Grace POVFollowing Amber to the bathroom seemed like a good idea at the time but now that I am standing in front of her with my arms crossed waiting for her to tell me what the hell is going on doesn’t seem like the better idea I have ever had.“I am okay Grace. Stop trying to get me to say I am not,” she says as she looks at the mirror, reapplying the red lipstick she is using. I shake my head, taking one step closer to my best friend.“I don’t know why you think you can lie to my face and get away with it, I know something is wrong, and I can tell there is something with me because you can’t even look at me Amber,” I let out and she shakes her head pushing away from the sink and grabbing one of the paper towels to clean her hands.“You need to wake up and realize that the world doesn’t revolve around you Grace, just because your life sucks
Dash POV“Maggie, can you please make sure no one enters the private area without being invited?” I ask, and she nods her head. The private area is a secret I only allowed some of the guests to know existed and I had two girls that entered without permission. Good thing they had to sign the fucking NDAs before coming because otherwise I would’ve been fucked.“I don’t know how that happened,” she says, shaking her head and I honestly don’t give a flying fuck how it happened. I just know it can’t happen again.“Just do your fucking job and make sure it won’t happen again,” I let out in annoyance. Maggie is new to working with me, but I know her reputation, so I expected more from here. She’s worked in several casinos and clubs with exclusive clientele to the point she calls them by their names, not their titles anymore.“
Grace POV“This is where all your fantasies can become reality,” Dash tells me, and I frown. Dash walks to the wall near where we entered and presses a button. The light inside the room turns red, and he walks back to me. The butterflies in my stomach start flying as he places both his hands on my waist. “This is the fun side of the club, even more exclusive than the rest of the club. Not even my brother is allowed here, not today anyway,” Dash tells me and I nod slightly. My hands are starting to sweat and Dash brings them to his lips as he places small kisses on the palms of each of my hands. “I want everyone here to see you the same way I do, to see how beautifully perfect you are, I saw how turned on you were against the window, with the idea of people watching you get fucked,” Dash tells me and he is right. As soon as his words left his mouth, the small device inside my pussy starts to vibrate and I let out a small squeal as I close my legs pressing my thighs together. “Do you
Grace POV“Where did you go the other night?” Hannah asks, and I can’t help but smile at the memory of the club’s opening night. I Haven’t had sex since that night. Dash is working every night and I am always busy during the day, so we have barely seen each other. I am always asleep when he comes in and he is asleep or already gone when I wake up.“I can’t tell,” I say, winking, and she rolls her eyes as she smiles while Jamie puts her phone on the table after replying to a text message.“Amber is on her way,” she says and the fun we were having disappears and the air becomes thicker. “You two need to sort it out. We can’t keep going like this,” Jamie says, and I nod. I know I can be very judgemental and after what happened a few nights ago, I learned to let go of my prejudice a little.Jamie and Hannah stand a few minutes la
Dash POV“What the fuck were you thinking?” Wyatt shouts, and Jagger shakes his head as he looks at me. I take a deep breath, crossing my leg over my knee and lace my fingers, resting them over my stomach. I watch as Wyatt paces around the room like a fucking lunatic and Jagger stays still. I knew this was gonna come back to bite me in the fucking ass, but I needed the intel. “And you…” he says, pointing at Jagger, who raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “Careful,” Jagger warns our best friend as his rage takes over. I knew Wyatt was going to lose his shit as soon as he found out Jagger tortured the poor bastard we have in the holding cells but what he doesn’t understand is that while he’s been playing house I had to deal with the shit happening around us. “You should’ve come to me,” Wyatt says, looking at Jagger and then at me. I look at my hands and when Wyatt calms the fuck down, I raise my eyes to meet his, ready to explain. “We couldn’t. You were busy, and it was something that ne
Grace POVMy mother’s words invade my thoughts for the rest of the day. My dad having an affair is something I never imagined possible, but then again, I never imagined he would try to sell me to the highest bidder to pay for his own lifestyle. “Grace?” I hear Jamie say and I raise my eyes to meet her and she frowns. “Are you listening?” She asks, and I shake my head slightly. “Sorry, I’ve got a lot on my mind,” I say, and Hannah takes a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose. I look at her and she shakes her head. I can see anger plastered all over her beautiful features and I raise my eyebrows, questioning her. “What?” I let out. “I understand why Amber is so annoyed. You don’t even care to listen to us,” she says as Jamie looks at her, shaking her head and holding Hannah’s hand, trying to calm her down. “Wow,” I let out under my breath. “Don’t hold back on what you really feel,” I say, and Hannah shakes her head, pointing at me. “Don’t turn this on us, Grace.” She says
Grace POV“I can’t believe you did all of this,” I say as I walk further into the apartment to find a dog bed, water and food bowls, and toys. Everything Crow will ever need is there. Dash takes care of everything. Dash looks at me, smiling with his hands in his pockets and that’s when I notice Crow sitting next to Dash with his head up, staring at him and his tail wiggling. “I think he likes you,” I say, and Dash rolls his eyes and then looks down at Crow and shakes his head. “Go to Grace, come on, fuck off,” Dash says, pointing at me, but Crow sees it as if he is going to stroke him. Crow stands on his back legs supporting his front ones on Dash’s stomach and Dash takes one step back. “Hey, you listen to me, just because I brought you to live with us, doesn’t mean I suddenly like dogs, so go to Grace, she’s the one that likes you,” Dash says but Crow sees it as a game of catch and follows Dash as he moves around the living room.“I really hate this dog,” Dash says, shoving his hand
Grace POV“The problem is…” he stops talking and I stay silent waiting for the rest, “I want you Grace, I want the kids, the family, the house with the fucking white picket fence but I can’t do it, it wouldn’t be fair to you, to drag you into my life,” he finally says after a few agonizing minutes in silence. My heart skips a beat and I stay still as he looks into my eyes as if trying to read what is going on inside my head, but right now there’s nothing there. My brain has gone blank and I don’t even know what to think. “I never wanted anyone the way I want you, Grace, the way you looked at me the first time I saw you.” He tells me. “When I saw that guy on you, something in me made me take you away, I never believed in love at first sight but after seeing you in that party I had to give in,” Dash says taking one step closer to me but I don’t move. I feel like my feet are stuck to the floor, not letting me move from here. Neither away nor to him. “You entered my life like a fucking
