Seduce & Destroy

CHAPTER THREE (Mazikeen Demone)

Arian's car

What the fuck, Maze? Since when are you a weak woman in front of a man? Since when do you let yourself be dominated by a man? Since when does your brain turn into a mush in front of a man? To whisper a weak 'okay' as an answer? You need to get your wits together.

I was currently getting ready for dinner with Arian. I was wearing a dark blue mid-tight dress. It had long lace sleeves and the space under my breasts was also in lace. The upper part was form fitting while the skirt was lightly flowing around me with ease. My five inch pumps were beige and I had a beige leather jacket over my shoulders. My hair was in a messy French braid and my makeup was brought to minimum. Only mascara and lip gloss. A thin silver necklace was hugging my neck with matching bracelet around my wrist. I spared myself one lass glance in the mirror and headed downstairs when I hear my intercom buzz.

"Miss Demone, Mr. Collins is here. He says he came to pick you up." – My receptionist more asked then said. I clicked the button of intercom.

"Tell Mr. Collins I'll be down in two minutes." – I took my purse once again checked my hair and descended down with my elevator.

Once in a lobby my eyes settled on Arian. I'll be damned how good he looks! With a dark grey three piece suit and a maroon tie with black shoes he sure knows how to dress. His hair was tousled and his lips stretched in a smile.

"Miss Demone. You look stunning." – He said in greeting. I grinned and accepted his offered hand.

"Mr. Collins. Thank you. You don't look bad yourself." – I said in return. He led me out of my building to a beautiful dark grey Ferrari 488 GTB. He opened the door for me and I sat down in passenger seat. He walked around until he was seating next to me.

"Where are we going?" – I asked as he started the car. Arian looked at me sideways and smiled.

"Now, wouldn't you like to know?" – He asked and I knew I won't get an answer out of him.

He brought me in one of the many fancy restaurants in NYC. It was top star, needs a reservation and it's only for rich people who built a name for themselves so you can actually make a reservation like us. Arian opened the door for me and we made our way in. Once we were seated the waited came to the table.

"Good evening Mr. Collins, my name's Luke and I'll be on your service tonight. What would you like to drink?" – Luke asked. I noticed he checked me out with lustful eyes but didn't look at me as a person but as an object so I decided to talk.

"We would like a bottle of Montoya Cabernet Sauvignon, thank you." – I said and smiled sweetly. Luke looked at me and then averted his eyes back to Arian for confirmation. I was highly annoyed because I said an order and he looks for confirmation.

"What the lady wants, the lady gets." – Arian said to him and he scurried away. I looked at Arian from under my lashes to find him already watching me.

"So, Mazikeen, tell me about yourself a little bit more." – He said leaning back in his chair and looking at me intensely. About myself. To talk about myself. That is actually a lot harder than any of you may think. When you have as many secrets as I have you don't know any more what you can or cannot say. If you can voice your own thoughts or keep them far away from resurfacing. I gulped and told the story everyone else knows.

"I'm twenty-five years old. I have two older brothers by mere minutes and a younger sister. As you can conclude I'm a triplet and the three of us live here in New York when my mother and my sister live in Croatia where I was born. I moved here when I was twenty with my brothers. I'm quite smart so I finished my collage early and started my own company by twenty-one. And since then I run the best lawyers company in the America." – I gave him dry details. I gave him everything he could know without questions.
