It's a little after ten at night when I arrived back at Tobias' hideout. He had tasked me with killing a few drug dealers who were attempting to take over the 100 gang. In my hand was a brown sack which had each of their heads inside. It used to sicken me to cut off someone's head. It still does, but I do it nonetheless. My face was covered in blood as well as my black shirt. Syonide led me down the hall and into the living area where saw Tobias dropping a live rat into his piranha tank.
"She's back, boss and she's brought gifts." Syonide said with a grin. Tobias turned and saw me and gave a slow clap.
"Well well well. My freelancer does it again!" he said moving over to me and I just stood there and held up the bag for him to look inside. He leans over and peaks inside before smirking again. "I am most pleased, Seren." He snapped his fingers and a man in black came over and took the bag from me.
"If that is all-"
"You look tired." he interrupted and I looked up at him to see his vibrating eyes looking me over. Slowly he raised his hand and gently ran his large thumb down my cheek slowly. "And you're filthy. How about you get cleaned up, I'll feed you, bring you some fresh clothes, and then you can be on your way." I leaned back some a sign that made him frown a bit.
"I am sorry Mr. Whale, I couldn't possibly burden you like this. I am sure you are tired and in need of rest yourself, now that your competition is eliminated." He raised his phone.
"Your contract with me today is still open until 5 am or until I check you as cleared on the app." he reminded me and I tilted my head some looking him over before nodding once. He was right. If he didn't clear me I will not get paid until 5 am.
"Alright." I responded lightly and he smiled in victory and raised his arm toward Syonide.
"Syonide my dear, let's get her cleaned up." he said.
I hated hot water, it made my skin jump. It had to be the perfect warmth. I ran my fingers over my hair and once I was clean, I slid the glass door open to see Syonide standing there with something black in her hands.
"A gown and silk panties… I think you'll find them comfortable." she said. I looked her over.
"What do I need a gown for?" I asked quizzically and she just smirked and left them on the white marble sink.
"Who knows? What will you need them for?" she asked before stepping out of the room. I rolled my eyes and they fluttered close. This man is something else. Once I was dried, I sat on the king size bed and lotioned my body. My back was to the door. I just remained seated as I ran the cherry blossom lotion across my arms.
"May I enter?" I heard Tobias' smooth tone and I looked up some in thought.
"I would be flattered you actually asked, if you hadn't made me shower in your room." I said looking over my shoulder at him. I nodded however knowing I couldn't deny him access to his own room. He was in the door way, only this time he was wearing only black briefs. He began to enter the room and that's when I noticed the impressively large bulge in his briefs. I wasn't slick, I turned away too quickly and this made him chuckle lowly.
"Oh is my freelancer shy?" he asked. I kept my cool and just continued to lotion my legs.
"There is nothing to be shy about when it comes to the human body." I said now turning to pick up the lotion, but he was there, hand stopping me now. We both looked at each other. I was a bit more on edge as he was relaxed like he knew I was not going to do anything against him.
"Do I make you uncomfortable?" he asked. I almost scoffed but I refrained.
"No." I said feeling his hand moving beneath mine to take the lotion. He looked to be studying me now and I just kept my calm stare.
"Does my skin make you uncomfortable?" he asked. I could hear the seriousness in his tone, and I tilted my head some removing my hand from the lotion bottle.
"No." I replied. I could care less what my boss' looked like. As long as they paid me we were square. Why he felt the need to ask me that however, I did not know. He looked me over once more before raising the bottle to me.
"Let me help you. I promise I'll be a gentleman." he said, and I tilted my head at his words not truly believing him. But I turned from him, exposing my back to him and just remained still. I could hear him pumping some lotion onto his hand and in a few seconds I felt his hands rubbing slow circles around my skin. I kept even breaths as I felt his hands moving up and down my neck massaging my skin. His thumbs begin to press firmly into my sides. I wouldn't deny the little massage felt nice.
"So tell me, how is it you got into this life?" he asked. I wasn't sure if I should answer. But then again, he didn't need to know. Should I up and tell him that?
"I'm a very private person. I am not allowed to get personal things with any of my employers." I replied.
"Aw now come now. I'm just striking conversation. A young girl like you, in a cut throat organization has to come with some baggage." he said. I couldn't tell if I should be offended by his assumptions or not, so I let it go.
"I had a good life, but decided to take on a new profession is all." I replied noticing his hands began to rub at my sides close to the middle of my stomach. The bed shifted mildly, and I looked over my shoulder with caution to see he was sitting down right behind me on his knees.
"A good life… you don't hear that every day." he said, his hands coming up onto my shoulders now. His scent washed over me completely, his hands were warm yet calloused as the rubbed my shoulders deeply. "You seem tense."
"Just cautious." I replied honestly. I knew if I was any other girl, I would probably be turned on, and truth be told, maybe I was. My body shivered at his touch and his natural male body scent made me feel light in the head. But such things could get you killed as well in this line of work. I had to be careful.
"Seren, you have no need to be cautious with me. I take care of my own." he said, and I moved to grab the lotion but he pulled the bottle back almost with a mischievous yet playful look on his face.
"But I am not your own." I said holding my hand out for the bottle. He looked at my hand and chuckled.
"Not yet." he said pumping some of the pink lotion into my hand. I kept eye contact with him as I began to lotion my chest, my hands running over my breasts. Like any man, his eyes drifted down and watched as my hands ran over my soft flesh. The air was thick between us. Once I was finished, I stood up and moved to slide the gown I was given on.
"What do you mean?" I finally asked.
"I want to offer you full employment here, working for me." he said leaning back and resting his body on his hands. I arched a brow moving back into the bathroom with the bottle.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Yeah you get things done and in a timely fashion. You're to the point and you don't disappoint me. I think you could be a valuable asset." he said, and I was admiring the panties left for me as he spoke.
"I already have a job." I said now cutting the lights off and exiting the bathroom. Tobias' eyes watched me as I moved over to the left side of the bed and towards the very nice night stand. I was sure there was a gun inside and this didn't sit well with me since it wasn't my gun.
"So? Quit your job and work for me. I trust you." he explained. I checked the time. Damn only midnight.
"No." I merely replied calmly.
"Whatchu mean no?" he snapped.
"You give your life to Freelance when you join. You want to leave, you die." I replied. "Plus, you require loyalty, but you don't intend to ever give it." His eyes hardened on me and he was standing up and walking over to me. I held my ground as he stood above me.
"You don't know nothing about me." he stated and I nodded.
"You're right I don't. But I know enough." I said. "I know you don't just want me to kill for you, I know your minions don't trust me and are itching to put a bullet in me because I am clearly better than them, and I know you are desperate to go balls deep inside me." In seconds, I found my body slammed on the bed, Tobias' large hand at my throat. It didn't cut my breathing off, but I could tell he was inches away from doing it.
"Girl don't get it twisted thinking you bad enough that you can talk back to me." he threatened. I could feel the power in his hand alone and remained calm and still, my eyes showing I did not plan to defy him.
"Am I wrong?"
Oh why was I pushing it? His face was inches from mine and he looked me over some, his vicious face lightening up some.
"Nah, you ain't wrong. You're actually right. I don't just want you to kill for me, you ARE better than most of my men here. And yeah I am curious to know how tight your pussy would be wrapped around my dick. But that doesn't mean you hold any authority in my house." he said. I just nodded.
"I understand." I said through clenched teeth attempting to move out from under him, but this only made him press further into me. I sneered now thinking he was starting to annoy me now.
"So when's the last time you got any?" he asked suddenly.
"Sex isn't my thing." I answered and now he laughed out now.
"Whatchu mean?" he asked.
"That's it." I said and now he glared some.
"Nah seriously you mean you've never done it?" he asked. I shook my head.
"Oh I've done it, numerous times. I just choose not to if I have the choice." I said blankly, and he just stared at me blankly before his eyes flexed some.
"Oh I get it. You gotta give it up tons of times for men to keep whatever assignment you are doing from being blown. And let me guess, they have never pleased you." he said, and I just looked away.
"You need to let me up." I said.
"I don't have to do anything until 5 am. Now am I right?" he asked. I sighed in annoyance before nodding.
"Sure." I replied.
"Girl don't get smart." he warned and I groaned.
"Okay fine, yes! So what? Sex isn't everything." I explained attempting to crawl out from beneath him. I hated the rule in not killing your employee unless they choose not to pay you. But it wouldn't make a difference anyways. This guy wasn't human and I couldn't have a target on my back from his gang anyways.
"It is if you gettin' it from the right person." he purred, and I looked his face over some with suspicion.
"What are you saying?" I asked and he smirked.
"Let me take care of you. Let me show you how good a real man's body can feel." he said. I felt the weight of his body bearing down on me, his groin slowly brushing into mine.
"And if I refuse?" I asked and he smirked.
"You won't." he said and in one quick motion, his lips peck mine. It was so fast, I shake my head at the action almost unsure of myself. He's smiling down at me in amusement. I couldn't deny I was mildly curious of what it would be like to bed a crime boss. But what if he's horrible? Then I would no longer take a contract from him again, plain and simple. Both our eyes softened within seconds and slowly we both leaned in and let our lips meet again.
