I move to stretch my arms, my eyes are still closed, but my back tenses as I hear a clicking sound against the headboard. My eyes abruptly open as I try to move my hands from above my head, but then I realize they are handcuffed together behind my head. Fuck. I know damn well, Verena has not handcuffed me to this bed.

I should have known her ass was up to something when after I fucked her twice while at Exotic Escapes, and we came back here to my condo that has downtown Alphacrest that I stay in from to time, if I do not want to make the drive out to the mansion, I will stay here. "Verena", my deep voice echoes off the wall as I try to pull the handcuffs from their place against the steel rails of the headboard, but it is not used.

That damn girl is something else. Just as I am about to call Verena's name out again, she hums while holding a tray of food, The sweet scent of freshly made french toast and maple syrup hits my nostrils as she stands at the edge of the with a smirk on her face as he looks down at me. "Oh, I see that you are awake".

She then takes a bite of a slice of bacon, and a slight smile covers her face. She is wearing my Black Versace robe. "Verena, sweetheart I thought we settled this last night". Verena shakes her head, "No, we didn't, we fucked. That's not settling anything. I don't take too kindly of you trying to take me for a fool".

She then walks over to the side of the bed before placing the food tray on the nightstand. "It's obvious you are hiding something from me". I was not going to admit that everything Verena was saying was right, but I refused to tell her such. "Cherie, you have it all wrong, I am not hiding anything from you".

Verena looks at me intently, before she straddles my body and leans down as her lips are pressed against my ear. "If I find out you are lying to me, I make sure you will regret it". I raise my eyebrows as I twist my lips up into a smirk. "Cherie, do not threaten me with a good time". Verena pats the side of my face before she kisses my lips, "I made some breakfast, she then places her hand inside the robe, dangling a small silver key in her hands.

"Oh look what I have here.", she began to unlock the handcuffs, but before she could remove the cuffs from her hand, I startled her, flipping her on her back as she tried to pry herself from my strong grasp, as I straddle pulling her legs over mine so she cannot escape. I then begin to tickle her as she tries to push my hands away from her and she begins laughing hysterically. "Eryx please, okay stop, I'll won't handcuff you anymore".

Her laughter fills the room as she moves her body from side to side trying to get away from my fingers as they tickle up the sides of her body. She turns her body to the side I immediately tense and frown when I take notice of the small tattooed initials, D.R. on the right side of her neck. "What is this", I ask taking a closer look to see if my eyes are not deceiving me. Verena places her hand over the tattoo, "Oh, this, I got this a long time ago, it means nothing". I did not like her answer, "What does it stand for Verena".

Verena looks at me her eyes shifting around the room. I place it below her jaw tilting so she can look at me.

"What does it mean", I repeat. "Dominican Republic". I scuff at her lie and then move myself off of the bed. "Eryx, it's just a tattoo". I then find myself placing my hands around Verena's shoulders.

"Cherie, I know you are lying to me, but if don't want to tell me anything about the tattoo. Don't. I will find out the truth on my own since you won't to be secretive. Verena places her hand against my chest.

"I think it's funny you are mad at me right now because I refuse to tell you about my tattoo, but you refused to share with me what was wrong with you last night. But if you must know D.R. stands for Dominic Rialto, he was my first love, he died tragically in a car accident months before we were supposed to attend Alphacrest University".

I stand at look at Verena in disbelief, I move to try to place my hands around her waist, but she moves back, putting distance between us. "I have nothing to hide from you Eryx. I care for you deeply, if you want to know something about me all you have to do is ask".

I then march over and lift Verena in my arms as she squeals before I place a kiss against her lips. "You belong to me now Verena. I am sorry about the loss of your first love, but I will not share you with anyone, not even a man who is no longer here". Verena has a sad look in her eyes. "I think I know that Eryx, what in the hell do you expect me to do". I place my hand against her chin as I give her a stern look, "Get that tattoo removed from your neck". Verena opens her mouth, but I place my finger against it. "I'll I need to hear you say yes".

I then pull the straps of her robe, parting it open, revealing her naked body. I push her legs over my shoulder as I begin gliding inside of her wet pussy. Verena grips my shoulders with her hands as her eyes fill with lust. "You are not playing fair", she bites the corner of her mouth as my strokes become rapid. "I will never play fair when it comes to you, get used to it".

"Tell me what I want to hear Cherie,", I place her against the wall, fucking her brains out as she screams, "Eryx, I need to cum", I brace my hands on each side of her head as my dick slams hard inside of her over and over again. "I need to hear it". Verena pulls the back of my head, pulling my head up to hers.

"Yes Zaddy, I'll do whatever you want". A twisted smirk covers my face as I watch Verena cum I all over my dick. "That's my good girl", I then place kisses all over her face, as she lays her head against my neck and settles into a deep sleep. Just as I place Verena in the bed, allowing her time to rest, I decide to take a shower. While the hot water slides down my body, I ponder over the last name, Rialto", something about that name sounds too oddly familiar. I was going to find out more about Dominic Rialto and see if I understood why his name sounded so familiar to me. After placing a towel around my waist and wiping the fog from the bathroom mirror, I send a text to Arsenio. "Find out who is Dominic Rialto". Arsenio sends back a quick response. "On it now". A few minutes later Arsenio sends back a full detailed report. "Dominic Rialto, son of professional MMA fighter, Dalton Rialto, passed away tragically at the age of 18, he was hit by an 18-wheeler, driver was drunk and was pronounced dead after the collision occurred". Dalton Rialto was supposed to be dead, he owed my father, $2 million after my father gave him a loan to open up his Italian restaurant, Rialto's. Rialto began a major hit in the city of Alphacrest, and Dalton was able to open up various locations after the restaurant's first year.

But Dalton abruptly decided to close his business, and he disappeared. My father, like any head of a mafia organization, would, do he send out his henchmen to find Dalton and kill him. It didn't take our henchmen long to find Dalton, he was a passenger in the car, with a teenage son, Dominic in the driver's seat.

One of our men ran an 18-wheeler into the truck, but instead of Dalton, being killed in the accident, Dominic did. After reading Arsenio's report I learned that Dalton was living in a town called Victory Grove.

"You thinking what I'm thinking", I text Arsenio back. "Finish him off", Arsenio replies seconds later.



Does the list of sworn enemies ever get shortened? No, if anything, the Valleas have a long list. Will Eryx be able to keep this secret from Verena? Only time will tell.
