Bound to the Don for a Thousand Nights
I've had a crush on Don Luciano Damiani for ten years. Heck, I even agree to his request to sleep with him a thousand times before we finally get to announce our relationship to the world.
The locations vary, be it Luciano's private shooting range or the VIP lounge. He uses every trick up his sleeve just to groom me into his personal plaything.
Every time we do it, Luciano will kiss me while coaxing the answer out of me.
"Do you want our relationship to go public, babe?"
I've answered him "yes" 999 times. Of course, he disappoints me 999 times as well.
But on the thousandth time, Luciano says, "Cecilia, let's announce our relationship on my birthday, which will be held in two days."
Excitement washes over me at that moment. But that's when my best friend, Valentina Fiore, starts a video chat with me.
"I lost to Luciano in a racing competition. Yesterday, I had to go to the City Hall to get our marriage registered there.
"But he still intends to keep you as his mistress. That's why we shall fight for his affection to the best of our ability on fair grounds.
"The next two days shall be our contending period. We'll bet on who matters to Luciano more. The loser will travel to the Republic of Azamir as a war correspondent, whereas the winner gets to attend his birthday party and announce their relationship to the world."
