One Night Only

  "I'm going to get my cock wet in your pussy, and then you're going to come for me," he said. "And while you're still coming, I'm going to slide it into that tight ass of yours."

  I almost shattered right then, his promise so sweet and so perfect. With the rare exception, I didn't want or need gentle, and tonight wasn't an exception. I wanted whatever he gave me, and I knew it would be what I needed as well.

  "All right, sweetheart." The head of his cock pushed against my entrance, and I shifted my hips, desperate to have him inside me.

  I moaned as he entered me, my body stretching around him. I was so close, but I fought it back. One of Jace's favorite things to do was take me to the edge of orgasm and keep me there, forbidding me to come until he gave permission. The punishments when I failed were almost as delicious as the rewards, but I wasn't going to fail today. No, when he spent himself inside me and we were curled up in the nearby armchair, I'd tell him what I'd been waiting for the perfect moment to reveal.

  "Come."

  My body tightened as he drove deep and held himself there, the angle keeping him pressed against my g-spot as I climaxed. I called out his name, my hand slapping against the window as my breathing stuttered and my knees went weak.

  Then the finger that had been rubbing my clit was pushing into my ass and my vision went white.

  "Easy, baby."

  Jace wrapped his arm around my waist, holding me steady even as he slid his cock out of my pussy and worked a second finger into my ass. The sounds I made weren't words, but Jace and I had been together long enough now that I knew he could read my body, if not my mind.

  "Let's have a seat."

  I barely registered his words before he was moving us to the chair without missing a single thrust and twist of his fingers. Then he was sitting down and moving me so that my suddenly empty ass was positioned over his cock. My muscles were quivering, barely able to hold me, but he had me, just like always. As he lowered me onto his thick shaft, a strangled groan escaped. My hands shook as I grabbed onto his forearms, digging in my nails as the familiar but still overwhelming sensation of burning pain and pleasure raced across my nerves, invading every cell.

  "Lean back."

  My thighs came to rest on his as I took the last pulsing inch inside me, and I let him pull me back, changing the angle to something new. I fought to keep my eyes open, watching our dim reflection in the glass as he spread my legs. I flushed, but it was more arousal than embarrassment. My pussy was glistening and pink, my ass stretched wide around his cock. My nipples were hard and swollen, my throat and shoulder marked by Jace's teeth and mouth.

  "So fucking hot," he murmured in my ear. He began to move slowly, a hand moving between my legs again to tease my clit as he made short thrusts into my ass. It wasn't hard or fast, but there was nothing gentle about it either.

  "You're hot," I said, the words coming out as moans. "And I love you."

  "I love you too." He caught my chin with his free hand and turned my head to take my mouth.

  I could feel another orgasm coming, and when he slid his tongue along mine, I moved my hips against his hand and then back to take him as deep into my ass as I could. He growled my name, then bit my bottom lip. The sharp pain tipped me over and I didn't wait for permission as I gave myself over to the pleasure.

  I rode the wave as he played my body, taking me further and higher until he stiffened beneath me. He mumbled something against my skin as his cock throbbed and emptied inside me.

  It wasn't until later, when I was in his arms, a blanket wrapped around us both, that I realized it was the perfect time to share my news. Before I could, however, Jace reached for something on the small chair side table.

  "I meant it," he said, his voice hoarse and raw. "What I asked before, when I came."

  I gave him a puzzled look. "I didn't hear you ask anything."

  Relief shone in his eyes, and he let out a long breath. "And here I thought you were just telling me no."

  "No?" I turned so I could look at him more easily, telling myself not to jump to any conclusions. "What, exactly, did you ask me, Jace?"

  He held up a small box and flipped it open. My heart jumped into my throat when I saw the elegant twisted band and the flower made of small but exquisite diamonds.

  "I asked if you would marry me."

  Tears I hadn't known were lurking spilled down my cheeks, and I blurted out my own news. "I'm pregnant."

  He dropped the box, then after a few long moments, took my face between his hands, expression earnest. "Say that again."

  I took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."

  "Oh, baby." His lips were soft against mine, and then his hand was on my stomach, the touch different than anything I'd felt before. He rested his forehead against mine. "Is that a yes, by the way?"

  I laughed and brushed my lips across his. "Yes, baby daddy. I'll marry you."

  He laughed in return, his arms tightening around mine. "Good, because I prefer to be called husband." His cock twitched underneath me as he gave me a hard kiss. "Now, how should we celebrate?"

  One

  The first time I felt his clammy hand on my tits, I chalked it up as a slip. After all, he'd been stuffing a dollar bill into my almost sheer bra. The second time, however, the bastard actually squeezed one of my boobs.

  “Ricky!” I yelled over the music.

  A massive man with no neck, and arms the size of my thighs lumbered over. I never knew how he heard us over the pounding bass, but Ricky never missed one of us girls calling for help.

  “All right, buddy.” He grabbed the guy by the scruff of the neck and gave me a nod as he dragged the drunk away.

  I made a mental note to thank Ricky after my set was done and then went back to shaking my tits and ass. That's what this was, after all. It wasn't dancing, not for real. It was getting away with pasties and g-string instead of full nudity just so I could call it exotic dancing rather than stripping. It was a thin line, I knew, but it helped me look at myself in the mirror with a tiny bit less disgust.

  As I peeled off the last item of my clothing – my barely-there bra – I heard the familiar cat-calls as my breasts came into view. I wasn't as big as most of the other girls, since at least seventy-five percent of them had gotten their busts enhanced to reach the in-demand double D's, but I was natural. I had an athlete's body with just enough extra on top to be annoying. Fortunately, it also meant that I had big enough boobs to work as a dancer when I hadn't been able to find anything else.

  Dancer… right.

  I bent down and gave the room a view of my swaying breasts and basically bare ass, and then flipped my hair up, letting the spotlight make the bright red waves look like dancing flames. Most everyone thought I dyed it to get that color, but it was all natural. I'd inherited it from my mother.

  The music ended as I reached my final pose and the men cheered, some simply yelling while others shouted propositions and what I supposed they considered compliments.

  “How much to fuck that ass?”

  “Damn, baby, you got me so hard.”

  “Shake it some more!”

  “Come give me a lap dance!”

  “I got a pole for you to dance on.”

  I smiled and gave them the ‘oh baby, you make me so wet’ look, then rolled my eyes as I walked off stage. Once I was out
of sight, I pulled the tight blouse back on just to give me coverage until I got to the locker where I'd left my real clothes. Aurora shook her head as she walked past me towards the stage. None of the others understood why I didn't just walk around half-naked like they did. I wasn't mean enough to tell them it was because I wasn't like them.

  “Good set.” A tall blonde dressed like a naughty nurse called over as I stopped by my locker.

  “Thanks, Tammy.” I started taking off what little was left of my costume. It had taken me two months to get used to changing in front of the others.

  “I noticed that you had a problem with one of the audience,” Tammy said.

  I nodded, grimacing as I pulled off the daffodil pasties I'd been wearing. I appreciated not having to bare all, but those things chafed the hell out of my nipples. I almost laughed. How pathetic that a couple half-dollar sized stickers and a piece of dental floss made me feel superior to anyone. I was just like all the other girls who’d come to Vegas with a dream and ended up shedding her clothes instead.

  “That's the third time this week Ricky's had to throw someone out for getting handsy.”

  “Really?” That was a bit surprising. The Twilight Room had a reputation as being one of the safest places for a girl to work. That had been my main reason for choosing it when it had become painfully obvious my dream of becoming a real dancer wasn't going to happen.

  Tammy came over to stand next to me as I pulled on my jeans. “There are some rumors going around that one of the other club owners is sending in people to stir things up.”

  “Who'd do that?” I asked as I pulled my t-shirt over my head.

  “Danny Whitehall, for one,” Tammy said.

  “Right.” I scowled. Danny owned a club a bit further down the strip and even though his girls did everything including the audience, he struggled to keep his doors open. Everyone knew he blamed The Twilight Room for ruining his business. Apparently, there was some history between him and Gino, the man who owned this club.

  “You coming out with us tonight?” Tammy asked.

  “Not tonight. Thanks.” At the end of every shift, she asked the same thing, and I always said the same thing back. I felt bad for never taking her up on her offer, but I wasn't exactly friends with any of the other girls, not enough to want to go get drinks.

  “Be safe,” she said as I walked away. I could feel her eyes on me and wondered, not for the first time, if Tammy had a crush on me. I knew she was a lesbian, but so were Faye and Deedee. They never stared at me like they were wondering what I tasted like.

  I grimaced as I stepped outside. We were in the middle of a heat wave that made the Nevada night unbearably oppressive. I would've been more comfortable in shorts or a skirt rather than jeans, but I'd learned early on that coming out of a strip club wearing something even the slightest bit revealing invited more comments from the men going in and out. With my hair in a sloppy ponytail, wearing regular clothes, they rarely noticed me, too intent on whatever they wanted to see or had already seen.

  I walked briskly down the brightly lit street, heading towards the apartment I called home.

  Home.

  Until two years ago, home had been Philadelphia, the city where I'd been born and raised. The city where I buried my mother after four years of illness. I'd waited tables for seven years, four during high school, three after, saving every penny I could to pay for dance school. Two years into my mom's illness, the job that had provided her health insurance finally figured out a way to fire her and my savings had been all we'd had to live on.

  I'd moved out here after she died, thinking a fresh start on the other side of the continent would be a good idea. I should have known better, nothing in my life had ever worked out and this grand plan wasn’t an exception. So here I am, stuck, barely making rent, much less earning enough money to move back, even if I'd wanted to.

  And I didn't want to. Philadelphia may have held a lot of great memories, but it also held painful ones.

  I was almost to my place when my phone rang. I sighed, hoping it wasn't the club calling me to work a double. Maybe it was just my roommate, Rosa, letting me know she wouldn't be home tonight. It wasn't either one.

  “Anastascia?” I didn't try to hide my surprise. Anastascia Galaway had been my best friend in Philadelphia, my only school friend really. She was the only person from back East who bothered to keep in touch since I moved. She'd also been the one who'd given me strength during those four terrible years. Especially the last few, even worse, weeks.

  “Hey there, stranger!” Chipper as always. “I just got back from Paris and had to give you a call.”

  If it had been anyone else casually dropping that they'd been in Paris, I'd have said they were bragging. Anastascia wasn't like that though. She'd never been like that. My first day at St. George's, a very expensive private high school in the Chestnut Hill district, had been miserable up to my last class when I'd met her. I'd endured the whispers and the not-so-subtle stares, refusing to give any of them the satisfaction of seeing me cry. By the end of the day, I'd been ready to crack when a stuck-up blonde bitch made some comment about taking out the trash. I’d almost lost it when this tall girl with caramel-colored skin and wild black curls came over and saved my life.

  “You sound like you enjoyed your trip,” I said, snapping back to the present.

  “It was amazing. You really have to come with me to Europe sometime.”

  “Sure, as soon as pigs fly and hell freezes over,” I replied. “I can barely afford my rent.” I changed the subject before she could offer to loan me money. I loved that she was generous, but I hated feeling like I owed anyone anything. “What are you doing up this late?”

  “Still on French time, darling,” she said. “I'm a combined seven hours ahead, which means it's almost eight in the morning for me.”

  I laughed. “All right then. What are you doing calling me at eight in the morning?”

  “I just wanted to make sure you were planning on coming to our reunion this weekend.”

  I sighed. I'd completely forgotten about it. No, that was a lie. I'd made myself forget about it. “Why would I want to go back to a place where no one wanted me in the first place?”

  “Come on, Piper, it'll be fun,” she begged. I could almost see the pouty look she'd be trying to use to guilt me into coming. “We can see who didn't lose the freshman fifteen and who's already divorced.”

  “You can do that reading the society section,” I reminded her.

  “Well, you don't have a choice,” she said.

  “Excuse me?”

  “I've already bought you a ticket. You leave Friday evening and I'll pick you up at the airport.”

  I stopped in front of my apartment building. “What? No. But,” I stammered, then sighed. “I don't really have a choice, do I?”

  “Nope.”

  Even as much as I hated the idea of seeing all those people again, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of seeing my best friend. I missed her terribly, the one person in the world who really cared for me. I realized I would ensure just about anything to see her again.

  Plus, it wouldn't be hard to get a few days off. I could pull some double shifts to cover the missed time. Before thinking too much about it, I agreed, “I'll be there.”

  Anastascia was still squealing when I hung up.

  Two

  My chest was starting to tighten as I stepped into the terminal. I scanned the waiting crowd, looking for a familiar face, but wasn't really surprised when I didn't see one. My flight had actually arrived on time and Anastascia was chronically late. I decided it would make more sense for me to get my bags, then head toward the entrance and wait for her. I could call her on the way and let her know to look for me there.

  I'd only gone a few steps past the next gate when something hard ran into me, almost knocking me to the ground. I heard a deep voice utter an oath and then a pair of strong hands caught me. It all happened so fast I'd barely started processing the fall
before I was in some stranger's embrace.

  I tilted my head back to get a better look at who was holding me. He was tall, well over six feet, with messy, golden blond hair and a pair of eyes so dark they almost appeared to be black.

  I knew those eyes.

  I absorbed the rest of his features. Handsome, with features that toed the line between pretty and masculine. Lips almost too full for a man, but not quite. A small, thin scar ran through the bottom one. A scar he'd gotten three weeks into my freshman year at St. George's.

  Reed Stirling was three years older than me and, aside from Anastascia, had been the nicest person at school. I'd watched him step between a bully and his victim, and I'd never forgotten it. He'd even talked to me once or twice, though only to say hello. I'd had a crush on him for years even though I'd known I'd never had a chance.

  The Stirlings were old money, the kind who'd had an apartment in the city worth millions, as well as a house in Chestnut Hill near the school. They'd also owned a vineyard in Italy and a villa in France, or something like that.

  “I'm so sorry.”

  Reed's voice brought me back to the present. Under his tan, I could see his cheeks turning red. I took a step back, taking a deep breath to regain my composure.

  “It's okay,” I said. “No harm done.”

  I looked up at him again, unable to stop the twinge of disappointment when I saw no recognition in his face. It wasn't surprising, not really. The two of us hadn't had any classes together and we hadn't been friends. His sister and I hadn't been friends either...

  “Reed!”

  I winced as I heard an all-too familiar squeal. I took another step back as my former classmate threw herself into her brother's arms.

  I loathed Rebecca Stirling.

  As she released her brother, I turned to go, but I was too late to avoid being recognized.
