"Take it off Emily" It sounded of authority and despite my attempts to rebel I removed the clothing, dropping the fabric next to my feet. Smashing my eyes together forcing back the tears in their cages.I wanted to go home, check on my mother, take a hot bath, curl up in my favorite chair and read a novel. If possible send a text or two to Alley and José my two dearest friends not this.
Was he like Jethro?
He didn't seem concern that I wasn't no longer blessed with C cups.
"Look at me Emily"
I open my eyes tears poured out like a flood, his eyes lingering on the scars covering my chest where my breast had once been.
"You are beautiful little one and if anyone says otherwise I will deal with them severely" clamping his manicured fingers together in a tight ball."Okay..." surprised by his reaction licking my lips.
I could do with a drink, something strong like scotch or vodka.
Yes either one will do.
He crouched elegantly to face me at eye level. I could only stare as he touches my scars, my lips quivering.
Jethro was disappointed and shocked when I told him about the malignant growth that had been found in my right breast, a rare case for a woman under thirty.
He was even more disappointed when I told him that I had to lose my breast before the cancerous cells spread to the rest of my body.
I was looking towards him for love, support and comfort but he disappeared leaving me just when I needed him most.I flinched under his gentle touch.
"Does it hurt?" trailing his finger across the rough edges, my stomach clenching linking my fingers together on my lap.
I nodded wildly
"I don't want you to be afraid of me Emily" grabbing my wrist pulling me closer crushing our bodies together, my eyes dropping to his lips.
Oh god I wanted him to kiss me, he smelled sinfully good.
"You will address me as Master, Master Nickolai or Sir which ever you prefer."
Is this a joke?
I couldn't tell and it scared the hell out of me.
"Later today we will discuss your limits as well as mines over dinner"
Limits"What should you say little one" his dark pinning me in place, waiting.
"Yes Sir" it was a shot in the dark, I hope it was the right thing to say.
"Excellent I see you catch on quickly. "
Tracing my parched lips with his finger, gasping my hair back sharply. He tugged it back kissing me his lips rather soft. I groan as his tongue pushed its way passed my lips into my mouth, my hands gripping his shoulders for support,
I wanted him but I hated him
Just how much?
Twenty five million
He kissed me slowly his tongue covering ever inch of my mouth, when he pulled away I was breathless, we both were.
He stood handing me my blouse, suddenly I wasn't feeling so self-conscious about my appearance biting my lips wanting another kiss.
It's time to leave little one, my driver will be here any moment, he will take you home.""Oh" trying to hide my disappointment gaping at my feet.
"I have an urgent conference meeting for eight which is less than three hours from now" running his hands through his hair. He looked exhausted, sexy.
"Don't worry about things here I will get someone to clean up, let's go baby" grabbing my arm helping me up.
"If I give you the twenty five million will you go away and leave me and my mother alone"
Had it soon come out my mouth, I regretted every word said.
He chuckled" No, you want to know why"
When I didn't reply he continued.
"Today is the first of May. As of today the amount went up double the interest""How" I whispered because that was all I could manage at the moment, a ghostly smile covered his lips and eyes.
"You should have read the contract Emily. After three months if the debt is not settled the interest is double the original sum"
Holy shit
So from today I owe him
Thirty five million dollars
Holy shit
"So if you weren't able to pay the fix sum which was ten, yesterday you didn't have twenty five, how on earth will you be able to give me thirty five million dollars. I doubt you are worth that much in bed, a couple of thousands but not millions."
My jaw drop at his lack of humility slapping him full across the face, his dark eyes flaring with anger."I will get the money even if I have to fuck for every dime" I gnarled
"And who you going to fuck with?" he smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes.
"That's none of your business. I have plenty of men in mind and you are not one of them" I snap.
He grip my arm twisting it painfully bringing me to my knees.
"If you want to be treated like a Tampa rat then so be it. Forget about dinner and forget about us getting married. I will just fuck you until I have had my fill."
"No" I said breathlessly "Please"Panic filled me I didn't want to be treated like trash. Me and my big mouth.
Silence,our breathing the only thing shattering the quietness of the bar, my arms and knees aching.
A car horn blurred out front it was his driver.
"Go" releasing me" I will see you this evening"
I ran out the bar, my heart pounding not looking back once thankfully I didn't stumble. I was free, free from his penetrating gaze and hurtful words been said back and forth. We were not married as yet but we already had our first major fight.
I close my eyes taking a deep breath calming my nerves and thoughts trying to steady my heart before slipping into the back of the awaiting vehicle, a sleek suv, closing my eyes feeling foolish and embarrassed by my out burst.
The roads were clear as I made my way home. I spoke not a word to his driver my thoughts immersed with that of Nickolai. A shiver ran though my lithesome frame my stomach rumbling with hunger as I thought about our kiss. Okay Emily he is conceit, bossy but a great kisser, brooding.
How could my father make such a deal with a sadist and not give me the heads up before he died, it was the least he could have done since he never did anything else for me.
I breath a sign of relief as the car pulled up in front my house. Concisely I thank him exiting the vehicle limping, running up a short flight of stairs opening the door. Tires screeching behind me stung my ears his driver was gone.
