I'll Do Anything (The Challenge Night Series Book 1)

by K. L Mann

  “Um, I still haven’t gotten a drink since, like breakfast. I’m gonna get one now. You should put something on these.” I rub my thumb over a little cut and let go of his hands.

  I don’t move yet, being in his space is consuming me. I feel like I’m being pulled into him, like I couldn’t move if my life was hanging in the balance.

  The silence breaks.

  “Gio said you asked about me.”

  His face is so close to mine I can feel his words vibrate through me. I want to deny it, I want to shrug it off. But Lorenzo hates lies and he can detect them too easily.

  “I was worried about you.” I admit. I omit that I wasn’t sure whether him being okay was a good or a bad thing for me.

  Cold wet lips hit mine and my skin flames. A single arm wraps around my waist and pulls my body into him further. My lips meet his movements in return. I’m melting. A pathetic moan falls out of my throat and I want more. I wanted him to be okay, good or bad for him, I didn’t want him to go away yet.

  You’re dehydrated. My thoughts yell at me.

  I don’t listen. I wrap my hands around his muscular waste and squeeze lightly. His lips pull away from mine and I try to push mine back craving more.

  “Water is on the bottom shelf.” Lorenzo’s breath tastes like it’s still in my mouth.

  “Why did you stop?” I wish I could put the words back into my mouth.

  I sound ridiculous, I’m supposed to be mad at him. I’m not even supposed to like him.

  “I need to go take care of things.” Lorenzo brushes a piece of hair from my eyes. “Caterina will come and make dinner in an hour, after you eat, she’ll give you a tour.”

  Our bodies stop touching completely and he starts to leave me. I watch him move from me and my chest aches.

  “When will I see you again?”

  “Soon.”

  He doesn’t turn around; he leaves me in the kitchen with a spinning head.

  I take a deep breath and rummage through the fridge. I want juice or soda but I force myself to drink a whole bottle of water instead. I know if I don’t, I’ll get a headache soon.

  What am I supposed to do for an hour?

  I end up changing, again to pass the time. I put on a red lace bodysuit and a black pair of ripped skinny jeans. I feel more like myself than I have in days. This is how I would normally dress and the high waisted jeans feel perfect on my curves.

  The bodysuit is full-sleeved and has a V-neck that doesn’t overexpose me. I pair it with black chunky heels, a silver chain necklace with a simple diamond cross in the center, two silver tennis bracelets on my right wrist, some diamond hoops and I add a few decorative rings on some of my fingers. My engagement ring makes them look smaller than they are.

  I still have a half hour after playing around in my closet and I decide to play with my hair. I pull it all through a high-end flat iron by sections. I finish with five minutes to spare. I rack some anti-frizz serums through it with my fingers quickly. It feels so much longer when it’s straight, it’s practically touching my butt. I spray myself all over with vanilla body mist and rush out of my room at the last minute.

  Luca and Gio are with Caterina in the kitchen and it smells amazing. My heels give me away and everyone turns to look at me.

  “Signora Katherine, dinner is almost ready for you.” Caterina smiles at me before returning to stirring something on the stove.

  “Thank you.” I smile back.

  Gio and Luca are staring at me.

  “What?” I look behind me and then down at myself wondering if something is on my clothes or my face. “Do I look okay?” I ask, confused.

  “I’d like to continue breathing today so I’m going to not answer that.” Luca states.

  “I second that.” Gio nods and turns his attention away from me.

  I smile, understanding it’s complimentary. He starts pouring three glasses of wine, white wine.

  “Are you guys eating with me?”

  “We are.” Luca answers first.

  “Lorenzo won’t be though?” I can’t hide my disappointment.

  “No.” Gio answers.

  He hands me a full-pour of the wine and my mood lifts. I love wine far too much for it not to bring a smile to my face.

  “The dining room is ready, Gio can show it to you. I’ll help Caterina bring in the food.” Luca tells me.

  “This way.” Gio leads the path.

  It’s right down the hall from the kitchen, but a hall I’ve never been down. The hallways always make me gawk at their beauty when I pass through them. The craftsman details of gold and cream color in the moldings are effortlessly elegant.

  “Don’t you guys ever get lost here? I feel like a new room appears every day.” I joke as we enter the formal dining room.

  The table is similar to his parents but smaller and the wood is black. It’s set with only three place settings. The place settings are stark white against the black wood table top.

  I take the seat Gio points to.

  “No, I’ve lived here a long time now. I know it very well.” He sets his wine glass down and takes the seat next to me.

  The other place setting is parallel to mine.

  “Oh.” I take a large drink of my wine, it’s fantastic. A Pino, I think. “Do I bother you with all of my questions?”

  “No. But I can’t answer most of them.” Gio admits with a sigh.

  Only moments later, Luca carries in his plate and his glass of wine while Caterina carries in Gio and I’s plates.

  “Signore Vitale says this is your favorite.” Caterina tells me as she sets my plate carefully in front of me. Instantly, my mouth waters in excitement. “I have never made them before; I hope I did well.” She adds.

  “Oh my god.” I clap my hands together and jump a bit in my seat. “Caterina, thank you so much, I’m sure it’s delicious.”

  The most perfect looking double cheeseburger is plated in front of me. Cheese is spilling out of the bun and there is lettuce, pickles and four tomatoes on the side of it. There’s a pile of perfectly cooked fries and a small metal container of ketchup next to it. I could cry. It looked so good.

  Caterina leaves us to eat with a smile. I start decorating my burger with my toppings and the men are staring at me again.

  “Aren’t you excited?” I ask them, puzzled at why they haven’t touched their food yet.

  “We’ve never really had this.” Luca shrugs looking at it.

  I gasp, and cover my mouth far too dramatically. I can’t make my mouth form words.

  “We don’t really go to America for long stays and Italian burgers are nothing like this.” Gio adds context.

  “You have to try it, like right now.” I urge with confidence. “I like extra tomatoes on mine, but you can put whatever you want on it. Then cut in down the center and eat from one side.” I cut my dressed-up burger down the middle and hold one of the pieces together by pinching its side. I pull the exposed side to my mouth. “Like this.” I instruct taking the most unflattering bite into my mouth.

  A small bit of grease drips down the side of my mouth as I chew. I swallow and nearly moan in pleasure. It’s exactly like I wanted it to taste.

  They look at me like I have five heads.

  “Just do it!” I encourage and take another large bite.

  I watch them both add toppings slowly, glancing at each other with doubt on their faces. They each cut their burgers in half and slowly take a bite like I showed them. I’m almost finished with the first half of mine when they finally swallow.

  “And? What do you think?” I demand to know excitedly.

  Burgers are a delicacy to me. I will almost always pick a burger on any menu when I go out.

  “It’s… really good.” Gio admits and takes another bite.

  Luca’s face is much more telling, his eyes glisten.

  “Really good? It’s fantastic! Oh my god, this has to be like a billion calories!” Luca exclaims taking another large bite.

  I la
ugh and take a sip of wine.

  “I told you.”

  We all finish eating without any more conversations, the food is just too good. I actually finish my plate then whip down my hands on a cloth napkin before taking the last sip of my wine.

  “Do we have anything stronger than this?” I wonder out loud.

  “You want to get drunk?” Gio looks at me like that’s the most insane idea he’s ever heard.

  “Maybe a bit.” I admit. “I could get there off of the wine but it’ll take so much longer.” I roll my eyes playfully. “I wanna actually have fun for a minute.” I add.

  “Caterina can make you something if you want.” Luca sighs like he’s disappointed.

  I take that as permission and jump from my seat to find her. My stomach is so full it almost hurts, but I know it will calm soon enough. Caterina sees me first; she’s putting dishes into the dishwasher. She seems to be rushing to clean quickly.

  “Are you ready for your tour, Signora?”

  “Actually, I was hoping you could help me make a drink first?” I smile at her. “Oh! And the food was excellent, I felt right at home.” I almost forgot, I’m too focused on boozing it up.

  “Of course, Signore Vitale says you like strawberry daiquiris made with rum. Shall I make that for you?” She has a great memory; I would not do well at her job. Her pronunciation of daiquiri is choppy but I understand.

  “That’d be great!” My mouth waters.

  I don’t like that he seems to know every stupid detail about me, but I love that it’s benefiting me today.

  Ten minutes later there is a blender full of deliciousness that Caterina pours a portion of for me. I sip it eagerly. She puts a lid on the big blender and puts it in the fridge.

  “It’s so good!” I beam.

  “Very good.” Caterina smiles. “I will show you the rest of your new home now.”

  Caterina takes me from room to room to room. My feet start to hurt but I’m glad to finally know where most things are located. There’s a family style living room with a big TV I plan to revisit soon. The second floor has some guest bedrooms, a locked office, and a sauna I do not plan to use. I hate feeling claustrophobic in those things. My drink is gone as our tour concludes back in the kitchen.

  “Is there anything else you need Katherine?” I insisted she call me that at least three times before she agreed.

  “No, I’m all set thank you. Are you leaving?”

  “Yes. I will be back tomorrow morning. I will leave your drink for you in the fridge. I will take care of what’s left when I return.

  What’s left? I have to stop myself from giggling. Caterina wishes me a good night and says goodbye.

  Once I’m alone I pull out the blender of cocktail and the rum from the bottom counter. I watched her carefully while she worked so I could find it later. I pour another cup or two of rum into the container and find a spoon to stir it in. I’m about to pour another glass when I opt for a straw instead. I take a long pull of slushy cocktail into my mouth and rejoice. The extra rum makes it less delicious but the tingle feels perfect. I kick off my heels and leave them on the kitchen tiles. I start to skip down the hall to the room with the big TV.

  The room is massive and the coach is big enough to sleep on in any position. I set my blender of daiquiri down on a marble coffee table and start my search for a remote. I find it on the far side of the couch and flip the TV. I bring the remote with me, take a seat in the middle of the black leather couch and grab my pitcher of happy juice.

  There’s a Netflix app that I log into. I giggle to myself as I pick 365 DNI. The irony is not lost in me, but I loved the cringy film. I’m making dents into my drink as Massimo asks “are you lost baby gorl?”

  I cackle at the cringe I feel during movies like this. I love them so much but I’m like a giggling idiot whenever I watch them.

  The boat scene comes and my drink has officially disappeared. I set it down before leaning back to admire the sex unfolding on the screen. It’s so hot and it makes my body warm. I’m definitely tipsy right now. I turn the volume up, as I See Red pours through the speakers. I’m singing along at first but then I find myself dragging my hands down my stomach. I can’t stop myself from slipping my right hand under my pants. The scene is too erotic to resist, their bodies work together like they are ravenous for each other.

  My left hand teases a breast while my right hand starts to rub circles around my clit through my bodysuit’s fabric. The lace is rough as I force it against my skin. Small moans come out of my mouth and I start to rub myself faster. The music fades and the scene ends making me grumble.

  I still keep rubbing hoping to chase down an orgasm. More moans are escaping me but I can’t get myself close enough and I’m starting to get frustrated.

  “I’m back, are you–”

  Shit, fuck, shit.

  My brain can’t make my hand move out my pants fast enough. Lorenzo catches me in the act and I’m mortified. My head is a little dizzy but I’ve been drunker before.

  “Oh, um, hi.” I try to play cool.

  I turn down the volume quickly and look at the empty blender on the coffee table then back to him. Lorenzo folds his arms in front of him and looks at me with a tight jaw and narrow eyes.

  “Enjoying yourself Kate?”

  “Well, I was.” I mumble.

  I cover my mouth realizing I didn’t mumble quietly enough.

  Chapter 11: Lustful Thinking

  Lorenzo

  “Well, I was.” Katherine tries to murmur. She realizes how loud she spoke and covers her mouth.

  She was touching herself just now, her little hand couldn’t escape her pants fast enough. My cock is already swelling from seeing the panic in her eyes when I walked in.

  “What if Luca or Gio had found you just now?” I start walking toward her. “I’d have to nearly kill one of my best friends because of you.”

  “If Luca or Gio walked in, perhaps I wouldn’t have stopped.” Katherine smirks at me, trying not to giggle.

  The alcohol has made her bold, but she’s not slurring her words. I could tell that she drinks a lot but her tolerance shouldn’t be this high.

  “Is that so?” I push her to see if she backs down. She’s always so compliant, I wonder if the alcohol lets her fiery side slip through.

  “Maybe I would pretend not to see them, hoping they’d watch me. I’d put on a show, moan a little too loudly, arch my back and pull out my tits. Maybe they’d get so hard watching me, I’d let them fuck out their desires with me.” Katherine’s fingers dance above her chest as she watches me.

  My suspicions are confirmed.

  “And if I called them in here to help me fuck my fiancé… you’d beg us all to make you come, wouldn’t you?” I challenge.

  I’m watching her closely. Her face doesn’t revert to her timid nervous expression.

  “In. A. Heartbeat.” She whispers.

  “Luca, Gio!” I call out and her eyes widen in fear. “Katherine has something she needs to ask you both!” She stands up and looks at me frantically, shaking her head.

  It’s too late to take back her challenge.

  “What’s up?” Luca enters the room first and Gio follows behind him.

  Gio doesn’t speak, but they both come to one side of me. A lethal lineup.

  “Go on Love, ask them.” The panic on her face is making my cock press against my pants tightly.

  “Umm” Katherine runs her hands through her hair and looks at the three of us lined up shoulder to shoulder. She can’t find the words.

  I’ll do it for her.

  “See, Katie here was feeling pretty confident and insisted that she could take all of us.” I explain to Luca and Gio. “Apparently, a little drinking lets the docile one speak her mind.”

  Gio and Luca know exactly what I mean when I speak. We know each other, and they know my plan.

  “I don’t know, boss. She looks a little nervous to me.” Luca muses, he is catching on.

  �
��I don’t think she has a clue what she’s gotten herself into. A pretty little thing like her, doesn’t take men like us...” Gio grins his darkest smile.

  “I can handle it.” Katherine fakes confidence.

  “You hear that?” I raised my eyebrows at Luca and Gio. “She can handle us.” My lips curl into a grin.

  “Big mistake.” Luca tisks.

  “Very big.” Gio agrees.

  Katherine stays put, her face a mixture of arousal and fear. Her nipples are poking at her lace tops fabric.

  “Kneel.” I point to the middle of the floor in front of me.

  Katherine hesitates.

  “Don’t make me say it again.” I warn.

  She listens this time and walks toward us quickly. She falls to her knees in front of me. I’m itching to get my hands on her, but I fight my sense of urgency.

  I’ve shared women with Luca and Gio before, a lot actually. But I don’t plan to share Katherine after tonight. She’s mine, they can’t have all of her like I can.

  “Good girl.” I back away and allow Gio and Luca to close in my space. I walk behind her and place a hand on her head, stroking it down her soft hair. “Take their cocks out, now.” I demand.

  Her hands move to Gio’s belt and then to Luca’s. She unzips their flies in unison and then each of their buttons. Her delicate little hands reach into each of their pants and pull out their dicks.

  “You only get this once. You better make it worth their time.” I warn.

  I sit down on the coffee table and watch. I flick off the TV.

  “Yes sir.” Katherine whispers, taking Gio into her mouth. She strokes Luca’s length with her left hand eagerly.

  “Fuck.” Gio grunts as Katherine picks up her pace and pushes him further inside her mouth. He grabs the back of her head by her hair, holding her in place. Little gags escape her and she comes up for air. She moves her right hand to stroke Gio and takes Luca into her mouth next. Every few strokes, she rotates, pleasing them both.

  “How’s her mouth feel? I haven’t even had time to try it yet.” I ask my friends.
