I gaze into Massimo’s eyes. I tell myself that I want my kidnapper to stay because I’m lonely, but the truth is I’m starting to see him as more than my kidnapper. Even though he hasn’t revealed what plans he has in store for me. I should interpret his evasiveness as a sign he intends to see this through all the way to the end, and that one day I’ll wake up in the bed of the winning bidder, but a part of me can’t believe Massimo would do that to me. Especially not now, with the way he’s looking at me.

His predatory eyes seem distant somehow, like an eagle watching its prey from afar. I should be afraid of that look, but instead it makes me curious, aroused. I know he wants to fuck me, but he’s holding back. Is it guilt over what he intends to do with me when this is finally over, or something else?

All I know is I want to keep him here with me as long as I can. All night preferably. So I have to continue talking.

“Tell me about your brothers,” I blurt out.

His shoulders lift defensively as he replies: “What do you want to know?”

“Oh, I don’t know, what you do together when you’re not working, what they’re like, normal stuff,” I tell him. “It sounds like you’re close. I’m close to my brothers, too.”

He nods. “We do normal stuff, as you say. Chill at the club. Have parties. Watch movies. Read books. Go on benders. We’re into rock climbing, sailing, and working out. Stefano is the cold, calculating one. Luciano, the artist. Enrico, the pimp. And Roberto, the lover.”

I gaze into his beautiful blue eyes. “Meanwhile, you’re a combination of all of them.”

He presses his lips together and shrugs. “I wouldn’t say that. I’m… darker… than all of them, I think. Because of what happened to me.”

I’m staring at those gorgeous lips of his, but the seriousness of his words brings me back to the present, and I look at his eyes. They seem sad.

“I’m sorry for what my father did,” I tell him. “Sincerely.”

“It’s not your fault obviously.” He shakes his head. “You shouldn’t have to pay for his sins. It’s just how the world we live in works.”

I don’t like being reminded of that reality, and I turn away, gazing into the bubble bath. I was trying to figure out how to invite him to join me in the tub, but now I’m not sure I want him to. The mood has definitely just taken a nosedive.

I don’t want him to go, though, so I decide to try to brighten it again: “What kind of books do you read?”

He looks at me, a glint of amusement in his eyes. He knows what I’m up to. “All kinds. Action and Adventure. Thrillers. Even Romances. You can learn a lot about the opposite sex from them. There’s a lot of downtime in this sort of business. You often find yourself waiting for a client to show, or a delivery to arrive.
