smile appears on her face. She disappears with him, taking the silent girl with her and finally, I’m alone with Natasha.
“What the fuck?” I ask and look at myself in the mirror. I don’t feel like me.
“You need to prepare yourself.” Natasha advises. “Be on your best behaviour, no matter what happens. There’s going to be a lot of men out there and they will all want you. They will be drunk, say shit to you and touch you. Let them do what they want and make them happy. If they’re happy, Demon is happy and that means you don’t get a punishment. They get short tempered and there might be a fight or two but stay calm and do what you got to do. Are you hearing me, Lauren?” I don’t say anything, I just nod. “Ok,” Natasha takes a deep breath to compose herself. “Just go with it and ignore your better judgement.”
A few seconds later, Demon returns and he grins widely when he sees Natasha and me waiting for him. Chopper reappears with Tracy and I see the anger in Demon’s eyes. Gladly that anger is not aimed at me. Demon embraces me and then Natasha, praising us. “Girls, you look delicious.”
I don’t like the fact that I am being described as ‘delicious’. I stay quiet, smile at him and follow as he leads us to the main event. My legs are shaking so much I think I might fall and my heart is beating so hard I’m afraid that it’s going to rip out of my chest.
Chapter 10
As we follow Demon, getting closer and closer to the loud music, Natasha comes from behind and walks alongside me. Natasha gives me a slight smile and links hands, giving me that little bit of comfort before I’m thrown into the unknown. She lets go and walks in front of me, and I’m confused as to why she has traded places with me until we enter the dark room and I’m surrounded by loud, vibrating music and men’s voices. By the sound of it, there are a lot of men here. I would not have liked to walk into this room right behind Demon, I see men lurking at Natasha and then at me. I use Natasha to hide behind, I love this woman even more for what she has done for me. Unfortunately it doesn’t last for too long because Demon steps back and wraps an arm around us both, walking in the middle of us as if we’re his trophies. Men stare and I’m not saying I’m a stranger to attention from the opposite sex, but in this room and in this stupid outfit it’s a lot different. I’m essentially on show for these men, an advert for sex and if you want me you can have me, no objections.
“Now girls,” Demon speaks to us. “You’re here to give these men a great night and that means they’re in charge. I don’t want any trouble, if I hear anything I won’t be a happy man and if I’m not happy you won’t be.”
I hear the threat and nod, I know my duties here and even though I hate every second spent here I don’t want to be tortured tomorrow because I didn’t open my legs for a man tonight. That may be fucked up, but right now that’s the way it is for me. If what I watched last night of Natasha’s time with the club members, and that wasn’t torture, then I dread to think what is and I don’t intend to find out.
Demon leaves us to it and is welcomed by many men at the bar. He’s treated like a god around here.
“Stick with me.” Natasha orders and as she slowly struts through the crowd, I follow. Men reach out and touch us as we pass. I feel like I’m a piece of meat on sale at a freaking market by the way they hungrily stare.
The silent girl from the pamper room with Tracy appears and quickly passes Natasha two small glasses. I look to Natasha who motions for me to follow. I look around to see the girl but as quickly as she arrived, she’s gone. I quickly walk behind Natasha and when we round a corner she faces me, thrusting the glass in my face. “Drink.”
“What is it?” I ask.
“Liquid courage.” She tips her head back, swallowing what I’m guessing is alcohol. The booming laughter
