Why did he have to paint that picture in my head after a whole week of depriving me of it? Is this a game?
“Or you can come with me,” he offers with nonchalance. “You followed me here so you might as well see what I’m up to.”
“N…” I trail off at the dark look in his green gaze.
“What was that, Butterfly?”
“Nothing.” I clear my throat. “What is this place anyway?”
“Come with me and you’ll find out.” His voice is smooth, suave, like I imagine the devil sounded when he tempted Eve.
But he’s right — not that I’ll ever admit it. I’m already here, so I might as well meet the other side of Cole.
I walk ahead of him, and when he doesn’t follow, I toss a glance over my shoulder. “Aren’t you coming, coward?”
He throws his head back in laughter and I freeze in place. My heart thrums hard in my chest at the view of his happy face. That sound of laughter is as rare as a passing unicorn in Cole’s case.
I wish I could somehow steal it and store it away for safekeeping.
The moment ends when he soon joins me and we’re going through the entrance he parked his car near.
Someone who looks like a bouncer tips his chin at him, and it’s then that I’m positive we’re at some type of a club.
“She’s with me.” Cole motions at me and the bouncer just nods again. I nod back, not sure about the protocol here.
If Cole is known enough to be recognised and even given a free pass, this should mean he’s somewhat of a regular.
A petite woman wearing a satin gown and a black kitty mask smiles at us. “Welcome to La Débauche.”
Is this some sort of a costume party? If so, I’m not dressed for the occasion. I actually have the perfect Chanel dress for it. Also…
“Debauchery?” I whisper-hiss at Cole.
He ignores me and motions with his head at the girl, leading us into a room with black wallpaper and no furnishing except for a sofa and a rack with hangers full of black clothes. “Should I arrange a separate room for the Miss?”
“No, we’re fine, thank you.” Cole flashes her his kind smile that can melt ice.
“The show starts in ten minutes, sir.”
“Arrange a private viewing session.”
“Yes, sir.” The girl bows and closes the door behind her.
Yes, sir? What the hell was that all about?
I take a quick sweep of the black gowns and trousers in their plastic bags. There are also masks like the one the girl was wearing.
The reality of things slowly filters in. The secrecy, the club’s name, the girl’s clothes and her words. I swing back towards Cole. “Did you bring me to a sex club?”
“You came on your own. You can leave at any time.” He unbuttons his shirt. “But you’re not a coward, are you?”
Damn it. He always gets me with that argument.
“What are you doing?” I murmur as he shrugs off his shirt, revealing his taut muscles, before he moves on to his belt.
“There’s a dress code for this place.” A smirk tugs his lips. “Why are you shy when you’ve already seen me naked, Butterfly?
