I'm in Love With a Stripper
Because I had been working there first and I had to take care of myself,” she said firmly.
    “ No you don’t because I can take care of you. Also, I’m loaded if you haven’t noticed,” Royce replied arrogantly.
    Alena smiled, “You know you are stubborn… but you’re also really sweet when you want to be.”
    Royce moved closer and gently ran his fingertips over the side of her face.
    “ You know I can be even sweeter,” he replied before pulling her in for a kiss.
    The kiss was soft at first but he deepened the kiss to prolong it. He slipped his tongue into her mouth exploring it a little bit.
    They continued to kiss before Royce pulled away and took a deep breath. Alena’s cheeks turned a crimson color.
    “ You know Alena, you are extremely beautiful but when you blush like that you are even more beautiful,” he grinned as she continued to blush even more.
    “ So, I was thinking Friday night we could go out,” he remarked.
    “ Where do you want to go?” Alena replied.
    “ Maybe dinner somewhere nice?” Royce replied.
    Alena smiled, “Yeah, sure.”
    “ I want you to go buy something nice to wear tomorrow,” Royce said.
    “ Are you sure?” she asked.
    “ Yeah, I’m going to start dragging you with me when I have to go to dinner with clients. Go ahead and get a few things,” he replied unconcerned.
    Alena looked up at him with uncertainty in her eyes.
    “You always know how to make those boring dinners fun,” he added sensing her hesitation.
    “ OK, I’ll go tomorrow afternoon,” Alena replied.
    “Hmm…” Royce said while pulling Alena closer.
    “ You know, if you’re going to be sleeping in the bed with me all the time I think I might need something…” he began.
    Alena blushed, “Royce...”
    “ I think I might need another kiss,” he grinned.
    Royce pulled Alena in for another kiss.
    It was even longer than the first kiss and the passion quickly escalated.
    Alena pulled back.
    “ Maybe we should go to sleep,” she replied gently.
    Royce lightly massaged Alena’s back.
    “ Oh come on… let’s stay up a few more minutes,” he grinned.
    Royce sat up and pulled Alena onto his lap. They continued kissing but at a slower pace. Royce ran his fingers through Alena’s long, soft hair then leisurely down her back. He felt her smooth, supple skin and the silkiness of her night gown.
    Royce pulled away, “Oi, I’ve got to take a shower.”
    “ Like a cold shower,” Royce murmured as he got up.
    He made his way to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
    Alena sighed and tried to get comfortable in Royce’s bed. She closed her eyes but found it difficult to sleep without Royce next to her.
    Royce finished showering and brushed his teeth. He came back in and laid down next to Alena.
    “ Royce?” Alena said.
    “ You’re still up?” he replied.
    “ Yeah… It’s hard to sleep without you next to me,” she stated.
    Royce wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him.
    “ Alena?” he said softly.
    “ Hm?” she replied.
    “ I want to know what happened that night with Blake,” he stated.
    Alena sat up, “Are you sure?”
    “ Yeah, come on just tell me,” he replied.
    “ That night… Well, that night was different from most nights,” she began.
    “ How so?” Royce questioned.
    “ Aaron wanted me and another girl named Lisa to go to the VIP room to take care of some clients,” Alena paused and took a deep breath before continuing. “Aaron said be extremely lenient with them and it was whatever they wanted. When I went in, there was Blake, sitting there and grinning like a fool.”
    “ What about the other girl? Where was she?” he questioned.
    “ She went off with another client who from first seeing her was completely in awe. I’m not sure what happened but I ended up alone with Blake,” Alena stated.
    Royce nodded.
    Alena continued, “He said that unless we worked out some sort of arrangement he would tell you about where I worked.”
    Anger quickly
