“You were too focused on kidnapping me. Is that it?”

He leans in closer and it makes me breathless. “Exactly. Now, let’s go.” He leads me out of the bedroom and into a large dining room. Five people are there. Four men and one woman. Exactly as he said.

“Everyone, this is Sienna,” Dante announces.

It’s not just the men who look me over with hungry eyes. The woman does too. I never knew a woman could look so hungry in a dark way. It’s intimidating.

The woman is tall and thin with a regal look to her. The four men blend together into a blob, even though they do technically look different. One is really short. One has a large belly. One has a bad comb over. One is handsome like Dante – young and tall and broad shouldered.

“She is something,” the man with the comb over says.

“Yes. She is. Sienna, this is Enzo,” he says to the comb over one. “And that’s Tommaso.” The short one. “Edward.” The large belly one. “And that’s Jack.” The handsome one. “And that’s Guilia.”

“Pleasure to meet you,” Guilia coos. “I’m curious to meet the woman that Dante has been captivated by for the past couple of days.”

How ironic considering I’m his captive but I keep that thought to myself.

“Does she speak?” Edward asks in a gruff voice.

“She does speak. I think she’s just shy. Why don’t we sit down for dinner?” Dante motions for everyone to take their places at the table. I follow him since I don’t know where to go.

Dante has me sit in the seat to his left, across from Guilia. Jack is on my other side. The handsome one. I sneak glances at him. A man like him looks more like a fairytale prince than an actual human. It makes me blush.

I can feel Dante looking at me but I keep my eyes on the table. Jack is a friend of Dante. Just because he’s handsome, doesn’t mean he’s here to save me. Dante is handsome and look at what he’s done to me.

I zone out the conversation. Dante and his friends discuss business and politics. Things that seem so trivial in this moment.

That is until I hear them mention Gabriel’s name.

“What are you going to do about him?” Tommaso asks, wiping his mouth with a napkin. The steak before each of us is red and bloody. I’ve only taken two bites. I can’t stomach more.

“If Gabriel tries to kill me, I’ll kill him. But I would prefer him to be alive. It’s more fun this way. Torturing him. Letting him know that he can’t win with me. That I have more power than he would like to admit.”

“I’m sure it’s eating him up inside,” Enzo comments. “He always looked like he had a stick up his ass. I want to pull it out of him and make him lick it just for fun.” That gets a laugh from everyone at the table. Well, except for me.

That draws more attention my way.

“She’s a quiet one,” Guilia murmurs.

Dante runs his finger down my arm. I don’t even realize I’m leaning more into his touch. It just… happens. “She can be. But trust me, she knows how to moan too. When I’ve made her come.”

“You’ve touched her?” Jack asks.

“Are you surprised by that?”

“No. You’ve fucked plenty of woman. I just wasn’t sure.”

“I haven’t actually touched her yet. I just use my toys on her. She likes it.”

Guilia eyes me over in a way that’s dissecting. “I’m sure she does. What have you used?”

“A vibrator and dildo. Sienna is a virgin. She bled when I put the dildo in her.”

“But she’s never had an actual cock in her?” Edward asks, chuckling as steak juice runs down his chin.

“No,” Dante says flatly. “And when it happens, it will be me. But we’re waiting. It’s more exciting this way. Sienna will tell me when she’s ready.”

“A virgin being fucked by a dildo,” Jack says, letting out a whistle. “That’s something I’d be interested in seeing.”
