“I think you’re beginning to understand,” he whispers as he pulls my hair and fucks me with his fingers. “This is how the world works, my beautiful little thief. There are those with power and those without, and we learn how to obey.”
“So that’s it? You obey?”
“As much as I have to.” He covers my mouth and spanks me hard enough to make me scream before he drops to his knees and licks me from behind.
The sudden contrast of the pain and his soft tongue drives me wild, and I’m wiggling my hips and trembling as the pleasure builds and builds. He licks me and teases me from behind and, fuck, it’s filthy, it’s so wrong, and I come like a lightning storm as he laps me up and eats me and growls with delight as he does it.
When I’m finally back inside of my body and no longer buzzing among the clouds, I lean against the wall and breathe hard. He kisses me gently, smirking, and pulls my panties up.
“I still think this is fucked,” I say quietly, but I’m too spent to truly fight.
“I understand. You like Charlie and you don’t want to see her get hurt. But believe me, she knows Vince is here, maybe not the specifics of what he’s doing but in general she understands the situation. He fucks around, but he always comes back home.”
I reach out and grab his wrist. He looks at me with a curious surprise as I draw his hand to my lips and run his finger across my mouth. “And what about you? Do you fuck around?”
“Grace,” he says, a low rumble.
I take his finger into my mouth. I suck slow and smile at him, rolling my tongue in circles, making eye contact as I do it.
“Come on, Calvino. Tell me the truth. Do you fuck around too, just like Vince? If this was real between us, would you expect me to be okay with you getting your dick sucked by two other girls?” I bite down gently and he chuckles as he stares at my mouth with pure desire. I know what he’s thinking and I want him to picture me down on my knees with his thick cock between my lips, sucking him fast and deep into my throat as my breasts shake.
I love the look he gives me: pure and complete lust, like he’s losing his mind and doing all he can to keep his hands to himself. I love that I have power over a powerful man, even if it’s only to make him want to fuck me so badly he’ll do anything I say. It’s exhilarating, letting him stare at me while I suck his finger and tease him and make him wild with excitement, and I can only imagine how hard his cock is right now.
“I am not my brother, little thief.” He pulls his hand away and grabs my hair tightly. “You need to understand that. Just because I play my family’s game doesn’t mean I’m like them.” He stares into my eyes and I’m not sure I believe this man is somehow above the muck and grime of his family’s debauchery—even though I want to.
But what does it matter?
We’re not real. Whatever we have is all for show, only a job, although it doesn’t feel like that when his lips are against mine and his fist is in my hair. No, it feels like there’s something more happening, like despite what he says, there are feelings growing between us that neither of us want or can handle.
I won’t let myself go there. I won’t let myself get distracted by this man’s lips, his touch, his pleasure and his pain.
“Now I need you to get back to work. I’ll have one of the other girls deal with my brother.” He steps back and I’m surprised by the concession.
“I guess I can pretend like he’s not back there.”
“That’s for the best. And don’t mention this to Charlie. It’ll only hurt her.”
I look away and wonder if he’s right about that. Doesn’t she deserve to know that her husband is cheating on her with multiple women at once? Though I can imagine how the details would sting.
Calvino might not be able to cross that line, but I’m not bound by their family rules the way he is.
Vincent’s the Don, but he’s not my Don.
I get myself together and Calvino squeezes my ass when I walk past and I feel a little jolt of aching pain, and I wonder what else I can do to earn another spanking like that, or if I can even survive another.
Chapter 14
Grace
That weekend, several days after Vince’s visit to the club, Calvino takes me back to the Sandtrap. “Charlie’s been asking for you to come over. You’re going to have to get her cell number tonight so she can stop bugging Vince about it and ask you directly.”
