I shake my head.
I don’t bother to tell her that we’re looking for her father, and when he shows up, she can leave. I want her to think she has no other options. I didn’t think about gaining an heir until she showed up, and now that I have, I can’t stop. Plus, I can’t imagine that her father still has the 150 thousand dollars, so someone will be paying with their body—or their life. And I’d rather the latter with Serenity.
I lean back in my chair and watch as Serenity’s eyes look over my body. I didn’t bother putting on a shirt this morning. Her eyes graze over my chest, the fine hair and muscles. When her eyes reach my face, I see her blush, and she looks away. I smirk as the sun hits me right in the eyes.
Her eyes follow me as I round the table, revealing my sweatpants and bare feet. I run my knuckles over her cheek. Her skin is so fucking soft I cup her entire jaw. I run my thumb over her bottom lip as she looks at me with dark eyes.
“The things I would do to this mouth…” I whisper. She gasps. Before I can jump the gun, I release her. Breaking the tension in half.
“I’m going to be around this morning, so I won’t put you back in your cage,” I say.
“Whoopi,” she says sarcastically.
I grip her hair at the base, pulling her head back. She gasps and paws at my hand around her throat.
“I’d change that attitude of yours, Serenity. Most people can’t afford the opulence you currently have. And just as I give these luxuries, I can take them away.”
“Like what?” she breathes heavily.
I run my thumb over her pulse point before squeezing her throat gently.
“Like breathing.”
Serenity nods her head and swallows hard. My cock twitches as I feel her throat move under my hand.
I release her, leaving her gasping.
“Don’t leave the house, Serenity. You won’t like what happens if you do.”
I leave the room, and I can feel her eyes watching me. I’ve piqued her interest, but Serenity is an intelligent girl. She isn’t going to just jump into bed with me. She needs some security. I have given her nothing but my word, and she doesn’t know me. Doesn’t know what I’m capable of or what it means to make a deal with me.
I need to show her, somehow, that she can trust me to honor my deal.
And I know just the person who can help me.
Chapter 6
Serenity
Iwalkdownthehalls of the giant mansion I’m trapped in. There are bathrooms here that are bigger than my apartment. Closets I could live in.
My skin still tingles from when Dante cupped my jaw. I run my hand down my cheek and over my lip, making me shiver. Images flash in my mind of when he wrapped his hand over my throat, and I shake them away.
Something must be happening to me if I’m considering taking his offer. Give my body to him for over ten months, maybe a year or more?
A few things cause me to hesitate. One, of course, is that the whole idea is incredibly crazy, but added to it is that I’m a virgin. Untouched by anyone, not even myself. I’ve gotten more action in the last two days than in my 29 years on this planet.
I wonder what kind of an effect it would’ve on the deal. Would it sweeten it or make it worse? Some guys don’t like to fuck virgins. Sometimes, it makes them clingy or something. But Dante doesn’t look like he clings to anything but darkness. It follows him like a shadow.
He could have light shining right at him, but then you look into his eyes and see two black irises staring back. I can’t imagine the things he’s seen, the life he’s led.
You don’t get to be the head of a mafia by being a nice guy.
I walk down the stairs leading to God knows where. I have nothing better to do but explore. Dante said nothing about me walking around where I wanted, other than outside.
I hear something at the far end of the hall. As I get closer, I hear heavy breathing and a smacking sound.
Oh, fuck please don’t tell me he’s getting laid. I don’t think I can stomach that.
