Lahat ng Kabanata ng Shield Me: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Author's POV The two of them stood looking at each other in shock. Not expecting to have to met like this. Again, her needing his help. The stare down was intense and neither one of them seemed to have known what to do. It'd been far too long that they'd hugged or kissed but they loved and desired each other all the same as the first time they acknowledged their true feelings. Valiant's eyes went watery and trails of tears raced down her cheeks, stinging the tracks of scratches and hung dangerously on her chin threatening to stain anything on the fall down. Reece's jaws tensed as he took in her bruised and battered state. "Baby. I'm sorry." His words were trapped and barely emitted from his throat as he went down to his knees. He held his hands out to her. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you, I'm sorry I spent all these months being upset with you. I'm sorry I kept the worse secrets. Please come to me." Val sobbed in silence as she looked at her brave prince. She'd seen him down l

Reece's POV I listened to her recant the story of how I stole her boyfriend's thunder and her heart for the thousandth time. Never in my life have I stolen anything. I nestled my nose up against her. "Baby?" I asked. I wanted to keep reminiscing and hopefully she'd let me fūck her. "Umm hmm" She whimpered in my ear. "Do you remember our first time together?" Her gasp told me she did and that more than her mind had gone back to that night. Her whole body shivered with memory. "Yeah, I remember. You whisked me away to the big city in your fancy car and begged me to cheat on my boyfriend with you. Very romantic." "I never told you my secret though" She struggled to push me away so that she could look me in my face. "What secret Reece?" Shịt time for me to explain my misdeeds. *Reece's Flashback POV* >Reece: My buddy! How are you today? Did you get the envelope?>Me: How art thee great noble one? *I can imagine him laughing.*>Me: Hi Reecey! Oh man it's been a day! I did get t

Valiant's POV I couldn't believe what the love of my life just said to me. I was horrified and mad as hell! All this time, I thought Malcolm had run off on a druggie high and got locked up in another county. I was probably more horrified that the land we were on had his blood on it. Clearly, he hadn't thought this out when executing his plan, that one day me and his kids would come here. "Reece, you didn't. Please tell me you didn't." I watched him slowly ease off of me probably trying not to scare me more than I was. The pain searing my side had begin to decrease and was barely noticeable unless taking a quick deep breath, coughing, sneezing or escaping a sexy killer. "I know how it sounds and I can explain my thought process. First, first...let me tell you that I love you." His hands were extended toward me but palms down like he was shushing me. He looked crazy scared. I could have laughed if I weren't mortified. "Second, my son, our son...I love him too. And your cousin wa

Valiant's POV I must be living a huge nightmare because what I experienced hours ago left me void of understanding. Somehow, I'm here in another room in this massive place its a screaming headache and without my son or my man. What the f...? I recounted the last events and decide that I am over this with Reece. I love him but I can't love him like this. He was my prince charming, gentlemanly and light yet sexy and dark. That shit just doesn't go together. I could blame it on immaturity or on entitlement, his behaviors, but I didn't know I needed any of this to see how far he'd go overboard. As soon as I could, I'd leave and take my son with me. As much as I hated that, knowing it'd hurt not just him but also his parents, it was for the best. I sat up on the perfectly firm mattress and stretched delicately as to not cause myself any more rib pain. Crying had done enough. I clicked the lamp on the bedside table and got to my feet. I found the bathroom did my business, washed my ha

Author's POV---cont from last chapterBy the end of the club event, Valiant was met with her arch nemesis Roman and Lettie together. Ro wanted to talk to Val and he did get a chance to when it was interrupted by a very drunk someone. Lettie was a persistent bitch and made it hard for everyone, especially when she drank.
