Mated (Mortal, Book Two)

Sweet Haven is a place not so many commoners could go. The clients here are required to join a membership that states their status in society. It is to protect both the clients as well as the establishment from any scandal or anything that would blemish their reputations. And also protecting the service girls from any form of abuse, since some clients tend to have fetishes. The cost is expensive but the service is to its fullest. As long as both parties are aware of their deal, the management will bind them in a contract and monitor the proceedings. They will be ready to assist any of the concerned parties who would appeal or complain about anything. Service girls are trained to serve their clients. From flirting, submission, and dominance, to whatever the client would require of her.

“I made my reservations, right?” The man asked, looking tired and needing booze. He is just in the right place to be, right now. It was his favorite spot to hang out when he is drowning in work-related stress and fatigue.

“Of course. We have kept the VIP room reserved for you, Mister Vero.” The lady receptionist answered with her sweet smile never fading as she guided him to his booth. “Please make yourself comfortable. I will send our new service girl to assist you very shortly.”

The man nodded as he sat on the fabric-covered couch.

Denny Vero is from a well-respected family in the country. His parents are from generations of medical practitioners and business people. His siblings are also with them. He even finished medicine to follow their family tradition, but his heart isn’t into it. He did well in his studies, and it was one of his goals to satisfy his parents with an impressive certificate. He was well-praised. Being the youngest, his parents were even more proud of him, to the extent of almost paving his way to the peak of his medical career.

But he didn’t want to. He is a man who loves sports. He is free-spirited by nature, but he wasn’t even able to spread his wings because his parents would always want him to do this and that. When he graduated from his studies, he decided to live independently and do whatever he wanted with his life. He went to different places he wanted to go and lived his life to the fullest as he wanted to. He ignored his parents and family’s calls for him to get back and join their family business until his eldest brother had a terrible accident.

His brother, Desmund Vero, lost consciousness, and now, he is still in a coma. Denny was left with no choice but to take his place temporarily. Desmund was one of the directors of their newly established medical facility, The City Medical Center. A position Denny is now asked to handle for the time being. A position he is very stressed to be in because he has his Travel and Tour business. Now he felt like he needed to have a clone of his own. Damn! If that were possible, he would be less stressed than he is feeling right now. The good thing is, he might forget all his tensions, even for only one night.

Denny stretched lightly on his seat. Actually, his body was still feeling things to be bearable, but his mental stress was killing him, so he went there to get a breather. Nothing good will come out of his bad mood at work. He remained in his position even though he heard the door open and shut. He could feel someone was watching him from a little distance. He waited for her to come closer, but she remained on her stand.

“Huh?” Denny frowned. Then he remembered what the receptionist said. She will send a new service girl. He understood why the service girl wasn’t as clingy and entertaining as the others would be in these scenarios. But he didn’t feel like he still had more energy to be mad, so he lazily raised his head to give her a look.

What he saw seemed to have woken him up! He sat with his back straight leaning on the backrest of the couch he was sitting on. His eyes could not move away from what they were staring into.

Denny was stricken by the beauty that welcomed his sight.

She was indeed new. He hadn’t seen her here or anywhere before.

She was tall and fleshy, not in a fat way. She was curvy and damn! They were in the right, no, no, they were in their perfect places.

“May...” The girl cleared her throat. It was obvious to the man to see that she was trying to keep her cool and appear confident. A fascinating sight; so enchanting to him.

“May I take your order, sir?” asked the young service girl.

She was actually startled at how the guest seated on the couch reacted when he sat straight to look at her. She wasn’t sure if it was a gaze of approval or disappointment.

All she could say was, it was intense. It was her first encounter with her own client. She prayed for a man easy to handle and serve. Now she wasn’t sure if her prayers were answered or not.

Denny Vero was even more fascinated to hear her sweet voice. It wasn’t shaking, although he could tell she was nervous like hell. He has been in this place for almost a year now. He had seen a lot of service girls. New and veterans. But this girl is way beyond their charm. He couldn't even answer her question right away. He was savoring the moment of seeing her for the very first time.

He comes to Sweet Haven to blow off steam once in a while, very seldom as he does not lack women to share a bed with. Fling or a one-night stand, some are booty calls and no string-attached arrangements, but lately, he cannot help coming around more often than he would usually do. He’d usually be here when someone invited him to celebrate something with women at their sides, serving them from drinks to whatever they would order. Even for extra service. It has turned out to be as frequent as every other week, then to weekly, and now he is here for the second time this week already.
