Elena rolled her eyes. Yes, Miss Kruger was rich, but she couldn't flaunt it all the time. But be that as it may, the girls hurried inside. Elena pressed the doorbell and began to Wait. The door opened three minutes later.
- Oh, Miss Lincoln, - Isaac smiled a timid smile and let the guests in.
- Isaac, who's there? - the amazing smells of food, Abba music and Daphne's voice came from the kitchen.
- Elena and her friend. Not Phoebe, - Isaac was disappointed.
Daphne came out to the guests in her home clothes and an apron. Now she was even nicer than before. Smiling radiantly, she took the bags of food from the girls and went into the kitchen.
- Well, you've got some food, girls, - the brunette took the bags into the dining room.
- We didn't buy the food, a certain Lou Miller and her girlfriend Debbie helped us, - Sophie hastened to justify herself.
Daphne didn't say anything. And a moment later Lou and Debbie came out of the living room.
- What a meeting, Miss Lincoln. Imagine, Deb, Daphne invited them too, - Miller hugged Elena.
- And you... - Lincoln was embarrassed by such a friendly display.
- Debbie is Daphne's deputy at Krug House, I'm her girlfriend. And then there's her brother, the cool hacker Nine, Tammy, her press attache, Rose, her secretary and her girlfriend, - Miss Ocean grinned. - Celebrating your upcoming deal
- Daphne, no plates... - Constance came out into the hallway. She was embarrassed when she saw Elena. A blonde of about 40 years old in an eccentric outfit and a slightly careless hairdo came out after the Chinese girl.
- Miss Lincoln, this is Rose Vale, my girlfriend, we met at Fashion Week in New York, - Constance smiled shyly at her boss.
Elena shook Rose's hand with feeling and went into the living room. There she met Tammy, an elegant, slightly dry blonde, and Nine, a perky African American with dreadlocks.
After meeting, the Girls set the table and, sitting cross-legged on soft pillows, began to devour the food prepared by Daphne. The beer flowed like a river and after a few bottles the jokes, teasing and laughter began. Elena was happy. She relaxed and started telling stories, jokes and other things. She felt good with these simple women.
"How about a bottle?" Daphne put the empty bottle in the middle of the room and spun it.
The bottle pointed at Nine. Daphne crawled up to her and kissed her. And the fun began. Every now and then the girls kissed under the laughter of their friends and comments from Isaac. Finally, it was Elena's turn. Her kissing partner was Sophie. Lincoln laughed and with a light, casual movement kissed the redhead.
"Shipped," Nine shouted, and the company burst into friendly applause.
Elena's POV.
Kissing Sophie ignited a flame inside me. I felt free and wanted to try something else crazy. I take off my ballet shoes and climb onto the table, fortunately the girls took all the dirty dishes to the sink. Isaac turns on Ed Sheeran's Nancy Mulligan on his iPod, turns it up to full volume and I start dancing to the whistles and cheers of my new girlfriends.
"Elena, burn!" Taylor shouts, and I feel completely free.
Oh my God, it feels so good. Not to keep my feelings locked up, to surrender to youth and freedom. I move more and more freely and, going to one side of the table, take Daphne's hand and pull her onto my dance floor. The others get up and start dancing around the table. Oh my God, I'm free! I've found myself! Maybe I should just forget about BDSM and find myself a boyfriend or girlfriend? Well, that's a good idea. I'll fly to New York, get myself a Facebook and Twitter and meet someone.
An unexpected doorbell interrupts our fun. We exchange glances. It's 11:40 p.m., we're not expecting anyone, the mansion is single, no neighbors...
Daphne jumps off the table and goes to open the door. A minute later I hear a scream of horror from the hallway and go cold...
"Well, hello, Daphne," Robert De Niro was standing on the threshold of Kruger's mansion.
Now he was dressed in black leather from head to toe. Tight, fitted black pants, a black shirt and a black jacket. The Cannibal's gaze radiated hatred and disdain.
"What do you need?" Kruger dealt with the shock and tried to pull herself together. Although it was difficult. She remembered very well what she had to go through, being deceived and seduced at the age of 16 by this monster.
"I was just driving by and saw a certain Miss Lincoln come in here. Do you want to form an alliance with her against me?" Robert growled, baring his fangs.
"And what do you care? Yes, Elena is my future business partner and a good friend. She is better than you, I know that you deprived her of business in France, and she came here for help," Kruger stepped towards De Niro and looked into his eyes courageously.
"She is better than me? Yes, she seduced your brother at 18 and he was a bottom for 5 years. She sold her body to rich perverted dominants to pay for her studies at Oxford. Elena Lincoln is a pathetic whore and a profit hunter. And I..." Robert reached out to Daphne's hair.
- A murderer, a scumbag and a cannibal, - Elena came out into the hallway with a glass of lemon martini. She heard everything and her face was distorted with hatred and anger.
- You're lying. I paid for Oxford myself, I defended my thesis myself. Isaac chose me in the BDSM club himself. He was the first to approach, the first to speak. You do everything to prevent me from getting what I want. But you picked the wrong one, - Lincoln approached De Niro and splashed Martini in his face. Then she swung and slapped the Cannibal King.
- Take your claws off Daphne and her brother, you monster and get out of here, - the blonde hissed.
Robert growled and began to change. He grew taller, his eyes turned cat-like and a moment later he became a demon cat. The monster bared his fangs and waved his paw. His sharp claws hit Elena's stomach, tearing her top. The girl jumped back and tried to protect herself. Covering important parts of her body with her hands. The demon advanced, licking his lips and growling.
"But I wanted it to be good, Lena. We could have been partners, I would have taught you freedom and the delights of the Dark life. But you chose the fate of my snack," Robert roared and drove the girl into a corner.
Suddenly, a noise was heard from the living room and a moment later a clot of light flew at the demon. It hit him between the shoulder blades and threw him away from Lincoln. The girl raised her head and saw Lou, who spread her arms in a magical gesture.
"Come on, kitty, the girls have had a drink. You know, talking to drunk women is a psyche fuck," Miller said in a calm tone.
The demon turned around and growled something, quickly moving his clawed paw, tidied up Elena's clothes and healed her wounds.
- We'll talk when you're sober, Elena. You'll answer for the martini, your letter, and your behavior at the ball. - Robert returned to his normal appearance and disappeared.
POV Elena
I'm sitting on the threshold of the mansion with a beer and I don't understand a fucking thing. Lou is bright? Why did Robert listen to her? What connects them?
- He saved me once, - Lou sits down next to me.
- What? This creature? He's a monster! He's not a human, - I'm shocked.
- He's a human, just with a terrible fate. He survived the horrors of war and became like this. And about the monster... He was born into a royal family of cannibals, and that explains a lot. As for me, I once experienced financial difficulties. My then-husband set me up big time. And I was a beggar. I sold bootleg alcohol to different places. One of those places was the Nobu restaurant. Rob saw through me and asked why I was doing this. I got drunk then and blurted everything out to him. And he helped me. We became business partners. He knows what poverty and deprivation are, and he tries to provide his retinue with everything they need. He saved me and didn't ask for anything in return. We never even slept together. Although I dreamed about him. And then I met Debbie and fell in love, forgetting about all the men. Debbie made me believe in love. She is faithful, reliable, caring. I see the same qualities in you, Elena. You just haven't met your person yet, - Lou hands me a new bottle of beer.
- And I don't think I ever will. I... I have mental problems. To get excited, I need to spank a young guy. In short, I'm a Dominant. And it can't be cured, - I lower my eyes.
- Robert has the same problem. What if you can help each other. What if the one who broke you can fix you? Try getting closer to him. Yes, he is a monster, yes, he is a cannibal, but as far as I understand, he has never chased a girl before. You see, he missed many of the basic periods of his growing up, because of the war and subsequent wanderings and searching for himself in life. You at least have an idea of ?normal relationships. And he ... no. He spent all his relationships as a dominant, thanks to Martin Scorsese, - Lou spits out this name like a curse.
- And who is he? - For the first time, I am interested in Robert's life. I knew that he had a difficult childhood, but that it was so ... And I thought. I was unlucky in life.
- Dark Advisor. They say that he seduced Robert at 15 and made him his submissive, well, and then dominant. He taught cruelty and dark magic. Of course, I do not know the whole truth. But such rumors are circulating, - Lou lights a cigarette.
- Unlikely, Lou. They are the same age, - I say, quickly Googling Scorsese. A decent-looking elderly short man with glasses looks like a typical submissive. There is no authority or grandeur in him.
- Okay, you will find out everything yourself. Listen to your heart, it is never wrong, - Lou hugs me and leaves.
