" This is where you'll be staying." The girl Joseph had instructed to show me around the mansion told me. Mandy I think was her name. She was tall, 5'10" maybe. Super long legs, a thin face and sky high cheek bones. What made her stand out the most was her fire red hair. It was relatively short, it ended in layers just above her shoulders. Her blue eyes stood out against her pale skin too. She was beautiful. Like super model beautiful. Looking at her you couldn't help but feel insecure. If all the girls he had were this gorgeous I didn't even know what I was doing here.

I looked in the room. It wasn't as luxurious as you might think. Considering the fact that you I was standing in a multi million dollar house this room was very plain. The walls were a light beige. There was a small dresser to the side, a little desk with a mirror sitting on top to the right, and a small twin sized bed right in the middle of the room. There were two doors that were also on the right side of the room. One I assume was to a closet, and the other I suppose was to a bathroom.

" Thank you." I turned to the red headed beauty. " For showing me around. I'm sure your busy so thanks." She only shrugged in response and walked away down the hall.

I grabbed my bag and hauled it into the room and shut the door behind me. I slowly put my pants and shirts in the drawers. I crossed the moderately sized room and opened the doors. Behind the first door was a small closet with shelves at the top, bottom and rod going through the middle to hang clothing on.

Behind the second door was a bathroom. Perfectly white and shiny. Only big enough for a glass shower in the corner, a toilet next to it, and a sink by the door. Luckily enough it seemed I had the bathroom all to myself. There were no other doors to connect it to another room so I guessed that meant that it was mine exclusively.

I grabbed my bag from the bed and set all my makeup stuff on the counter tops and under the sink. I sighed and walked back into the main room.

As I sat on the bed I couldn't help but wish I had brought something with me to personalize the room. A picture, poster. Anything that could help me feel at home in a place where I was completely alone. Soon enough I was holding back tears again. How had my life become so twisted. One moment I was a normal high school girl and then the next a whore for a gang leader. A single tear trailed down my face and reached down coating my lips. I could taste the saltiness.

I sat there for ages, stomach growling and a pounding headache was forming at the base of my skull. I lay flat on the bed staring at the ceiling until someone came barging right through the door, without even a knock.

" You didn't show up for dinner." He slammed the door shut behind him. The walls vibrated.

I sat up quick and stared at him. "Umm. I was never invited to dinner." I almost stuttered under his intense gaze.

" You mean Mandy didn't tell you?" He asked. I nodded slowly. His jaw clenched and unclenched over and over again for quite some time before his eyes locked on my face again. " Well then go get something from the kitchen. Tell them I sent you they should find you something."

I nodded awkwardly. " Thanks." I slowly stood up and shuffled my feet around on the hard wood floor. I looked anywhere but him. My eyes avoided him like the plague.

He left after a few minutes of silence. I sighed in relief once he was gone and slowly made my way out of the bedroom. I tried my best to remember how to get to the kitchen,but in the dark everything looked so different. After wandering around the big house for awhile I got frustrated. This was ridiculous. I eventually I found 2 people down the hall. I let out a breath of relief and headed towards them. Only is wasn't just 2 people casually talking like I though they had been. It was 2 people fully engaged in a hot make out session. I stopped dead in my tracks and slowly backed up trying not me make any noise.

The girl turned her head toward me. I grimaced when I saw it was Mandy. She seemed nice and all, but not someone you would want to mess with. We locked gazes and she narrowed her eyes at me. I picked up my pace and was about to turn around so I could walk faster when the guy stopped leaving kisses down her neck, obviously noticing she was occupied with something else. Then I saw who it was. Mr. Copland slowly stepped back a little bit to look and he then turned his head to look in the direction she was looking. That direction just happened to be me. Just my luck.

He almost looked amused but I knew I must have been mistaken when he spoke with his usual hard cold tone. " what are you doing here?"

"I uhh. Well I was just a-a looking for the kitchen and well things look kinda different in the dark and I didn't know where I was so when I saw you guys down here I though I could ask you but then you were busy so I was going to just walk away but you saw me soooo... Yeah." I rambled on and on, and he almost looked like he was chuckling, but in the dark I couldn't be sure.

"I'll show you where it is." He stepped forward in front of a window. The moon lit up the side of his face. I couldn't help but swoon. He was gorgeous any woman could see that.

" you really don't have to." I rubbed the back of my neck. " I'm sure that I'll find it eventually. Plus I'm sure you wanted to uhh.. You know finish what you started." I ended awkwardly.

" yea baby, finish what you started." She seductively clung onto his arm. Running her manicured finger nails up and down his arm.

"No." He said firmly and pushed her off him none too gently. He walked forward and grabbed my forearm in his hand. I stumbled forward when he started walking.

" You can let go you know. I'm going to follow you wether your dragging me along or not. It's me that needs to get to the kitchen remember." He looked down at me and slowly relaxed his hand so I could take my arm back. " Thank you."

He nodded and walked ahead of me, glancing back every few minutes. Almost like he thought I would disappear. We strolled into the kitchen only to find it empty. None of the staff were still in the kitchen. He frowned. "Hmm. They must be in bed already. I'll have someone wake them up." He pulled out his phone and went to call someone.

"Wait." I couldn't let him wake up the workers. They work hard all day and deserve to be able to get a good nights sleep. No don't wake them up I can make something for myself." He raised an eyebrow, but ended the call.

" Can you." He said. Almost like me was mocking me. " I bet you couldn't cook as good as them."

" Is that a challenge Mr. Copland? Because I always win. You may not want to bet against me." I said with confidence. I cooked dinner for my family nearly every night, and took foods classes all through high school.

He smirked. " Alright if you win you get to pick what we have for breakfast tomorrow... If I win I get a kiss." I smirked right back at him.

"Your on."

30 mintues later I was done. The clock now read 10:17. Way to late to be eating a meal but what the heck. You only live once right. I set a plate of homemade oven burgers and and a side of black and brown beans down in front of him then sat down in front of my own plate. I waited for him to take a bite until I would start to eat mine. I watched his face as he swallowed. When he smiled slightly I smiled wide.

" I win!" I yelled and threw my hands up in the air. I kept smiling as I took a bite.

" I think it's good." Was all he said. But that slight smile was still dancing around his lips. I continued eating and thought about the best possible food one could have for breakfast. Bacon for sure but we couldn't only have bacon. Once I had finished I turned towards him. He was already done.

" ok so tomorrow I want to have bacon, eggs and crepes. There has to be powdered sugar, and chocolate there. And-"

" What makes you think you won?" He asked calmly.

I stared at him dumbstruck. " What do you mean." I looked at him with confused eyes. My eyebrows scrunched up along with my nose.

" It was good darling, but not as good as my cooks."

" wa-but. I. You. Yes it was." I said stubbornly. I crossed my arms over my chest and sat up straighter.

" you haven't ever eaten their food. How would you know?" He said and crossed his arms over his chest as well.

"Well I-"

" How about this." He cut me off. " You can still pick breakfast, and I get my kiss."

My eyes widened. I couldn't kiss him. No way he threatened to kill my family. I slowly slipped off the barstool I was sitting on and grabbed my plate and his. I walked to the sink and set the plates down in the sink. I turned the hot water on and started washing the pans I had used.

" Changing the subject isn't going to get you out of our deal you know." His hands came down on the counter next to my hips and he leaned up against me. I shivered as his breath fanned down my neck.

" I should have know you wouldn't have judged fair." I said shakily. Nervous heavy breaths came out. The only other time I had been intimate like this with someone was earlier today. That even hadn't been close to the shock waves going through my body now.

" you should've." He said then left wet kisses up my neck leading up to my ear. He gripped the lobe with his teeth and then started slowly sucking on it. The dishes were all clean now so I shut the water off. All that could he heard now was my heavy breath and low sucking noises.

He let go of my ear all the sudden and flipped me around and slammed me back against the counter. His lips landed on mine harshly. Not at all sweet to start out like Cameron's had been. No Joseph's lips moved harsh and demanding. I couldn't deny I liked it better like this than sweet and soft. I tangled one of my hands in his hair and gently fisted my hand. He groaned and pulled my body closer to his. He bit my bottom lip, I moaned. That was such a turn on. His tongue slipped in and explored every crack and crevice of my mouth. His hands roamed up and down my back pressing into my spine. One hand slipped down and squeezed my butt cheek hard. I gasped and let him lift my leg around his waist. He gripped my ass again and roughly kneaded the skin.

Meanwhile he pulled me closer. I opened my eyes wide when I felt it. He was most definitely hard. I let go of his hair and pushed in his chest. Trying to make a space in between us. When he was this close I couldn't think clearly. I pulled my leg back down and pushed harder on his chest. I did not want this especially not with him. He brought me here against my will. I need to remember that.

He finally stopped and let go of me when he realized I wasn't going to kiss back. " what?" He hissed. He looked sexy. His hair was messed up, his lips were puffy and pink, and his eyes were dark like coal.

" you said you wanted a kiss. You didn't say we were going to have sex on the kitchen counter." I looked down and rubbed my arms. " I'm gonna go back up to my room." I said uncomfortably.

He nodded and I left silently. I glanced behind me before I walked out the door. He was leaning on the counter taking deep breaths. Probably to calm himself. I almost felt bad. I wasn't willing to give that part of me away though. Nowadays my virginity was all I had and I would protect it like an army does its city.

I made my way back to my room. It took longer than it should have but like I said things look different in the dark.

I sat there lying in bed for hours. Thinking about how things had changed in one day. I had my first kiss, I was forcefully taken from my home, and then later the same day I made out with the same man that basically kidnapped me.

Great. Just great.
