The drive away from the club was rather peaceful, despite leaving so many memories behind, there were thoughts left there that you certainly weren't desperate to bring along with you in your suitcase.

"So, I guess I could start by asking how all of this happened?" Tom said, changing his glance between the road out front and you. You were sat with your legs tightly pressed together, your hands fumbling in your lap.

"I'm sorry, what?" You asked, not catching his question. He sighed with a smile before repeating himself.

"Oh, uh, well I come from kind of a rough background so I needed the money. It wasn't out of choice but it was that or working as a janitor in a high school" you sighed, rubbing your teeth together. Tom nodded, enduring your question to your lips; "And yourself? You look quite successful"

Tom looked over at you, the look of 'yeah right' on his face, but you weren't wrong. "My parents both work in professions and I kind of tagged along in their footsteps. Everything I have is my own and when I moved out I decided I wanted to do everything myself" he explained. You nodded, listening to his story.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"If you've had a dream career, leading onto a successful life, what in god's name are you doing in a car with me?" you asked, clearly stating the situation. "You don't look like someone who buy's off a whore from a night club for his own pleasuring if i'm honest with you"

"Ok, well if we're playing the honest game, you don't look like a whore. You look like someone who's delicate and has a passion for herself and her future" Tom smiled, turning the radio down slightly. Oh, how wrong could he get? Your eyes shifted down to your lap. You'd never thought of yourself that way before. You took a deep breath, relaxing yourself.

"You ok?" Tom asked, turning to look at you fully as you came to a stop light. You nodded, but inside you were feeling unsure. If this man wanted you for what he had claimed, then that meant you would be spending more than one night with him. You'd never done that before. To say you had had sex countless times, you had no experience when it came to love. After setting off again, it wasn't long until you turned down a tight alley way which brought you out onto a large driveway, leading up to a rather large house. You'd go as far as to say mansion.

Your draw dropped at the sight. It looked like something you would see on tumblr, or one of those stupid games on Facebook that claimed it could predict your future. Tom smirked as he looked over at you, taking off your seat belt in order to lean forward. Tom parked the car, turned off the engine and got out, walking around to your side and opening the door for you. You took his hand as he offered it, and stepped onto the gravel that coated the driveway.

"I feel so under dressed, what are you royalty?" You asked with a smile, looking back at him, still shocked. He ignored your comment with a smirk, heading to the back of the car and pulling out your suitcase. Together, he lead you to the house and took a moment to unlock the rather large black wooden door. It was so tall and intimidating. As the door finally opened, Tom let you walk in first. The smell of fresh leather and mint swallowed you up, attacking your senses as goosebumps riddled down your spine.

Tom placed your suitcase next to the door, allowing you to slip off your shoes and took your jacket from your shoulders. He was being such a gentlemen and you didn't know how to act. You were used to it being right to the chase, ripping each others clothes off and things moving at a lighting pace, in, out, next. But, Tom was moving slow. Not teasingly slow. It was a nice slow.

"Can I get you something to drink before I show you around?" he asked, placing your coats on the wrack and walking forward to the kitchen counter.

"Uh, just a water please" you smiled, pulling your hands together. As Tom opened the fridge door, a small blue roan staffy came bounding towards you. You crouched down immediately, petting the small dog and scratching their ears. "Awh, look it's a lil puppo!" you cooed over the dog, it slowly dropping onto it's back for a belly rub. Tom came back to the living room with a smile, handing you a bottle of water.

"Yeah, this is Tessa, or I just call her Tess" he bent down, scratching her gently as she got back onto her feet, jumping around frantically. "This is Y/N, Tess. She's gonna be your new Mummy" he said in a babyish voice, making you look over at Tom, admiring him. Despite the intimidating demeanour, he was just another heart felt man underneath, who cared a lot about the people around him.

"Your a Gemini aren't you?" you smirked, Tom looking up at you slightly confused. "How'd you know?"

"I studied Star Signs on my break's at college, Gemini's are known for their changes in behaviour but show more of each side. Like, they can be more loving and affectionate towards people, but are more prone to changing their attitude" you smiled. Tom looked at you, quite impressed. "Also i'm guessing your birthday is somewhere between May and June?" Tom nodded with confirmation. He enjoyed seeing this side of you, understanding that he mistook you for not being so intelligent.

"What's your Star Sign?" he asked.

"[Enter Your Star Sign]" you smiled, shoving your hands into your pockets "They're known for their fiery, independent and strong behaviour and well being, so I think I fit the picture" you winked, taking a sip from your water bottle. Tom nodded, before gesturing you to walk beside him.

"We'll see about that fiery behaviour" he smirked, giving you a playful smack on the ass, nothing you weren't used to. But this one felt different. More sensual. You rolled your eyes, focusing on what was in front of you. Tom lead you around the bottom floor, showing you Tessa's play room, a spare TV room where all the 'old stuff' was kept in some boxes, the stairs that lead to the basement, the downstairs toilet, the kitchen, the living room and the dining area.

"I see your quite the fan of Spider - Man" you smiled, picking up one of the many figurines from the shelf in the living room. He smiled with a nod "I actually met Tobey and Andrew not too long ago"

"Shut up before I fangirl" you smiled, placing the 'toy' down and walking back over to him, Tessa walking beside you. "She's already taking to you" Tom smiled, gesturing towards Tessa. You smiled, looking down at her "it's like she knows we're gonna be besties" you teased, patting her gently on the head, making her wag her tail playfully.

Next was upstairs to the bedrooms. Firstly, Tom showed you an option of rooms, which consisted of two on suits and a single room. He had asked if you wanted your own room and you said you were still deciding. You then proceeded onto the bathrooms, upstairs kitchen and the master bedroom. Tom's room was huge, and smelt like the typical boy aftershave which had your stomach burning. The bed was queen sized, obviously, and you couldn't find a single crinkle in the white sheet.

"Hey, uh, while we're here there is something that I wanna show you" Tom said, opening his drawer and pulling out a sheet of paper. You sat down on the bed, Tessa joining you and lying on your lap, her warm chin soaking into your thin leggings.

"This is gonna sound weird, but just read it" he said, sitting beside you and passing you the sheet of paper. You looked at him suspiciously before turning your eyes towards the sheet. At the top of the paper, in bold and capital lettering, read 'RULES'

You eyed down the sheet closely, looking through the set of rules Tom had placed out for you.

1. You work for me and only me.

2. If someone is to confront you about your job, your working for me as an acquaintance at my personal job out of town.

3. If you are uncomfortable with anything whether it be sex related or not, you come and tell me immediately.

4. Your still a human being, your allowed relationships outside of the contract.

5. Always tell me where you're going before leaving the house.

6. No domination.

7. If you break the rules you will be punished.

8. Work pay will be at the end of each week.

9. When you begin your cycle, you can take a break.

10. Must be on the pill.

"Must be on the pill?" You asked, you knew what it was, you were just curious.

"I don't like the feeling of condoms" He replied. You shrugged, you wouldn't want something encasing you during sex if you were honest.

11. Do not bring boys home. (for sex)

12. Clothes do not have to be worn around the house.

13. I leave the house at 8, please at least be awake by 9 and let me know.

14. Keep your role and identity a secret.

15. Request's can always be taken.

16. No progression from the contract.

Once reading through each and every one, taking you longer than expected as you had a very creative mind, you handed the sheet back to Tom. He gave you a look of 'is that ok?'

"All fine, it's not like I don't have experience" you shrugged.

"Alright, any questions?" he asked. You thought about it, running your hand between Tessa's ears.

"Rule 16." you bit the inside of your lip. "What exactly does that mean"

"No strings attached"

"Got it" you smiled, nodding your head confidently.

"For the first couple of days, i'll go easy on you. I wont spring anything on you too quickly, just break you in a little" he got up from the bed, placing the sheet back on his desk.

"What, you think I can't take it?" you asked, following him over to the drawer, your confidence inevitably growing around him. He turned around to see you inches away from him, his eyes shading over to a darker brown.

"I didn't say that, kitten" he smirked, your new earned nickname breaking you down slowly. He brought his lips towards your neck, his hot breath fanning your skin. "So, about the bedrooms" he began, but you cut him off confidently.

"Depends whether you can keep your hands off me" you smirked, sliding your hand against his crotch teasingly. He let out a muffled chuckled, ticking the skin of your neck before he lifting his head back up.

"We'll see who's the one begging" he smirked, placing a chapped, quick kiss on your lips. It was your first kiss, well, not technically speaking. But it was like the kiss that sealed the deal. His lips didn't feel like the others, they felt soft and angelic, like they were pampering you instead of suffocating you. You felt praised.

"Do that again" you asked, looking up at Tom.

"What, love?"

"Kiss me" you whispered, looking him dead in the eye. He smiled, leaning in slowly and pressing his lips against yours. He didn't push you to move, he allowed you to take control. You wrapped your arms around his neck loosely before pulling away and resting your forehead against his.

"How was that?" he asked, just above a whisper. You nodded.

"I could get used to this"
