Forty-five.
Age means nothing to me, it’s how I feel on the inside and my insides are brimming with youth. It’s my mind that’s exhausted. I carry this group, I lead us with an iron fist, and sometimes their faces feel just how iron it is. My birthday used to be a cause for excitement and anticipation, but now I just want to get it over with.
I’m getting restless as I pour over details, making sure everything is exactly right, and keeping our manager in the dark. This is by far the largest group of them yet and the original four who coerced us to sign our names in blood, taking advantage of our young age and jaded pasts.
There is one thing I’m looking forward to and it’s the one thing I have been cursing myself for. I pull out the switchblade in my pocket and open it up. There are still a few brown spots of her dried blood on the blade and I run my tongue along its sharpened edge, risking the slice to taste her again.
I wasn’t lying when I told her she tasted of pain and weakness, but there was something I left out. Her blood was flavored like sin and that is the part that calls to me. I have never had something so weak and yet so sinful.
My cock swells in my pants and I grab it as my tongue envelopes the tip of the blade. Soon enough, I will have her at my mercy, her body to do with as I please, and those eyes to stare into as long as I want. When I’ve had my fill, I’ll be more than ready to let her go.
Chapter Ten
Tempest
The club is packed tonight, and I am still shook over the fact that in a few hours I will be boarding a jet to an unknown destination to earn thirty grand. It’s an answer to so many of my problems. Does it clear all my debt? No, but it will certainly chop it down to normal standards.
I’ve just finished my set and I’m waiting for Sky to finish up hers, then we’re going to leave here and head to the address that was sent to us via text this morning. I may be excited to earn all this money in what I hope will be an exotic locale but I also feel trepidation towards all the secrets and seeing Raiden again.
My mind has been held hostage the last few days since I saw him and my body replays every spot he’s touched me.
“You girls are so lucky.” Tiny moans from her vanity.
“I know.” Diamond says, her voice dripping with disdain.
“I’m sorry you didn’t get chosen this year.” I say to her and she gives me a small smile.
I saw the girl that Squall had chosen this time and she’s also a gorgeous plus size dancer from another club.
“Verona.” Carl calls from the doorway. “My office.”
I feel like telling him to fuck off but quite frankly, thirty grand still ain’t enough to walk out on my job. Besides, Carl hasn’t done anything to me but be kind and give me a job.
He’s sitting at his desk when I get there and I close the door behind me.
“What’s up?” I ask and he looks up at me.
“I need you to sign this form before you leave today.” He shoves a piece of paper across the desk.
I read it and laugh out loud. It’s basically something that states I chose of my own free will to participate at this event and in no way did The Temple have anything to do with it.
“This is all starting to sound like if I die, then none of y’all can be sued.” I look into his wide eyes. “Do I need to know something?”
“It’s because you are leaving the country with a group of men to do a private party. You met those men in my club and if anything happens to you overseas, I do not need the police breathing down my neck.”
“Gotcha.” I sign my name on the dotted line.
I turn to leave his office and hear him clear his throat.
“Take care, Temp.”
“Thanks Carl.” I grin over my shoulder and exit the office.
When I get back to the dressing room, Chanel is there looking through a few of my outfits.
“Can I help you?” I ask and she spins around.
“I figure you’re gonna be gone all week, might as well put a few of these to good use.” She stumbles over her words.
