The long hallway gives me time to collect myself, to calm my nerves, and to drink in the suited god of a man in front of me. The dark material molds to his form like it’s been custom made for him. And I’m sure it has.
He oozes money, sex, and dominance.
Danger drips from his pores, but I don’t find myself afraid.
Instead, I’m intrigued.

Franco
Leading her through my home, I find myself wanting to say something. To give her a tour of the beauty that lies within the walls, but I refrain for the moment. Her presence is distracting. The soft scent of her perfume wafts through the halls that once held parties so opulent, but hung heavy with depraved acts.
Most times, my father would host them. Other times, he would invite one of the suppliers to bring their clients or buyers here. I’ve seen things that have stayed with me.
She follows me two steps behind. I can feel her as if she were a storm about to rage through the house and destroy everything in its path. Even so, Raina is decadent, and I can’t wait to see her break beneath me. Innocence radiates from her. I can see the blush on her cheeks when I regard her. Even though I know six months will never be enough with her, I realize I’ll have to let her go once the contract is up.
I’ve put the wheels in motion, making sure that when she walks out the door, she’ll have everything her father wanted for her. Once I’ve confirmed that her asshole brother no longer holds her freedom in his hands, she will no longer belong to me.
“Mr.—”
“I didn’t ask you to speak,” I grunt out. The need to spank her ass tingles over my palm. Reaching my office door, I push it open and step aside, allowing her to enter first. Jesus, if only I could see her in a thin silver collar. Her slim neck would look incredible with a small clasp hanging between her beautiful tits.
She’s not slim. Instead, womanly curves have me hard as steel when I take in how the skirt she’s wearing hugs her hips. The only thing that’s currently running through my mind is to see her kneel before me while I make her eyes tear up.
However, at this stage, the first thing I need is for her to sign the contract and non-disclosure agreement. Once that’s in place, she’ll learn about her father, what her family means to mine. Most of all, she’ll partner me to the upcoming ball.
I’ll exact the revenge for her. In exchange, she’ll give me what I want. Six months with her. In my house. In my bed. Nothing less. “I need you to sit, take a notepad from my desk, and I’ll give you your orders. If you follow them—”
“I get rewarded?” Her interruption stirs the fuel in my blood. Stalking to my desk, I pick up the contract. It’s thick and when I drop it on the wooden top, it thuds. Her gaze lands on it, then trails up to me. Meeting my gaze, she waits for me to respond.
“Let’s get one thing clear, Ms. Lombardi. I’m your boss. When I’m speaking, do not interrupt me. When I give an order to speak, you’re welcome to state your views. However, this doesn’t mean I’ll agree to them or adhere to them. Make no mistake, I’m an asshole, the biggest asshole you’ll ever meet in your life. That is how I conduct all my business. Am I clear?”
She watches me in awe with those big doe eyes and all I can think of is watching her unravel. For her to let go of those restraints she’s holding onto. Her poised stance, the straight back, and lifted chin show me her defiance. If only she knew what I did to little girls who want to play my game.
I await her retort. Instead, I’m pleasantly surprised when her response is a soft murmur. “Yes, sir.” The creamy skin that turns a dick-hardening rosy hue has me biting back a groan. How I’d love to make her ass the same color as her cheeks. To have her bound bent over my desk as I punish her.
“Would you like to say something else?”
“I…” Her words taper off when she meets my stare. Her eyes glisten with unshed tears, causing my dick to jolt. It’s so hard behind my slacks, I’m sure if I undo my suit jacket, she’ll see exactly what I want to do to her.
“Well? I don’t have all day, Ms. Lombardi. If you want to speak, then do so now.”
“You, uhm, you told me not to wear anything under… I mean, underwear. I’m… I just thought you wanted—”
Stalking toward her, she halts her words and watches me.
Leaning in, my hands on the arms of the chair she’s sitting in, I murmur, “Oh, I do want. This is part of your training, Raina. You see, I don’t fuck girls who don’t know how to hold themselves. You’ll learn, and once you’re ready, then I’ll bend you over my desk, hike up your skirt, and see if that innocent little cunt can take my dick.”
