"... forgive me, Your Majesty, I am always like this around Mr Jake. You don't have to think otherwise, he is not my type.
He is a rich guy but still, not my type..."Jake rolled his eyes, checking the time on his watch.
"Katie?"
"Oh yes, I remember Boss..." she began checking me out,"...She needs a good outfit for tomorrow. She needs to stand out like a Victorian princess with a touch of modernization and..."
"A simple dress will do. Too many long talks." Jake said.
Katie glanced at me.
"But boss, she's too beautiful to appear simple."
"I agree with her. If I am going to the casino, I have to look like a daughter to a very rich man." I said, faking a smile.She grinned from ear to ear.
"She's riiiiiight...!" she said, her tone was melodious,"... leave it to me, boss. Beautifying your baby girl is my pleasure."
She bowed to him.I was surprised when she grabbed my arm, dragging me out and towards a place.
I looked back to see Jake smiling as he watched us leave."Don't worry about that big ol' sugarplum. He would be waiting for you at the changing room.
C'mon... let me fix ya right up" She said.... Katie was just too funny, there wasn't a dulling moment with this beauty.
She kept taking out gowns from an array, placing them into a cart. We discussed more and I got to know she was 28yrs old and she got a Frenchman for a fiancé. Her names are Katie Bourgeoisie Felix and she is from Paris.
She told me a lot of things about Jake when I asked.
She didn't say any degrading thing about him. She spoke highly of him. How he took her off the streets and gave her a new life. How he paid for this building and converted it into a boutique for her.
How he gave her connections and helped her grow her brand. How he checks up on her and constantly sends her money without she asking for it. When I asked if she was intimate with him, she said no.
That although she fantasizes about having him in bed after hearing from a friend of hers she once hooked him up with that he had a big package, she had only wished but never gave it a trial and that Jake respected her a lot and never flirted with her.
I sighed.
Is he that nice as she says?Doesn't she know about his other life?She took me to the fitting room to try out the gowns.
She helped me with putting them on and when she told me that Jake was sitting on a couch outside, waiting for me to step out, I became embarrassed immediately. "C'mon, go wow your man." She said, pushing me out of the curtains.For starters, I was wearing a nude colored long gown with shimmering stones all over it. It had just a strap hanging from my left shoulder and it hugged my body perfectly, accentuating my curves and edges.
It covered my feet and it had a slit at the side that stopped below my hip, exposing my spotless, thick thigh.
I fidgeted when I saw Jake's eyes running all over my body. He smiled, crossing his legs."This is good, but you are not wearing this tomorrow night.
Try another, something more stunning."
Katie pulled me into the curtains immediately, the swiftness startled me. "I said, he was going to like it." She said, grinning happily.
"That means, he approves of it?"She flashed me a warm smile.
"Of course."
She helped me out of the gown, wearing me another.
Each time I came out for him to see me. Either he says no, or he nods a yes.
He was selecting clothes that were too seductive and stimulating.The last one, was a red gown, with a low draping neckline.
It had a gold chain that went round my neck, holding the material. It covered a substantial part of my boobs, but my cleavage was more exposed.
My back was also exposed down to my waist line.
The gown was long and tight fitting, with double slits that went up, stopping blow my hips. It had a gold chain tied around my waist, giving it a classy feel.
Jake stood up from the couch, walking to where I stood. He had his eyes on me and I became flustered immediately.
"You look beautiful, Rachel..." He said, holding my hands,"... turn around for me."
I obeyed, turning around. When I faced him, he had a deep smile on his face.
"Stunning."
"B-But doesn't it look so... I could have men lusting after me."He stroked my hair gently."You are not going to be alone.
I am going to be with you. So don't worry, I got my eyes on you."
I chewed on my lower lip.I hate this guy.
He stroked my upper lip.
"Each time I say things to you, especially things from my heart, you chew on your lower lip.
Do you think I don't mean whatever I say?"I released my lip.
"No. I believe every word you say, I believe you.
You don't lie and even if you do, you are saying the truth."He smiled, staring at my lips."How is it that I can't behave like who I am whenever I am around you? Every strong man has something that weakens him, a weak spot.
Of recent, I got know that it is you, you are my weakness and I hate it.
I hate that I can't get mad when you offend me and every single fucking day, hours and minutes of my life, I think about you.
I am always worried about you and I am excited each time I look into your gorgeous eyes."
What?!
Did he just called me his 'weakness'?.
Me?!!"What are you saying, Jake?""Don't betray me, Rachel..." he scowled,
"... I already told you what my weakness is and it is you. If you try to manipulate me, use it against me, or do something drastic with this confession, I will kill you!..." he snarled.
I gasped, dumbfounded and terrified at the same time. Did he just...?!He grabbed my neck, yanking me closer. His lips were touching mine in the most delicious way.
"... I will drive a knife into your heart and drill a nail into your head.
After that, I will spray bullets on this beautiful body and then, I will have you buried underneath my workplace.
Don't try me. Don't even dare." He said, his voice was so hard, scratchy and horrifying that I grew goosebumps on my skin.
He smiled, releasing my neck as Katie stepped out of the curtains.
"How many gowns were approved, Katie?"
"10 of them.""How much for all of them?" He asked, his eyes never left mine as we locked gazes.
"$92,499. Because of you boss, I deducted 5% from the initial prices."
He took out a black debit card from his wallet, handing it to her.
Black debit card means, this guy could be a multi-billionaire gangster.
"Take out $100,000,that's for being a hardworking person." He said.She squealed in excitement, snatching the card from him.
"Aww Boss, you are so sweet! Can I kiss you?!!"
"No."
"What about I give you a peck?""No."
"But boss..."He sighed, cocking a brow at her."No Katie. Do you want me to go somewhere else?"She rolled her eyes.
"Alright. Let me go swipe the card."
She left.I stood there, not knowing what to say.
I just felt faint from hearing those words coming out of his mouth. I was staring at the ground, trembling as the fear gripped me."Be prepared for tomorrow night, baby girl..."
I flinched ,lifting my head up to look into his eyes and they were smiling mischievously at me. He folded his arms across his chest.
"...After you wear this gown, drawing the attention of every pervert in the casino to you, I will book a nice hotel, and then fuck you so hard to sleep.
Hope you won't beg me to stop this time,you have to be obedient."
He had a wicked smile on his face.
I swallowed down a growing lump in my throat."Yes... I will.
I will be obedient this time."He bit his lower lip, giving me a sensual stare."That's my girl. And tomorrow morning, Katie will send in various erotic lingeries to your doorstep.
Try them all, take pictures of you in them and then send it to my messenger.
I will select the one I like the most, a good body, needs a good lingerie" He said.
ARRRRGH! FUCK THIS BASTARD!!....
He drove me home, giving me the car keys when we arrived. After we shared a long, French kiss in front of my door, he winked at me and then he entered his apartment.I stood there, thinking, how do I get out of this mess?My phone beep and when I checked, it was a message from Zoe.
'Hi chihuahua, I won't be coming back tonight. I will be staying the night at Dan's place.
Goddammit! I totally forgot that I am not on the pill and I don't think I want him to do it with a condom, so I took your spermicide from your stash.
Will see you tomorrow, ... smiles and kisses'I sighed, entering my apartment with the shopping bags in my hands.
I was bothered about one thing... how am I going to get out of this mess?. I thought.
