Chapter One

Brianna sighed as she stared at her own reflection on the mirror. Whenever she wore her makeup and hair, she couldn’t recognize herself.

The black wig she used covered her naturally shoulder-length blonde hair. The amber-colored contact lens covered her electric blue eyes.

She's now Eve. Whenever she's inside this strip club, she has to make sure all traces of Brianna Wilson will disappear.

“Eva, my dear. Be ready in five. You’re next.” The club manager, Zendy peeked through the ajar door and winked at her. “Just as we expected, we’re packed.” She sounded happy.

Zendy was the one who hired her when she came to the club looking for a job.

The transgender woman immediately took her the moment she entered the club, she was eighteen then, and she was in desperate need of money.

Brianna realized that she’s been working as a stripper in this high-end club for two years now and she has no plans in quitting anytime soon.

“I’ll be out, Zendy.”

Brianna reapplied her signature bright-red lipstick and wore her mask. She studied her figure in the mirror. She's ready to make some men hard tonight and in return she’ll go home with a bunch of cash for her family, especially for her sick mother.

She grabbed her robe and went out of the dressing room.

“Girl, those hungry, ugly men are waiting for you. They kept on calling your name while Kat was on stage. I can’t imagine how annoyed she was!” Margaux giggled as she ushered Brianna to the backstage.

She’s next to perform after Kat and the last one to dance for tonight.

Valkyrie is a high-end, VIP membership-only club. Only the wealthiest could afford to pay for the membership card and men like rich businessmen, actors, celebrities and even famous politicians came to the place to release all their sexual desires.

Women on the show can be taken home for a special price and there were VIP rooms underground where patrons can take their women and fuck them.

“C’mon, she might hear you. I don't want to get on her bad side, she can be a real bitch if she wants to.” Brianna rolled her eyes.

Margaux continued to giggle. “Let me get that robe, darling. Good luck!”

Brianna let out a shaky sigh. She tried her best not to feel nervous. She’s been doing this for almost two years now, but every show never fails to make her nervous as hell.

Dancing naked in front of perverted men was never easy, even if she's used to it already.

Brianna stood behind the curtain and closed her eyes. In her mind’s eye she envisioned her frail mother smiling sadly at her and her siblings who depended so much on her.

''Okay, Eve. Let's do this,'' she whispered.

The slow and sexy music began to play.

The curtain slowly moved and the crowd went wild the moment Brianna started to sway her hips to the slow beating of the music, making sure her every move was seductive and enticing.

She’s now Eve, the stripper.

Brianna was the innocent, family-loving girl who would do anything for her family. Eve, on the other hand, was the smoking hot stripper at Valkyrie, the temptation of every married man and the obsession of wealthy men.

Minutes later, Eve removed all her skimpy bikini leaving her nothing but her own skin.

This is what she does for a living, dancing naked to flesh-hungry men. But Eve never regretted doing such a dirty thing, if it's for her family she can do just about anything for them.

Phoenix was so absorbed in the book he’s reading that his heart almost jumped when his phone blasted.

It was Zeus, his brother and he knew exactly what he wanted.

Shaking his head, Phoenix swiped the screen of his phone to answer the call.

“I told you, I’m going to that kind of place, Zeus. End of discussion.” Phoenix immediately blocked what his brother was about to say.

Zeus has been bugging him to come with him to this certain club where girls danced naked on the stage.

Phoenix doesn’t really like those kinds of places, and watching girls wiggle their tits in front of men wasn’t really his kind of thing, that’s just purely disgusting and downright degrading.

Besides, he had a reputation to take care of. He's a respectable politician and if he’s spotted going to that place, his career and name will be doomed.

Phoenix wasn't ready for that kind of scandal.

“Oh, c’mon! What are you, a saint? Just loosen up, will you? We’re not gonna take some bimbo home, bro. We’re just going to watch them dance, you know what I mean? C’mon, tonight is Eve’s performance, she’s the star stripper there, and damn she’s really hot! You really need to see her before you get locked up in marriage.” Zeus tried hard to convince him.

Phoenix closed the book and removed his eyeglasses. Closing his eyes, he massaged his temple.

“That’s the point. Why would I watch naked women dancing on stage? I mean, that’s just a woman, with tits and pussy. Man, we tasted those a hundred times already. What’s special about this woman?”

It’s just plain perversion for Phoenix to watch women dance naked. He’s not a saint, but he’s not a pervert either.

“Are you sure you don’t wanna go? Is that your final answer?”

Phoenix frowned. He can sense that his brother was up to something.

He rubbed his stubbles and leaned back on the couch.

“I told you. That’s not my thing, and I can’t be seen in that kind of place,'' Phoenix answered with finality.

There was a moment of silence from the other line before Zeus spoke again.

“Fine. I’ll tell dad that don’t have plans to run for VP next elec -

He cut Zeus off before he could even finish the sentence.

“Fine! Fine, I’ll go. Damn you, Zeus!” He wanted to strangle his brother for using his secret to his advantage. “Fetch me, I don’t want to use my car.”

“Oh, yeah! That’s my man! I’ll be there in ten minutes. You won’t regret this, I promise you.”

“Fuck you!”

Zeus let out a boisterous laugh before cutting the line.

Phoenix let out a sigh and shook his head. He glanced at the book he was holding. “Well, I think I’ll just finish you some other time.”

***

Zeus was still laughing at him until they arrived at the club.

“Damn, I can’t believe you actually wore that! You looked weird, brother.”

Phoenix looked at his reflection in the rearview mirror. There’s nothing wrong with being precautious, he just doesn't want to cause a scandal if someone caught him in that club.

Armed with the mustache and nerdy glasses that he wore, he’s sure no one’s going to recognize him.

Plus, he looked weird with his baggy jeans and checkered sweater. All traces of Senator Phoenix McIntyre were erased.

“Just making sure I won’t be on the front page in tomorrow's newspaper!” He retorted.

Zeus barked out a laugh.

They settled on a vacant table at the VVIP area, it was the nearest table to the stage, just below it.

Phoenix winced, that means he's going to be watching a naked woman dance near his face.

“Wait until you see Eve dance, you’ll instantly get a hard-on, man. That woman is a witch. And you know what? She’s not available for take out. No man in this place had ever fucked her. She’s a real goddess, bro.'' Zeus proudly told him.

His eyes even sparkled with excitement as he poured words of adoration to the woman.

Phoenix was not actually interested in that woman named Eve, if that was even her real name. He just has to endure this and he’s going back to his house after the show.

He silently scanned the area. The club was jam packed. And Phoenix was actually shocked when he recognized familiar faces among the crowd, faces he didn't expect that he'll find here.

“Fuck, that’s Mr. Smith, he’s the chairman of Smith Industries. I can’t believe he’s into this thing. I mean, he looked so loyal and in love with his wife.” He commented, still baffled by what he just discovered.

Smith was at the other VVIP table and there were two sexy women sitting beside him. It looks like he's enjoying their company.

“He’s a regular here. Smith is one of the few men who tried to take Eve home. He even offered one million dollars for one night. And guess what? She declined!''

“One million dollars for one night? For a pussy? That’s ridiculous.”

Phoenix couldn't understand why these men would pay such an amount just for a damn pussy!

“You won’t say that if you see her.”

“Gentlemen, your much awaited star for tonight is finally here. For the final show, let’s welcome this goddess, Eve!” A man in the background announced.

The crowd shouted like a war dogs in the battlefield.

Phoenix shifted his attention on the stage. His curiosity bloomed.

“Eve! I’ll give you anything, just let me have a taste of that pussy!”

“Can’t wait to see those tits bounce!”

He winced at those bold words. He knew these people, respectable businessmen with beautiful wives, and here they are, shouting profanities like barbarians.

The lights went off and a slow and sexy music started to play. Phoenix could feel the tension drifting in the air.

The spotlight focused at the center of the stage as the curtain slowly opened and a woman with a skimpy red bikini began to sway her sexy body to the beat of the music.

Phoenix frowned. He can’t see her face because she’s wearing a mask to conceal her identity.

The loud music and the shouting of the crowd disappeared in the background and all of his attention was on her.

It was like everything in that bar zoned out.

His eyes feasted on her body, and Phoenix wanted to rip the mask off her face.

Heat coiled at every vein in his body.

His eyes focused on the beautiful creature on the stage. To say that he was hypnotized was an understatement.

His whole body tensed, and he could feel his shaft getting harder by the second.

When the woman took off her skimpy bikini revealing her pinkish and perky nipples, Phoenix swallowed an invisible lump in his throat.

The air shifted, burning desire started to envelope his senses.

He wanted those nipples on the pad of his tongue and he wanted to devour every inch of her breast.

For the first time in his thirty years of existence, Phoenix felt an intense desire for a woman. A kind of desire he never felt before.

Eve continued to dance on the stage, and when their eyes met, she winked at him.

At that moment, Phoenix knew he was doomed.

“Damn!” he cursed. He cupped the front of his baggy jeans, he’s housing a massive hard-on in a public place! “This is a fucking disaster!”
