"Distance between our bodies!"

Singing and dancing with the song blasting from the speakers.

I had woken up at around noon, jumping up and

down in excitement with no clue why. Getting out of bed, I had plugged my iPod into the speakers and went to take a long bubble bath with my new oils.

Now I was picking an outfit for the day. When was the last time I went for a swim? It seemed like years ago, so I put on my black bikini, wrapping a towel around my waist before taking my iPod and earphones. The house was quiet as always, maids doing their jobs quietly while the guards stood at their posts.

Boring!

I skipped to the kitchen with Omarion's song filling my ears. Getting there I was greeted by maids scrubbing the floor, dishes, and walls, so on.

"Hi guys," I said, taking out my earphones and opening the fridge to get an apple.

"Hello Miss, your food will be ready in five minutes." One of the women said, rushing to the pots on the stove.

"Okay, thank you. I'll be in the private indoor pool upstairs."

"Yes ma'am."

I took the elevator which dropped me on the fifth floor where I walked to the private pool where only Rafael swims. It was massive, I could make out an image of a rose on the floor of it. Seeing a pair of speakers, I plugged my iPod into them then ran and jumped into the humongous pool nearly moaning at how cool the water was, caressing my skin. I swam, doing some flips and other tricks.

The sun poured into the room from the glass doors which led to a huge balcony.

The doors opened with a maid carrying a tray of food.

I walked out of the pool, opening the glass doors then sat on the chairs outside as the food was placed on a table nearby.

It was juicy spicy ribs with broccoli and French fries.

I dug in and lay on the chairs for some hours as my skin took in as much natural tan as it could before going back to the pool. It was six thirty when I retired back to my room. A black box sat on the bed with a paper bag next to it. I ran, opening the box to find a peach dress with spaghetti strips, showing a little bit of my tummy. It had a slit which ended right at the top of my thigh. In another paper bag was a pair of black strip open toe heels.

Rushing to the bathroom I took a quick shower, after that, I sat in front of my dresser and did my make-up. Starting off with my black eyeliner before doing some Smoky eyes then applied some mascara. I applied some light foundation, I didn't really like it because I had smooth skin, even toned skin. Taking the Kylie lipstick, I applied it before moving to the underwear drawer in the closet and took out a black, lacy thong.

I rubbed some roll-on under my armpits before pulling the dress over my body. It fit me like a glove, squeezing my cup C boobs, showing some cleavage. I ran a hand over my silky long legs to make sure they were not dry.

Shit! I forget to apply some lotion all over my body. Quickly, I applied it on the exposed parts before wearing my shoes and sitting in front of the dresser to do my white hair.

I curled it again, then let it down; the big curls floating all around me. Satisfied, I sprayed some Chanel perfume then walked out of the room. My guards escorted me downstairs where Rafael stood in black skinny suit pants with a black shirt with three top buttons open, showing some skin.

My cheeks flushed as he stood like the devil in hell. His cologne filled the room almost driving me out of sanity. His hair was so dark and silky, just curled, showing his sexy dark face. It seemed time had stopped as I walked, swaying my body like a goddess as he took me in with his sinful eyes. The temperature seemed to rise and our eyes locked as if communicating on all the unholy thoughts we had for each other.

I stopped just in front of him as he grabbed me into his arms and kissed the holy shit out of me. When our lips parted, I couldn't breathe and just thanked God that Kylie's liquid lipstick was water proof and hard to remove.

"Here," He said holding out a long yet skinny jewellery box.

I opened it, gasping at the diamond choker necklace with matching nobs. Taking it out, I turned around as he locked the exquisite piece of jewellery around my neck then put the nobs in my ears. The earing were as heavy as fuck but I couldn't help but giggle after he took my arm into his and led the way to the garage.

We rode in the black limo as the guards took the two black Porsche cars. Inside I sat nestled into him with his hard, warm and strong arm around my waist. My heart was drumming and the silence in the car drove me crazy. We drove for two hours before the car came to a halt, my butt numb, and chest sore from all the beating of the heart.

"Don't embarrass me and stay by my side all the time." I nodded my head in understanding.

The door was opened at his side and he slipped as I followed suit. I took his hand as he helped me out with the cameras flickering hungrily. We stood just by the car as all the reporters took the scene greedily. Some people were shouting and screaming, begging for a chance to touch one of the richest man in all of Russia.

Slowly we graciously walked on the red carpet, heading to the massive doors.

"Mr Rafael Vintangé with Miss Harley Rosello!" A man in a black suit with white gloves announced us as we entered into the large ball room.

Every head turned, silence filled the crowd as we walked further into the room. I was so nervous, I had attended these balls from time to time with my dad when my mom was busy adding silicon in her boobs, ass and thighs but it was different then, my father hadn't been the richest man around, yes he had been rich with a certain amount of power but so do all these people.

Rafael was one of the richest and powerful, sexy yet evil, running the underworld along with some amount of the country.

I had known him as my dad had talked about him from time to time but it hadn't clicked until he took me to that poker game that he was that Rafael. Honestly, it had scared me a little. He would do whatever he liked with me as people watched because he had so much influence.

My mom, the police wouldn't be able to help me out of this so I had to play nice.

"Rafael!" Elijah shouted as he made his way over to us with two girls wearing red identical dresses by his sides.

"Quite a show stopper you are, huh?" he continued patting Rafael's shoulder.

"My princess, you look ravishing as always" He couldn't stop talking.

Rafael walked past him.

The room was crowded with slow music playing on the background. It was painted white with a raised ceiling painted in gold as the long, large chandelier that hung from it.

There was a square dance floor where couples waltzed.

"Mr President." I heard Rafael say as my head snapped to the short man with grey hair, surrounded by large men with guns.

"Rafael!"

The guards let us pass into the circle they had formed around the president as the two man hugged.

"How have you been old friend? I haven't heard from you in months." The two men totally ignored me as they talked and talked about politics before the senator joined them.

I felt honoured to be around all these important people but I was also as bored as hell. The men couldn't stop talking, it's like they hadn't seen each other in years. I found myself rolling my eyes from time to time at all their talk which they were so deep in. A waitress passed, I grabbed a glass of champion and was about to drain it when Rafael snatched it and drained it himself.

Holding myself from gasping, I bit my lip. I was so thirsty and my feet were killing me from standing in one place. My arm began to shift uncontrollably in Rafael's. I couldn't help it, I was anxious from standing in the same position for so long.

"Gentleman!" I felt a rush of relief as I heard Klaus's voice.

They all greeted him back, sharing a few jokes about him. His eyes snapped to me as I almost fell from boredom and anxiety.

"Miss Rosello." he said taking my hand and kissing it.

The president and senator seemed to notice me then as they stared at me.

"What a beauty you have there Rafael," the president said as I was utterly shocked that they hadn't seen me in all the thirty minutes I stood by Rafael.

"Oohh yes she is, one of a kind." Klaus answered with his skinny, long hands still tightly wrapped around mine making me uncomfortably hot.

His eyes were dark and gorgeous just like him with his mysterious, sexy, hot and breath taking looks.

In his arm was a tall lady with brown silky, long, curled hair. She had a round face with a slender body.

She was pretty.

"Gentlemen, you know my sister Nicole right." Klaus said looking at the lady at his side now.

"Oohh yes, how can we forget such a lovely face." The senator said as he kissed Nicole's slim hand.

The music tuned in.

"Harley, do you mind dancing with me?" Klaus asked.

I looked at Rafael who looked straight at me.

"Sorry, but I am fine here. Maybe later." I declined politely.

I didn't want to start some trouble, Rafael had said not to leave his side even though I could use a stretch.

"The lady doesn't want you, Klaus." All the men laughed at the president's words.

"Come on Harley, don't let these men bore you with their politics," Klaus said.

I felt Rafael slip his arm off mine and nod his head.

"Okay." I said raising my shoulders.

Klaus took my hand, leaving his sister behind. I could dance, hell, I was the head cheerleader; ballet, contemporary, and hip hop-everything you could name it. Getting on the dance floor, we positioned ourselves as the music started again.

One hand was on his shoulder as another one was around his waist with both his at my waist. My legs were straddled over his bent knee as I moved my hips and waist from side to side over his knee. Our eyes were on each other and we started moving around still doing that style. He picked me up by my waist so that I stood straight when started I stretching slowly to the ground. Picking me up again, he threw me up as I span in the air and did a flip before he caught me, swinging me around him.

We then danced some salsa, a little bit of some sexy tango. When finally the music stopped, we were both out of breath and giggling at how good we were. I hadn't expected him to dance like that.

People can surprise you. We continued laughing as everyone clapped hands as we were the only ones left in the dance floor, all eyes on us. I bowed alongside Klaus still giggling. He hugged me then I turned as my eyes locked with grey ones.

Instantly, I froze.

"Harley, are you okay?" Klaus's voice echoed in my mind as the only word that registered was,

"Mom!"
