"Yes, but…" She let her voice trail off, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.
"You didn't think I'd follow through?" I pressed.
"It's a lot of money," she murmured, glancing down at her shoes.
"Good thing I have a lot more," I replied without hesitation.
We reached my car, and I unlocked it with a click, turning to her.
"I don't bullshit, babes. When I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it."
She nodded slowly, still processing everything. Her hand trembled slightly as she reached for the door handle.
"Get in," I said, softer this time.
She slid into the passenger seat, and I walked around to the driver’s side. As I started the engine, the car purred to life beneath us.
The drive was silent at first, tension hanging thick in the air between us. Finally, Elodie took out her phone and dialed her mother’s number. Her voice was quiet but firm as she spoke into the phone.
"Hello? It’s Elodie… Yes… We’re coming over for dinner. He wants to meet you. No, no, bringing William is a bad?—"
I snatched the phone from Elodie; her startled gasp filling the car. Holding it to my ear, I could hear the muffled protests from the other end.
"If he's there, you're responsible for what happens to him," I said, my voice cold and steady. "Elodie belongs to me now. You can accept it or you can fight it, but listen, lady, you fucking fight me on this, and your life is going to get a hell of a lot harder than it already is. I don't think you know who the fuck you're talking to."
There was stunned silence on the other end before the call disconnected. I tossed the phone back to Elodie, who caught it with shaking hands.
She looked at me, eyes wide with a mixture of awe and fear. "How?" she asked after a moment.
"How what?"
"How do you just… talk to people like that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
I shrugged, keeping my eyes on the road as we pulled into my driveway. "Practice," I said simply.
The silence between us was heavy as I parked the car and killed the engine. Elodie stared at me for a long moment before finally looking away. The uncertainty in her gaze tugged at something deep inside me—something I wasn't ready to confront yet.
I felt a surge of possessiveness over her as we walked through the front door of the mansion. Her steps faltered slightly, but she kept pace with me.
"Go to my room and get on your knees," I told her gruffly. "I'm going to have you practice something else."
A flicker of trepidation crossed her face, but she didn't look away from me. Brave thing.
We made our way up the grand staircase and down the long corridor to my room. I pushed open the door and stepped aside to let her enter first. She hesitated only for a moment before walking in, the soft click of the door closing behind us echoing in the quiet room.
Elodie slid down onto her knees, looking up at me with those wide, innocent eyes. The sight of her like that made my cock twitch in anticipation.
"You're going to learn how to suck my dick," I said, my voice rough with desire. "Open your mouth."
She glared at me, defiance burning in her gaze. It only made me want her more.
"You're mine," I said, leaning down so my face was inches from hers. "I don't give a shit who you were promised to before, got it? Now open your mouth."
She hesitated for a split second before parting her lips, submitting to my command. The sight of her mouth open and waiting sent a jolt of heat through me.
I pulled out my hard cock and grabbed the back of Elodie's head, guiding her closer. Her breath hitched slightly as I pressed the tip against her lips, but she didn't pull away.
"Good girl," I murmured, feeling a dark satisfaction as she took me into her mouth.
