Nathaniel Underwood woke up with an aching pain in his back and sides. Above his head, the white ceiling of the five-star posh hotel greeted him. On the walls hung a painting of a sunset. Hearing her soft breaths next to him was enough to remind him of what had happened the night before.
Like the other gigolos in the Mysterious Club, they tasked him with fulfilling a particular female guest. Out of ten other gigolos, that red-headed wealthy woman had picked him. He hadn’t expected her to have an insatiable appetite, nor had he anticipated the bite mark she left on his neck.
Last night had been the most exhausting night he had ever experienced with a client. As much as it was exhilarating, he felt as if something had torn his soul out of his body. Never, for once in the three months of being in the trade, had he ever suffered such a demanding client.
She let out a soft moan as he gently pushed her aside and got out of bed. Just what time was it? He groaned as he searched anxiously for his clothes and slipped them on. A gold watch with his initials dangled from the corner of a desk. He grabbed it and put it on as well, glancing at the face of the watch to tell the time.
Goodness! The time for his next client was in an hour. He hurriedly entered the bathroom to get ready quickly.
The sight of his reflection in the mirror shocked him.
“What in the world?” He almost screamed.
That didn’t look like an ordinary bite mark. It was as if some beast had clawed on his neck with extremely sharp talons. There was no way he was going on his next ‘date’ looking like that.
What should he do now?
His instinct told him he had to get out of there as soon as possible. While the wound wouldn’t heal in a short while, he needed to hide it as much as he could.
He still had bills and a house mortgage to pay off.
When he exited the bathroom, it appalled him to realise that the woman he had serviced last night had arisen, and was walking around the room in a daze.
She had swept her crimson hair around her naked shoulders glamorously, and her face carried a bright shine.
“Who are you?” She looked mystified to see him in the room with her.
“I’m Nathaniel. I mean, I’m the gigolo you chose last night.” He answered truthfully, unable to keep his eyes off her. What kind of woman looked so captivating even after a night of wild passion? Her morning look was definitely a soul-stealer. If not that he was a gigolo and she was the client, he swore he could have made another go with her.
“Oh? If that’s right, then you can leave now. I’m very busy.”
She pointed towards the door.
What? She was definitely straightforward! But kicking him out after having a night of passion? That was totally unheard of! Most of his clients had always requested for him to continue his services for a day, but not this one!
"Hmmm?" She placed her hands on her bare hips. "Do I need to repeat myself?"
Her authoritative side was intriguing. He felt drawn to her, as if she had some power over him.
Regardless, he needed to go. Perhaps he could find some way to hide the mark on his neck. For now, he had it hidden well with a collar that he folded upwards.
"As you wish, ma'am. But please, let me grab my phone first and check on my payment."
He had left his cell phone on his side of the bed. As a gigolo registered on the eGigolo platform in Neon, it ensured that clients made a payment of his services in advance. But he needed to ensure that she had paid.
She sneered and leaned back in the plush chair in the suite. "Since when did I ever default on any payment?"
"Since now."
He flashed his cell phone screen before the naked redhead. The smirk on her face turned to that of annoyance. He had opened on the screen of his cell phone, the payment window of the eGigolo app.
It indicated he had received a payment of zero for his services yesterday.
"Are you kidding me?"
He smiled coolly. "Like you, I don't have so much free time on my hands. I have another rich widow to handle next."
"Wait. I'll transfer the money to you now. There must be a misunderstanding. I am sure I've paid Madam McLean.."
He shook his head with a laugh. "How can you place me with McLean's little boys? I am Nathaniel Woods, an independent male escort."
"Don't waste my time. Give me your contact number for me to do an online funds transfer now."
She looked cross. He couldn't help thinking how sexy she looked while angry, and took his sweet time to key in his number into the contacts of her cPhone. He even saved his number in her phone as "Sexy Nat At Your Service".
"Thank you Madam for your patronage. Call me if you need any further servicing," he teased her with a curtsey. "I hope my performance last night pleased you."
While he was teasing her, some red stains on the pale sheets caught his attention. He eyed the woman strangely, but she avoided his gaze.
"Transfer done. I hope I don't see you again."
That desirable woman who had moaned so loudly last night that he thought the other patrons of the hotel floor could hear her turned out to be a virgin?
She had been such a wildcat that it made him pound inside her roughly. She had retaliated by scratching him on his back and biting him on his neck. But for a virgin to be this wild? It was like striking a jackpot for him. Virgins in Neon were as rare as a pearl in the wild.
Hiding his excitement, he exited the suite, beaming silently at his finding.
She would soon look him up, and it wouldn't be many days later. As he had received the funds she had transferred into his account, he had her number now. They wouldn't remain strangers.
And she seemed like a really wealthy lady. She looked just a little older than him. Just a few more times and he could bid this horrible job goodbye.
He was even more scheming than he appeared to be. For every client he took on, he always prepared himself to have something in hand to seduce them for a second opportunity with him. And each time he met with a client for the second time, he would increase his price using valid reasons, until they eventually stopped calling on him. By then, he would have got what he needed from that client, and would move on to the next.
But for this fiery lady who turned out to be a virgin last night, he had a bigger plan. And that was to blackmail her with a video of their sex last night.
His phone suddenly started beeping with an unsaved number on the line.
It turned out his girlfriend, Regina, was back from another of her long trips for work. He decided that she likely wouldn't stay in Neon much longer this time.
And he had a client to attend to in fifteen minutes.
Alyssa twirled a long strand of her crimson locks around her index finger on her dominant hand, watching the gigolo exit her luxurious hotel room.She was sure that he would be back soon, she thought with an arrogant smile as she observed her naked figure in the mirror of the bathroom.Yesterday night turned out to be more gratifying than she had thought, even if it was her first time. She had made use of his well-honed skills. In fact, it had even unleashed the Kraken inside her.But why did she feel something was a bit odd with this man? When he had left, it gave her an uneasy sensation. It was like something was missing from her. She had even sensed her own wetness in his presence, which she loathed.She, Alyssa Dawson, would never need a man. She was better off depen
Nathaniel stepped into the elevator and clicked on the twelfth floor. This was where he lived in that crusty old apartment with Regina White, his fiancee.Regina had been his old-time girlfriend, a travelling journalist but with her high maintenance, considering how much she spent on designer clothes and makeup wouldn’t pay the bills. He had mortgaged some old properties from his parents, his inheritance so they could buy a bigger home.Right now, the apartment they lived in belonged to her stepbrother, Sirius White. He didn’t know much about her brother other than that his mother was dead and his father married her mother. Her decision to take on her stepfather’s surname was a conscious one that she made in order to cut ties with her irresponsible biological father, also a gambler.Nathaniel
Back in her office, Alyssa straightened her wig and switched on the notebook in front of her. The Sunday was over and she had a good night’s rest. Now, it was time for her to return to action after recharging.She took her rimmed spectacles out of its case and placed them on her nose.There was a knock on the door.“Come in,” she said in a confident voice. It turned out to be Joyce Dean, head of human resources. Joyce had recently taken on the position. Alyssa only dealt with head of departments, and rarely did regular employees have a chance to see her face to face.“What’s up?” she looked domineeringly towards the woman. Joyce seemed like a frightened mouse seeing a cat. Apparently, she had this effect on Jo
"George, how much longer do we have to do this?"Nathaniel couldn't keep up with his best friend's plan. He was anxious about the meeting later, although he was assured that the rich female would go along with his game.Suddenly, he received a call from George, who wanted him to join him in a strike against AD Systems, where they had both been retrenched three months ago. Like him, George could not secure a new job with other companies. George was a nerd and a hilarious sidekick. They had gone through a lot together in their short tenure with the company.Unlike Nat whose craftiness led him to have an edge over the older wealthy women he provided his services to, George was humble and honest. But today, for George to insist on a strike against the company was completely beyond Nat. He wouldn't say anything to defame the company and neither would he employ his wondrous techniques to hack into the company's systems to get his well-deserved revenge. Nat couldn't get what was on his best
Waiting in the vacant hotel room actually put Alyssa Dawson in more suspense than ever. She had discarded her no-nonsense CEO disguise and reverted to her lusty self. Fifteen more minutes. Her wolf Aria was restless and so was she. She couldn’t wait until that idiot came, and then-And then- The words were jammed in her mind. While she was figuring out how she should punish the man for daring to blackmail her, she suddenly sensed Aria’s presence. She then realised Aria was speaking to her. “You and him already have a bond.”“What do you mean, a bond?” She mentally conversed with her wolf. “He’s just this one-night-stand I paid to relieve me of my virginity!”“And then what happened? Are you in denial?”“Me, in denial?”“You know what you’re thinking. We need him.”Need? Alyssa huffed. She needed a man? Over her dead body!“Alyssa, don’t you remember what happened that night? Think carefully,” she heard Aria’s calm voice speaking from within her. She fidgeted with her hair and her he
“Satisfying?”Nat grinned cheekily. The woman under him writhed and attempted to pull away, but he saw her fail miserably. That, he attributed to his handsome self that made the elder clients fawn over him, but with Miss Wealthy, it was a different scenario.She was the first woman who had even traded her virginity for a night of passion, and even paid him handsomely for it. Best of all, she appeared to be single and had more money than she even needed. The perfect client.Be her exclusive gigolo? Those words were music to his ears. But he could earn way more than what he asked of her, if it even bothered him to. The fact Regina was back and that he had markings he had to make significant efforts to keep hidden, made this not an option. Instead, her offer was tempting. He observed her bright red silky locks, followed by her smooth, flawless skin and the roundness of her bottom.This was a sight he would never get bored with watching, even for a hundred years.He thought of the times
“Uh, that was wild.”They stared at the broken desk in front of them. The wood had split right in the middle and scattered the items originally placed on top of it over the floor. The drinking glasses had shattered into a dozen fragments, and the room was now in such a disorderly state.Nathaniel hadn’t asked what happened. He looked confused, but he remained nonchalant. He remained where he was standing, rooted to the ground.Alyssa just straightened her dishevelled hair and strode over to the sofa without bothering to say a word. She knew he was watching her and how cool she was after that wolf-howl and one of the wildest sexcapades she ever had. He was what she called her first experience with a man, and it would not be her last. Now that he was exclusive to her, she would summon him whenever and wherever she wanted.Aria’s restlessness told her the bond wasn’t that simple. She gravely told Alyssa that they needed the man, regardless of who he was, and that their bond was crucial t
After the fast humping, Nathaniel headed back home, assured that he had done a great job with Ari Donna. Fortunately, his home wasn’t too far away from the Sky Gardens Hotels. His decade-old boxy Buchmeyer salon car slowed down at the traffic light just outside their shared apartment.He heard his phone ring, and when he answered, he almost flew into a panic.It wasn’t like Regina to be so panicky. Something wasn’t right. It had to be. Regina couldn’t even pronounce a single word properly. Her pulse was racing so hard that it made him worry.What the heck was going on? “I’ll be there in a jiffy.” He ended the call without waiting for her to answer.If he knew, he would have rushed over immediately. But Ari Donna’s hot curves and tight hole were more than he could wish for. If only he could have more.But one night out with her was just too much for him to handle. She was just as lusty as she was fascinating, and he wondered what was the secret to getting her wrapped around his finger
