Good Girl

I sit up wrapping my arms around my knees as I'm quite sore in several places. I feel a warm hand rub against my back "Good morning beautiful!" Domenico says in his hoarse morning voice. I smile as I turn my head to return the compliment. "I think I'm going to go shower.." I say.

He nods his head as he sits up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes "Let me go run you a bath, we have an important date tonight" Dom replies. I have never been treated anything like this, I'm not sure why he's being so kind but it's only a month til it's back to.. nothing now! I think to myself as Dom walks in all his glory to run my bath. He's not ashamed of nakedness nor shy about what other people would find distasteful or atleast what most people would never be so open about.

A few moments later I see Dom making his way to me, extending his hand to mine. He grabs my hand and walks me to where a large porcelain tub is filling up with warm water and bubbles. "Geez bubbles and everything" I say giggling. He returns the laugh as he guides me in. Dom is on his way out as he turns to me and says "I'll be in my study handling some business, if you need anything that's where I'll be I'll send Sofia up with some food!"

Just as quick he's gone, I lay back and replay the night before. I never thought in a million years I'd be in this predicament. I met Ryan when I was fourteen, started dating at fifteen moved in at seventeen. Anything to get away from abusive alcoholics that never really cared one way or another. Maybe that's why Ryan got bored, I've stayed in survival mode almost all my life, go along to get along, a good girl, always! Not anymore, maybe in this month I'll learn more than kinks with Dom, to be cold and powerful.

After spending way too much time in my head I finally grab the cloth and wash my body. Washing away the trail off kisses left only the night before. Feeling the phantom kisses brings me to a gasp escaping my lips. I wash my hair and make my way out grabbing the towel along the way. As I wrap the towel around my body I open the door to see a tray on the bed with a new dress laid out beside it.

The dress is a long black evening style gown, gold accents and a double split and a low cut neckline. It's absolutely stunning! I grab the coffee mug and take a few drinks as I brab the toast and eat it. I wonder to myself what the hell he could possibly have in mind, the dress is really nice. I spend my morning freshening up before even thinking of grabbing my phone, dreading more awful messages.

I throw on an old t-shirt and shorts, toss my still damp hair into a bun and make my way out of this room. I take my first step out of the doorway and hear faint voices. I make my way towards them when I see Domenico walking with Vinny, they have serious looks on their faces. I tip toe back and head for the stairs, I'm inches away before I hear my name being called. "Coraline!" I turn around to see Dom motioning me to him, I oblige passing Vinny on the way as he gives me a nod.

"Amorè good news, Vinny already has the crew finishing up the move. I've got a unit ready but I must say, The boy was not happy!" Dom says with a smile. "Really? That fast, This all seems so unreal Dom, I don't know what I'm going to do!" I protest. He cups my face "I'm a man of my word, You will be taken care of love. When we're done you'll never need him or any man ever again!" He growls in response. I squint my eyes at him questioning the words.

"Let's not discuss this right now Coraline, I'm having a small ... get together tonight, a party. My family and closest acquaintances will be attending. It's Saturday and we've got a few things to celebrate!" He continues. "So that's why there's a new dress on the bed." I ask. "Yes, Amorè you'll be accenting me, in more ways than one" He replies with wink.

By the time I get back into the room the bedding has been changed. I decide to head downstairs finally and head to the kitchen, where Sofia is cooking something that just smells like heaven to your nostrils. She's prepping for tonight no doubt. Sofia hears you and turns to say "Hello dear, can I get you something?" Her voice is just so kind like. "No Ms. Sofia I was just admiring the lovely smell!" I reply. And before I can object she's shoving a piece of custard like dessert into my mouth. The taste is probably one of tastiest things you've ever had, tastes like coffee and Caramel.

"How is it dear? It's called Panna cotta!" She says as she reads my expression. "It's just about the tastiest thing I've ever tried Ms. Sofia" I reply as I giggle. I continue "I can't wait to try more of your cooking!" As I turn to the island covered in multiple dishes. She smiles as she continues what she was, I walk down a hallway I haven't seen yet but I'm stopped by Doms voice. "Come Coraline!" Following him back upstairs he asks me to get dressed so he can bring me to the unit to make sure everything is ready so there will be no interruptions tonight.

I grab my suitcase and place it on the bed as I dig through the mess looking for a particular dress. A red mini dress, and light jacket and my black sneakers, not the best combo but it works. I expect him to leave but he just stands there in the doorway with his fingers against his chin. "Go on Amorè, get dressed!" He says as he getting pleasure from my coyness.

I pull my t-shirt off and slowly drop my shorts into a pool on the smooth marble. His eyes slowly make their way to my hips as he shifts in place. I throw the dress on never breaking eye contact. I put on my shoes and let him lead me out. He places his arm along my lower back as we walk away. He pulls me closer and says "I can't wait to have my way with you tonight, now that you've had a taste you can handle it I'm sure!" Dom says in low tone. I smile as he knows I want more of him.

The drive to the unit is short, not much is said. We walk til we hit the number 42, "Here we are boss!" Vinny says in a grunt. He lifts the roll up door exposing a half filled unit, mostly of small memorabilia of my family, and a few furnishings and random things. I choke up as it's starting to feel more surreal. It's over! I tell Dom everything looks to be in order, surprised he says okay and we make our way back to the car.

He asks me why I didn't go through and verify but I just told him "I just don't care, The less memory I have the better. I seen the one important thing I'd want so that was enough!" An old family heirloom I got from my grandmother before she posed, an old golden diadem with a large ruby and smaller ones around it. It was atop the dresser. It goes back eight generations, I had to fight my mother for it.

Soon enough we're back at his place a few hours before guests are expected to start showing up. I decide to finally start getting ready, starting with the mop on my head. One thing about curly hair, it has a mind of its own! I decide to do a simple style that accents my profile, I apply light yet strong makeup. Gold shimmering eyeshadow with black smokey cat eye, mascara and a matte nude lip shade.

I grab the dress admiring it a bit before putting it on. Surprisingly it fits like a glove, complimenting your curves perfectly. Before you know it you hear the door open and unfamiliar voices coming from the corridor. Your heart begins to race, what are these people going to think of me, not knowing about the deal, I'm not sure if them knowing or not knowing would be better. I let out a sigh and put on my heels, surprised Dom hasn't been up here to walk me down.

I stand up and adjust my feet to get a comfortable position in these heels, I grab the door knob inhaling one last deep breath before meeting this man's family, completely unaware of this is going to be a good or bad experience.

"Well here we go!" I mumble as I open the door and make my way to the top of the staircase.
