Shield Me Fight or Flight
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
Shield Me Yes and Yes
Author's POV One benefit to living in a massive house was that you had an opportunity to retreat to the quietest and most secured places...so they did. Reece and Valiant walked silently to an upper deck, her trailing behind him because he didn't want to scare her so it was better to be out front. Once they perched, they both took to sitting in the hanging hammocks that were available. The cooling Sedona evening was warm enough to not need the fire pit or blankets. The gleaming red rocks of the Shnebly Hill formation provided the stunning visual for tonight's hard conversation. "Val?" Reece started, his voice deep, low and very remorseful. She recognized it. He hoped she'd respond favorably. "Yes Reecey." Her voice sharp, still yet loving. He smiled. She drove him insane because she knew how to comfort him whenever he showed vulnerability. "I love you with all that I am. I'm sorry for how I treated you earlier. I just need to explain and hope that you'd forgive me." The silenc

Shield Me Yes and Yes, Part 3
Author's POV--continuation from last two chapters "Th-thank you for answering the questions. I'm sorry about last night. Leaving you on the dance floor. I'm overwhelmed Reece. Even moreso because of my mom." She was now scared to look at him and respond, he made her nervous. Titlting her chin to him he looked her in the eye. "I got too anxious and impatient. The way I want you still take me by surprise. I put too much pressure on you." From the burn in his eyes he was about to give her an incentive to choose him. "If you want to get some relief from all the pressure, you're already here with me. I could use some relief too." He was wiping tears from her eyes and undressing her with his hazel ones, the green overpowering the light brown. "Let me ask you something. Why did you let me have you? Why choose me when you're already with someone who is doing so much for you?" Her breathing was cut in half as she considered how to answer. She reluctantly released the breath she was hold
Shield Me Never Let Me Go
Reece's POV My head hurt from thinking about all the shit Val went through that night and what she'd traverse from that point. I looked at the future Mrs. Shields and I smiled at her while she looked like she would ring my neck. "Damn baby, I'm glad I was able to get you back. All the hoops we had to go through, it's no wonder that we didn't join the circus." "Yeah, I know, Reecey, it's too much time that we've wasted, and it just goes to show that we're not immune from junk circumstances that can weigh us down." "That's what I'm saying baby, don't worry about the other ring for now. It's in safe keeping, Papa is holding on to it." "This ring is also tracker modified. It doesn't have to be rotated or anything. The sensor will determine a predetermined set of factors such as sustained levels of stress, heart rate, temperature and water depth, temperature, and how long you've been in the water." "Really Reece? Can't I just have a normal ring?" She slapped my hand as I was runnin
Shield Me Unknown
Reece's POV Valiant and I went a few more rounds. We enjoyed each other so much that when we finally finished, the sun was blending the colors in the sky. My woman was tucked into my arm, her head on my chest and her hair in my face. I was hopeless for such a long time waiting to get her back just like she is now, and I almost ruined it. I loved to watch her and listen to her rhythm of soft shallow and deep breaths as she rested. My free hand wrote out 'I love you' as an invisible tattoo on her forearm. Still a bit of shock rolled through me that she forgave me so easily, and she meant it. The fact of the matter is that I now have a fiancee. The ring on her finger was a beauty. It shone brightly as it complimented her skintone and slender fingers. There wasn't a motherfucker who could tell me anything. I was on top of the world. I smiled to myself in silent triumph when I heard an unfamiliar vibration. I took up my phone but I had no missed calls or messages. The heaviness of
Shield Me Real Estate

Now, you take care of yourself so that you can go do greater things." "I sure will and hopefully, we'll see you for dinner soon?" He pecked her cheek and left out of the door with her in tow. Todd and Gerald were sitting in the waiting room watching some videos that Reece, Papa and Angelo had sent of a new property Reece wanted to acquire. Caleb was gone again, he was set to go off to school to become an officer and he wanted to see his family and girlfriend before he boarded his plane. Dylan hadn't been coming around much after the engagement was announced he mostly avoided his cousin and future cousin for obvious reasons. He liked Valiant.

Shield Me Freed Man's Mission
Roman's POV "She's fine man! Exotic with her big curly hair and deep brown almost eyes. Bro, her lips and the way she speaks....I almost came on myself when I saw the way those jeans hugged her." "I'm telling you, she is what dreams are made of but the men that surround her are nightmares. I'm not afraid to throw hands but c'mon let's be reasonable, you can't expect me to keep going around them." The phone was silent. "Think less with your dick, and do your fucking job. I am not your bro. I'll be there in soon." Click. Roman sat with his head in his hands while his driver drove him. His domestic bank accounts had been emptied and there were notifications of attempted access of his off-shores. All of his other assets, investments and retirement funds frozen. He had funds and resources hidden in all kinds of places and his people always come through for him. He was linked with some of the biggest political figures a
