the attention of over half the men in my club.” I turn my head back and forth looking around the room and sure enough there are over a dozen pair of eyes on me. “In any other place, I’d say that attention is good…” As he speaks in my ear, I feel his hand moving slowly up my back, creating a tingle in its wake, “but here in my club, I’m afraid you might not like their kind of attention.” At this, he disappears, and I’m left with my heart lodged in my throat. What the hell was that? What makes him think he can just put his hands on me?
    A few minutes go by before Amber walks over with a glass of clear liquid in her hand and places it on the counter before me. “Mr. Lewis gave me explicit orders to keep an eye on you.” As if I need this presumptuous asshole looking after me. “Also, all drinks are on the house. This is our house specialty; don’t ask what’s in it. If you don’t like it let me know, and I’ll get you something else.” Well, who am I to turn down free liquor?
    “Thank you.” I give her a friendly smile and grip the glass in my hand before bringing it to my mouth.
    “Try to relax some. No one will mess with you so long as you stay right here. Most of them have already seen Mr. Lewis with his hands on you, so if they value their lives, they’ll stay away.” How nice! Just what I don’t need is Mr. Domineering thinking I am some piece of property he now possesses.
    “Thank you, but I think I can handle myself,” I say, giving her more attitude than I intend.
    “If you say so,” is the only response I get from her as she walks away to go tend to the customers. These people are really starting to grate on my nerves. Maybe I need this drink after all.
    This is probably one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. It’s some kind of tropical concoction with just a hint of coconut. To me, that spells heaven. You can tell there’s alcohol in it but it’s very subtle which is both good and bad. Thankfully no one has bothered me, but I can still feel several pairs of eyes on me. I’m too scared to even look around, and I definitely don’t want to give any of these poor saps the wrong impression around here. Like I told Amber, I can handle myself. And I don’t usually scare easily. But I’m in a new place and all of my senses are on high alert. Once I’ve finished with the first drink, I signal for her to bring me another. I might as well enjoy myself.
    “You may want to slow yourself down there, hon, it may not taste like it but these are pretty powerful.” Amber nods toward my drink.
    “Are you kidding? I can’t even taste the alcohol or feel any of the effects,” I tell her as I hand her my glass.
    “Consider yourself warned!” And there’s that smirk of hers again.
    “Will do,” I say and down half of the glass she just placed right in front of me. She just walks away laughing and shaking her head.
    Three glasses down and I have to go pee. There is no way I can hold it in any longer. Only I have no idea where to find a bathroom in a place like this? I guess there is no time like the present to find out. I go to stand but suddenly the world starts to spin. I don’t feel drunk, well not exactly. I feel extremely dizzy and like I’m about to be sick. I remember thinking what was in those drinks right before my entire world went black.

Chapter 4
    Ah man. What the hell happened last night? I feel like shit, and I seriously have to pee. With my eyes still half closed I get out of bed. My head is spinning, but I really need to pee so I fight through the dizziness and head straight for the bathroom. I take a few steps and then stop; wait a minute… This place does not look or feel right. This bathroom is massive and painted a dark gray. There’s a single sink with a glass bowl and chrome spout sitting to the left of the room, an old-fashioned bear claw tub sitting to the right, and an all glass stand-up shower in the far corner. I begin to panic as the events from last night
