Chapter 9

Don Corneo liked to believe he was good to his girls. He didn't torture them like so many other pimps did, no, he payed them, he sheltered them, he fed them, and he offered them great pleasures. He just couldn't understand why some of them walked about as if they'd rather die then live as a Honey Bee. Too many of them wanted to escape. They wanted to take what he'd given them and run.

Aerith, his favorite one, wasn't like that. He loved her more then anything, and that was dangerous. He shouldn't be allowing himself to get attached, the girls were only good for so long and it seemed that Aerith wasn't one who could handle the business. Since she'd been brought in, she had lost weight, her beautiful skin was always pale and covered with bruises, and her eyes just seemed dead. This vacation to Italy would surely pick her spirits up. He'd take her out to see the town and then he'd treat her to dinner. That would get her weight up, he'd bathe her in the a wonderful bath, making sure that every inch of her was cleaned before taking her to his room and making love to her.

It wouldn't be rough like it usually was, he needed to show her exactly how much he loved her. He wanted to massage her, to feel every inch of her while working out her sore muscles. He wanted her to moan, to moan his name when he entered her slowly. He wanted to devour her lips and hear her muffled moans as he thrust into her.

"Aerith... my sweet Honey Bee." he groaned and looked down at his erect penis. He wasn't going to call Aerith to his room this time, he wanted her to rest, they would have all month for him to gain her trust and love. But he wouldn't be calling any other girl either, he could handle it himself.

He grabbed himself, imagining that Aerith was the one wrapping her lips around his member, bobbing her head up and down. He moaned her name, picking up speed, but then slowing down. He needed to make this last, to prepare himself for when he made love to Aerith.

She was young, he thought, much younger then was legal for him to be with. But age wouldn't separate him from her. He'd taken her many times already, and he almost wished she'd arrived a virgin so he could be the one to introduce her to this world, but it was fine. Soon, he would be the only man she wanted...

"Aerith..." he slowly rubbed the head of his penis. She would be nervous, he new that, he'd had to punish her a few too many times. Her body was riddled with bruises from both he and a few rough clients. But he'd heal her, and she'd love him back for it, and if she didn't... Then he'd have to get rid of her.

Zack had purchased more for her than she'd wanted. A few pairs of pants and even some shirts. It was nothing like what she used to wear, they were sweatpants and long sleeved shirts and they were all dark colors, but she was glad for them. For the first time since she'd arrived, she was fully covered. She tried on the clothes and sighed, this would be hard, but it would be a break from all of this. She only had to worry about a one man, and that was Don.

According to Zack, he was going to be brutal, more than usual. That's how he usually was with the girls he singled out. She knew how sadistic the man could be, he'd beaten many of the other girls in front of her. She'd seen how a grin broke out on his face whenever they begged him to stop... She shuddered, she wouldn't be giving him any reason to hurt her.

She took off the clothes, she wanted to save them for the trip and as she stood in her underwear, there was a knock at her door. "Just a minute!" she assumed it was Zack, "I need to get dressed." There was a sound, this person obviously had a key. She threw the clothes under her bed, suddenly unsure about them. How would Don feel about them?

"Aerith, my dear." he entered the room and closed the door behind him, "I wanted to talk to you."

She crossed her arms over her chest and sat down, hiding as much of her body from him as possible. He'd seen it all, inside and out, but she still did it anyway. "Yes? What is it?" she asked. She was trying to sound sweet, but she was sure she only came off as tired.

"I just want to let you know what's in store." he said. He closed the distance between them and pulled her up. His hands slid down into her underwear and grasping her butt, he pulled her closer and planted a kiss on her shoulder. Her heart began to race and he chuckled, "No, we won't be having sex, not today at least. I have so much planned for us tomorrow."

"Like what?" she wrapped her arms around him, because just standing still always made him angry.

"Oh, it'll be a surprise." he said, "It'll make up for the fact that I'll be leaving you alone so much."

"Alone? Why?" she asked, but she didn't really care. She was actually excited.

"As you know, some girls have been plotting to escape. They've stirred some emotions in the others and I need to get rid of them." he said, "I'm scouting replacements."

"But, don't you usually order them?" at least that's what he'd done with her. She wasn't sure how he often he even needed to get new girls.

"I do, but I've learned I can't count on anyone brought in by my usual suppliers." Don buried his face in her chest, taking a breath, "They just snatch woman off the streets and then we've got a bunch of rebels. I need girls who want to do this." Aerith couldn't understand who would want to do this for a living, but she knew they existed. Some of the girls seemed to love what they did, they offered to give her tips and had even gone out to find more clients for Don. These were the type of girls that Don trusted. They were allowed to go out and live outside of the hotel, because they always came back.

A part of her wondered if Don would ever trust her enough to live like that. Sure, she'd run the moment she got the chance, but maybe all she needed to do was pretend long enough to plot an escape... "Is that how they got you?" Don asked. His hands slid up and down her back slowly and she shivered.

"Uh, Yes. I was on my way home." she said. She wondered suddenly how her mother had taken the news. How her entire family had, actually. She knew she missed them more then anything, but did they feel the same way?

"It was for the best." He said, "We're together now."

"Together?" she questioned. She hoped he wasn't implying what she thought he was. She didn't want any kind of relationship with this man.

"Well, not yet. But i'm hoping this trip will bring us closer then usual." he kissed her again, this time his tongue found it's way into her mouth. She tried to kiss him back but he ended it, "Maybe we'd even get married." He let her go and she hurried to put on a happy face. "I can see you're excited." he smiled back, "Get some rest, it'll be a long car ride." He left the room and she sat down, relieved. Tomorrow would be a stressful, but if she played her cards right, she'd get him to trust her and she'd get home.

A/N: I told myself not to let this go without an update for too long, but I started work. I can make a billion more excuses but it's better if I just update as much as possible in the next few days. But also, this is a new chapter that wasn't in the old one.
