*Eliot's POV*
I woke up to the feeling of someone hovering over me — warm hands shaking me gently. My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was him.
Luciano.
His dark eyes were staring into mine, calm… unreadable. But my heart wasn't calm. The dream — no, the *nightmare* — still haunted me. My body moved before my brain could stop it. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his chest.
His hand came up, rubbing slow, comforting circles on my back. It felt… good. Too good. And for a brief moment, I allowed myself to melt into it — into *him*.
But then… last night hit me like a wave.
The men. The shop. The drink. The way I'd clung to him while he touch my c*ck.
Shame burned through me like fire.
I pushed away from him, my voice sharp. "L-Leave me alone!"
He smirked. "You didn't say that yesterday… when I gave you handjob."
I froze. My mouth opened, but the words stumbled.
"I-I… It w-wasn't my i-intention. I was… I was d-d-drugged," I managed to say, my cheeks burning.
Luciano leaned closer, his voice a soft tease. "But you *enjoyed* it, didn't you?"
My eyes widened. "I-I d-didn't… I didn't *enjoy* it! I-It's… It's a s-s-sin!" I nearly shouted, tripping over every syllable.
God, what was wrong with me?
Why did my chest ache when he looked at me like that?
And worse… why did I wish he'd touch me again?
Then he smashed his lips on mine, I watch in horror then I did the unbelievable. I bite his lip and I quickly stood up from the bed.
He watched me with a shock in his eye.
Oh…..God what did I do?
He just stood up and smirk at me. He come close while I took my steps backwards until I reach the limit, the wall.
I bow my head to avoid his face."Look at me." I didn't answer him.
"If you don't want me to f*ck you right here right now, look at me." With a very different violent this time.
The voice send a shivers down my spine. Why is my body betraying me.
I raise my head up. He stare at me with an unreadable expression.
"Am sorrrrrry fOr dOINg tHat to You, I was JuSt shocKed." Why do I kept stunting.
"It's fine kitty, I discovered probably you like it raw and rough uhn??? He smirk
" I don't understand what you are talking about." He just nodded his head
"You don't need to understand, as long has I know what I want to do to your body." God….. why does this guy always have naughty thing to say.
" I like this shirt on you kitty"while he camp me more to the wall staring down on me. I didn't even notice what I was wearing.
"You change my outfit???" I started in shock.
"Oh baby you are such a naughty kitty, I only changed your clothes nothing else .....or if you want me to I don't mind." He laughed at my facial expression.
"Ok kitty, am kidding go freshen up and come and eat I have something to tell you
He step back and head for the door and close it. I signed in relief.
I couldn't keep my mind off what happen last night why are this people after my life. Then I remember something.
"Jesus….. am suppose to resume work this morning, I need to call Mrs flora.
I try looking for my phone all over the room and couldn't find it but I come across my tour cloth inside the dustbin but I couldn't find my phone. It must be with him.
I went to the bathroom and off the shirt Luciano put on me and quickly freshen up and go to the closet, there are many good cloth there but it doesn't fit. The trouser are too big for me.
But I saw the shirt like the one Luciano wore for me. I have no choice but to go for it. I head outside and a good aroma hit my nose.
Does he have a maid in here, I quickly go downstairs and I was met with Luciano cooking, he didn't know am behind him though.
The most amazing part is that he is shirtless and he wore aprons and the way he grab, cut, squeeze make his muscles flex and...….. why am I thinking about that.
"You like what you see kitty," without seeing his face I know he was smirking again. That stupid face.
" uhnnnn Weldone I JuSt Come noW'" Why me???? He face me this time around with a small smile on his face.
"Kitty, you are lying again you have been staring at me for more than 10 minutes" he started coming closer, this time around I didn't move. I just stare back at him.
He get close to me and suddenly carry me and started head to the cabinet and place me gently there.
"So kitty it has been a while I cook and I want to cook homemade food for you, so I need you to be my taster hummm??
"Hum I MeAn Yyyes" he went back to doing his thing while I taste the food for him. I mean don't call me dumb am in front of a killer so I need to corporate for me not to get killed.
So I ask what I actually come downstairs for before I got distracted with muscle. I need to compose myself first.
"Luciano" he answered my facing me with something like worry look.
"I don't know maybe my phone is with you I need to make a call with my boss to let her know am fine." I said all that with my eyes close.
I opened my eyes slowly and he was staring at me blankly.
"Well, the guys that kidnapped you yesterday actually broke it but I can help you with your boss number.
"And that reminds me Eliot, you are not working there again," I discovered he use my name when he is serious with something but what I should not work in the place that kept me alive.
"What!!!! You can't tell me what to do Luciano" I stared at him anger written all over my face.
"I don't care what your opinion is Eliot, you are not working there again and that is finally.
