At the venue of the party.The car Leo and I are in slows down as it gets closer to a decorated entrance. I kept my eyes out the window while we drove here quietly but I knew Leo's eyes didn't stop staring at me.I knew I should be annoyed with the way he's eyes had been salaciously fixed on me but I wasn't. It thrilled me actually. I was expecting that Leo would make me dress like one of his whores; I was expecting he would want me scantily cladded but earlier this morning, Anita knocked on my door and handed the dress I was to wear to me.I tested it with a long face but that changed into a smile when I saw how good the gown looked on me. I felt elegant. I haven't dressed like this since God knows when.Sometime later, a crew of makeup artists were in my room fixing up my face. When I walked out of my room later and met Leo at the top of the stairs, I assumed he would compliment how I looked but he didn't.This man held me so close and I, for some reason, got stupidly excited to be
I couldn't take my eyes off her; I couldn't take my eyes off Mae. She looked bored sitting there and staring at the stage where a woman was going through some written acknowledgment. I sensed she was about to turn her head to me so I looked at the stage, not wanting her to know I'd been staring at her. She might already know that I want to fuck her but she doesn't know that I want something more than that; if she caught me staring delicately at her, it might give her a hint.Just like I expected, she turned her head and met me listening to the lady on the stage like I had my whole attention to it. When she was sure I didn't have my eyes on her, she slid her eyes over to Lade's table. I immediately flushed with anger, or was it really anger? I don't know what it was I felt but I didn't like that she was so keen to do the one thing I asked her not to do tonight.I looked at her and could see the fear that dilated her eyes. Probably worried that Lade had his eyes on her too. I sighed w
Leo finally let me free. He walked me back to our table and I didn't waste anytime in sipping from the glass of whiskey that had been staring at me since it was poured out for me. Did I say sip? I gulped the entire glass and braced my insides as the liquid made my throw flame. Leo slid his eyes my way, I peered back to see if he wants me not to touch the glass again but his eyes say nothing, as usual. I reached for the already opened bottle to help myself with it. I was waiting for Leo to stop me but he didn't so I knew I was allowed to drink. I don't empty the entire glass in my mouth this time, I put the edge of the glass to my lips and sipped from it.It's now, I can taste the whiskey properly. It's unlike the kind of whiskey I've had before, it's a little harsher so I looked at the name on the bottle. It was one hell of an expensive brand.The more I reduced the quantity of whiskey in my glass as I sipped, the more I noticed Leo's eyes on my lips are undistracted. This man swore
The vice Mayor climbed on stage and started out with a general greeting for the many persons at the party.I noticed Mae's head turn to a commissioner seated at the far end of the hall. He got up and left as soon as the Mayor started to expand on the topic he was talking about. That would be normal but what made it abnormal was that almost immediately as he left, another of the state's commissioners joined him in leaving. Two other politicians had left the hall before, just the way these two just did but they didn't come back to the party.I grew suspicious and turned to Pete, signaling him to draw closer so I could whisper to him. I asked him to go check if everything was alright.When he stood and left our table, I tried to get distracted by the vice Mayor still going on but I couldn't. I knew something was up, I could feel it but I just didn't know what was happening exactly. I tapped my fingers on the table lightly, at first but those frequent taps grew and I started to drum my f
"Coast is clear, sir," Pete confirmed after stepping outside.I let go of Mae and noticed how few of the persons who didn't have their faces down on the table fell to the floor when they tried to stand. Everyone in the hall had been drugged.The snipers' laser sights still had the vice Mayor glued to where he stood, almost shitting his pants. "No, it's not," I told Pete. There were possibly more out there. These people, whoever they were or whoever sent them weren't here for Lade or myself, they were here for the Mayor. But luckily for the asshole, he wasn't here. He had sent the vice Mayor to represent him. Poor man. His face was embedded with sweat as he looked at me for help.If I'm not mistaken, those men who left here just before these armed men came in have a hand in this; those politicians probably planned this with the event organizers. It's not hard to arrive at that because the press had shut out from being present to broadcast the event.I turned my attention back to Mae a
Fuck. He shot with good aim but Pete tried to dodge and got his arm shot."Good one," The man praised him again, and soon, a new man joined them both."I'll go finish him up," The young boy said to them and started in the direction that could lead him up to Pete.He didn't take the shorter way because he would have to walk past me to get there. I smiled. I think he has heard of me and was just meeting me for the first time."Raise your hand higher," One of the men shouted at me making me want to pull out his tongue from his mouth. He was lucky I didn't have my other gun with me, or else he would be with his other friends on the floor, dead. I had given it to Mae In case a situation like this popped up but Mae was standing still like a mannequin, both she and the gun she had with her useless.I could go to her and take the gun but that would be risking her life. I sighed and raised my hands higher, soliciting a smile from the men. "It's Leo Vance," One of them realized and pointed out.
"How many of my fingers can you see?" Leo had walked up to me after I shot some men who were about to kill him."My heart is beating faster than it should," Was my response because it really was. I had watched Leo take out these men one by one till he went out of bullet.When one of the last two men went up to him to cuff him up, I became hopeful for a minute that it would be possible for him to do so and I could finally be free from Leo. But then I knew that couldn't happen.When the second man had a gun to the back of his neck, but didn't shoot immediately, I almost cursed. I know Leo would have found a way to counter him if I weren't there but I was. He looked my way and saw that I watching, watching, and waiting for a bullet to go through him.I still can't tell if he knew how badly I wanted that man to pull on the trigger but he gave out an order to me the moment he set his eyes on me.I could have ignored it. I could have acted like I couldn't read his lips and still stood there
Leo's teeth freed my lips so I opened my eyes to meet him smiling. His hand was still around my neck, and his face was still so close. "You slut," He mocked. I knew I shouldn't have moaned when he was dragging my lips the way he did but fuck me, it felt good."I'm not a slut," I felt the need to snap back. He tightened his grip around my throat more, shortening my breath a little."Really? So why are you wet in between your legs when I didn't even kiss you?" He asked and looked me In the eye.I wanted to deny it but I didn't. I didn't accept it either."I'm not a slut," I just repeated and got a chuckle from him.I'm sure my face must have turned red with the way he looked on at it with that smirk on his face. He suddenly let go of my neck and turned around to leave but I stopped him."You could have walked Over to Lade's table and put a bullet in his head, why didn't you," I asked and got him to turn around. He should know I'm speaking of how helpless Lade was at the party."That wo
