EXCERPT
“What’s the dark room?”
I ask, trying not to sound intrigued. Although, deep down, a small part of me
is jealous.
Before she can answer,
Stacey hollers her name. “We’ll talk later,” she explains quickly, before
rushing to her sister’s side.
“Do you think we should
go out into the club so the escorts see us?” Rachel asks, craning her head to
see through the entryway.
“Are you serious? You
actually want to be a part of this?”
Her eyes go wide. “Hell
yeah. I’m not ready to settle down and have kids. I want to live life while I’m
still young. Once you get married, you’re stuck with the same dick for the rest
of your life. Talk about boring.”
She wouldn’t say that
if she found someone she was in love with. Taking a look around the room, there
was a lot going on out in the club. “Okay, fine. Come on, Rach, let’s take a
look around. If we’re not allowed to, we can say we’re going to the bathroom.”
Shrieking in
excitement, she jumps to her feet. “Thank you, thank you! Let’s go.”
We wave at the other
ladies in our party and head into the club. On the other side of the door, the
music is playing and the dancers on stage are pumping along with it. They give
everyone sneak peeks of their junk and I can’t help but catch my breath.
“I wonder if the owner
has to see everyone’s giblets before they get hired. I’ve never seen so many
huge cocks in one place at one time,” I murmur in her ear.
“I know, right? It’s
heaven. Why can’t I find a guy who's gifted like that?”
“Join the club and I’m
sure you can have all you want.”
Her eyes widen. “Do you
think we have a chance? We’re both sexy as hell. And you’re a trainer for
Christ’s sake. You look better than me.”
“You’re more outgoing
than I am.”
She shrugs. “So? As
long as you have what they want, I don’t think it’ll matter.” We walk around
the club and every so often I see some of the escorts studying individual
people. However, I never see any of them looking at me.
Meredith catches up to
us and grabs our shoulders. “Girls, the night’s almost over. I think Stacey’s
worn a hole in her panties from all the grinding.”
We all laugh and follow
her back to the VIP room. Stacey’s leaning on her elbow, about to fall asleep.
“Thank goodness her wedding isn’t tomorrow.” I giggle.
“She has three more
weeks to back out if she wants to.” Stacey hears Meredith and flips her off. “Just
kidding, sis.” She turns to us and smiles. “She hates it when I say that. Are
you two staying a little longer? Stacey is riding back with Alex.”
“I’d like to.” Rachel
pouts her lips and turns to me. “Just a few more minutes?”
“Fine,” I grumble. Saying
our goodbyes to Stacey, some of the other girls help her out of the room. Once
they’re gone, Meredith joins Rachel and me back in the VIP room. It’s just us,
which is perfect because we have full view of the stage.
“So, tell us about this
dark room,” Rachel prods.
Smiling wide, she leans
forward but then stops when her gaze meets something at the door. “I think
you’re about to find out for yourselves.”
“Good evening, ladies,”
a voice calls out. Rachel gasps and my heart thunders out of control. It couldn’t
be true, could it? Turning, I focus my attention on the tall, dark and handsome
escort. He smirks and nods toward the door. “I was wondering if you ladies
would be interested in exploring all of the possibilities the club has to
offer.”
“Yes,” Meredith answers
before we can. “They would love to.”
He winks at her and
laughs. “It’s good to see you again, Ms. Chambers. Do you want to come with
them?”
“Of course.”
She and Rachel get up
and follow him out the door, leaving me to stew in my seat. “Mia, come on!”
Rachel demands when she notices I’m not following them.
“I don’t know if this
is such a good idea.”
Sighing, she walks up
to me and takes my hand. “You can do this. Don’t you owe it to yourself to live
your life? When you’re old and gray, you can look back and say, ‘I did this and
I wasn’t afraid.’”
“I don’t think fucking
strangers is an accomplishment.”
She shakes her head.
“No, but living out your true fantasies is. Not many people get the chance to
do that. Now let's go!”
Taking a deep breath, I
follow them down a side hallway to a closed door. The escort types in a code
and it opens up to another hallway. Once the door shuts, he turns to face us.
“You two have been selected to be a part of Society X’s elite. I’ll tell you
more about it, but first, is this something you think you’re interested in? If
not, I’ll be happy to escort you back to the main room.” He stares at me, but I
stand firm and nod once. “Good, let’s get started.”
We walk down the hall
to another room, where he picks up a couple of documents and hands them to us.
“These are your applications. Fill them out, and later on in the week we’ll let
you know if you passed all the requirements. More information will be given to
you then, but for now, just know that we’ll take care of your needs—meet your
every desire.”
“So you can get a horse
in here?” I giggle, my nerves getting the best of me.
Meredith snorts, but
the guy stares at me and doesn’t laugh. He must think I’m serious. Great.
Rachel’s eyes about fall out of her face and she smacks me in the arm. “Mia!
Knock it off, would you?” She turns to our escort. “Please continue, and do
your best to ignore my friend.”
He nods and takes us on
a tour, showing us the viewing room, the bondage room, and lastly, the dark
room. “In the dark room, your partner will not be able to see you. You’ll rely
on your other four senses to guide you. This room is purely confidential and
anonymous, since you won’t be able to talk with or see your partner. But rest
assured, all of our clients are top notch. We’re very particular about who we
pick.”
“So basically, you’re
saying you’re not going to invite smelly-ass men with beer guts?” I ask. Rachel
snickers and Meredith tries to hide her smile.
He shakes his head.
“No. The only reason we would find someone of that stature is if a client
requested it, but so far that hasn’t been the case.” I didn’t think so. “Does
any of this sound appealing to you?” he asks.
Rachel and Meredith
both stare at me with hopeful eyes. Sighing in defeat, I hold out my hand. “I’m
going to need a pen.”
