SHILO IS OUT!

Shilo
By
Jaden Sinclair

He was nothing more than a backup for the company; only the company underestimated their program. Shilo is free to make his own choices but has one glitch in his programming: very few emotions. He's ruthless, cunning, strong, and doesn't give a damn who he has to go through in order to get what he wants, and what he wants is Star Murray.





She was tossing and turning in her bed, feeling guilty
about refusing to upload the chip raked at Star until she was
about to scream. She was ready to give up and go down to
work when she started to feel as if she was no longer alone.
As usual, she was dressed in her long button down shirt
that reached her knees with the sleeves rolled up, but no
shorts since she was in bed. Slowly Star looked over her
shoulder and what she saw standing in the corner of her
room was the one thing Star was so not ready to face. She
flung the blankets off her legs and bolted out of the bed so
fast that a small sense of hope hit her.
She made it around the corner before large, strong
hands grabbed and slammed her up against the wall. Her
heart pounded, fear had her hands coming up defensively,
and her eyes were wide open as hands smacked the wall on
either side of her head. She was so short that her head
barely came up to the middle of a very muscular chest.
Ever so slowly, as she worked to calm her breathing,
Star moved her eyes up that bare chest to a thick neck,
strong looking jaw. Higher still, her eyes went to full lips
that were slightly parted in a grin, straight nose and higher
to sparkling greenish-blue eyes that held a lot of humor and
brownish-blonde hair touching bare shoulders.
“Oh, shit,” she breathed out in a whisper.
“Hello, Princess.” He smiled, his even white teeth
bright against the tan of his face.
“Jesus!” she hissed. “How the hell did you get…get…”
she stuttered, not able to find to words she needed.
“Out?” he cocked his head, bending at the knees so he
was face to face with her. “Let’s just say you’re not the only
computer genius around.” He leaned real close to her ear,
lowering his voice. “Are you scared?”
Star turned her head away from him, which was a bad
move. His lips brushed her throat and moved down to her
shoulder. She grabbed his wrist with both hands when she
felt a tug at the top button of her long shirt. Star sucked her
breath in at the feel of his kiss on her bare shoulder and her
eyes started to roll into the back of her head at the pleasure.
She couldn’t believe this! He was seducing her!
“Stop,” she breathed out.
“I have a promise to fulfill,” he said, his voice lowering,
deepening. “Do you remember what I said what would
happen once I got my hands on you?” Another button
slipped free. “You ready for it? Because I am.”
Star reacted, didn’t think. Her knee came up so fast and
so hard, it caught both her and him off guard. She made
contact, hitting him between the legs, dropping him to the
ground.
“Does that look like I’m scared, you prick?” Star yelled
at him, pushing him away and then she ran. Alyna and Seth
came running and Star plowed into Seth. He caught her
before she could fall to the cold floor. “He...he...he,” she
stuttered.
“What’s wrong?” Alyna demanded, closing her robe
and looking at Star as if she’d lost her mind.
Held in Seth’s arms, Star looked over her shoulder and
pointed behind her. “Back there,” she managed to get with
much difficulty. “He’s...he’s...oh shit!”
Star struggled out of Seth’s arms to move behind him,
using him as a shield. She backed up as Shilo limped out of
the shadows, holding his groin. Seth pulled away from her
and Star watched, speechless, as the two men embraced
tightly, and she heard Seth call him Shilo.
“Did you kick him?” Alyna whispered.
“Yeah,” Star answered. She was about to say something
else when a strobe light went off. “Shit!” she hissed,
rushing to her computers and bringing up the security
cameras. “Shit, shit, shit!”
“What’s wrong?” Alyna asked.
“We’ve got company,” Star answered. She pushed away
from the computer and ran to her room. She grabbed some
jeans, put them on, and was working on her shoes when
Alyna rushed in.
“What’re you doing?” Alyna asked.
“What does it look like?” Star snapped back. “I’m
getting the hell out of here. You want to stay with those
two, be my guest.”
“I need some clothes for him,” Seth said, coming up
behind Alyna so quietly that Star jumped.
She opened her mouth to tell him that Saker had left a
bag when all of the strobe lights went off, lighting the place
up like a dance floor. Power went off, encasing them all in
darkness before the backup generator kicked in.
“They’re inside,” Star whispered, looking up at the
ceiling.
“Seth!” Shilo yelled, snapping them all out of the
stunned silenced. Star followed everyone out and over to
the cooler. Shilo had a pair of jeans on and the hidden door
popped open. “The girls can get out through there.”
“Where’s it go?” Seth asked Star.
“Um, woods.” She slung the backpack over her
shoulder.
Seth cocked one of the handguns, and handed it to
Alyna. “Get out, pick up the truck and we’ll met up with
you on the road.” Alyna nodded and took the gun. “Take
Star with you.”
An explosion hit, knocking everyone to the ground. Star
screamed when she went down, then gasped when hands
grabbed her around the waist, and shoved her against a wall.
Shilo covered her body with his own while parts of her
computers went flying everywhere. She covered her ears as
he reared up and shot off his gun. Peering around him, Star
saw several men rushing toward them. She twisted out from
under him, kicked the door open and while bullets flew,
ricocheting off equipment around her, she crawled out and
away from the shit that was coming down on her home.
