CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR: FOR HER
POV KALE
I wish I could say I was surprised to see Shane at Raine’s home. I wasn’t. His current job description was “Shadow” and he was very good at it. Most times I saw her, he was not far behind. What did surprise me was the fact that he answered all on his own.
When Raine stepped outside of her gorgeous home, the irritated look on her face told me she had not given him permission to answer her buzzer.
I half expected her to scare me away, or at least try to, but when I walked up to her, she stepped to the side, and I knew that was her way of inviting me in.
Shane tried to act all smug. His grin gave it away. I wouldn’t let him get to me. After all, I wasn’t here for him, I was here for her.

RAINE’S POVSo, maybe I felt worse than I let on. Though my stomach seemed to be settled, there was an annoying pain in my head, and my legs ached as if I had been speed walking all day. Not only that, but I found myself suffering from these unwanted hot flashes. When I awoke, I thought I’d feel refreshed, but that wasn’t the case at all. My body felt heavy and sweaty. The two men that I seemed to be caught in between were also unexpectedly at my side.Yes, they said that they would stay, but I honestly figured it would be too much for one or both of them, and they would leave. I guess I wasn’t so lucky.I didn’t eat much, just a few spoonfuls to bring my taste buds back to life. It was hard to stay focused on my meal with Kale standing over me. If this was his idea of keeping a watchful eye on me, it was really unsettling. I go to put the lid back on the clear round container, just before clearing my throat to speak. “How was the rest of your brunch with Mr. Davis? I’m sorry to hav
RAINE CHAPTER SIXTY SIX: AN UNDERSTANDING
RAINE POV I don’t know how this happened? The television shines bright as the rest of the house sits in darkness. I am bundled up under the comforter from my bed, sitting right in between Kale and Shane. There is some dramatic movie playing. SOmething with lots of action, something I didn’t care to know the name of. Shane had suggested it. He already had the movie set and ready to go before I could say anything. I sat down, and Kale followed behind me. There are no words to say what has come over me.I continue to blame it on whatever sickness I was experiencing at this moment, but it was a lie. It was true that I wanted some comfort, I just wasn’t sure from who. I even thought, if I chose someone to stay, and someone to go, how would that change everything? How could I explain that? Did it mean that I liked one more than the other? My eyes drifted over to Kale, who was posted up on the arm of the chair, eyes looking a little droopy. He was either as tired as hell, or just as dist
RAINE CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN: TWO MEN AND A WOMAN
I feel the sunlight hitting my face, warming my skin. The blanket which first kept me warm while I had a fever now felt suffocating. I struggle to free my body from its thickness. Immediately, I felt lighter. I use my index fingers to rub the corner of my eyes before slowly batting them awake. I fill my lungs with air, before I slowly sit up, hearing the soft whispers of voices. The cushions of the couch hold me in place as I turn my head towards the kitchen, where two men move about in the kitchen as if already familiar with it. I crack my neck, before getting on to my feet, already aware that the body aches I felt seemed to have melted away in the night. Though I can’t exactly hear their words, I could tell there was no reason for me to feel alarmed at the fact that they seemed quite chummy with each other. I looked away from them, as I found myself shuffling towards the large windows bringing light into the room. I stared out the glass, seeing the sun was working its way up to its
RAINE CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT: RETURN OF POWER
RAINE’S POVDo you know what it’s like to feel like a powerhouse? I do. When confidence radiates from your body and when you look as good as I do, eyes sort of lock in on you the moment you enter the room. It’s something I’m used to feeling, but this afternoon, when I walked onto the main floor, something was different. Their eyes weren’t just on me, but they were on the men to both sides of me. We still arrived later than what I intended because Kale had his driver stop by a random shop to get himself a new suit. Like me, he wouldn’t be caught wearing the same outfit he did the same before. He even got Shane one, wanting to prevent any unnecessary rumors. I could tell Shane’s initial thought was to decline his offer, but in the end, he agreed to take the suit. I was sure to tell him to refrain from looking at the price, knowing he’d go into shock. Kale had expensive taste, any person with money could see that. They both went with something dark and tie less. They were both handsom
RAINE CHAPTER SIXTY NINE: FAMILIAR
RAINE’S POVMaybe it was good that I got sick. I am always living life on the fast lane. Always busy with work, or with one of my playthings… Rest didn’t come easy, and I hardly welcomed it. To me rest was a thirty minute swim, multiple glasses of wine before bed, and my regular five to six hours of sleep. In the last 72 hours I have gotten more sleep than I’ve had in months. Looking at myself now as I prepare for a hopefully successful Saturday night, I look rejuvenated. My dark skin looks to be glowing all on its own. A natural beauty is what I will be tonight. I put a little highlight underneath my eyes and on my nose. I use my index finger to lightly pat a rich lipstick the color of mocha to my lips. I pop my lips a few times, making sure every area is properly and evenly covered. “You are one beautiful…” Beautiful? Because you’re beautiful. Ah god, Why am I remembering his words? I close my eyes and inhale, and for some reason, I feel… butterflies? I am confused. Everyone t
RAINE CHAPTER SEVENTY: FANTASY
God, why do I have to be such a hoe? I mean, honestly, I’m not a hoe, I just have fun. But why did I have to have fun with these three, and now find myself sitting with them around a fire pit, drinking cold brews at this overly large house at the edge of the city, filled with people ready to make some very questionable mistakes? The dark green cushions of the patio set are very comfortable. I sit on a long chair, Alyssa beside me. I can tell she is in her element here, as she has her shoes off, tucking her feet and legs underneath her behind. She stares me directly in the face as we talk more about her photo shoots. I engage with her, laughing and joking, attempting to block out my current stalkers. We’ve been here for less than an hour, but they haven’t dared to say anything. They just watch in silence. I felt uncomfortable. I couldn’t imagine what Alyssa was feeling. “So, what’s the deal with these guys?” She asks in hushed tones, scooting a few inches closer to me. She brings he
RAINE CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE: DANGEROUS
Shane is more of a romantic. He’s the type to bring dinner, to give body rubs, and enjoys intense conversation. A young man new to the world of sex, but has a devilish tongue like he's been studying the depths of the vagina all his life. Kale is more experienced, and lives more on the dirty side. Down to fuck whereever. He makes it quick, rough, and enjoyable. The man in the suit who comes undone around me. He wants to own me, like he owns all of his properties. They want me to be theirs, and only theirs. A dangerous idea has been placed in my head. A fantasy growing by the minutes. Two men, opposite of each other. MINE. How fucking hot is that. I walked down the hill of a dark paved street in the middle of the night. Besides the party people I left behind, there didn’t seem to be another soul awake. It was quiet.I planned to make it down to the main street and call for a cab. A short five minute walk and the coolness of the midnight air was sure to cool me off, and process
RAINE CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO: SHOW AND TELL
Kale has my right hand in his. He leads me down the hallway to the master bedroom. I take in his back muscles, loving the way they look in his button up shirt. Our steps are small, and it seems like it's taking us forever to reach the door. My heart is beating out of my chest, my throat is dry, and I can’t find the words to say anything. I look over my shoulder. Shane is following behind us. His eyes lock on to me as he begins to fidget with the top buttons of his shirt, slowly loosening them. The fabric separates, slowly revealing his chest. Are my eyes bulging out, because they feel like they are. It’s not in fear, but in anticipation. Is this really happening, or is this a type of revenge, maybe humiliation? What truly is going to happen behind these doors? We stop at the end of the king sized bed. I allow them to step closer to me. Kale is in front, while Shane stays behind. Shane is the first to reach out and truly tough me. His fingers found my wrists, gliding up my arm, over
