Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 37

LEIGH-ARI

The morning sun streaked across the room, it’s light harsh on my eyes. I gave out a big yawn and willed my heavy eyes to flutter open, but they seemed to have been shut closed. After rubbing them for a good minute, I pried them open to take in the most lavish bedroom I have ever seen in my life. The bed was humongous, the rich white velvet headboard cradling my back comfortably like a throne. The side table matched the headboard, with round lamps decorating them nicely.

From across the room was 118inch flat tv mounted to the wall, breathing loudly and heavily for everyone to see.

The lounge area sat proud and silent just a few feet from the bed. The door on the right folded open and in came Vernero fixing his suit coat. His eyes landed on me and his features softened, just a bit before he wore his usual scowl.

“You’re up.” Aha! So much like him. “Yeah. I had a good sleep.” I replied and he rewarded me with a simple nod.

“Get ready.” He announced and exited the room, right after he left, Raquel came in holding a huge tray with clothes packed on it and pieces of jewelry. I didn’t have to ask to know it was going to be a busy day.

“What’s the deal?”

“Good morning M’lady. We are going out for some fun while the bosses attend the meeting.” She announced carefully laying the luxurious garments on the dresser.

“What meeting?”

“That I am not sure of M’lady. You have to bathe.” She reminded me again, and I remembered that she was that kind that would haul me into the shower and start scrubbing me all by herself.

With that, I unglued myself from the bed and ran into the bathroom. The manly shampoo and shower gel greeted me as soon as I opened the door. Somehow the scent that was lingering in the air made me smile, because even if they were out of sight, they were just there, always there beside me to remind me that I was not alone.

The shower didn’t take a long time and soon, Raquel was helping me in a long, white jumpsuit and matching stiletto heels.

After that, she sat me down and did my hair really quickly. In a total of 40 minutes, I was bathed, dressed, and smelling so great I couldn’t believe myself. And when I stepped outside o f the bedroom into the dining room, Lorenzo jumped out of his seat and crushed me to his

chest, then devoured my lips even before I could utter a single thing.

“You look beautiful, Tesoro,” he complimented after pulling back, with a warm smile as he looked down at me.

“Thank you.”

“How do you feel?” at least he cared enough to ask, unlike someone I know.

“Rested. I am okay, thanks again.” He ushered me to the chair at the head of the table and sat me down, then took his place on my left while Verzi sat on my right. The silent authority passed to me made me dizzy and ready to fall on the yummy breakfast in front of me.

The dining table was humongous, and there were a total of 12 people who saw the exchange.

I sat down and Valerie got up to dish for me.

“Lady boss.” She whispered causing me to smile, I was always thankful that she was there, because heck, all the testosterone, I wasn’t going to handle it well.
