New Beginnings

The man extends his arm to gesture to sit, I take a few steps closer to the couch and take a seat. As nervous as I am I'm captivated by his eyes, Golden honey brown with specs of green, sad though! He's so close I smell his cologne and it's still sweet.

I'm sitting there for a few moments while he adjusts himself and pours drinks on the small table aside the couch. He turns to me and says "Miss Delacroix, Ryan.. Ryan is a fool to not see you for what you are! A woman of great value, beautiful, submissive..." he pauses on his words as I shift at the word.. Submissive, I've only heard that  a few times, never in great examples but he's not wrong. I've learned from childhood, do as you're told blah blah blah.

He continues "If Ryan is foolish enough to trade you in for Emma... Well I've always been a man of finer things.. And you love, you are much finer than her." As ashamed as I feel Ryan is my world, he handled everything, almost like I was a child. I've never held a job, I don't even have a bank account. Ryan always said the man should control such things.

"Who even are you? How do you know Ryan and why are you even interested?" I ask quietly. I'm not sure why he'd be of any interest of me, I'm just a random woman he seen one day, there's probably close to two dozen cute half naked women in this building and he wants to bug me. It just doesn't make sense to me.

"My name Domenico Camorra, Owner of this lovely establishment.. A lover of the finer things in life... And Love, you possess qualities women like Emma could never, Loyalty is the first to come to mind!" He says confidently. "Well Domenico so much for Loyalty all that got me is put in this fucked up situation, so thank you but I think I'll pass on whatever you're offering, all I want is revenge at this point!" I reply back dryly.

His eyes light up, as he sits forward, rubbing his fingers on his jaw. "I'll tell you what, Be mine for thirty days and I'll give you more than revenge. I'll give you revenge and power!" Domenico said to in low tone. He notices a flash in my eyes, I felt it. Not sure how to take his words I can only spit out "What?!" In disbelief.

Why does this stranger want me, he seems to be on mission for me and for what.. thirty days that's just absurd. Domenico gets a devilish grin as he places a hand on my bare knee "So what do you say beautiful, Be my love for a month and I'll give you everything your beautiful little heart desires, in return I get you... I won't fire Ryan because he's proving to be of use in that area of business but getting you would be a sweeter prize"

I'm taken aback by his words, fire Ryan? And finally it all makes sense Ryan started moonlighting, with the mafia! How could he do this. I feel the anger building up and finally I break, but not in a negative sense. I'm tired of being his good girl, after all the lying, cheating and manipulation I'm finally done. I'm going to do something so out of character. I'm going to agree to be a mafia boss's mistress, Even if revenge is the only thing I get out this.

"Domenico, if I accept this offer I need to know more than just be yours. Like will I be safe... What are you wanting from me, I can't work in a place like this if that's what you're looking for!" I tell him. He gives a low chuckle. I'm not sure what he found amusing but he leans closer to me.

"Coraline I promise you'll always be safe with, I'll defend you with my life! All I need from you is you. To be by my side, cook for me, rub me after a long day, and fuck me when I want" He says looking down at my exposed thighs. I get an electronic wave that goes through my whole body as he says the last part. I've only ever been with Ryan, years of mediocre lays, not that I have any other compartments. I just grew to want more, more passion, romance, anything!

I agree, timidly but anything to get me away from Ryan. If I go home by morning time Ryan will most likely have changed his mind and promising myself to stay strong. He left me heartbroken and distressed for the last time!

"Wonderful, I'll have Vinny take you to pack essentials, and bring you to my place starting tonight you belong to me! We'll send a crew tomorrow to gather the rest of your things!" Domenico says as he stands up.

I can't believe my life has done a 180 like this, Domenico holds out his hand to grab mine, he places a soft passionate kiss on my hand as he smiles and says "I promise Amorè you won't regret giving yourself to the Boss!"

I certainly hope not I thought to myself. He makes a quick call and within seconds a tall stocky man walks in and Domenico talks to him for a few moments before the man responds "Yes boss!" And takes the lead out. Domenico hand my hand interlocking our fingers before leading me out. As we reach the end of the hallway where it leads into bar/ dance area I notice Ryan and Emma are still all over each other, but he does see me hand in hand with the boss.

I give him a wicked smile as I turn and follow this large beautiful man through the crowd and out the front doors. Domenico opens the door and I slide into the most luxurious car I've ever seen. Domenico gets in and sits only centimeters away from me, Vinny shuts the door and climbs into the driver's seat and off we go.

Domenico places his large hand on my upper thigh sending jolts up my legs, through my gut up to my breast. Massaging my leg his fingers are like silk against my skin. I shouldn't be aroused but I am, and he knows it.

We get to my now old house, he follows me in taking in the normalcy of the home, nothing luxurious like he's used to. I head to my room and pack 2 suitcases and a dufflebag of my urgent items. Before I leave I stop at Ryan's beside table, I grab the photo of us in a happier time. I look at it for a moment before setting it on its back and smashing it with my fist, taking the old pathetic promise ring off of my finger and placing it right atop of the shattered glass.

I don't ever wanna step into this house again I think before turning on my heel. Domenico grabs my bags and carries them out for me. I take one last look at the place I just called home, God riddance I think. I turn to head to the car, with this newfound arrangement. As nervous as I am, I'm happy, here's to new beginnings.

We get inside the car and take off, it takes awhile but we eventually pull into a long gated driveway leading into a more luxurious house, maybe mansion but the biggest house I've ever seen. It's absolutely gorgeous. Here's to the coming month and whatever it entails I think.
