CAMILLE"…and release," the instructor, Madame Veronica, who I was handed to was hellbent on ripping my legs apart. We've been trying a split exercise for hours now. My whole thigh area hurt and I could barely even catch my breath."Hmm," she folded her arms. "When you said you didn't know how, I thought you were only trying to get out of work and prove stubborn. You're as stiff as a board. I haven't handled anyone as stiff as you in years." she cocked her head to the other girls who were taking turns to twirl on the poles.This was their morning warmup? They were so good. I could never be that flexible in just two days."What's going to happen to me now?" I asked. "I don't fit in. I can't…""That's not for you to worry about. Matteo makes all the decisions." her lips pulled in a smirk as she looked at my body again. I was still covered in hickeys from our encounter last."M-Matteo?" Was that his name?She rolled her eyes, "Classic Matteo to not even bother with an introduction. Well,
MATTEOI pulled the phone from my ear to stare at the caller ID again, making sure it was Vito who called and not someone else. Did he have a twin?Placing it back, I asked, "That's why you called?" "Yes, sir."Well, damn! Just what the heck did she do that made my loyal dog question my orders? "Your order was simple," was it her face? Did she cry? That cry face was beautiful and irresistible -- charming too seeing as how I fucked her in the alley without thinking."Pick her up and take her back to the house.""Yes, boss. I'm really sorry-"What did she have in that junk that she needed anyways? "Fine. Take her there and bring her back as soon as possible. Don't make me call you.""Okay, boss."I hung up, tossing the phone aside just when the door opened. I didn't remember hearing a knock but there were a few people who could do that and she was one of them. Uriel walked in, smiling at me as she shut the door behind her."I'm surprised you're here," she said, flipping her Ombre hair.
CAMILLE I didn't expect Matteo to agree. I had actually just asked with the intention he would refuse. So when Vito said he agreed, it was quite a shock. Just what kind of person was he anyways? The drive back home was a quiet one as I fixed my gaze out the window, watching for any familiar face that may be lurking around just lying in wait for me. Vito stepped out of the car with me. "I'm not letting you out of my sight so don't even think to try anything funny." I wouldn't even dare. The minute I turned my back to run, he would whip out a gun so fast and take me out. I guess that should be tempting enough to make me flee. Death. I've never feared it, but dying painfully and slowly would be unfair. I wanted the easy way out. "Okay," he followed me up the stairs and stood outside by the door, guarding as I walked in. The whole place was a mess, scattered like the previous night. I heaved a sigh in my own space. The absence of my father was mentally reliving for a little while unt
MATTEO It just had to be that cry face that had Vito going against my order. Standing before an almost trembling Camille, her wet eyes looked up to me and I saw relief. The tension eased out of her shoulders and I saw her actively searching my eyes. Each breath she took only calmed her down and I wondered the fuck why.How stupid was she to trust anything that looked like a hero? I bet in her little brainless head, she thought of me as her guardian angel.Well news flash! God wouldn't hire me after all the things I'd done to his precious humans. He'd send the devil after me instead and looking at her now, I was convinced he already did."Vito, get the car ready." She gasped, blinking confused at the sound of my voice. Her chest heaved and I caught movements happening beside her.The boy, whoever he was, reached for her hand to hold for whatever reason. I grabbed her hand and yanked her towards me, lifting my eyes just in time to meet his shocked gaze."Yes, boss."He had a boyish cha
CAMILLEThe car pulled over at the parking lot and he got down first, striding in like he didn't just drop more than ten dead bodies in the blink of an eye. How did he sleep at night?I stepped down from the car with my backpack over one shoulder and his words still playing in the back of my mind. When he had said that, I had no words. I could only hide my face and look away.The embarrassment was clearly on my face. Jacob and I had nothing but a platonic relationship even though everyone seemed to believe we were an item.Even his girlfriend was suspicious of us and she hated our friendship. They always said a man and a woman could never be just friends and in a way they were wrong… right but wrong.Did I know Jacob had a bit of feelings for me? Yes. It was strange at first. He was a cute guy and I was just… plain old me. Sure I got a few stares and was hit on a lot, it was just different with Jacob.He saw me. Not just as something to bang but I knew at some point before we develop
MATTEO"He didn’t have to send you all the way here," I scratched the itch on my stubble. The hairs were growing again. I should probably try waxing them but it hurts like my skin would be ripped off."Yeah, well, you weren't answering your phone," she shrugged, keeping her eyes on the road. "You know what happens when he can't reach you." she glanced at me, throwing a very flirty gaze like she had always done."He's paranoid," I turned away, ignoring her advances for the hundredth time. That shit she pulled back there in my hallway was disgusting. I couldn't wait to get home and wash off her touch."Well he has every reason to be. He's getting old and things are looking like they'll change. You and Dante aren't making it easy for him.""You sound just like him," she was taking too much of his cum in her mouth, that is, if he had anything left to give these days.Bianca was father's secretary, assistant, mistress, fuck buddy-- she was literally anything the old man wanted. She could b
CAMILLE I woke up to the ache first-- sharp and throbbing, running along my spine and settling heavy on my lower back. I tried to move but my neck groaned in protest, my legs felt cramped like they'd been twisted into unnatural positions. Just what did I do to myself? "Camille," the soft voice called again and I realized that was what woke me up. I opened my eyes to the bright room but her kind face smiled at me with concern and pity. "Oh dear, why didn't you go upstairs to your room?" I groaned as I pushed myself up, my joints screaming in protest. I was sore all over and something told me it wasn't just for falling asleep on the couch. I really pushed myself to my limit yesterday. "I didn't realise," that groggy voice didn't sound like me. I cleared my throat a few times, my eyes adjusting to the sunlight; too bright, too sharp. "What time is it?" Her eyes crinkled with a smile before she said, "As the boss would say, it's time to go to work." Shit! That's right. Just because
CAMILLE I shifted in my seat, the silence in the car growing heavy by the second. The hum of the car engine was the only sound I could listen to besides the ear bleeding silence but it did little to drown out my beating heart. The seats were comfortable, soft under my buttocks but if he could just stop staring at me then maybe-- just maybe I'd enjoy the ride. His stare was unwavering, he hadn't taken his eyes off me since we started the ride. "Where are we… going?" I asked after being on the road for so long. He could be taking me to harvest my organs for all I knew. After all, he was associated with Matteo. They called him boss. That puts them in the same line of business. "Wherever you want," he mused and I finally looked at him. His smile brightened but instead of being warm, it creeped me out. What was he thinking? "I want to come down," I tried but his smirk coupled with those piercing eyes told me that was far from what he wanted me to say. "How did you end up in Matteo's
MATTEO I pressed my foot harder on the gas pedal, my heart thumping in sync with the hum of the engine, each beat screaming her name. When one of my boys alerted me that the old man stopped by and worse, blew up my door and left with my guest, I stormed out of my office, boiling with rage. He better not lay hands on her! I'll come after him and his fucking son! “Get out of ten fucking way!” I screamed, gripping the wheels tight. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw was a blurred image of blood. Her, lying on the ground, beat up and her dress cut open. Fuck. I was struggling for my breath, the thought of her in danger sending my heart into overdrive. My chest tightened with an ache. Fuck all the traffic signs! I could deal with the cops later. Her soft voice pleading to be saved, begging for mercy, for him to stop— shit! I stepped on it! Harder, wishing the car would go faster and faster, open yet just fly. I pulled into the house, jumped out of the seats and Gareth waited
CAMILLEThe soft rays of the sun splattered on my face like a gentle kiss. I awoke with a soft sigh, blinking at the familiar room.I was alive. Far from what I was expecting. Why didn't God take my life if he didn't want a man like Matteo— I mean a monster like him— to have me?This wasn't a sign for us, it was one against us.I tried to stand but the weight resting over my waist proved a hindrance. I suddenly realized I was pressed against a hard chest from behind.A warm, living and breathing one. I counted his heartbeat, mine speeding up as I registered my surroundings.This wasn't my room at the club and it wasn't my pillow hugging me either from behind.This was a cuddle.A warm cuddle after rounds of sex.Oh my God! I tried to bite his dick off. All my sins played right before my eyes. I had no reason not to wake up dead.I tried to pull away when I suddenly felt it. I sucked my core in and there was an obstruction— a delicious one.He was still inside me.The awareness hit me
CAMILLE I tried to come up for air, my throat closed around him. He held me strong, keeping me there with a tight grip.“Do it again, I said,” he repeated. “And watch how that fucking beast reacts to whatever you do.”He bobbed my head on his length instead, not caring as I struggled to breathe. I had to claw at his hand, trying to beg for mercy, to be allowed to breathe.Pain bursts from my hair as he continued to fuck my throat. Heat pooled between my legs, betraying my physiological state.“I tried to fight it but look at this, you and I are made for each other.”No.“You're just like me, Camille.”Never.Far from it.“An outcast. Alone. Living in chaos with no one to call home.”I knew now where my home was. Not on this fucking Earth.“You wanted me, didn't you? Well now you fucking have me. ‘Matteo's girl’ is what you'll be and if we burn, we burn as one.”Those vows were making my heart race. He had it all twisted. That wasn't something to say to anyone at all.I didn't want to
CAMILLEGunshots shattered in the air and it followed with screams and grunts. I heard bodies drop but I squeezed my eyes tightly shut, afraid I was already in hell.I was in no pain, I felt no difference other than the fact that my soul was no longer with me. It felt like it bailed out on me.My heart had stopped as I waited for the end, but it never came, instead, silence was what filled the room.Then a voice.“Everyone out.”A low simple command, right in front of me. Slowly while trembling, I opened my eyes.The first thing I saw was the angel of death.Matteo, standing just a few inches away from me, his chest heaving with hard breaths. He looked shaken, rough and afraid. What could possibly cause him to look like this?His throat worked in a swallow, he turned to glance around and I did the same. The masked men were on the floor, unmoving and in a pool of their own blood.I recognized his second, the one who had a problem with me cleaning him up the other day. Luca, was it? He
CAMILLE“I don't think I can do this,” I finally confessed and turned to get away but Rebecca was quick to grab me. “Hey! You look gorgeous, just so you know.” That did not do a thing to calm my heart but it did pull a smile on my face which was snatched the minute I heard the crowd cheering for Angela. “Don't let that discourage you. Just go in and do your best. Look at those babies,” her eyes fell on my breasts. “You have so much, just jiggle it around and they'll love you!” Nodding, I said, “Jiggle my boobs. Got it! Anything else?” I was desperate for some advice and more desperate to get out of this alive. She giggled, “You know, I was just like this when I started but hey, these men will pay anything to see a woman dominate on that stage and you have a banging body-” It was nearing the end for Angela to get off stage as her music was coming to an end. My heart thumped faster and faster. Rebecca squeezed my hand back to the present, holding my gaze, “You'll do great. If it
CAMILLEA sharp knock echoed in my room, pulling me out of the space I had wandered in. The door opened and Rebecca poked her head in, “Really? You wanted me to come fetch you?”“What?” I was clueless for a moment before I realized I had actually dressed up for training and I forgot to go.“Shit. I'm sorry, I just completely forgot. I've been up all morning.”“Yeah, I wouldn't sleep too if Matteo came at me like that,” she said with understanding but the shame still hung on my head.“I'm sorry," I jumped out of bed, looking around for my outfit--"She said it's okay to rest, Camille," she sighed, her eyes finding mine. "I told her about last night."I froze, "Oh!" How was I supposed to feel hearing that? The last thing I wanted was for Matteo to disturb my work and now I was sure they all hated me… again. "About last night-""Don't," she invited herself in and moved to sit on my bed. "It wasn't your fault. It was hard for you too, I guess."Did she know that? Not quite. I mean a few m
MATTEOWhat am I doing?I didn't go about scolding any of the girls and getting engrossed in how their lips moved or getting mad over what they did. In truth, she could do whatever she wanted with anyone as long as she didn't hinder my business. These girls could get a life outside these walls if they wanted, they were all choosing to stay gumming lips with any of the girls.There was something concerning about the way she made me lose control. I was constantly fighting to be sane around this woman. It was an insane thought to want to lock her up in my room where only my eyes could see her.I felt her melt in my kiss, surrendering with a soft sigh and it was the sexiest thing I’ve witnessed all day. My cock twitched, violently coming to life at her smallest touch.My hands roamed her body, trying to get my fill of her and enough at the same time. If I gave in to my urges, I'd be balls deep inside her pussy, her hair in my grip and her ass bouncing on my cock somewhere in this room.I w
CAMILLETony's tongue thrust inside my mouth, his hands holding my face strong, making it difficult to pull away or stop this madness.Fear drummed in my heart as I struggled against him. The panic consuming and paralyzing my weak heart. The thud was powerful and loud in my ears, vibrating throughout my whole body.A wave of nausea hit me, sickening to my stomach and I almost gagged. Images of his kind smile and politeness shattered in my head and all that was left was a predator I didn't see coming.The street was empty. If I screamed nothing would happen. No one would hear me.I bit his tongue hard, unable to continue to feel his slimy tongue in my mouth and he flinched, pushing me off with a shout.I staggered, almost falling on my ass. Tony stared at me in disbelief and with wide eyes, shocked I'd pull a stunt like that."Camille-"I stepped out of his reach, shaking to my core when he tried to grab me."Shit. I'm sorry. I thought you wanted me too-""No," I hated that line. To he
MATTEO“It's not bad at all,” Loretta's squeaky voice and British accent caught my attention and I stopped scanning the room for a second.There were drinks on the table. What else was I looking for? I knew the damn place like I knew a woman's body. Why did I keep searching the room?Veronica should change the damn seats. They were uncomfortable against my ass.The spoiled thing had glued herself by my side. Who wears a sundress to a club? I was convinced she was just hellbent on putting up a decent reputation.“I heard you handpicked the girls.”“What about it?” I poured myself a glass of whiskey, swirling the cup before I brought it to my lips, scanning the room again.Where the hell is she? Isn't she supposed to be working and where did that guy go?“They're good,” was all she said. “That one is drawing a lot of attention.”Typical for Eloise. She's my best girl. Where did I rescue her from again? Fuck. It was so long ago but her debt had already been paid for years now, still she
