“I expect that you will. In the meantime, you’ll pardon me if I decline any further hospitality extended by the Grand Tropican.”
The end of Dante’s sentence became more muffled. They must have moved away from the vent. More confused than ever, I sat back down, hunching my body into a ball as I curled against the door.
All I wanted was to have one night in Dante Calegari’s bed. To finally find out what it would feel like to be in his arms, to make love with him. To feel his body push into mine, pinning me against the bed while his hot mouth ran over my skin.
Dante took me on a fairytale vacation, but it seemed like it was all about to end, now that there were three men who had met their deaths at Dante’s hands.
Perhaps, the man who had run into me last night was correct. He warned me to stay away from Dante. Maybe, Dante Calegari wasn’t really the man I had hoped he was.
Something inside me calmed down. It made no sense, and I couldn’t explain it, but I knew I lied to myself. There had always been something different about Dante. Something dark and mysterious that drew me to him. I’ve known it for years. I knew it when I offered him my virginity. My inner voice told me years ago that Dante was no more a stockbroker than I was.
That same voice also echoed what my heart wanted to say - that I didn’t care. He saved my life. Because of him, none of those men had been able to hurt me. Surely, that meant that somewhere in his heart, Dante was a good man, wasn’t he?
