Once the girls were dressed, Master’s men led them out one by one as they went for training. I was the last in the cell, getting ready to walk out. I had on my waitressing uniform, which was extremely revealing, just a bit more than those poor dancers. My breasts were exposed and pushed up high, and my tiny skirt barely covered my rear end. “Hold on, there Jillian,” Master spoke quietly as he rolled his cigar in his mouth. He let out a puff of smoke in my face and I turned my head in disgust.
“You listen here, and you listen well. Be a good girl tonight, show some smiles or that gorgeous alabaster skin will be slapped by yours truly.” He chuckled as another puff of smoke left his mouth. It wasn’t a threat; it was a promise. “One more thing, you act up, I’ll break you in your first time if you get my drift.” Master gave an evil smirk and walked away.
The nights he tried to sell me and failed, he would paddle my butt, thighs, and stomach, all of which could be hidden under my uniform. He didn’t beat the other girls like me because they had to perform. The cops would question why some little girl was up on stage, so thankfully I never had to grace the stage. Now he was threatening something completely new. Have him take the one thing left of me or have someone else do it.
“Yes, Master.” I kept my head low, not daring to look him in the eye. I knew his limit, and tonight was it.
By the time I got to the floor, the male patrons were already seated at tables. Girls that I helped dress were dancing, sitting, and talking with some rich male businessmen. They all acted so pleasantly when they sat on some of their laps. Even though they sit there with a smile on their faces, their insides had already died knowing that their lives were ruined.
Gracefully walking to the kitchen, I picked up my small apron and the notepad and headed to a few tables. Many were regulars and knew my name which they call for me constantly. “Jillian!” Loukas called me over. He and his crew came in every Friday night like clockwork. However, this night he had different friends with him. “How is my favorite waitress?” Loukas held out his arm for a side hug.
“I’m well, thank you.” I gave a genuine smile. Loukas could always make me laugh and his commentary on the new girls’ dancing was unexpectedly hilarious.
Loukas was Greek and had the beautiful, tanned skin that every man should be jealous of. His dark stubble on his strong jawline lined up well with his strong cheekbones I’m sure he was a lucky catch for some lady if he would get out of a strip club.
“Guys, I want you to meet Jillian! She started working here a year ago and we’ve become best mates!” All the men looked over at me and gave me a friendly smile. Some looked like they were out of place, unsure how they should be acting but Loukas quickly gave me their names. “Hermes, Ares, and Vulcan,” Loukas said with pride as he sat. “We have one more coming. He’ll be here in a few.”
The men were like Loukas, tall, strong-looking, and handsome. Vulcan had a bit of twitch in his left eye, but he could easily get anyone he wanted.
“Pleasure to meet you.” I nodded at them.
The three stared at me until Vulcan spoke up. “Aren’t you a little young to be working here?”
I blushed scarlet, knowing I look extremely young. “I’m actually 20,” I said meekly. “Good genes I guess.” I shrugged my shoulders. Loukas’s lips were pressed in a thin line and looked at his friends. After a few moments, they gave me their drink orders and I went to the bar to have them prepared. Looking back, I saw the small group talking in hushed tones, arguing, and throwing napkins in each other’s faces.
My hope was they never get on the VIP list. They all seemed good-natured, and it would be a shame to see the reputation I have of them tarnished. Especially if I am to be auctioned off tonight. Letting a large sigh escape my lips, I grabbed the tray to head back to their table.
A cold chill surrounded me as I started handing them their drinks. The music was blaring, and the lights were flashing, but as I stood up after handing Vulcan his drink, I felt a large shadow engulf my body.
