All Chapters of Shadows Of The Heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Holy shit! She thought as she cleaned herself up in the small bathroom. That was so fucking hot, so erotic and sensual.Carine felt a flush rise up her neck at the thought of what they had just done.And at work too! Anyone might have turned up.Yeah but that’s what made it feel even better. Another part of her said.The thought of getting caught while Vanadine was inside her sent a thrill of excitement through her and she smiled.Who are you becoming? Her mind asked. This isn’t you. You’re a good girl who only sleeps with a man after a few dates and then only in bed.Maybe this is me. She thought. Plus we’re both adults, single and not hurting anyone so what’s the harm in some great sex with a hot guy? And it feels so good.Carine had to admit it had been the best two experiences of her life. She had been with other men but they just seemed to want to satisfy their own needs and glanced over hers, leaving her frustrated and having to finish herself off. Vanadine was utterly different

Watching the ground pass beneath her had become something normal eventually. The action of her bouncing in time with Horann’s steps had stopped hurting as she became used to the situation. There was nothing she could do. Struggling was pointless she had found as Horann’s strength exceeded hers by a limitless factor and fighting against it was like fighting stone.You’ve got to do something! Her mind had told her. Vanadine will come but might not be able to save you.“You’re Horann, right?” Carine had asked, her voice sounding strange as she bounced along on the creature’s shoulder.As a reply Carine received a low growl.“Vanadine told me about you,” she had said.“All my good qualities?” Horann had asked with something she assumed was a chuckle.“Yes, actually,” Carine had said, trying anything she could think of to get the thing to put her down.When it happened she was unprepared and felt the air blasted from her lungs as she hit the ground. She rolled to her side, her back screami

Heart pounding and trembling in utter fear, Carine could only watch as Horann reached for her. The creature seemed to have limitless strength despite the injuries Vanadine had given her and the restricted air where he was squeezing the life from her. Yet this was not Hann and Vanadine was struggling against the thing he was riding on the back of.Carine’s chest had folded in when Horann had burned him, crying out when she had stabbed her claws into his belly, the blood trickling down his abdomen and soaking his shirt. Misery, horror and despair had rolled through her as she watched the pair clawing and hitting each other. For some reason, she had thought a fight between Elves would be a more structured thing similar to a karate fight in the Olympics. Yet this was a savage, base brawl, each of them just trying to hurt their opponent in any way they could.Horann’s clawed hand inched towards Carine as she stared at it, petrified and glued to the spot.Fucking move! Her mind screamed but

Don’t go! Carine had thought as Vanadine walked from the chamber without a backwards glance. He can’t be going to do as they said. She thought. He wouldn’t…Yet Carine knew Vanadine would do anything for her, even if it meant his own life being lost so a few strangers would mean nothing to him.Never mind that, what about the things he said about other women? Her mind demanded. What is he going to do go back to Earth and shack up with Laura?Of course not! Carine thought.Even so a small part of her mind wondered if he had spoken the truth when he said he was just fond of her.“Take her somewhere pleasant,” Adnanter said. “And dispose of that,” he added, flicking his hand at Horann’s corpse.Carine was dragged away through a maze of tunnels that all looked the same until she was utterly lost. Eventually the guard dragged her up an almost endless flight of stairs that doubled back and curled around madly. Reaching the top Carine was out of breath and her thighs ached. The guard seemed

“Explosives?!” Laura shouted. “What the Hell for?”“Blowing stuff up,” Vanadine said. “What else?”“What or who?” Laura demanded.“People in Elaris,” Vanadine assured her. “No one here, I promise.”“And this Tony, who’s he?”“Drug dealer,” Vanadine said. “But I’m sure he can get what I need or tell me where to go.”Laura looked sceptical as she stared sat him, obviously having difficulty with the truth.“How do you know drug dealers?” Laura asked.“I’ve been targeting his men, beating them up and robbing them,” Vanadine said simply. “That’s where I get my money. I prey on the predators.”“I can’t let you do this,” she said.“Lucky for me I don’t need your permission,” Vanadine said.“But what if they do something to you? What about Carine?”“I’m doing this for Carine,” Vanadine said, a little annoyance trickling through him. “To get to her and bring her back.”All these questions!Vanadine stood, his decision made.“Wait!” Laura cried.“What now?” Vanadine demanded in exasperation.La
