Chapter 6- BINDINGS
Lorenzo's Pov:
I threw the five-kilogram dumble that I was holding as frustration took best of me, startling and earning a grasp from James, who was on the treadmill at the corner of the room.
"What's up Enzo ? You look too worked up" James asked with an amusing edge in his voice spurring up my anger, lowering down the speed and hoping down from the machine.
Bastard. He can clearly see what I was thinking about.
He walked towards me with a knowing smug making me want wipe that off his face but I wanted to be honest with him. At least that could save me from his teenage like teasing. He's another reason that I am having to deal with her at this moment.
Couldn't he be a little more careful while dealing with his tasks ? We wouldn't be having to deal with that red head then.
"That girl is my problem James. She's eating me alive," I admitted as I sat down on one of the leather stools. He knew me since we were kids, lying in front of him meant more trouble.
"Ah I should have guessed it, that hottie is gonna be a death of you," I heard his voice singing with a smirk. I felt a grumble stir up in the depth of my chest.
"Do not call her that," I heard myself speaking as if I was in some daze, my voice coming out grave and serious making James take a step back. I did not know why but I did not like someone calling her that, specially not James.
"Woah Mr. King, I was just joking you can have her as much as you want, just remember that she's not one of your play things ," James raised his hands in a surrender before passing me a stern look and playfully waving while walking out of the room.
I took a deep breath as I tried registering his words in my mind. He's absolutely right, which is making it even more difficult for me. Neither I could treat her like one of those girls nor behave like the way I just did few minutes ago.
What the hell was wrong with me ? Never before have I reacted like this. She's nothing but a mistake that came rushing into my life and storming away all those rocks that I had placed for years on my feelings, on my soft side which wasn't good in this world.
We needed to kill and trick both our enemies as well as allies if such situations arise which is why we were taught right in our teenage to never form feelings for anyone.
I couldn't believe the stunt that I had pulled in with Jess. Hell I decided to stay away from her, to harden up and torture her but I fucking went and kissed her with sappy words. Words that just kept coming out of my mouth. I just wanted to check her tattoo and at most apply the ointment that I took with myself but I went ahead and did that.
"A kiss where it hurts...," my words rang in my head again making me cringe bad as well as embarrass me to the fullest. I cannot believe that those words came out from my mouth. I am used to giving commands, taking decisions of other's life and death not roaming around like a puppy in front of that girl.
I paced around gym room as the scenes from her room played in my mind. I previously decided to just barge into her room and tease her into coming for training and not romance her.
Hell I have never done something to vanilla. I am used to being rough and raw not sweet and romantic. One cannot run an entire Mafia Empire with sappy and hopeless romantic mind, there was no place for emotions. Yet I broke the rules, I couldn't get myself to kill her that day when she saw us in the act. I was trained for years to do it, yet something in her eyes st
What was it about her that intrigued me so much ? That drew my heart close to her no matter what my logical mind decided.
As a matter of cue the door of the training room opened as her mint-strawberry scent caught my senses. She walked inside the room with her curious eyes eying the surroundings and equipments.
I cleared my throat a little loudly to draw her attention towards trying to ignore the fact that her presence was making me way too nervous.
I have stopped understanding myself since the time this Carrot Top entered my life. A Mafia King is nervous around a petite girl almost half his size. Unbelievable, my inner self mocked me.
She looked towards me, her eyes locking with mine, captivating and drawing me to them. She was in all an average looking girl with a fair share of curves distributed in the required places compared to the one's who have gotten their curves and places of attraction beautified yet she seemed to completely win my interest somehow.
Her neck was empty, she wasn't wearing that little chain that I always saw her wearing which was a little weird. I wanted to ask too but that would be giving her the attention that she has caught my eyes.
I could feel her getting nervous too with her foot tapping against the floor and fingers toying with the hem of her as I kept staring at her, she stared back at me without looking away even at once.
I cleared the moment between us as I took a step back breaking our trance and pulled out a pair of knee-caps and tossing them over to her. She flinched away as soon as she saw me doing it making me frown.
Was she thinking I was gonna throw a bomb at her ?
"You gotta have better reflex than that. Learning to trust your teammates is the key," I spoke plainly as she picked the knee-caps up in her hands.
"Okay," she replied as she saw me still staring at her. Honestly, this was fun. She gets nervous when I stare as her which makes her squirm much to my enjoyment.
"Wear those knee-caps, while ideally I wouldn't give them to a newbie, you will need them cause you are too weak," I spoke pointing out at her weak frame. She was thin, actually too much and with the background information that I have till now received in no way was she getting good nutritive meals thrice a day.
Jess nodded as she lowered her eyes. She seemed to be embarrassed with the detail though she had absolutely nothing to do in this case. She had a bad and messed up childhood, which affected her health as well.
"Do not be embarrassed Jessica, I know all about your background and childhood. You are up for a detailed full body check-up the day after tomorrow to determine a healthy diet for you as well as if any need for shots or supplements," I told her in softer voice, earning almost a grateful look from her.
Little tears seem to swim at the base of her eyes as she bit her lip hard to control them. Being in this position gives you the perks to notice every small detail about the person who got your complete attention.
"Thank You," she managed to whisper in a grateful voice, making it know how much it all meant to her while I nodded at her before walking towards the equipments.
I picked up one of the ropes and walking back to her and handed it to her.
"Can't we just start with the gun, this is just a rope," I heard her voice while made me smirk evidently. Our little Carrot Top was eager to use a gun, but hell those are not even fun. Why end the life of your enemy at once when you could also receive pleasure through them, through their pain.
"Ropes are the most versatile equipment Jessica. It can be used for both for restraining and strangling your enemy as well as in form of bindings," I lowered my voice my the end of the statement, as I let the ends of the rope carelessly touch her milky white skin which made her gulp hard.
"Bindings ?" She asked trying her best keep her guards up, to not give into the sexual tension that was filling the air between us. I wanted to resist it too, yet it was hard specially when she stood right in front of my eyes like a scared little doe.
I wanted to do nothing more than rip her out of those clothes and lavish her right here, taking her through the rides of pain and pleasure as she's bound with the ropes. Her leg's spread wide apart and tied on either sides while letting her body hand from one of those ceilings ropes, completely at my mercy. I felt my lips getting dry as my little prey stood with her blue eyes boring into mine with confusion.
"Yes, all sorts of bindings Jessica. The one's which deliver both pain and pleasure to your enemy," I answered to which she nodded her head, clearly intrigued.
Maybe taking her in wasn't too bad.
