Page 6 of Room Five: What You Can't See

My mind is spinning and trying to figure out what the angle is here. There are too many options and none of them are good. Not for me, at least.

The man at my back steps into my space and I instinctively take a step forward, away from him, but closer to the other two men who I’m pretty sure pose a threat to me. How violent that threat is and how much danger I’m in is yet to be seen, but I’m not naïve. I’m not going to like wherever this conversation goes.

“What could we possibly need to talk about, Mr. Falsini?” There’s a bite to my tone, one I don’t even try and temper. I’m pissed at being put in this position. If my brothers find out about this, I’ll never hear the end of it. “It would be in your best interest to allow me to walk out the door before this goes too far.”

“We don’t mean you any harm,” the man sitting on the bed tells me. There’s a certain amount of insistence and sincerity in his tone. I’m pretty sure he’s Massimo, the youngest of the trio.

I cross my arms across my chest and raise my chin. “Doubtful,” I challenge his words and arch my eyebrow.

“It seems we’ve stumbled across your secret, Viola,” the man in the chair, Mateo, drops the formalities and it almost has me breathing a sigh of relief. I can’t explain why. “As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, I’m Mateo.” The man points to the one sitting on the edge of the bed. “Massimo.”

The man behind me steps forward into my space, again, and I lock my knees, refusing to bend any more than I already have. “Marco,” the man whispers against the shell of my ear and I barely stop myself from shivering.

I clear my throat and harden my tone as if I could care less who the men in front of me are, “My secret?”

Marco chuckles and my skin breaks out into goosebumps. Holy shit. I should not be reacting to any of these men. It’s dangerous for me if I do. But I can’t seem to stop it.

“Yes, Viola,” Marco rasps, his hands ghosting over my skin, “the secret of you being here. In Club Sin. Only naughty girls spend time within these walls.”

I scoff. “Haven’t you heard? Women can own their sexuality now. They don’t need a man’s approval to do so either.”

Massimo’s fists clench on his knees and his shoulders go rigid. Hm. Interesting reaction, but I don’t have time to analyze it right now.

“Then you wouldn’t mind your secret getting out,” Mateo throws back at me, and my spine goes ramrod straight. He smirks, noticing my reaction. “I’m sure your brothers, especially Dante, would be horrified to know about your membership here.”

“I think it’s hot,” Marco whispers, his front pressing flush against my back. I can feel how hard his cock is. And how impressive it is. “I wonder what kind of play you like, princess.”

“That’s none of your business,” I snap venomously.

Marco’s voice taunts me, “Don’t you wonder what kind of play we’re into?”

I shake my head and consider stepping away from him. Would I be giving him what he wants then? Does it matter?

Massimo is watching me with a curious expression on his face. From what I know, he’s the softest of the three. I might have to use that to my advantage.

My heart is hammering at the thought of my association with Club Sin coming out. I might hate it, but the triplets are right about one thing—my brothers would not react well. They wouldn’t be the only ones either. In certain circles, the ones I tend to run in because of the influence, money, and power of my family, I would be considered a slut for having a membership here.

I thought the club would provide some sort of anonymity for me, but that only works when everyone wants their membership to remain a secret.

I was a fool.

Mateo watches me, his gaze calculating. He’s waiting for me to break. I can feel myself cracking, no matter how much I hate it.

Could I allow this to come out and face the consequences no matter what they are? Is it worth finding out what the Falsini men want in exchange for their silence?

I sigh and force my shoulders to relax. Mateo’s lip twitches as if he’s won something. Men are so easy sometimes.

“What do you want?”

Mateo clarifies, “For our silence?” I give a curt nod and he rests his elbows on his knees, his fingers steepling as he leans forward before his eyes rake down and up my body. “One night between us and we’ll keep your secret.”

My jaw drops. I was not, honestly, expecting those words. I thought for sure he would try and get some sort of Guidice secret. Or maybe for me to set up a meeting with Dante. Or even some sort of leverage for more power.

I snap my mouth closed and shift my weight, popping out one hip. I look over the two men in front of me while still feeling the third one as he presses himself against me.

My body is screaming at me to take the deal. It’s not like spending a night with the men in front of me would be a hardship. They’re sexy as fuck and I have little doubt that they’d be able to show me a good time. It doesn’t seem like a bad trade.

One night and my body for their silence.
