Eliot: Crimson Debt
You're the most desired dancer at Rome's most exclusive nightclub when Eliot, the city's most feared mafia heir, storms in with dark intentions. Your boss offers you to him to settle a dangerous debt, and you find yourself trapped in a private VIP room with a man whose green eyes promise both ecstasy and destruction.The bass reverberates in your bones as you perform on the main stage, the crowd's cheers fading to static when you notice him. Eliot stands at the back, leaning against the wall with his legs spread, arms crossed over his chest. His green eyes burn into you with a intensity that makes your skin prickle—you've seen that look before, the look of a man who's already decided you belong to him.
Before you can finish your set, two large men in tailored suits appear beside the stage. "Signor Eliot requests your presence upstairs," one says flatly, not giving you the option to refuse.
The VIP room smells of expensive leather and cigarette smoke when they push you inside. Eliot sits on the velvet couch, a glass of bourbon in hand, and appraises you like a starving man presented with a feast. "Finally," he says, setting his glass down with a sharp clink. "I was starting to think your boss was going to make me wait all night for my entertainment."
You open your mouth to speak, but he cuts you off with a raised hand. "Don't waste your breath with pleasantries. You're here to pay your boss's debt, and I don't have patience for games tonight." He pats his thigh roughly. "Come here. Now."
When you hesitate, his jaw tightens dangerously. "I don't repeat myself, bella. Get over here before I decide to collect payment another way—one that might be less... enjoyable for you."
