I suppress another giggle and jiggle under the covers. I feel like a kid staying up late. Not a twenty-two year old woman in her bed. Even if my father is watching over me, in a way …
I begin typing again, but my father snorts, then coughs. He adjusts himself in the seat and then he’s back to snoring again.
I bite my lip.No,I text.But we traded.I added a winking emoji.
I look at my father again and my heart melts for the second time, I wonder if I should text Seb or Rocko that I’m home safe. Knowing my father, which I do, they’re most definitely still out in the city searching endlessly for me. I can already see that for the rest of the year they’ll be doing nothing but port patrols and midnight shifts. They’ll be punished because I escaped to party with Mimi. They’ll be punished while I was freed.
Mimi texts.Traded what? Traded WHAT woman??
I snort and text back.Can’t a woman keep her secrets?
I don’t even have a chance to lock my phone before she’s responded. First she responds with just a few dots. Then again, more dots. Finally she sends emoji of an eggplant and water droplets…
YOU GOT YOURSELF SOME DICK!!She writes in all-caps.
I press my hand to my mouth to stop the laughter coming out. I’m shaking with mirth, so I bury my head under the sheets so that I don’t wake my father. I try to stop myself from remembering. I try to stop myself reliving the last few hours of my life, because if I do, I doubt I’ll be sleeping any time soon. Not with what I’ve seen and tasted …
But it’s too late. I feel excitement tingle across my body. Our passion and energy was the hottest thing I’ve everfelt.Done … I mean, we didn’t have sex, but …
I gulp and think of replying to Mimi, but then I close the app and open the one Luca told me to download. It’s the safe and secure messaging app he uses. You have to be added by a person to get it. He added me and I have to wait until my name is drawn. Supposedly the app only adds so many people a day. It’s a part of how they encrypt each user. I’m aware ofCageChat; our bodyguards use it and most of my father’s workers do as well. It’s great for illegal stuff … not so much a hookup you want to messageright now.As I’ve never had the need, I’ve never made an account. I suddenly want to kick myself.
The app still has a loading symbol next to my name. I sigh and snuggle further under the covers. I’m exhausted. I’ll just have to check it again in the morning.
I hear my father move again, then he falls into a deeper sleep
As I lie there in the dark, feeling slightly woozy and still drunk, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe that in the space of one night, I had my first drinks, went to my first fashion show, and hooked up with the hottest man ever. I’m giddy and excited. I could be twelve years old, but I don’t care. I’m too happy to.
When I awake in the morning I’m literally coming from a wet dream. I suppress a groan and cover my mouth. I feel how wet my panties are and the visions of Luca are still moving through my head. I can still see his cock, hard behind his trousers. My legs are still weak and I can feel the urge deep in my belly, like a hunger I’ve never wanted more in my life.
After he’d made me come, feeling his body against me, feeling his rigid cock against my back … It just hadn’t been enough.
Am I still in my bed?
I hadn’t even thought about it. Not what I’d do to him or how. I don’t even know what he was expecting, I just wanted to please him. I wanted to taste him. Iwanted—
I shake my head and make myself stop. I open my eyes to remind myself I’m in my room and thatmy fathercould still be across from me. I look to the side desperately and thank God that my father isn’t sleeping there.Thatwould’ve been embarrassing. The last thing I need is to wake from a wet dream and see my father. I shudder and check my phone.
There’s a few messages from Mimi and a whole slew of jokes about me and Luca. Mostly to do with me and Luca’s dick. I giggle again and just text a winking emoji.
I yawn and stretch, looking around my room I can see that my father has woken and tidied a few things. He’s straightened things but left it mostly undisturbed.
All except a note that lies on the recliner he’d slept on.
I gulp and get out of bed quickly, making my way to it. I pick it up and read it.
Meeting this afternoon - my office at two o’clock. We need to discuss your future.
This is it. This is my end. I’ll never escape. I groan. Thiscan’tbe the end. Not when I’ve just glimpsed what life could be.
I want to text Rocko or Seb and know how bad it is. But I’m sure if I text them they won’t exactly be happy with me, plus, they’ll probably inform my father that I’m up. I climb back into my bed feeling deflated. Just as everything was looking up? I curse myself and look at the clock. My eyes go wide. It’s already half past midday. I’ve been sleeping the day away!
Which means that the note for a meeting this afternoon, is actually, pretty much, rightnow.
I swear and get out of bed.What am I going to do?I look at my phone. I reread my texts to Mimi, wondering if there’s any reasons I can use to escape. She hasn’t said anything as of late other than her jokes. I’m sure the security has been doubled already though. There’s no way out. I can feel it.
I unlock my phone, shaking my legs and wanting to be a kid and have a tantrum again. It feels so unfair. But there’s a new notification. One that hasn’t been triggered, but is showing on the screen. It’sCageChat.
I fumble my phone and drop it. I go to catch it and my stupid foot boots it across the floor. It slides across the carpet and into the bathroom. I huff and follow after it. I did need to pee, I suppose. I pick the phone up and gasp in joy. I giggle and dance. I immediately open a chat with Luca and text him.
