[Trisha Volkov]
As we were led to the main office for the formalities. I could not seem to withdraw my heated stare from the person walking ahead of me.
Christian is a mystery, one I won't be able to solve anytime soon.
I was so lost in thoughts when I slammed into a hard surface.
I lost my balance almost tripping on my ass. Almost. A firm hand caught my arm, steadying me.
I laid my eyes on the hand which holds me tight before I swept my gaze at the still golden eyes looking at me intently.
"Are you always this clumsy" Christian sneered at me.
I was about to snap back at him just when I realized how I am his slave. He can as easily make my life a living hell on my slightest disobedience.
I composed my posture, slightly bowing. "Forgive me Suece. I will not do such a thing again" I said in a submissive manner.
I imagined the frown that took over Christian's features for a second, I thought he was upset because of my fake submission. Then again, who am I kidding? The Alpha in front of me is barely capable of any emotions.
"Follow me," with that being said, Christian walked off.
πΊπΊπΊ
I was sold.
It took all two minutes for all the formalities to be completed and I was officially sold to Christian Armstrong.
The realization was hard for me. I was led away in a car, the car Christian was supposed to go back home in. But he stayed there at auction.
Probably to buy more slaves. After all, I was not his taste. Then the question rise that why.
Why did he buy me?
I huffed as I looked out of the window. The car was zooming on the road very fast. Leaving the streets behind.
I had overheard the conversation of the Auctioneers. They were talking about Christian's pack being in the middle of Charlesworth City.
The drive from Stalybridge to Charlesworth is of twenty minutes but night drivers are fast, they can drive like a jet of secluded roads.
Just like the driver, driving me through the roads of Venice. We can surely reach much sooner.
"Suece, can you please drive slowly? I am feeling nauseous, I am afraid I will ruin the furniture here" I asked the driver.
The driver pulled the car to a stop before turning to look at me. Causing me to shriek when I came face to face with none other than Mr. Dominic.
"Suece! What are doing here!" I asked, my eyes slightly widened.
"At your service madam! Don't worry, Alpha told me to take you back and who am I to refuse such a beautiful opportunity " He said with a wink.
I relaxed. Christian is a territorial Alpha. I doubt he will hand over me to someone else. Cause without a doubt I am now his possession.
And Dominic does not seem like a man who will cause me harm.
Suddenly he said. " Can you help me reconfigure my GPS?"
I frowned "Why?"
"I need directions to get into your pants," He said barely holding his grin.
A laugh of my own erupted out of me. "You're hilarious!" I told him. My eyes sparkled with delight.
"So I've been told! Now come on, ride the short gun. This guy is going to give you a night of your life to remember" He offered me his hand to hop in the front seat.
I stared at it, debating whether to accept it or not. "Does Alpha knows about this?'' I asked him. Although I was tempted to take him up on his offer.
He was offering me a night of freedom. That's something I wanted all my life. Freedom. But I know everything comes with a price. I doubt he will waste his time on me just like that.
He looked at me from below his eyelashes. "If Alpha had known about it. You would be locked in a room at his house and I would be buried within six inches in the ground" answering me honestly.
I rolled my eyes at him before taking his hand to hop in the front seat. Consequences be damned. It's my first and last chance before being prisoned again.
I better take my chance.
"Put your seat belt on babe! We are going for a long drive " Dominic warned me before pulling off the car on the highway at full speed.
The car starts to zoom through the night and the secluded roads. It was nearly midnight. Hence the highway of Venice was deserted.
The speed scared me. But thrilled me at the same time.
"Why do you drive this fast?" I asked him with a smile.
He glanced at me before focusing back on the, grinning. "The speed excites me, I can lose myself in the wind grazing my face as the shrill noise of air invades my sense. All in all, I feel alive" He said, his genuineness palpable in his voice.
I faced ahead, I can understand him even if I have never experienced it myself.
The infotainment system burst with slow lyrics. I could recognize the starting beats of the song 'Under the Influence' by Chris Brown.
I tapped my boots with excitement. Dominic noticed it and smirked at me. "Why not sing out loud? " He said.
I frowned at him "You are joking" I said.
He just shrugged before the lyrics started falling from his lips. His voice was melodious.
"Baby you can, ride it oh yeah bring it over to my place and you be like"
I don't know what took over me but we both started to sing along loudly.
"BABY WHO CARES, but I know you care BRING IT OVER TO MY PLACE, you don't know what you did, did to me...Your body lightweight speaks to me."
We finished off on the nook where the song changed. And we stopped singing with a peal of laughter.
"That was awesome! I never thought I would ever do something so reckless " I told him breathlessly.
"That's not even on my list of reckless things," He told me with a wink.
"You know what?" I asked him.
He arches a brow in a questioning manner.
" If you were a song, you'd be the best track on the album." I teased him with my pickup line.
He grinned, firing off his own "The sparkle in your eye is so bright, the sun and stars must be jealous."
I smiled. It was the time of my life.
Could it be a new start?
