Bonus #1.1: On the Menu
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Three years ago, I had everything.
I was in an elite university on a scholarship; of course, the poor don’t really catch such breaks, and I was on my way to a cushy job after graduation, then…it all slipped from my fingers.
"Beautiful."
Wanda utters as she puffs the curls of my reddish-brown hair over my shoulders to cover the excess of my breasts that the flimsy gemstone bra does not.
I am a dancer in the strip club, but on auction night, I avoid the stage and opt to waitress instead.
The auction is simple: a dancer dances on the stage, and at the end of their performance, they are ‘auctioned off’ for a private lap dance in one of the VIP rooms. I hate VIP rooms. Yes, there is security, but they still work under the sleaze Dominic, so of course, there have been cases of the dancers overdosing on drugs they were forced to take.
"Do you have to use the black eye contacts? Your ruby eyes are gorgeous?”
Wanda asks as she packs up.
“Plus, customers pay more for exotic messes."
Exotic messes.
I was once at the top of my class...and now I am an exotic mess.
“Yeah, well, just bid for me, okay?”
“Fifty k is my maximum, baby; I am as broke as you are.”
Wanda utters.
Fifty is good enough; not enough people participate in the auction when a lap dance request is just two thousand.
**
The silence is deadly, and the lights burning my body are drowning.
There are times I like the stage; it drowns everything: the noise, the thoughts and the desire to simply…vanish.
My body begins to move to the rhythm of the chosen song, ‘Where You Go’ by Kiana Ledé and Khalid, an odd song choice, considering it isn’t as raunchy as many prefer, but I like sensual types.
I can’t twerk like most strippers, but I can move my body.
I sway my hips to the steady beats as I run my fingers over the gems covering my breasts to tease the shade of my nipples before hiding them naughtily in a way that incites jeering.
With my back turned to the noisy crowd, I sashay to the pole that smells of sanitiser.
I give my body to the cold metal by rubbing against it sensually before turning to the crowd, smiling, and then leaping onto it.
After doing a few slow spins, I climb to its top, then lower my upper body as my legs hold me up so that I remain upside down, with my breasts spilling before correcting my pose, snapping a trinket out of place so that the gems can hang in an even more risqué manner to draw the crowd’s attention only, the already flimsy bra feels too loose that I regret my decision.
A burn caresses my skin.
I hate that my eyes travel to their source in the VIP section; I don’t normally meet anyone’s gaze here. I prefer being in my own world, but…this one in particular makes my skin itch.
A stiffness finds me when my gaze meets familiar, intense blue eyes; I nearly lose my grip on the pole.
Adrian?
No way…not him…not the student president in the university that I-
Wait. He wouldn’t know a nobody like me.
That’s right…I was not the only one on scholarship, and student presidents are intensely busy, so there is no way he knows me.
With new confidence roaming my veins, my hips find their pace. This time, my gaze holds the blue of his as my fingers once again tease my frame before I spin on the pole and spread my legs, as once again I lower my upper body upside down. thank goodness for the reflective underwear I have on, yet still, I feel naked as he lifts his glass of alcohol and presses it to his lips. In contrast, his gaze still holds me, no, not me, my centre and my breasts.
The looseness on my gemstone-like bra persists until all its pieces fall on the ground for the delight of everyone watching.
Fuck.
I almost let go of the pole to cover myself, but…No, I do not wish him to see any hesitation, any doubt, anything within me…not that it matters.
The song ends, and I slide off the pole. Two dancers rush to me with a towel that the crowd jeers at.
“We’ll start the bidding at-”
“Fifteen thousand for them knockers!”
The blonde frat boy from earlier yells.
Right...I am still on the menu.
“Fifteen thousand going once!”
“Thirty thousand.”
Wanda’s voice reassures me.
“Forty thousand.”
The frat boys continue after discussing among themselves; no doubt, they would ‘share me’, and with their tact, I might leave with a bruise or two... I wonder if I am allowed to fight back or if Dominic will hand me my ass should I try.
Holy hell.
“Two hundred thousand.”
The club remains silent at the booming voice from the VIP section.
Adrian? Wait…two hundred thousand for an hour's worth of a lap dance? Is he crazy?
“Three hundred thousand!”
Wanda calls, and I almost smile until the words ‘eight hundred thousand’ follow from the VIP section.
My gaze moves to Wanda, but she shakes her head from side to side and mutters an apology paired with the word ‘expensive.’
“Sold to the gentleman in the VIP section.”
Fuck.
Eight hundred thousand…I have no doubt that he will expect more, far more than anyone should give.

Adrian M. KnoxThere was something he was missing. Adrian couldn't place his finger on it, but there was definitely something missing.Ruby’s mother, who hated her, wanted her. The same woman who valued perfectionism wanted her desperately enough to tarnish her own name in high society with a court trial.See, a mother who could care less about the daughter they insisted was better off not being born, would have simply taken the payoffs given by the Clive families and vanished to minimise more scandals and avail a possible comeback, but...she didn’t.Something was off, and simply getting him divorced to be vindictive was not it.So then what? What about his wife made the great Amélie Clive desperate for her Mallory?Surely, it couldn’t be the same thing keeping him glued to her; that would be sick.His hand reached the door’s knob, holding it open for her, and for a second, his mind flashed to the last time they walked through the same door together—she was unconscious, bloody, and sh

AdrianThe feel of her flesh, as he pried the flimsy shirt off, was cool. Again, she moaned against his mouth, and again, he swallowed and pressed her sex harder until the fight left her arms, and she no longer pushed him away.Her apple scent faded as that of her watermelon grew stronger and more delicious.His pull from her was quick and only aimed at tugging her shirt from her flesh before his mouth captured hers again, and this time, she returned his kiss.His hand found her waist. The buttons were easy to undo, but for some reason, his fingers did not cooperate on the zipper, not until she pulled her waist back so he could access it more quickly.Footsteps sounded from the hall's end."Fuck...go back!"He commanded with ease as he pulled his lips from her to turn in the direction the footsteps sounded from."My apologies, Alpha."The voice of his head maid responded before the footsteps receded, but the damage had been done; the spell was broken."You would force a pregnant woman

Adrian M. Knox "Elaine!" His stand from his desk caused the ice pack that was nestled on his crotch to fall to the ground with a rattle courtesy of the still-crispy frozen cubes. "I'm serious, Muaas, dead serious." "For God’s sake! Is this your idea of throwing a tantrum? Opening yourself to a stranger whose risk factor is uncertain because God forbid you put in much thought to your first time with a man? Elaine, my wife is pregnant. I have to stay with her. I don't have time for this, okay?" His fingers slid the red button on time before she uttered another word that would shake his resolve. Yes, she was his weakness and good God, did she know it because even now, he wished to call her back and beg her to behave in a way that did not stir him. His hand reached his hair, but nothing he could do could still the fast beat of his heart. How? How could he feel this possessive over...no? He wasn't feeling possessive; it was protective. Her first time should be special and... His.

His taste on the back of my throat is salty; each time I seal my lips on his member, a gagging escapes me.His hand presses the back of my head deeper into him, choking me; it is only when tears erupt from my eyes that he eases his grip. My pull from his shaft is not dignifying; my saliva and some of his seed hangs from the corners of my mouth.“Fuck..”He groans before his hand reaches for me.I offer my chin so that he may wipe the mess, but instead, his hand holds his shaft that he then proceeds to stroke against my cheek until the white moisture spurting off ceases to flow.“So can I?”I ask as my head leans on his shaft. I like the control he gives up when I stroke him—in a sense, men are simple…but I, too, succumb to him when he places me in his mouth.“Two hours.”“Two?

Adrian M KnoxAdrian’s arms grew numb; there was no flattering way to ask the pregnant woman lying on his arms to move because his arm was now officially dead; she looked too peaceful for that.The idea of normalcy with Ruby had always eluded him, but the dinner had been nice. The only issue was that he wanted more afterwards; he always wanted more from her afterwards...but she fell asleep as soon as she placed her head on his chest.It was the same last time; she would always press her nose to his sternum, inhale him, then cling to him as if she were drowning and he was her raft before her eyes would shut and her breathing would deepen.It was both adorable and frustrating, frustrating because this would be the third night we had masturbated near her slumbering body—at some point, he began to convince himself he was not a pervert.Then again, he wasn't sure if she would have wanted to sleep with him all too often, considering they went to the hospital a week ago, but... it's been a w

The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Author's Note
Hi! That’s a wrap for ‘The Alpha’s Ruby Obsession’; it has been the wildest ride yet. On matters pertaining to bonuses, they will not always be guaranteed a happy ending or to give a sense of closure. Additionally, going forward, not all stories will have bonuses. On to the main matter: I want a light book for my next project, something that doesn’t make me teary while writing and also, I want to leave the woods for the big city for a while, so I thought, why not get high blood pressure and delve into the world of greedy mother-in-laws and audacious husbands in My next book, a billionaire romance, ‘Trillionaire After Divorce’. It should be out by January if all factors are cooperative; it will not be as tragic as this one, but it will still have some darkness...and tons of romantic angst. I’ll tell you this in advance: be ready to throw hands at audacities! As usual, it will be 18+; whatever will I do without smut? As always, thank you for reading, and hopefully, I will see you in

** Ruby. "Last step. Just jump. I will catch you." I whisper to Elle, who throws her little arms around my shoulders as she takes her leap of faith gracefully. "Good girl." I praise her quickly before placing her on the ground and holding her hand so we can run across the empty street. It was not in any of my plans to use the window at one a.m., essentially alerting my little sister, Elle, of something going wrong, but I had no choice; Dominic had his men surround my apartment, so if I stayed, I would be forced to sleep with men, now that I have been injected contraceptives on his coin already. After helping Elle in the car waiting for us, I hop in the passenger seat before Wanda drives off. “Thanks, Wanda.” I utter finally as we enter the main road. “Baby, this is stupid; you know Dom will never let you go.” "He will if you seduce him for me.

The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Bonus #5: Annoying
Adrian "That's the girl." Adrian's gaze lifted in the direction his friend pointed. "The number one of business school." It didn't irk him as much as Leon, his best friend, meant for it to; after all, numbers meant nothing to him unless they were in the form of currency and had never found a soul wealthier than his family, even in the university. In fact, it didn't matter so much that he wanted to walk to her and invite her to his group, scholarship or not; she earned the right to associate with him, at least within the confines of the school. "Tell her to join us. No, tell her that she can be sitting with us instead of alone." He ushered Elaine; she was something of a kid sister to him. "What? Why? She is poor; I highly doubt that she can purchase from our section; you’ll just make her feel bad." "She stole my spot in the school, so I want everyone to know she earned the right to sit with us. Plus, we can buy her food if she can’t afford it." The notion made little sense to

The last Chapter of the Bonus will be tomorrow. ** “I didn’t ask you to protect me! I wasn’t in danger.” His sneer rises, and I wince, anticipating another slap, but instead, he clicks his tongue. “You will need to visit a family planning establishment to get your affairs in order; if you are going to start taking in men, then-” “I will get you the money!” “By tomorrow? Because your debt just went up by eight hundred thousand.” “I didn’t ask you to interrupt. Don’t give the refund let me go out there and-.” Dominic’s hand rises, and I flinch before the sound of his tongue clicking against the roof of his mouth echoes once again. “I will give you the day off tomorrow, but Maurice will escort you to the family planning centre. I’ll show you an easy way to pay me back if you are in such a rush to escape me. Now, take that coat off. You look stupid wearing it.” "Will I look more dignified to the men you intend to whore me out to?" Dominic winces, but his expression does not soft
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Bonus #3: Owned
Hi! Quick disclaimer: The bonus stories are not guaranteed a happy or ‘closure-inducing’ ending. Please read at your own risk. Adrian’s hands waste no time lowering to my ass to part my flesh apart. "You are not permitted to touch-" “‘Touch the stripper’? I know, but can't you take it as me making your work easier? I am doing you a favour.” “I highly doubt a yeast infection counts as a favour. Either lower your pants because your boxers are certainly cleaner to press against, or let me do my dance in peace.” His hot breath coats my ear as he chuckles. His hands leave my ass to fiddle with his belt and lower his zip, but mother of Christ, why are his knuckles grazing against my centre while he does this? I am certain I have lifted my hips enough for there to be no contact between us. The feel of his fingers hooking upward tells me that his actions are on purpose. But before I can protest, his fingers leave my centre, and instead, his hips thrust upwards on my bare and sensitive

“Hand me the tape, Joy.” I ask as I hold the last box in place before the garments pop out. “Just a second! Elle, don’t run with scissors!” Elle’s laughter sounds across the hall, making it exceedingly clear that there will be no assistance any time soon. With a sigh, I consider letting the box’s contents explode open, but in the nick of time, a tape gun is pressed on my shoulder. “Oh, thank God. Tape it for me; my arms are holding… the box…closed.” I drawl as surprise takes over my body, causing my grip on the box to lessen such that its contents spill out. “...Adrian?” I call as I stand, ignoring the mess I made. "So, you were going to leave." He utters as if he were merely seeking my confirmation on the matter. "Adrian.” I call with a sigh before looking for the best choice of words. “What are you doing here? We talked about-" "You were going to abandon me again?" The loudness in his voice jostles me. There is a certainty in which he asks his question that leaves me

Ruby M. Clive ‘This was fun.’ The words play again in my mind before the fatigue I convinced myself was the sex finds me. "Fun." I toy with the word again before looking at my reflection in the mirror. The makeup hid the puffiness of my face well, but the redness remained regardless of the amount of concealer used. My legs feel weak, so I let my flesh crumble to the ground as more tears overcome me. I hate how easily I cry these days, but more than that, I hate the delight that found me when his wolf recognised me. He fell asleep with his length inside me, and I couldn’t pull it out; even now, I can still feel his shape inside me. My gaze lingers on the gauze on my hand; beneath it lies his teeth marks that ooze the scent of the ocean despite the amount of time I rinsed the wound. I don’t get it; no one has ever recalled the past in my presence before, so how could he? It makes sense for his wolf to remember me; we were mates, but not him, his hatred for Clives should prevent
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Three-Eight: Fun
A groan found Adrian’s lips with ease when his hands stroking the space next to him confirmed that it was cold, meaning she had left quite a while ago.His canines tasted of blood; did he bite himself?“Fuck! That’s so embarrassing!”He cursed, recalling how desperately he begged her to tell him who the man she loved was and how easily she drew a line with him. He didn't want to wake up; the bed wasn’t even his, but he didn’t want to leave it because the moment he did, he would have to face the consequences of the deal they had made—never seeing her again.But was the deal still in effect if she wasn’t there like she promised to be?"Oh, you are up-"Ruby said as the bathroom door opened, and he took in her glowing sight that was emphasised by the steam from the hot shower.She looked fresh and clean but also dressed up. She had on her robe and a full face of makeup, all while her hair remained wrap
The Alpha's Ruby Obsession Chapter One-Three-Seven: Come Morning
Adrian watched Ruby’s flesh devour his hard shaft slowly; she only used her hands to steady his length inside her.If he were any more dazed, he would shove himself inside her, but she was far too tight for such an act not to cause her discomfort, so his teeth found his lip in search of patience before he spoke.“Are you okay?”He asked when the shadow of a wince crossed her face; his member wasn’t even halfway through.It was quite the awkward question to ask, considering that he was her source of discomfort, so while a part of him prayed that she wouldn’t back out, the other prepared for what felt inevitable.“Yes…yes, I just need a moment.”She uttered.“Are you sure? We could stop-”“I am certain.”She said with a laugh that once again undid him; how did she do that?How did she captivate him with such ease?His eyes fell on her large breasts that seemed to spill on her chest before returning to her eyes.Who was he?Who was the one man who had seen her in this way?He was clearly
