Mafia Toy (Closed to Ravenloft)

Asuka looked back over at Vince as he talked to the shop owner, she gave her a bright smile and waved at her when she looked at her. She turned back to the wonderful things that filled that store and she almost didn't hear the Pst that was directed at her. The voice sounded familiar to her now and she turned in the direction from where she heard it. She saw someone peeking out of the darkness of the broom closet and she moved over to the door.

A sudden pair of hands reached out for her and pulled her into the darkness closing the door behind her. Asuka went to scream out by and hand clasped over it before she could. Who ever it was was holding her against their chest because she could hear their heart beat and suddenly they switched on the light. She was face to face with Tony and she had no idea what to do.
 
"Hey babe, miss me?" Tony asked with a grin as he reached out to fondle his hand through her shiny hair. "Looks like you're making good with Vince out there. Hey, did you know that he's put a HIT out on me? Did you know that? I'm on the run cause the way I hear it, YOU told him you don't wanna work off my debt no more." Tony backed her against the wall, still holding his hand over her mouth. "Whatsa matter babe, don't you love me no more?" Tony asked. She could smell fear and sweat on him as he pressed against her in an intimate manner.
 
Asuka's eyes widened now as he reached out to run his hand through her hair and for some reason she felt ashamed for 'making nice' with Vince as he put it. She tried to move her hand up to pull his away from her mouth but he moved her against the wall of the closet and pressed his body against her own. She couldn't help but to get turned on, Tony was always good at that using sex to get her to do some of the things she did for him and she was about to give in until the memory of her reading his file popped into her head. Her eyes turned from shock to anger now, she pulled his hand off her mouth and pushed his body away from her own. "I wish i didn't still love you any more." she said now wanting to hurt him, she wanted to hurt him just as much as she was when she found out the truth. "No i don't want to work off you debt anymore...You lied to me Tony so many times and god only know how many times you have cheated on me with all those whores that the casinos." She picked up a broom now to put something between her and him.
 
"So, its like that huh? Vince tells you a pack of lies and you just... Believe him? You know me, babe, would I cheat on you with some cheap floosies? C'mon, look at me babe, you know I love you..." Tony trailed off as Asuka armed herself with an old broom. He stopped trying to appeal to her emotions then and started talking practical. "Look, if ya don't help me out, like you PROMISED, I'm as good as dead. Vince has his boys looking everywhere for me. I need ta leave town, probably the country... All I'm askin is that you distract Vince, so's I can get outta here, make a clean break, ya know? Then ya can do whatcha want, since our relationship don't mean nothin to ya, apparently." His voice took in a hint of bitterness at the end as he stepped back from Asuka, giving her some space.
 
"He didn't tell me anything...he had a file on every job you have ever done for him, how you owe even more then what i was working off for you and pictures of you with those Floosies..." She said as she moved the end of the broom against his chest so he couldn't get any closer to her. The look in his eyes changed into that of someone desperate, she didn't want Vince kill just out of her life so she didn't have to deal with him or any of his crap anymore. His last words were what set you off, "You have some nerve to try and make me feel bad that our relationship means nothing to me...it means nothing to you apparently because if it did you wouldn't of lied and cheated on me. I'll help you get out of here but after that i never want to see you again." She put the broom back down once more walking out of the closet with out a second look back at him.

She found Vince out talking to the shop owner still and she went up to him linking an arm with his. "I want to show you something." She pulled him along with her now to the easel she saw earlier which put their backs to Tony so when he slipped out of the closet Vince wouldn't see him.
 
Tony opened his mouth to say something in reply until Asuka poked him in the chest with the end of the broom she held, keeping him at arms length. He closed his mouth, giving her a hurt look until she walked out of the closet and away from him.

"Yeah? Alright... Excuse me a moment Deana. Vince said as he walked with Asuka. Tony peaked out of the closet and did a double take as he saw Vince himself was less than thirty feet away from him. He ducked down and hid behind a display rack as the door to the closet opened with a creak, drawing Vince's attention. Vince didn't see anything but the empty suply closet, so went back to looking at what Asuka had wanted to show him.

Tony slipped around the corner and started for the back door before rising from his crouch. Deana looked up then, noticing him and was about to greet him like he did every costomer when Tony panicked and bolted for the back door, catching a rack with his thigh, toppling it over as he fled through the back door. "Hey!" Deana cried out as the rack fell to the ground with a loud clatter, followed by the sound of several thousand loose buttons showering againt the hard wood floor.

Tony was already gone, out of sight through the back door as it slowly swung closed with the chime of a bell when Vincent told Asuka. "Stay here." And rushed to see what had just happened. He looked to Deana who only shook her head in shock, resting a hand on her chest. "What in the world could have gotten into that guy..." She said as she came around the counter to go and start cleaning up the mess he'd left behind.

Vincent wasn't a stupid man, he could put two and two together. He turned and gave Asuka a cool look, his eyes squinting suspiciously as he frowned. He didn't give her a chance to say anything before he slipped out the front of the store. Pulling out his cell phone, he called Mitch, telling him to come pick them up immediately, instructing him to have the boys scour the neighborhood for Tony after they'd left the area.

Vincent looked up at the overcast sky then, and thought about how nice the day with Asuka had been so far. It would be a shame if he let Tony ruin that now. He lowered his head and scuffed his shoe on the ground before letting out a heavy sigh and going back into the shop. He found Asuka helping Deana clean up the spilled buttons. "Here, let me help too." Vincent said as he joined the two of them.
 
Asuka swore under her breath now as she heard the clatter behind her and then the sound of thousands of buttons showering down on the wooden floor. She turned in time to see Tony run into the back room, she felt so guilty just then that she couldn't turn and look at Vince so she simply looked down at the floor. 'stay here' he told her as he rushed to see what had happened, he had done so much for and she had done something so stupid.

The looked he turned and give her was so cold, he squinted his eyes suspiciously and he frowned at her but didn't give her a chance to say anything as he slipped out the front door. She almost felt like crying just then, the day had started out so well and she hated that something like this had to ruin it. She moved besides Deana pick up the several buttons that littered the floor and the women looked up at her giving her a smile as she saw the tears in her eyes. She reached out taking her hand and squeezing it softly, she knew there was something wrong but not what and that did seem to matter because she wanted to comfort her anyways. Asuka smiled slowly and the two of them worked to pick up what was spilled.

Asuka didn't say a word as Vincent came back into the store and knelt down to help them. They cleaned up the mess quickly and Asuka went to walk around the store once more. The happiness that had once filled her was lost now, Tony had taken that from her and she felt so guilty for helping him get away. She felt like she betrayed Vincent on some level but she couldn't let him kill Tony, no one deserved to be killed for the mistakes they had made and she hopped she never had to see the man again.

She began to pick up a few things now, a drawing pad for him as well as art pencils so she could teach them the basics and few other things they would need. She stopped now as she passed by an old mirror, she reached out to run her fingers over the metal frame but it was her reflection that caught her. She looked just like when she first arrived in Vincent's home, tired, depressed and filled with sorrow. She hated seeing herself this way, it had felt so good to smile when she was around Vincent but just now she couldn't even force herself to smile.
 
"Sorry bout the mess Deana..." Vince said as it appeared they had cleaned it up. "Excuse me, I need to go see how Asuka's doing..." He added as he got up and followed after Asuka. He came up behind her, his breathing loud enough for her to hear. "Asuka?" He asked softly. "Are you okay? You seem down... Is there anything I can do?" He did not care to address his suspicion that she had been distracting him to let Tony slip out on him. He only wanted her to feel better.
 
Asuka sighed softly as he can up behind her and she could feel the breath on the back of her neck. She turned to look at him now, he could easily see tears in her eyes and she dropped everything she held in her hands to lay her head on his chest. "I'm sorry Vincent..." she said as she moved her hand up to his shirt and gripped it gently. "I hate him...but i still couldn't let you kill him..." she said now as the tears began to flow down her cheeks. "You've done so much for me and i feel like ive betrayed you..."
 
Vincent held Asuka while she cried, stroking her hair to sooth her. He whispered. "Shh... It's gonna be alright... I understand why you did it..." ~But I can't just let em go...~ He thought as he lifted her chin and placed a light kiss upon her forehead before smiling softly. He stepped back and caressed her cheek, wiping away one of her tears with his thumb as he glanced down, noticing the stuff she had dropped. He crouched down to pick them up, asking. "Are these the things we need? Is there anything else we need to buy?"

Mitch came in just then with a concerned look on his face. "Is everythin okay, Boss? I've got the boys on..." Vince held his hand up and Mitch immediately stopped talking. "Everything's fine Mitch. Do me a favor and wait outside, kay?" Mitch nodded, glancing over at Asuka before turning around and going out front to wait for them.

Deana had finished cleaning up and was comming back around to stand behind the counter, giving Asuka a look of motherly concern as she noticed her tear streaked face. She waited politely for them to come to the counter before she said anything though. "Is everything alright dear? You look a bit shaken up... It wasn't that man was it?" She asked as she reached a sympathetic hand out to her from across the counter. Vincent was silent as he rubbed a hand along Asuka's back to show her his support.
 
Asuka was surprised at how he was treating her just then, she expected him to be angry and hurt but he stood there comforting her telling her she understood. She looked up at him now as he lifted her chin to place a light kiss on her forehead and she blushed softly returning his smile. Her tears had stopped as he stepped back to caress her cheek and wipe away the tears that had ran down her cheeks. How he looked at her just then was so wonderful and she found herself lost in it until he crouched down to pick up what she had dropped. "Yes...that should be everything...if not i have some you can use but then not this fine of a quality." She had to cut corners with her art, she couldn't afford the good stuff so she had to buy the bargain bass stuff.

Asuka's eyes turned to the door as she the sound of the bell on the door ran telling the owner that someone had come in and she found Mitch standing there. She knew he was about to say something about Tony and she was relieve when Vince stopped him. It would be better if he just kept such things from her, she didn't want to know if Tony got away or not. She followed behind him as they walked up to the counter and there stood Deana stood with such a motherly concern on her face for her. She reached out a hand to her across the counter and Asuka gave her a smile. "I'm fine...its hard running into a ex." she said with a bit of an amused smile, she could feel Vincent's hand running along her back and she relaxed now knowing that he wasn't mad at her.
 
Deana nodded understandingly. "Oh, aint that the truth sweetie... Will this be all then?" She asked as Vince put the items Asuka had chosen on the counter for Deana to ring up. "Yeah, yeah, for now. Thanks." Vince said as he handed Deana his credit card. "Oh, and honey, I would be honored to display your work here, any time you want." Deana added with a large smile as she finished ringing up the items and swiped Vince's card before turning to bag it up for them.

Vince took his card back and gave Asuka another smile, asking her. "How about this weekend? My daughter will be up, I'm sure she'll be happy to help out, setting things up and what not." Vince took the bag Deana had finished packing and thanked her again, telling her he would call to make the arangments as soon as they had decided.

Vince left the store with Asuka, handing the bag to Mitch so he could store it in the trunk as he opened the side door to the limo for her, getting in after her. Mitch was driving them back home when Vincent got a call on his cell phone. He took it and frowned. "Are you sure?" He asked glancing over at Asuka appologetically for interupting the conversation they'd been having about her art. He hung up just as the pulled into his estate.

"Well, it looks like I've got some business to attend to... I'm sorry Asuka... Think you'll be alright by yourself for a couple hours here, or would you like Mitch to stay with ya?" He asked as they pulled up in front of the mansion's double doors. "The butler and other house servants will be round if you need anything... I'll only be gone a couple hours, tops, promise."
 
Asuka blushed deeply as Deana told her she could display her work here any time she wanted and she looked up at Vince now. Her eyes moved from he to Deana and then back again as they discussed when they would hold the show. She began to grow nervous as she watched her pack up their things and she stopped as she remembered Vince saying something about his daughter. She had to of known that a man of his age would have children and she wondered how old she was. What did it matter to her anyways Vince saw her only as a teacher right? She was confusing herself so she just pushed it into the back of her mind and gave Deana a bright smile waving as they left the store.

Her eyes moved to Mitch as he put the bag in the trunk, she slid into the limo now and waited for Vince to join her. She about to say something to him about the show but his phone rang before she could get anything out. Answering it she saw a frown along his lips and she wondered what was up. The limo pulled up in front of his estate, it seemed he had something to take care of and she was afraid of what it might be." She gave him a soft smile and she stepped out of the limo. "I'll be fine Vince, if you remember im use to being on my own. Ill find something to keep me busy." She moved closer to him now and moved up onto her toes to kiss him lightly on the cheek. She blushed a bit and stepped back from him as Mitch came around to hand her the bag.

"I'll see you then and maybe you can help me go through my work and pick a few things out for the show." she still wasn't comfortable with the idea but he really wasn't giving her a chance to say no so she was giving him what he wanted. She gave him a soft smile before she walked into the large house and climbed the stairs to find her room one more. She stripped off her clothing going through the closet to find her painting clothing which consisted of a torn up pair of paints stained with paint, a tight black tank top with paint as well and an apron.

She pulled out her paint supplies and set it up so what like Vince's. She placed a black canvas on the easel and began to mix the paint. An hour later she had paint smeared across her cheek, on each of her fingers that held the brush and a few along her arms. She was a painter that really got into her work and she was about half way done taking on the life of the cafe he had taken her this morning. Her style was realistic but she always seemed to put her own spin on it by putting such life into it instead of making it a technical painting.
 
After about twenty minutes of painting Asuka felt like she was being watched. She was startled when she looked up to find a woman with short black hair and a nice figure standing in the door way to her room, watching her paint. She was dressed in a tight black power suit.

"Pardon me, I didn't mean to startle you... Thats a very nice painting. Chez Ciel isn't it? I'd recognize it anywhere, my father absolutely loves that place. Its like his private retreat." The woman said in a confident, conversational tone as she stepped into Asuka's room, admiring the half finished painting.

Asuka felt a strange sensation come over her as she was painting, she felt like she was being watched and when she turned look at the door way she almost jumped out of her skin. She dropped her paint brush into her lap and picked up before she could get any more paint on her. Asuka looked over the women standing there, she was so fashionable and cheek which made her feel like a bum how she was dressed. She stood up slowly putting her palate down as well as her paint brush, "Its ok, i tend to zone out when i paint." She smiled softly now and crossed her arm over her chest.

"Thank you, It is. Vince took me there this morning and i had to get it down on a canvas..." She stopped now as she realized that her father loves that place and she had to look over her again. She looked to be her age, Vince had a daughter her age and it made her feel very uncomfortable because she must thing that she was here after his money or something. "You Vincent's daughter?" she said trying not to look surprised, "I'm....Asuka Lin. Its nice to meet you."
 
"Yes, yes I am... My name is Coraline Olivia Caldone. But you can call me Cora. I heard my father had a... Woman guest... But I hadn't expected her to be so pretty." Cora said, giving Asuka an almost predatory smile as she came forward, taking Asuka's free hand between her own. "And so young..." There was something peculiar in Cora's eyes, it was almost flirtatious.
 
"Cora, that's such a pretty name." She said with a smile and as she had said woman guest her face went blank. "Thank you...but im only here to teach Vincent how to paint. My situation is a but odd as to how i got here but im only a teacher." She said trying to reassure her and to let her know she wasn't trying to take her father from her. "Vincent said that you might want to help me? He isn't giving me much of a choice in the matter but he has set it up so my work will be on show for the public. Would you like to see the rest of it?" She asked trying to be as polite to her as possible, she held certain things of Vincent's but she guessed that she must look more like her mother.
 
"Yes, well, sometimes I think my father chose that name so that my initials would spell out a rather derisive form of the male unit... Because he wanted a son." Cora shrugged dismissively with a friendly smile as she let go of Asuka's hand.

"Right, only here to teach... My father... I'm sure thats all he intends for you." Cora was obviously not convinced. She sounded like she suspected her father more than Asuka of something untoward. "All those hours... Alone with you... 'Teaching' him... I'm sure he'll be the perfect gentleman." Cora added with a wink. "Well... I'm only going to be here a through the weekend... But yeah, sure, I'd love to see more.
 
Asuka gave her a look not realizing her full name had spell out such a thing until she had pointed it out and she smiled as she waved her to follow behind her. She tired not to pay any mind to what Cora had said, they would be alone for hours, she wanted Vince to act on how he felt for her but something told her that he wouldn't. He was afraid that maybe he would scare her off but he would have to do a lot to scare her away from him, "Umm...i'm not sure where they were put....oh wait there they are." She said with a bright smile and moved into the corner of her room. There were several rows of painting and there were about thirty of them. "I...really don't know if any of them are any good." She was being modest because they were just as good as any painting you would see in an art gallery but she preferred to pain what she saw now things she thought up in her mind.
 
"Hmm... Mmhmm... You have some talent... Asuka. Tell me, have you ever painted nudes?" Cora asked as she perused Asuka's works while fondling the rows of necklaces she wore about her neck. She began to roll a pearl one in particular between her fingers as she turned toward Asuka again. Before giving her a chance to answer Cora slid her hands down and began to unbutton her suit. "I would like you to paint me..."
 
Asuka smiled softly as she complimented her works but when she asked her if she had ever painted nudes she blushed a bit. She stood there watching Cora as she began to play with the rows of necklaces and before she could even answer she began to unbutton her suit. "Um...no i haven't...i can try my best..." She hadn't really painted a nude before but in art school she had to do a few drawings to study the shape of the human body. She moved over to her easel taking the panting she was working on off and replacing it was a fresh one. She began to mix a few colors to keep her mind off Cora as she too of her suit, "Um...the bed might be a nice place with you skin color and the color of the bedding."
 
Cora smiled knowingly as she nodded, following Asuka's direction to her bed. As she sauntered over to the bed, she slipped out of her shoes and drew her suit top off her shoulders, exposing them to Asuka's sight. She turned her head to peek back at her as she changed canvas's. "Are you sure you've never done this before? You seem quite comfortable." She asked as she let slipped the rest of the way out of her top, revealing that she was not wearing a bra.
 
When Asuka looked up from the canvas she blushed deeply and then looked down at her bare feet. "Aww...no i'm not just good at hiding my it i guess...i did a life drawing class in school but i haven't done anything like this since." She couldn't help but to look up at her again, she wore no bra and she admired how much more blessed she was then Asuka. Asuka was build smaller and because of that she had smaller breast as well them only being a b cup. She moved to her seat now continuing to mix up a few colors and waiting for Cora to remove the rest of her clothing.
 
"Aw... And you're blushing..." Cora teased as she slipped her thumbs between her skin and the fabric of her skirt, catching the band of her panties at the same time as she began working them down past the lush curves of her hips, revealing the neatly trimmed patch of dark curls that topped her pussy lips like a crown. "If this makes you... Uncomfortable..." Cora whispered as she let her skirt and panties fall around her ankles, drawing her hands together in front of the conjunction between her thighs. It was more of a seductive jesture than one of modesty, the way she was covering herself.

Cora stood there for a moment, unrolling her sheer pantihose down along her thighs as she shifted from one foot to the other, her hips swaying with the careful grace of a snake. She looked up at Asuka again after kicking the wadded up hose behind her with her toes. "Well now, madammoiselle artiste, won't you direct me, your subject to lay down, and pose for you?"
 
Asuka looked up at her once more as she noticed her blush that only seemed to grow deeper at her words and she couldn't help but to watch her as she continued to strip. 'Asuka what are you doing look away.' she said to herself but she couldn't, she was too mesmerized by her curves, at how sexy she looked standing there naked and she began to think of some rather strange things. She shook her head now trying to clear them away but she began to go hot at the sight of seeing the patch of dark curls on top of her pussy lips. She looked away now to pick up her easel and move it closer to the bed so she could get a better view.

The bed was covered with black silk bedding and it would look great in the painting against her tan skin. Asuka looked up in time to see her kick off her pantyhose, "Um...why don't you lay on your back legs bent off to one side apart a bit and your arms out a bit on either side." she didn't know what was wrong with her, seeing Cora like this was turning her on and that was rather strange for her.
