TamaraMy body was still trembling.The silence in the car was too loud. It pressed down on me, squeezed my chest till my breaths came out shallow. I sat stiff, my hands folded tight on my lap like that alone could stop the shaking in my thighs.I could still feel him. Not Leon. That bastard.Giancarlo’s breath on my skin. The way my back hit the cold tile. His disgusting hands under my dress. My skin crawled just thinking about it.I blinked hard. Tried to stop the memories.Tried.Leon hadn’t said a word since we got in. Not a sound. Just sat there with his jaw locked, fist clenched so tight the veins were standing out like they wanted to fight too.He looked like a ticking bomb. One wrong move and he’d explode. Not at me—I knew that. But still—it scared me a little. Not him. Just how quiet he was. How still. Like his rage had gone deep, settled into bone.I turned and looked at him.His eyes were on the road, cold and dark. But I could feel him thinking. Probably the same thoughts
LeonIt was already taking too long.The music still blasted from the speakers. Bass rattled through the floors. But Tamara hadn’t returned yet.She said she just needed to pee. That was ten damn minutes ago.At first, I brushed it off. Maybe she got lost in the hallway or decided to touch up her makeup or stare at herself in the mirror like she sometimes did when she thought I wasn’t looking. But then my phone vibrated in my pocket.I pulled it out and saw a message from one of the men I’d planted quietly to keep an eye on her.He wasn’t supposed to make himself known. I told him to stay out of sight. Just observe. I didn’t want her thinking she was still a prisoner even outside. I wanted her to feel a bit of freedom.But this?“Don Giancarlo followed her in.”My chest tightened.I stood so fast the chair screeched behind me. The table shook. Drinks spilled.“Leon?” one of the guys asked.I didn’t answer.Didn’t fucking care what they thought. I moved fast, pushing past the crowd. My
TamaraThe hallway was blurry, dimly lit, and everything felt too loud. Music thumped through the walls like a second heartbeat, and my heels clicked unevenly against the marble floor as I tried to walk straight.I was tipsy—just enough for my head to feel light, my thoughts slow, my limbs warm and careless. The alcohol hadn't hit me all at once. It had been creeping, crawling, wrapping its way around my mind, dulling the sharper parts of my senses. But I still knew where I was. I still knew I was alone now, away from Leon, away from that booth where men in expensive suits kept trying to figure me out like I was a puzzle thrown on their lap. If I just let out a lot of liquid I should feel better.The ladies' bathroom door creaked open. I slipped inside and let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding.Finally. Silence.Sort of.The music was still there, pulsing in the background like it was coming from inside the walls. But at least there were no eyes watching me here. No glasses cli
TamaraI remembered how casually he’d dropped the dress on the bed, like it was no big deal. Like handing someone a piece of their dignity wrapped in silk was part of his daily routine.He didn’t say anything when he gave it to me. Just the dress, a pair of heels, and a look. That cold, unreadable Leon look that said, “You’re coming with me,” even if his lips never moved.I changed into it without a word. It was short—shorter than anything I’d ever worn around him—and tight. The kind of dress that made you suck in your stomach and second-guess every step. The heels were ridiculous. Towering, glossy, screaming expensive. I didn’t ask why we were going out or where. I knew better than to question Leon when he was already two steps ahead of whatever game he was playing.Now we were at the club, and the music was vibrating through my bones. Lights flashing. Bodies pressed together in all directions. Leon moved through it like he owned the place—like he was just returning to reclaim someth
LeonI wasn’t even sure why I took her out that night.Could’ve been boredom. Could’ve been that quiet itch under my skin that hadn’t gone away since she started looking at me like she could read my thoughts. Or maybe it was the fact that lately, I couldn’t get through a fucking day without needing her close, needing to see if the control she had over me was as real as it felt.The club was loud. The kind of loud that got under your skin. Lights flashing like they were trying to blind people. Music thumping like it wanted to knock your chest in. It was packed, too. People grinding, laughing, drinking like they had no idea what real danger looked like.This place used to be my scene. Back before all of this. Before her.And now I’m walking through it again, only this time with her beside me. In heels that made her legs look like sin, in a dress that didn’t even try to hide the fact that she knew how good she looked.She didn’t say anything at first. Just walked close. Not clinging. But
LeonHer breath was already shaky by the time I lifted her onto the table.The edge dug into the back of her thighs, papers crumpling beneath her as I pulled her legs apart again. Her gown was halfway down her shoulders, barely clinging to her arms. Hair messy. Lips swollen. Eyes glazed like she couldn’t focus on anything but the feel of me inside her again.And that was exactly how I wanted her.I didn’t even give her time to catch her breath.I buried myself back inside her—hard. Deep. No warning. Her back arched off the table instantly, head thrown back, mouth parted in a sharp moan that echoed in the room.I gripped her hips tighter, dragging her closer to the edge of the table. Her body jolted with each thrust. Her hands scrambled behind her, trying to find something to hold onto.There was nothing soft about this.Nothing gentle.Just raw, desperate fucking.We’d barely made it through the last round in the chair, and here I was again, needing more. Needing all of her. I wanted
