"You should get changed, Red. It's almost time for you to get on the stage." My boss whisper-yells in my ear. It is almost impossible to hear one's thoughts inside this club, with the music so loud and the entire building literally vibrating with excitement, sweaty bodies on the dance floor grinding and whining on each other and the stage? Well, my colleagues are on there, dancing and twirling around the poles in those ridiculously high heels and barely there lingerie. "Sure thing Mia," I say with a smile, leaving her to get ready. I work as a stripper and I absolutely love my job. Aside from the fact that it pays ridiculously well, I love the stares, the attention. I love seeing the desire in the eyes of men and sometimes women. I love watching them watch me. I love seeing how tense they get from wanting to touch me but being unable to. I especially love teasing them. I know how much they want me, if the way they stare at my body doesn't give them away then the little and sometimes not so little tent in their pants gives them away. Quickly, I move to the dressing room, changing into my uniform which consists of a red lingerie, the bra is completely see-through with little butterflies embroidered on it. You could see everything, my perky little boobies, the areola, and my nipples. Every single part of my body is literally on display. That's the best part of this job though. The way it makes me feel good about my body. The panties are just about the same, completely see-through and barely hanging on my waist, a little tug and they would snap. My favorite part of my uniform is the tiny butterfly that hangs on either side of my waist. I pull my wig on and this is just my own version of a mask. It gives me a sense of security and anonymity. I had already gotten my makeup done earlier as soon as I got to the club so I'm good to go on that end. I grab my red lipstick and add another generous coat of lipstick to my lips before applying my lip gloss to give it a glossy finish. I pull out my heels and put them on, It's always a struggle to get my footing for the first five seconds after putting on my heels. "I put this on four nights a week and I still stagger whenever I put it on," I mumble to myself. After dressing up and making sure that I looked presentable, I walked out of the dressing room to where I knew Mia was waiting for me. "You look good as usual, Red." She compliments me smiling from ear to ear. "Oh, I know boss," I answer with a smug smile. Mia is literally my best friend in the whole world. We have been together since forever, we did school together, she has seen me go through the worst things that happened to me and she still stuck around even when I was being a bitch about things. She shakes her head in amusement "Get this done and over with fast so you can go home and get enough rest. It's going to be your first day at your new workplace." I roll my eyes and groan "Please don't remind me. I hate first days." "You are going to be just fine..." she says while glancing at her wristwatch "Come on, it's time for you to get out there." I shoot her my stage smile. "Wish me luck" "You don't need it but break a leg," she says and takes a second to think about it "not literally though." "Thank you Mimi" I yell over my shoulder while heading for the stage. I could hear the DJ announcing my arrival but I tuned him out and put my focus on the music and the way my skin prickled and came alive under the stares. Without making eye contact with anyone, I grab the pole and start dancing to the music. Twisting, whining my waist, and teasing the crowd with my body. I could hear the cheers, I could see the money they were throwing out at me falling on the stage but I don't pay much attention to it and just let myself get carried away with the music. Until I feel it, someone is staring at me. Which makes little to no sense considering the fact that everyone is staring at me. This is different though, I could feel red-hot heat coursing through my skin, the hairs on the back of my neck prickled and stood at attention, literally. My face started burning flaming hot, hard to tell if I am blushing or it is just the heat in here. Or just the intensity of his gaze. I don’t have to search the crowd for long before I find him. He is standing by the bar, I can barely see him but I can feel his dark eyes on me. He didn't flinch or look away when I locked eyes with him and that makes me feel even hotter than before. He isn't smiling, his face impassive. It certainly didn't look like he was affected by my little show, or maybe that's what he wants me to think but I know better though, I can see it, even from this far. I can see how tense he is, his stance is relaxed and nonchalant but still wound tightly with want. All of a sudden, I want to know what breaking a man like that would look like, I want to tease him, torment him, and wind him up tightly until he snaps. I want his hands on me... To touch me in places I haven't been touched in years. Yep, I need to get laid. It's been so long and like Mia will say, I can literally see cobwebs growing in my vagina. I slowly release the pole and send him a slutty wink and my best smile as the music comes to an end, marking the end of my session for the night. I walk out of the stage, ignoring all the catcalls and the pieces of paper that probably have phone numbers written on them. "My God, Red, that was just... Perfect. I expected nothing less from you." Mia gushes as soon as I get to her side. "Thank you, babes." "You have a private dance request...." I groan "You know that I can't take it, Mia." "I know I know but I thought you might want to change your mind if you heard how much he is willing to pay." She says while biting her lips. Money, of course. I roll my eyes "How much?" I ask eagerly. Beggars are not choosers, I need every single penny I can get. "Fifty thousand..." She answers slowly dragging the words out. My eyes widen in disbelief "What?" "Fifty thousand... Each" "I'm sorry, what?" "You get fifty thousand dollars, Red, and the club gets fifty thousand dollars too." "A hundred thousand dollars on a dance?" I ask. I was yet to close my mouth. "I didn't even do anything special today, it was my usual dance." My mind started making all sorts of calculations, how much this bill could help me cover, and how much will go into paying my debts and my parents' debts and I also need to send some money to my brother who has been so quiet lately it was extremely suspicious. "I know right? He is a new member, he just signed up a month ago but this is his first time in the club." "Mia..." I start. "I checked, we did our usual checks. He is clean, the usual normal Playboy only this one has a mysterious air around him and he is...extremely wealthy." She says. "Of course he is, he is spending a hundred thousand dollars on a freaking dance around a pole," I reply. "Wait, he knows it's just dancing right? No funny business?" "I made that clear to him, he has gone through all the usual drills, Red, you have nothing to worry about." "Okay then." "So? Are you taking it?" She asked. Did she even have to ask? I am definitely taking it. "Hell yeah, I'm going to give the man the best dance ever. He won't be forgetting it anytime soon"Ronan’s POV Nothing is going to change our plans this time. This date is going to happen no matter what. I have it all planned out, perfectly planned out. Reina is currently staying with my parents. I had to haul her ass over there and she went screaming and shouting about wanting to stay with Aria but I wasn’t having it. I wanted my girl to myself. If Reina is home, her attention would be divided with Reina taking most of it. Yes, I’m jealous of my daughter. Very jealous. Much like Aria’s brother, Adrian, Aurora has been nowhere to be found for a while now. Since her plan went to shit, since I confronted her after she sent that letter to our resort, I made it clear to her that we were over, and she can get whatever fantasy she has out of her goddamn mind because it was not going to happen. We haven’t heard from her since then. Reina has been asking questions and I have been repeating the same goddamn answers to her every single time. “Mummy has work.” “Mummy is on an internati
Aria’s POV I’m nervous. Sweaty palms, accelerated heartbeat kind of nervous. I turn to face Mia. “I don’t think I can do this,” I announce. She laughs. “I’m glad you find this funny.” Because I don’t. “No, this is hilarious.” She says with a laugh. “Why are you so nervous? What is there to be nervous about?” She asks. Everything. What if he doesn’t show up? What if he does show up and is uninterested? What if I’m too late?What if he doesn’t love me anymore? What if he doesn’t want me anymore? Maybe he hates me already. Or…maybe he found someone else. “I can hear you thinking about complete nonsense all the way from here, Aria and I need you to snap out of it. You are being ridiculous.” Mia says. If you haven’t figured out what’s going on yet, I will spell it out to you. I’m here, standing in front of Club Luna, where it all started, where it all began, where my life took a turn for the better. Literally where my life changed forever. I’m standing here again, trying t
Aria’s POV “THE DISOWNED TRAFFORD PRINCE: DAMIEN TRAFFORD HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM ALL POSITIONS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE TRAFFORD COMPANIES.”The news headlines have been like this for the past three days. Everyone has been talking about why Damien was disowned. Thankfully, they never released the real reason behind the whole thing. Just something about serious ethical misconduct and his concealment of criminal actions. I don’t know what I would have done if the real reasons for his disowning were broadcast for the whole world to see. I won’t be able to handle the attention and I honestly don’t want it. Damien’s reputation has been ruined beyond repair, every rumor, every allegation, and accusation that the media has been circulating gets worse by the day and I have sat down here in this room watching every brand he worked with release public statements, renouncing him as their brand ambassador or face of the brand. Maybe it’s not the way I wished justice was served but I’m glad he is
Ronan’s POV Everyone is here. Everyone that matters is here. Every major board member, my mum, grandma, my dad, and the lawyers. We have been waiting for Damien to show up but as usual, he’s late. He doesn’t know what he will be walking into today. He doesn’t have any idea what the agenda of today’s meeting is but he did receive the text to show up to the board meeting since he is one of the major shareholders of the company. After waiting for about twenty minutes, Damien walks in, looking put together in his black tailored tuxedo. He cleans up nicely, enough that you can’t tell that he is responsible for the death of two people. “Sorry, I’m a little late.” He announces with a charming smile that previously, would have had the board eating right out of his hands. “I got stuck in traffic.”“Take your seat, Damien.” My father’s gruff voice fills the boardroom. Damien nods and silently takes his seat. I don’t miss the disappointed look my grandma sends his way. “Now that Damien is
Aria’s POV “Stop it,” I say, halfheartedly. He doesn’t stop. I giggle as Ronan continues blowing raspberries in my ears. It’s the weekend and we are spending the night together—just us. We had the best dinner ever. The chef Ronan hired is a god in the kitchen, he makes the best meal ever. Ronan
Aria’s POV Ronan was right. There is nothing small about this ‘small party’ that Sofia organized. There are people everywhere, people I have never met before. “There is definitely nothing small about this party,” I mumble to myself. Ronan shrugs with a laugh. “Told you.” My eyes bounce around
Ronan’s POV FEW HOURS BEFORE THE DANCE! “What did you find?” I ask Kade. “Nothing. There is literally nothing. Whoever he is striking this deal with is very thorough and very careful.” He replies. “They don’t meet physically and they don’t talk through the phone either.” “So how do they communi
Aria’s POV “Are you ready?” Layla asks. No, no, I am not ready. I am not ready at all. I feel like my legs are going to turn to water and my arms are not strong enough to hold me up and it also feels like I am going to throw up, so no, I am not ready. At all. I nod. “Yes, I am ready,” I respond
