Today, I had the exciting opportunity to take over another indie romance author's social media and promote my book, "The Biker's Dark Secret," along with my other works. A dear friend also helped spread the word about this story on her pages. Thank you, Zahira, for your support! 🥰
Lillianna’s Point of View Mr. Fiore's frown deepened as he approached the host and me. "That's not the Woods' table," he said firmly. "Nonso, please take your break now." The host, Nonso, quickly nodded and hurried away, surprising me with his agility for someone his size. Mr. Fiore then turned to me with a kind smile on his face. “Lillianna, you look stunning this evening. Please forgive any mistakes made by my employee; I hope it didn't ruin your experience. It's always a pleasure to have you here," Mr. Fiore said with a smile. I couldn't help but return the smile. Xavier and I had been regulars at this restaurant for years, especially on special occasions. Our friends Matt and Tom usually joined us as well. We always requested to sit at one of the larger tables in the back because we tended to get loud and rowdy during our gatherings. “Your friends have already arrived. I’ll bring you over, my dear,” Mr. Fiore gestured for me to follow him. All eyes were on me as I walked thr
Xavier’s Point of ViewMy desire for Rei had been building since she left my bed earlier. But when she returned, her hair dishevelled and clad only in my T-shirt, it was even more irresistible than I imagined. As she asked what her punishment would be for her naughty behaviour, biting her lip seductively, I completely lost control. It was like a forbidden fantasy brought to life before my eyes.I beckoned her to crawl back onto the bed, positioning herself on all fours for me. I hungered to taste her and then f.uck her relentlessly from behind. Every thrust of my throbbing member in and out of her gorgeous p.ussy was a vision to behold. With each expertly angled movement, I could feel Rei's walls clenching around me, driving me closer to the brink. Sensing she was on the edge of ecstasy, I drew her into my embrace and fervently rubbed her swollen clit until she screamed my name and exploded in a torrent of pleasure, squirting everywhere.Rei gasped, her eyes widening in shock as she lo
Grace’s Point of ViewI just finished texting Xavier when I noticed Shiloh standing before me."Mom won't be back until later, will she?" Shiloh inquired."No, she's staying at Xavier's a while longer. Is that bothering you?" I asked.Shiloh's eyes were fixed on me as I sipped my coffee. It seemed like she was wrestling with inner turmoil, and I couldn't help but wonder what was on her mind."Shiloh, is it bothering you that your mom is spending more time with Xavier instead of coming home right away?" I pressed.“No, I’m kind of glad she isn’t. I need to talk to you about something,” Shiloh mumbled.I patted the seat beside me and urged Shiloh to tell me what was on her mind. I wasn’t prepared for what she asked me.“Is Aamon Brzezinski my father?” Shiloh asked.I nearly choked on my coffee and gaped at her in utter disbelief. I must have heard her wrong. How could Shiloh possibly know who Aaman was, let alone think he was her father?"Wait, hold on. Did you just say what I think you
Aamon’s Point of ViewI received a text from Grace asking me to come over in approximately two hours. She said the boys couldn't wait to meet me as well. I hoped their enthusiasm for meeting their "Aunt" Grace's boyfriend wouldn't fade too soon. I had witnessed them growing up from a distance, and I wouldn't pass up the chance to spend an afternoon with them.Grace mentioned that Xavier had given the kids a building set and Shiloh a gift card for the local bookstore. She told me I didn't have to get them anything, but it might be a good way to connect with them. So I asked her to send me a photo of the box so I wouldn't buy the same one. But when I got to the mall, I ended up getting an even more extensive set than Xavier's. Not because I was trying to compete but because I wanted to spend time building it with them (if they would let me). I never had siblings growing up, so this was a new experience. As for Shiloh's gift card, I added more value so she could have more options on what
Aamon’s Point of ViewA younger version of my step-sister opened the door, her expression controlled and confident. However, I could tell she was nervous by how her hand trembled as she held the doorknob. I greeted her with a smile and introduced myself. Shiloh returned my smile and motioned for me to come inside.As soon as I stepped through the door, Onyx and Salem barreled down the stairs, stopping before me. Grace followed closely behind, looking overwhelmed. She seemed on edge, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. After all, she was supposed to be the adult here. What were these kids up to?“Hello, Aunt Grace’s boyfriend,” giggled Salem while Grace turned a deep shade of red.Oh, so that was what was going on. I knew Grace had never had anyone significant in her life, one meaningful enough to introduce to these kids. I was especially glad she had suggested the build set now. I smiled and handed the boys the bag. Their eyes grew wide when they took the bag but were eve
Rei’s Point of ViewI found myself standing next to X, watching the sunrise once more. It felt so real, but I knew it was just a dream. I couldn't help but blush as he admired me in Xavier’s t-shirt, the only thing covering my body. X's eyes travelled up my body, and I could feel his intense gaze. With a smirk, he tucked his hands in his pockets and devoured me with his eyes."Looks like things are going well," X chuckled seductively.“Um, thank you?” I squeaked, trying to pull the T-shirt down a bit more. My ass was covered, but I still felt naked as I felt his gaze linger on my body.“Why so shy, Rei?” X asked with a confident smirk and his eyes dancing in a very naughty way.I felt a blush creeping across my face under his intense gaze. He grinned slyly and bit his lip, sending shivers down my spine. Fuck. He was a dream and yet X gave me all the feels as if he was real.“But I am real. To you, at least. In the end, that’s all that matters, right?” X asked.I forgot in my dreams X a
Xavier’s Point of ViewI watched Rei as she slept. Although her face had a peculiar expression, she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. I struggled to figure out how I could explain everything to her without jeopardizing our relationship. Where did I even begin?I had the day with her, though. Grace would stay with the kids and I could take my time working up the courage to tell Rei the truth. I dreaded having to tell Rei the truth, knowing it would cause her pain. My heart ached at the thought of hurting her in any way.When Rei did wake up she hid her beautiful face on my chest. Why did she always feel so self-conscious around me? I needed to find a way to reassure Rei how beautiful she was to me, and that I truly loved her. I wish I had more time to do that before telling Rei the truth. I was running out of time.I let Rei rest and went to the kitchen to make coffee and breakfast. I cooked scrambled eggs, toast, and a few crispy bacon strips. It was a welcome change to cook for some
Lillianna’s Point of ViewAfter parking my bike a safe distance from Xavier's apartment, I walked towards it while constantly scanning my surroundings. I was aware that I was being watched, but I wanted whoever was observing me to know that I wasn't oblivious to their presence. Also, I needed to ensure that only Aamon's employees were keeping an eye on me at the moment.I noticed two strategically positioned cars with a clear view of Xavier's apartment. I recognized the employees as very loyal to Aamon. They were just as skilled and deadly as me. He wasn't leaving anything to chance, which was worth noting.As I turned to go, I caught sight of two people watching me who I recognized. When my eyes locked with theirs, they got out of their vehicle and started to advance on me. They were bold and stupid—very, very stupid. They had no idea who they were messing with.“You have a lot of nerve coming here, Lillianna,” Sam shouted, her tone laced with anger and disbelief.My hands curled into
Rei's Point of ViewI yearned for the freedom and exhilaration of riding on the back of Xavier's motorcycle, but ever since we found out about my pregnancy, he insisted on taking the car whenever we went out together. While I understood his concern for my safety and that of our unborn child, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss for the rush of wind in my hair and feeling like I was flying with him. This baby was a surprise blessing for us, one we both cherished deeply, yet I couldn't shake off the lingering longing for our carefree rides on his bike.Shiloh had kindly offered to take care of Onyx and Salem while Xavier took me out for a date. Life had been hectic with moving into a new house and the kids starting at a new school. Though we didn't live in our small hometown anymore, we were still close by. It was a chance to start fresh, something we all needed. The kids had finally found their place and made friends who often hung out at our house, enjoying bonfires and stargazing
Rei’s Point of ViewTwo weeks passed by in the blink of an eye. It was strange adapting to our new normal. The kids were pulled from school so that we could have a proper funeral for my grandfather and we could find new living arrangements. Saying farewell to a man who played such an influential role in my life yet remained unknown until his last moments was an incredibly surreal experience.As the casket was closed, Shiloh and Onyx remained silent as they said their final goodbyes. I couldn't help but notice Xavier, Aamon, and Salem standing together. Both men reached for one of Salem's hands, causing him to straighten his back and take a deep breath. It was almost as if he acknowledged someone or something only he could see. I tried to look in the same direction but saw nothing. However, recent events have taught me not to discount the possibility of there being something more beyond our physical world.Since our last moments together, I hadn't sensed X's presence. However, not long
Rei’s Point of ViewMy choice. This time, it would be my choice. The words echoed in my mind as I stared at my three sleeping children. I couldn’t recall a time except when Xavier came into my life when I was truly given a choice—when the decision was entirely my own.“You have a lot to think about. Why don’t I give you some space to do that?” my brother said as he patted my head and walked out of the room.My brother. I have a brother who is dating my best friend. I’m still trying to wrap my head around that. Wait, Aamon just patted my head as he walked out, much like Onyx would do to Salem. I smiled to myself at the thought.Honestly, I had no desire to return to the house. It held too many painful memories of my grandfather's death and Lillianna's betrayal. Every room felt haunted by the life I once shared with Greg. Starting fresh in a new place with Xavier and the children sounded like the best option.However, relocating my children from their current school and leaving behind th
Aamon’s Point of ViewAs Xavier left the room, the office fell into a heavy silence. Rei's nervous eyes darted around, taking in each of our faces."Chloe, were you paid to be my friend?" she asked hesitantly.All eyes turned to me, and I let out a sigh."I hired Chloe to protect you and Grace to become your friend. But Chloe, Grace, and Iris genuinely care about you, Rei. It may have started as a job for them, but their feelings for you are real," I explained."Ladies, Rei and I haven't had a chance to talk alone as siblings yet. Could you give us some privacy for a few minutes? Maybe check on Xavier and contact Sam to make sure she's okay. With our new circumstances, it would be best if Alex, Tom, and Matt knew what we were dealing with. If we're going to change how we operate, we'll need the support and understanding of our loved ones," I suggested.Grace squeezed my hand in support and kissed my cheek softly."I can stay if you need me to," she whispered discreetly.I smiled at her
Xavier’s Point of ViewOn my way back to the office, I passed by the kids playing in the game room. Salem noticed me and studied me intensely as if he was trying to figure something out. His face showed his frustration, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Then, he looked past me and gave me a disapproving look. I turned around, expecting to see something or someone that had caused Salem's reaction, but there was nothing there. Just as I was about to continue on my way, Salem spoke up and caught my attention.Salem looked at me seriously and asked, "Can I talk to you, Xavier?""Absolutely," I replied. I noticed him looking over my shoulder and then sticking his tongue out. It was strange behaviour, but considering all that Salem had been through recently, it could have been his way of coping. At least he felt comfortable enough to come to me when he needed to talk."Can we go to your room to talk? Unless you and Mom didn't clean up, and it's too messy in there," Salem aske
Grace’s Point of ViewAs I opened my eyes, I realized that the bed was empty. Aamon was not there, and I could feel the coldness of the sheets where he had been laying. He must have left a while ago. I sat up quickly, pulling the sheets closer to my body for warmth. I let out a sigh, hoping that everything was alright. This was something that I needed to get used to once again, especially now that Aamon was in charge of the organization.As I dressed, I realized Rei had no clothes to change into. I rummaged through the bag of unpacked clothing and found a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, underwear, and a bra that would fit her. This would suffice for now; we could find a more permanent solution for Rei and Xavier's clothing later. Xavier had left everything behind at his apartment to get Rei to the hospital on time, so he also needed some clothes. Fortunately, I found a T-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants that should fit him well enough. Aamon and Xavier had similar builds, which worked out
Shiloh’s Point of ViewI rolled my eyes as Salem ranted about Mr. Shiny Light Pants being a real person and how we were too clueless to see him. Eventually, he quieted down and started playing the game with Onyx. I couldn't help but reflect on how Salem had always believed that someone was watching over us, even when we were younger. Maybe he was right all along. With everything going on and our world turned upside down, I had to admit that anything was possible now.I leaned back in my seat and let out a deep sigh. Onyx glanced at me with concern, but I shook my head slightly and silently mouthed, "I'm okay, just exhausted." He nodded in understanding and mouthed back, "Me too." Strangely, this experience had brought my brothers and me closer than ever before. I had a feeling we would need each other even more as we adapted to our new lives and identities.Would we end up at the same school? Would people talk about us? It was obvious Mom was going to marry Xavier. His love for her was
X’s Point of ViewJust as I had done with Kaz, I guided Lillianna toward the light. It was effortless with Kaz; I respected the Don and enjoyed his company. However, I couldn't stand Lillianna. Yet, there was a glimmer of something in her that I couldn't ignore. After she crossed over to the light completely, I turned to leave."You're not coming with me, are you?" she asked."No," I replied."Will we ever meet again?" Lillianna's voice trembled with emotion."Not if I have any say in it," I responded sharply.“I loved him, you know. In my own way, I loved Xavier. And maybe, just maybe, he could have loved me back,” Lillianna revealed.“But you knew his heart was devoted to someone else, yet you persisted in your pursuit of him. He was never yours to claim. While Xavier may have shared his body with you, his heart always belonged to Rei. And it always will,” I retorted.“You love Rei. I can't quite comprehend who or what you are, but I recognize that feeling of loving someone you can n
Lillianna’s Point of ViewThe audacity of Aamon was unfathomable. Without a second thought, he had given my hard-earned jobs to Chloe, someone who had no business taking them from me. My head spun with fury, drowning out any sounds around me until Iris appeared, her cold voice cutting through the chaos. Before I could react, a searing pain ripped through my abdomen as her bullet tore into me. I felt my insides lurch and knew she had hit vital organs. The shock was almost too much to bear as I gasped for air, realizing this was how I imagined my end. A scream rose in my throat, but was stifled by the shock and agony coursing through my body. All I could do was curse fate for this cruel and undeserved death as I bled out on the floor in front of the bathroom. Rage turned to despair as my last thoughts faded into darkness.Chloe’s Point of ViewI couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. Iris had made a grand entrance and delivered a deadly blow with precision and finality. As I stood t
