“What do you know about The Dark Odyssey?” Comes his simple question.
I’m thrown because I actually don’t know what to say. Of course, I did my research, so I know the general run down. Somehow though, telling him details like there’s no entry to anyone under twenty one and nudity is optional don’t seem to cut it. He looks at me like he wants more of an answer than that.
I’ve heard things, Chloe tells me things because she comes here a lot. I know enough to stay away. I know enough to know that if you aren’t used to seeing certain things out in the open, the place is not for you. No offence to anyone who’s into the life of wild sexual adventure. I kind of wish sometimes I could be like that. I just know on the regular this club would not be on my list of places I want to visit.
Do I say that?
Hell no. Not if I don’t want him to show me the door.
“It’s classy,” I nod and offer up a smile again, bringing my hands together I think of all the good I can tell him. Like what I observed. “Very classy and definitely the kind of place I would love to waitress in. I’m used to dealing with a variety of different clients.”
His gaze intensifies at that answer. “That’s what you know about the club, Miss Chase?” The way he says my name is with an edge of the desire I see in his eyes. He chuckles and runs a hand through his hair. “The fact that it’s a sex club completely goes unnoticed to you?”
I’m almost afraid to answer. I know it’s silly not to mention that but who would? “No, I noticed. I noticed for sure that it’s a sex club.”
“Does that bother you?”
“No,” bald faced lie. Jesus, I can’t even believe I lied with the straight bald face too although I can feel my cheeks flush. “Not at all.”
The curiosity comes back into his eyes, replacing the desire. Now he walks over to me, right up to me and looks me over. He walks around me slowly and my nerves spike from the effect of having his eyes drink me in. Even when I can’t see him, I feel the effect of his eyes. The sexual tension sends shivers down my spine and our eyes lock when he returns to face me. Our eyes lock and I swallow hard wishing I weren’t so attracted to him.
“Waitress it is. The hours are seven until midnight unless given other instructions. You work five days a week, unless given other instructions. The salary starts at fifty to a hundred grand.”
I blink rapidly and scrunch up my face because I’m not sure I heard him right. I can’t help the look of shock I give him. I couldn’t have heard him right at all. Yes, Chloe might have said the pay was good but what he’d just said is unreal.
The starting salary at the law firm after internship was over a hundred grand. How can it be that here for waitressing?
His lips arch into a sexy grin when he sees my reaction.
“I’m sorry, I’m having a little trouble hearing today. Can you repeat that please?” I ask.
“Seven until midnight, pay starts at fifty to a hundred grand.”
“For a waitressing position? And five hours work a day?”
“We value our waitresses here Miss Chase. The Dark Odyssey is no regular sex club. You are chosen and considered as part of the attraction to the patrons that come here. You have to do certain things, some of which make you more special.”
God…
Why did that sound not quite right to me? Do certain things that makes you more special.
In a sex club what could that mean?
I’m not stupid. Not at all. Stupid didn’t earn me graduating top of my class at Harvard. Neither did it secure my internship at Silvermans.
Stupid, however, makes me want to doubt what he means and err on the side of logic. Waitressing means taking orders for food and drink, right?
It’s desperation that makes me cling to that and not anything else.
But … what waitress do I know makes a starting salary of a hundred grand a year? Starting salary…
“What do you mean by special?” I ask. My voice is a little firmer than I’ve been.
“Special here can mean many things, it also determines the level of salary.”
“Isn’t it based on experience?” My voice now comes out slightly high-pitched.
“No, it’s not. It’s based on perception. Opinion, and what she is valued at.” He’s looking at me and the heat in his eyes burns me up. I get the instant impression that he’s talking about so much more than the job.
