LilianaI stare up at Heath and remember all the times that I wish he had seen me as a woman when we were younger, and now, here we are. He sees me as a woman who he wants to teach, but does this mean that he likes me that way, or is he only trying to be nice? "Do you want to teach me?" I ask my own question. His dimples poke out as he grins that boyish grin that I've always loved. "I would love to teach you this and so much more if you'd let me." He caresses my cheek, and I lean into his hand. "Let's forget the movie for now," he says as he takes my hand and pulls me up from the couch. I know exactly what he's thinking and I don't know if I'm ready for that just yet, and I tell him so. "Heath, I don't know about the rest. At least not yet." "It's okay, Lily. There is no rush for all that. Let's go to the bedroom and get comfortable, and I will teach you the basics while we wait for the food to arrive.""O-okay." I let him pull me into his room.I've been sleeping on his couch the
JarekIt's been a whole fucking week, and Liliana has somehow disappeared. How one simple girl can fall off the radar as she did is beyond me. Yeah, she pawned off the bracelet, but that asshole only gave her a measly five hundred dollars, where I had paid four grand for it. I'd thank him because without the money that she should have gotten for it but didn't, she won't get too far, yet I want to beat the fucker for swindling my pauper.However, even without the money, Liliana has still been able to evade me. She has to have someone helping her—I'd bet my life on it, but who the hell could that be? My pauper has no friends.Scrolling through my email, I come across one from Carl that I never opened. The subject line says, Inheritance. How the fuck did I miss this? I guess having my mind on my pauper all week, had me forgetting all about my other issue. With Carmen gone all week, it's been quiet at the house, so I never thought twice about the inheritance shit.As I scan the email's co
LilianaI wake up and stretch. I've been sleeping in Heath's bed ever since that first night we were intimate. It's been about two weeks, and I still haven't let him take it all the way; I'm just not comfortable with it yet.It's still early, so I'm surprised that I find it empty when I look over to his side of the bed. Heath never rises so early; he's a late sleeper. Throwing back the covers, I hug myself against the slight chill in the air as I pad my way to the door.I'm dressed only in one of Heath's heavy metal rock band t-shirts, and my feet are bare. When I come down the hallway, I can only hear the muffled sound of Heath's voice. Smiling, I wonder who he could be talking to other than himself, but when I hear him say my name, I slow down until I'm just by the living room doorway."Yeah, I've been working with her. Lily's turning into a real porn star. Her cherry will bring in a shit ton of money when we're ready." There's a long pause, and then his next words clarify any confu
Liliana4 Years LaterI'm sitting outside my makeshift house with two of my neighbors as we play a game of cards. We usually do it when none of us are out trying to earn money. The two of them panhandle all day, whereas I try to stay out of the public's eye.My lack of a birth certificate or proof that I was, in fact, born here makes it hard to get a real job. I get it, I probably could have gone to the courthouse, but the loops I would have needed to go through because Heath had taken my ID just didn't fit into my timeline. I hadn't expected to stay here until I started seeing flyers with my face on them being put up all around town. That's when I knew I needed to burrow deeper into the parts of town that decent people would never venture into.I wouldn't say Heath Richards was decent, but I know he wouldn't have looked in the dilapidated building I hid myself in for that first year of hiding. Thoughts of hitchhiking to the next town had crossed my mind, but then I'd have to be seen
Jarek"You will give me what I want—you are mine to do with as I please, or have you forgotten the contract you signed? I don't keep you here for you to do what you want. You are mine until I say, so remember your place!" I shove Sasha away from me, annoyed that she isn't living up to my expectations, just like all the others…an utter disappointment and a colossal mistake on my part.I found this submissive in one of the many gentlemen's clubs I own and frequent; she was supposed to be fairly innocent, or so I was told by her Dom. I was duped. I want a woman that I can mold into the perfect little puppet for me, and Sasha is far from it. Yeah, she's good in the sack and can play the part of a perfect sub when it serves her needs, but she's stubborn to a fault."I'm sorry, Master. I will be better!" she begs on her knees like the good whore that she was trained to be, but I'm so over it."Get the fuck out before I throw you in the cage and put you on display." I knew that threat would
LilianaI knew the day would come when I would see Jarek again. The tabloids do not do him justice. If I thought he was handsome in high school, he's devastatingly beautiful now. Only, there's a hint of something just below the surface that I can't quite pinpoint.I remember that I once said he was the devil, and he just confirmed it. Why would I involve myself with someone like that? He's part of the Mafia, for Christ's sake, but—I can't help thinking about that itty bitty part of him I saw flash through his eyes when he looked me in the eye. It was almost as if he was pleased to see me.I must be wrong, though, because he was the bane of my existence years ago; I doubt he's changed all that much."Do you mind telling me what you were doing being dropped off by that fancy car from earlier?" A raspy voice behind me makes me jump, and I spin around to see Fran smirking at me."It was nothing, really," I rush out.Fran leans into me and, for my ears only, says, "If you're turning tricks
JarekMy pauper is a virgin?Well, well, Liliana was meant to be mine after all. Four years and she's remained untouched—it's unfathomable to me. She's always been beautiful. Even when I found her caked in dirt, her beauty still shined through it all.I gaze at the woman before me, with her baggy jeans and oversized shirt. Her thin, dingy jacket helps hide her body from me, but I'm not daft. The bone structure in her face and delicate-looking hands tells me that I'll find a thin body under it all—maybe a little too thin for my liking."Hmm, tell me, pauper… how long have you been living on Sunset?" I can't bring myself to say the word homeless.She lifts her chin defiantly and answers, "Four years, Sir."So, she's been here, under my nose, this whole time."Answer this question, and I will grant you your stipulation. Was I that bad that you needed to run from me?" I reach my hand out and caress a finger down her dirt-free face. "I would have taken care of you."I watch as she swallows
LilianaTo say that I’m surprised by how well Jarek knew me back in high school would be an understatement. Only now am I learning that he was more than just a bully… he was a full-blown stalker.The moment I stepped into the suite of rooms that Jackson had shown me, I had gotten the feeling that the butler’s boss had been waiting for me to turn up. There’s no way Jarek was able to design this room in my favorite colors of cream and moss green, as well as stock up on all my favorite toiletries in less than twenty-four hours.Was he that obsessed with me?Regardless, the accommodation is worthy of royalty, and I can’t believe this is where I’ll live for the next year. It no longer matters what happened in the past because I’ve signed my life over to the devil. What will be, will be—I just hope that I survive my time with the Mafia Boss.I’m just stepping from the ensuite, freshly bathed when there’s a knock on my door. I open it to find Jackson standing on the other side.“I was sent t
Liliana"Start talking," I order Jackson once he walks me back to my room."I don't know what you mean, Liliana.""Why didn't I know about Seth? Better yet, why did I not know you swung for the other team?""You're too nosey for your own good," my friend grins. "If I'm being perfectly honest, it's because it's nobody's business."I gasp and feign a hurt look. "I thought we shared everything; you're all I have here in this hell, so I live vicariously through you."Jackson gives me a look as if to say, "Really?""What? Did you think I would judge you?"Sighing, Jackson pinches the bridge of his nose. "No, I didn't think that. I just don't go around talking about my personal life. And to be perfectly clear, I swing for both teams. I appreciate what both sexes have to offer."Raising my brow in surprise, I grin. "That's kind of hot, Jackson."At that moment, my phone vibrates in my back pocket, and I pull it out to see a message from the devil himself. He never messages me, so I find it o
Jarek Finding Liliana upstairs is not what I wanted to come home to. She doesn't need to know my family's sordid past. Until I see that she's staying for good, none of that is her business. As much as I keep saying she will stay, I really don't know.My ancestors were fucked up, and that's all she needs to know. It has nothing to do with the present or the future. I may be depraved, and I may despise most women, but I would never do what my ancestors did. The cage punishment is the worst of my nefarious actions against women, and it's stated in their contracts.When it comes to my lewd and sinful activities, I try to make them as consensual as I can. Of course, Carmen and a few others are exceptions. I have no respect for her or her kind, therefore consent is not needed for anything I do to her. The only thing stopping me from completing all the vicious plans I have for the bitch is her uncle at the moment, and even that connection is beginning to fray.I have to get the fuck out of
LilianaJackson was left with instructions to pamper me all day. Apparently, it takes having my period to be treated like an actual human being when it comes to Jarek. However, sleeping in wasn't an option for me. After Jarek had left me, I cried.I had a moment of weakness, letting my morals take hold for just a few minutes, but it was something I needed to do. Once I wiped the tears away, I hardened my resolve once again. But then, the memory of what Jarek did crashed down on me, and everything played on repeat in my head.The way he woke me up and then went down on me even though I was bleeding still grosses me out. Maybe not as much as when he kissed me afterward, but still. Aside from all that, the way my body betrays me every time Jarek lays claim to it is disconcerting. I shouldn't like it as much as I do.I had dragged myself out of bed an hour after Jarek left so I could remove the stupid plug he had inserted. What I saw in the mirror was horrific. It looked as if I had gone
JarekI throw the covers off me in the wee hours of the morning. I haven't slept for shit; thoughts of my pauper and how she looked bent over the dining room table last night plagued my dreams.I've been hard all night. I should have taken her then and there, but I was already being a dick by forcing her to take the pill. Instead, I walked her back to her room and applied the soothing cream to her reddened skin before leaving.I have meetings this morning: one about shipping a new product and the other with my men. There's no way in hell I'm going into either of those meetings with a fucking hard-on.Stepping into the shower, I keep the water on the cool side, hoping to get my cock to relax, but nothing works. I refuse to jack off because I don't want to waste my seed. There's only one thing left for me to do.Once I'm finished, I wrap a towel around my waist and walk out. I pad down the hallway until I get to the only other occupied room on this floor and twist the knob. Unless she h
LilianaI wait at the dining room table for Jarek to arrive. Jackson informed me that our boss insisted that I have dinner with him. If I'm being honest, I'm not quite sure what he wants from me. It's obvious that he doesn't want a woman and that I'm here to give him an Heir, so why must we put on these pretenses of being anything more than employer and employee?A yawn escapes me just as he walks into the room."You need to take better care of yourself, pauper. I need you healthy, and if you're not getting enough sleep then we're going to have to fix that.""I'm getting plenty of sleep, Sir. I've been sitting here, bored out of my mind, waiting on you for over ten minutes." I don't care if I sound flippant. He should respect my time if he wants the same in return.His smirk is irritating when he turns it on me.When he stops behind my chair and leans in, my breath hitches as his masculine scent instantly hits me. He smells way too good."I love your boldness, Liliana, but be careful;
JarekJackson meets us at the bottom of the stairs and falls in line as I lead the way. I notice the glance and raised brow Lily gives Jackson. He gives a subtle shake of his head and looks away. I let the exchange go and keep my mind on the job ahead.Stopping in front of a door at the back of the mansion, I unlock and open it. The room is dark until I flip the switch, illuminating the entire room. There, in the middle of the massive space, sits the wide and narrow cage. It doesn't look like anyone can fit in it, but they do, and when Jackson moves forward and opens it, Lily gasps. I rip the robe from Sasha's body and walk her into the narrow opening.Although I despise women, I'm not one for manhandling a female outside of my sexual encounters very often. This is a special circumstance, though. She put her hands on my property; I can't let that happen.It takes both me and Jackson to restrain Sasha because she struggles to get out of our grasp. Ultimately, it was all for nothing bec
LilianaI've lost complete control of all my senses. Agreeing to be Jarek's whore was never in my plans when I accepted his offer. I do accept responsibility for signing a contract that I did not read. I should have known he'd put some depraved things in it; maybe deep down, I knew what the possibilities were, and that's why I ignored his warning to read it.I'd be lying if I said that Jarek Falcon wasn't handsome. He was cute back in school, and he's only grown into it over the years. It's no hardship being with him in the sexual sense, and being a virgin at the age of twenty-two wasn't really what I wanted. But, by no means did I ever want to be someone's whore."You're thinking too much, pauper," Jarek states as he returns his hand to my neck.He doesn't squeeze or tighten it—it's more of a power play if you ask me. As I stand here waiting to see what he does next, Jarek leans in as if to say something, but then he inhales deeply. He shoves his face into my hair and continues for a
LilianaI haven't been summoned by the devil or seen him around the mansion in days. Ever since that day he fucked that woman right beside me and then filled me with his seed through a syringe, I've stayed in my room. It wasn't until this morning that I learned Jarek hadn't been home. Jackson talked me into leaving my room and showed me where the library and the media room were located. He, of course, disappeared soon after ensuring I was okay on my own.I know he has other work to do, and how fun can it be babysitting boring ole me? I thanked him and then headed for the library; I've been here ever since. It's been a quiet afternoon, and when I hear the door open, I assume it's Jackson bringing me a snack because I've missed lunch, but it's not. I don't know the woman who's sauntering toward me, wearing a grimace. Is this another one of Jarek's submissives?"Hello. I'm Liliana," I start by being cordial, but it's apparent that she doesn't care to know who I am."Did I ask?" She look
JarekSasha comes to the dining room and kneels at my feet. When she starts to open her robe, I stop her. "I did not call you down here for that. I want you to go to the kitchen and get yourself fed. I'll require you in about an hour.""But can't I eat here with you, Master? You can have your dessert like old times," she says seductively as her hand snakes up my thigh.I slap it away."I gave you an order; now do as you're told or get the fuck out of my house." I couldn't care less whether she stays at this point; she's only good for one thing and is about to find out what that is.As soon as I've given my little pauper enough time to eat, I go to her. She doesn't seem to be very happy to see me—like I care. I'm trying to keep this strictly business, and unlike Sasha who gets the cage, Liliana is about to find out what happens when you disobey or deny me.I watched Jackson and Lily interact earlier, and although I'm not disturbed by their friendship, I don't want them to spend too much
