✴ Book 2 of "Taming His Mistress" ✴
Everyone has their demons. Some of us choose to keep them hidden. But what happens when your demons come out to play? You can't run away from them. They're not going away.
Shadow and Angeline faced their share of...
"You did what?!" I gasped, I stared at Shadow as he shifted awkwardly. We were in the mall, doing some shopping. Shadow mentioned he wanted to go to the jewelry store to get Angeline a gift. This is not what I was expecting.
"I asked her to marry me. She said yes if I proposed right. Which I don't know how to because I've never done it before!!" He blushed and bit his lip.
"So what, you two get married and I'm the boyfriend?" I asked. I was absolutely not ready to be married. But I supported Shadow 100%.
"Yes, until you are ready to marry. But I need your help. I don't know what kind of ring to get, or how I'm going to propose!" He huffed.
"It depends. Are you going for a traditional ring? Or a BDSM related ring?" I asked. That made him churn his face even more.
"She saved me by becoming my Mistress. I want a ring that shows how thankful I am for that. And how much I love her. I know it's not the normal way, but I want to plan the wedding. She's done so much for me already. I want to show how grateful I am." We headed out of the store and walked over to the pizza shack. We needed brain food.
"I'm thankful for the both of you. So I will definitely help plan the wedding. Considering all of your friends are in the lifestyle, are we gonna do a BDSM wedding?" I asked.
"That's a great idea! That way everyone can be comfortable! But if we do that, we have to get specially designed everything. I want it to be perfect." He bounced up and down in excitement.
"You're so gay," I smirked.
"You liiikkkeee iiitttt." He winked and slammed his lips into mine.
"You bet your ass I do," I mumbled as I bit his lip.
"You know what that does to me." He whispered.
"Do I?" I smirked.
"You're so mean." He whined. The man gave us our pizza with a disgusted glare. Shadow paid him absolutely no attention. I glared back. Damn homophobes. We sat down and began eating. I pulled up Pinterest and we both went through different rings and wedding design. I created a folder for each section. I wanted this wedding to be as perfect as they are.
"We could probably get a custom designed ring. Combine what we saw and make it perfect for Angeline." I offered as we scrolled through the 20 different rings we saved.
"That's a great idea! But I don't know the first thing about rings. Who do we call to do a design as we want?" Shadow sighed.
"I can help with that." A woman said. We looked up to see a beautiful stranger standing in front of us, she was smiling at Shadow.
"Gizelle! It's so nice to see you again!!" He shot up and gave her the biggest hug.
"And who is this?" She asked and smiled at me.
"This is Timothy. He's our boy toy." He winked. I blushed and she giggled.
"Hi Timothy, I'm Gizelle. I am Ruvik's sister. It is nice to finally meet you." She shook my hand and I looked over to Shadow.
"And when did you two meet? We just got here." I asked.
"After my scene with Ruvik, he took care of me afterwards. Let me nap in his study, that's when I met Giselle. She is in the art industry!" He pinched my blushing cheek and I swatted his hand away.
"You are correct! And I have the hook-up when it comes to designer anything!!" She smiled.
"That's great! We're planning a wedding." I smiled. Her eyes lit up and she jumped in excitement.
"I LOVE WEDDINGS!!" She cheered.
"Shhh!" Shadow placed his hands on her shoulders to keep her from bouncing.
"Okay. Sorry." She giggled.
"We would love your help." Shadow smiled.
"So, we need to meet up frequently to go over details! How long are you in Italy?" She asked.
"Until we figure out who's after us," Shadow mumbled.
"I heard big bro talking about that. Don't you two worry, this is the safest place you can be." She gave Shadow a hug and gave me a hug. She smelled like peaches.
"I have to run, I have a gala to host." She smiled.
"Okay. Text me when you are free so we can meet up!" Shadow smiled.
"Yabsolutely." She winked and strutted off.
"So the beast has a sister," I commented.
"That he does, and she's a lesbian." He sighed, almost sadly. Sometimes I feel like Shadow will fuck anything that walks. But then I remember what happened when I first kissed him and the thought vanished as quickly as it came.
"My gaydar must be broken." I started picking up our trash to throw away. We had to meet up with Angeline so we could head back to Ruvik's house. She promised that tomorrow we would explore the city, go sightseeing. I was excited about that. I have never been outside of the US. This place is absolutely amazing. Even though most people speak Italian and I don't know what they are saying.
"Are you worried? I am." Shadow gripped my hand as we walked to the meeting spot.
"About what?" I asked, completely oblivious to what he was referring to.
"The big talk tonight." He sighed.
"Oh yeah. Angeline is going to tell us who is after us." My gut churned. I desperately hoped it wasn't R. I didn't want to be the reason someone is trying to hunt us down.
"I'm nervous." He sighed.
"Me too." My eyes started scanning the crowd for a familiar face. I didn't see him. Man, I'm in another country and the panic is still high. We approached our meeting spot. I saw Angeline hunched over, shaking like she was crying. Charlotte was comforting her and Ruvik was yelling angrily into the phone.
"I don't give a FUCK!! IT WAS YOUR JOB TO MAKE SURE HE GOT HERE SAFELY." Ruvik spat.
"Mommy! What's going on?" Shadow panicked.
"Honey. Scar has passed away." Charlotte said sadly.
"Wh... What??" Shadow stood there, frozen. The blood drained from his face.
"He was murdered," Angeline said flatly.
"What do you mean murdered??" I stepped forward.
"The people after us..." She sobbed.
"What maniac would do such a thing?!" I said angrily.
"I knew we shouldn't have left him!!" Shadow screamed and ran off.
"Shadow!!" I yelled and followed after him, Ruvik's security team right on my heels.
