Sold to the Mafia Boss

Night on the town

(Maria)

(TRIGGER WARNING! BE ADVISED TRAUMA, RAP.E AND DRUGS.)

The rest of the week flew by, between the diner and the coffee shop. I was beyond excited for tonight. I showered, making sure to use my body scrub and scented body wash. I shaved my legs, making sure not to miss a single hair. I got out and applied my favorite lotion. I wasn't sure what I would wear, since I'd never been out partying before. I walked over to my clothes. Nothing I owed screamed 'it's my birthday, buy me shots'. I eyed the walk-in closet for a moment before caving and going in. My mouth dropped the moment I saw all the beautiful dresses, designer shirts, and more. I ran my hands through all of them, checking the sizes. They were all my size. OK, that scared me a little.

My hands stopped on a sexy little bodycon black dress. It screamed 'birthday girl' all over it. I grabbed the dress and walked back into the bathroom. I dropped the towel that was covering my body, and slipped the dress on. It fits me like a glove, with its thin straps and a few rhinestones. I knew it would be perfect. I decided to let my hair down and curl it. I decided a smokey eye and a deep red lip would go great with this outfit. I applied my make-up and added some perfume to complete the look. Nothing says twenty-one like Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' perfume.

Tony (Bull) was waiting outside with the car door open for me. "Where to first, miss Maria?" He asked. His eyes looked me up and down. I couldn't tell if he was uncomfortable or if he was embarrassed by my outfit choice. "We are picking up my friend, Elaine. She lives a block from my old house," I said, getting into the car. Tony started the car and began to drive off the property. That's when I caught a glimpse of Tommy, standing outside the front door... Was he angry? He looked upset for some reason.

We pulled up to Elaine's home, and I went to get out and greet her. "Happy birthday sweetheart. WOW, that is some dress!" Elaine said, hugging me, then pulling back to look at me. "Thanks, you don't look bad yourself." Elaine wore a tight burgundy dress that hugged her body in all the right spots. Elaine was beautiful when she got all dressed up. At thirty-six years old, she looked hot. I even caught Tony eyeballing her up and down. "Shall we go?" Tony said, clearing his throat.

We got in and drove to LUX. I couldn't contain my excitement. It was a long shot of getting in because the place was so popular, but I didn't care. Tonight was my birthday and for once I felt free. Tony parked the car, and we all got out. Elaine and I went to get in line but I noticed Tony walking up to the bouncer outside. "Party of three for Miss Maria Cecil." Tony said to the bouncer. He checked the list in his hand, nodded and pulled the rope away, allowing us to enter inside. "How did you do that?" I asked. "You said LUX, so I made some calls and got you in beforehand." Tony said, rubbing the back of his neck.

We walked into the crowded club. Music is blaring, and the people are moving with the beat. Wide-eyed, I looked around, amazed at how gorgeous this place is on the inside. Booths lined up against the walls, stools filled at the bar, the dance floor is flooded with people bumping and grinding, and the VIP lounge is full except one table that reads 'RESERVED'. Tony leads us to the VIP and my breath catches in my throat. "Tony, you didn't have to." I said. "It's your birthday, I figured one special night would be worth it. If you need me, I'll be standing over there (he points to the nearby wall) to keep an eye on you ladies."

"So shall we order some drinks, or hit the dance floor?" Elaine asked. "Drinks first, then dance floor." I said with excitement. I raised my hand, and caught the attention of the waiter. He was good-looking, at least six foot five, with dyed hair, piercings and tats. "Ladies, how are we doing tonight?" He asked. His name tag reads 'Dylan'. He flashed a smile at me and I melted. "We would like to get some drinks. I'll take a cosmo." "And I'll have a martini," Elaine said. "Right away ladies." Dylan walked off and I squealed. "Well he certainly was cute." Elaine whispered to me.

I spot Dylan over by the bar, a few feet from us, with someone pulling on his attention as he tries to keep one eye on me. The moment his gaze lands on me, I feel a sense of electrifying warmth. I looked away, placing my attention on Elaine, who was eyeing Tony like a piece of meat. Dylan returns with our drinks, and I quickly down it in one go. "WOW, you must have been thirsty." Dylan responds. I giggled, and responded with, "Well, it is my twenty-first birthday."

"Well, I'm off in an hour. If you like, I can hang out with you so you have more company on your special day," he said. I smiled up at him. "I would love that. Seems like Elaine has other things on her mind." Elaine blushes and looks my way. "Sorry, it's just that Tony looks good." I roll my eyes and order another drink. We hit the dance floor, dancing until we're flushed in the face. Dylan was sitting at our table waiting for us with more drinks, which I immediately drank. "So are you having fun?" Dylan asked. "You bet your sweet ass I am." I yelled over the music. For some unknown reason, I get the chills and the feeling of another set of eyes on me. I looked around, Tony was sitting by Elaine talking, people were dancing. It must all be in my head.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU..." I was distracted by people singing while holding a cake, walking towards me. I look at Elaine, thinking she did this, but she shakes her head, signaling it wasn't her. Tony puts his hands up as well. I look at a smiling Dylan, singing along. I blush, holy shi.t. I had just met this man, and he had time to go get a cake.

I blow out the candles, and the entire club cheers before continuing their fun activities. I cut a slice of cake, eating it delicately. Oh.. My... Heaven. This taste amazing, a little odd, but amazing. I continued on with my birthday, drinking more, dancing and just having fun. I'm on the dance floor with Dylan, grinding my ass on his crotch, when I start to feel lightheaded. The room begins to spin. Dylan holds me up, so I don't fall. He walks me towards the bathroom, and I start to feel grateful. That was until I realized the bathroom was in the opposite direction. He walks me outside, the cool air feels great against my hot skin. I'm grateful that he's helping me, until he forces a kiss on my lips. His hands are running all over my body. I feel numb, and for some reason I can't fight him off.

"I promise, this will be the best birthday gift for you." My eyes widen as I realize what he's about to do to me.
