Music filled the air as we walked, and it wasn't long before I noticed that the place looked like a lavish hotel. The floor is marble covered with a very popular wine-colored carpet. I tried to get as close as possible to Eric, especially since he didn't stop it at all. Suddenly, I heard a very loud 'crack' on the left side, followed by a woman's painful groan. My eyes followed the sound, passed the man in front of us, and landed on the scene in the next room. A crowd of well-dressed men, and even a few women, were gathering to watch a man in a white tunic holding a naked woman on his stomach. Her black hair was swept to one side, her face filled with pain clearly visible. Her body looks incredibly graceful, even in a lowly position. A bright red handprint stood out against her pale skin. The man stroked the girl's back and she arched her back, lifting her butt higher as if begging him to hit her again. I turned away as he did, and the woman groaned again, but didn't scream. Is that
I was sobbing and shaking, but I couldn't get myself to move. I leaned toward Eric's feet, cringing and pleading as much as I could without speaking or breaking posture. You promised to protect me. Now, I hope you will. The man clicked his tongue, and I could almost feel the anger radiating from Eric, but I had no idea who it was directed at. It didn't take long to realize. Eric's hand pushes my head away and he leaves his spot. “Look at me,” Eric said. He stood next to a man who looked like an Arab. He was already dressed and I was a little surprised at the sight of him in a beautifully tailored dark suit. His shirt had a few unbuttoned sections, revealing some dark brown flesh that was slightly sweaty. He was a few inches shorter than Eric, but still tall by my standards. He was also older than Eric, probably in his forties. His eyes were full of death and darkness. They appear to be lined with black eyeshadow, but they are not. It is an accompanying characteristic of Middle East
At Raymond's request, Eric brought Kitten back to the party. It wasn't something he wanted to do, but in the unfamiliar space of his 'friend' Raymond's large house, he had no choice but to follow the butler towards the other guests. Anger towards Raymond raged through his thoughts, and he needed time to sort out his emotions. Why was Raymond at the mansion and why was he deliberately attacking Eric? Doesn't make any sense, unless Eric considers how Raymond and Jair plot behind his back. He'd love to see this as a betrayal, but that word might be too heavy, given all that Raymond had done for him in the past. Plus, Kitten had let him down. He had warned her to obey, warned her what would happen if she did wrong in front of Raymond and the others, and yet, she embarrassed him. Even now, her hand continued to search for his, seeking warmth in the most tedious way. She hadn't stopped crying ever since she saw the blonde woman. Inside, Eric flinched but didn't know why. The blonde woman
A Mexican man in his late thirties, with dark hair, green eyes, and an impressive beard, approached Eric and the Kitten. He was wearing a strange white suit and his demeanor was completely different from the people around them. From the general description Raymond had given, Eric knew it was definitely Felipe. Only the owner of an estate like the one they were in right now would dare to wear an ostentatious outfit to attend such a lavish party. Eric, wearing jeans and an out-of-date shirt, looked very casual, and he felt a little self-conscious about his untidy appearance. He wanted to see him on a more equal footing. “Bueno! You must be Mr. C,” the man said, his voice solemn but gentle. “Mr. R has told me many interesting things about you. I'm Felipe. Welcome to my home.” Felipe's accent is heavy, but the words are clear enough to be understood. Eric reached out his right hand only after Felipe brought his right hand out first. Their handshake was firm. Long ago, Raymond taught Eri
“This way you can see and keep your privacy,” Felipe gestured toward the chairs. “Thanks,” Eric said, as humbly as possible, “I'm Eric. Kitten knows my name very well, so there's no need to fuss over me." Eric didn't expect to be called Sir all night long. Felipe looked down at Kitten and smiled. “As you wish, Lord Eric,” he said, and left to join the other guests. Eric sat down in one of the velvet chairs and stroked Kitten's hair, while she settled quietly on the floor beside him. She had followed him through the crowd on her arms and knees, carefully guarding her wounded shoulder. Eric sighed deeply as he stroked her hair, comforting both of them. He didn't want things to be this complicated, but the time for wishes had passed. Suddenly, Eric heard the "jingle" of a bell, and a petite Asian girl with jet-black hair and almond-shaped eyes caught his attention. She crawled slowly on her hands and knees, but a quick glance showed that the hesitant movement was imperative. The othe
Raymond wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes as he slowly turned laughter into distorted silence. “So childish, Eric. Jair was just a source of information when he wasn't very useful. I know you very well, Khoya, and I would be a fool to think that you would tell me everything. Besides, I want to see the girl you chose for Vladek. I want to make sure she's perfect for the task. Frankly speaking, at the moment, I don't feel very convinced." Eric directed his anger inward; absently, he reached out and stroked Kitten's hair. “I accept the attack, Raymond. I chose Kitten myself, and just like in your story: I'm content with my choice. Have you ever thought that a minute in that whore's arms is all I need?" Eric finally calmed down and smiled. “She said it perfectly.” Raymond chuckled and Eric couldn't help but laugh along. They have known each other for a very long time. Raymond was the only one who truly understood Eric, and despite their odd and often tense relationship, Eric
I wanted to scream at her for refusing to speak up, but I'm sure that wouldn't get me anywhere. “Sixuuuuu…months?” She shook her head. I take a deep breath, consolidating my breath for the next question, “Five?” She nodded and smiled. Dude. Five stars? She has been Felipe's slave for six years. I cannot imagine. “You never tried to escape?!” My voice is clearly too loud. Her gaze suddenly turned panic, and she looked towards the door, but it was as if it would snap open and something terrible would happen. She hurried over to me and placed her fingers on my lips. I was stunned and motionless, waiting for the moment to pass. Her gaze reprimanded me and continued like that until she stepped back, shaking her head at me. She left the room before I could apologize or ask any more questions. Well done! "Fuck," I mumbled to no one. I thought of facing Eric's wrath within minutes of Celia leaving, but no one showed up. I wasn't allowed to leave the new room, Eric had made that clear
“Take the rag out of his mouth,” Celia ordered. She ambled over to Kid and ran her fingers through the boy's shoulder-length hair, lulling him into false safety before grabbing the blond locks and jerking his head back. “Damn it!” the kid shouted. He tried to break free from Celia's grip, but was caught by her tight little fist. Eric was impressed. “Does it hurt, Slave?” She hummed. There was laughter in the room. The kid's name is quiet. Behind his back, his fists were clenched and his arms stretched out under the ropes. Celia tugged even harder, exposing his entire neck. “Yes…Celia,” he said at last. Gradually, the melodious music playing became quieter until the whole room was left with gloomy silence. That sharpens the focus, every sound becomes an action. The room itself seemed to become a living being, breathing, vibrating, and hungry. Even Eric wasn't immune to the charms of a petite girl who was mastering someone twice his size. “Very well, Slave.” Felipe's voice was litt
