Damien…

It took all of my willpower to not rip that towel off her body. The slow movements of drops of water caught my eye as it travelled from her neck and disappeared into her towel. I wanted to lick the pathway it made against her skin. I groaned and pushed Aria out of my head and went downstairs.

“Is she dressed already?” Joaquin asked the moment I reached the table.                  “Not yet” I replied and sat down in my place at head of the table.                                           “I assume we are still going ahead with the plan and going to see Yokashi?” Maddox asked.                                                                                                                                                     “Yes, but someone needs to stay here with her. I can’t, Yokashi is expecting me”.                                                                                                                                                  “I’ll stay with her, Damien” Tony said.                                                                                      “No. I need you there with me, finalising the deal”.                                                                                              “I don’t mind staying, I’ll give her the time of her life” Joaquin sang and Lars laughed. Just then, we heard heels clicking on the glassed stairs.


Aria…


I scoffed as I inspected my clothes that were lying on the bed. I turned around to face Mary, the maid servant.                                                                                             “Is this all?” I asked with raised eyebrows.                                                                                             “Yes Ma’am. More clothing will be bought by tomorrow for you”. I nodded.                    “Oh, and please call me Aria” I said with a soft sigh as I stood at the door of an empty closet, the search for other optional clothing items had come to an abrupt end. I gave the black outfit on the bed another look and then decided to put it on.                                                                                                                    If I couldn’t get myself out of this house maybe that little black number could. I tugged at the top, while standing in the mirror.


It was a black playsuit, with a very low v shaped neckline and backline and even had a cut out just above the midriff. Even though I hated to admit it, it was sexy. Just not the right clothing to wear in the house belonging to the person that abducted you.                                                                                                                       I put on the ankle heeled boots and sat down on the couch for Mary to do my hair and makeup. Which is another thing you shouldn’t be doing in a house where you’ve been held against your will, but apparently Mary lives to please her Master.

I took in a deep breath and started walking down the stairs. Calm down, Aria, there’s no need to be scared. They can’t do anything to me, I haven’t done anything wrong. Just stay…calm.                                                                                                        The moment my foot hit the last step, I looked up. All of them were quietly seated at the table and were staring at me, as if I was a new toy or…their last meal, and man, they looked hungry.                                                                                                 This was a bad idea.                                                                                                                                  I should’ve asked Mary for her knee length maid’s uniform.

I suddenly felt very anxious and just stood there watching them and them, watching me. I briefly studied their faces.                                                                                                                     Joaquin had a dangerous smirk on his face. Lars looked happy. Tony was surprised. Maddox seemed thoughtful and Damien…Damien looked at me with his eyes full of lust. Raw, risky, uncontainable lust. Another second passed before Tony got up from his seat and spoke.                                                                                   “Here Aria, take my seat”.                                                                                                            I gave him a small smile and sat down. Tony told Lars to shift one seat up so he could sit next to me.                                                                                                           “Damn, I have good taste in clothes” Joaquin said shaking his head slightly.                                                                             “Yeah, thanks. I’m practically naked” I answered and glared at Joaquin dead in the eyes.                                                                                                                                         “Would you rather be wearing my clothes?” He asked with a sly grin. I returned the grin and responded seductively.                                                                             “Only if it would please you”.                                                                                                          “Oh, yes” He said and I could feel Damien tense up.                                                       “Then no. I’d rather wear basically nothing and freeze my butt off” I said angrily and stomped up the stairs heading for my room.
