I'm walking down the dimly lit hall as I walk passed a ajar door, I think nothing of it. I go do my business while making sure I still look good in the mirror before making my way through the bathroom door back into the poorly lit hallway. Now feeling a bit off, I slowly walk passed the door again when I'm grabbed from behind and pulled into black void.
A body behind me, a hand around my mouth, I'm frozen in fear. I hear the man behind me say "You scream you die!" I nod in response. The man slowly removes his hand from my mouth. "Wow! You've changed Cora!" The voice whispers. I recognize the cold dead tone, it's Ryan!
Still in his grip tightly I squirm trying to free myself he let's me go except for wrist. His hold is so tight my skin is stinging, I ask him what he wants. He scoffs before responding, "I want what's mine Coraline, you belong to me or did you forget?" I do something I've never done before, I laugh in his face before saying "I no longer belong to you, you fucked that up when you decided you wanted Emma! Now let me go Ryan."
"I know about this little arrangement you have with Nico, What you're just going to be a whore for month huh.. then what? Whose going to want you after that!" His words are venomous.
His words hurt, I don't know if it's because I almost believe his statement or that it's bringing up the fact of my month being almost over. I tremble and he feels it. He loosens his grip before saying "Come home before you can't!"
I look at him in the eyes and tell him to fuck off before landing a knee right to his boys.
I hurriedly make it back into booming bass filled atmosphere, making my way back to the table trying to not give off any clues to what just happened. It didn't work. As I make it to the table and sit down Dom immediately takes notice to my intense body language. He looks at me and asks what's wrong. I lie and say it's nothing but he sees through my bullshit.
"So you wanna play games?" He snaps his fingers waving the others to leave or else. His eyes grow dark and he says "You lie to me again you're not going to like me when we get home, you won't be sitting for a week!" He growls in the most vigorous tone I've heard him use. I look down as I begin to tremble again as my eyes begin to sting. Finally I tell him "I promise I'm fine, I took care of it!"
When he sees how upset I am his tone softens, he replies "Coraline, this isn't over, but I will leave it at this as to not spoil Gabi's first time out but I promise when we get home you will tell me, the truth!" I nod as he grabs my hand to kiss it. I grab the bottle and gulp down as much as I can, completely disregarding the glasses that were there.
Before long Gabriella is back at the table asking me to join her back on the dance floor. I oblige, the music is thumping as Gabi and I dance our hearts out. I watch Dom as he watches me dance seductively, while my back is turned I feel an unfamiliar body press itself against me trying to get me to grind on him. The stranger grips my hips so tight I can't escape, I try to free myself but to no success.
It doesn't take long before I feel the man pulled away from me and is pouring blood from his face. Dom has a knife out and cuts the mans face before two of his men drags the strange man out to the side door. Dom looks at me with hungry dark eyes as he holds his bloodied hand out to me, Shakily I take it. He pulls me close to his chest as shoves his tongue down my throat. I melt in his arms. The kiss doesn't last long as he turns me and leads me to the dance floor.
We dance back to chest, I take advantage of this as I grind hard against him feeling his excitement grow underneath me. He leans down to whisper in my ear "I know what you're doing Amorè, You keep at this I'm going to bend you over and fuck you right here!" I give him a smirk "Do it then" I protest even though I could never actually go through with something like that.
Just then I feel his hand creep up under my dress inconspicuously andthe tips of his fingers are inside of me and before I can make a sound his free hand is over my mouth. Still grinding against him feeling extremely red-faced I don't stop, Dom on the other hand is completely shameless. He spins me around and pulls the hair from my face and says "You're perfect you know that!" I smile at him as he drags me back to the table.
We all meet back at our booth as I grab my bag and pull out a small wrapped giftbox. I hand it to Gabi, when she opens the box her eyes widen as she says "Oh Coraline I absolutely love it!" Handing it to Vinny to put it on. I got her a pink opal virgin Mary pendant necklace with "Che dio de Benedicta" engraved on the back.
Dom gives me a pleasing look, he had no idea I got it. Gabi spills out "Domenico you better keep her or I will, She is an absolute angel!" Dom laughs as he responds with "We'll see" we all drink a bit more as it's nearing 1am and if we don't have Gabi home soon Leo and Camilla will be pissed. Gabi is the baby, sheltered and held up on a pedestal, and for good reasons. She's just wonderful all around.
Before long Gabriella and I are arm in arm stumbling through the exit while the men cautiously watch us from behind. We make it to the car and head back to the house, the drive is filled with laughter mostly from me and Gabi. Everything is well until the moonlight hits my wrist just right and Dom takes notice of the mark around it.
Vinny drops Enzo and Gabi off at their place, before we head our way. This drive home is quiet and tense. Dom doesn't speak a word to me the whole way, the mood is cold something I'm not used to with him. My mind races as I don't want to tell him what happened earlier.
As we park and get out I follow him inside dreading this conversation. He tells me to go wait for him on the settee bench in the room. I gulp but I do as I'm told. He walks away, as I get to the room I sit on the bench with a racing heart and knots in my stomach not knowing what to expect.
