Don's Blackmail

He got on the bed and pulled her to its middle, roughly enough to make her bounce on it. When he hovered his huge frame on top of her, tears welled up in her beady little eyes and they glittered in the moonlight.

"Is my princess crying?..." He cooed and she immediately turned her face to the side because she didn't want to show him her vulnerability. But he forcefully grabbed her jaw and turned it to face him making her lips to pucker out. He gave her plump lips a tantalizing swipe of his tongue before taking them in a brutal kiss as she helplessly squirmed under him. She moaned as he deepened the kiss, biting and licking as if he couldn't get enough.

Letting go of her lips with a suckling sound, he kneed her legs open and got in between them. Bracing his hands on the either side of her head, he started pepper kissing her jaw, as if he was trying sooth the harsh grip of his fingers.

Using one hand he peeled down her top to reveal her naked bosoms because she wasn't wearing a bra. His breath staggered with lust when he saw her soft swells and the dark pink nipples.

Kate tried her best to keep her mouth closed as he trailed his wet lips down her neck, kissed her collarbone and dipped further down.

It was all too much for her and she couldn't take it anymore; So, she decided to do something she thought that she would never have to do in her life – Beg for her dignity.

"Please...Quisito p-please stop...d-don't do this" Kate sobbed, when she felt him kiss the valley between her breasts.

He sighed in frustration and looked up to meet her tear-stained face and quivering lips that murmured silent pleas.

"Why don't you just relax and enjoy what I'm giving you like a good girl...." He purred, as he placed a gentle kiss on her exposed throat.

"B-but I...don't want this"

"And what makes you think that you have a choice....hmm?" he husked, while nibbling on the spot where her neck met her shoulder. She was so tensed that he could feel her heartbeat against his lips.

Kate was defenseless, but vengeful. Now she had no choice other than to submit herself to satiate his hunger but she vowed in her heart that she would get back at him and bring him to his knees for every thing he was going to do to her.

"Why aren't we eating......I'm hungry...." Katelyn whined, looking at her father who was swallowing the pills he had to take before dinner "We are waiting for someone sweetheart, he'll be here any minute now" her father replied, after drinking water and clearing his throat.

"I would have eaten in my room......if you had told me earlier you know" Kate said grumpily as she stared at her food.

Kate loved and appreciated her father for the little time he kept aside for spending with her because of his busy schedule. She was her father's whole world and he did everything to fill the gap of her deceased mother. Kate used to argue with him frequently, but ever since he developed a heart condition, she has been very cautious not to speak anything that might upset him. She hated eating along with his other friends from the mafia but the love for her father never let her deny him.

"Actually, you might remember him; you have seen him a few times before. It will be good to rekindle the old friendship" her father suggested.

Kate could suddenly think of many of her friends from mafia who were the same age as her.

"Is it Luther?....No wait....it should be Sam...-"

"No its DON QUISITO" her father's reply cut her off, completely silencing her. She would have definitely fallen down if she wasn't sitting. His name echoed in her mind again and again, causing her face to go pale.

"Are you alright?" her father asked, concerned at her quick change of emotions. "I'm fine...you should have...given me a heads up...or...something..." Kate mumbled, while sipping water so she could compose herself.

Don Quisito was her father's most trusted partner and has even saved his father's life once. But there was a secret only Quisito and Kate knew and if at all her father comes to know about it, she was as good as dead.

"He should have been here by now....oh wait...THERE HE IS" her father spoke with excitement, making Kate look up to meet the last person she wanted to see on Earth.

Quisito entered like a king, with a pregnant woman by his side. The moment they reached the table, he pulled out a chair for the woman.

"It's a pleasure to have you over; please sit" her father gestured.

"Thank you, it's a great to see you too Winston" Quisito greeted her father back as he took a seat exactly opposite to her, with her father at the foot of the table, between them.

"Pleased to meet you too....Kate" Quisito spoke in a casual tone. "Um....nice to meet you... sir" she gave a polite nod. She could practically feel her heart pumping wildly in her chest, making her feel light headed.

"How is your heart ?" Quisito enquired Winston, who replied in a subtle manner about his degrading health and the worry of his only daughter's future. Eventually they navigated into other topics and in between the conversation Kate learned that the woman's name was Lena and that she was 9 months pregnant.

Kate was trying hard to act casual but sweat kept on forming on her forehead, which she kept on wiping at equal intervals. The hunger she felt minutes ago had magically disappeared and all she wanted to do was to leave the atmosphere. She couldn't even breathe properly while she was in the same room as Quisito.

"Kate.....I see you haven't touched..your..food" Quisito enquired, at the same time touching Kate's foot under the table with his shoe, making her jump lightly in her spot.

"What's... wrong ?" Lena asked, unaware of Quisito's act even though she sat next to him.

Kate was trembling inside but she managed to keep a neutral tone "No...nothing. I think I'm not feeling well. I'll have my food upstairs....in my room" Kate looked at her father, who nodded, giving her permission to leave the table.

Kate stood up and walked away as the maids carried the food behind her, not even once glancing at Quisito, who was watching her every move like a hawk.

Kate took the food inside and thanked the maid while closing the door. Her hunger returned and so she sat on the bed to satisfy her growling stomach. Kate chewed on her food while absently calculating her future.

She could not stop thinking about how he touched her leg under the table.

Was that a.....warning ?

For some reason her mind kept on telling her that Quisito was bad news. Sure, her father has met with Quisito before but this was the first time he has invited Quisito over for dinner. Kate hated the fact that Quisito was invited for dinner because it was also an invitation to stayover for the night; That was one of the ways in which men of mafia made their bonds stronger.

Kate was rinsing her mouth when she heard a knock on her door.

"In a minute" Kate informed the person on the other side of the door as she dried her hands. Kate tensed before opening the door but her father's voice calmed her nerves.

"Don Quisito will be staying in the room next to yours" her father said as soon as she opened the door

Noooooooooooooooo!

Her heart sank.

"But I thought we gave the top floor to the guests....." Kate asked, her voice more like pleading.

"Quisito is like family. We have been doing business together for a long time. That room belongs to him" her father explained.

"Thanks for the dinner, Winston" Quisito's voice boomed across the hallway as he walked towards them.

"You are saying thankyou for a dinner? I'm indebt to you my whole life" Winston raised his hands in the air. "Welcome to your room Quisito" her father guided him into the room but instead of looking at the room, he looked at Kate, who was trying very hard not to melt every time he was near her.

"Lena...make yourself comfortable. I'll join you soon" Lena complied Quisito as the maids carried their luggage behind them. Her father also left, leaving Quisito and Kate behind.

"So we meet again.....Princess" Quisito cooed, adding a little rasp to the last word. Kate gulped as she looked up to meet his cold blue eyes, staring at her with intense scrutiny.

"Yeah...hi. I-I-it's been a long t-time.." Kate stuttered, fear evident in her voice.

"So what's up with your studies?" he asked, as if trying to have a normal conversation.

"I-I'm being taught online....since the world outside is dangerous for me" she replied in a sad voice.

Kate had a tragic life and her situation was no different than a bird stuck in a cage. She used to go to school until an attack happened. It was an attempt to kidnap her but many innocent lives were lost. Ever since that day, she took online classes.

"Demons of this world will always have eyes on angels like you. So it's safer when you are inside" Quisito's gaze burned into her, as if he was the demon.

"I-I should go. It's bedtime; Good night" Kate said, while skillfully slipping inside her room through the tiny gap between the door and the wall and slamming it close on his face. She let out a sigh of relief having got out of the talk.

As she prepared the bed Kate instructed herself to ignore the sounds next door if at all Quisito and Lena engages in some sort of sexual act. This was one of the main reasons her father allotted top floor to the guests. Most of the brought along more than two women and the sounds that escaped from their rooms at night were inappropriate for her ears. Kate expected the same from Quisito but after a formal conversation, everything went silent next door.

They must be tired from travelling – Kate thought to herself. After studying for a half an hour, she shut down the lights and drifted off to sleep.
