Into the Flames

Chapter 2

Aurora's pov:

I move my hips towards the pole in the center of the room, and I let my body do all the work. Twisting and turning around the pole unleashed some sort of inner beast I never knew I had. Dancing as if there was no one in the room but myself, made me feel so alive. "You're so fucking sexy." The dark man in front of me grunted. Moving away from and pole and towards the man, I saw his eyes drown in lust. I bend down and drag one of my fingers along the length of his thigh. His eyes were glued to my breasts. Getting on top of his lap, I could feel his hard and his growing frustration. "Mi amore if you continue to tease me you won't make it out of this room in one piece." He said without any emotion.

"I'm not a prostitute Enzo, I am simply a stripper, if you are looking for other ways to earn satisfaction I would consider finding one of the many prostitutes wandering around outside." I got up from his lap and began to leave the room. A hand wrapped around my neck, and slammed me into the wall closest to us. "Oh bambina, I think you've mistaken me for somebody who gives a fuck. If I want pleasure you will give it to me." His uneven breaths float down my neck, and he begins to suck on a small spot behind my ear. A small moan leaves my lips as I feel his body find it's way impossibly closer to mine. "But I will let you go this time. Next time you may not be so lucky." Enzo walks out of the room and back into the club. I slowly follow behind him, trying to regain my composure. Before I could blink my eyes, Enzo was gone and I was left standing in the club flustered and very turned on.

Lorenzo's pov:

Aurora. What a beautiful name.

I have never seen her before in my club, and no one had informed me that we hired a new stripper. I am the boss and if they can't do one simple job of informing me of who works for me, then they will have to be punished.

As soon as I saw her on the stage, my eyes were glued to her. Her body was perfect, her face flawless, and the aura surrounding her was purely innocence. For some reason I felt like I had to have her. To protect her from all the evil in the world. She seemed like the type of woman to be so naïve that she isn't even aware of all the evil people surrounding her on a day to day basis. Her long blonde hair glimmered in the colorful lights of the club. She was the definition of flawless. I need her.

...

Arriving back to my mansion, I walk directly to my office. "Luca, come here!" I yell knowing that he had heard me. He walks into the room with a smug look on his face. "What do you want Enzo?" his attitude laced throughout his words. "First of all, don't speak to me like that, I won't hesitate to burn you alive. Second of all, I need you to find a woman for me." I stare out the window, visions of her beauty dancing through my head.

"Yeah sure I can, whats her name?" Luca asks impatiently. "Aurora, she's blonde works at one of my clubs here in Chicago, 'Euphoria'. Find her and bring her here." I continue to stare out into the vast lot of trees surrounding my home. "On it." Luca states sharply as he runs out of my office and into his own down the hall.

I'm not sure what it is about nature, but looking into the forest, it fills me with a sense of calmness. I had a feeling in my chest that this woman would be like my own nature, calming, perfect, and everything I could ever ask for.

Standing up from my chair, I make my way towards the basement of my house. A few days ago I picked up a man named Marcus Reid. He was the man in charge of my weapon shipments. About four days ago, one of our weapon shipments went missing, costing my mafia around $2 million. I was livid at the fact that this man couldn't do one simple job, even thought the lost money didn't even make a dent in my bank account. I walk into the ice cold room, and the smell of blood and bleach filled my nose. A small man in the middle of the room, sat chained to a chair. His head was hanging low and his breathing was uneven. "Marcus, what a pleasure to meet with you again." I speak so lowly you might have thought I was whispering. "Lorenzo I know why you are here and I have no information for you. I swear I don't know where the shipment went." His body begins to tremble in fear the moment he hears my voice. I grab my lighter, and light up the joint I had rolled up in my pocket. I take one long drag before releasing a cloud of smoke. "Well you see Marcus, I am down 2 million and I am missing my weapons. This is not a situation I would like to handle lightly, since it puts my mafia at risk. I know you are working for someone else, and that's where my shipment went. I simply just want to know who." My words shocked him, as he had no idea I knew he was a traitor. I walk closer to him, as I put out my joint on his chest. A small scream of pain was released from his mouth, as he attempts to free himself from the chains.
