Chapter 10 The Ritual
Madison's POV
I had been bad.
Scratch that, I was slowly becoming bad.
And it was all because of him - Don Alessandro.
He was slowly claiming my body
Touching me without my consent - like he owned it all.
I should be mad. Vexed.
But then there was this feeling.
I couldn’t quite explain it. It felt like his touch intoxicated me, beclouding my thoughts.
I closed my eyes, my head creating pictures of us. My hand on his belt, unbuckling it.
His eyes on me, unravelling me like it always does. His -
"Melissa? Are you still sleeping?" The sound of Dina's voice snapped me back to reality. My hand had begun to trail down my body slowly.
He made mention of something after he pushed away from me hastily before I could even answer to his question of if I had been bad.
"Pun star" I spoke out loud, trying not to forget the name. It shouldn't have been said loud but somehow my voice just had to.
He said I looked like his a pornstar, when I bit my lips the way I did.
"Pornstar?" Dina raised her eyebrow at me in awe.
"Huh?" I blinked my eyes at her.
"Were you watching porn, dear?" She gave me a concerned look.
I shook my head. "I was laying down. I don't even know what that is. I heard it from Do ... I heard it from somewhere and it just clicked in my head now" I explained, not wanting to mention the Don's name in the conversation.
He was going to kill me if he heard our conversation outside. I had a feeling he didn’t want what we did to leave his room.
"Ignore whatever you heard." She placed a bag I hadn't noticed her holding, on the bed. "Porn is just videos of various people having sex online and pornstar is the name given to the actors. So uncensored and morally wrong. What's the aim? To arouse people and lead them into temptation?"
She scoffed, pulling out the dress. "Some people say you become more experienced when you watch it. What damn experience?"
She seemed really pissed about this and I felt bad for spitting that out. I should've just kept my mouth shut and did my research quietly.
"Sex is something you should enjoy and explore at your own will with the perfect partner or someone you love. Not something you learn from online to practice on your partner" She rolled her eyes, tossing the dress on my body. “Change into that.”
"What if you're inexperienced and have never done it in your life and you wouldn't want to suck?" I didn't know why I asked that but it had already come out.
She looked at me for a while, not saying anything. "You explore until you're perfect. You learn on your own, at your own pace. Not watch something or someone else. Everybody doesn't even have the same pattern."
Somewhere deep down, curiosity still ate me deep.
"Where can this be found?" I tried my luck with her. "I mean, the Porn. Is it visible to both Children?"
She shook her head. "No. But some kids are stubborn and may lie about their age just so they could watch it on the Internet, with either their parents phone or elder siblings."
I nodded in understanding. I had achieved the information I needed. So I had to check on the Internet for it. I needed to confirm what both Don and Dina had said.
She said something about arousing and maybe if I understood what that meant, I'd know how to do it to Alessandro if he asked again.
“I trust you’re a good child and wouldn’t indulge in that.” She said from behind me.
My eyes went wide, swallowing hard.
Oops.
"You look beautiful." Dina cooed after a while, clasping her hands together, loud.
I froze for a while, before moving forward to the mirror. "What.. what's the occasion?"
The dress I was putting on was simple yet elegant. There was no much design going on with it, but the material used on it made it so beautiful. It also hugged my shape perfectly well, stopping on my knee.
Though it made my cleavage pop up a bit and for that, I was quite uncomfortable.
"Is there no other ...."
"Don's order" Dina shrugged, cutting me off like she knew what I was about to ask her about. "You'd be going to the Bianchi Castle with Ales and you really have to be good, child. His father is not someone you want to mess with."
Wait, what?
"Why? Why am I going with him?" I looked at her, my palm all sweaty already.
"Ready?" Alessandro opened the door without knocking , his eyes locked onto mine immediately. Slowly, he dropped his gaze to my breast, muttering out. "Just perfect"
I wanted to blush. I got a compliment from him unlike the last time and it was worth smiling at.
Wait… what if it was the dress he admired?
Anyway, I had more pressing matters.
"Don." I started, about to convince him to let me stay here and how I didn't like being outside and all.
"Leave, Dina." Alessandro held the door for Dina, watching her leave before closing the door.
All my nerves shot up as I watched him glare at me with those dark alluring eyes that made you scared and at the same time - hot. All over.
"I.. I don't think I'm fit for this." I gasped softly when my back hit the cold wall, my mouth slightly open.
He placed a hand above my head, pulling me closer by my waist. "Who then would be fit for this if not my pet?"
Oh, the way those words rolled off his tongue.
I swallowed hard, slowly raising my head up to meet his. He leaned in, his scent lingering in the air.
"You must be on your best behavior, Raven. Maybe, if you're on your best behavior, I could show you how I liked to be aroused.”
My ears perked up at the sound of that thrilling offer.
I bit my lips, nodding stiffly. Message gotten.
But now I was considering if I really wanted to be in my best behavior or not.
“And if I don’t?”
His lips curved into an amused smirk before pulling away, a bit unexpected. "If you don't, I will punish you. I have so many options, Raven." He eyed me with side eyes as he arranged the hand of his suit.
Oh well. Looks like I had made my decision.
"Let's go." His tone was authoritative, his face serious.
I followed him until we got to the car where he gave me a shoe to put on - more like, dropped it on the floor of the car, and a lipgloss for my lips.
"Just how my pet should look." He looked outside as he said it. I didn't know if he was referring to me or my look or something he saw outside.
This man was confusing.
When we got to the Bianchi Castle as Dina called it, I braced myself up. I curled my fingers into a fist in an attempt to stop it from trembling.
"Let me do all the talking, Raven." He took my fist in his. He looked at me, unfolding my fist before looping his palm around mine, pulling me with him nonchalantly.
Electric sparks ran through my veins, making my heart beat quicken. I spent the rest of the walk, looking at Alessandro, wondering if he was feeling it like I was.
He didn't look back at me and neither did he say anything to me again.
My attention snapped away from him when a man who used an expensively crafted iron stick to aid himself as he approached us.
My mouth fell slightly open as I stared at him, turning to look at Alessandro who also looked at me in confusion. Like he was silently asking me 'what?'
"You look alike" I whispered to him in a hush tone.
Alessandro's lips twitched, his face turning back to the man.
"Father" Alessandro bowed his head curtly at him. The father did same before turning his attention to me.
"The one we've been waiting for." He said, his eyes roaming up and down my body, bored.
Huh? Waiting for who?
Why?
I turned to look at Alessandro but he wouldn’t dare look at me for even a second.
"I hope you're ready for the ritual, Madison.” The man’s face turned serious, his eyes staring dead into mine.
Hold up.
Come again?
