A bit annoying. The author cannot differentiate between he’s and his, too and to, they/their/they’re.

Chapter 2
The airport is stacked with people, some leaving for holiday with their family and some visiting NY. I make my way to the check-in point. A kind elderly woman greets me. “Morning.” I hand her all the necessary papers and start loading all my luggage.“First time?”“Flying no but Vegas yes.”“Well, have fun, enjoy the flight” She smiles politely. Sweaty palms, sweaty palms. My nerves are killing me. With my heart beating out of my chest and my sweat running down my forehead I take my seat in the waiting area. A group of big bodybuilder guys with black-on-black suits and that black shades pass by surrounding someone.It must be him, who else has so many bodyguards? I try to peek through them when they come to a standstill but nothing. I stand on my chair to try and see over the monster of a guy. That's when he dropped something and one of the guys bent to pick it up. For an old guy he's not gross, he is handsome, if you are into sugar daddies. Grey hair, tall and well not chubby. Mor

The hotel is a glittering palace of opulence, it’s towering height is visible form miles away.Stepping through its grand crystal like doors, I’m greeted by a lobby of shimmering marble. A sparkling chandelier and plush velvet furnishing the place.“Holy cow.” Gasping for air as excitement flares up. "Good evening and welcome at the Four Queens, how may I be of assistance?" A friendly redhead woman greets me.“Hi” I huff still a bit star struck, "Miss Anderson, Lilly-Ann Anderson." I gaze around taking it all in.She starts typing. Not before long, she hands me my keys, smiles, and bids me farewell.**** I found my room in just a few minutes, fishing the key out I unlock the door, “WOW” a luxurious suite awaits me, with a huge bed that draws me in covered with it’s fine linens and comfortable pillows. I rushed to bed and fall face-first. I take my phone out and hit the call button."Hey, girl, how's Vegas?" Shane asks"Breath-taking." Overflowing with excitement, I kick off my shoe

Chapter 4
With suspicion rising and my curiosity clawing at me like a fierce cat, we hit the nightclubs owned by Lenkov. There is only three that I know of, Dragonfly, Club Cabana and The Red Ruby. I found nothing at Dragonfly or Club Cabana, but The Red Ruby is different from the other two, it’s more ‘fancy’, it’s a true spectacle to behold. The blazing neon lights of the club draw a never-ending stream of revelers to its door. The grand entrance of the place has a red carpet leading to the door and velvet ropes cordoning off the line of people waiting to get in. The doormen, dressed in a crisp black suits, stood guard like sentinels, checking IDs and maintaining order with practiced ease."Let's call it a night I don't think we'll be able to get in tonight." I let out a long sigh. Knowing this is the place I need to get into.Rosemary lets out a long tiresome yawn, "Yeah, we should come back tomorrow.""Okay, I'll call you, see you tomorrow then.” I call for a cab,"Okay, bye." She waves as

Chapter 6
The tiny piece of material is spread out on my bed. I am sitting on the chair ogling it with only my bathrobe on. My phone buzzes, it is Rayon calling. "Hello.""Hey, are you done yet?" "I can't wear this," I exclaim, nervously biting my nails "Ann, if you want the story, that's the only way in." I can hear him smirking on the other end of the phone. “Do you need me to help you get dressed?" He asks flirtatiously."No!!" I yell and jump out of the chair. "Okay then, you have thirty minutes before I come up there and dress you myself." He ends the call. I pull off my bath rope and let it drop to the floor as I glare at my new stripper uniform just. It is a mission to get into my disguise but I manage to pull it on after plundering onto the bed and yanking it. I slip on the black pantyhose and the heels that came with the dress. I ruffle my hair a bit and put on some makeup. Well, if I am doing this I might as well go all in. I glance at the mirror, if my mom saw me now, she would m

Chapter 7
As we walk into the dimly lit backstage area, the air is thick with the smell of hairspray and perfume. In the corner, a group of women huddle around a mirror, each applying their own makeup with deft strokes. Some are smudging on thick black eyeliner, while others focus on layering red lipstick.A woman in a glittering costume is bent over, lacing up her boots. Her fingers move quickly as she expertly looping and tying the strings. She looks up briefly, catching my eye with a knowing smile before returning her attention to the task at hand."My stage name is Candy. My real name is Florence." She smiles holding out a hand for me to take."Lilly-Ann, nice to meet you." I return her smile and add. “Tell me about Lorenzo?""Oh, well, his a mystery. All I know is that he owns this place." "No last name?" I ask, she just pulls her shoulders up. "Who cares about last names, his hot." She smirks elbowing me in my ribs.I cannot disagree with that, but why would Rayon think his auctioning wo

Chapter 8
I can not sleep. My mind keeps on replaying the events of tonight. It was a night filled with excitement and plenty of firsts for me, but something just doesn’t add up. Why would Lorenzo own a place, Rayon thinks is use to sell girls? Well, by the looks of the place and all the women there I would have thought so too, but then there is something Candy said that tells me otherwise.It is 3 am and still no shuteye. "Jeez!" I throw the blanket to the floor and make my way to my laptop.Googling the one and only Lorenzo. There is not a lot about him, just that his a nightclub owner and CEO of Green Seed Agro, GSA for short. No siblings and no kids. There is tons of business photos of him, shaking hands with big CEO of very wealthy and well known companies. Photos of his latest project, save the planet, seem to pull a lot of attention.I grab my notepad and jot down all the clubs he owns, Maybe I should pay them a visit as well,for research purposes only.A nice long shower is all I need

Chapter 9
I wish it was different between me and Rayon. My addiction, sad but true, I will never be able to tell him no and he knows it. This is why I am afraid of tonight. Stepping into new territories with him, the friend zone, or colleagues. I just need to play it safe and choose my outfit carefully.My small frame is accentuated by a pair of fitted jeans, which is hugging my curves in all the right places. To offset the casual look of my denim, I decide on a blouse that is as feminine as it is soft. The fabric flows around me, draping me in a gentle embrace, while the delicate lace accents the trimmed sleeves and neckline to add a touch of sophisticated charm. Happy with my choice, I stroll to the elevator, when my phone buzz."Hi, I'm on my way down."Okay, I'll wait for you then." Rayon ends the call.Checking myself in the elevator mirror before I exit. Get it together Lilly-Ann, this is NOT a date.Rayon stands at the door with his hands in his jean pocket, freshly shaved, and dressed i

Chapter 10
Rosemary is waiting at the door for us as the car comes to a stop. I am frozen in my seat. "Rayon," I whisper shaking my head and trying to fathom what he just said. "I just wanted you to know, I'm not expecting an answer or anything from you, Ann." He smiles, leaning closer to me, and placing a kiss on my cheek. “I’m not giving up on us.” He whisper before sliding out of the car. "Now, let's go enjoy ourselves." Opening my door for me and holding his arm for me to take, I hook in, as we walk to the door like nothing happened. "Annie!" Rosemary yells, waving us over, but frowns when she notices that I am on the arm of my ex. She glares at me and shakes her head disapproving. "Hi, Rose." He grins, and she gives him a once-off look before spinning on her heels. "Follow me." She pouts, handing me a VIP pass. "I don't think she likes me." Rayon whispers in my ear. "Yeah, I got the same message." I give him an apologetic smile as we enter the club. The pulsing bass of the music thunder
