JANICE

Aiden Grant, for one thing, had the decency to look away after some time. He never used to care about me whenever I came to visit his daughter, Mila. The last time I saw him was that damned night three years ago, and honestly, he had become way hotter than the cameras captured.

As I continued to stare at them like some creep, I saw Calder lean in to whisper something in Aiden’s ear. Their eyes remained fixed on me. Lucian’s lips thin into a smirk as he speaks to Aiden, who was staring at me again. He narrowed his eyes on me, causing me to turn around instantly.

What were they doing here?The question echoed in my mind, but it didn’t matter.

I needed to leave.

Now.

I angled myself toward the back exit. I could slip out and no one would notice. It wouldn’t be hard, since the place was crowded and chaotic.

“Hey.”

Shit.

A hand tapped my shoulder lightly, causing me to turn, only to find a waitress standing there, with a blank expression on her face.

“They’re asking for you.”

My stomach twisted. “I—I think you’ve got the wrong person,” I said quickly.

The waitress didn’t even blink. “VIP table,” she said simply, tilting her head slightly. “Now.”

I could still leave this place, and go back to my sister. There would surely be another way. But what would Val say when she learned I left her gig before her time was up, after I barely made anything?

“Fine.”

I thanked the waitress and walked towards them. Theway their eyes wandered from my face to my chest to my waist and then to my thighs was enough to make me squirm.

What was going through their minds?

Aiden sat in the centre, like he naturally belonged there, like everything around him bent just slightly to accommodate his presence. There was simply nothing casual about the man.

“Well, hello there, darling,” Calder leaned back, one arm draped over the back of the seat. His eyes dropped to my exposed cleavage, and it remained there. He didn’t even have the decency to not shamelessly check me out, while I was standing right there.

“Never expected to see you in a place like this,” Aiden took a sip of his drink. “Doesn’t seem like your style. How long has it been again since I saw you last?”

“Three years,” I replied. “Give or take.”

“And you ended up in a strip club at the end of it.”

Before I could respond to that, Calder cleared his throat softly, causing Aiden to pause. It was almost like he had forgotten something.

“I’m pretty sure you know them,” He gestured lazily to the men sitting on either side of him. “But if you don’t, Calder Vaughn,” The one at the right. “And Lucian Graves.” Left. “She is Janice Cross.”

Calder leaned forward slightly, dragging his gaze over me again in a way that made my skin crawl. “Since we are acquainted,” he started, voice laced with something dangerously close to amusement, “let’s not waste time.”

“What?”His lips curved. “Your rate, darling.”

For some reason, the words didn’t register at first. It just floated between us, meaningless.

“My… what?”

Aiden exhaled softly, like he was mildly inconvenienced. “Your rate, Janice,” he repeated, slower this time.

The nerve of this assholes!!

Heat rushed up my face. “No. I’m not…” I swallowed. “I’m not a whore.”A flicker of something passed through Calder’s eyes. Interest? Amusement?

“Pity,” he said lightly. “You’ve got the figure for it. I would certainly give something just to have you bent over this table…”

“Find us,” Lucian’s baritone voice cut in, ending the rest of what Calder had to say. It was the first time he had spoken. “When you are.”

“When I’m what?” I snapped.

He shrugged. “Willing to offer a price.”

There was something about the way he said the words that made my stomach tighten a bit. It couldn’t be desire. Sure, the men radiated sexiness, and any woman in my position wouldn’t have hesitated to offer a price. I just… I just couldn’t do it.

I straightened my shoulders, and kept my head up. “You don’t have to worry about me. I won’t.”

Then I turned and walked away.

The music hit me again the second I stepped back onto the stage. It sounded louder for some reason, like it was mocking me. My movements were sharper this time, less hesitant.

If they were going to look… if everyone was going to look, then I had to give them something to see.

I moved my body with more force, eyes shut with just the music to guide me. I could do this. I would make the money I needed without violating my body even…

SMACK

“Agghh,” I yelped, freezing as the sensation of someone smacking my ass ran through my body. It burned. For a split second, something wild surged up my spine.

I wanted to turn, and lash out. To…

I couldn’t find it in me to carry out that plan, because at the end of the day, I needed the money, and I didn’t want to be the one to cause Val problems. What on earth was I going to tell her if they threw me out of the club because I decided to fight someone just because he smacked my ass?

Nothing.

By the end of the night, I felt hollow. Not tired, or even upset. Just… empty. I stood in the corner, counting.

Again.

And again.

And again.

It didn’t change.

“Just five hundred,” My vision blurred slightly as I stared at the cash. “This is the amount Val is expecting from me.”

It was barely enough to cover the expenses waiting for me. I could see Nancy’s face as she smiled at me, all groggy from sleep. She needed me to do whatever it takes to make sure she is alright again.

When I got back in the club, I headed straight to the VIP section, only to find it empty. This could not be happening.

No.

No, no, no…

I turned sharply, scanning the room. They were gone. Panic rose up my throat, threatening to strangle me. I moved quickly, pushing through people, and ignoring the looks they gave to me in return.

I needed to get out.

The cool night air hit my skin like a shock as I stepped outside into the parking lot, eyes darting around… and I saw them. They were walking towards a sleek back car.

“Wait!” I  hurried toward them.

They stopped and turned around slowly.

By the time I got to them, it took me a second to speak. I couldn’t think… couldn’t even breathe.

“You didn’t have to run, darling,” Calder grinned.

“Do you have your rate ready now?” Aiden asked, eyes twinkling a bit as he closed the distance between us. He was way taller than me. The tabloids said he was about six feet two inches, but I had a feeling that stat was not correct. “This better not be some ploy for something else, Janice.”

“Come on, darling. Don’t keep us waiting,” Calder came to the other side of me, his right hand circling my waist before resting right on top of my abdomen. 

Before I knew it, I was surrounded by all three of them.

They were sexy and powerful. Women would kill for a chance like this, and here it was, offered to me on a platter of gold. Would it really be so bad? 

“Five thousand,” I blurted out. “For just one night with one of you.”

Calder chuckled, his hand raising till they were dangerously close to my side boobs that peaked out of the top Val had given to me. 

“We don’t fuck individually, darling. So it is either all of us, or none.”

“What do you want, Janice?”

Nancy’s face came to me once again, all smiles and giggles as we walked into the pack. My throat tightened a bit. This wasn’t who I was. I didn’t know the person who spoke the next words.

“One night,” I started quietly, “With all three of you.”

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Last interview

    JANICEThe next two weeks passed faster than I expected.With no calls or messages or even surprise deliveries from certain people, I was able to focus only on Nancy and her recovery.Had I waited for their next move? Yeah.I mean, it seemed rather inevitable at that point, with all the harm they had done to me. I had expected something corny, but it never came.So I did next best thing.The building in front of me stood tall and imposing, made of glass and steel and money. This was the kind of place I would have walked past without even considering stepping inside two weeks ago.Now?It was my last shot at getting a decent job."I can do this," I squared my shoulders and stepped inside. "Nothing bad is going to happen.""Nothing bad is going to happen," I repeated it again as I approached the reception desk.The waiting area was full to the brim. There were well-dressed men and women sitting in neat rows, with expensive outfits."I had previous experience in executive scheduling..."

    JANICE"Let me take care of you, darling."The fact that Calder's hands were warm through the lace was the one detail my brain decided to fix on while the rest of me broke down.Lucian pressed another kiss on my thigh, causing me to tighten my grip on Calder's hair involuntarily. "Easy, easy. No need to pull my hair out before we've even started.""Sorry," I loosened my fingers.Calder rewarded me with a slow, open-mouthed kiss on the same spot."Fuck...""You're so tensed," Aiden's hands were still cupping my breast. He pressed his mouth to my nape. "Stop it.""I'm not tensed.""You are." He slid his hands to my waist. "Relax, Janice. Nothing bad is going to happen to you."I had no idea if I was supposed to find that comforting. Lucian hooked two fingers in the waistband of my panties and drew them down slowly. I couldn't help but gasp at the cool air that replaced them. He looked up at me once, before pressing his mouth to my core, and every thought I had left the building."Oh..

    JANICEAlright, the hospital was better than the last one.Way better.Nancy's room, for instance, had monitors all around, a way better chair... no, they had a whole extra bed for me, and the room overlooked a beautiful garden."Hey, Nan," I whispered. "Are you okay? Did you... like what happened? With the arrangement, I mean."Nancy’s eyes fluttered open, and a weak smile curved his lips. She gave my hand a faint squeeze in return. "I love it, Jan. It just feels right. For the first time, we have hope and I could finally be okay. No more dialysis, no more waiting lists. I'll finally have the opportunity to leave the hospital."My throat tightened.I searched Nancy’s face for any hint of doubt, any flicker of regret, but there was none. Nancy’s eyes shone with a fragile kind of job that I hadn't seen in months.There was no way I could take this from her."I'm glad," I managed, forcing a smile of my own. "You deserve this, Nancy. We'll get through it together."Nancy nodded, already

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   We'll see about it

    JANICE“What did you do?”The words came out of my throat sharply, edged with something that was dangerously close to panic.I was standing in front of him within seconds, jabbing my finger hard into his chest before I could stop myself. It was so solid that it felt like I just poked a wall instead of a man.A couple of nurses passed af that exact moment, their chatter dying down as their eyes flickered between us. I became suddenly aware of how loud my voice had been.Lucian must have thought I was just some pesky fly.He wrapped his hand around my wrist firmly. "Come," he said quietly.He didn't give me an opportunity to protest because he turned and started walking, dragging me along with him like this was the most natural thing in the world."Let go of me..." I hissed, trying to pull back, but his grip tightened just enough to make it pointless. He pushed open a door at the end of the hallway and pulled me inside.There was no one inside the office. CLICKLucian just locked the d

  • Just One Night to Own Me, Daddies   Hello, brat

    JANICE"What happened?"I sat across from the interviewer, my fingers loosely clasped in my lap. My posture was still straight, but it was no longer stiff."...and that's when I realized the system they were using was a completely outdated one," I laughed lightly. "I mean, I spent more time fixing the errors it caused than doing the actual job I was being paid for."Mr Coleman, my interviewer, chuckled. "You'd be surprised how many companies still run like that."Would I?"I don't think so," I replied, a small smile tugging at my lips. "I'm here to fix all those problems.""You really think you can do that?" Mr Coleman leaned back in his chair, studying me with clear interest. He had his pen wedged against his lips."Of course I can. I've done this job before."Mr Coleman nodded slowly. "I like that. I really do."Hope bloomed in my chest. I might actually get this job. We spoke for a few more minutes, the conversation flowing easily and naturally. By the time I stood to leave, my mou

    JANICEI stood in front of the cracked full-length mirror in the tiny bedroom I had shared with Nancy, before she became a permanent resident at the hospital, tugging at the hem of my only decent interview skirt.“When on earth did I become so tall? And so fat!!”The black skirt was two years old and a little tight across my hips now. Probably all the stress eating and sleepless nights. But it looked professional under the soft gray blouse, so it would have to do.I had left the hospital at six this morning, because I had to get ready for this interview for the position of an administrative assistant at a small logistics firm downtown.“You’ve got this, J,” I smoothed my hands down my thighs, willing that nervous flutter in my stomach to go away. “It’s not anything you haven’t done before…”KNOCKThe sound of someone jabbing their palm on my door jolted me out of my head.Was I expecting anything or anyone?No one ever came to this building unless it was the landlord chasing rent or s
