Page 4 of Room One Hundred and Eleven

“I don’t understand.” I glance up at Gunner. “Is this sin place something like your club?”

“Yes.” He nods. “In a way. Here we have open play areas and private rooms for whatever their owners choose to do inside with anyone who joins them consensually. Club Sin is known for delivering people’s fantasies. Each room provides an opportunity for a different experience.”

“What’s room 111 for?” Riley seems as fascinated as I am about it. “Maybe we should go check it out.”

Kane bristles. “Your perfect ass is staying right here with us.”

She rolls her eyes but pats his puffed-up chest. “Down, boy, I meant with you of course.”

“This room is booked by people with particular tastes. For the weekend in question, by three men in particular who are looking for the right woman to join them.” Gunner clears his throat. What the hell could a sex club owner be uncomfortablesaying to me in front of his fiancée and another woman who lives the same lifestyle as them?

His dancing around the truth probably should be a warning.

Still, my mind is stuck on the part about three men.

My boss is willing to pay me to go away with a trio of guys who can afford something like this, who want to spoil me and give me a break from work? I’m not seeing the downside.

“They’re looking for a virgin, for starters,” Gunner admits.

“Oh yeah, we’re out.” Melody and Riley crack up as they shrug at each other, sporting matching grins.

So all I have to do is let them punch my V-card in exchange for a wild weekend? After hearing all about Melody and Riley’s first times I’d be dumb not to say yes. “Count me in.”

“Poppy.” Fitch scrubs his hands over his face.

“What?” I shrug. “I get the idea. Fancy-ass building, big-city lights, rich men willing to pay to get off on their kink of being the only person—people—to have possessed some young woman’s body. An all-expenses-paid luxury vacation with three partners who will honor and value sharing my first time.”

Pivoting, I turn to face Melody and Riley. “I should do it, right?”

“You trust these guys?” Riley asks Gunner.

“I wouldn’t have brought it up if I didn’t.” His frown makes me glad she asked so I didn’t have to.

I can’t afford to offend my boss, especially when he’s a man as powerful and influential as Gunner.

“Club Sin vets their members, same as we do. Plus we’ve run in the same circles as these guys for years. They know what they’re doing,” Kane adds.

Melody cuts the tension. “That means they’re going to treat you well, Poppy. In bed and out of it. Show you a good time. Make sure you’re so tired each night that you can’t help but rest. I vote yes. Go for it, girl.”

“Um, so… What do I wear?” I don’t think scrubs are going to cut it. Women at Gunner’s usually go one of three ways—stunning cocktail dresses, lingerie, or bare-ass naked.

I’ve only got a budget for the last option, and there’s no way I’m bold enough for that with strangers who aren’t medical professionals like me in some impersonal exam room.

A grin spreads slowly over Kane’s lips, his dark smile wicked. “If you decide to do it, Melody and Riley can help you with that. Their treat. By them, I mean the three guys you’ll be meeting, of course. They can afford it.”

“Take an extra day for shopping and prep.” Fitch nods. “Riley, will you book spa treatments? Go all out.”

“You don’t have to ask me twice.” She turns and high-fives Melody. “Girl day!”

“What have I gotten myself into?” I mutter.

“You really should read the fine print before you commit to things.” Fitch shakes his head, concern pinching the corners of his lips. “Maybe then you’d realize?—”

“Let it be.” Gunner cuts him off.

“Does it matter?” I shrug. “Riley and Melody are right. I need a break. I want to see how the other half lives. And I’m going to enjoy the heck out of being pampered for a bit. So…I accept. Thank you.”

“The pleasure will be all theirs.” Kane grins and shares a knowing stare with Gunner and Fitch.
