“I knew thet guy had somethin’ to hide. Fer shure, the minute I saw him with that handsome charmin’ smile o’ his, I swear he’s probably one of them fraudsters, swindlers, or con artist types that probably preyed on rich old ladies after givin’ them a good time on their backsides. He’s jus’ too nice and clean to be a legit biker, that’s fer damn shure…”Myron could hear the diner owner/cashier yapping, as he continued to look through the videos on the establishment’s computer which was hidden in the smallest back room of the kitchen area, but he wasn’t really listening. Sure, he did pay complete attention when the guy was talking about what happened when The Left Hand decided to stop over and have a meal in their place. But after finding out that their CCTV system recorded the incident, he had already focused on that instead.Good thing The Detective had gotten the “I look like I’m paying attention even if I’m really not and you won’t even realize it since I’m so good at pretending” fa
“I’m ok with just soup and a salad, Miss. But thank you very much for letting me know about the specials offered here. That was really nice of you,” the good-looking former assassin said with a very sweet and charming smile. Which, unknown to him, was turning the pretty waitresses’ knees to jelly. “Oh… Are you sure? You look pretty tired and hungry right now so I just think you might need something more than just soup and salad.” “Really now, and what would you like to offer me that you haven’t already told me?” “Well, I can go to the back of the Diner and see what I can give you… That is, if you can wait…” “Hmmm… that’s very tempting. But I hope what you have would be a very… hot meal…” “They say I make a pretty good chicken… or beefcake…” “You don’t say… I think I’m starting to get really hungry now…” The blond girl with the pale pinkish skin and freckles was indeed very nice, and he wasn’t just thinking about her personality. Back then at the packhouse, he was never really th
“Hello Miss, we were requested by Officer Gabrielle to reheat his coffee and bring it to him. Is this his mug?”“Oh yes, it is. That’s so nice of you,” the girly lady cheerily said. “Do you think I could be the one to bring it to him once it’s ready?”“Sorry, Miss... The boss said no outsiders are allowed in there. It just so happens that Sir Gabrielle is a cop so our boss had to comply with his requests.“Ohhhh… ok, I understand. But can I give the detective a little note with his coffee?”The waitress, who happened to be Daisy, couldn’t help but smile a little at the romantic gesture of the cop’s girlfriend. Of course, the lady could easily just send her man a text message but he probably wouldn’t notice that until after he’s done watching the video. Also, you have to admit that a note had a more personal touch.And upon seeing the small diamond on Raquel’s ring finger, she felt a little pang of envy, not because of the man - since she’s really not into boyish-looking males - But be
“Sorry for my delayed reply, I had to make an order for him since he’s so busy at the moment. I’ll give you my report once I’m in a more private place, most probably when he’s asleep. But yes, like I said before, we have found some more evidence that the Right Hand is still alive. Just wait for his report as well since I’m unaware of what he’s found out right now,” she typed on her mobile, then pressed the “Send” icon. It took a while for her sponsor’s reply to push through so she had to use her fingerprint to remove her cellphone’s screensaver, which was a fun, loving and almost indecent photo of her and Myron inside a phone booth, just to see the message. “No need to report, since it might overlap with his. I’ll call you again tomorrow instead. Goodbye, for now,’ the sent text read. “How I wish it was a goodbye forever. I would be so lucky if that actually happened,” murmured the girly girl dejectedly to herself. “Damn it, the more I hide from him, the more I’m afraid he’ll find o
At this point, the lumberyard owner stopped completely so he could face his employee, and they just so happened to stop right in front of the clinic’s door.“WHAT?! What the hell you guys are talking about?! Competition?! She doesn’t even like me that way!”Good thing there were no people around on the second floor who would hear Jack yelling since lunchtime had already ended and everyone was busy with tasks outside the office building. Well, everyone except the ones that were in the clinic, who didn’t seem interested in what their superior was flustered over at the moment.Except, of course, Sam...“Calm down, boss. People might hear… But I gotta admit, we have kinda wondered if she did like you that way, would Max go warn you to stay away from her the same way he’s done with everyone who showed even a bit of interest in her?”“Oh, I’d like to see him try,” hissed Jack. “I know he did the same to Eron since I actually saw them talking about it the first time they met.”“Yeah, that st
It seemed the longer and the closer he was to her, the more intense and frequent her psychic powers were becoming. Or could it be that because he’s her mate he could feel her skills more than others, and it may even be that the more they became familiar with each other, the stronger her abilities were becoming?And he didn’t know if this was a good or a bad thing…“It’s nothing, Eron...” the confused and suffering woman mumbled as she kept avoiding his stare, afraid of hearing what his eyes were saying. “You shouldn’t be worrying about me.”“Heh, I can’t exactly do that, Diwa. People will be blaming me for not taking care of you and they’ll say it’s my fault they don’t have any delicious food served to them for their lunch and breaks. And I don’t have an excuse, since I live in your house now and even walk with you to work. Yep, they’ll have my hide, for sure.”The chuckle in his voice touched the young widow’s aching heart with a bit of warmth that was so unexpected, that she couldn’
“Orlando, good news. You’ll be meeting your future landlady earlier than usual.”The lumberyard’s newest hire was so surprised by his new friend’s announcement that his greeting Died midway through his throat. It wasn’t what he was expecting to hear, and at the same time, he wondered if this charming man was really as emotionally involved as the vendor lady that he carried in his arms a while ago.His thoughts: OK, he’s suddenly not that bothered by her being in a weakened state and he Didn’t even bring that up. Or maybe this is what the drama series would be a state of denial, where the main character would act as if what he felt isn’t really as deep as he thought it was and is now trying to reason it away… or it could be that he hasn’t seen the minor character to be trustworthy enough to open up to? Yeah, that’s more likely the reason… but he seems so intent on helping me even when I have connections to his enemy…“Hey, Orlie… What's happening? You look like your brain got hijacked.
“Shut up already, guys. Her phone is already ringing…” a young girl ordered her siblings as she had her mobile up to her ear. “I won’t be abke to hear her with all your noise in the background.”“Well, at least her phone is still ok. That’s a good sign…” sighed a young male in relief. “Okay, will be quiet now, big sister.”“I hope she’s ok. What could have happened to her…?” said a more babyish female voice in a worried tone. “All right, will stay silent too, tee hee hee…”Right at that moment, the other line clicked and an eager but weak female voice replied, “Hello, Erica?”“YES! Diwana what happened? We were so worried about you! Why haven’t you come home yet?”“I’m sorry for scaring you all but something happened… and I had to go back to the lumberyard and do a very important task.”“Well, at least Eron and Jack are there to help you. But they should have thought to call us when they had the chance, damn it!”“I’m sorry, girl, but I guess they got so worried over me and… What I to
“Diwana, I know you’re in there,” Eron soothingly said as he knocked on his new spouse’s bedroom door in the hopes that she would let him in without much fuss or fight. “I just want to talk, honey pie. Would that be OK?”The muscular Charmer waited a moment, but due to his enhanced hearing, he was sure that his troubled wife was already rising from her bed and was about to open her bedroom door. Within half a minute, she had already done so, but it was obvious from her facial expression that she was anything but all right.Eron instantly held her close as his fingers rubbed her long, wavy, ebony tresses before she could say anything.“Why do you look so down, Di? You can tell me, alright? What’s bothering you, pumpkin pie?”“I can’t do it, my love. I feel so weird doing it. It feels as if I’m not even a normal human being,” Diwana sobbed as a warm tear or two fell on her caring man’s shirt. “I’m afraid the kids may see me differently when I use my magical powers… Or even you!”Eron h
Eron speed-walked into the kitchen and was surprised to only find his Twinny with Mr. and Mrs. Merhi looking unsure at each other. In front of them was a large violet bucket of dark green liquid beside the large dining table with all the food items that they planned to feed the Ogre’s men upon their arrival.“Twinny, where is my wife?” the bulked-up former city man asked hesitantly.“She got a little overwhelmed when Tess and I told her all the possible things she could do with her Faye powers,” the dejected Luna stated with a crestfallen sigh. “I think she was overcome knowing everything that she could do, Twinny. But her Tikbalang Father assured us that it is absolutely essential that she learn the majority of her powers because of the upcoming battles that she would need to face.”“I feel that Senyor Armanaz means to pit her against that whore witch Chin Kahlagu when Eleuthera finally goes full force, Eron,” the chubby Police Chief admitted as he lovingly held his wife Tessy to his
“Hello, mom! It’s Emily…”At that point, Jack could hear various muffled but delighted female squeals and male yells in the background of his new fiancé’s phone call’s other line, which was obviously on speaker mode. He could easily tell that Em’s family was truly rejoicing over her return to Mendez.After a few moments of awkwardly answering her parent’s and siblings’ questions about her sudden disappearance from their village, the young light-haired lumberyard owner cleared his throat to make the female abductee aware of his presence along with his willingness to rescue her from telling more about her past traumatic experiences to her very curious family members.“Oh, by the way, I’d like to introduce a longtime friend to everyone there. Everybody, this is Jack. Remember the guy who gifted me the so-called alabaster box as you all called it years before? He would like to talk to you, Dad, if it’s OK?”“Yes, I do remember him, daughter. Put him on the line, please…”At her male paren
“Eron, I’m already done with your request,” Madame Tess declared with a pleased voice as she entered the half-filled living room. “We can now use it to enchant the food items that you plan to feed to your Ärger guests.”The hazel-eyed Charmer immediately stood up from the flowery-patterned armchair where he was lounging and gave a small nod and smile of approval at what he heard. “That’s wonderful news, Mrs. Merhi! Now all we have to do is drizzle your potion on the foodstuff in the dining room table and kitchen counters.”“Leave that to us and your Twinny, son. But I would like to ask Diwana to join us so we can continue to teach her how to use her Faye magic.”“Of course, Madame. All you need to do is ask,” the smiling curvy mate said as she stood from the matching floral sofa, then quickly walked towards her renter slash magic mentor. “We can begin now, no problem.”“While you're doing that, we’ll just take our ride back to our rented shack and get those skinned bunnies so you can
The door of the nearest 2nd-storey bedroom next to the wide staircase resounded with half a dozen loud knocks before Emily could answer the door.“Just a minute, Helena. I needed to take a bath since I couldn’t take one before I had completed the medical examination at the hospital this morning,” the young lady said in a voice loud enough to be heard by the person behind the door. “I hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”Emily quickly opened the door and gasped in surprise at the sight of the tall, good-looking and well-built man behind it. She froze, her mouth wide open in the middle of wiping her dripping hair with the white towel provided by their landlady. “J-Jack, why are you here?” stuttered the rescued female, in shock and extreme nervousness.“Hello, Emmy. Can I talk to you for a bit?” the lumberyard supervisor asked a little hesitantly. “That is, if you have nothing to do right now…”“No… I mean, yes, I am not busy at the moment, so yeah, we can talk. Please come in,” the
“Hey, Hero. Looks like your Eleuthera idea is turning out great!” Nick said from the passenger seat of his friend’s car. “Am I also glad that you’ll now be freeing your men and my buddies from that Chin bitch’s hold! That has always been a problem for me, which is why I keep Brenner’s concoction regularly to counter Chin’s potions in our food that’s being served at the mansion.”“It was one of the first things that Bren mentioned after he realized it. He ate from the governor’s buffet table and found himself sexually pleasuring the governor without even being aware of how it happened, bro,” the Ogre admitted as he continued to drive around 1 mile per hour less than the highway’s speed limit since he was in a hurry to get to Mendez and he knew that the high-powered vans where the Ärgers that were riding behind him were closely following him. He was driving this fast since he truly wanted to liberate his men from the enchantment of the governor’s wife and Ed himself as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, back in the city…Ring, ring, ring… Click!“Hello, wife. Why are you calling me on my landline so early in the morning? This better be really important, Chin!”“It is, Ed. Have your private army already gone to Mendez?”“Yes, they left with my Left Hand a few hours ago…”“I just looked into my scrying crystal and I saw your precious little Left hand will soon manage to break the loyalty spell that I put on the Ärgers somehow!”“What? He would not dare! Didn’t your spell work on the Ogre as well, wife?”“I don’t know how, but he and the Right Hand seem impervious to my lesser-powered enchantments even from day one. I remember telling you that even from the start, husband dear. Don’t you remember?”The governor swallowed the words that he was about to say and just left them to run through his thoughts as he remained silent; I do remember your warning, Chin, but it mattered to me that anyone cannot influence my closest underlings by magic or sorcery. Even by you, wife. I canno
“Okay Macky, please let them know your mama and me will just get dressed then we’ll be meeting them downstairs!” the former Right Hand yelled from inside the locked bathroom. “Just tell them to wait, alright?”“Yep, will do Papa Eron!” the smiling male youth replied, then immediately left to obediently follow his new stepfather’s instructions. “Oh, before I forget Papa, I brought the clothes that you were carrying home with you inside your bedroom.”“Thanks, Macky!” As he answered his new stepson, the muscular tinkerer stood up from the white clawed-foot bathtub and then offered his large, long-fingered hand to his mate. While the fully naked Lycan husband gently pulled his wife to her feet, Diwa suddenly spoke up.“Don’t you lock your door, love? I remember handing you the key for it when you paid your advance before…”“I never do, cupcake, and now that you will let me transfer to your room since we are now married, we can let my Twinny transfer to my bedroom and let Macky go back to
“Is it okay if I use the bathtub while you shower, Eron?” the naked curvy Diwa inquired as she slowly stepped into her filled bubbly bath which she had already prepared to meet her preference. “That way we can take our baths in unison so we can be on time to receive our guests later.”The younger hazel-eyed muscled male smirked as he replied, “Why should we take separate baths, cherry pie when I’m sure we can both fit in the bathtub?” he suggested as his passion heavily reflected from his eyes and tone while he slowly approached his now-soaking and sponging wife.“But how on earth can we fit in here, husband?” asked Diwa in a half-laughing and partially panicked voice as she tried to move her long tanned and smooth legs to accommodate the burly hunk of a man as he stepped into the warm and fragrant waters of the tub. “I don’t think that’s possible, love.”Eron chuckled low, his broad, hairy chest rumbling along to his deep and delicious masculine sound. “Believe me, Diwana there are so
