Knowing I have the evening to myself, I decide to go to Club Wonderland even though I don’t have a date with Kid. I call to make sure there’s a dressing room available. Thankfully I managed to reserve one.

I gather myself, shower and find something special to wear. I stop in at the local costume store and buy a purple glittery mask to wear with my purple and black flapper dress. I have purple thigh-high boots to match and purple extensions to put in my hair.

Driving into the private garage, I park. Slipping on the mask before I exit my car, I grab my bag and walk into the basement level and to a smaller dressing room than I usually use.

Inside, I lay my costume over the cushioned chair and begin to put on my black eye makeup, then slip into my dress and boots.

When I finish, I leave the dressing room and head toward the elevator. Stepping inside when the doors slide open, I press the ‘M’ and ride up to the main level of the mansion.

The club feels like home as I walk toward the bar. Tonight’s theme is the same as when I’m usually here, The Darkened City. The Voyeur’s spotlight is on the high ceiling, and I turn to look upward. He sits in his chair with his arms resting on the balcony’s railing. I don’t wave. I turn away and keep a low profile tonight.

“Hey, beautiful. What can I do for you tonight?”

I spin and nearly fall into a towering, muscular man in white with a pointy white mask. Steadying myself, I reach for the bar, but he takes my forearm in his enormous paws.

A shy smile fills my face below my mask. I tilt my head up and catch his arctic blue eyes. My heart skips a few beats as I’m mesmerized by his handsomeness.

“Thank you…?”

“Ice,” he says and slides his hand down my arm, taking my hand in his.

My knees go weak and he grabs my other arm to keep me from falling. “I’m sorry. I should sit down for a moment.” I try to walk toward the stool beside me, but my legs feel like wet pasta noodles.

“Let me help you.” Ice moves me to the stool and lifts me by my waist up onto it.

I swipe my forehead and lay my purse on the bar. “Thanks.” I turn away from Ice. His aura is too powerful for me to keep eye contact with him. He’s exquisite.

“You’re welcome. Who do I have the pleasure of meeting?” He stands next to me, leaning his muscular body on the bar.

I cross my legs to pinch my clenching pussy. I remember I don’t have an alias for tonight. I didn’t expect to interact with anyone, so I didn’t think of a name. Fuck! Blinking rapidly, my mind races to come up with a name, any name. After a few seconds, I blurt out, “Jezzy.” I have no clue where that name came from, but I go with it. I turn and extend my hand to him, “It’s nice to meet you, Ice.”

He takes my hand in his and brings it to his full lips, kissing the back of it.

My eyes slam shut as jolts of lightening shoot through me. I’m putty in this gorgeous man’s hands as he steps closer and places his other hand on my shoulder.

Leaning closer he whispers against my hair, “What can I do for you, Jezzy?”

Fuck! I quiver as I meet his icy gaze and smile. “Um… Shouldn’t we go somewhere and discuss that in private?”

He tugs on my arm gently and I hop down from the stool. Before we leave the bar, he asks, “Would you like a drink to bring with you?”

“That would be nice, thank you.” I smile and decide on a Manhattan.

He waves toward the young woman bartending tonight. “The lady will have a Manhattan please.”

The bartender nods and turns to make my drink. In less than a minute she turns back around, holding the tumbler toward me. “Here you go. Enjoy.”

Taking it in hand, I smile and say, “Thank you.”

Ice waves his muscular arm for me to walk ahead of him toward the negotiating room.

When we arrive at the door, he swings it open and stands to the side, letting me enter first. I wait as he closes the door. Smiling, he pulls out a chair for me at the small table for two.

I sit and place my drink down.

He spins the other chair around and straddles it. “Jezzy, why are you here tonight?”

I avoid eye contact with Ice and dart my gaze around the small room. I’ve been here one other time with Kid. The room didn’t seem so small then.
