Rico stood in the dim light, his eyes locked on her. Calla wasn't one to back down, bold, sharp, and unafraid. But something about him made her heart race. "You're mine now," he said, his voice low and rough. He moved closer, his hand sliding to her waist, heat pooling between them. She smirked, not giving in so easily. "I don't belong to anyone." A dark smile curved his lips. "You will. Just wait." He leaned in, his mouth so close to hers that her breath caught. In his bed, the game didn't stop. She didn't just let him take control, she pushed back, meeting his fire with her own. His hands gripped her hips, pulling her closer, and she couldn't help the shiver that ran through her. "Say it," he growled, his lips brushing hers. "Say you're mine." Her eyes flashed with challenge, but her voice came out breathless. "I'm yours."
View More"Oh fuck. Another night on my back for a man who thinks I'm beneath him." Calla whispered as she adjusted the strap of her red silk dress in the car mirror, fixing a loose curl behind her ear. Her lipstick was sharp, bold red. She looked like she belonged in this world of rich men and locked doors.
She didn't. But no one needed to know that. The black car stopped in front of a private club tucked into the Upper East Side. No signs. No music. Just glass, stone, and silence. The kind of place that didn't need to prove anything. She pulled out her phone and reread the message, and sighed. [Big client. Private job. Don't screw it up. Suite 4.] No name. No details. Just orders. "Another night, another hungry male." She muttered to herself as she stepped out. "Let's dance, shall we?" Her heels hit the pavement as she walked towards the club. The bouncer gave her a long look, he was tall, thick neck, broken nose, face like stone. "Name?" he grunted, seizing her from up to her feet. "Calla," she said coolly, chin up. He checked his phone, then gave a short nod. "Fourth door on the right. Knock once." "Thanks," she muttered, already walking past him. The hallway was dim, with dark walls and soft light. Her heels echoed, sharp. She didn't let the nerves show. Never did and never will. She'd been in enough rooms with powerful men to know one thing... they smelled fear. And they loved it. At the fourth door, she knocked once and it came opened from the inside. He didn't say a word. Just stood there, tall, broad, dark-haired, serious as death and fucking handsome like the devil. The collar of his black shirt loose, top two buttons undone. Tattoos peeked from under the open collar. His eyes were black ice. "You're Calla?" His voice was low, smooth, but cut sharp. "That's what they call me," she said, brushing past him and into the room like she owned it. The suite was expensive without trying. Soft lighting. A full bar, whiskey already poured. "No music?" she asked, running a finger along the back of the couch. "I like quiet," he replied. Calla turned, folding her arms. "You don't like talking either?" She asked. He seems not to be bothered by anything in the world. He raised an eyebrow, just slightly. "Depends if there's anything worth hearing." A smirk pulled at her lips. Okay, so he liked control. Fine. She could play. "Then let's skip the small talk." She kicked off one heel, then the other, watching him the whole time. "You didn't ask me here to chat." His eyes moved over her slowly. Not hungry. Not impressed. Just... measuring. "Take off the dress," he said simply. Calla held his stare. Most men asked, some begged, but him? He just demanded. No warmup, no flattery. She didn't blush. She didn't hesitate. She turned around, slid the dress down her body, and stepped out of it, with nothing else underneath. Her back straight, chin high. He didn't move right away. Just watched her movement. Then finally, he came forward. He kissed her like she owed him something. His hands grabbed her waist, pulled her tight. No hesitation. No pause. His mouth devoured hers, pushing in to taste her entirely. They fell to the bed, His hands were firm, not asking. He fucked her like they were lovers in their past lives, hard and almost... passionate. Her moan wasn't sweet, it was sharp, low, real. The sex wasn't gentle. It was rough, quiet, and hot enough to burn through the sheets. He didn't talk much, didn't make promises. Just fucked her like she was his for the hour, the minute, the second. She matched him. Gave as hard as she got. No fake softness, not like she did with those old men, no giggles. Just two strangers with too much heat and no rules. Every thrust he made left her breathless, made her want more, which was strange. She knew who he was to her.. just her client for the night. With others, she's used to pleasuring them, making them feel good for their payments... but this was different. This man on top of her was different, good different. It was as if she's the client to be pleasured, which felt wrong. Is wrong. When it was done, she sat up, breathing heavy as she tried to catch her breath, hair messy around her face. He was already at the bar again, shirt halfway buttoned, pouring himself another drink like nothing happened. "Cold," she said, reaching for her dress. He glanced at her. "Get dressed and go." She gave a low laugh. "Right. Can't have the dirty little escort hang around for too long." "You knew what this was," he said. "I always do," she replied. She slipped her dress back on, smoothing it down. He watched her without smiling. "You'll hear from me soon." "Lucky me," she sassed, slipping into her heels. "Try not to miss me too much." She walked out without waiting for a goodbye. ♡ ♡ ♡ Outside, the car was waiting. She slid in and closed the door just as her phone buzzed. Unknown Number: ["Don't forget what you owe us."] Her jaw tensed. Then another ping. ["We know where your little brother goes to school."] Her fingers went cold. But her face didn't change. "Fucking assholes," she muttered under her breath, clutching the phone tighter. She promised to get him the money she owed soon. "Please take me home." She said to the driver. As the car pulled away, her reflection stared back at her in the window, red lips that was now smeared, hard eyes, cold mask. She looked like a woman who didn't flinch. But that was just survival. Inside, her stomach twisted with fear. Her hands were clammy against her dress. She was strong because she had to be, but she knew exactly what people like them were capable of. And if they touched her brother, no mask in the world would save her.Soon after, the car rolled past the tall black gates, and the mansion came into view. It was dark, towering, and cold-looking. It sat at the top of the hill, made of heavy stone with sharp edges and narrow windows. Even though it was midnight, the moonlight shone just enough for Calla to see what the mansion looked like.Ivy crept up its sides, and strange stone statues lined the path, watching them like guards.The place looked more like a castle than a home.The driver parked just by the entrance, and Calla made sure she adjusted her skirt and top before coming out. Her lips were a mess with red lipstick smeared everywhere.Rico took the lead inside and she followed behind.When they stepped inside, the air felt cooler, almost silent. The walls were made of stone, the floors smooth and dark. A huge fireplace crackled at the center of the room, its heat the only warm thing around. Everything smelled of old wood, smoke, and something faintly spicy... like whiskey.It was the kind of h
Calla gave a quick nod and looked away. Rico strode closer to her, took her chin between his thumb and index, then made her look at him."You always have to use your words. No nods or shakes," he said. "Understood?"Her eyes were locked with his, she could see his eyes clearly. The gray was mixed with a little green.She swallowed, "Understood."Rico turned to Ezio, his eyes dark as he spoke. "Non voglio che tu ci provi con lei, Ezio." 'I don't want you flirting with her, Ezio'Ezio's grin deepened, his eyes flickered between Calla, then settled back on Rico. "Stavo solo scherzando, niente di serio," 'I was just joking around, nothing serious' he replied, brushing it off with a shrug.Rico’s eyes didn’t waver, he maintained his poised look. "Comunque… con lei non si flirta," 'Still... you don't flirt with her.'"Okay, okay," Ezio took two steps away, hands in the air, but his mischievous grin never left his face.He winked at Calla and walked away, not before patting Rico's shoulder.
'What the fuck?' She said in her head. This isn't what she had in mind when he texted about a party. She walked in, and the booth was bigger than it gave out.It was like a hall, bigger than usual.Music played in full blast, different from the one playing downstairs. Three beds were on each side of the room, with girls tied in different positions, each had a man ramming inside her. Their mouth were gagged and some had their eyes covered.Calla swallowed hard, moving her feet deeper into the room.'What is this place? Are these girls sex slaves?' Different thoughts ran through her head."Don't worry," someone spoke so closely to her ear. Calla jumped and turned around. "They all gave their consent to do this."It was him. Rico De Romano.He looked... hotter than the time she last saw him, which was a month ago."Doesn't seem like it," she commented, her head high and shoulders straight, as usual.Rico moved closer, his hands in his trouser pockets. God, he looked gorgeous. He wore cha
It was the same routine for the next days that followed. She helps Eli with his school work and mini projects, and she keeps herself busy with house chores. Luxe drops by from time to time.But Rico still hasn't contacted her. She couldn't help but imagine different scenarios in her head. 'Does he still want me or not? Or did he die or something?'She tried to get any information from Bruno, but he was tight-lipped. She gave up the questions.Come to think of it, she should be glad he isn't here. At least, she's free from fucking anybody and just living like a normal person.'Your life can never be normal, Lyra,' something reminded her. And it was true.She's given up on having a dream, a good life, a boyfriend, or any of that stuff years ago. Now, all that mattered was her brother and his future.She hated her dad for putting her in this position. Becoming a sex worker at a young age isn't something she had planned for her future, but there was nothing else she could do.Work as an e
Calla stood before her wardrobe, contemplating which clothes, bags, and shoes to bring with her. And which she should give away.She and Eli are finally leaving this darn old house.Rico got an apartment for them. He said he would, and he did.Sometimes she still couldn't believe it. She was Rico’s... just for a year, still, but that was huge.Eli walked into his sister's room, a worried look on his face. "Do we really have to move?"She smiled at him, "You know we have to," She said. "And besides, aren't you tired of this old house?"Eli sighed and nodded. "Sure, I am. But where did you get the money for a new apartment?" He asked.Calla bit her bottom lip, turning back to her small wardrobe. "I told you, Eli.""Yeah yeah, you told me. But I'm not buying it!" He uttered. Calla turned around to face him again. "You seriously want me to believe your boss got you the apartment, because you're 'employee of the month'?"Calla stifled a laugh. Hearing her brother say it, she realized how
Calla sat in the dim light of her dressing room, staring at her phone. The club was extra busy today, and so was her heart.Two days had passed since that night he requested for her exclusively. Him whose name she didn’t know. She hadn’t expected to think about it. She should just say 'no' to him and move on. It was supposed to be another job, just another night. She had done it many times. But there was something about him. The way he didn’t try to rush, didn’t pressure her. Just took what he wanted, without a word.And Calla couldn’t stop thinking about the way his body felt pressed against hers.It wasn’t like it was new for her. She had been with men like him before. Rich. Powerful. Detached. But... He was different. He had a way of making everything feel... sharper."Gurl! What the fuck is you thinking! Better get ya ass ready 'fore Big Boss gets here and see ya ain't ready yet!" Luxe yelled, running around to get ready. "Shit!" She shook her head, trying to push him out of her
