"Oh" Sicily grinned sheepishly. I could tell she seemed a bit disappointed that he had found out so I figured she was trying to stay away from him. At her petition, Drew let Sicily down and we helped her to her feet. "Are you OK sweetie?" I asked her "I'm fine" Sicily said, nodding profusely at Drew, hoping he'd get the hint and go back to the agency. "Alright, be careful Sicily" Drew said He leaned in to kiss her but she moved back, clearly annoyed, and ducked behind me. Drew threw up his hands in defense, "Alright I get it, I'm leaving". He sighed and sprinted off into the night Beep bop

Unspoken Bonds Chapter 1 1

Lorah's POV

It's been two whole weeks since the explosion at the abandoned airplane.

Two weeks since Sicily has been unconscious.

Drew and I have barely left her side the entire time. It's strange, considering I don't even like the guy.

"So, how long have you known Sicily?" I asked, figuring we might as well talk since we're both stuck in the same room, waiting for any sign that she's waking up.

He looked up at me, surprised. "Oh, uh, we've known each other our whole lives, actually. Me and two other guys, Eric and Peter, have been her big brother figures since we were all under a year old."

"Oh." His response caught me off guard. I didn't like the dude at first, but he's been looking out for Sicily all these years, doing the job I couldn't. It's not my fault I didn't know about her for 18 years, but I still feel indebted to Drew somehow.

"Wow, thank you so much for being there for her all her life," I said, walking over to shake his hand.

He smiled, glancing at Sicily fondly. "Well, I was her brother figure. I even thought I might be her real brother since I don't know who my real parents are either." He hesitated, looking a bit nervous. "Please don't knock me out for admitting this, but I've started developing feelings for her since finding out we aren't related."

"I know," I grinned, "You seemed a bit head over heels at the agency meeting."

"You're not mad at me?" He asked, visibly relaxing.

"No, I'm not, Drew. Technically, you were in her life first. I'm indebted to you, and if letting you go for my sister is a way to repay you, I'll do it."

"Thanks, man," he said, smiling brightly.

Suddenly, Sicily began to stir. Drew and I jumped from our seats, moving to either side of her.

"Sis, are you awake?" I asked, bending over her. She squirmed again.

"Drew, go get the doctor!"

"Wait! I want to try something!" Drew leaned down and kissed her.

"Whaaa?!" Sicily's eyes flew open.

"Heyyy," he grinned, and I high-fived him.

"Sicily, you're okay!" I said, helping her sit up and hugging her. Drew hugged her too, making her blush and turn away.

"How do you feel?" Drew asked gently.

"I... feel fine. Lorah, how long have I been out?"

"Two weeks! Mom and Dad were so worried. Everyone panicked when you didn't wake up. I've got to call them and let them know you're awake! Drew, watch Sicily!" I said, pulling my phone out of my pocket as I ran out of the room.

Sicily's POV

I'm... awake?! Was I asleep? I don't remember much. One moment, I was jumping out of an exploding airplane, and the next, I'm lying in a hospital bed being kissed by Drew.

God, I feel so embarrassed! I can't even look at him.

I'm starting to get annoyed at my otherwise amazing twin brother for leaving me alone with Drew. Doesn't he realize how insanely awkward this is?!

I'm sitting in a reclined position, staring at the door on the far left as Drew watches me from my right side.

"Sicily?" he called softly.

I didn't respond.

"Sicily, I'm sorry. Kissing you was a bold move, and though I don't regret it, I really didn't mean to make you mad at me." He paused, waiting for me to say something. When I didn't, he continued, "I love you, and I just wanted to see if I could wake you up that way."

I immediately turned and stared at him in shock.

"Yeah, I'm definitely still in whatever coma or dreamland I was just in," I said incredulously, lying back down.

"You're not dreaming Sicily"

"That's what the Drew in my dreams would say"

Omg I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!! I groaned and pulled at my hair.

"Haha you dream about me?" Drew laughed

"No....I didn't mean.... Ugh" I sat up and yelled for Lorah. "Lorah get back here and make Drew leave!!"

"Sicily calm down I'm sorry" Drew said, "Do you really want me to leave?"

I looked back at him and noticed how worried and sad he looked "Before I answer that.." I replied, "Did you really mean what you said a second ago?"

Drew rose from his chair and sat on the bed next to me, looking into my eyes, "I meant every word" he said slowly.

"Drew...." Tears started falling as I stared at him, a smile coming over my Face.

"Sicily!!!!!"

"Oh honey thank goodness"

Drew and I turned to the door in surprise.

I was upset that my moment with Drew was being interrupted and I didn't really feel like seeing my parents right then Thankfully only Drew came in, holding a tablet with my Parents on a video call.

"At least I can turn them off when I get too uncomfortable" I thought

Lorah, yes I'm calling him Lorah.

Anyways, lorah gave me the tablet and then he and Drew sat on either side of me as I talked to my parents.

My hands tensed as I gripped the tablet and my heart raced. Aware of my discomfort, Drew and lorah put their arms around me. "You got this" Drew whispered into my ear

I tilted the face of the camera away as I smiled at Drew, just in case my

Dad was one of those protective ones who can't stand their daughters talking to boys.

"Uh Hi Mom and Dad! How come you aren't here in person? Not that I mind of course! I definitely prefer the video call, but why?"

"I'm sorry sweetie, but Ten put us on a mission right when we got the news that you were unconscious. He wanted to keep us from worrying ourselves into a panic.

It's not really working so I really hope I don't knock out a certain commander when I get back."

"If you don't I will" Mom said, clenching her fists"

I tried not to smile for I had had every intention of hating my parents for all eternity Nevertheless a small smile crept through my determined face.

"So how do you feel sweetie?"

"I feel fine! Just a little dazed that's all"

"See honey I told you she'd be fine!" My Dad, Agent Dakota remarked.

"Sweetie I saw your picture on the wall! One of a highest ranking agents in the Opposition, we're so proud!!"

"Thanks"

"She takes after me, I was always a prodigy in agent academy!" Mom bragged "Not even! I was called 'expert sniper' when I was eight!" Dad said, "Now Sicily's an expert sniper so she clearly got it from me!" "Well then Lorah got his infiltration skills from me! I infiltrated the most dangerous enemy base of our time and scored thousands of resources for our side when I was six!

That's technically when I was promoted to second in command but they had to hold off on the promotion because I was ten years too young!"

Mom laughed, "Lorah is the top infiltrator in the 0-40 age group and Sicily got promoted so they both got my genes!!"

I giggled in the background.

I was actually enSicilying a normal conversation with them. It finally came over me how much I wanted parents. How much I hated that they were "dead". How much I wanted a bond with the people who had me!!

"So you two seem like you're bonding!" Mom suddenly said

I looked from one boy to the other not sure who she meant until Lorah responded, "Yeah. Feels great to have a twin sister" He gave me a side hug, "I honestly feel complete"

"We're so glad. We can barely believe she's been here this whole time. Lucky we found out right when our agencies came together!" Suddenly my twin's expression changed. He scowled at my Mom and Dad and ended the call.

"Lorah what's wrong?" "You don't get it do you Sicily?"

"Get what?"

"Mom and Dad! They found out you were even alive on the day our agencies joined. If they found out before then, they never would have told me or tried to get in contact with you!"

"But they did!" I said, "Mom and Dad found out I could potentially be their lost daughter a few weeks ago.

I stopped at their base during a mission and Dad guessed who I was and told Mom. He believed I was Sicily but Mom didn't....."

"What?!?!? Then if Dad knew, what did he do about it?"

"Kissed me and called me his baby girl"

"Yeah......but he never told me so that proves my point." Lorah sighed as

I looked down sadly. After a moment he looked back at me and said, "Sicily. I know you've always wanted parents, but these ones you got are no good. You and I can take care of ourselves so please don't show them any sort of affection. They don't deserve it."

Lorah shook his head again and went to put the tablet away. Drew patted my shoulder as I sighed...

I just got my parents back, and now this?

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.7

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

Reborn Heiress: The Wolf's Vengeance Deal

Sibeal Sallese

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
