Contracted For Pleasure

Chapter 5

***

She entered the restaurant with her chin high. Why? In the company of Jimmy Choo, Dior, and security guards, I can afford more than that!

Alexander led me to the far table, where a small group was gathered, and, quietly saying something to Eren, who had risen, stepped aside, unobtrusively nestling in the shade of a huge palm tree. Yes, yes! The restaurant's specialty - palm trees in tubs, a grand piano, crystal chandeliers. A mixture of chic and modern design.

- Aria," Eren reached up and pulled me to him, touching my lips with a brief kiss. - Sit down," he helped me to sit down, and then, sitting next to me, he called the waiter over, silently poked at the menu, showing me what to get, and... safely forgot about me, giving himself over to the conversation with the men sitting across from me.

I leaned back in my chair. Calm down, Aria. Calm down. You shouldn't care about such neglect. So what if you didn't introduce yourself to your interlocutors! You're not in a position to be introduced to anyone. Erens only needs to show "his girl" to these serious men so that they stop putting strange girls under him. That's all you're here for, so stop resenting him and make a face like a real blonde. What did Eren order for us? Steak and vegetables? Yeah, a real man's choice! It's good, though! No, it's not! It's delicious! Medium rare, crispy crust, amazing flavor. I even closed my eyes in pleasure.

And then she froze, realizing that the voices at the table had gone silent.

Cautiously, from under my eyelashes, I looked at the men sitting across from me. Why were they staring at me? Didn't they see people enjoying their food? Or are they hungry? Their eyes are glistening!

I decided not to pay attention to the strange reaction of the serious men, cut off a solid piece of steak and brought it to my mouth. Eren's hand on my thigh was a surprise. That's it, isn't it?

I twitched and almost choked.

- Ivar, so you agreed to Alex's terms?

Eren continued talking, as if nothing had happened, while his palm stroked my leg, going higher and higher. Wow! That never happened to us even in our youth, did it, Aria? To have our knees stroked in public like this.

- Not yet," said the gray-haired, distinguished-looking man sitting across from me. - I want to wait to see what the others have to say.

- What do you think, Jacob? - Eren stared at the short, stocky brunet. I wouldn't give him more than forty.

- That's a shitty offer," he said sharply. - If Lex wants to f**k with us, I say he's not going to get away with it. He's got the wrong guy.

- You shouldn't get too excited, David," Ivar said calmly. - There's no need to scare the girl.

He looked at me with a thoughtful gaze in his light, oddly yellowish eyes.

- Eren, I don't get it at all, why the f**k did you take it? - The dark-haired one raised his voice. - We agreed that we were going without women. Or do you, as always, not care about the others?

- Jacob, calm down," Eren replied evenly, but there was a clear warning in his voice.

- No, why, am I wrong? What the hell are you petting her for? You didn't have enough night, so you decided to bring her here? - The brunet glared at me, stretching his lips into a lecherous grin. - What, she's so good in bed?

- Shut up. Now! - My so-called partner sharply rebuked him.

I watched the scene with a detached expression. To be honest, the situation didn't bother me. I know it sounds silly, but everything that was happening was so different from my usual life that it seemed unreal. It was not me sitting here, but a complete stranger.

- What the hell... What are you, because of that whore...? - Jacob didn't finish, strangely choking on his words.

- Apologize," Eren ordered briefly.

- I'm sorry, Eren," the brunet wheezed.

- Not in front of me," my macho man said calmly. - In front of Aria.

David looked at me briefly with a sidelong glance.

- I'm sorry," he muttered, his brown eyes flashing angrily.

- Never mind," I smiled lightly. - Eren, I'll just be a second. To powder my nose," I stopped my partner's restless hand and stretched my lips even wider. - Don't be bored, boys, - rising from the table, I looked around at the tense men.

My first steps, under the scrutiny of three pairs of eyes, were not easy. Jimmy Choo, sweetheart, why do you make heels like that? I mean, you can't walk fast enough in them. You have to be a professional to be able to run beautifully in such shoes. Or rather, not to run, but to run away.

With difficulty she reached the ladies' room, plopped her purse on the sink countertop and stared at her reflection. What, Aria, have you broken out of your ordinary, boring life? Have you tasted adventure? Oh, did not like it? Tell me how gentle we are!

Shaking her hair, she looked thoughtfully at the window. The bars. Of course, did you think you could get away?

- Don't even think about it," he said in a low voice, and Eren's hands gripped my waist.

When did he show up?

- Don't think what?

- Get away from me.

- I didn't realize my presence at your little get-together was so necessary.

- If I want you near me, you should be near me. Did I not make myself clear yesterday?

Erens's palms moved lower, covering the half-circle of her buttocks.

- You don't remember the terms of our agreement well, do you? - He asked softly, not stopping his light, caressing movements.

- No, I don't.

- Maybe you didn't understand some of the points?

The movements have gotten stronger.

- No. Eren!

- Then why do I catch you trying to escape?

The light silk of the dress slid upward, and the man's fingers pulled back the fabric of her panties and traversed the damp folds.

- Eren, what are you doing? Someone could come in here.

I glanced toward the door and tried to twist out of the embrace that held me.

Eren ignored my question, continuing to stare intently into the eyes of my mirror double.

- Well? I'm waiting for an answer, Aria.

- What makes you think I was gonna run away?

- Don't make it worse, baby," his hot lips touched my neck. - A clean confession is a mitigating factor, don't forget that.

- Yeah? What kind of punishment are we talking about?

His breathing began to hitch.

- I guess I'll have to make it obvious," Eren said thoughtfully, his palm between my legs. - You've been a very naughty girl, Aria," the husky whisper echoed with a shiver of anticipation. - Remember, I don't like my requests ignored. Two weeks, Aria. For two weeks, you're mine.

Eren leaned me forward slightly, pulled the thin fabric of my panties aside, and entered sharply, never taking his eyes off my reflection.

I looked away, embarrassed, but Eren easily gripped my hair in his fist and whispered hoarsely:

- See also.

He pushed again, holding me in the crosshairs of his steely eyes.

A wave of excitement traveled through my body, my knees weakened, and if it hadn't been for the hands of the man holding me, I wouldn't have been able to stay on my feet.

- Look, Aria.

Eren grinned. He pushed in again, going deeper.

His movements were unbearably slow, teasing, unhurried.

- Eren...

- Punishment, baby," his partner grinned.

- Uh...

The tight knot twisting my insides forced me to squirm in an attempt to get the release I needed.

- Shh, shh. Take your time, Aria.

A sigh - and another push.

- Feel it.

The man's fingers traversed the swollen folds, fumbled for the languishing painful bump, and continued the torture.

- Eren!

- Yes, Aria. Yes.

I could feel my partner's tension, feel his heart beating hard, hear his labored breathing, but Eren wouldn't give up, wouldn't let me get my release.

Damn macho! How long is he going to torture me?!

Minutes fled one after another, and the torture continued.

The fear of being caught had receded into the background, staying at the edge of my consciousness and only adding to the spice of the sensation. The gaze of the gray eyes that never let me out of their sights, the skillful hands that drove me crazy with their touch, the hot flesh slowly torturing my body-that was what came to the forefront, overshadowing everything. And my own reflection. Was that disheveled, pale girl with the bright scarlet lips and dilated pupils like a drug addict really me?

Why should I be surprised, though? What Eren was doing to me... He methodically brought me to the edge and then backed away, not allowing me to be released. Time after time. That's the real punishment.

- Eren, please... Ahh... More....

But the partner didn't give up.

Finally, whether in pity or unable to hold back, Eren pressed in tighter and let himself go. He thrust violently into my body, making me moan, and I bit down on my palm, trying to hold back the sounds.

It didn't help. The release that swept through his body ripped a hoarse cry from his throat.

- Eren!

- Okay, baby... Good for you," the man replied quietly, pressing me against the countertop.

I looked up and met his intense gaze. Eren didn't look satisfied or pleased. His face had sharpened, sweat droplets glistening on his forehead, his breathing ragged.

- Try to remember, Aria," he said sharply. - I won't say it again-if I ask you to do something, you have to do it. Understand?

I nodded, unable to say anything. When had I become addicted to that hypnotizing voice?

Eren buttoned his pants, looked me over critically, adjusted my dress, and gently traced the outline of my lips with his thumb. The lust in his gaze confirmed the idea that he hadn't gotten enough satisfaction from our spontaneous s*x.

- Later, Aria," my partner replied quietly to my silent question. - Don't think you got off that easy.

He gave me another glance and nodded toward the exit.

- Let's go.

I turned the knob, about to step out, but the door wouldn't yield to my efforts.

- Uh, hold on.

Eren carefully turned the lock with the key and let me through the doorway.

- You closed the door," she turned and stared at the man.

- Of course.

- You closed the f*****g door and didn't tell me about it!

I looked at Erens indignantly.

- You have to admit, it spiced things up," my partner grinned, taking me under his arm.

- He's a liar," I grumbled, but I felt a twinge of gratitude for the prudent bastard.

Eren didn't say anything, just hummed uncertainly and led me down the corridor. A couple of minutes later we were already leaving the restaurant. As it turned out, my macho man knew the administrator, and we managed to use the staff exit. Now it was clear to me how Eren had gotten the keys to the bathroom.

It's only now that I finally realized exactly where I had s*x. Oh, my gosh! So much for being a pure homegirl. You're growing, Aria. Right in front of your eyes, you're growing up! James would go crazy if he found out.

Looking around, I realized we were walking towards the parking lot.

- Eren, uh.

- We're going to my place," his partner explained briefly.

- But...

- No buts, Aria," Eren looked at me calmly, jiggling the car key on his finger. - We had an agreement.

He intercepted my palm more comfortably and walked forward.

- It's a deal with the devil," I muttered, following my partner.

- I like your sense of humor, Aria," Eren chuckled.

He twirled the key fob in his hands, and a huge SUV parked nearby reacted to the owner's approach with a short beeping of the alarm and headlights.

- Please," Eren said, opening the car door in front of me.

The hint of irony in his voice made clear Erens's attitude toward conventional rules. He seemed to chuckle slightly at his own gallantry, and it was clear that he didn't usually bother with such "curtsies".

The interior smelled of leather and oranges. A round orange ball with a small green leaf and a thin petiole dangled next to the windshield.

She glanced at Eren, who was in the driver's seat, and caught his smile.

- Yes, I like oranges. In any form," the man grinned. - And you caught my eye, first of all, because of your bright orange juice.

- To Fresh," I corrected myself.

Mm-hmm. It looks like this very same frosh is going to be the leitmotif of our brief relationship.

- I think I know what I'll do when we get there," Eren said thoughtfully as he started the car.

- And what's that?

- I'm going to squeeze my own juice.

- Don't you think that sounds a little ambiguous?

- I don't know," the man said mockingly. - If you have such a twisted imagination.....

- Eren! I'm serious.

- Do I look like I'm kidding? I promise you'll drink fresh-squeezed orange juice every day.

- It's not a bad way to get allergies," I said thoughtfully. - But two weeks... I don't think anything will happen in such a short time.

Eren didn't answer. He stepped on the gas, and the car took off.
