The room is solemn.

“This could get us killed,” I whisper, knowing how Rocky handles this shit.

Tiffany’s eyes grow grave. “If we don’t, we’re dead anyway. This is our only shot. They aren’t threatening to pull us from the competition anymore. They are threatening our lives. If we don’t do this, it’s the end for us.”

You can cut the tension in the room with a knife. We all understand what this is now. They’ve upped their game. This is no longer small-time. This is the real deal.

We have to pull this off to stay alive, but if we do? It only ups the stakes.

“We got this,” I tell the girls as I stand. “Where do we start?”

Twenty-Four

My breath isshaky as we approach the door. Tiffany assured me she’d be able to get us in no problem, but I still worried that someone would recognize me. I’ve been here once before. It was with Willow, but I’m sure by the end of the night everyone knew we were with Nate and Rocky.

I try to stay in the middle of the girls, keeping the attention off of me.

I’m wearing a pair of cut-off shorts tonight with a tank top that shows my midriff. Tiffany dressed me, not willing to let me out of her sight after my disappearing act this afternoon.

The other girls are dressed in their own skimpy outfits. The goal tonight? To entice the other partygoers to want to get close. Once close, we seduce them into buying the pills.

That’s the best way to keep it low key. Make it seem like we are as high as the rest of the people.

When the bouncer lets us in without a second glance at me, I let out the breath I was holding. One hurdle down.

Let’s hope Nate isn’t here tonight.

We break off into pairs like we discussed prior to coming. One to do the seducing while the other has your back. Switching who is doing the selling and lookout between customers will hopefully keep the heat off of us.

Katie paired up with me, thankfully. I’m not sure she has it in her to being a sex symbol. She’s so meek.

“I’ll go first,” I yell into her ear.

She looks up at me with wide eyes, nodding her head.

Fuck, I’m going to end up selling hers too.

I approach the first guy I see who looks like he’s had a bit to drink. I reach out my hand to him. He doesn’t waste time. He pulls me in closer as he moves his body against mine.

I try to withhold the gag I feel from the smell of him as I lean in closer to his ear.

“You’re hot as fuck. Are you into party favors?”

He nips my ear, making my skin crawl. “What did you have in mind?”

“I have some X. Ten dollars and you could be rolling with me all night.”

He groans against my ear. “You have a deal, baby.”

His hand moves from my ass and before I know it, he’s slipping a ten into my cleavage. I slip out a small baggy, pressing it into his hand.

“Let’s get a drink to wash it down.”

He doesn’t let me go, taking the pill out to swallow it dry.

“What about you, baby? You going to roll with me?”
