His tongue pierced my folds and I rolled my lips over my teeth. I swallowed my noises as I gripped onto the shelving behind me, trying hard not to knock something off. I spread my legs further. I felt him slide my thigh over his shoulder. And as his tongue lapped deeply against my aching clit, my body began to quiver.

“Oh, Teo,” I whispered.

He growled into my pussy and my jaw unhinged.

“Shit, shit, shit, shit,” I hissed.

His tongue swirled expertly around my swollen nub. My toes curled in my heels as my thighs began quaking. I bucked against his eager mouth as my eyes rolled back. I gasped for air and swallowed my sounds as I rode the quick high that was building deep in the pit of my abdomen. It burned in all the right ways. The rhythmic movements of his sucking lips had my head falling back against the shelf.

“Oh, fuck,” I moaned.

“Now,” he grunted.

His command sent me over the edge into a dark, endless abyss. I felt my juices dripping against his skin as he opened his mouth wide to receive my offering. Hearing him swallow me down only made me want him more. The way he moved with my body instead of against me made me want to drag him home, force him down onto the bed, and pull that damn cock of his out just so I could ride it. I felt amazing as he drank me up. I felt wonderful as my orgasm crashed over me.

And as I collapsed out of sheer exhaustion, he caught me in his arms.

“There we go,” he murmured.

I panted for air as he cradled my body against his. I placed my head against his shoulder as he sat on the floor, gathering me into his lap. I let my eyes fall closed as the dull, muted sounds of the party raged off in the distance. A party I no longer cared about now that I had experienced a taste of what Teo could dish out.

“Wow,” I whispered.

He chuckled. “You could have this all the time, you know.”

I snickered. “I’d just have to stay as your hostage, right?”

“No. You’d just have to stay with me.”

I furrowed my brow tightly. “What?”

“Look at me.”

I tilted my gaze up to his. “I’d have to stay with you?”

He stared down at me. “Stay and help me take down Lorenzo’s trafficking ring. I know you want to help those girls, and while it might not seem like it, so do I.”

“I can do that from my office back home.”

“No, you can’t. This is going to require all hands on deck, and you know it. The reach of the Lucchese Family runs deep through these islands. Their influence is becoming international, and that spells trouble for a lot of people.”

“Including you?”

He nodded. “Including me, yes.”

I wiggled out of his grip. “So, you want me to help you take down one trafficking ring so you can swoop in and, what? Take what you feel is yours?”

He shook his head. “No.”

I stood to my feet as the euphoric high wore off. “Well, Teo, I can’t do anything you’re asking of me as your little plaything. You don’t get access to my expertise while treating me like some second-class citizen.”

He matched my movements and stood. “Have I not shown you I can trust you? Have I not given you your own quarters and your own space?”

“Yes, you have. And it’s been generous. But, it’s been under the guise of you keeping me here. In order for us to be equals, you’d have to completely lift the idea of you forcing me to stay here and see me as an independent adult with a life all her own. That’s the only way something like this works.”

“How do I know you’ll stay if I do that? How do I know I’ll get access to your expertise?”

I flipped the lock on the door. “Guess you’ll have to trust me as much as I trust you.”

Then, I threw the door open and made my way out of the pantry, heading for the closest bathroom I could find. So I could make myself look presentable again while Teo considered my counter-offer.

One I found myself hoping he’d take.
