“So, when you mentioned ‘members’ contracts,’ what exactly were you referring to?” I asked as we started back toward the door.

“The members pay a substantial monthly fee for services that no ordinary club can provide,” she replied. “And the well-being of our girls is vital, not just financial. Their safety is our priority.”

“How does it all work?” I asked.

“The members come with specific requests,” she began.

“Requests like… sexual services?” I asked hesitantly, unsure how far I wanted to delve into this dark world.

She nodded slowly, her expression not changing. “Yes. It’s not uncommon for certain members to develop preferences for specific girls and vice versa. All members are required to undergo monthly health screenings as part of their membership, ensuring everyone’s safety. They also sign a non-disclosure agreement, and not just for their protection, but also for the girls’.”

I nodded, absorbing all the information, and at the same time caught sight of a stunning girl with dark blue hair stepping out of one of the rooms, flanked by two men.

“Two?” My eyes widened as I turned to Mya.

“Yes, some members prefer to engage with more than one party. It’s not as rare as you might think.”

This was crazy. I never knew clubs like this existed.

“Have any of the girls been forced into anything they didn’t want to do or… have any been attacked?” I asked.

Mya shook her head, her expression hardening. “Hell no. Nico would never allow that. He’s fiercely protective. If something like that were to happen, he would make an example out of anyone involved.”

I winced at her fierce tone.

“Let’s head back to the office and start your training,” Mya said. Her eyes flickered to Enzo, who nodded in agreement, and together, we crossed the softly illuminated corridor. Along the way, we passed a room with imposing double doors with two guards stationed outside.

“What goes on in that room?” I asked, gesturing toward the doors.

Mya glanced at it before responding. “Our dancers perform in there for our VIP clients. We maintain a strict policy about who gets to see those performances.”

Huh. I wanted to ask more questions about the performances and who was on the VIP list, but I brushed those thoughts aside since it was not in my job description to know all the details.

We continued down the hallway, and I heard a voice I hadn’t expected to hear.

“Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!”

I turned to see Tabi walking in my direction, wearing a silver rhinestone top that looked like a bra, and a matching thong with a garter and silver heels. The rhinestones sparkled in the light. Her long platinum hair that she normally left down was pulled halfway up. She broke into a beaming smile when our gazes met. “I can’t believe you’re here!” she cried, rushing over and grasping my hands. “I take it you got the job?”

“Yeah. Wh-what are you doing there?”

“After that night you were kidnapped by the boss man, Lola came back after my last show and said that I had to be let go too. And that I should expect a call from a Mya from Luxe Club for a great opportunity,” Tabi said excitedly. “I wanted to tell you so bad after that night, but I was told to keep it a secret.”

I looked to Mya, who didn’t say a word but had a sly grin on her face.

“Plus, the money is sooo good, and it allows me to go back to school,” Tabi continued.

“That’s awesome, Tabi,” I told her.

“I heard today was your first day and wanted to check in before I started my shift.”

“Star!” one of the bouncers called to Tabi as he approached.

That must have been her stage name. It fit her.

“You’re up in five,” he reminded her.

“Shit,” she muttered. She pulled me in for a hug. “I’m so happy we still get to work together.”
