Game With The Mafia King 74
Nerthus The evening with Arawn and Danny had me falling back onto square one.Not that I had made any progress anyway.After lying to Owen about feeling sick and keeping the call short as well as having us reschedule a date to after Thanksgiving, I give up.Barricading myself in my apartment, I let my friends depart for their holidays with their families without even seeing them for the last time. I cancel our traditional dinner before they leave town for the festivities by telling them that I feel unwell.Absolutely crushed, I spend my days in bed, eating nothing but chips, pretzel snacks, and ice cream.And I actually start feeling sick.While I enjoy the occasional texts Owen sends me to check in on me, I absolutely hate my phone blowing off by Arawn calling me practically non-stop.And I soon have to recognize that I hate it because it pains me.Even with his newly named caller ID ‘Mr. Entitled Asshole’ he gets my heart to skyrocket. And as one day he stops calling me for like an

NerthusEven before the thought of passing under the table to sit away from him forms in my head, his groan gets my attention.“Is everybody alright?”Okay, Helen, now you are pushing your luck.“This is really good.” He says, without even looking at him, and after a few awkward seconds, she walks away nodding her head.Just as she is out of hearing range, he tilts his head at me. “If you change your seat again without my permission, I’ll shoot her.”I laugh, his face remaining unmoved. “You can’t be serious!” “What about the dinner with your friends?” He asks monotonously, and I pass my tongue over my teeth.“Where is my money?”He shakes his head, picking the bill out of his jacket again. Showing it to me by holding it up into the air, he throws it onto the table in front of me before he takes another bite.“My friends have families,” I answer him, pulling at the dollar bill, and unfolding it.“And so?” He asks, slipping out of his jacket to throw it on the seats in front of us.H

Nerthus My eyes widen as he stands next to a motorbike, handing me a motorbike helmet. “Here.” “What?!” “My men have families too, you know?!” I take a little step from one side to the other before I put the helmet on and get up behind him. “Hold on tight.” He instructs me, and I wrap my hands around his frame to stabilize myself on the bike. As we pass the city at a surreal speed, I clench my arms tighter around his body, scooping even closer. My thighs rub against his, and an indescribable feeling grows in my body, pooling right between my legs. Talking about fetish foreplay. Arrived at his place, he doesn’t even wait for the door to close, before starting to devour me. I could cry at how good his hands feel on me as he gets me out of my clothes and steers me onto the bed. “Fuck, how are you so wet already?” He smirks, making me moan as he plunges a finger into me. Undressing himself seemingly desperate to claim me, he looks down at me with lust-clouded eyes. “Don’t look

Nerthus“Yeah! Yeah! Just a moment!”I hear Jenna’s annoyed scoff as her muffled yell reaches my ear, not keeping me from pounding at her door.The door swings open, revealing an annoyed Jenna, whose expression morphs into worry immediately.“Amber, are you OK?”“I’m wired.” I whisper-shout, passing her with fast steps. “He has my apartment wired.”“Are you sure?”“Yes. Yes. He just answered a question I asked my living room.”“Oh, dear.” She sighs, making another knot into her bathrobe cordon.“Could… Could I stay the night?”“Sure.” She says in a high-pitched voice, and I sigh relieved.“Thank you so much.”“Don’t even mention it.”Sitting down on the couch, she goes to make us two cups of coffee and I throw my bag onto the floor. “How was Thanksgiving with your parents?”“Meh.” She answers, without turning to me. “It gets more difficult every time to hide my job, and I’m tired.”She wrinkles her nose as she puts down the cup in front of me. “I should be old enough to do what I want

NerthusI press a big smooch on her cheek after our breakfast and leave her warm apartment. I hug my coat closer as I walk back to my apartment and make a note to myself to call Luciana. Just as I’m thinking about what I am going to say to her, I pass my usual coffee shop, located just a few steps from my home.This must be a sign from heaven.Stepping into the heated cozy café, I smile as I see Lizzy about to froth milk for a customer. I wait patiently for my turn, and she welcomes me with a broad smile as she sees me.“Hey, Amber. How are you doing?” She asks starting to make my coffee.I step closer to the counter and lean on it. “I’m fine, thanks. Listen, you said you were looking for someone to help you out. Is this still the case?”“Yes,” she answers, nearly spilling the coffee she is making. “Sure. Are you interested?”Laughing, I nod. “Yes. I would really love to work here.”“Amazing! Let me get you some brochures, and if you give me a moment, we can talk about the details ove

Nerthus“Oh, you just unlocked a new fantasy of mine.” I giggle as Owen leans over the counter as I’m brewing his coffee.“Wait until you drink it. Maybe you will change your mind.” He straightens back up with a chuckle.“You underestimate the power of a fantasy, my dear. You could mix dirt into that, and it wouldn’t change a thing.”I snort at him grinning like an idiot, before I finally hand him his beverage. “Here you go, cute stranger.”“For the lady.” He smiles widely, passing me a 50-dollar bill, insisting that I keep the change.“Thank you, Owen.” I let my arms slump as I put the cash into my register and take out my tip.He checks his watch and groans. “I have to get going. Is our date still standing for tomorrow?”I nod flashing him a happy smile before we bend over the counter simultaneously so that he can press a kiss on my cheek. “I’ll pick you up at 8.”“Can’t wait,” I say, watching him storm out of the café.Lizzy appears next to me with a giggle. “That was an awful deep

Nerthus“Did you use to come here with your teenage girlfriend?” I ask with a giggle, and he looks out of the window, avoiding my gaze.But I can see his smirk.“Are you introducing yourself as Aria to everyone now because you know I hate the name?”I groan, slumping against the leather seat. “Come on! You have to stop answering my questions with one of yours.”He clears his throat as he shifts in his seat. “I didn’t have a teenage girlfriend, Nerthus.”“Why not?” I ask, getting a frown.“Did you?”I wrinkle my nose as I feel disgusted for some reason. “Touché.”His deep chuckle gets me to smile, and I lean my head against the leather as I turn towards him fully, pulling my legs up.He let me drive outside the city, and we reached a lookout point with a nice view over trees and a waterfall flowing into a river.I am quite positive that this is a spot for the kids to make out in peace, but until now, we seem to be alone.“So?” He asks, tilting his head at me, tearing me out of my thoug

NerthusI would walk to wherever you want me to.… embers“Huh?” My eloquent question, as I get dragged out of my train of thought, gets me a nice smile from Owen.“I was asking if you wanted a glass of champagne or if you preferred a rosé.”As if only reawakening from my trance, I notice only now that a waiter is smiling at me uncomfortably. “Oh, I’m so sorry. I’d love the rosé.”“Lovely,” Owens murmurs before he grabs my glass for me, thanking the bouquet waiter.“Everything alright, Aria?” He asks, causing me to nod repeatedly.“Sure,” I answer, putting my hand on his arm. “I am sorry. I had quite a bad shift today. I knew I should have taken a day off for this evening.”Today’s shift at the café has been exhausting for real, but not because it was particularly hectic. Not even the morning rush of customers was able to keep my mind off my night with Arawn and what he had said to me.First, I was convinced that I must have hallucinated because I was obviously ecstatic.But the more
