“That doesn’t mean anything. He never confessed to me about his business or his life. Why not let me go and you never have to see me again.” I wrapped the blanket around me and twisted it in a tie in front, then turned to walk the distance back to Nico’s room. “Where’s Nico? I want to talk to him. He wouldn’t want you harming me—”
“Who said I would harm you, and besides that term is relative. How am I harming you if I lock you away until Nico returns, and decides what he wants to do with you.”
“What do you mean, do with me? Let me go of course. I don’t know anything.”
“You know enough. That he’s gay.” I placed my feet on the bottom floor and looked up. It was a long way to the bedrooms, so maybe I could talk Dante into letting me go.
“You said yourself that everyone knew about him. So why now is this a big deal?”
“Because everyone who knows about him is either dead, had their tongues cut out, or... well, I won’t talk about that now.” I was beginning to worry more now, if I hadn’t before.
“You said for me not to leave with Nico, and now I get it. I know you like me so why not take me back to Manhattan and—”
“It’s one thing to like someone... Yes. I like you because you’re young and you don’t deserve a man like Nico as your first sexual experience. Or any kind of experience. You need someone who is gentle.” I read something into Dante’s last words. Was I reading him correctly? Did he want the best for me? Was it him he wanted to see me with? Was he telling me he would treat me better than Nico?
Why the fuck doesn’t he say so? Oh, I forgot, he’s straight.
Stopping on the final stairs leading to the hall, I turned to meet Dante’s soft brown eyes before setting my feet on the floor leading up to the fated room. I glared at the room where I had to be detained before Nico or Dante decided what my punishment would be. I hesitated, and said, “Like you. I know you would be gentle with me, Dante.” I’d dared to place my hand on his shaven face, and I felt him lean into my palm and saw him close his eyes, then snap them open when he realized who was standing in front of him.
I was his prisoner and he was my guard who would be the one to carry out my sentence once Nico returned. I didn’t have much time. I had to make Dante admit that he wanted me.
When Dante opened his eyes he narrowed his gaze. “I’m not who you want me to be. I’m no white knight who will save you. I’m no gentleman, Romeo. Don’t forget that.”
“You are much more. You’re in control now. You can decide my fate. You can decide if you want me as a lover or not. You are in charge. Make a decision before Nico returns. Even if it is a small one. You aren’t the boss yet. No one is going to question you if you have a gay lover.” My eyes met his. “No one needs to know. I’m not going to tell anyone.”
“But I said I’m not gay,” he barked. “I have a woman. Now can we change the subject?” he growled, and shoved me. “What’s it going to take for me to get that notion out of your head?” I thought he protested too much as they said. When I thought he was done with this conversation he obviously wasn’t. He was considering his options. “It’s not that easy, Romeo. Even if I wanted to release you, I can’t. Most of our men know Nico brought you here to have sex, and word travels on a fast horse, and word on the streets is he must have told you something about the disappearance of Angelo. Angelo’s the brother of a high-ranking family like ours.”
“I don’t know anything about this, except what you’re telling me now.” We reached the second floor, and the door to Nico’s room. I stood there hoping Dante would have pity on me. But nothing on his face signaled that he’d warmed up to me. I searched his eyes, they were blank. I searched for signs on his body, and there it was. He had a hardon.
If Nico had given him an order to get rid of me, he didn’t know me from Adam as the saying went, he would do it. He’d torture me, and then take me somewhere, and that would be it. I watched his face turn from warm to cold in a second. My eyes followed his hand as he discreetly palmed his cock, pretending to adjust his pants.
“I told you not to go with Nico. I warned you.”
“What are you trying to say to me, Dante?”
“Nico ordered me to take care of you.”
Chapter 7
Romeo
“Take care of me? Like in marry me, and take care of me. You know in New Jersey you can marry the opposite sex. Same-sex marriage has been legal since 2013. I bet you didn’t know that?”
“And why would I want to know that? I have no intentions of marrying a man. I have no intentions of marrying anyone at all and especially you.”
“Don’t you want to have the best sex of your life and marry that person who made that possible. Think about it, waking up every day of your life knowing that you’re sexually attracted to that person. Your dick stays hard for that person even if you’re eighty or ninety. When you’re around eighty I’ll be sixty. And maybe I’ll be fucking you, and I bet you’ll enjoy that. I bet you’ll never lose that urge for me.”
“Stop being an idiot. You’re smarter than that. Well, maybe not, because I said not to leave with Nico.”
“I went with Nico to be closer to you.” Dante’s face softened the way I’d seen it earlier. However, he was torn. I saw in his eyes that he would rather fuck me, than kill me. Maybe I could convince him not to do what he was planning. I sauntered up to Dante. He didn’t move away.
“Don’t you want one sexual experience in your life you’ll never forget?”
His eyes lit up and then dimmed.
“I told you I wasn’t gay.”
“Yes. Yes. I know.” I eased closer to him and placed my finger in my mouth before reaching for his hand, then inserting one of his fingers in my warm mouth. I sucked it as we locked eyes. I watched his wide chest move up and down and his pupils dilate after I felt his covered cock.
