"There's something else you should probably know" he said his voice low and measured.

My eyes widend slightly,my heart rate quickening. I had a feeling I knew what he was about to say, and I wasn't sure I was ready to hear it.

He paused for a moment, almost as if he was deciding whether or not to continue. Then in a slow deliberate tone,he said;
"I'm about to take over the mafia, and I need you to know what that means for you".

My mouth went dry at his words, I've heard of the mafia before and I didn't need anyone to tell me that it was a dangerous organization, and him taking it over would require a great deal of ruthlessness.
He continued, his voice calm and controlled.

"Taking over the mafia means that I will have power and responsibilities beyond anything you can imagine. I will be in charge of countless lives and millions of dollars, and I will have to make decisions that could affect the entire criminal underworld" he leaned in forward,his eyes boring into mine.

"Being with me won't be easy", he said , his voice low and intense. "There will be danger,threats and violence,Are you ready for that?"

I hesitated for a moment, my heart racing. I knew that saying yes would put me in a very dangerous position. But I also knew that saying no could have even worse consequences. He studied me carefully, waiting for an answer. With his intense gaze,he could see the uncertainty and fear in my eyes.

After what felt like an eternity,I took a deep breath and finally said;
"Y-yes I'm ready". What else did I have to lose?, this was my fate now.

His lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes glimmering in the low light."Good" he said, his voice deep and commanding .
"Because you're going to play a big part in all of this."

I swallowed hard, the enormity of what I had just agreed to settling heavy on my shoulder. I had no idea what the future held, but I knew one thing for certain; my life would never be the same again.He reached out and cupped my chin in his hand, tilting my face to meet up his gaze.

"You're mine now" he said, his voice heavy with possession.
"And I protect what's mine."

I looked up at him,my eyes wide, filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity. I could feel his possessive grip on me and it sent a shiver down my spine. He studied me for a moment, his eyes filled with control and...lust?

"You'll do what I say" he said his voice low and commanding.
"No questions,no arguments, Understand?"
I nodded, unable to find my voice. I could feel the intensity of his presence and it was both thrilling and terrifying. He titled my chin up further, his fingers digging into my flesh.

"Say it" he commanded, his voice firm and unyielding.
I floundered for a moment,my brain struggling to find the words he demanded.Finally I managed to speak, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I understand."

He nodded, looking satisfied then he let go of my chin and took a step back, his eyes never leaving mine.
"Good" he said a slight note of satisfaction in his voice.
"You're a smart girl, you'll learn quickly".
I nodded again still trying to process the situation. I had willingly agreed to be his,do his bidding and accept whatever came next.

He circled around me,his movements slow and predatory.
"You're a part of this now" he said his voice low and possessive."There's no going back, you belong to me."

I felt a strange mixture of fear and excitement at his words. I had given myself to him and there was no turning back.Then he stopped behind me,his hands resting on my shoulders. He leaned down, his mouth close to my ear.
