“I want to sleep with you again.”
Dante just stared at her, and she believed the sun was climbing up her face.
“That’s cool if you’re not interested. I wanted to ask.”
“Ok.” Dante nodded his head.
Ok, what did that mean? Ok yes or ok I’m not interested. Before she could get clarification Enzo walked in.
“Am I interrupting something?” Enzo’s voice was roughened.
“Yeah, you are. We were ready to discuss the headliner shows. What did you need?”
“It’s family-related.”
Madison could feel the animosity roll off of Enzo like a tsunami. What was family-related? Didn’t the mafia consider itself a family? Was that it?
“That’s ok. We can discuss it later.” Madison stood.
“No. We’ll finish it now.” Dante stood up. “Give me a second.” He strode outside the room to the corridor. She could tell Enzo was supposed to follow, but he stood rooted to the spot. There was a power play happening, and she didn’t think it had to do with “family” but was over her.
It was kind of made her hot, to think that Dante was laying claim to her. If that’s what he was doing. He could just not want anyone else to touch her and he was still done with her. She wasn’t going to be passed around if that’s what either of them believed.
Enzo stood still, but then walked out to talk to Dante. She couldn’t hear what was said, but Dante walked away from Enzo. Enzo’s gaze pierced through her before he turned and stomped away. Dante went back to sit behind his desk.
“Something has come up so we’ll have to discuss your show ideas later.”
“Ok. Great, well I’ll go now.”
“I’ll drop you off. I shouldn’t have lost control with you when you were here last time.”
“Right, yeah. Someone could walk in.”
Dante stood up and walked around the desk. This was her first time she focused on him. His olive-tinted skin glowed in the light and his piercing slate-gray eyes were dark with something that should have scared her, but instead turned her on more.
Why was it that Dante made her so hot and wet? Was it because he was her first? Was it always like this? Was this only him? Dante put his hand on her back, and her skin was seared through her clothes. He guided her out of the room.
“Ed, lock up for me and if anyone asks, I’m out. Ok. Alone.”
“Gotcha, boss.”
Madison followed Dante out to his car and was shocked when he opened the door for her. She didn’t know most guys who would do that. But she didn’t know Dante at all, so she wouldn’t know if he did this for all the girls he drove in his car, or if it was just for her.
Her stomach squeezed at the reality that he might do this for other girls. It was clear he was experienced in the sex department, but a crazy thought flitted through her mind that she wanted to be special to him. But she didn’t believe that he would do these things only for her. Because of what pulled them together. At least what she recognized drew them together. He might have experienced this before.
They drove to her place in silence. It wasn’t weird, and there was no need to talk anyway since he knew where he was going and if Madison had read the situation right, she would be getting fucked again soon.
She squeezed her legs together. She was so hot she would come fast once he got inside her. But she couldn’t help it. She wasn’t ashamed either that she had tidied up before she left for the night in hopes that she would bring him back to her place.
Madison had taken care to tuck her latest designs away and hid her sewing machine and other tools. She opened the door and let them in. He stopped in the doorway. Was he just giving her a ride home and she misunderstood what was happening?
“Before I come in I want you to be sure that you want to do this. Last time, you said it was a one-time thing.”
“Last time, you said you wouldn’t have fucked me if you had known I was a virgin. I’m not anymore, so I figured it could be a more than one-time-thing. That is if you’re interested.”
“Spell it out for me, Madison.”
She didn’t know why she didn’t come out and say it. But this was going to be only her first time propositioning a man. “I was thinking that I didn’t get you out of my system and so we could be a booty call for each other.”
