Chapter 7_ The Night

DOMINICK

"Mr. Castillo, you're late" Mr. Warren's charismatic voice welcomed me as soon as I entered the gambling room. He was the first to notice my presence.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Warren. I had to settle an urgent issue" I explained to him.

He smiled brightly, tightening his fist on the card he held.

"Women problem?" He asked but I ignored.

"I thought as much. Women are obstinate and hard to handle. Unlike my pretty bunny here, she's just the best" He claimed, snaking his arms around her waist.

"Shall we begin the real game?" Mr. Grey asked and they all dropped their cards for a reshuffle. We all picked up cards from the table and we began to play the game.

I looked around— wondering where Leila was. Renee was standing a few meters away from the game table and then I gestured to him concerning the whereabouts of Leila. Mr. Warren might leave anytime soon.

"Mr. Castillo, you seem to be distracted. I hope that you're alright? You're already failing the game" He grinned.

"I'm fine. I'm not really in the mood today" I said and dropped a card. We were still playing when the lights suddenly turned in dim burundi , then bright and a spotlight appeared on the stage. I didn't expect that to happen but I didn't seize the opportunity to spike Mr. Warren's drink.

We continued the game but everyone became alert because of the suspicious movement. Just then, a woman appeared under the spotlights. A beautiful fair skinned, slender woman began to dance seductively in her red short dress. I realized that it was Leila. That wasn't our plan, she isn't supposed to dance publicly but to come to our table, seduce Mr. Warren and make him get attracted to her. Just like she did to me. Leila continued to dance and she stepped down from the stage. A slow but calm music played in the background, increasing the tension as Leila danced to it. I adjusted my thigh, I couldn't deny that the little performance from the cunning woman had effects on me. I was beginning to feel hot and I felt like taking her right there, in front of everyone. The thoughts of her being a virgin made me want her the most.

Leila approached our table, swaying her hips aside seductively. She sat on my thighs and whined my waist slowly on top of me.

I wanted to scold her for coming to me instead of Mr. Warren but I allowed her to do the thing she knows how to do best. Leila was indeed a very good dancer. She succeeded in arousing me.

She trailed her fingers all over my body as she continued to dance, I watched them men lust over her. I couldn't deny that I got jealous but I had to let her do her job now. I noticed Mr. Warren watched Leila dance as well. He was intrigued by her performance.

"Hunny, look here," the Petite woman on his arms said to him. Mr. Warren pushed her from his body quickly.

"You're so useless. Get out of here before I get you killed" he declared. The girl was frightened and scurried away quickly.

Leila then stood up from me and went to him, before she could touch him, Mr. Warren pulled her to himself and began to touch her body.

I clenched my fist in anger as I watched him do that to her. Leila didn't even stop him.

LEILA

I realized that Dominick was angry about the way Mr. Warren touched me. I also felt filthy from his endless trails and kisses on my body but I couldn't stop him. I had already signed up for this. Dominick promised that I wouldn't get laid by Mr. Warren and he only asked me to seduce him. He explained to me that he would spike his drink but the drink in front of him remained untouched. I carried it and offered it to him.

"Here, baby. Why don't you have some to calm your nerves" I said in a seductive tone.

"Hmmm.. Your voice is so beautiful. I can't wait to hear you scream all night" Mr. Warren said out in excitement as he pushed his finger into my dress and rubbed in-between my thighs slowly.

"Ahhhh" a moan escaped my lips as he did that. "You're in a hurry, baby" I mumbled.

"I sure am. I can't wait to have you beneath me. Let's get to business now, I will pay you a lot of money if you treat me well" he proposed.

"Oh really?" I asked, turning towards Dominick as he was still watching my performance. I noticed that he was uncomfortable but I didn't stop, I had to get Mr. Warren to drink his wine.

He kissed my neck and grabbed my arms right. He almost took me right there. I was beginning to hate myself for this. I wanted to give up and fight him. That would just ruin my hard work so far. I allowed him while I still tried to get him to drink his wine. He pushed the drink off my grip and the tumbler glass fell and broke on the floor, relieving its contents. Dominick was filled with rage as he saw it. I knew that I had to stop because I couldn't afford to take a conscious man to a room— tonight. He might do something to me. Mr. Warren came at me with his fingers and then I jerked up from his thighs.

"Where are you going, Cherie?" I questioned.

"I… nowhere, I'll just get prepared and come meet you in your room later, baby" I explained calmly.

"There'll be no need for that. We can just go there together. " He demanded.

"I insist, I must go and come to you later. I do not want to ruin your game"

"What game? It has already been interrupted," he said, pulling the sleeve of my gown down. He almost revealed my breasts. I suddenly felt something hard poke my legs; it was his erection. This man was hell-bent on laying me out tonight.

"Guard," he called.

"Take her to my room and provide her with all she needs. She will be staying with me tonight, "he declared. He finally allowed me to stand up while the men took me with them immediately. I turned to Dominick. I couldn't believe that he'd just allow them to take me away— knowing fully well what it meant. Mr. Warren was going to have me in his bed tonight.
