Being born into slavery, I never thought my owner, my very mother, would sell me. And she didn’t.
Until Matteo.
I was tormented, struggling to come to terms with my new life then he narrowed it down to two things.
Pleasure. Pain.
The man confused me at every turn with his unexpected and unattainable desires.
If only he’d speak to me.
If only he’d tell me how to avoid upsetting him.
If only I could please him.
**Disclaimer: This is a DARK erotic Italian Mafia story. There are twisted behaviors in this book not everyone will be able to handle. Explicit, violent, and sexual scenes are involved. Not for the wary of heart.**
A shiver ran through me. I was chained up in his basement. I’d never been restrained in such a way before. Madam never resorted to such means since she knew I never would’ve run. I had no desire to live free of enslavement. It was all I knew and all I wanted. However, feeling the cool breeze in the room and the even colder restraints on my skin made me wonder if maybe I had thought wrong all along.
“I can see from the look on your face that you’ve never been locked up before, and I see that’s where Madam went wrong with you. No, you didn’t want to escape, but you don’t know how to behave. No, you don’t truly know the extent to which a punishment can go. Don’t worry, that is going to change starting now. This will throw a wrench in my initial plans for you, but I refuse to let you go now. You are mine and will be forever, so get used to the idea.” Matteo leaned against the wall in front of me, sliding his hands into his pockets as if we were carrying on a completely normal conversation. He appeared entirely at ease while I struggled with all the new emotions flooding me. After a moment of staring at me, he pushed off the wall and stood close enough I could feel his body heat.
He reached down to pull his erection from his dress slacks. Sliding his hand over it slowly, he dragged the tip over my mouth.
“Suck it. Get me off and I’ll leave you alone for the remainder of the night. Fail to do so and I will start your punishment now,” he said as he shoved the hot, hard, musky flesh into my mouth.
I wanted to cry out that I thought the lashings from the belt had been my punishment. Instead, I sucked him down my throat and bobbed my head along his length the way he’d shown me he liked it done. The longer I sucked, the more my lips became numb and the more I realized that I really had no idea what being a slave was like.
Finally, he groaned and his release filled my mouth and throat before he pulled back. As he tucked himself into his pants again he yanked my hair so I was forced to look him in the eye.
“Welcome to the Italian Mafia way of life, bella.”
This book has slavery, rap, violence, and more. It is a dark story and if you have a problem
reading about those types of things then this book isn’t for you. I liked this book. Gia was raised in a horrible way. Her mother is a madam and even though Gia is
her daughter she is treated just like the girl she sells. Gia never though her mother would sell her as
she has turned down other offer for her.
Matteo went to find a good slave girl who could give him a child and get
his dad off his back. None of the girls
he saw were what he wanted then he was shown Gia and wanted her
immediately. However Gia wasn’t trained
like he thought she was. She knew some
things but not everything. What Matteo
didn’t expect was to develop real feeling for Gia. Gia has only ever known this type of
life. She wasn’t prepared for how bad
things could get though. She learns
there are all different types of pain.
While this book is dark there is a HEA at the end. I like books like this because life isn’t all
sunshine and roses for everyone. These
types of things happen. While they aren’t
nice they are happening. Matteo must
decide if he is going to continue to do what makes his father happy or what
makes him happy. I felt bad for Gia
because she spends most of the book confused and trying to figure out what she
did to displease Matteo. Matteo is stuck
between his feeling for Gia and what is expected of him. Matteo is the son of a mafia boss and things
are done a little differently in his world.
He feels so bad that because of him all these things are happening to
Gia. He keeps hurting her and doesn’t
want to keep doing it. Will he be able
to be with her and not hurt her in some way?
This book drew me in and I read it in a couple of hours. It was wonderfully written and the characters
are great. This is the first book I have
read by Rachel Orman. I look forward to
reading other books by her in the future.
Mother by day. Writer by night. I spend a majority of my day with my children and reading while my nights are filled with the sound of the keyboard as I work on my next work.
I have written in nearly every LBGT category as well as the traditional erotic romance category.
I love to try new things and learn from every piece of work I write. I'll write just about anything once to learn from it. I've even ventured out of my normal erotica genre into Monster Erotica. Doubt you'll find me writing anything not erotic as you can barely get me to even read something out of that category, but then again, you never know what I might try next.
Never stop learning. Try everything at least once.
Thank you for being a part of the tour and the great review!!
