Chapter 5 : Virginity Vow
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Raya's POV
The wine is making me feel relaxed. I do not remember a time when I had a birthday celebration like this. There was no cake for my birthday after my father had died and Mr.Barlow had just ordered me the prettiest and tastiest cake I had ever eaten in my life. He even sang the happy birthday song for me. The appetizers and the main course had been delicious too. I had never eaten such scrumptious food before in my life or been to a restaurant as fancy as this one. I hope I am not looking like a complete idiot by gorging on everything that is put in front of me like someone who hasn’t eaten in a week. And oh my God the wine was so good. I used to always wonder what was the big deal about alcohol and why people drank so much. I had even taken a sip of the beer that my stepdad keeps drinking so often and I hated how it tasted. But this was delicious. I couldn’t compare it to anything else. It was not just about how it tasted. I was a bundle of nerves when I arrived here and now I am feeling like a confident and sexy young woman.
Maybe the wine was giving me confidence. I knew I needed a lot of confidence for tonight. I was terrified of what was to come. Was I going to sleep with this gorgeous man sitting across me? The thought was giving me goosebumps. But now that I have spent some time with him I am quite liking the idea of sleeping with him. Imagining his broad chest laying on mine and his long well-manicured fingers touching my sex. Ooohhh I had to cross my legs when I thought about it as I was feeling a strong tugging sensation at my belly. I didn’t know if it was the food, wine, or the naughty thoughts about Mr.Barlow which caused that. And when Mr. Barlow held my hand I felt my whole being awaken. All the buzz from the wine was gone and I was hyper-aware of the fact that his hand was touching mine. When his hands grazed against my lips, I felt a little wet in my panties and I was shocked. What was happening? Was I desiring a man so much older than me? He most certainly did not take an interest in a timid little girl like me. What was I thinking?
Then why did his gaze linger for a while on my lips? Why do his eyes keep darting all over my body? I hope to God that Mr.Barlow did not plan to gift my virginity to someone else. I was hoping with all my heart that Mr.Barlow was the one who would deflower me. If he can be so kind and delicate with a stranger he had just met and treat her to such a lavish dinner just because it was her birthday then he surely would be soft and gentle with a virgin for her first time. I had heard numerous stories from my girlfriends about how the first time is extremely painful. Girls complained of being sore for days down there when their boyfriends couldn’t wait to have sex with them. Only a couple of them explained that if the boyfriend was caring and took it slow then the pain would be less and it could even be pleasurable for the girl.
“Are you scared of me?” Mr. Barlow asked.
Quite the opposite Mr. Barlow. I desire you.
“No Mr. Barlow. You are too kind to me. Thank you for tonight” I smiled at him.
“Don’t thank me yet girl. You might hate me after tonight” he said “How did a girl like you get into a situation like this? Did you know that they were auctioning your virginity tonight”
I nodded and felt my cheeks flush. I was sure that I was looking like a beet at the moment.
“I am sorry I shouldn’t have been so blunt about it. But I am too curious. Don’t you have parents? Are they aware of what is going on with you” he went on.
“I do Mr. Barlow. Yes, they are very well aware. My mother and stepdad have consented to this. I have consented for it too” I said.
“Money problems?” he asked
I just nodded my head.
“How did a girl as pretty as you stay a virgin for so long? I am sure there must have been many boys throwing themselves at you” his curiosity egged him on.
“Because of my father,” I said and I could see his brows furrow with surprise.
“Not my stepdad who sold me but my actual father. He had me make a promise to him, a virginity vow. I vowed that I would stay a virgin until I found the right person. That I would offer my virginity as a gift to the man I would be marrying” I said.
“Wow. Do people still do that? And you obeyed your father and stayed a virgin for so long. Where is he now? Why didn’t he come and rescue you when you were sold for money” Mr. Barlow chuckled shaking his head. I could understand why he thought that.
“Because he is dead Mr. Barlow. That is why I was so helpless when my stepdad and mom emotionally blackmailed me into going away with these men. They said if I went with them then all the debts that my stepdad has borrowed from them would be waived off and considered paid. So I was just a pawn for them now. My stepdad was probably relieved that he could finally wash his hands off of me. My mother was also happy I guess that she didn’t have to bear my responsibility anymore. She could concentrate on my stepbrother and stepdad.
What else could I do? Who would help me? I thought that my stepdad would step into my father’s shoes and take care of me too but he had never liked me from the start and when the opportunity presented itself to get rid of me, he was only too happy.” I said bluntly. I was surprised that there were no tears in my eyes. I had cried too much yesterday and when I left home thinking about all this and how unwanted I felt but strangely when I vocalized the same to Mr. Barlow not a drop of tear escaped my eyes.
“I am truly sorry for everything that has happened to you dear child,” Mr. Barlow said. He strangely reminded me of my father at this moment. Strong, sweet, and caring.
“It’s okay Mr. Barlow. It is what it is. We all have to be brave and accept what life gives us. I have cried too much already. I don’t want to be all sad and mopey now. It is my birthday after all”
“Wow. Your optimism is infectious” Mr. Barlow took both of my hands in his palms. My hands felt so tiny in his hands. His palms were surprisingly soft for a man’s hands.
“I promise you little girl that I will never force you to do anything that you don’t want to do. I don’t go to these places but tonight I accompanied my cousin as he didn’t want to go alone. In fact, he was the one who placed the bid and bought you for me. You will be safe and well taken care of and you will have nothing to worry about. Do you understand me?” he said.
My head was spinning trying to make sense of everything that he was saying. What was he really trying to tell me? he didn’t place a bid on me and wouldn’t force me to do anything that I didn’t want to. So he wouldn’t sleep with me. I should be happy right. Yes, I should be. But what is there a strange sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach? Was I hoping that he would force me to sleep with him? Maybe I was. I was so ready to sleep with him but now he is saying that he wouldn’t and that he did not even bid for me. What did he want me to do then? I had so many questions to ask him but I felt like my stomach was twisting and turning and I might empty the contents of my stomach if I opened my mouth. So I just nod to everything he said and don’t utter a word.

Raya's POV The ride after the dinner was quiet. I opened the window and let the cool night air hit my face. It helped soothe my irate stomach. Once the car stopped I was awestruck by the sights. This was not a house. It looked like a palace. A huge ivory-colored mansion with gold-colored detailing stood out majestically against the night sky. A matching white and gold marble fountain at the entrance welcomed us. Wow, he is indeed filthy rich like I had assumed. As soon as we entered the door a butler and house staff were standing in a line welcoming us. I looked at the huge clock at the entrance. It was 10 PM and still, the staff was dressed immaculately in their uniforms showing no signs of tiredness or sleepiness. “Richard, please ask Mrs. Florentine to show Miss Raya here to the guest room and give her everything to make her comfortable.

The entire bathroom is done tastefully in walnut brown. Mr. Barlow is a sight to behold with his ripped abs and gorgeous tattoos on his chest. I was enthralled by him earlier in his black suit but that was nothing compared to how handsome he looked in his nude self. He climbs into the bathtub behind me. His hard chest and his even harder dick pressed against my back. His strong legs are on either side of me and he pulls me back towards him. I was on cloud nine. I still could not come down from the orgasm he had given me. My head was reeling. Was it all real or am I dreaming? And I had managed to pleasure him.

Maxwell Barlow's POV I look at the beautiful girl sleeping next to me, assuring me that last night was real and not a dream. I am still in a daze. I didn’t know if I wanted to kill or kiss Charles for last night. Who am I kidding? I should call Charles and thank him for doing what I would not have done. He saw right through me. I had felt an instant connection to Raya when she had walked into the spotlight. But I had convinced myself that my ex was the one and was not ready to move on even though it had been a few months since our breakup. Charles had tried to set me up with girls multiple times. Arranged double dates with friends of his girlfriend, tried to set me up with his friends, he had been my wingman and had tried to chat up many girls to try to get me to date again. I had never shown any interest. He had even taken me to brothels as a final resort and when I had not caught the bait h

He is standing by the stairs in an aqua blue suit. His light brown hair combed back. He smiles wide when he spots me and lets out a low whistle. I walk up to him and turn on the spot to give him a good view of myself in this dress. “You look gorgeous mon Cherie,” he says and kisses my cheek. I put my hand in his elbow and walk out of the door with him. It is 3 PM and the sunlight feels good. I look up at the early spring sun and soak up the warmth. It is a beautiful day to be out.&n

Raya's POV I can see all the women in the store looking at Mr. Barlow longingly. I couldn’t blame them; he was just so handsome that nobody would be able to take their eyes off of him. My heart was doing cartwheels knowing that such a desirable man was mine. I had made love to him and would continue to do so. The women here must hate me. I know I would if I were in their place. A middle-aged lady walks up to me and asks me if she could help me with anything. “Yes, please. I am looking for some panties and bras for myself” I tell her with a smile. “This way,” she says and doesn’t bother to return my smile. I walk behind her feeling a little uncomfortable. She pulls out a few high-waisted panties in beige and a few beige-colored sports bras and hands them to me. “This should do,” she remarks. This was not at all what I had in mind. I wanted sexy lingerie with lace and matching panties so that Mr. Barlow would

MAXWELL’s POV My blood was boiling looking at this woman’s face. I could not comprehend how and why people like her got into the service industry. Maybe she was here just for the money but it gave her no fucking right to be rude to a customer. And she had dared to be so rude to my baby girl that there were tears in her eyes. The one girl who I wanted to make happy, the girl I was falling in love with. I was ready to rip Irma’s face apart if that was what it took to make Raya feel better. Raya didn’t know anything about me. She only knew that I was rich but she had no idea that I was a part of the Mafia. I didn’t want to scare her, maybe a part of me was afraid of losing her. Jerry hurried over with Irma’s details. She was dating the owner of a café across from the street. She had acc

I ordered another glass of whiskey neat. I was already down a couple of pegs. The wife said she would prepare a lavish dinner for me but I told her not to wait for me. It was like shooting two birds with one stone. I was glad that Jack who had come to make us homeless that fated night had seen the potential in Raya. That girl always had been a pain in the ass. She was good for nothing and couldn’t even do a simple chore properly. I should be so thankful to Jack for taking her away from my hands. I was never going to get her back. It seemed like Judy didn’t care about what happened to her too. It’s not like Raya came out of her womb anyway. Her ex-husband already had a kid when he married Judy and had asked J

Raya's POV It was my worst nightmare. I had been in terrible situations before and being forced to do something against my will was nothing new to me.

It crushed my heart to see him in such a terrible situation. I cried and cried but the strong hands
Sold To Maxwell Barlow Chapter 26 No Wedding
Max's POV Shit! We are in deep trouble. I look at Raya and her face is a worried mess. She knows it too. What have I gotten us into? Why the hell did Xander Benson have to get married to Rossi's daughter and why did he have to be a lecherous old man like this? Amelia looks like she wants to kill Raya and me. Xander Benson was her husband and she was his new bride which meant that we were in deep shit. A new married man is like a puppet in the hands of his wife. I knew that he would not hesitate to decapitate me right here if she would ask him to. I had no answer to his question that would satisfy him. "No Xander. Dylan is not dead" I tell him. "Does he look worse than Rossi then?" he thunders on. "No. I was busy trying to rescue Raya and he got away. I don't know where he is" I mumble. This would not have been a big deal if Rossi was not Amelia's father. This would probably be just a story about me rescuing my helpless d

Raya's POVMax lets go of my hand. My breath gets stuck in my throat. I can't scream even if I want to. It is a prank. This surely is a practical joke being played on Maxwell by his friends. But no one is laughing and Max is tense. The woman is sitting beside a bald man whose face is hard like it has been carved out of marble."Darling, what are you doing?" he says to the woman who objected."I object Xander. This wedding cannot take place. Our Max cannot get married to this woman who is a cheater. She has brainwashed Max. She will spell nothing but doom to Max and to our family if she is allowed to marry Max" she goes on. By now it is clear that the bald man is Xander Benson. The Mafia Kingpin and the loving way that Xander Benson is holding her hand and her gaze is proof that she is his wife."Amelia my love. What has gotten into you? It is Max, it is our Max that you are talking about. He is no one's puppy. He is my most trusted man along with Ch

Another sleek silky wedding gown hung in the side of the room ready to be worn for the reception. He has managed to pull it all off in one day. The venue was Maxwell Barlow’s house itself.

Pink peonies and lilacs formed the floral arch and a lilac-colored carpet had been laid out on the runway for me to walk on. Still, there was a sinking feeling in my stomach, amidst the nerves an

Raya’s POV I am curled up in Max’s lap and I am so glad that he listened to me and agreed to let that man go. I know what Rossi did was heinous and I hated him for it. But I would hate myself more if I acted like an animal and punished him in a barbaric way for it. There is law and order in place for a reason and I did not agree with Max taking it upon himself to punish Rossi for what he did. He is used to being a mafia and does not believe in law and order but I just could not do it. I don’t know if he sensed it but somehow he had a change of heart and agreed to it and I was so grateful that he did. Would my life ever be the same again? I knew that I could never go back home.

I try to open the door and it is easy as the door is locked from outside. I unlatch the door and barge inside to notice that Raya is sitting on the floor naked and there are two welts on her back. An old man who is wearing only his underwear is standing in front of her and holding a belt in his hand. Raya turns to look at me when the door opens and as soon as she sees me she breaks down and runs towards me. I take her in my arms and hug her tightly while whispering in her ears. “I am sorry baby, I am so sorry” I try to calm her down between her sobs.

Did I open my mouth too early about who I was? Did I scare her away for good? The tension was too much to take. Benson was back from the honeymoon and wanted to have brunch with his close ones so that his new wife too gets to know everyone better. I wanted to take my dear Raya with me to the brunch too but she was still sleeping and looked like she needed the rest. I tried waking her up but she was too groggy and kept muttering in her sleep. She was running a fever too. There was no way she was going to be fit to travel in a helicopter now and get ready for Brunch in time. We were to meet for lunch in Paris. I signed why couldn’t Xander wait until he was back here in New York to have brunch where all of us were.
