“So this is the peace offering huh?”
I was piss scared lying on the floor in the centre of a large warehouse, if I actually had the possibilty of moving any of my limbs I would be running away right about now.
But I was wrapped up tight with duct tape from right below my nose to my toes.
The most I could manage was to moan pathetically and squirm like a little worm.
Vinny De Luga was standing over me, and biting down on his cigar.
“It’s not every day I get a gift of this quality. Sal, Nate take him up to my office, I’ll be there soon. I just need to finalize the details of this peace treaty.”
I craned my neck as much as I can too see my brother. I look into his eyes, pleading, begging that he doesn’t do this, but it was useless, he didn’t even look down at me. He just walked up to Vinny, “So we get Southside and River crossing, your turf becomes central and Blueridge.”
I felt two thugs pick me up like a rolled up carpet and they started carrying me away.
The last thing I heard was my brother telling Vinny that he expected the De Luga dealers to be out of Southside by the end of the week.
The office was quiet. I was on the floor on a thick Persian carpet. I could smell cigar smoke hanging in the air. I looked around at the office in the dim light from the desk lamp, it was well furnished but the taste was tacky.
How could I even think about taste at a time like this.
I wriggled my wrists trying to confirm that I had zero movement. I did the same with my legs.
There was absolutely no give in the mummified prison I was in.
How could Caleb do this to me. We were supposed to inherit dad’s empire together, we were going to be the Kings of the city.
The door opened and Vinny sauntered in, he took a seat looked down at me and took a drag from cigar. When he spoke it was like he had read my mind, “Only room for one king in a kingdom.” he blew out the smoke and the cloud descended hitting my nostrils, a hint of cherry.
Vinny leaned forward, “In this kingdom we have an opening for a slave. And well your brother said you are available so naturally I accepted.” he lounged back into the chair.
I tried my best to squirm so I could maneuver myself to look him in the face. I rolled and thrashed and grunted trying to turn my mummified body around.
“That’s right. Squirm like the slave you are.” I heard his voice but it did not deter me. After a good few minutes I had managed to turn myself around and now I could at least see Vinny.
Now here is the shocking part… I actually had a huge crush on him, he was a strong and confident leader of the rival gang. The taboo of any sort of romance between the De Luga’s and the Mc Dougles’ made it an extreme turn on for me.
Being here at his feet was different though, it was scary. He was a lot more imposing up close.
I watched from my cocoon as he pulled off his jacket and started rolling up his sleeves, “The McDee whelp at my feet. Your brother can really drive a bargain.You know what’s the dick on the donkey, you weren’t even part of the bargain. He just felt like giving me a little gift out of good faith. Like I said only one king in a kingdom.”
I bit down on the penis shaped gag that was filling my mouth. As angry as I was I had to hand it to Caleb he acted quick. I was under the illusion we were gonna do this together but I actually knew he never wanted to share dad’s business with anyone.
I glared at Vinny, he took off his tie and pulled his suspenders off his shoulders. He opened the top buttons of his shirt, revealing some chest hair poking out. He was quite tall and very well built, his chest pulled the buttons on his shirt taught and the sleeves were spanned to their max around his thick biceps. There was a tapestry of tattoos covering his forearms.
I watched Vinny take drag after drag from his cigar, blowing the smoke in my direction every time.
“So whelp. You belong to my empire now. That means you do as I say. You go where I tell you to go. You say what I tell you to say.” Vinny got up out of his chair and walked closer to me, until he took my chin in his hand and blew a puff of cigar smoke in my face, “The good thing is I protect everyone in my empire, that now includes you.”
I inhaled some smoke and when it reached my lungs I started coughing, contorting my strictly bound body to get away from the smoke, but his strong hand had a firm grip on my chin and I couldn’t get away.
“Oh, I can tell you will love it here.” he smiled from ear to ear and licked the tip of my nose.
