"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"Aria’s POV My head hurts. Like hell. It feels like someone is beating drums on my head. Scratch that, it feels like there is an entire musical concert happening in my fucking skull. Why on earth did I drink so much? Why? Why? I slowly open my eyes and take in the room. Bad idea. A very very bad idea. “Oh fuck.” I groan, eyes squeezing shut and I quickly use a pillow to shield my face. Why did we think it was okay to make the room so white and so bright?I lay completely still for a while, giving the sharp headache a little time to pass. I recall what happened yesterday. I went from saying I was just going to have one glass to drinking almost half of the bottle. I have a feeling I would have been going on and on if Mia hadn’t stopped me. It did sound like a very good idea at the time. Not anymore though. Not now that it feels like my head is spinning on its own. “Ronan.” I moan, trying to reach for him beside me but the space beside me is empty and cold, signifying that he ha
Aria’s POV I stumble into the house, a little tipsy. Okay, maybe I am a little over-tipsy. I am not drunk though. I didn’t drink enough to get drunk. Just enough to be tipsy, and the earth is actually spinning in circles, and I have my bodyguard help me walk down the stairs and into my car because Mia is on bedrest. Thankfully, they didn’t say a word as they drove me home and now, I still think the earth is spinning as I stumble my way into the living room. The sound of the television fills the room and the familiar voice of Moana singing ‘How far I’ll go’ fills the room. I enter the living room and the sight I find makes me pause. The lights are off but the night light is on, the source of light in here is mostly from the television. Ronan is lying on the couch fast asleep with his daughter on his chest, her long black hair spread out over his chest and face while the rest falls down the couch. There is one empty plate and another unfinished plate of pasta on the floor beside the
Ronan’s POVMy house has never felt so…unfamiliar before. This is the same space I have been living in for months, the same furniture, the same decor that Aria and I spent hours selecting—she did most of the work, I just let her think we were doing it together. Speaking of Aria. I guess one of the reasons this house feels so unfamiliar now is the way things were this morning— aside from the fact that I have a little girl walking around the house and looking at every single thing in the house. Things were strained this morning. And I can’t even blame her for it. I didn’t get my usual good-morning hugs and kisses. She didn’t whine and laugh about how bitter her coffee is, even though we both know that thing couldn’t be any sweeter. Hell, she didn’t even take a single sip of coffee. And maybe I am to blame for that. I mean, I did spring Reina coming over on her. I should have confirmed if she was okay with it before replying to Aurora’s text but she was sleeping so peacefully and I
Aria’s POV “Aurora texted,” Ronan says after pushing my glass of coffee towards me. I pause, hesitate a little before wrapping my hands around the hot cup, allowing it to warm my hands and just…so I don’t start fidgeting. I look at him and blink. Twice. “Oh yeah?” I ask, unsure of what to say. Things have been a little strained between us since yesterday. I don’t have much memory of what happened after our little drama on the street. I remember him asking us to go back to the restaurant but I couldn’t bring myself to do that so I went home first, without saying goodbye to anyone, I know it was shitty but I am also sure they understood. “Yeah.” He answers simply, not providing any other details. I didn’t even know they exchanged details. I should have known they would though. They have a child together. Am I supposed to ask what the text says? Or am I supposed to wait for him to provide that information? Fuck, I don’t know. I don’t know anything at this point. I turn the cup
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
Adrian’s POV My phone beeps, signaling a new text, and I know there is only one person who will be texting me. I pick up my phone and let out a tortured groan as I read the text. BOSS: This is not what I am paying you to do. What the actual fuck? What the hell does this faceless monkey want from
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
