On his way to the Aubert's residence in Le Marais, just a three-hour drive from town, Mario tried to get his mind off things.
But it was fucking hard.
Every now and then, he would let his mind drift back to the brief meeting he had, with twenty two-year-old sexy Belle.
He got smiles playing on his lips in all those moments, but the thoughts would not even stay for long.
What was he thinking running from home to live by himself?
He had thought that he would find peace, after years of living under his parents' control.
Now that had even been manageable, as he could well take a vacation all the time they upset him.
But not anymore, not after his mother canceled all his credit cards.
And when Annette's parents started to join in, forcing him to obey his parents and marry their daughter, he had had to take a hike, away from all of them.
"I hope Aurelia is safe." He thought to himself, despite it. He knew that even Annette's parents did not mean well for his family.
He parked his car a few metres away from the mansion-castle, one hour later.
Then, he stared at it for a long while, not believing that he had lived here all his life. It still looked the same.
But, all the time he lived here, he had been a puppet. A bloody puppet.
And for a moment, he considered turning back, even if it meant that he would never come back. Even if it happened that his mother had died in here.
"Mario?" He heard someone call his name, unfortunately, and he ducked quickly under the seat.
"Holy shit." He cussed under his breath. He had hoped he would get some time to brace himself.
"Mario? Oh My goodness, Mon fils, you came!" It was Caroline, and she was wearing a black dress. Her eyes seemed to water every now and then, and she tugged at it with the hem of her dress.
Mario's heart missed a beat, as he got down from his car, and followed her in.
"Is Maman all right?"
But she would not answer him. As controlling as his mother was, Mario wanted her alive. He in fact wished that he had a better relationship with her.
He was quietly led into his mother's room, without a word, and Caroline went out, leaving him in there.
Mario sat on her bed, and tried to relax. He had lived without his mother for over two years, yet he did not know how to feel, if she ever died.
"Maman?" He called, looking around her flamboyantly furnished room. He tried to unlock the door, but Caroline had locked it from outside.
"Maman, are you safe?" He cried, sucking in the scent of her bedspread. Aurelia was nowhere in sight. Most of her bags were not hanging down her rack as usual, and her shoes were kept away already.
Even her bedspread looked different.
He waited there for over ten minutes, kneeling at her bedside and crying his eyes out.
He had not got any call that she had been unwell, or anything. He wondered what happened to her.
He wondered why Caroline was not saying anything, and why no other person was in the house.
Mario was still crying when Caroline opened the door and walked in with a tray of three-martinis.
It was Mario's usuals two years ago.
He started drinking it from home, everytime he was upset.
"Drink this, my son." She said, pulling him up from his position. "You need to cheer up."
Mario rubbed his eyes, and took one of the martinis, then the second, and the third, never stopping to catch his breath.
"I am happy you came. It's been a long while...you look thinner too."
"No, I don't." He argued, looking around the room. "I look sad. Because I don't know why I'm here, or why I'm crying."
He should ask her what the bad news was, but he didn't want to hear it.
Maybe Caroline understood this too, because she was not making any attempt to talk about it.
"Do you have a job? Do you live alone? What has happened to you in the past couple of years?"
She chattered, as if everything was okay.
"You should come back home, Mario. There's no place like home. We really miss you."
He started to feel lightheaded, and he held the bed for support, looking into his mother's handmaid's blue eyes.
"Caroline, you haven't told me what happened. What's the bad news?" He asked, his eyes shutting down slowly. He got up, to intensify his question, but he staggered backwards, and almost fell over.
"Where is my mother?" He asked, quietly but firmly.
"What do you think?" Caroline fired back, getting up to meet his shoulders. "Relax, Mario, and let the drug work." She was giggling mischievously, and he immediately realized his folly.
He had been tricked by his own family, and he had fallen for it, like a fool.
It was not their first time, but this was a straw that broke the camel's back. How could he have fallen yet again?
Mario rubbed his forehead and tried his best to steady himself, but it was not working.
"You should not move too much if you want to steady yourself, L'amoureux."
"What is going on, Caroline? You said there was bad news!" He yelled, sending tiny waves of shock into his brain. He had to kneel on the floor and shake it off with a few breaths.
"Oh. There's no bad news. Aurelia is fine. Everyone is fine, don't worry." She said, laughing mischievously. He should have known.
They were no good.
"Lying bitch." He cussed, above his breath, but she laughed again.
"Your mother went on a business trip, I promise." She laughed yet again. "You are only here because I brought you here."
"So, you...you tricked me?"
By this time, Mario was breathing erratically, and grunting on the marble floor. He had trickles of saliva pouring down a side of his mouth.
He tried to talk, but he couldn't. He could barely see well, and he had a surge of painful heat seep into his cock.
It was weird, but the drug, whatever it was, was working super quickly. "Caroline can't possibly be attracted to me, she's almost my mother's age." He thought, wondering who put her up to it.
He had trusted her, over his own blood.
She had been the one who first introduced martinis to him, then he got addicted on his own, much later.
Now, she was playing the villain.
If he ever got out of this mess, he would never let himself go near anything that had martini in it. Including home.
He lifted his head and saw her taking a call in the corner of the room. "It's time, madame. You can come over now."
Barely five minutes later, someone walked in, with an air of majesty. She was dressed in a transparent, blue dress, that hugged her lower body perfectly well.
Apart from the dress, she had nothing else underneath. Her full breasts jiggled with every step, and her perky nipples threatened to seep out of the tightness of her dress.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she threw Caroline a huge envelope, and asked her to leave them alone.
"Oui, Madame. Have fun." Caroline left immediately after giving a quick bow to the lady.
"Mario." She called, after Caroline left.
She bent down to his level, and brought his face to look at hers. "It is me, the love of your life."
Mario stared into her face, almost totally unaware of his surroundings or the figure before him.
"You are so hot, chéri." She said, flashing him a mischievous smile. "You are hotter when you are submissive, like this."
Mario grunted weakly and looked out the door. He was losing it.
"Belle?" He whispered, his voice strained.
"What? Non, je ne suis pas Belle." She scoffed, helping him to his feet. "Or did you mean I'm pretty? Yes, Of course I am." Her eyes were teary, as she watched him go limp in her embrace.
"Poor boy." She said. "I am sorry I had to bring you back like this. It was the only way." She kissed his mouth, and waited for his reaction, but he remained there, like a robot, staring into her big brown eyes.
"I love you, Mario. Why won't you acknowledge it? I am the only one who does. Not Belle, not any of those girls you fuck every night."
She took him to the bed, and made him lie on it. Then, she got on top of him, and tugged at his shirt.
"Belle." He said again, softly, like a plea, but she ignored him. This time, she knew he wasn't calling her beautiful.
"You are at Annette's mercy now." She laughed painfully, slowly pulling off his shirt. "I would do anything to have you be mine, Mon chéri."
She stared at his bare chest and ran her fingers on it. He did not flinch or move, but he never took his eyes off hers.
They looked dead- those eyes, but she chose not to see it that way.
"Still sturdy, as always." She moaned, shutting her eyes, and letting herself feel her skin on his.
"It's going to be fun. I am at my most fertile right now, so, give me a child, Mario. Maybe a child will convince you."
A few tears rolled down her face, but she ignored them.
She slowly began to trace her hands from his chest downwards. She stopped when she reached his hardness. She watched it shoot out of his pants, and licked her lips seductively.
"I want you, Mario. As much as I did two years ago, and at the time we first met. I want you just as bad. Tu n'as aucune idée." She cupped her hands around it, and stroked it lovingly. He winced under his breath, but could not do anything to stop her.
Matter-of-factly, he could not even move his own body.
She stopped carresing him, and then unbuckled his belt, and pulled his pants all the way down.
She grunted as she did so, because his bulkiness made them a little tighter at the hips.
"Fuck, Mario, tu es si sexy."
As soon as she was done getting him naked, she pulled off her dress in a twinkling of an eye.
She jumped on him once more, and looked into his face for a moment. "It feels like a dream. I thought I could never have you again."
Her legs shivered beneath her, and she knew what it meant. An impure need was burning within her, an emptiness crying so bad for a filling.
She took his finger and rubbed it on her cunt. She moaned when she slipped it in the first time, and cried when she put in one more finger, and fingered herself deeper.
It was too much to bear.
"Ma-rio, s'il te plaît, arrête." She begged him in French, as if he were doing those things to her on his own volition.
She finally stopped to watch his reaction, ten minutes later. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were shut tight, as if tortured. He also had tiny beads of sweat gathering on his face.
Horrific.
As soon as she recovered from her euphoria, she started to ride him. Slowly because he was grabbing her hand, pleading with his eyes that she stop.
"Ann...Annette...Annette?" He cried, weakly, her butt bouncing over his full erection, creating a slapping friction under the sheets. She felt for him, but she was not willing to leave him, until he cummed in her.
It was crazy, but she did not care.
"Be quiet and preserve your energy. I will be done soon. You only need to cum for me."
It was only a matter of seconds before Annette's wish was granted. She took him inside of her completely, and whimpered as she felt everything that came out of him, rush deep into her core.
By the time she got off him, he had already gone flaccid. She laid beside him and caressed his sweaty face.
"I'm sorry." Annette cried, "I'm sorry, Mon chéri." She jumped off his limp body after a while, and walked into his mother's million-euro bathroom.
He was hurting badly- she knew, but she did not know what to do about it.
It was going to take another hour for the effects to wash off him.
"If only you had obeyed your family, I wouldn't have to take you by force." She said, amidst her tears. She did not regret making him sleep with her. Only thing she regretted was having to do it that way.
Annette sat in Mario's mother's tub, naked, and cried her eyes out. She did not understand what she felt for him, but she knew it was strong.
So strong that nothing could stop her now.
She savored the feel of his fullness in her, as she felt the water run on her supple skin. It was the first time she had raw sex with him. He had always used protection during their good ol' days.
It felt like he was still inside of her, even after washing herself. It was dirty and relaxing and painful all at once.
With her rollercoaster of moods, she remained there for the next half an hour, hoping he would have woken up as himself, before she got back in the room.
"No, it is better if he doesn't find me here." She muttered suddenly, shaking her head. She wriggled out of the bathtub, minutes later, and walked back into the room.
He was still sleeping soundly, and his heartbeat was becoming more and more even, by the minute.
Annette heaved a sigh of relief and kissed his forehead. "I hope you don't hate me for this." She whispered.
Making sure that all evidences were cleared, she dressed up quickly, and went out of the building.
Roughly two hours later, Mario jerked awake, drenched in his own sweat. It was getting dark outside. He tried to get up, but he fell back on the bed. His neck was hurting, and he did not know why. "What am I doing here?" He soliloquized, and helped himself off the bed. Then, he slowly began to remember why he was here. Annette had called him first, and then Caroline. And he had driven all the way from Rue de la Folie.."Bad news..." He thought, flipping off the bedspread from his body. He walked out into the living room, and shouted Caroline's name. But, no one answered back. "Caroline!" He shouted. He had a mild headache that rested in his forehead. "Caro?"He heard footsteps walking in through the door, and when he turned around, he came face to face with his own mother, Aurelia. She was holding a bag, and dressed in a white jumpsuit. She had two maidservants by her sides. One of them was Caroline, and..she looked different. Faintly, he recollected that she had been wearing a
It was already effing dark when Mario arrived at his apartment in Rue de la Folie. It had drizzled for a while, and his hair was damp when he went into the bathroom. "Oh Hey man!" It was Jack, and he was in a pair of shorts, with a vacuum cleaner in one hand, and vintage wine in another, like he owned the place. "Oh, Jack, you are back?" He said briefly, and snatched the bottle of wine from his hands. He downed a generous quantity and walked straight into the bathroom. "How did you not see me when you walked in?" Jack asked, helping him with his towel. "I was beginning to think you died somewhere and your ghost came back." He had a laugh threatening to jump out of his lips. "You are bathing without a towel too?" Mario sighed, and took it from him. "I just have a lot going on right now. Ce n'est pas drole." "Don't speak French to me, you know I'm an English man." He said, chuckling, "Well, what is going on with you man? You can tell me, yunno."but, Mario was already in the showe
But she did not disappear like he expected. She stopped before him and waved her fingers in his face. "Look who's here again!" She shrieked, and Mario felt his knees giving way to the ground. Her voice was ringing in his head, and it started to echo in his stomach. "Belle?" Mario gasped, but the woman shook his shoulders violently, and that immediately jerked him back to reality. "Sorry, I ..I thought.." He stammered, turning away towards the direction he came from. The moment he knew it was not her, he started running away."Hey! Wait!" The woman whom he deemed rather familiar followed him. "You know me, don't you? Bianca...from the other night, remember?" Mario turned to her when she would not stop shouting his name. "I don't remember fucking you, Bianca." Biana chuckled and sighed, trying to suck in her ragged breaths. "Well, you have not fucked me yet." She said seductively, "I was talking to you at the bar two nights ago... I asked if you could understand English." Mario st
Mario was dumbfounded when he got to Bianca's. Hers was a rather exquisite place. He was beside himself with unbelief when he followed her in, and settled on her plush sofa. "You like what you see?" She asked, laughing mischievously, "Wait until you see something better." She flung her shoes in the air and walked into the kitchen."Come here, Mario. I don't exactly know your favorite drink." Like a determined fool for Belle, he got up and answered the woman's call. There was a wet bar in there for serving drinks, and Mario gasped. Hers was a luxury home, almost as exquisite as his family home back in Le Marais. "Just what are you?" He asked, leaning on the wall by the door. "Simple. Just a woman who goes after what she wants." She started, pulling out all shades of alcohol. "That's what Belle is not." Mario ignored her last comment, and touches the bottles of drinks. "Why do you go to the bar when you have so many drinks in here?" Bianca was quiet. She asked him, with her eyes,
Mario stopped in the middle of the road, his eyesight dimming gradually. From a corner of his eyes, he could see a shadow following him. For some reason, it felt like he was in some type of nightmare. "Jack?" He called. "Is that you, Jack?" Deep down, he knew Jack would never follow him down here. He did sleep with girls a lot, but he must not know Bianca, or so he thought. "Well, whoever the fuck you are, you had better stop following me." It stopped when he did, and moved when he did. He was only a few metres away from Bianca's, and it was already half past 10. "Shit." He cussed, wiping sweat off his brow. His jeans were still a little loose since he had left his belt at Bianca's. His phone was buzzing in his pockets too, but he simply stared at it with disgust. "Fucking liar." He mumbled, repeatedly. "Why does everyone have to be a fucking liar?" Mario wondered if he should run as fast as he could, or go back in the direction he came. He tried to walk away, and he noticed a
Jack was almost rounding a bend that led out of the apartment when he remembered that he must have burnt Belle's letter. "Fuck," He cussed. He used to think that the biggest problem anyone could have was being homeless and hungry, but now he realized money was not even everything. If you aren't homeless or hungry, you could still be facing some tough life issues that you can't talk about. His mind drifted briefly back to when he lost some money to a poker bet, quite a big amount of money, but nonchalant as he was, he came home acting like all was well, and lying to Mario about not being paid at work. Not that he didn't care about losing six thousand dollars, but he didn't like the idea of his only friend assuming him to be a total failure. "Fuck me. I am not even a good influence to him." He chuckled wryly, and totally unapologetic about the whole thing. Still, he wished he could do something to help his best friend. The only thing he knew Mario to like was women, but it was a fu
She carefully slipped off the short see-through robe she had on. Then, she went up to Mario, and on her tippy toes, she extended her tongue to his earlobe, earning a moan from him. "You are so good at this." He mumbled, lifting her onto his chest. "You're just like her, a good-girl on face value, a baddie at heart." Jack shook his head from side to side, and pulled his friend aside from the voracious woman's hands. "I need to borrow him for a minute." He told her, then he dragged him outside. She shrugged and waited, her arms on her bare breasts. Mario's shorts tugged at his bulging cock as he got dragged by Jack. He knew that he was doing the most insane thing in the whole wide world, but he liked to care about the only things that mattered..."At the moment. I only want to care about what matters right now, and that is us going into that room and drilling the hell out of that damsel, okay?" He whispered back. "I did not want to sleep around tonight, but once I heard her name, oh
Twenty five hours later, Jack was back at the apartment, watching it from a distance and shaking his head, because it had now become a crime scene. He could not believe his eyes.He had not even noticed that his car- the one he shared with Mario had been dismantled by whoever attacked Bianca. Just yesterday, the three good-for-nothings were arguing about the situation at hand- Belle or no Belle, and now the one who was captured by them- Bianca, was nowhere to be found. Once he ran into five different hospitals and she wasn’t in any, he had given up, checked in an hotel, and texted Mario all about it, because he was not taking his calls. Then, he sat for twenty four long hours asking himself how stupid he could be, and waiting to report her missing. “I could have plucked his hair for an evidence ,” He thought, his mind retracting back to the precious encounter with the strange man. “or chased him at least.” But stupidly instead, he had run off to all hospitals that came to mind,
Jack shook his head, and said, "What the fuck? I didn't say that. You don't even know Bianca." Belle threw her head back for a while and pointed at him, "I got you good. I was teasing!" Jack sighed, his confusion fading away. She leaned in, her breath warm against Jack's ear as she whispered, "You seem tense." She muttered, her words sending shivers down his spine. "Don't worry about anything, baby. You're safe with me." Jack's heart raced as he looked into her eyes, captivated by their intensity. In this moment, she was offering him comfort in the most unexpected way. "Why do you look so startled?" She asked, looking closely into his eyes. "Nothing...you just reminded me of her." He said, shaking off the memory of Bianca's brutal murder, "She used to tell me the exact same words." "What words?" She asked warmly, breathing onto his neck. " 'You seem tense'. Those words." He said, peering briefly into her opened laptop. As Belle moved closer, his worries began to fade away. He felt a s
Jack inched closer to her, his hands clasped tightly together as he recounted the unsettling events that had been unfolding in his life. Belle listened intently, her eyes narrowed in concentration. "You need my help?" She asked silently. "Yes, babe. I received a warning from my stalker sometimes ago," Jack said, his voice filled with unease. "They told me to leave what belonged to them alone. But I have no idea what they're talking about. I haven't taken anything from anyone." Belle leaned forward, her expression serious. "That's puzzling," she said, tapping her fingers on the table. "It seems like this person is trying to intimidate you into silence, but their motive is unclear. Have you made any enemies recently, or stumbled upon any sensitive information that could have triggered this?" Jack racked his brain, trying to think of any recent events that could have led to him being stalked by a wanted criminal. "I can't think of anything," he said, frustration evident in his voice. "I
Once he was gone, she slipped her phone out of her bra, and brushed some blood off her face. There was no point showing this part of her to the world; it was dangerous for her as well. "I will deal with you, Louis O Cornell. Once I'm done sucking you dry, I am gonna kill you with my bare hands." She muttered to herself, struggling to keep her eyes open. Her head was hanging hard, and her heart thumped in her chest. She gripped her phone tightly, making sure it doesn't slip out of her shaky fingers. Her breaths were coming in short gasps as she fumbled to dial Jack's number. She had never been so helpless in her life. Fine, she wasn't afraid of him. She was only afraid of the fact that if she wasn't careful, he could ruin her before she got a chance to. "Jack," she whispered into the phone, tears streaming down her face. "I need you right now..." "Belle? Are you okay?" Jack's voice was urgent. "No, I'm outside my house... I can't move, I'm hurt," Belle's voice broke. "He came back...he
"What the fuck? You don't tell me what to do, Belle," The voice came from the other end of the line, "I tell you what to do instead. Don't try to twist things now." Belle brought the phone to her other ear and sucked in some breath. "I am warning you again. Do not touch him." She muttered, gritting her teeth and drumming her fingers on her thighs. "Or what?" He asked, his tone getting gruffer by the minute. Belle rested her back on the washing machine, peered through the window before bringing her voice to a hush, "Leave him the fuck alone or be ready to face the music." The man from the other end chuckled softly, and with a sarcastic tone, he asked, "What are you going to do? Report me to the cops? Come on, Belle, we both know you can never do that, not after everything..." "Shut up, motherfucker." Belle fired back at him, dropping one of the spray bottles in the process. "He fucks you real good, doesn't he?" He muttered back, chuckling at his own words. "You know what? Why don't I c
Jack's heart skipped a beat as Belle walked through the door. He had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, and now she was finally here. He tried to hide the unease in his voice as he greeted her. "Hey, where have you been?" he asked, trying to sound nonchalant. "Out for a walk." She responded, but there was a shopping bag in her hands. "Sleep well?" She asked, deliberately avoiding his gaze, "I didn't think you would be up by now." "What do you mean?" Jack tried to reach for her, but she flinched. "I mean...you slept late, so I thought you'd be asleep for much longer. Hope you are feeling better?" She said, pulling out some bottles of spray from her shopping bag. She still hasn't looked at him by now. Jack pinched the space between his eyebrows and swallowed. "Can you at least look at me, Belle? I feel like I offended you last night." She lifted her gaze to meet his, immediately his words tumbled out of his mouth, "Offend me? What could you possibly do to offend me, babe?" She
A stack of old clothes were kept in there, and Jack sneezed twice in only a minute of being in there. "Who is there?" He muttered, switching on the lights. He sniffed around carefully, but there was no one in sight. Just pure silence. He stumbled upon a red hood lying on the laundry basket. It was lying on top of several other old-looking clothes. He bent down to pick it up because it looked eerily familiar. His eyes widened as he examined it closely, noticing a tear on the left side and a trace of blood on the edge. "I have seen this somewhere." He thought. "His mind spun with questions as he tried to recollect where he had seen that red hood. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound, and his heart leaped into his throat as he realized that Belle was awake and had entered the laundry room. He quickly turned around, hiding it behind him, but he couldn't shake off the feeling of suspicion that clouded his mind. "Oh Belle, you are up?" He smiled, moving an inch closer to her, still with his
Jack watched her drift back to sleep before he got up. He was going to lazily look around the house, and also make sure the intruder was gone. Once he was sure she was deeply asleep, he closed the windows properly and proceeded to walk out of the room. But he did not open the door. "I will be right back, love." He whispered, kissing her cheek briefly. This time, she did not stir Jack sat at the desk in the corner instead, and let his eyes adjust to the dim lighting in the room. The room still reeked of sex, and something else- a strong smell of blood that he had not noticed until now. Could it be from the spot she bled from when the intruder attacked her? He stared at the sleeping woman on the bed, and he noticed the spot was dried up already. She did say she was a vampire. "I'm a little spooked." He said to himself, but laughed it off. It was half past 12 in the midnight, and his stomach rumbled aggressively. That must have been what kept him up. Either that, or his mind. He increase
Jack kissed the nape of her neck as he tucked her into bed, like he would his younger siblings many years back. "Have a nice sleep, sleeping beauty." He whispered, watching her smile back at him. With her eyes still shut, she grabbed his left thigh all of a sudden. The action was so spontaneous that he flinched. Sometimes, she was a challenge like that. "Don't go anywhere, Jack. Just lay down with me, okay?" She whispered, like a little whiny bitch, or a clingy white angel, whatever worked. Jack simply nodded, and tried to pull her fingers off his thigh because her fingers were digging deep into his flesh. "I'm not going anywhere, Belle." He whispered back, and she immediately retracted her fingers. It was like a fairytale, or something straight out of a fantasy romance novel-the way he touched her and spoke to her, and every bit of reaction she gave back. "I hope this beautiful thing we have going on will last. I know it's too soon to say that, but yeah, I got it off my chest." Jack
Her kitchen was a small but modern one. Everything-the cutleries, pots and shelves were arranged neatly and in an admirable order. "You've got a nice kitchen," He commented, his eyes darting around for a suitable spot for bending her over. "Fuck! It's so serene and neat I feel like we shouldn't-" He stared at her blank expression and understood it at once. "Okay, fine. I will do it." She shook her head from side to side, and tugged at his shorts, "Come here, daddy. I want you to bless the walls with your cum." She dragged him towards the extreme of the kitchen, and knelt before him. "I'm about to have a delicious meal." She mouthed, putting a finger over his hardness. Jack gritted his teeth as if to say 'just do it already.' "Stop teasing me now, Belle." He said out loud. "I can't-" The windows were open in such a way that the people in the house next door could see them. Even the lights were still on, but neither of them seemed to care. She let her hands fondle his entrance for a bit
