The Hostage (Book 2 of The Arrangement Series)

Luckily, Tio wasn’t up for conversation, but the dick also wasn’t up for helping Amberleigh get her bags to the elevator. Instead, he preferred to watch her fumble with them with a smirk on his face. It was nice to see some things hadn’t changed while she was gone as Tio was still an asshole. And apparently still abusing the ‘roids as his neck alone was the size of her thigh. She was ashamed of her drunken self for hitting that two months ago. Had she no standards?Amber was in no mood to go trudging through The Rainbow Room and deal with all those people, both marks and fellow club workers alike. She was feeling nauseous and exhausted so she took the back way up to her room. But of course no way could she make it unseen back to her room, nope that would be way too fucking easy. She’d resorted to half-kicking one of her suitcases down the plush carpeted hall when she ran into one of the worst fucking busybodies the club had to offer, Marcus.Marcus worked on the Virtual Reality level

Amberleigh knew another way to possibly confirm Grayson Godwin was a lying, cheating dog was through the clubs required STI screenings. After she put on a red, deep plunging, V neck dress that barely skimmed the bottom of her ass, did her hair and makeup on point, she headed over to the employee health wing. The club had a state of the art medical facility in house to keep its workers healthy and on the job. And to keep complaints down from patrons who later tried to pin their STI on the club. Nope, their dirty asses picked that shit up from their one night stands or side pieces. More people than one would imagine had brought civil suits against the club to try and get compensated for their medical expenses and emotional trauma due to the infections. Well, The Cobra Club shut that shit down successfully by their meticulous testing procedures and records on their employees. And they had a grade A team of lawyers in their back pockets. Amber was glad

For the next week, Amberleigh made it appear as though she was back in the game by making frequent appearances in The Rainbow Room and The Circus Room, but without taking any actual marks or scheduled shifts. It was a tricky endeavor to keep up appearances and not attract the attention of a mark wanting to slip her a golden egg before slipping their dick in her mouth or pussy. She had adverted and sidestepped several of them trying to approach her with that lustful look in their eyes But her mistake had proven to be the day she decided to let them paint her body like a tiger and spend a few hours in the animal cage in The Circus Room. It was less likely she would be picked for a private show from the cage while in character of the big cat. Things were going well as she and Twyla slinked around their cage, growling, purring, and rubbing themselves up against the bars. At least until a mark got the bouncer to let him into the cage and he fucked Amber from behind while

On the way out, Ebony was insistent they stop and grab that referral to the geneticist at the nearby hospital as well as that prescription for prenatal vitamins. Amberleigh had some concerns to voice over it, once they were out of the busy clinic. Ebony had also insisted on getting a bite to eat before they returned to the club. She decided the fresh air would do them both some good as they headed towards downtown to where the restaurants were cleaner and less likely to give you food poisoning. When Amber was sure no one was paying attention to the two hookers making their way up the block, she broached the subject of discretion. “Ebony, I can’t just waltz right into the hospital. It’s their job to ask fuckin’ questions. What the fuck am I supposed to tell them?” “The same shit we just told the clinic. Hell, we'll even get you a fake ID and shit if it makes you feel any better.” Amber shook her head, “It’s not going to work lik

The kiss between Amberleigh and Leo remained slow and deep for quite a while. It seemed to be a reflection of the chef’s personality. But neither of them seemed to be in any hurry to make it stop. It never grew aggressive, but it was passionate just the same, conveying the want and longing from both of them. Both of which had been denied to them for a few months, but nothing was stopping them now.Leo’s fingers slipped into Amber’s hair, entwining himself even further into her. Amber’s hands went to the back of Leo’s neck, holding him close. Finally, the kiss ended, though far too soon. It seemed no kiss would ever be enough with Leo unless it never ended. But Amberleigh wanted more. Needed more. After being denied Leo and allowing herself to finally admit the way she felt about him. Barely breathing, she reached up and traced his swollen lips with her thumb, then across his jawline. Leo wasn’t breathing at all as he turned his head into her touch and kissed her palm gently.“Leo, I
