I and Elvis were having breakfast. I had made us some eggs and bacon.
Yesterday after dinner we hadn't spoken much. I understood that Elvis was on edge, considering I’d been holding back, but it seemed to more than that. He seemed distant.
Perhaps tonight, we’d have some wine and I would loosen up a bit. Give him the one thing he’d waited for all these years. The one thing he had been so patient with.
To me, losing your virginity - or sex at all for that matter- was something you did with the man you loved. With the man, you couldn't see yourself being apart from. And for me, that was Elvis. he took me in when I had no one. When I had no will to live, he gave me a reason to carry on.
I wanted to be with him, in every way I could.
I walked around the table and went behind him where he sat. I wrapped my arm around his neck and started kissing him softly. A low, dark, moan came from him before he grabbed my hand and I jerked my head back.
”If you continue doing that, I'm going to see to it that we finish,” he said. His eyes holding hunger and lust. For me.
I gave him a smirk kissed him quickly before returning to my seat.

We were in the car, driving to ’broadway’. Both of us silent and eager for what laid ahead. Broadway had always been the place where we made our fortune.
Elvis and a few of his friends taught me how to pick-pocket. I learned quickly and they all said I was a natural. At first, they brought me to places with big crowds, usually drunk crowds too.
Where the easier targets were.
They pointed out the people and I went up and did what I was supposed to. It was exhilarating.
The moment my fingertips touched their skin or my hand-dived their pockets, my heart would always speed to a limit. It would race in my chest and the adrenalin went on a rampage.
After they realized how skilled I had become, they started giving me ’bigger fish’.
We went to different events and gatherings, forging invitations to get in with the rich people.
I would dress up in glorious dresses, Elvis in a tux and we'd blend right in. We would talk and mingle and at the end of the night, we would be rich.
At first, my conscience bugged me. Telling me that what I did was wrong. But then, as Elvis’s friend, Parker, pointed out, there’s much more where that came from.
Slowly but surely I started getting more comfortable and suddenly, I was their Ace.
I was the one doing all the big hits.
I don't know how much they made before I came along, but something told me they made much more now that I was with them.
Much of the money, I didn't tell them about. I kept it.
They wanted all of us to divide our share but I thought since I was the one doing the dirty work, I deserved a raise.
I placed a lot of the money in a bank account and in pond shops. Waiting for a rainy day.
”We’re here,” Elvis said and pulled the car up outside a hotel.
We got out, fixed our clothes, and looked around for the rest of the crew.
A car drove up next to us and out hoped Parker, Dino, and Jasper.
”So, everyone knows the drill?” Parker asked us while fixing his cuffs.
”I go on the streets, you guys take the stores.” I said and looked at him. It was always the same story. I went to the streets and the guys went into to the high-end stores. Usually, they came out with no more than a few hundred bucks while I held a fortune.
Parker had a grin on his face as he stepped closer. Invading my private space.
He placed two fingers under my chin and tilted my head up. I raised an eyebrow and met his stare with my own.
”Good, and remember, you do everything it takes.” Elvis chuckled beside me.
I didn’t quite understand what he meant but I could tell it was some sort of peak.
”Perhaps you would like to take the streets, Parker?" I said and smiled stiffly at him.
His grin disappeared and he removed his hand.
Being the only girl amongst four guys could be difficult. I could never really see them as my friends, they all looked at me the same way Elvis did. With lust and hunger.
We all started walking to our separate targets. I hit the streets and walked casually amongst the others there.
I looked into a Chanel store and saw a pair of boots I really liked. Not that I would ever pay that money for a pair of shoes, but a girl can look.
I continued walking past Loui Viton and Hilfiger, and that’s where the people started coming out. I made a beeline for a coffee shop and used the bathrooms. Quickly putting away the few things I had gathered so far.
And then I went back out.
I bumped into a woman and quickly apologized. As I walked past her, I placed her wallet in my bag. I walked in between two men and snatched their phones and a bracelet.
’Gold, nice.’
One man started walking towards me, I made eye contact with him before looking to the side, bumping into his shoulder. He placed his hand on my arm and asked if I was okay.
I nodded my head and apologized for being a clutz and then I left, I placed a watch in my bag and a ring. He had good taste.
I continued my stroll, casually looking into the stores and pretending to blend in with these people. Not that I ever would.
Yes, I have money, but I don't have the mindset of being rich. I would never go on a shopping spree at a place where three bags cost as much as a house.
I saw two men closing in on me and averted my eyes. I felt his wrist as I slowly passed him and started unhooking his watch. It was a Rolex, worth at least $60 000.
Never in my three years had I ever been caught. Because I was skilled. Because I was smooth and I went undetected. And because I never made anything personal.
But it is all bound to come to an end sooner or later. Too bad, it turned out to be sooner.
I felt a hand harshly grip hold of my arm. I turned in panic and saw the man I was stealing a watch from, boring his eyes into mine.
”I like my watch. And I'd like to keep it.” I gulped. This had never happened but the guys said that if ever I did get caught, just pretend like it was a mistake.
”I-I’m so sorry. I wasn't trying to steal your watch,” I said. Sounding slightly offended.
With a closer look at the man, as he turned around, his hand still firmly around my arm. I could see how gorgeous he was. I could see his sharp jawline, his plumed lips, his piercing blue eyes. I could see the anger in them as well but his looks held my full attention.
I didn't dare to look down, however badly I wanted to see the body adjusted to that face. His jaw clicked and his brows came together as he searched my face.
His nose wrinkled and he turned his head looking at his friend. His friend seemed to be quite amused by the situation. Whereas for me, for the first time since I started, was panicking.
Not that it showed, but my heart that otherwise speeded, had stopped. I could barely feel it.
~Tyler~
”Welcome to the annual meeting of the boards. I am especially glad to announce that Mr. Porter has agreed to the merger and will be working in close quarters with us. With no further ado, let’s celebrate!” Eruptions of cheers and glasses being swirled and refilled filled the room. The cigars were being lit and the event that everyone works all year for had arrived.
”Let the girls in!” I said and finished my glass.
I narrowed my eyes at Mr. Porter, whose eyes were glued to the door that just opened.
I walked to the back, where Noah was sitting, in the corner with a bottle of Glenfiddich- 55.
I slumped down on the chair and placed my glass on the table. Noah filled it up quickly and I took a brink drink.
”Did you see it?” I stared at Mr. Ported back, watching him pay one of the women as she was sitting on his lap.
”It’s around his neck.” I said and looked to my side.
Two of the women came to the back, both of them with bare chests and a string in-between their asses. Not covering up very much. Which is why we’re paying them.
”Care for a dance, Mr. Chaps?” I rose a brow and leaned back. Waiting for her to get on with it.
I looked over at Noah who raised his glass in a cheer as the other woman held him happy.
* * *
We were walking on Elmer street, needing some fresh air after this week.
”So, what's the plan, boss?” Noah asked me, sarcasm laced his annoying voice.
I looked at him disapprovingly and saw the smirk that played on his face.
”I have no fucking idea. Maybe we can hire of those women to fuck him and grab the USB drive in the meantime,” I said. It was meant as a joke but actually sounded quite decent.
”And after getting that money to fuck a fat douchebag, what do you think they will do with the drive? Give it back to you - no questions asked?”
He had a point.
Fuck.
I saw a woman walking towards us. Her brown hair blowing away from her face. Her mind was elsewhere, she didn't see us.
As she came closer and I got a better look, this girl was fucking hot.
Her body was curved, her hips swaying as she walked.
I wanted to ask her to turn around for me, but I didn't feel like taking a slap to the face today.
She walked past us, but then I felt it.
She had seen us, she had spotted her hit.
My whole body tensed as her soft fingers graced my skin.
I grabbed her arm and yanked her to a stop.
As she turned around, her big eyes nearly melted my fucking mind.
~Rose~ What the hell do I do? I already said that it was a mistake, that I hadn't intended on stealing anything. This was supposed to be the part where he let me go. But he wasn’t. He was holding a firm grip, so firm that it was stopping my blood flow. ”I think I should-” ”No.” ”You’re a pick-pocketer huh?” He said and stepped closer. I held my face void and stern. Not admitting to anything, but it was as though he could see straight through me. I saw movement from behind him and looked over his shoulder. My eyes locked with Elvis, I gave him a pleading glare, thinking he would come and help me. But he left, he looked at me and then he turned around. Followed by the others. I couldn't beli
I was sitting next to Noah in silence, neither of saying anything to the other. Tyler had gone out, doing good on my wanting to talk to the authorities.Something my mother always told me, was that no matter where life took me, I should never owe anyone. Because it always ends up slapping you in the face.I thought back to before she passed, how easy everything was even though it was difficult.Yes, she was sick. But she never acted like it. Even after her treatments when I would take care of her, she would tell me to stop fussing over her.I missed her greatly, I missed her words of comfort and wise words. She always knew exactly what to say. Whenever I felt sad because I did bad on a test or when I would fight with a friend, she would always make me feel better. She was my whole wo
I was in one of Tylers hotels. I had called him after I left Elvis, asked him if the offer still stood.He sent me the address after I told him his driver didn't have to come. It took some convincing but eventually he falltered.I was standing in the lobby, waiting for the receiptionist to give me my room key.She walked out of the back with a few forms I had to fill in which I did.”Here you go, top floor. Use the elevator furthest down,” she said with a bright smile.I thanked her and started walking to the elevator, my suitcase dragging behind me.I got in and hoped for no one else to enter, I wanted the peace and quiet. And to my surprise, I didnt have any other guests riding the elevator.
Two weeks had gone by and I hadn't been doing much. Two weeks gone, meant two weeks left but I didn't want to think about that. It would mean I had to get undressed and dance in a room full of men. Flirting with them and being close to them.The furthest I had ever gone with Elvis, was kissing him.I hadn’t ever done anything else with him or any other man for that matter. When I was in school, my mind was on my mother and getting good grades, not fooling around with guys and hooking up with some random person. I never went to parties because I didn't want to leave my mother alone. I wanted to spend every waking moment I had with her.And now, all that was about to hit me in the face. I was stepping out of my comfort zone, big time.
~Rose~He wanted me to be his date?Or his cover story?It must be a cover story. I've seen the way he looks at me, just like every other guy did. With lust, only much more intense.The strangest part was, he never made me feel uncomfortable.He wanted me to go to an event and meet his parents, how does one act on such an event?And why did his parents have to be there, it only made things so much harder?”I’ll pay you, of course, for your services.” And then it crashed. He just had to go and open that big mouth of his.Pay for my services?I’m not an escort.”Another five hundred thousand.” That would make the total one million dollars by the end of this month.&nb
Tomorrow was the event. I had placed everything up neatly so that it was ready. I couldn't wait to wear it and I had never had that feeling before.It was new and exciting.I had showered and done a face mask, now I was sitting and continuing to watch the tutorials on how to give lap dances. It didn't look pleasant at all.They were sitting on the men's laps, swinging their hips hypnotically and with such fines.How in the world does one learn that?I got up from the couch and started swinging my hips back and forth, doing as they showed.It felt wrong for some reason. They looked to feel so comfortable with it, it looked natural. So why do I feel like a hippo dancing around?I felt clumsy and not at all erotic.I sat back down and rewatched it. I h
Today was the day.The event was tonight and only a few hours away. I had showered and was letting my hair air dry.I was painting my fingernails, a natural creme beige color, as well as my toenails.I decided to curl my hair and clip it back. I had a few pieces of jewelry that I opted for, and for some reason, even though I was nervous, I was also excited. Excited to dress up and get dolled up to go out. To look like a princess, if only for a night.I walked like a penguin to the kitchen, making sure the nail polish doesn’t smudge.I grabbed a glass and poured myself a glass of wine.The closer it got to seven a clock,
Clara had gone off as well. She saw someone she knew and wanted to talk to. I stood there alone, in the middle of a large ballroom. People were walking around, socializing and I felt a sudden urge for air. I saw how everyone mingled, fitting into the high-class society, and then there was me. A misfit amongst the rich and powerful. I finished my champagne and placed the glass on a passing waitress's tray. I looked across the room and saw two opened double doors, leading outside. I walked slowly through the crowd, nodding my head and smiling at the strangers. The sudden feeling of miss belonging was making it hard to breathe. I was so close to reaching the doors. I had walked out of the ballroom, about to step over the threshold and out on the balcony, when a man stepped in my way. ”What’s the
~Rose~ I had woken up to an empty apartment, still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I was stadning by the window with a cup of coffee in my hands, looking out over the city. The people were moving around beneath me, going to their destinations, and some, wondering what their destination was. How did my life take this turn? How did I go from making a living by stealing from people, to signing a contract, giving myself to a cold-hearted, gazilionare-CEO? That question had been tormenting me for the past week. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't think of an answer. I was so lost in my thoughts that I jumped when the elevator pinged. Right away, the butterflies within me stirred awake and started fluttering around. My inconvenient feelings arising and that dreadful piece of hope, clinging to my heart, wished it
”Thank you so much for tonight, it’s been lovely,” I said and hugged Daniella tightly. I removed my hands and tried pulling back, but Daniella had a firm grip and no intention of unwrapping her arms.Her warm embrace was welcoming but disheartening as well. I didn't want to get used to it.The comfort from a woman who truly cared, who exuded love and warmth, the only other woman who I ever felt this with was my mother. This wasn't my life, I didn't have someone too hug me and tell me that everything would be okay. If I ever allowed myself too get used to this and then have it ripped from my arms, I don't know if my heart would be able to handle the void it would leave behind.”I’m so very sorry for your loss, Rose. But if ever you need someone for advice or help, anything at all, just tell me. I'm here.” She whispered, quietly eno
Daniella had tears in her eyes, but they were also swarming with pride. I couldn't understand why, I thought I had just fucked up big time but it felt good getting everything of my chest. Ms. Davidsson cleared her throat, everyone shook of their initial state of shock and turned to her. Her nose was wrinkled but other than that it was imosible to tell what she was thinking or how she felt. This woman was a master at hiding her emotions from the world but you shouldn't hide them from your family. ”Thank you, Daniella, for the dinner. I think I'm going to go lie down a while.” Patrcia got up and gave me one last glare, her eyes held emotions I couldn't decipher, she was like a closed and locked book, impossible to read.Her green eyes were lifeless, her lips pressed in a thin line and her nose was up in the air. 
~Rose~ ”You made it!” Clara shirked and ran up to me, wrapping her arms around me. I hugged her back and giggled and she dragged me and her brother into their lake hosue. When I first heard the word ’lakehosue’ I expected a smaller, wicker house by a lake, like a cozy cotage. What I didn't except was a humongous mansion with three stories and an entire private lake with three jetskees and a yatch outside. It was not at all what I though it would be, but then again, what is when it comes to billionaires. Or gazilionares. I'm not sure what category they're actually in but something tells me it’s the latter. ”Hey sis, no love for your big brother?” Tyler teased with a much to sincere pretend-hurt expression on his
~Rose~ We were back in the penthouse, I hadn't spoken a word to Tyler the entire car ride nor in the elevator. I was furious. Yes, I agreed to sign the contract, but when I said I didn't want to go I meant well. I meant for Tyler to spend time with his family without my interference. Without our charade having to be played and everyone believing the lies we told. I wanted him to spend quality time with his sister and mom, though I couldn’t give two fucks about his dad. I went straight to my room and closed the door, needing the space and the silence to think and try to get a hang on me emotions. I slumped down on the bed, my hand covering my face and from nowhere, the tears started streaming down. I never cried in front of people, only when I was
We were back in the hotel, Tyler said he’d stay here tonight and I didn't argue. It was his home after all.” Your sister was lovely,” I said as I went to the kitchen to fix myself a snack.”As was your mother,” Your dad was a prick, I thought but didn't say.”And my father?” He asked me with his perfect brows raised.”He was the least charming of the bunch,” I said and felt a hint of pride from my choice of word.Tyler's dad was a man with whom one doesn't argue. You don't talk back, you don't swear and you behave well. Only the elites are worthy of his company.He was a great businessman, a man of honor when it came to working, worthy of his title.&n
