Chapter 2

The cubicle was the most famous strip club in San Francisco, there, rich personalities were always present and Beatrix was lucky enough to get in there as a stripper. She had been working as a stripper at The cubicle for three months and she loved the job because of her love for dancing. After her first month, she was made the most expensive stripper and was always given a spot to dance at the VIP room where billionaires came not only to feed their eyes but also their sexual desires. As she walked into the building following the entrance meant for workers,

"Heyyyy! where have you been?" Miss Lorelei who had been pacing around the hallway hurriedly walked up to her.

"I'm sorry miss Lorelei. I overslept" she apologized "it's fine, Laura is filling in for you but you've got to hurry up" she led her into her own personal room

"the make up artist will be here soon" she said as she impatiently picked up her phone to call the makeup artist. "miss Lorelei, calm down!" Beatrix chuckled, she wondered why miss Lorelei was so tensed! it wasn't like there was no one there to entertain the billionaires in the VIP room, Laura was as skilled as her, so she didn't see the need for her to be so worried. In no time but what seemed like forever to miss Lorelei, the makeup artist arrived and she began her work on my face, she was the very best in the club and we didn't have to worry about the outcome.

"I'll be back" miss Lorelei took her leave. "Should I modify your eyebrows?"

"no, it's perfect" she peered into the mirror to access the makeup and she held a satisfactory look afterwards "okay, I'm done then! I'll be going" she walked away. Beatrix knew she had to get ready to perform, so taking off her coat, she took her heels from her bag and put it on. She stood up to access her full body through the mirror and she smiled admiring her hourglass figure which was reflected in the mirror.

"you'll be going in soon" miss Lorelei entered

"okay, then I should wait backstage" she followed miss Lorelei out of the room. They both stood at the backstage of the VIP room waiting for Laura to be done. "I don't need to tell you what to do because I know you'd deliver" miss Lorelei smiled

"I always do! she's done" Beatrix stared at Laura as she walked towards them.

"where have you been Beatrix?" Laura frowned, obviously, she didn't plan to dance tonight but she had no choice as she was the only stripper fit to stand in Beatrix's place.

"And that was a wonderful performance by Laura" the announcer took the stage, applauses could be heard from all corners of the room.

"Let's welcome... someone we've all been waiting for" the announcer proceeded, he hadn't called her name yet but they already knew who it was and didn't wait for the announcer to finish up before clapping

"I'm guessing you all know who that is... let's welcome Beatrix" he immediately left the stage and the bright lights went off leaving the dim lights.

She walked slowly but elegantly to the pole taking bold steps and keeping her head high as she made her way round the pole, she looked so hot in her lingerie that no one would want to miss any of her moves. Leaning on the pole with her model like body, she wriggled her waist slowly to the rhythm of the music which was playing, her waist movement left a sensual feeling for all who were present. She held a flirtatious facial expression which made her dance moves intense and grabbing the upper part of the pole, she lifted her body weight onto the pole moving her body around it slowly and sliding down effortlessly. The neon lights in the room didn't fail to highlight every detail of her assets. Holding onto the pole once more, she straightened her sexy legs as she let her body move freely around the pole, she then widened her legs and swung her head backwards, slowly but firmly making her long curly hair which she had tied to loosen up and fall on her shoulders, she danced gracefully on the pole not forgetting to keep a flirting eye contact with anyone in her direction. She got done from the pole and went on her knees wriggling her waist and moving her booty in an up and down motion as they all cheered her, she swung her head sideways in a dance position but her eyes met Paxton's, the richest billionaire in San Francisco. Paxton ran one of the best hotels in San Francisco and over the years, he has been on the number 1 spot in the list of the richest bachelors. Paxton had been watching her moves from the very beginning and it was obvious that he was interested in her, for over a month, he had been making advances toward her, he wanted her for himself but she didn't want that, she knew that if she became Paxton's girl, she would be the talk of the town and she didn't want that because she believed billionaires to be players and she didn't want any strings attached, hence, her declination. However, Paxton wasn't one to give up easily and he decided to push through with the belief that it won't be long before she finally succumb to him. She didn't mind the eye contact as she didn't lose her balance, she bit her lips seductively as she maintained eye contact with him. Who was this lady truly? this question went through Paxton's mind as he adjusted on the couch. He could feel a burning sensation go all round his body as he was aroused by her body movement, he longed to have her in bed, he couldn't wait any longer, so he went out in search of miss Lorelei.

Soon after, the music ended and Beatrix stopped dancing, she just stood there, breathing heavily as they clapped their hands in appreciation, all these while she had been dancing she didn't realize that she got alot of attention because she was buried in her dance steps. When the clapping reduced she bowed slightly and went off stage, into her own room.

"phew" she smiled in satisfaction as she took the bottle of water which was on her table and sank in the couch tiredly. Her door opened and Laura and miss Lorelei walked in

"what a wonderful performance you put out there" Laura smiled

"thanks alot Laura" she smiled genuinely but faintly "we really made a lot of money today" miss Lorelei chuckled as she sat opposite Beatrix and Beatrix knew she had something to say but didn't want to say it in Laura's presence. Laura noticing the tension "I need to make a quick call, I'll be back" she took her leave.

"so.... what do you have to say?" Beatrix went straight to the point

"huh? is it obvious?"

"very, so... cut to the chase"

"okay, I know you said I should never bring it up again but I have to" she looked at Beatrix

"is it about Paxton?"

"yeah, he said he really wants to make you his. I think you should give him a chance"

"same old story!" she scoffed changing into decent wears

"what about just spending one night with him?"

"and what does he have to offer?" she stared at miss Lorelei.

"He offered to change your life for good"

"and in what way?" she needed to be sure

"he'd pay you a huge amount of money and do whatever you want him to" she said

"and why would a billionaire spend all that for a mere stripper?" she squinted her confused eyes. She didn't understand how spending one night with him would make him do all that for her

"you want to know what I think?"

"what's that?" she listened with rapt attention

"I think Paxton is into you! he doesn't just want to have a night with you but wants to spend his life with you" miss Lorelei said

"hmm... that's really good but I'm not ready for any relationship especially not one that'll lead to marriage, I need to enjoy my freedom for a while" she smiled

"and what about having just one night with him? I'll let him know your decision"

Beatrix paused for a second to think about what Miss Lorelei had just said.

"The offer was tempting. Was Paxton really going to change her life if she agrees to spend a night with him?" She had to think this through.

"Well, permit me to think about it" she said after being silent for some minutes.

"Okay, but you know how these billionaires are! It's hard to come by this kind of opportunity"

"Yeah, I know" Beatrix nodded still thinking hard, she knew she needed to think fast before the opportunity slips away.
