All Shades of Passion Chapter 43: Arrested
Sheila POVMy phone rang at three in the morning.I fumbled for it in the dark, heart already racing. Nothing good ever came from calls at this hour."Hello?""Is this Sheila Callaghan?" A man's voice. Official."Yes. Who is this?""This is Officer Martinez with Las Vegas Metro Police. We have a lady by name Zuki Mason, in custody. She listed you as her emergency contact."My stomach dropped. "What happened? Is she hurt?""She's fine physically. But she's been arrested for assault and battery. We need you to come down to the station.""Assault?" I sat up, turning on the lamp. "Who did she assault?""Another club patron. She'll need to be bailed out or she'll spend the night in holding."I was already out of bed, grabbing my clothes. "Which station?"He gave me the address and I hung up, my hands shaking as I pulled on jeans and a sweater.Zuki had been arrested.For assault.At a club.I grabbed my purse and keys, and ran to the car.The drive to the police station felt like forever.

Zuki POV"Don't you fucking touch me!" I glared at him.He gave me an annoying smirk.So I shoved him hard.He stumbled back, surprised. Then his face twisted with anger."Crazy bitch.""Yeah?" I got in his face. "You want to see crazy?""Zuki, let it go," someone said. The guy from earlier. The one who'd bought me a drink."Stay out of this," I snapped.The asshole stepped closer. "You need to learn some manners.""And you need to learn to keep your hands to yourself."He reached for me again and I reacted without thinking.My fist connected with his face.Not a slap. A real punch.All the rage I felt at Sheila, at Bobby, at myself, at this whole fucked up situation went into that punch.His head snapped back and blood spurted from his nose."You broke my fucking nose!" he screamed.The people around us scattered.He lunged at me and I swung again, but this time he caught my wrist.We grappled, both of us shouting.I clawed at his face with my free hand, nails raking across his cheek
All Shades of Passion Chapter 41: Wild Nights
Zuki's POVThe bass pounded so hard I could feel it in my chest.Or maybe that was just my heart trying to break through my ribs.I didn't know anymore. Didn't care.I tilted my head back and downed another shot, the vodka burning down my throat. My fourth? Fifth? I'd lost count after the second round.The club was packed. Bodies everywhere. Sweat, perfume and smoke mixing in the air.Perfect.I needed the noise. The chaos. Anything to drown out the thoughts screaming in my head.Sheila chose Bobby.Sheila chose fucking Bobby.I pushed into the crowd on the dance floor, letting the music take over.A guy moved up behind me, hands finding my hips. I didn't look at him. Just let him grind against me while I moved to the beat.His breath was hot on my neck. "You're gorgeous."I didn't respond. Just kept dancing.His hands moved higher, sliding toward my breasts.I spun around and looked at him for the first time. Tall. Dark hair. Nice face.Completely forgettable."Buy me a drink," I sai
All Shades of Passion Chapter 40: Cold Distance
Sheila's POVFive days had passed since I told Zuki I was choosing Bobby.Five days of living with a stranger.I sat at the kitchen table with my morning coffee, watching Zuki move around the kitchen like I wasn't there.She was dressed in a tight black dress that barely covered her ass, paired with heels I'd never seen before. Her makeup was dark and dramatic. She looked like she was going to a nightclub, not eating breakfast at ten in the morning."Going somewhere?" I asked."Out." She didn't look at me as she poured herself coffee."Out where?""Just out, Sheila. Does it matter?"Her tone was flat. Polite but empty.Like talking to a customer service representative who didn't give a damn about your problem."I was thinking maybe we could do something today," I tried. "We haven't really hung out since—""I have plans." She grabbed her phone off the counter. "Maybe another time."She headed for the door."Zuki, wait."She paused but didn't turn around. "What?""Are we okay?""We're f

Zuki's POVI closed my bedroom door and leaned against it, pressing my palm flat against my chest.My heart was racing.Actually racing, like I'd just run a marathon instead of walking up a flight of stairs.I moved to the bed and sat down, trying to breathe normally.What the hell was wrong with me?Sheila had just told me about almost sleeping with Bobby. His candlelit dinner and his hands on her body.And I'd wanted to scream.Actually scream. Throw something. Break something.The jealousy had hit me so hard I could barely breathe.I pressed my hands to my face, trying to calm down.This didn't make sense.This was supposed to be fun. Light. Playful.Sheila was my cousin. My actual blood cousin.We'd fooled around a bit. Explored some things. But it wasn't serious. It couldn't be serious.So why did hearing about Bobby touching her make me want to punch a wall?Why did the image of his hands sliding under her dress make my stomach twist with something dark and possessive?She wasn'
All Shades of Passion Chapter 38: Masked Feelings
Sheila's POVI walked into the house still shaking from what had just happened at Bobby's place.The living room lights were on. The TV was playing some reality show.And Zuki was sprawled on the couch in tiny shorts and a tank top, eating potato chips.She looked up when I came in, her face lighting up."Finally," she said. "I've been bored out of my mind. Where have you been?"I dropped my purse on the side table and tried to steady my breathing."I went to Bobby's place," I said.The change in her expression was instant. Her smile didn't exactly fade, but something shifted in her eyes."Oh?" She sat up straighter. "What for?"I walked over and sank onto the other end of the couch, suddenly exhausted."He texted me at work," I said. "Asked me to come over. Said he needed help with something.""Code stuff?" she asked, her voice carefully neutral."That's what I thought." I laughed, but it came out shaky. "Turns out it wasn't code stuff at all."Zuki set her bowl of chips down slowly.
