Chapter 01

“Now, you owe me,” the seductive man whispered in Lina's ear, applying light kisses there. She held on to his arm to keep herself from collapsing.

“What do you want?” She asked, unable to think straight.

          “You. Indefinitely.”

*MINUTES BEFORE*

“Damn, Lina...” Maddie said, with her eyes wide open. Lina turned around and saw Noah walking in with a skinny blonde. Lina moved her body, facing away from the couple.

“Screw him!” Lina said quietly, drinking some more of her Moscow Mule.

“He's an asshole...” Maddie shook her head negatively while looking disapprovingly at Noah and his girlfriend.

Lina continued to drink. She was already on the third mug, when Maddie grabbed her arm, indicating with her head that it was enough.

“Maddie, tell me the truth... Am I that unattractive?”

“Oh, for God’s sake, Lina! You're beautiful, you just don't dress like all those other girls. And you also don’t behave like them,” Maddie patted Lina on the back.

“You only say that because you're my friend,” Lina was clearly drunk.  Maddie rolled her eyes.

“No, love. It is the truth. You're much prettier than that little thing over there. But she has something that you don't, in fact. Well, two things.”

Lina looked at her friend, her lips trembling.

“And what would those things be?”

“Lack of shame on her face and a hyper-rich father, who can help Noah achieve what he wants so much: fame and money.”

Lina wrinkled her nose and then pouted.

“If I need money to keep a man, then I will die single.”

“Come on, babe. Let's go.”

They stayed there for a few more minutes and, as their backs were turned, they didn't notice how Noah kept glancing at Lina. He liked her appearance and, clearly, her body. He thought she was beautiful, as well as hot, even with the baggy and too good-two-shoes clothes she normally wore. However, that night she dressed very differently.

The day before, Lina caught him kissing Olivia, in front of everyone at college. Olivia —not Oli nor any nickname— wasn't the type to be a mistress or anybody’s second choice, so she demanded that he demonstrate their relationship in public. Lina saw it and that was the end of the story.

Noah even tried to convince Lina that they could continue to see each other in hiding. She, as expected, refused it and even gave him a nice slap on the face.

Now, there she was, sitting with that friend Noah hated so much, looking all pretty. Unlike how she normally dressed, Lina was wearing a black dress that was tighter to her body, but it wasn't vulgar. However, that was enough to show off her physical attributes. When she stood up, minutes after his arrival, he felt his pants getting tighter in the front. The thin waist showed off her wide hips and full breasts. She looked like a mermaid.

Lina had gotten up to go to the restroom. She was about to burst, and Maddie said she had to answer her phone at the back of the club, otherwise, her mother would throw a fit.  Mrs. Rachel didn't react very well when Maddie rejected or ignored more than two consecutive calls.

The line wasn't long, for which Lina was internally grateful. The restroom was incredibly clean, for a nightclub. She did what she had gone to do, washed her hands, took a look at herself in the mirror on the wall, and reapplied her lip tint that was in her bag. Lina didn't usually wear much makeup, and she was terrified of lipstick smudging. With lip tint, that didn't happen.

Before she left the restroom, Olivia entered and the two almost collided.

“Pay attention to where you're going, you ugly bitch!” No, Olivia wasn't blind and knew that Lina was far from being ugly, however, she felt the need to belittle the girl because she noticed Noah's looks at her.

“Sorry,” Lina said, not interested in starting a fight.

“Stay away from Noah!”

Olivia's angry tone made Lina turn to her. The girl's lips were painted, or rather half painted a very open red, and they were trembling with anger. Olivia's brown eyes were beautiful, but very apart from one another and didn't match the rest of her features at all.

“Make good use of him, he’s all yours,” Lina replied before she walked out the door. Olivia didn't go after her.

That was an expensive, chic nightclub. But, as Lina worked at another bar, she ended up winning tickets for that night.

‘Great timing,’ she thought and invited Maddie to join her. Even though she didn't really like that kind of environment, she wanted to go for a drink or two. And it would be free, due to the invitation she received.

Before she reached the stairs, Lina saw when a mysterious door opened. Anyone passing by would swear that that was the wall, not a door. Lina had already heard that that club had a super VIP session. Not even the richest were allowed to go there. Only those invited by someone who was part of that group were allowed entry.

First, some huge men in black came out. Then the world seemed to stop for her. She didn't know if it was the effect of the alcohol, but she saw a man who looked more like a god than a mortal. Tall, even taller than some of his security guards, short, dark hair, his jawline was extremely defined, from what she could see through the coat that covered him. She felt something hit her back. It was a drinking glass, empty, but still...

Olivia looked at Lina, mockingly, as she went down the stairs and went to stay close to her boyfriend. Noah didn't have any expression on, but he was on the attacker's side, holding her waist. For Lina, it was enough support for the blonde's misdeed. She then had an idea. Crazy, but she had it. She would get revenge on him. Starting by showing that she was, indeed, capable of seducing a man!

Lina ran to the group that had left through the mysterious door.

“Sir!” he didn't turn around and continued walking. One of the security guards put an arm in front of Lina's torso, to stop her.

“End of the line, miss,” the security guard said.

“Sir, please!” she tried again. “I have a proposal. A deal... I want to negotiate!”

The man stopped, still facing away from her. He turned his head back a little, just so he could speak over his shoulder.

“And what do you have to offer me?” he asked, and his voice was thick, hoarse, sensual. Lina, for the first time in her life, felt like she could reach an orgasm just by listening to someone talk.

“Ah...”

‘Damn! And what can I offer?’, she thought, biting her lip.

“Whatever you want!”

The man gave a sideways smile and Lina found that very sexy, even if she couldn't see it clearly!

“It's a very high price. What would the service be?’

She was confused...

‘High Price?’ she ignored the alarm going off in her head, indicating that she should apologize and get out of there immediately.

“I want a kiss.”
