The Ladies Midnight Swimming Club Novels & Stories

Not a nickname or endearment ever came from my parents or my sisters. I tucked a strand of wet hair behind my ear, keeping my eyes fixed on the water. I spoke quietly to myself, hoping he wouldn’t hear as I repeated the words. “Little dove.” Another low chuckle came from him, and I wrapped my arms around myself as I lowered myself into the water again. The water reached my shoulders, giving me something to hide behind. I kept my eyes on the surface, watching the ripples spread around me. Cerus moved through the water. I could hear him approaching, each movement causing water to slosh and wave. He stopped, close enough that I could feel his heat, despite the warmth of the spring.

Intoxication of power and wealth, enough to drive a poverty-stricken man crazy. Lights are red, too. Switching from bright to dim to flickering. No one talked, cos it's the favorite time of the leader of the club. It's time for the dance of the Delilahs Of Valhalla—Girls who signed up for money in their early lives. Young, Slim Girls. The fog on top of the pool rose higher, thickening madly. The Delilahs appeared in the middle of the pool, water reaching their ankles as they stood with dripping hair and unclad bodies.

💦Midnight Swim💦 The water was cool against my skin as I swam silently across the neighbor’s pool at 1:42 AM. I knew I shouldn’t be here. Ryan’s wife was asleep inside the house, the lights had gone off upstairs almost an hour ago. But ever since he moved in next door three months ago, the tension between us had been building. Lingering stares over the fence. “Accidental” brushes when we both took out the trash. The way he looked at me in my bikini when I sunbathed.

Driving back to the club, I find Sasha waiting for me as soon as I step through the doors. “Alright, go ahead,” I motion to her, expecting her update. “Lucy has decided this Friday will be the ladies’ night,” Sasha says, a small smile on her lips. “So, you have four nights before it happens.” “That’s it?” I chuckle, walking toward the office. “Not exactly. Lucy also suggested that one of the women give Luna a guided tour of both downstairs and upstairs on the night.” That stops me in my tracks. I turn, my voice sharp. “No one but me will show her around the business. No one.”

We laze around drinking our lemonade with Clarissa still in the water and me and Selina sitting near each other with our legs in the pool. After finishing our glasses of lemonade we decide to start swimming properly and Selina's competitive side brings out my own competitive streak and we end up running through a bunch of competitions. We race each other to see who is the fastest, we see who can hold their breath underwater longest, who can hold an underwater handstand the longest, and a bunch of other challenges. Clarissa takes after her mother and isn’t overly competitive so she volunteers to be the judge while she just lounges around sipping on the freshly made lemonade.

Lawrence would be a welcome distraction and keep him from dwelling on hopeless desires. Lawrence smiled deviously. "Actually, I have scheduled an evening at the Midnight Garden. You are welcome to join me. Madame Chanson does miss your patronage." The Midnight Garden was a discreet club, full of hidden scandals and romantic trysts. The most public secret in London. Madame Chanson tailored it to the needs of any individual, man or woman wealthy enough to pay for membership. She brought in the most beautiful ladies, hired only the most handsome men, and the decadence of the surroundings promised sinful pleasures of all kinds. She'd also acquired the good will and patronage of those necessary t

Agatha was with Mickey, staying past dismissal to clean PERSEPHONE-11 while Isa took a nap in the corner. At 6:31, no visible sunlight in the sky remained aside from the faded twinkle of the stars and the occasional blink of flight-crafts. The Midnight Club made a rendezvous on the 7-11 a block away from Van Duke. Dean was there first, carrying a knapsack that contained two bottles of pink gin and a stack of disposable cups. Gwyneth came five minutes after, then Mickey, then Isaac, then Agatha, and Isa. “Yes, we’re fucking rulebreakers that’s what we are,” Dean laughed.

I nodded. Before Laila took a seat inside the black rover, I grabbed her arm and held her waist. I whispered, "Dress club appropriate for tonight. I will be heading to a meeting. I will see you at the club. Mario will escort you to the club at nine in the evening." She nodded. She slid inside the car. ❦ After the meeting with Alessio. I'm on my way to the club. Mario told me that they are also on their way. Upon my arrival at the club together with Alessio. Laila's car arrived near ours. I helped her out of the car. And to say I am appalled with her outfit is an understatement of the century. This ragazza certainly knows how to make men worship the ground she walks.

“Ladies and Gentlemen of Crescent Bay, My name is Madison Pierce, the captain of the Lacrosse team. I'm making this video in great fear and out of advice I received from close associates. This is to serve as a record in case anything bad happened to me. Mia Winston, my roommate, has been a thorn in my flesh from the beginning.” The drowsiness cleared from my system immediately and I sat up, having heard my name in this nonsense that Madison was doing. This girl was asking for trouble. Her eyes were wet, like she had been crying even though I knew that was bullshit. That girl was too dead inside to cry. Her hair was messy to make it look like she was disoriented. But she was doing it for the

But she immediately puts a blank look on her face before walking ahead of us. "She needs to stop being so stubborn before he completely walks away" Tori says as Liam wraps his arm around her waist as we all start to walk inside. I'm amazed at how nice the club looks for tonight. There's a big ass banner hanging above the bar that says 'HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY SLATER!' There's girls here I've never seen before. I look at Malachi with a questioning look. "They're from one of my other clubs kitten. They just wanted the extra money from tonight" he explains as these beautiful half dressed women start to crowd the bachelors. I see our own girls dancing their numbers on the various stages around the c
