Chapter 5

Fabian was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel as he drove towards the address Markus had given him. He had debated whether to go or not, but the call of his body was too loud to ignore, and he hated himself more for being so weak.

He didn’t want to do this. His mind kept telling him it was the stupidest thing to do, but his groin rejoiced when he chose to ignore his mind and followed what his body craved. Idiot!

It was almost midnight and he was already lying in bed trying to sleep, but sleep was avoiding him. He had no choice but to get up and drink some alcohol to help him sleep, but it had no effect, so he decided to just go to the club.

He hated himself for being so weak when it came to the call of his body. No matter how hard he tried to avoid it, the woman wouldn’t leave his mind. Maybe if he got what he wanted from her, he could forget about her. He just needed to f*ck her, then be done with it. Yes, that’s what he’s going to do.

And here I thought you only f*ck women from the elite society?

His mind mocked him. He clenched his jaw because it was true. He chose his women carefully, he doesn’t f*ck strippers or hookers. What happened to that principle, idiot?

Fabian dismissed those thoughts.

Fabian pulled his car over outside the club. He eyed the 4-storey building, as he learned, this had an underground den where the show took place. The underground club was only available for members. Despite his reservations, he was forced to call his friend to get inside.

He fished out his phone from the pocket of his jeans and dialed Alfie’s number. He waited for a few rings before Alfie answered. The loud music was heard from the background, an indication that Alfie was already inside. Good.

“Hey, dude. Where are you? You’re missing the fun in here!” Alfie’s voice was loud and he clearly sounded drunk.

Fabian shook his head, he really didn’t like going to clubs like this. It's just not his thing. But for some unknown reason, he can’t seem to control himself. He was going crazy. That woman was nothing but trouble, the way she arched her brows at him, she’s confident that she can bend anything.

“I’m already outside,” he informed Alfie. He looked at the place, it’s really for the elite.

“I already told Vince, dude. He’ll let you in, just tell him you’re with me. Hurry up, bro, booties and tities are flying here, man!” Alfie laughed on the other end of the line.

Fabian shook his head at his friend’s words. Alfie would never change. He've known him since college and he’s one of those guys who preferred pussies over brains.

He got out of the car and headed towards the entrance of the club. From the outside, no one would think that this was a stripper’s club, it looked like an ordinary club. It just looked like a rented building. No one would suspect that there’s a dirty business going on inside the building.

He spotted the man named Vince outside the club, he guessed he’s a bouncer here. He was big and tall, even more muscular than Fabian. He wasn’t surprised when the man just bowed to him and opened the door for him as if he’s a regular.

Fabian just nodded at him before he entered the club. Maybe he knew him and Alfie had already told him.

Fabian was welcomed with the loud bang of music. The music was so loud that Fabian wanted to turn back. He would definitely curse himself later as to why he was in this place.

The smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol was in the air, along with the stale scent of sex. There were many people inside and the dance floor was packed. People were dancing wildly, grinding and swaying to the beat of the music. They didn’t care if their bodies were pressed against strangers as they danced.

He spotted different prominent personalities, from wealthy businessmen to famous actors and sons of politicians. Women were seated beside them with drinks in their hands. Some are even doing nasty things.

Fabian scoffed. So, this was where these filthy men spent their time. Wasting money on pussies that are not even worth it.

Hypocrite! Then why are you here looking forward to seeing that woman? Isn't she one of those leeches who’ll suck a man dry?

He wanted to punch himself for that realization.

Fabian felt like a fool for coming to a place like this. He really didn’t understand why so many people loved clubs like this. He had just entered and already wanted to go home. This wasn’t his place; he preferred a quiet and classy bar where he could relax after a hectic day.

Fabian was about to turn back when someone called him. He turned to see who it was and found Alfie coming towards him. There was a big smile plastered on his face, and for Fabian, it was like his friend was mocking him. He was grinning widely because he had finally convinced Fabian to come to this place.

“Fabian, my man! You’re finally here, man. Welcome to Hype! I can’t believe that you actually called me!” Alfie laughed. He was holding a bottle of beer, he looked flushed but not drunk.

Fabian just shook his head, laughing at his friend’s words.

“I told you, I want to spend my remaining days as a bachelor in a place like this,” he reasoned out. He doesn’t want to admit to his friend that he’s here because he wanted to see that woman.

“That’s right, man. You can’t just go marry without enjoying delicious pussies and booties, man! Come, the show’s about to start. I'm sure you’ll have the best night of your life tonight!”

Alfie led him behind the stairs that led to the second floor. There’s an elevator with two bouncers guarding the door. They got in. They were going to the underground strip club.

“Don’t worry about Vira, that woman always understands. You know her.” Alfie confidently said. Fabian knew that already. His soon-to-be wife was known to be very open-minded. She doesn’t mind him having sex with another woman, which he finds comfortable. It was actually one of the reasons why he agreed to marry her.

The elevator dinged and the door opened. Alfie patted Fabian on the shoulder.

Fabian scanned the whole area as he entered the underground club. It was spacious inside, as big as the first floor. There was a stage in the middle but the curtain was closed with a spotlight trained on the center, he guessed it’s not yet time for the show.

The sound of women laughing and men guffawing dominated the atmosphere. The same scene as on the first floor but this place was quieter.

“Lloyd and Dan are excited. Man, this is your first time coming to a club like this. Those guys wouldn’t believe me when I told them you were coming.”

“You know I’m too busy with business. I actually had doubts whether to come here or not.” Fabian spotted a veteran actor he knew. He just nodded at him and raised his glass of red liquid. Fabian nodded in response. He saw how those women dropped their jaws when they saw him, probably surprised to see him here.

“That’s bullshit, man! You’re missing all the fun in the world.”

When they reached the table where his friends were sitting, they started making a commotion.

“F*ck! You’re really here!” Dan shouted excitedly, standing up to greet him and staring as if he couldn’t believe it was really him. Fabian laughed at his friend’s childish act.

“Wow, I can’t believe my eyes. The mighty Fabian Romano is in the house, man!” Llyod stood and offered his fist for a bump.

“Fabby baby is finally a bachelor again!” Alfie shouted, and some of the clients turned their heads towards them. Some laughed at what his friend was saying.

Fabian shook his head at what his friends were saying.

“I tell you, man. I won’t let Fabian go home without getting a good pussy to f*ck! The ladies here are amazing, dude.” Dan was even proud to say that.

Fabian sat down next to Lloyd. He offered him a drink which he gladly took.

“You remember Sugar? The woman I brought to your engagement? She works here,” Fabian’s interest was piqued upon hearing her name. “And guess what? She’s dancing tonight. That’s why there are so many people every Friday. It’s Sugar’s night on Friday night. That woman is a legend here, I tell you, man. You'll get a massive hard-on just watching her dance.” Dan seemed very proud.

Fabian’s jaw clenched. He felt anger rising from his heart when he thought about how many men had been with that woman. What would he expect from a woman who earns pennies by dancing naked? He hated that fact that she did all of that just for a small amount of money, but he hated himself for caring about what her profession was.

As if on cue, the lights dimmed. The crowd of men cheered as the spotlight was focused on the stage, soft music began to play in the background.

From cheering, the crowd went a little wild as the stage curtain began to open. Fabian swallowed as the closed curtain slowly began to open. His breath hitched as he waited for the performer. Anticipation filled his entire system.

Fabian's heart began to beat erratically when he saw the slim figure on the center of the stage. After a week-long of agony, he finally was able to have a glance at the woman who’s wreaking havoc on his sanity.

The spotlight zeroed on her, making the crowd go wild as the sexy music got louder, and the woman on the stage began to sway her hips in a very slow yet alluring way. She was facing away from the audience and the only thing visible was her curvy back. From her small waist to her round hips. She wore nothing but a sexy lingerie that exposed her flawless behind. White and incredibly smooth, Fabian was sure of it.

Fabian swallowed. He had seen this scene in his dreams, he couldn’t believe that he’s here now watching her dance.

Sugar. That woman who he can’t seem to get out of his system.

He's definitely going to have her tonight.
