Chapter 5
It had been weeks since Emily had been rescued and the library and pool could only keep her occupied for so long. She wanted nothing more than to lose herself for one night. She was determined to convince the boys to let her go out, even if one of them had to be stuck to her hip.
“So what are we gonna do today Manny?” she asked.
“We are going to read in the library. We are going to watch some movies, or we are going to go swimming.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes.”
“Can’t we go out? Please, please, please?” She was kneeling by his lap while giving him the best puppy-dog eyes she could while poking out her bottom lip.
“I’m not my brother; that won't work on me.”
“Thanks for the tip.” She jumped up, kissed his cheek, and took off to find Sal.
“Damn it.” He knew Sal would get him back for letting that slip. ‘Might as well get ready, I know he will give in,’ he thought to himself.
Manny hadn't even made it out of the library before he heard her start squealing in delight, thanking Sal. He knew it was going to be a long day.
“If I have to be subjected to the torture of shopping, so do you.” He ran his fingers through his hair and continued, “Besides, it is better if both of us are there to keep an eye on her.”
“Don’t know why you are acting like this will be torture to you. You know you have been wanting to take her out since her second week here.”
After 30 minutes everyone was ready and headed to their garage. Emily was impressed by the variety of cars they owned.
“Take your pick,” Sal stated.
“Huh?”
“Which car would you like to take?”
“I get to choose? Seriously?”
“If I wasn’t serious, I would not have said it.”
She walked around and inspected each one. There was a BMW X5, Range Rover Sentinel, Mercedes S600, Mercedes G63 AMG, and a Knight XV. There were several others but once she noticed the Dartz Prombron Black Shark she knew she wanted to pick that one.
“This one.”
“Perfect,” Sal said with a lopsided grin.
“By the way, I just realized I never asked this. Where the hell are we?”
“A tiny ass town called Chocowinity. We are going to Greenville since there is nothing to do here.”
“If you don’t like it then why did y’all choose to stay in a boring ass town then?”
“Because it had a house I fell in love with. Besides, if I need anything it is within driving distance or I could just order delivery if need be.”
“Doesn't delivery defeat the purpose of a safe house?”
“Only when you are around.”
“Very funny,” she chuckled. “So where are we going?”
“I already said we are going to Greenville.”
“I swear stupidity does not suit you. Where are we going in Greenville? The mall? The park? The waterfront?”
“Lunch at the mall first,” Sal answered her.
“Then some shopping before we have some fun.” Manny injected finishing his brother’s sentence. “We know you have not had that much fun before us, so we are going to make sure you have fun today.”
The ride there seemed to go on forever to Emily, even though in reality it was only 20 minutes. She was both excited and anxious. The only other time she was at a mall was when she was dragged along with her mother to carry everything that she bought. The boys had told her that this time they would buy her whatever she wanted and they would be the ones carrying the items. She was never a concierge and should never have had to do those things and she would never be treated like that again.
Once they finally found a parking spot, Manny went and ordered the food while Emily and Sal found some seats. The lines were moving seemingly fast, so it wasn't much of an issue for Manny to wait. He knew Sal was gonna stay by Emily so he did not worry about being away too long.
After lunch was eaten, they flitted from store to store. They made sure to go in every one. In the shoe store, they bought her some knee-high black boots and they bought themselves some black ankle-high, cap-toe Oxford boots. They still had not told her they would be taking her to a club tonight. They wanted her to look ravishing so they continued on to the clothes store. They even got a worker to help pick out outfits.
They picked out dozens of outfits for Emily, yet each time she came out just a little more stunning. After the 20th outfit, Emily came out of the fitting room wearing a spaghetti strap mini black dress. Their mouths hung open and everyone in the store seemed to stop and stare. The dress hugged her curves and brought attention to areas they didn't think could look any better, yet somehow they did.
After another dozen outfits, Emily got tired of the one-woman fashion show she was participating in and told the boys to take their turns with outfits. She already thought they were gorgeous in regular clothes, but when Sal came out in some ripped jeans and a mesh shirt, it felt like her heart would beat out of her chest. Not a moment later, Manny came out wearing a black pair of skinny jeans that looked like they were painted on his skin, revealing every muscle and contour on his sculpted body. Even his shirt, which was only halfway buttoned, revealed his six-pack.
Emily could feel the heat in her cheeks and neck. At that moment, all she wanted to do was lick every part of both of those godlike bodies. But there was one part of those bodies that was downright sinful, and she wanted so much to be ravished by them. She would gladly go to hell and back, and back again just for the chance to.
