I surveyed the whole crowd from where I was standing on the second floor of the La Vida club, a famous brothel frequented by men of high social status who are looking for high-class prostitutes, escorts and the highlight of them all-the virgins.
I was looking down, my hands are gripping the icy-cold railings while my other hand held a wine glass which contained my favorite drink, Teso La Monja, a famous brand of wine imported from Spain.
I am observing the place and looking for someone among the throng of men seated on the high chairs worthy of myself. I'm searching for someone different other than these men who shamelessly lust at me.
Not that I'm complaining. If I were to be asked, I couldn’t find anything from these men that surround me. All of them are filthy rich. CEOs, politicians, athletes, name any rich guy and you will definitely find him here.
When it comes to physical appearance, you cannot ask for anything from them. Recently, a famous model from the Middle East who was dubbed as the most handsome in the world has personally came here to bid for me. He was deported from his country because people especially the female population cannot concentrate every time they see him. He even bid me a million dollars but I turned down his offer only because I did not feel anything for him.
For my current position now, feelings and emotions should be the least of my concern but I am Femella Alcantara, the queen of all the "nymphs" as they all call us. Just like how the great Zeus desire these Greek creatures, so does these men below me will do anything, bet anything to get a taste of us as if we are just products in a market on sale.
If others were selling their grit and brain prowess, I chose to market myself, my body in short. Some boast their skills in academic fields but here, we go down and show these guys our bed skills. We hold them in the palm of our hands and play at them. Every moan, gasp and cry of pleasure is music to our ears.
I have all the options in the world. No one can force me to give myself to anyone unless I find him worthy. One of the perks of bearing this surname.
"What are you doing here, pretty? The bidding will about to start in an hour from now and yet you are still not fully dressed,” said the voice on my back. The owner of the voice stood next to me and took the wine goblet from my hand.
I snatched back the glass away from his hand and drank all the liquid in it. My eyes went back to the men below. "Please let me be, Chino. You know me. It has been like some sort of ritual to me. I always do this in every auction."
"Are you still looking for him? My, my dear Femella. When will you stop all this nonsense? You are restricting yourself from tasting all these delicious men with big and equally delectable dicks for what? For your stupid superstitious beliefs? Oh please! It’s just absurd. You are absurd.” His long and colorful newly-painted nails flicked in the air.
"I know. I know my dear. I know I'm pathetic. You don't have to stress it because I myself is aware of it. But Chino, I can smell it in the air. I know he is definitely coming for me. I can smell him. Just another fraction of waiting and I will finally meet the man who deserves my freshness and tightness." I paired it up with a seductive laugh to make it more convincing.
I saw him rolled his eyes at me. "Whatever. It’s your life. I don’t care anymore if one day, your coochie stops producing mayonnaise. It’s all on you. I warned you already. You can’t possibly put the blame on me when that time comes.”
I heartily laughed at what he said. "Don’t worry. I am a duly member of my beloved girl scout community. I always bring something in case my rebellious pussy starts to act up. And besides, I am a very resourceful and creative individual. And I still have my saliva in case you forgot!"
We both laughed in unison and playfully shook our hands together.
"You’re so witty, Femella! You are really something. Had I not known that you have never been kissed and never been touched, no one will believe that you are as fresh as a freshly-caught fish in the sea. You do not speak like a typical inexperienced virgin!"
"Ah, stop it! There you go with your double standards again! Do you mean to say that there are sets of things that are expected for you to say if you are a virgin? Do you really have to act like a very gentle woman? Do I have to wear a specific type of clothing to prove that I am really one? And what's with that thinking? Do they think that all virgins are as demure and slow-witted who doesn’t know how to use the Internet? Girl, stop saying that please! Don’t put our federation in shame!” I exclaimed.
"I know, alright? You are too reactive. Okay, okay. I’m sorry. You are now the epitome of a modern woman, the woman of the world," he surrendered.
"Uh-uh. You forgot something."
"What?"
"I'm not just a woman of the world. In fact, I call myself a hooker of the world."
"And care to tell me why?"
I looked at the grand chandelier hanging on the ceiling that is shining because of its own blinding embellishments coming from the big expensive precious stones that are designed around it. The lights from the big circular bulb on each of the sides of the building also cast a glow on it."Because life fucks me big time," I muttered softly."Ay! Holy guacamole cow! Femella! Here comes the man that will tear away all of my collection of Victoria's Secret panty! Girl, look at him!" said Chino who I doubt if what I said registered to him. He did not look at me because he was so busy gawking at the guy who is meters away from us.Chino seemed like hyperventilating because of his muffled shouts while moving his body in a very awkward manner. His hand is on his mouth while stomping his feet on the floor. I just rolled my eyes at his sight.Here comes the most difficult and arrogant
I glanced back to the balcony part of the club where Femella was standing earlier. I still caught the sight of her sexy back before she completely disappeared into the darkness. I bet she's getting ready for the bidding later.I drank the liquor in my glass in one gulp. Here comes this very familiar feeling again every time I see Femella lingering around. The emotion is too strong I am certain that I have never felt this way to other women. Not until I saw her one day sitting inside one of the glasses looking like a broken doll in her signature stoic cold face. It's precisely why I bid for her that night. She instantly caught my attention like no other people in my life has ever done. The feeling of longing, sadness, and nostalgia hovered around me when I caught a glimpse of her face.And why does she make me feel so warm inside? As if I can only feel this weird emotion whenever she’s around. If only she accepted my offer, then I
I tugged at the helm of my see-through silver nightgown as I surveyed myself in the full-length mirror inside the exclusive room in the club that is intended for me. I look majestic with the way the flimsy material of the night slip hugged my curves in the right proportion.I let my black hair down to cover my whole exposed back. The gown is a backless transparent halter-styled one and I'm not wearing any bra inside so anyone can have a free viewing of my perky nipples beneath the gown which leaves nothing to the imagination of everyone. My breasts were in full view down to my waist and hips all and all the way down to my creamy thighs. I'm wearing a red lacy panty just enough to cover my femininity which is something my gown which reached my ankle failed to do. I put on a strappy black sandals and as always, I'm good to go.I reached for the black coat in the dresser and pulled it on me. I went in front of the vanity mirror and
I straightened my back and arranged the hem of my gown to hide the overexposure of my skin though there is really nothing to hide given its cut and style. I just did it out of nowhere.I put on the mask of the clown and waited for the hunters. Here they go with their bloated ego again. These men hunt down a prey and then take it down as if it's the game of chase between a cat and a mouse. They are deliberately there with their proud muscled chest peering us down using their blank cheques.A second later, I saw the first batch of men approaching us as if we were just pretty things inside a beautifully-crafted glass cages. Some are holding a glass of wine and a cigarette on their mouth. Some are walking around with their hands inside their pants and their piercing eyes on us.I caught the eyes of a man in his early-thirties. I studied his appearance. He's handsome. He's not like the other men in his ranks in te
Fast cars, fast women, fast life. This is the kind of life I've been living since time immemorial. At the age of 27 years old, I pretty got everything money can buy. I got houses, cars, condos, properties here and abroad, yachts and other material things. Name a flashy thing, I have it. I also have expanded my chains of hotels in every part of the country and in other parts of Asian countries. I am also planning to put up branches in Europe. It's a joint program with another Philippine-owned company. I need them because it takes a great maneuver to penetrate their market. The competition there is very tight and upscale. There are more competitors there than here."Mr. Fuentebella, here's your car key." The man who approached me earlier handed me back my keys. I accepted it and put them in my pockets."Thanks."I turned around towards the stairs that leads to the way out of the ground floor of the club. Ah, so much
"I need the money as soon as possible if you want the investigation to start now."I glanced at Dave from my cup of espresso. The man is leaning back on the collapsible chair outside a famous cafe while looking at his phone. Passers-by cannot help but throw us a glance from time to time. I can't blame them. We are quite an eye-catching pair.Dave is wearing an old English-style outfit. He looked as dapper as an Englishman with his Victorian-styled hat, double breasted jacket and overcoat made in leather. He finished the countenance with his cane and dark brown spectacles on his head. I on the other hand is screaming in colors. I'm literally in neons. My shirt is neon pink with a neon green scribble on the center paired with a striped yellow and red neon pajamas."How much?"He spared a look at me from his concentration on whatever he is reading from his cellphone. "One million."It's a good thing that I just put down the coffee on the table a
I stood up from my swivel chair and went to the mini bar in my office. I needed a drink. Five hours of sitting and getting down to business without a taste of my favorite cognac Camus Cuvee 5.150 is not giving me even an ounce of pleasure.I forgot to bring one in the middle of an online meeting with our European counterparts which lasted for almost three hours. I couldn't leave the forum even just for a second because of succeeding calls from the consultants in Japan. I was planning to take the famous capsule hotel to the Philippines and Japan being the pioneer of this is the perfect place to start. Capsule hotel or pod hotel offers cheap overnight accommodation for guests and tourists who cannot afford for expensive hotels. The room is small hence the name capsule.I know that the idea has been pitched in from left and right but I wanted to give it a bit of a twist. I'll make it into a more culturally inclusive concept to suit the taste of
Jason and I were just talking inside the glass cubicle in the first few minutes when the bidding resumed. The boss was not on sight and her assistant took charge. As expected, Mr. Samontino bid for me but as we had planned, I chose Jason. The old man was furious and demanded for the boss' presence but was instead escorted outside the establishment. I felt like a heavy object was lifted from my heart when I saw them dragging the old man away. Serves him right. I wouldn't want to be touched by him. Ever.My eyes went back to Jason who was talking about how his brother got insecure when he told him about our truce. I shook my head tentatively. Males are indeed really simple beings."Where would you wanna go after here? Do you want to be in my condo, yacht or do you want to be kinky and do it in my new car? What do you think, Fem?" His eyes were laced with lust and desire.I rolled my eyes at the obvious exciteme
I'm already bathing in my own sweat and my dress has been wet already but I don't care. All I want is to take out everything I ate this afternoon. I clung to the toilet bowl and for the last time vomited. I sat on the bathroom floor while clinging to the bowl.I cried in extreme frustration. Is it really this hard to be pregnant?I heard someone open the door and enter. I did not move. I just kept crying. Maverick sat down beside me and wiped my face with a towel. He also flushed all of my vomit down."Feeling better?" He rubbed my back.I nodded. "A little."He caressed my growing belly. “You guys are really torturing mommy. Behave children. Don't make it harder for mommy, okay? ”I glared at Maverick. He always talk to my stomach every day since we came from the doctor days ago. Maverick shouted with happiness upon hearing it. I was moved to tears by mixed emotions. I'm happy and at the same time scared about this new chapter of my life.I remembered being
I opened my eyes and looked around. Darkness immediately dawned on me and sadness immediately enveloped me. I moved to the other side of the bed in case Maverick was there. I touched a hot and hard flesh moaning. I heaved out a sigh of relief. So what happened earlier is all true. I’m not delusional or just dreaming. Maverick is really here by my side.I opened the lamp shade before crawling to lie back next to the sleeping man. I crouched under the blanket and propped my elbow on the pillow. I leaned my head on my palm and caressed Maverick's chest. He automatically squeezed my waist as he sank into my chest."Hmm," he muttered. He also put his leg on my thigh so I can't move any further from him. I pushed his lower torso away and adjusted my body so I don't get crushed by his immense weight. My bed is just enough for the two of us in terms of space but I just don't know if it won't give up especially if Maverick thinks of railing me again.I co
I followed Femella outside. She's wiping away her tears. I hugged her from behind and planted a kiss on her exposed shoulder. She shrugged me off but I did not attempt to leave."No one is playing tricks on you, sweetheart. What I told you is true."She sniffed. "You should go now, Maverick. We're done. We're done so why are you still here looking for me?"I held her to face me and touched her swollen eye."It's true that I respect your decision to leave me. So now, I'm going to ask you for a favor to respect me for my decision to come back for you. Let's stop torturing ourselves, shall we?"I led her to sit on the first rung of the stairs and took her hands."I don't like being indebted to anyone. It's bad for business. So I have to bring you back into my life so I don't owe anything to your weird friend."She looks at me with her puffy red eyes, red cheeks, and red nose that I can't help but dip a kiss
It's crazy to force yourself to forget the person who reminds you of everything you do. I would wake up in the morning on the other side of the bed thinking that Maverick was there and sound asleep.I would cook a meal then would just stare at the thin air while contemplating his absence. Before I knew it, I needed to make another breakfast because my food was already burning.I'll eat alone, sleep alone, and cry alone. I have experienced being alone for a long time but I was not as sad as I am now. I felt like I lost a part of myself and I can only be happy and content if I take it back.It's been over a month now but I'm not coping well. The loneliness I feel only gets worse.Adding to the emptiness I experience is living here in the place where Maverick and I first met. Everything in this place reminds me of him. When I go to the plaza and to the proper town, he is always the one I remember, especially when I choose to spend the whole day by th
"Anything," I answered right away.Her face became serious. "Take her away from her misery. Please. I hope you can do what I can't do. I thought that after completing her mission, she would let herself be happy but she still thinks she doesn't deserve to be loved." She looked me in the eyes. "Please save her, Fuentebella. Let her realize that she can never be happy without you, please. If you do that, you have paid off your debt." Something stirred inside me at the thought of Femella crying in her solitude. I nodded at Vida."I won't promise anything. Most of all, I'll still respect what she wants. Now, I want her location.""Sta. Barbara."I was momentarily surprised upon hearing that place. Sta. Barbara. Something familiar clicked inside me at the mention of the place."I'm positive you'll get her again. You must not forget that she chose to go back to the place where you two first met." She bent over to pick up the
"Why did you come back? Man, you should have stayed there forever in your cave. It was so much fun here when you were gone."I threw a crumpled paper at Luther, who was sitting on the edge of the desk and tampering with the stacked papers."You're just happy because you're free to flirt with my secretary. I heard from Ivan that you're starting your dark plan. I'm warning you, man. Leave Christine alone. She's like my sister. Don't line her up with your women. "I signed the finalized design for the capsule hotel that Luther and I would be building."Woah! You're really a different person now, man. You seem to be a saint now. Looks like Femella did something good to you other than break your heart."My hand stopped on its own at the mention of the woman's name. Our separation still hurts me until now. I sighed and diverted the conversation."It looks like we're going to have a problem with the acquisition of some properties. A few
"Femella, are you really sure with your decision? Maybe we can change it? Is there nothing to lose?" the surprised Chino asked when he heard what I told Vida that I was leaving this afternoon. He had just come out of the toilet and was in the midst of washing his hands. There were still residues of foam in his hand."I'm sure about it, Chino. My time has come to retire. You're alone again to fantasize about yummy abs at the club." I regretted saying it then looked at Vida who was sitting on the floor like me.I called them to say goodbye properly. Chino was also in his apartment so I told him to stay here. I want to personally say goodbye to the man who made my time at La Vida fun and tolerable.I had already packed up my bags ready to leave. My suitcases are already in the trunk of my old car. I really just went here to say goodbye."Or maybe Adam's descendants won't even look at me anymore. We know they're just trying to pay
I looked up from the papers I'm reading when I heard a knock on the door. I saw Christine reluctantly standing in the doorway. I didn't even realize she's been there the whole time."What is it Christine?" I said before immediately returning the focus to what I was doing."Ahm sir, can I go home now? I already asked for your permission earlier so that I'll be out by nine."I glanced at the watch. I didn’t even notice the passage of time."Go ahead. Just make sure to submit first thing in the morning, the minutes of the meeting with Mr. Kazuki." I picked up the mug of coffee while I'm still busy reading but I put it down when I realized it's empty. I was about to get up to make another cup but Christine immediately approached me and took the mug."I'll do it sir."I just nodded.She laid the steaming coffee on the table minutes after."Thank you," I said after taking a sip. "You may go.""Ahm s
"Femella ..."I bit my lip and closed my eyes when I heard the baritone voice behind me. I want to stand up and greet him with an eager hug. I also endured a week of not seeing him or hearing his voice. I've been dying to see him and be close to him like what we used to be but everything's changed now. The one he truly loves is back so I have no more space in their lives.I slowly stood in front of Maverick whose face was now full of longing."Fuentebella, I'm glad you're here. You may take a seat."His face got confused with the tone I used. I uttered the words so coldly and without any emotion like we did not know each other.It was hard for him to sit in the chair and just stare at me. I went back to sitting and took the wine glass and brought it to my mouth. The alcohol helped a little to calm the nerves in my body.I carefully set the glass down on the table and looked around the elegant restaur
