I don’t mind walking barefoot.” Scarlett sighed in alleviation, but when she gazed at Kaleb’s face, she swore he saw a hint of dismay. “Scarlett,” said Kaleb. “Yes?” She answered before biting her lip. “You don’t have any shoes. We have safety and health protocols here at the hotel that everyone must strictly follow, even if my family owns the hotel chain,” Kaleb revealed, his voice deep. “You cannot… walk barefoot.” “Oh, sorry.” And just like that, Scarlett reluctantly climbed up to Kaleb’s arms, surrendering to the idea of being carried all the way up to the fortieth floor of the hotel building.

Say something, she ordered her mouth, to get her mind away from that topic. “I’m not real fond of shoes either. When I’m home, I kick them off the second I walk

I could only imagine what the bottom of my feet looked like now that I was running bare-footed on sharp rocks and pine needles. “She better be,” Nathan boomed from behind me before I would answer. Nathan wore his normal gray sweats I had seen many times before, but I couldn't tear my eyes from his bare chest. His perfectly sculpted muscles made my heart flutter in anticipation, despite our current circumstances. I looked closer when my eyes rested on a dark patch on the left of his stomach. As he came closer, I noticed two small puncture wounds at the top of the steady blood flow coming from his left abdomen.

Sophia knew that this ensemble struck the right balance between casual and put-together, allowing her to feel confident while being actively involved in the day's activities. Stepping into a pair of sleek sneakers, Sophia admired her reflection in the mirror. The choice of footwear was deliberate, as she wanted to ensure she could keep up with the energetic children without the hindrance of heels. Her sneakers offered both style and functionality, providing the necessary support for her feet as she navigated the various sports and games planned for the day.

I paid off every debt, cut off every way to reach me, and spent the last of my money on a train ticket heading to the south. I was living life rough and just barely scraping by. However, as my legs never got proper treatment, the damage to them became permanent. The pain would drive me insane almost every day. But, as enough time passed, I became numb to it…

He called, softly. "Boss?" She answered. "To his left side, quick" He commanded. Lia bowed before running to the side of where he bent, busily growing beautiful flowers with his powers. The shoes they wore was hard and upon though, made no sound at all while they run. That was one of the important wears they relied on. Shoes that made sounds while running was a stupid and useless tool for their jobs. They used boots or shoes which made no sounds at all, despite any harsh running or sprinting and they called it “The Soundless Shoes/Boots”.

"No. Hence why I want to be barefoot." "Like hell you're walking barefoot." Sam countered gasping from my idea. "We don't know what kind of terrain is there."

“They will be at least six inches, I will choose the style and color, and you will have to walk from one end of the town to the other. It will help your sense of balance and I will make sure to collect your shoe size from Alpha Ethan at the end of day.” Watching the color drain from their faces was the best thing I had seen in a long time.
