Page 46 of Secrets of Euphoria

“Where’s Gia?” I asked.

She pointed over her shoulder. “Kirsten’s actually showing her how the rooms run for now since she couldn’t exactly come in here with me. I hope that’s okay?”

“Yes, of course,” I laid a hand on her shoulder. “Thanks for handling that.” I looked at Lonnie. “You know, for someone who’s not a dancer, you’ve been dancing a lot lately.”

She giggled. “I know.”

“You should consider working part time as one.” I winked. “You’re gorgeous and know your shit.”

“Thanks,” she beamed, “I’ll consider it if Mr. Aggio continues to show up.”

From around the corner, four cocktail waitresses materialized, balancing silver trays adorned with colorful drinks. I reached over to open one of the doors, allowing them to glide through and disperse around the room, serving guests with a variety of beverages. Amber and Lonnie trailed behind me, taking their places at the front of the room.

I immediately spotted Jade in the back, and I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt for keeping such a big secret from her. Trying to push it aside, I nodded to several familiar faces on my way to join her. We exchanged a silent greeting before I leaned against the billiard table at the back of the room, taking in the scene before me.

She stood on her toes, putting her lips next to my ear. “Everything okay?”

Lying with full regret, I nodded with a half-smile. “Just a busy night already.”

“Same here.” She scanned the room, whispering. “After this, I’m free if you are.”

Normally, Jade and I kept our distance from one another, but tonight, I just wanted to reassure her that I wasn’t going anywhere. She was busy on her iPad, making sure the mood was set and the songs were queued. Just as she stuck the magnetic pen back in place, I took her hand in mine.

Covering my mouth with my other fist, I nodded once, muttering, “Only if you give me a lap dance.”

She lifted her gaze to mine. “Your office or—” her quiet voice trailed off.

“I’ll cut the camera feed in room two and we can meet there.”

The dim lights in the room felt a bit darker tonight. Examining each of the men, I counted them, taking note of who was who. They were all familiar, so there’d be no issue. Good, I thought. I can’t take any more surprises tonight.

Amber glided gracefully toward the first man on the far side of the room, her fingers delicately combing through his hair as she swayed her hips in a mesmerizing figure eight. Meanwhile, Lonnie strutted confidently toward Vito. I nudged Jade lightly in the side and she looked up at me, taking a deep breath to steady herself for whatever was about to unfold. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as the dancers captivated their audience with their seductive movements.

Lowering my lips to her ear, I whispered, “What the fuck is she doing?”

“I don’t know.”

Amber caught a glimpse of me, and her eyes flickered. I gave a small shrug and subtly shook my head to indicate that I didn’t want her attention. She shifted her focus back to the man she was dancing for before moving on to the next one.

Lonnie leaned into Vito, and his hands moved to her breasts. He slid his fingers under her top, pulling it down. I instinctively moved forward, but Jade stopped me by placing her hand on mine. I took a step back, bracing myself against the pool table. According to our rules, even VIP guests weren’t allowed to touch the girls unless they initiated physical contact first.

“What the fuck’s he doing?” I growled.

“She’s not given us the signal. She’s fine.”

Clenching my jaw and fists, I crossed my arms over my chest and watched Amber expertly work her way around the room. She had already discarded her top and was now sensually moving on the lap of a man who was lounging back in his chair, casually sipping his drink. As she ran her hands over her own breasts, the other men looked on in awe. Then she bent down to twerk in front of another, allowing him to touch her behind.

I turned my gaze back to Lonnie, who was straddling Vito and grinding against him. Her movements were synchronized with the music playing in the background. She placed his hands back on her breasts and lifted her eyes to mine with a mischievous smile. I raised an eyebrow and tilted my head. She gave me a subtle nod to let me know everything was okay before focusing back on Vito, whispering something in his ear. He moved a hand to the front of her panties.

What the fuck?! Not wanting to cause a scene, and ensuring I could see every angle in case I needed to intervene, I meandered to the side of the room, leaning on the wall. He was stroking her slit up and down with his knuckle. Lonnie, what are you doing? Her head rolled back, and she closed her eyes as she simulated sex. He continued to lay money on the chair arm next to her. The more she moved, the more he paid.

I glanced back at Jade, who looked surprised, and then at Amber, who was flirting with other men while wearing nothing but her shoes. Despite my rules for the room, she remained professional and followed protocol. When I turned back to Vito, he had freed his long, hard cock from his pants and Lonnie was stroking it against herself. She lifted up as he slipped her panties to the side.

If this had been Luxe, I would’ve let things continue and eagerly watched. Jade and I might have even indulged in some fun of our own in a corner while watching them. Euphoria came with strict rules: no sexual activities allowed in any of the VIP rooms unless it involved management or one of our close friends.

“Jade, shut it down!” I barked.

Startled, Amber sprang away from the man’s lap. Jade quickly ended the music and put her phone to her ear, most likely calling for Ian’s help. Lonnie flew up, bringing her hands together in front of her. Meanwhile, Vito stood and calmly fixed his pants as I rushed to Lonnie’s side, shielding her behind me.
