"What's your plan?" The nameless man stood behind me and put his hands on the back of the chair, which is why he was close to me again. "You stay here until your father comes out of hiding and turns himself in. Pretty cowardly of him to attack us and then hide like a frightened animal. If he doesn't, you have to die." A Quiet "Oh God", escaped from my mouth. I hadn't intended to die yet, I was just 21 years old.
"Call me Nael. God is a bit exaggerated, don't you think, mio amato?" he whispered in my ear, laughing softly.
He came closer and closer so I already believed he would want to kiss my neck, but his head stayed millimeters away. I felt his breath bounce off me, I even heard him breathing in and out deeply, that's how close he was to me. The fragrance of his aftershave in my nose clouded my senses. "I could do so much with you right now. The thought of you lying beneath me and moaning my name so loudly as no one has ever done before makes me so horny, Shivani", he whispered so softly in my ear that only I could hear it. Goosebumps covered my body and stopped between my legs. When he realized what an effect he had on me, he jerked away. I realized how he had to pull himself together not to take me right in front of Fernando's eyes.
"Your father still has 65 hours", was the last Nael said before leaving the room together with Fernando. I was left alone.
