CHAPTER ONE

Faith

“You’re fired, Faith. I’ll see to it that Gina handles the paperwork.”

Cassius Blackwood strode out the door without a backward glance.

I was kneeling on the floor, naked and shivering. I shakily climbed to my feet and stumbled to the bathroom.

Why did he leave? What had I done wrong?

I cleaned myself up quickly, barely glancing at myself in the mirror. I didn’t want to see my haunted reflection or the glittering diamond V pendant still adorning my throat. I remained a virgin, all right. It was my first night at the club, and I’d been fired. I wouldn’t be able to keep my brother in his treatment program. We’d be out on the streets once again. Lucas was going to get worse, and it was all my fault.

I didn’t even know what I’d done wrong.

Cassius Blackwood had sent for me. He’d bought a platinum-level membership so he could take my virginity. I would’ve earned two million dollars from the agreement if everything had gone well. I would’ve been able to keep Lucas safe, getting the medicine he so desperately needed…

But that was all in the past now. Somehow, I’d ruined everything. I’d been afraid when Cassius sent for me. Afraid of the moody billionaire, fearful of the private room, scared to lose my virginity—but once he had me alone, all the fear had left me. Something unexpected replaced it: desire.

I’d wanted him. Badly.

The club owner had physically possessed me in a way I’d never expected. Bending me over the chaise lounge, he’d owned the most private parts of my body. But it had been more than that. He’d opened me up somehow, and I meant more than just spreading my legs apart. Cassius had shown me a whole new world. He’d shown me thepossibilityof my body, the pleasure of it, and an overwhelming desire unlike anything I’d ever anticipated.

If he’d asked, I would’ve given myself to him willingly—all of myself—my body, my virginity, and… more. I didn’t know how to describe my feelings. They were utterly foreign. But when Cassius took control of my pleasure, it had been easy, natural, to surrender to him. It felt inevitable.

In our private room, Cassius Blackwood had owned me.

He’d possessed me.

He’d known my desires better than I did.

Cassius had unlocked the secrets of my body, unleashing incredible, overwhelming pleasure. He’d shown me the tantalizing prospects of being with him. I shivered just thinking about it. Our brief time together made me want to give him more, take more, and experience things with the icy billionaire I’d never even dreamed about.

I was a virgin with minimal experience. I’d never had a serious boyfriend. I’d never casually hooked up with a guy. But the things Cassius had done to me, the things he’d made me feel? No ordinary man could do that. I might not know much, but I knewthat.

I gingerly pulled my lingerie back on. The lacy thong bodysuit mocked me. My sexy outfit seemed silly. Cassius didn’t want me anymore and didn’t want me working at the club. I didn’t know what to do. I picked up my phone from the floor, grateful to have the lifeline to my brother back. But at the same time, having my phone proved I’d been fired. Instead of millions of dollars in my bank account, I was leaving the club with nothing but what I’d brought: my cracked cell phone and my virginity.

I slid out of the private room, staying to the dark edges of the club. I didn’t want anyone to see me in my shame. I needed to exit quickly, reaching the rear entrance to escape hastily.

But I needn’t have worried. Everyone at the club wasveryoccupied.

My jaw dropped as I maneuvered through the lounge. I couldn’t even process the sexual pandemonium erupting around me. I quickly checked the bar—my BFF Macy was still with Elias, the billionaire who’d shown such interest in her at the beginning of the night. They frantically kissed, his hands gripping her ass, and she ground against him.

That was tame compared to everyone else.

Onstage, my roommate Tate had one of the patrons naked and tied up beneath her. Tate still wielded her whip; she’d donned a black mask. Her patent leather spiked heel boot pinned the billionaire down as she whipped his bare ass.Crack! Crack!He cried out, begging for more.

A small crowd had gathered around them, watching. Some of the patrons who were in the audience had club employees on their knees in front of them, sucking them off. Other patrons were having sex with girls—multiple girls—on the couches, in plain view of everyone.

Gina had been right. It just took one couple to get the party started… club employees were getting penetrated left and right!

I hurried past one of the semi-private rooms, glimpsing inside. A couple was riding the sex swing. Mia the virgin was astride Darren Payne, the billionaire who’d tried to buy me before Cassius had interceded. His head was thrown back, cords straining on his neck as she pulsed on top of him. For a virgin, Mia was quite savvy.Cassius should’ve picked her for platinum level…

The next semi-private room I ran by had another audience. They watched as a raven-haired beauty got banged in the ass while giving a blow job to another patron. Everywhere I turned, people were fucking. There was girl-on-girl action, girl-on-guy, a tangle of bodies having group sex… Cries of pleasure erupted all around me. The energy at the club was electric, frantic, pulsating with the still-throbbing music.

I had to get out of there, fast. All I’d done was orgasm and get fired. The sooner I was alone, the better.
