Shelby didn't arrive back to the mansion until it was already 8 in the morning. Sierra and Amelia came running towards Shelby both jumping into her arms. Sierra & Amelia: Mommy! Mommy!

She went to the training grounds behind the mansion and that's where she found them. They were practicing knife fighting. Shelby couldn't help but stare at Rykers shirtless and sweaty body. It took a moment for her to contain herself. Shelby: Mason, Jason, Ryker I need to speak to you right away They turned towards her hearing their names. Mason nodded and put his knife back in its holster and so did the other two and followed Shelby to the weapon vault Shelby: in a few weeks there will be a gala to celebrate our ally Marcus' birthday Mason: yeah you always go alone to it Shelby: not this year. I cant go alone this year. Jason: what do you mean Shelby: the gala is being held at Jacksons penthouse Ryker: what Shelby: and its a masquerade themed. I need two of you to come with me and one to stay and run things while we're gone Mason: I'll stay Shelby: are you sure Mason: yes Shelby nods to mason then points to jason and Ryker Shelby: you two will be my escorts so you better practice your dance room cause im sure Marcus will want traditional dancing. You have two weeks.

Is that what you wanted Ryker: shelby your stronger now he can't hurt you Shelby: he can't hurt me physically that is true but, he can hurt me emotional After saying that shelby walked away and Ryker was left alone Two weeks later the night of the gala Jason was helping Ryker put on his tie Jason: so your telling me your parents never taught you have to do your tie Ryker: they did but I could be never do it right Jason: alright thats done just one more thing ( jason hands ryker a gun) put this in the back of you pants just incase something happens Ryker takes the gun and places it securely in the back of his pants Ryker: alright we should go meet shelby Jason: agreed Besides the elevator there were a dozen stair cases and shelby had asked them to meet her there at the bottom step. When they got there Amelia and Sierra were playing with their dolls. Amelia: uncle jason you look nice Jason: thank you sweetie. Wheres your mother Sierra: she is on her way down and uncle Mason went to moms office Jason: thank you sweetie All of a sudden shelby came gracefully walking down the stair. She was in a beautiful dress, her hair what in curls and fell slightly on her shoulders. Ryker: wow you look gorgeous Shelby: thank you Ryker you look dashing Jason: shall we go, Johnny is waiting for us in the limo Shelby: yes She gave a quick hug to sierra and amelia before making her way to the limo. The ride to the penthouse was silent. When they arrived shelby was shaking in fear and was afraid to leave the limo. Ryker took her hand and told her everything would be fine.

Kissing You by Des'ree Started playing as they began dancing. Through her mask shelby could see Rykers eyes looking at her and the world disappeared around her. She was lost in the eyes of the man who she loved as a youth and that she even loves now. Seeing him looking back at her brought the memories of them dancing at homecoming. She felt so safe with his hands holding her leading her in a dance. She knew he felt the same thing she was at that moment because he kissed her as he held her. They continued dancing till the song was over and made their way back to Jason Jason: you two are just too fucking cute you know Shelby: you want a dance jason Jason: no im good A voice: he may not but I do Shelby knew that voice right away and didn't even need to turn to see his face Shelby: Jackson...
