All Chapters of Club Red: Sin And Seduction : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

BellaMaybe it's selfish, but I don't remember ever feeling so alone.My best friend has left for her honeymoon, my other best friend is home visiting family, and I’d die before contacting my ex. James was a real piece of work, and he absolutely messed me up in the worst ways possible.I know that Thea was right when she said he was a narcissist, but I didn't realize how deep he had his claws in me until it was far too late. Maybe I was just desperate, just wanted someone to love me so much... and he made me feel loved. Well, sometimes. When it was good, it was good, but when it was bad, it was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life.He could somehow take me from feeling loved and on top of the world to feeling lower than dirt and absolutely miserable, crying in a puddle in the bottom of the shower. I swore to myself I'd never let that happen again, that I’d never let another man bring me down to his level, hurt me, destroy me, and spit me out like I meant nothing.I’m just

TroyThe second I open the door to Bella, I see her expression contort as a range of emotions flash across her features. There's anger, frustration, rage, confusion, upset, but she finally settles in on an amused annoyance that’s almost adorable.“Mr. Vin, I'm assuming?” She arches an eyebrow as she stares up the front of my building that’s both my office and my penthouse on the top floor.“Vin is my middle name.” I have found that - when I don't want someone to know who I am - using my middle name can often throw people off the scent. And I know for sure that she would not have come here if she knew that I was the man on the other end of the line calling her for her services.She nods her head. “Well, you tricked me Troy. Do you actually have work for me to do, or is this just a nifty way of trying to get under my skin?”“I don't want to get under your skin, little one.” At my words, she shivers and gives her head a quick shake, making her long brown ponytail shift back and forth. Th

TroyI nod my head, placing a hand on the small of her back to guide her through the room. “Correct. Nothing overtly sexual, obviously, and I’m not partial to red, but the lighting, the fixtures, the ambience.” It's hard to describe exactly what I'm looking for, and I can only hope she understands.She seems to understand as she points toward another door. “What is through there?”I find her curiosity refreshing and guide her toward the door. I already know what's on the other side, a private room that I have access to. I touch my card to the wall and the door unlocks. Pushing it open, I guide her inside.The second she realizes where she is, she turns to face me, her eyes wide and heated.I move close to her, grabbing her ponytail in one hand and pulling her body flush with mine as the force of my tug tilts her head back. Her breathing seems shallow, and her eyes are shining and bright, and I lower my lips to hers.Her lips are soft and her mouth parts willingly, allowing my tongue t

I've already made several substantial changes that I think he will absolutely love. I'm still considering how to change up the lighting and what kind of furniture to have in the space based on what he already has. He spends quite a bit of time working in there and perhaps some time entertaining clients as well.I'm not quite sure what his job actually is. I'm not about to pry because it doesn't matter. What matters is that I know how he utilizes the space and how to best cater to that utilization.I've already picked out the color palette and know what kind of changes I'm going to make as far as color, tone, and even most of the layout. I've already ordered several pieces of furniture and a big area rug that I think he’ll like. Given his penchant for white, bright light and airy, his job is a breeze because his taste matches mine.I've already tentatively picked out a very high-end lighting fixture that will be the centerpiece of the room. Now I'm just considering if I want to run LED

“Okay, great.” Even though her words are positive, her tone has a slightly negative note, and I wonder if she was hoping that I would order her around and push for us to meet sooner. One thing she needs to learn about me is that once a boundary is put in place, I'm not going to push it unless I know it's a lie. Her telling me she doesn't want me is not true. I'll push that boundary until I can prove it to her. But if she's not willing to meet until a certain time, date, or at a certain place, I'm not going to push that boundary.The fun part of a game of cat and mouse like this is being the cat, anticipating the next move, surprising the mouse, and pouncing when she knows it’s coming but is powerless to stop me - because she doesn't wish to stop me.“I will see you then. In the meantime, if something comes up, don't hesitate to text, call, or drop by.” Again, I reiterate that she is welcome to come here anytime because I want her to know that that door is truly open and that offer sta
