Mia’s pov
After about an hour, the dinner finally came to an end and I couldn’t be more relieved. I had managed to eat more food than I expected into my stomach, which was a great thing because at least now I won’t get to live the last moments of my life on an empty stomach.
I slowly got to my feet and began to pack the plates, wanting to clear the table as a way to stall since I had no idea of what’s coming, but I knew damn well that it’s not gonna be good.
All I had managed to pick was a plate before Lorenzo spoke, making me halt my movements.
“Leave them be.”
All he said were three words, but those words were enough to make me become even more nervous than I was throughout dinner, if that was even possible.
I let out a stuttered breath and mumbled something unintelligible before hesitantly dropping the plate and sinking back into my seat.
Lorenzo let out something that sounded so much like a scoff before he got to his feet and moved off to wash his hands. Once he was done, he dried it and poured himself a glass of alcohol which he threw back at once. His dinner was still extremely full on his plate, he obviously didn’t eat out of it while he made sure I ate mine and I knew when to be well behaved and to do as told, despite how it felt like I was gonna faint because of how nervous I was.
He walked towards the entrance of the kitchen and paused at the entrance, then he motioned me over. My beast began to thump so fast, I felt certain that he could hear it as I hesitantly rose from my seat and made it over to him. He took one king glass at me before motioning for me to follow him.
As we exited the kitchen, I expected him to lead me out of the house and into his car, then he’d drive over to where my life was gonna end. So many thoughts kept flowing through my mind but a part of me registered the point that we weren’t heading outside the house like I had initially thought, but we were instead making our way up the stairs.
That didn’t lessen my nervousness in any way but made me more nervous in a way. As we got to the hallway where our rooms were located at, I bit on my bottom lip and tried to control my breathing sounds as I obediently followed him down the hall. When we passed the door leading to my room, the nervousness trapped in my chest tripled at once and I forced my hands to remain still by my side when he finally stood outside a door which I had a feeling belonged to him.
I was proved right when he opened the door and motioned for me to get in before him. I did as told, obediently walking in and standing in the room awkwardly, not knowing what we were doing here of all places. As my eyes wandered around, so did my heart rate rise even more. His room screamed his personality loudly with how dark it was. The aesthetics were nice in a way, but I couldn’t actually focus on that right now because I had no idea what was gonna become of me tonight.
Lorenzo shut the door after him but didn’t lock it, not that it created any difference since we were all alone in this apartment and the main entrance to the house was already locked. And if it was also unlocked, it still didn’t make any difference because if I attempted to run out of here, he was gonna effortlessly catch me then I’d have only automatically worsened my situation that way. Which was why I didn’t bother dwelling on that for a moment longer.
Lorenzo moved from the entrance of the door and moved off to sit in a couch position at the far end of the room. His legs were spread in front of him and I gulped emptily before averting my gaze.
“Take off your clothes.”
It felt like I had heard wrongly at first and so I blinked dumbly at him, heart racing as I mumbled. “Huh?”
Lorenzo eyed me with his gaze narrowed at me without saying anything else. I knew I had definitely heard right. The room had been extremely quiet as hell before he spoke so there was no way I had heard wrong.
I had definitely heard right.
I bit on my bottom lip while contemplating on what to do. I knew I couldn’t question him right now, and refusing to do as told was only going to worsen my current situation. And so, after letting out a deep and low sigh, I gripped my tank top and squeezed my eyes close before tugging it over my head and dropping it on the ground. It took about a minute before I managed to get my eyes open, and my eyes locked with Lorenzo’s at once.
Mortified color filled my cheeks and I instantly averted my gaze as I proceeded to take off the shorts as well. I made sure to remind myself that he had seen me naked before, but that didn’t manage to help stop my heart from racing. I reminded myself that he had undoubtedly seen a lot of naked bodies so this is like a normal thing for him, as I pushed my shorts down, and then my panties.
The lights in the room were bright, so Lorenzo could see every inch of me from his position on the couch, and that made me feel extremely mortified and uncomfortable. Lorenzo remained silent for minutes and I squirmed nervously till he motioned for me to head over to the huge bed which I had avoided looking at since I stepped foot in here.
“Get in the bed.” It was an order, one which I obeyed even though I didn’t want to, even though it felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest.
I laid in the soft bed and even though my body instantly wanted to relax at the feeling of the bed underneath it, the nervousness coursing through my veins prevented me from doing that. And so I remained taut in the bed while being buck naked. When Lorenzo moved from the side of my eyes, my heart went back to being lodged in my throat and I could do nothing but hold my breath as he closed the distance in the room till he was at the end of the bed.
Moments later and he was climbing into it, and over me. My heart crawled into my throat and I automatically attempted crawling away from him, but a grip on my ankle prevented that from happening.
“What do we have here?” He murmured once his body had mine blanketed in the bed. Our bodies weren’t touching but it felt like there was no space between us. My mouth opened and closed but nothing came out.
