“Meaning?” she replied as her tongue came out of her mouth and licked her lips.
“Anything, like spoiling you, taking care of you, sexually satisfying you?”
“No… he was a monster and...” she said timidly.
“What, like me?”
“I haven’t seen anything that would determine you to be a monster, all I’ve had is kindness.”
Holy fuck, that had to change from now on, there was no way that she would see a soft side of me anymore.
“Well, not all people are evil, you’ve clearly had a shit time and well… I’ve given you employment and board.”
“Kindness,” she repeated with a little more strength in her voice.
Sat there I glared at her, I was so eager to get closer to her, show her how I played, and she wouldn’t think that I was kind anymore after I was done with her.
“If I allowed you to make one rule, what would it be?”
What the fuck was going on with me?
“That no one touches me,” she told me in a firm voice that left no room for arguments.
Seriously? She had to be fucking kidding me, it was going to be tougher than I first thought, but there was nothing that could deter me from what I wanted.
Chapter 11
DANIELLA aka Layla
Ican’t seriously believe I said that to him when all I wanted was for him to touch and tease me to the point that I lost all self-control. I watched his reaction, his eyes widened, and he cocked his head to the side.
“As you wish, seems a fair enough request, not that any man should touch you without your permission anyway. I don’t accept that behaviour in this house unless it’s agreed by both parties,” he said as leant forward and folded his arms.
I was in shock as I never expected him to say that and agree with me.
“So, tell me what your plans are?” Antonio asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you wish to continue working here?” he said, glaring profoundly at me.
“I have nowhere else to go.”
“So, your answer is, yes then?” he asked while not taking his eyes off me.
“Yes,” I told him as I continued to hold his stare.
“Fine and your rule is no one touches you?”
I just nodded my agreement instead of speaking as he rubbed his chin.
“Could you stipulate what you constitute as touching…?”
“Sexually,” I explained making sure that he knew what I meant.
“I see. You can leave,” he told me in an authoritative voice that you wouldn’t want to argue with.
I rose and without hesitation, I left the sitting room and closed the door behind me then rested my back against it while I took a deep breath. I still couldn’t work out what kind of man Antonio was even with all the things he told me about himself, I wasn’t the best at judging characters, I mean look who I’d grown up surrounded by. Ricco and my papa were the epitome of evil.
