Sheila POV.

I let the butterflies settle in my chest and tried to breathe around them.

"Try running it now," I said, voice coming out quieter than intended.

He reached for the laptop without moving away, his arm brushing across my body. The code ran perfectly.

"You're a genius," he said, still close enough that I felt the words as much as heard them.

"You would've figured it out," I said.

"Maybe," he said. "But not as fast. And definitely not while looking as good as you do right now."

My breath caught. He seemed to realize what he'd said, pulling back slightly, ears pink.

"I mean—"

"Bobby," I said, surprising myself with how steady my voice sounded. "It's okay."

He looked at me, something shifting in his expression. "Yeah?"

"Yeah," I said.

Zuki cleared her throat lightly. "Should I get more soda from downstairs?"

"No," Bobby said quickly, then seemed embarrassed by how fast he answered. "I mean, I'll get it. You guys stay."

He practically fled the room.

The second he was gone, Zuki m

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 22: Tuesday's Tension

    Sheila's POVTuesday arrived like a deadline I wasn't ready for.All day at work, my brain kept jumping ahead to Bobby's place. I stared at spreadsheets that might as well have been hieroglyphics, my mind replaying Zuki's instructions from breakfast: "Touch his arm when you laugh. Sit closer than usual. Let your knee bump his."Currently, Bobby and I were both running Master's programs while working remotely. As Team Lead for Enterprise Systems Integration at Callaghan Family Holdings' Las Vegas branch, I worked a hybrid schedule - three days in office, two remote.Bobby worked purely remote as a Junior Business Intelligence Developer. He never had to come into the office, which made keeping my secret easier.He had no idea I was the reason he got hired.I'd seen his application come through the system six months ago. His portfolio was solid - clean Python scripts, impressive dashboard work, strong SQL. But I knew how many qualified candidates got overlooked. So, the moment I saw his

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 21: Two Scripts, One Heart

    Sheila's POVSunday morning came too bright through my bedroom windows. The automatic curtains had opened at 8 AM like always, and I'd forgotten to override them.My legs hurt. My feet hurt. My head hurt a little from the shots. But mostly, my brain hurt from trying to process everything.I shuffled downstairs in my most comfortable old t-shirt and shorts, hair in a messy bun. The kitchen was ridiculous as always - marble everything, appliances that cost more than most people's cars. I just wanted coffee and silence.Zuki was already there, sitting at the breakfast bar in her hoodie and bare legs, scrolling her phone. She looked annoyingly awake."Morning, club girl," she said without looking up."I'm never going clubbing again," I muttered, pouring coffee from the fancy machine that probably had a PhD."You loved it," she said.I didn't answer. I wasn't ready to admit how many times I'd replayed last night before falling asleep. The club. The dancing. The lap dance. Her eyes on me. O

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 20: Smoke and Mirrors

    Sheila's POVThe Uber pulled up to our gate at nearly 1 AM. The driver whistled low at the sight of the estate beyond the iron bars."Nice place," he muttered.Zuki was already typing in the gate code on her phone app. The massive gates swung open silently, revealing the long driveway lined with palm trees and subtle ground lighting that made everything glow soft gold."Thanks for the ride," I said as we got out.The Uber disappeared back down the private road, red lights fading into the night.We walked up the driveway in silence, our heels clicking on the imported stone. The house loomed ahead - three stories of modern architecture and glass, every window dark except for the porch lights Mom always left on. Even after living here my whole life, sometimes the size of it made me feel small.At the front door, I fumbled for my keys, but instead of going inside, I found myself sitting down on the porch steps. The stone was cool through my dress.Zuki looked at me, surprised. "Not going

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 19: Through Her eyes

    Zuki's POVI watched Sheila move with hooded eyes.The sight of her - my cousin - giving this stranger a lap dance should have been funny. Or awkward. Or repulsive.Instead, I was mesmerized.She moved hesitantly at first, then with growing confidence. The black dress hugged her curves as she rolled her hips, her hair falling over one shoulder. When she arched her back slightly, pressing against him, I felt my pulse spike.I was shocked at how much I was enjoying watching Sheila move.Something stirred within me. Something like awe, wonder or admiration.Sheila was really pretty, so beautiful if only she let herself see how attractive she was.Skin like smooth alabaster. Flawless. Perfect. Crowned and adorned with a thick mass of lustrous ginger hair that shone and danced in the dim light.Her eyes...God. Her eyes were her best features. A unique mix of greenish grey that made the sun walk with pride and the ocean, sing their song.I was drawn, lost and utterly sucked into the perfor

  • All Shades of Passion   Chapter 18: Dark Corners

    Sheila's POVZuki was straddling the blonde guy's lap, her knees on either side of his thighs on the velvet booth seat. Their mouths were locked together in the kind of kiss that should have been private - deep, hungry, desperate. Her hands were in his hair, tugging hard enough that his head was tilted back. His hands were everywhere - sliding up her thighs, gripping her hips, pulling her tighter against him.But that wasn't the worst part.His zipper was undone, and I could see Zuki's hand between them, moving with purpose. She was stroking him through his boxers, her movements confident and rhythmic. The fabric was tented, and even from here, I could see the effect she was having on him.He groaned into her mouth - I could tell by the way his whole body tensed. She smiled against his lips, wicked and knowing, her hand working faster. Her hips rolled against him as she worked, and the combination was clearly driving him crazy."Fuck," he gasped, breaking the kiss to breathe. "You're
