Liliana
Although last night had been incredible, I kept asking myselfwhyI’d given in.
Why had I been so weak in the face of pleasure?
Why didn’t I loathe my lack of self-control?
I was frustrated with myself, but I didn’t regret any of it.
I got ready for the day, but my thoughts were completely consumed by Matteo. I didn’t know if I fully understood what I agreed to…this coercive deal.
He’d said I could leave, a part of me knew he wouldn’t have just stepped aside. I’d seen that possession in his eyes, that fire burning in the dark depths that had taken my breath away.
He wasn’t the prince who would save the day.
He was the devil giving me the deal of a lifetime.
I was selfish, wanting to explore these darker needs and desires that confused me but made me feel more alive than I’d ever felt.
Isn’t that why people did dangerous feats? Life-threatening acts? They wanted to feel that rush to know they were alive.
And being with Matteo was certainly like walking over hot coals. I knew the likelihood of me being burned was inevitable, but I still wanted to see if I won at the end.
When I opened the bedroom door, I assumed the guard would be in place, but I was alone. I didn’t even see any staff walking the halls.
Of course, he isn’t going to need you on lock and key now. You agreed to be his whore.
A shiver moved through me at that thought, and it was one that was wholly pleasurable.
I wasn’t truly alone. There were cameras and probably guards stationed at all access points.
I headed down the hallway in a thick pair of socks, took the stairs, and when I reached the landing, I heard the clinking of pots and pans in the kitchen.
It was early enough that I knew breakfast would be served at any moment.
The very thought of Matteo sitting at the end of the table in the dining room made my heart beat a little faster.
In excitement? In anticipation? God…in arousal?
Yes to all of that.
I entered the dining room but was instantly disappointed to see the table was only set for one.
Me.
A hollowness in the pit of my stomach rose, and I placed my hand on my belly, hating myself for feeling anything but relief that I would have some distance from him.
But all I could think about was how he fucked me last night and took my virginity.
The smeared blood on the sheets. His cum drying next to it.
I started to sweat.
For the next half hour, I ate my breakfast alone; the only sound I could hear was that of the staff in the kitchen cleaning up.
Once finished, I wandered the halls, hoping that I’d run into him. I sat out in the garden during my lunch an hour later, even took a nap in the solarium after that. My feet were still sore from the other night’s altercation, but I’d been given first aid supplies to tend to them.
And the whole day, I hoped I would see Matteo.
