Slave to Mafia's Desire || Vol. 1

12-Strip

"...I don't understand," I said, confused.

"It's simple, really. Each time you break any of the rules, I'll claim a part of your body as mine," Raiden said with a smile.

"As yours?" I asked, still confused. If all parts of my body are intact, how can he possibly claim one to be his?

"Yes. The body part I've chosen will be mine to do with as I please, wherever and whenever I please," Raiden stated, smiling with utmost satisfaction at his own idea.

Seeing that I still looked quite confused by this alien concept, Raiden laughed softly at me as he continued to watch me from the opposite side of the table.

"Stand up... and strip," Raiden commanded, his eyes never leaving my face.

"Excuse me?" I replied in shock. What did he just... say?

"Stand up and take off your clothes. Please don't make me repeat myself, or you're about to break another rule, Ivelle," Raiden warned sternly.

"I... Why are you doing this?" I asked breathlessly. I wasn't sure if I imagined it, but his blue eyes seemed several shades darker as he stared at me like an animal eyeing its prey.

"If I don't get to see your body, how am I supposed to choose which part I'd like to claim first?" Raiden asked, acting innocent as he shrugged his shoulders.

I hated how he spoke as if there certainly would be a second... or a third time.

My body froze in place as I hesitated. How could I possibly just strip in front of him, right here in the middle of the dining room? This is beyond insane... but what can I do?

"You have ten seconds to stand up and start stripping. If you don't, I'll call some men to help you get on with it," Raiden said emotionlessly.

"No..." I whispered.

"Ten... nine... eight..." Raiden began counting down.

"Raiden! This is crazy..." I protested.

"Seven... six... five... four... three... two... one... men!" Raiden continued his countdown.

I looked into his eyes and saw that he was dead serious about this.

"No! I'll... do it," I cried out desperately.

It was bad enough that I had to strip in front of Raiden. I didn't need his men seeing me naked as well.

At the sound of Raiden barking into a small communication device on his collar, a few men dressed completely in black quickly rushed into the penthouse. I watched them, my eyes wide and my mouth hanging open in shock.

Raiden was serious. He actually called in his men to strip me...

"No need anymore. Just leave..." Raiden said dismissively, his eyes still glued to me.

Raiden leaned further forward across the table and peered into my face with an alluring smile. In another situation, I would have thought that the smile on his face was out-of-this-world bewitching, but I was finding it hard to admire him in this situation.

"What are you waiting for? Stand up... and strip, Ivelle," Raiden commanded as he smiled at me.

I can't believe I'm doing this. I stood up stiffly, and I could feel his hungry eyes on me as if they could burn my clothes right off my body. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to calm myself. I'm not a virgin, and men have seen me naked before. Ok... not that many, but still... so this isn't exactly a big deal or anything.

When I opened my eyes again, I was determined. No matter what he does to me or puts me through, I'm going to survive these 30 days, and I will return with my grandmother to our normal lives once again. I must survive this!

I won't allow him to break me...

Slowly, I brought my hands to the first button of my shirt. I realized my hands were shaking slightly, but after a few deep breaths, I stopped them from shaking. I felt his eyes on me, watching my every movement, and I stared back into his beautiful blue eyes as my fingers moved to unbutton the first button.

Once the first button came undone, I proceeded to the second, then the third... fourth... until all the buttons were unbuttoned. Slowly but firmly, I spread the fabric of my shirt aside, revealing my light pink lace bra and my upper body to his gaze.

I saw the corners of his mouth arch upwards as he enjoyed my discomfort and embarrassment at stripping in front of him. However, he didn't say a word, continuing to watch me silently. The room was so quiet that all I could hear was my own breathing, the sound of my heart beating loudly, and the ticking clock.

I moved my hands down and unbuttoned my jeans before unzipping them. I pulled them down my hips and legs and then off in one swift motion. Now, I stood in only my bra and matching panties, feeling the slightly cold air on my exposed skin.

Now the real challenge starts...

"Don't start hesitating now after you've come this far..." Raiden teased.

I hated his guts... and every part of him.

I glared at him as I swiftly unhooked my bra and ripped it off my body. My naked chest heaved as I threw the bra to the floor. My upper body was now completely exposed to his greedy gaze.

I felt his eyes on my flesh as he stared at my breasts openly. I tucked my thumbs into the waistband of my underwear, thinking it would be better to get this whole thing over with as soon as possible. After drawing in one deep breath, I pulled down my panties, sliding them down my legs to my ankles before stepping out and kicking them aside.

I now stood completely naked in front of Raiden.

I felt his gaze burn my skin as his eyes roved over my body from top to toe and back up again.
