ALVIRA’S POV
I shivered as the evenings cool breeze chilled my bare arms. I was going to work in a night club, for the first time in my life. This was would even be my first time of being in a nightclub, but I really needed the money, my friend – the only person I had in the world, Clarissa, was sick, and I needed money for her treatment. She had fought me over going to work at a night club, not minding that she was the one that was sick, and she was the one that needed the money. According to her, the nightclub was no place for an innocent girl like me. But, heaven knows I had no other choice other than being a stripper. However, age had helped me dress. Helping me strap my red lacy push up bra that made my boobs jut out in a way that really embarrassed me, making me blush. I was wearing a very short skirt, and fishnet garters that even made me feel more exposed, yet Clarissa had taken one look at me, and said I still looked ‘too innocent’ My work at the club, as the manager explained, was just to stand around, and convince the men to buy more drinks. I could already feel my emotions close to skyrocketing, and yet another hand slapped my butt, squeezing it, and muttering something in passing. Experiencing this finally made me lost my grip over my emotions as tears flowed freely down my cheek, soaking my lashes, and causing a ruin on my makeup. I felt alone, exposed and vulnerable at point. As I bit down hard on my lower lip, feeling a tremble all over my body from the cold. Realizing I was indeed very foolish to think I could handle this job. I mean I could I could face anything despite my traumatic experience in life but I guess this isn’t for me. "And why are you crying my lovely?” I felt a masculine, and yet gentle hand lift my chin, even as the scent of his powerful cologne hypnotized me. I lifted up my eyes, only to find myself looking into the most formidable jet black eyes I had ever seen before. Unable to keep looking, I looked away from his eyes, only to find myself looking at the rest of him. I sucked in a breath as my pulse started racing, and this time, when I trembled, it was not because of the cold. It was because of the magnetic power of this man. Gosh! He was the most handsome man I had ever seen, but there was a power he exuded that went beyond looks. He looked like everything in the club belonged to him – including me. I suppose but damn him though, he doesn’t own me, no one does. But my heart thudded against my chest at that realization. The man smiled, a little upward curve of his lips, but it transformed his face from dangerously ruthless, to ruthlessly sexy. I felt myself suck in another breath, and then, he drew me to himself – forcefully, so that my soft pliant body collided against his rock hard body, and then, I couldn’t think again, as his lips crushed against mine. I only had a few seconds to panic about this being the first time a man kissed me, when he started his experienced onslaught on my lips. I whimpered and unconsciously drew nearer to him as he devoured my mouth with a ruthlessness that bordered on cruelty. His teeth nibbled at my bottom lip, and when a whimper that ended in a moan escaped my tortured lips, he pulled my head even closer, and slipped his tongue into my mouth. As much as this made me feel somewhat, it felt so damn good. I whimpered again, from the acute pleasure his kisses brought, so intense, I was sure it was pain, and I felt my body melt completely against his. He yanked my head away from his then, pulling my hair, not gently, and making me whimper again in pain. The man angled my head, so that once again, I was looking into his powerful, unusual black eyes. For some unknown reason, I felt tears well up in my eyes again and spill over, but this man seemed to be enjoying my tears. His lips curved up in another smile that made him look even more dangerous. My heart skipped several beats – what had I gotten myself into!” "My my. What do we have here! This is a real beauty Carter. Where have you been hiding her.” Carter. His name was Carter. My mind registered the name, even as my heart skipped several beats. I knew his name would forever live in my head, just as I knew my lips would forever remember his kisses. Without realizing what I was doing, I lifted my hand and brushed the knuckles against my bottom lip as I turned my gaze to find out who had spoken. My lips felt raw, tender, and slightly bruised from ruthless kisses. The man who had spoken looked equally rich and powerful. He was dressed in expensive clothes, but he could not take my mind off Carter. I felt my heartbeat quicken in fear – why was my body reacting this way to someone I did not know. "I would like to see this one take it all off – how much do you guys even charge for a strip tease?” The man asked, and real fear slammed against my heart. I was not going to give any strip tease, or lap dance – not going to have sex with any body. I felt another tear slip from my left eye. I couldn’t do this. I was a virgin, had never even had a boyfriend, until today, I had never been kissed. Why were these men taking such am interest in me, instead of in the more experienced girls. "Why is she crying?” The man asked Carter. Carter shrugged. He was watching me intently as he replied. “Why don’t you ask her Larry.” "Well you own the place…” Larry shrugged, then suddenly, he drew me to himself, and crushed his lips to mine. I choked back a sob, as my soft hands fisted and beat against his chest. "Let me go p-please…” I whimpered. Larry let me go, but he seemed angry. “You were not begging Carter to let you go were you? You seemed to be enjoying his kisses –” he turned to Carter, “I’m holding out because it’s your nightclub, or else I’d drag this one to a nearby room and tear of her clothes.” "Please…” I could hear myself whimper. I hated the vulnerability in my voice. My eyes were not on Larry, they were focused on Carter, as my green eyes pleaded with his jet black ones. Somehow, I knew he had the power to save me – from whatever other man came by, he was the owner of the place after all. He had to be a billionaire, I knew owning even a small property in this expensive part of town could cost up to a billion, let alone such a big, expensive looking nightclub. The billionaire turned to face me now, dragging me to his side, a bit more gently. I could feel my body press against his powerful body, as his body heat warmed me till I was no longer trembling. "Offer the chick money Larry, if you want her to do anything for you. You of all people should know by now that the language of women is money.” Larry smiled. “One million dollars Little pet, and I want all your clothes off now.” Still pressed against the billionaire’s side, I shook my head shyly. Though I needed it, I didn’t want his money. The money the nightclub would pay at the end of the night was enough for me – and of course, I couldn’t possible strip for anyone. Larry looked angry now. “Well that’s all the money I’d offer for a whore” he said as he stormed off. The billionaire merely shook his head. “Maybe, this one is not a whore,”, he said softly to Larry’s retreating form. “I’ve tasted the innocence in her kisses.” "How did he even know that?” I wondered to myself. I guess he is an expert in women who are strippers, after all, it’s his night club. And to my surprise, the billionaire drew me into a warm hug, his big powerful body covering my tiny one, so that I felt warm, safe, covered. When he finally pulled away, his lips took mine again, in a kiss that was gentler this time, and yet again, something about how raw it was brought tears to my eyes. "What’s your name Love?” The billionaire asked in a gentle voice, but it was underlined with power. "Alvira.” I answered, again hating how tiny and vulnerable my voice sounded. He nodded. “I have some plans for you Alvira” grabbing my head again, and kissing me with a ruthlessness that hurt. His hands moved lower to cup my butt, pressing me more closely to him, as his mouth left mine to trail hot kisses down my face. When he bit the pulse on my throat, drawing a whimper from me, I gathered the last strength I had and fled. I kept running, without looking back, trying to out run the ruthless billionaire, to out run my pounding heart, and the memories that clawed at my throat, memories of powerful hands holding me still while I got forced.ALVIRA’S POVI could feel the tears fall freely now as I got home, despite the fact, I enjoyed everything that happened between Carter and I at the night club.But, the memories from three years ago came crashing in, harder, stronger. I had been outside, trying to get to my rundown home in an equally run down neighborhood quickly before the heavy rain that was brewing came pouring down, and I decided to go through an alley that was a short cut. I could still remember the sound of the rain, the smell of wet pavement, cigarettes, and dirt as powerful arms held me down, hurting me, violating my body. He had kissed me, and his mouth had tasted vile, making me feel like gaging, but I suppressed the urge to throw up. I needed my mouth to breathe, as my nostrils did not seem to get enough air. I shivered, then hugged myself as I finally got to my house. That had been three years ago, and in another neighborhood, another state – so why did I still remember that night so vividly immediate
CARTER’S POVThinking of the little stripper that took the other day, I took long drag while I smiled as I felt the immediate effect slamming against my brain. Life was indeed good. One of the blonds behind me – sherry, or something like that, snaked a hand across my shoulder, curving her thumb, and attempting to take a sniffer of my product. I smacked her hand, and laughed when she whelped."Sorry Sherry. Only good girls get this stuff. You have to prove yourself first.”I watched as a look of pain entered her eyes, and I got easily annoyed. These whores were the same. Always getting hurt for stupid reasons.The whore turned her eyes up to mine, batting her fake lashes. “I’m Sharon, not Sherry.”I hissed, getting annoyed. “Well Shay, I’m already bored with you, leave my mansion now.”Tears immediately filled the whore’s eyes as I called my guards to throw her out. They didn’t even let her put on her clothes, and I had to laugh as I watched them throw her out naked – then I also asked
CARTER’S POVGetting to the club, I downed a shot of whiskey as I thought endlessly of my father’s word to me. Then all of a sudden, I noticed Alvira was no where to be found.For no reason, I became worried and began searching for her with a scattered gaze."Where is the new stripper girl?” I asked one of the stripper lady in nude."I don’t know who you speak of Mr. Carter,” she responded and with a disdain look, I permitted her to leave without a word to her.It’s rather stranger getting worried about a common stripper girl but something about her seem different.Was it her first time doing this job?Her lips tasted so innocent and without experience.All of these thoughts kept raging in my head. But then I remembered my father’s words to me."Isn’t this a blessings in disguise?” I murmured silently, lost in my thoughts. I mean, my father had asked me to find an innocent, vulnerable girl, make her love me, and then break her heart brutally.Making little Alvira my lab rat in gettin
ALVIRA'S POVI felt the slight shivers that racked my body begin to increase. I tried to stop my teeth from chattering together by biting down hard at my lower lip till I felt blood trickled down my lip.Tears filled my eyes. I was such a weirdo. Carter was all gentleness now, smiling at me, and asking polite little questions, but I could hardly answer him. No matter how much I tried to, my teeth could not just stop. He reached out a hand gently and took mine that was balled in a tight fist. "Alvira look at me,” he commanded, but there was a gentleness in his voice. Unwittingly, I found myself staring into his intimidating jet-black eyes."Do you want me to hold you?” He asked, and if the offer was unusual, the look in his eyes showed he knew what I needed, even before I needed it.Right now, I did need a hug badly, but I was afraid of how my body would react to his if I let him hold me again. I found myself nodding, against my better judgement.I expected Carter to get up, and w
CARTER’S POV I drew in a breath as I heard my phone ring, and my father’s name appear on the screen. I was surprised to notice I didn’t look forward to talking to him. As much as I hated my father, I had always enjoyed talking with him, his conversations proved challenging. I didn’t care to examine the reason why I did not want to speak with him today, but it probably had something to do with damaging the innocence that shone through a certain per of green eyes. It was easy, just too easy, and because of how easy it was, I felt something I had never felt before, guilt. "You’ve done some things I’m proud of Carter.” My father started as soon as I picked the call. In the past, I would have been thrilled to hear he was proud of me, but now, I was starting not to care. "You found just the right girl. What’s her name again – Alexa – Alina?” "Alvira.” I snapped, trying my best to figure out what my father was playing at before he struck his blow. I always failed at that. Somehow, M
ALVIRA's povI never comprehended how rapidly someone could infiltrate every aspect of your existence, weaving themselves into your every thought, emotion, and pulse. Carter did that to me, and to this day, I can not determine if it was magic or madness. Whether by his side or not, his influence dominated every moment, immersing me in a realm I had never envisioned. Despite the excitement, there was a subtle sense of unease present. It was an unspoken heaviness that felt like a looming storm.The initial indication of that stress appeared on a peaceful evening stroll. We had recently departed from a charming small eatery, the type that seemed secluded, secure. Carter and I strolled next to each other down a street bordered by trees, his hand occasionally brushing against mine. He appeared deeply engrossed in his thoughts, his typical calm attitude now replaced by a sense of restraint, as if he was concealing a feeling unique to him.Suddenly, he inquired, "Have you ever pondered on
CARTER's povIt was always there, her, Alvira, in my head, occupying my thoughts. She always slipped in without my knowledge, staying longer than I had expected. But I pushed the thoughts of that away, telling myself that it was because I was on a mission with her that was why I was always thinking of her. Her green eyes, innocent and expressive, bothered me.I remembered how I felt everything I looked into those eyes. They were always innocent, like a window into something pure, and something that would soon be broken. The uncertainty drew me in, there was the thrill of watching as she broke bit by bit in my hands, on her knees at my mercy, completely used. Somehow, that stirred something deep and unexpected within me.As our last meeting played in my mind, I reached for my coffee. I took a sip of the dark bitter liquid as my mind wandered to how she had quickly opened up to me, seeking comfort while contemplating whether to trust me or not. It was amusing that she thought that s
