“It’s not right that you had to shoulder this kind of burden alone,” Helios stated. “When we get back home...with MJ, we’re going to change a couple of rules.” His eyes narrowed at his treasurer. “And fair warning, my friend. You will probably be grounded.”
Andreus pretended to look scared. “Not that, President. Anything but that.”
When Helios and Kellion got on their bikes, Yuri held back, waiting for the other two to leave before asking Andreus, “Is that why?”
Andreus feigned ignorance even as his body tensed at the younger man’s question. “Is that why what?”
“Does my sister know that’s the reason you think you’re not good enough for her?”
Andreus exhaled. Damn Yuri for being fucking straightforward as ever. “No,” he said finally.
“You should tell her,” Yuri suggested calmly. “Otherwise she’ll keep thinking the opposite.”
“The opposite?” he echoed blankly.
“That you think she’s not good enough for you because she’s damaged.”
Chapter Ten
GRACIE EYED HER BEAU in pleasant surprise as he arrived in style on her doorstep. In the past, Helios Andreadis had come to her dressed in his usual shirt and jeans, but tonight he had definitely dressed up. He wore an elegant tux, the design she recognized as something likely to have set him back by several thousand dollars. “You look wonderful, caro,” she murmured.
Malicious enjoyment glinted in his leonine eyes. “I thought I should dress up for this very special occasion.”
She brought her lips up for a welcoming kiss and again, his lips were violently passionate, making her whole body shiver in excitement. She loved this the most about Helios, the way he did not lose his edge no matter how many times they came together. With the other men she had dated in the past, they would gradually mellow and become clingy, forcing her to either break up with them...or have them disposed of by her father’s men.
Inside the limousine, Gracie tried to come on to him, running her hand over his thigh. He knew he should take the bait, but he was too fed up with her brand of passion. Wanting to get things over with, he roughly pulled her towards him until she was face down on his lap. “See if you can make me hard.”
She eagerly unzipped him. “Yeeeees...”
As Gracie took his cock into her mouth, Helios’ hand went under her long, slinky black gown, fingers creeping on her body until he found her panties. He ripped them off her body and sank his fingers into her pussy. It was the first time he had fucked her this way, but he knew she was beginning to have questions and they had to be addressed before they got to her father’s place.
Gracie’s moans around his cock filled the limousine.
His fingers moved rapidly, Helios using every skill he had in his possession to bring her to a powerful orgasm.
By the time they reached their destination, Gracie was done reapplying her makeup, and she was smoothing out the creases on her gown. Glancing at Helios, she saw his frown as he took in the façade of the abandoned warehouse. “Don’t be fooled by its appearance. We have the loveliest facilities below.”
“Below?” Helios asked as he put on the mask Gracie handed him, a requirement for such gatherings. He stepped out of the limousine first and as he offered his hand, he saw her having trouble holding her gown and handbag at the same time. “Let me hold that for you.”
Gracie handed him her purse. “Thanks.” She looked down at her feet as she came out, thus missing the way Helios handily slipped his Swiss knife into her bag. It was the only way he could sneak a weapon into Manolito Chavez’s compound.
“This factory was once a mental hospice,” she relayed to him with a giggle. “It has its own dungeon, which Daddy thinks is really cool.”
“It is cool,” he agreed. “Are there some original chains left?”
“That and more,” Gracie promised.
The flush in her cheeks made him ask smoothly, “Did you receive the gift I sent you?”
Pleasure shone in her eyes. “Oh, yes,” she said merrily. “I took a sip of it just before leaving. It was wonderful.”
If that was true, then she should be unconscious in thirty minutes. Surely that was enough time for him to find MJ and get her out of here. The abandoned warehouse was as heavily guarded as it had always been, men patrolling the premises every five minutes, but unlike in the past, none of them cared to hide the fact that they were fully armed.
Lots of strings had been pulled for tonight’s event then, Helios observed. How many politicians had been bribed for this supposed celebration to push through? Worse, how many of them were inside this very place, all of them possessing depraved souls in their bodies, wanting to “feast” on the flesh of unwilling women?
