The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize by M C

Aurora POV

I was enveloped in sweet dreamless darkness, my mind blank as I was alde to finally find peace. I recognize small specks of buzzy light agalost my closed eyelids telling my body it is time to wake up.

The fist thing my consciousness recognized was the brew alle silence around up for the soft bum of a central air conditioner. It takes me a couple of minutes to slowly open my eyes. I beggingly new my body to my back to stretch only to be met with a burning pain on my ass and the rest of my muscles ache as if I just ran a maration

I slowly try to sit up and tight through the pain. I take a moment and realize I am lock in the room I first woke up in The curtains are open letting in a warm aftener sun i lok at the check on the wall and it is just after three in the alternoon. I see a glass of water and some white pills on a small tray and a folded white paper

I quickly take the pills and get out the water, quenching my dry as sandpaper throat. As I reach for the fedded paper, I see a nice large red ting around my waist and Images of what happened earlier flored my brain. The cuffs clearly ruled my skin a bit raw,

“HA!” I actually laughed aloud at this, I slowly got out of bed, noticing mery muscle was pulling like a fog of war with each other. I winced at the pain but slowly mudde it to the bathroom. I saw my reflection in the mirror: 1 looked like a freight train collision. My eyes were putty, I still had tear stains on my red cheeks, my hair was messy and matted. I was wearing a peach colored silk negliger that barely covered the top of my butt cheeks and I could see blue and purple marks on my skin behind me.

A wave of countless emotions and conflicting thoughts begin to flood my system all at once: These men are really scary, and they hurt me for trying to escape. They are clearly enormously powerful and obscenely wealthy. But for them being in the Mafia, they could have hurt me a lot worse! I actually expected to be chained to a bed or have them hovering over me when I woke up. How would I even be able to escape this place?

I see the clothes laid out on the counter stopping my inner monologue, and I internally thank the heavens for letting them be comfortable. I do quick work in the bathroom, doing my business and taking a quick shower.

I then put on the black lace bra and pantie set, the super soft black leggings and an oversized long sleeve blue shirt, and put it up in a bun. I found some socks and a pair of black puma shoes,
