‘Ok. I have a meeting with Ignacio in a few minutes but come back to see me in about an hour. I want to discuss something about the gambling debts at the Lucky Royal.’
‘Sure thing, boss.’ And the men evaporated through the door, leaving us alone again in the room, although in a much different atmosphere than the one at their arrival.
You could cut the tension with a knife, and I’m not talking about that panty-blowing heated atmosphere. No, it was anxiety mixed with hidden worry, and also irritation, though I wasn’t sure if it was about the money or about the plan.
To be honest, the sum was absurd and even if I was initially making the math’s on how much would I need to retrieve them, I could never think of reaching even a third of that. I should have worked at Vanya for a year to get close to raising that money.
And that was without eating.
‘Your ass is expensive,’ Brax was keen on letting me know how much money I was taking out of his pockets. ‘Over 35k with travel expenses, plus the time of five of my men.’
His hand slipped under my dress again, heading straight towards the hems of my panties ‘I’m a man of my word, but this is way more costly and complicated than I suspected. Maybe I should deserve a bonus prize.’
‘You said it’s a one-time thing,’ I whimpered, feeling his hand back between the folds of my sensitive skin.
‘And that it would be, although right now I would fuck you against this desk until you would cry of happiness.
Yet I only have one shot at this and don’t want to waste it. Who knows, maybe you’ll return begging for more.’
I didn’t answer since all I could think of wasIn your dreams...
‘And still, I need a little something extra. A test to see if you’re going to keep good on your side of the deal.’
‘I thought that I already showed you that,’ I mumbled, knowing that nothing good could go through his mind, but yet again, I took some more absurd requests into consideration ever since I decided on making a deal with him.
‘I would love to start now, but I have a meeting in...’ he looked at his watch ‘five... And I definitely don’t want to rush this.’ His hand abandoned me before things could go to that point of no return. ‘Wednesday night, at my place,’ he took another drag.
‘I didn’t say yes.’
‘You don’t have to. One of my men will come and pick you up. I don’t like you walking in the Pit alone.’
‘Awww, I didn’t think you cared,’ Ooops, sarcasm on the loose.
‘We wouldn’t want you to get into who knows what kind of trouble and leave me without my payment after all the trouble I put into this. Would we?’
How is it that every time I manage to get myself into trouble!?
‘Now go,’ he pulled me into a final kiss, biting on my lower lip ‘I’ll have to teach you when to open this mouth and when to keep it shut.’ He collided his heavy palm with my ass as I was standing, making me gasp in molten pain. ‘A car is waiting to take you home.’
I didn’t answer since I was too busy cursing between my lips. Just strode out the door and into the designated car to take me back to my place.
Chapter 14
The molten shaking in my knees that was stripping me of all powers was still there, reminding me of what hold Brax really claims over my body. The one thing I couldn’t allow was for him to get into my mind, holding onto that last line of defense in front of the demon who owned me.
I often wonder what could be so terribly wrong with me that my body prefers subduing than trying to withstand them because no matter how many silver linings my relationship with them may bear, in the end, there’s nothing aside rot supporting them underneath. I am a slave with no chains, tied to all of them in one way or the other, trapped in a perpetual game of cat and mouse.
I looked at my phone to find three missed calls from Ferris. It was impossible to keep my ringtone volume on during my visits with Brax since any questions regarding my other Pleasures were the last thing on my mind.
I almost pressed call. That was before I took a look around me and realized that I was still in the car with one of Brax’s men. I didn’t take an oath of total purity, but it just felt wrong calling Ferris from within this vehicle.
‘Have a nice evening,’ the man assigned to drive me home nodded while I glanced around me, noticing a yellow cab parked right in front of my apartment building. Ferris... I had to call him as soon as I got inside, yet the cab was leaving me under the sensation that he already was one step ahead of me.
There was no need to search for my keys since my apartment door was open and a few empty bags were laying in front of it.
‘Bea!’ Ferris’s butler, Alfred greeted me as if I was the one coming to visit his place.
‘Good evening,’ I looked around me, spotting two cups of warm tea sitting on the small coffee table placed in the middle of the room.
