Shooting range
Dante
The road got a little long, since we were silent all the time since we got in the car. I didn’t know what to say to her, not after what had happened the night before between us. It was something I was really looking forward to, but now I feel like it’s different. It’s not like in the beginning, when I wanted to fuck her for a whole night, and after getting fed up with her, dump her like I did all the time with other women. However, it is different with her. Lillie is not the same as the others. I don’t know exactly what it is that I feel. For that reason, I know it’s not the same. I can’t wait to make her mine again. I realized that I was a virgin and that I was the first. I don’t know why he didn’t tell me. Maybe that would have helped me not to put so much pressure on her as I did on many occasions.
I had to find out the instant I made it mine and I checked it today when I woke up, when I saw the sheets a little stained with blood. Instead of having sex with her, I made love to her. I think that’s the way it is. I was never careful. I never took a woman gently and patiently. At first I wanted to do it that way, I don’t know why, but then I did it for her, because I realized that it was her first time. That night I stopped being the Devil to bring out a side that even I didn’t know existed in me.
“Where are we going?
His calm voice takes me out of my thoughts.
“You’ll find out soon enough.
He purses his lips.
I take a quick look at him while still driving.
The place where we are going is on the outskirts of the city, something very retired.
After he asked, it took us about fifteen minutes longer to reach our destination.
It was a country club. My father bought this place when I was just a child. I stopped frequenting it after my parents died. Edgardo takes care of him. It is open twenty-four hours a day and every day of the year. I was about to close it, but Edgardo avoided it when he showed me the management of the business. It has always made very good profits and the numbers are growing more and more. He advised me that it also served as camouflage for our dirty business, and he was right. This place, the hotel and the company have worked very well for me in this city.
After a long time, I return to one of the places where my father used to bring me to train and hang out with my mother and me. There are many memories here, some that make me proud and some that still hurt.
I never showed my pain, much less cried when I asked for them. I kept everything to myself. I didn’t want to show weakness, much less let my enemies know about my suffering.
I don’t know why I’m bringing her to this place. I’ve never done anything like that. In fact, I never went out with my powders. However, she did not mean that to me, she is much more. I want to keep her close to me, don’t let her go. I want to protect her all the time. I’m also looking forward to taking it hard against the wall of bathrooms, lockers or anywhere here.
To repeat last night over and over again as often as my body asks me to. Still, there would never be an end to it. I’ll never get tired of her, I know that because I’m dying to have her in my arms again while I kiss her passionately and fuck her hard.
“This is a…
“A club.” I interrupt her.
“I don’t understand, why did you bring me here?
“You’ll find out soon enough.” I turn my head to look at her, wink at her and smile at her.
She just rolls her eyes.
I’m done parking the car. On the way out, I give the valet parking guy the keys and circle the vehicle to help her get out.
She never waits for one to be restrained with her.
He’s almost down by the time I get to his side.
I take her by the hand and we walk together towards the large entrance doors. He doesn’t say anything, he just sees me with his eyes wide open.
We arrived at the reception, because I want you to let Albert, the manager, know that I am already here. In the morning I called to let you know that I was coming, so that the area I will occupy will be ready for me.
“Call Albert”. I order the receptionist.
She just sees me without understanding.
“Excuse me?
“I hate repeating things,” I mumble annoyed. Call Albert right now. “I whisper between my teeth.
“Yes, of course,” she replies while blinking several times, enraptured. Who’s looking for him?
I snort and run my hand over my face, frustrated.
I’m full of inept.
“Tell him your boss is looking for him. “I raise my voice.
She takes a leap, as does Lillie, who is still next to me.
I squeeze his hand tighter so he won’t let go of my grip. I’m not going to let her out of my sight.
“U-You’re the s-Mr. Mancini. “He opens his eyes and looks at me with terror.
“Just do your damn job. “I’m glaring at her.
She just nods quickly. She starts shaking when she picks up the phone to call Albert.
As soon as I can and have time, I will ask for a change of personnel.
The useless receptionist lets me know that Albert is in the field waiting for me and that what I ordered is ready.
I just turn around to get out of there and head to the meeting place with Albert. I pull a little Lillie, as she stayed by thanking the silly girl. We leave through some side doors that lead to a long path that leads to some tennis courts and other sports. We took a different course, since the place we are going to is not a court.
The club is very big, it has extensive facilities of sports courts of all kinds, gym, restaurant, spa, pools and my private place, where I used to spend time training. At the moment I will only take her to one part of that place.
Minutes later, we arrived at the field, which is somewhat removed from everything else. I visualize Albert.
“Is this where you wanted to bring me?” inquires after a long time.
He looks around the place with his eyes. His eyes sparkle when he sees some horses trotting in the field.
“It’s not exactly here.” I clarify.
I walk until I get to the manager.
I just hear her snort in dismay. Apparently, he was disappointed.
“Albert!” I mean in the form of a greeting.
He turns to us. I was distracted watching the horses.
“Dante!” say hello with a smile.
He comes up and greets me, energetically, with a hug and a pat on the back.
“How’s everything going?” I question him when we split up.
“As always, everything is fine. It’s good to see you again. “Albert is a man about Edgardo’s age. They are very friends”. And who is this beauty?” His gaze falls on Lillie.
She blushes.
Damn, she’s even beautiful like that.
“Lillie, this is Albert, an old friend.” I get a little attached to her. Albert, this is Lillie.
He stretches out his hand to take hers and places a soft kiss on her back.
He and Edgardo with their gentlemanly formalities.
“It’s a pleasure, miss.” He winks at her. “Sly old fox”. I didn’t know you had a girlfriend.
This guy really never shuts anything up, he always has to say what he thinks. Not that he denied it either. I know we’re nothing, but I don’t want to contradict that. Maybe she will see us at some point that we kissed, and she will be frowned upon. It’s not that I care what they say, I’ve never cared, but maybe she does care about her reputation, not like me, who doesn’t give a shit what they think about my life.
“Is the place ready?” I’m worried.
“Everything is already arranged as you had requested. Come on, let’s go. “He’s on his way to the place.
We followed him.
Lillie is still quiet.
I would like to know how much he thinks, but I dare not ask him. Maybe he’s sorry for what happened last night and for coming with me. Knowing how he is, maybe that’s why his silence.
We arrived at the facilities. It is a spacious room with several cabins. We usually train shooting here. It’s located behind the gym that I usually use to work out for fights. I asked Albert to have it exclusively for us. I usually share it with other members and close acquaintances who usually come to my club, but for today it is closed to the public to be alone with her.
“This is… “His eyes and mouth open in amazement.
“It’s a shooting range.” I finish saying.
The place is very well equipped. It has all the safety, bags and targets, the objects that a beginner needs to use. In my case, I just use the gun and start shooting, but for her it is necessary to use all the equipment.
“I’m not interested in seeing how you shoot those things” he points to the targets. I never thought that you would bring me to such a place, but anything can be expected from you.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
If I wanted him to talk before, now I don’t want him anymore. She was once again the same beast that wouldn’t shut up about anything. Although I like it that way, sometimes I prefer that he doesn’t say anything.
“It’s not me who’s going to shoot, but you. And they are called targets.
She turns her head quickly and sees me with terror. Then his gaze turns furious.
“Are you crazy or what?! Oh yeah, I forgot who I’m talking to! With the Devil himself!” He’s spinning in the same place.
“Hey!” I stand in front of her and take her arms to make her stop-Don’t worry, it’s not something out of this world. I just want to teach you how to use a gun.
“And what do I want to learn how to use that for?” hiss”. I’m not interested in it and I didn’t ask for it either, so you don’t have to decide for me.
I snort exasperated. This woman will end up with me.
“I know you didn’t ask me. I want you to at least learn how to pick up a gun and shoot. That might help you in the future.
“I don’t think so, so you won’t force me to take a gun. Those things are carried by the devil. “He’s looking at me. I curl my lips into a half smile. She squints her eyes”. Cocky.
“Just let me show you how to take it in your hands and let you know how to aim at the right place.
“What do you want me to learn for?” He crosses his arms. It’s not something I need. This is not my world. If I exposed myself that day, it was a mistake, one that won’t happen again.
I shake my head.
“Anyway, you’re already in. They won’t forget your face… “I take out the air. I didn’t want to tell her that. Now he will be more afraid”. Look, I promise to protect you and your family. I promise you that nothing bad will happen to them, but it is also necessary that you know how to use a weapon in case I don’t get to be and you have to protect yourself.
He doesn’t say anything else and just looks at me. She looks worried. I know what I told her put her like that. It was necessary for me to understand the reason why I do it. It’s not a nice thing that she knows how to use weapons and is into all this shit, but we have no other. He will have to learn for his protection and that of his loved ones.
