Roxanne's eyes fluttered open, her head throbbing in time with the shrill ring of her phone. Sia's "Chandelier" blasted through the speaker, making her wince. She lay on a blanket on the floor, her apartment a mess around her. Wine bottles and junk food wrappers scattered everywhere.

As she sat up, her eyes fell on Cynthia, who lay asleep beside her, and, the vibrator laying carelessly next to her. Their clothes were scattered around them, and realisation hits her. Roxanne's face flushed as she remembered the events of the previous night.

But before she could recall everything, her phone rang again. She picked it up, her heart racing as she saw her aunt's name on the screen.

"Roxanne! Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you," her aunt's panicked voice came through the line.

Roxanne's worry spiked. "I'm sorry, Tia, I didn't hear my phone ring. What's the problem?"

There was a pause, and then her aunt's voice broke through tears. "It's your father, he's suffered a seizure."

    Jaxon's eyes darted between Loo and Cynthia, his face a picture of confusion and anger. "What?" he asked, his voice low and even.Loo's glare at Cynthia was fierce, but she remained silent. Cynthia, on the other hand, was unphased. "If she's tongue-tied, allow me to help her out," she said with a small laugh.Loo's eyes flashed with anger, but she still didn't speak.

"What? Loo, is this true?" he demanded.Loo opened her mouth to speak, but Cynthia cut her off. "Just last night, she set me up with one of your girls, Chloe. God, I really liked that girl.

    Jordan dressed up in Merida's hotel room, his eyes fixed on her as she lay on the bed, a blanket covering her body. Merida's eyes also roamed his body, a flush coming on her cheeks. Jordan chuckled and winked at her. He asked, "What business brought you here, Merida?"Merida's voice was soft. "I have a client here who requested a face-to-face meeting. He's willing to pay a huge sum for our consultancy services, so I couldn't pass it up. Plus, it's an excuse to see you. I've missed you."Jordan smiled, his eyes sparkling at the corners, and his dimples flashing at her. "I've missed you too."Merida continued, "I was thinking... maybe we could get to know each other better?"Jordan's response was reassuring. "That's not an issue, Merida.

    "We are here, Miss." The cab driver's voice brought Roxanne back to reality. She had been contemplating her decision to work in Club D'lux as a pole dancer. "Here's your money." She stretched out a five dollar note to the man who gladly took it. Roxanne stepped out of the cab clutching her purse as a way of numbing her nervousness. Two bulky muscled men in suits stood at the club's entrance. They had some sort of wire connected to their dark shades. Roxanne noticed the pods in their ears. She wondered if they had started as she couldn't hear loud music blasting from the insides. Taking a deep breath, she walked up to the men. "Hello gentlemen." She greeted. One of the men looked her head to toe. She was dressed in free pants and a blue sweatshirt. Her golden hair was tied up in a messy ponytail. "May I see your reservation card?" One of the men queried. "Uh.. I don't have a reservation." "Appointment?" The bulkier one asked. "Yes, uh I have an appointment with Madam Loo."

    She could be a minor.Probably some adventurous one wanting to test the waters. That's it. She's definitely a minor, she looked so young. So innocent and yet alluring. No, he didn't think she was a minor. She had radiated that innocence but not like a minor or so he thought. Was he seeing things? Was it the situation he had found her in? Or was it a combination of both. Whatever it was, it sure had endeared her to him. Jaxon stood at his penthouse veranda and gazed at the lights that never seemed to go out in Vegas as he sipped a bottle of cold beer. He chuckled softly as he remembered her surprised face when he had revealed that he was her boss. Her eyes had been as wide and round as saucers as her lush lips shaped into an O. Her golden-colored hair had been tied up in a bun, but he guessed that when let down it would fall to her shoulders. Perhaps a bit down to her back. He knew any lady, whether minor or adult, would have leaned back and stretched, offering him an unrestricted v
