“What the fuck was that?” Devyn thinks to herself as soon as she leaves The Rabbit Hole. Her future boss was a fucking pervert! She gets a chill down her spine, thinking about the way he looked at her while he had that girl on her knees. As dangerously gorgeous as Kieran Teague was, she would stay out of his way.
She knew she wouldn’t have come here if she wasn’t desperate enough. At least she would just be dancing. Half naked dancing, nonetheless. Men always stared at her as if she was half-naked anyway, so this time she would make them pay for it.
Driving away from the strip club, her mind drifts to Nathan and his behavior a few days ago. He still had not contacted her since their exchange outside the apartment, and she started wondering if it wasn’t for the best.
He would probably not like the fact that she was now working at a BDSM strip club. But with the way he acted, she had already resolved to let him go. She lived for years with her father abusing her mother. Alana Reilly had been as beautiful as her daughter, but she had chosen an abusive man as a life partner. She never escaped, so Devyn did.
As she pulls into her parking garage, she spots a familiar car. “Oh, shit.” She muttered as Nathan stepped out of it. She had nothing to say to him and wished to rather not see him right now.
He strode towards her, “Dev, please,” he starts, “we need to talk.”
Devyn glared up at him and huffed silently, “No, Nathan. I have nothing to say to you.” She said and tried to walk away, but he grabbed her wrists.
“No, I am not leaving until you hear me out.”
She sighed and gently pulled her wrists away from him, “Okay, 5 minutes.” She responded and crossed her arms in front of her. “Can we go inside?” He asked and she shook her head, “Rather not, Nathan.”
He nods and clears his throat, “Dev, my behavior the other night was uncalled for. I wanted to turn around as soon as I walked away, but I knew you wouldn’t want to see me again.” He sighed and took her hands in his again, “I am so sorry for what I’ve said. I have hurt you and I don’t expect forgiveness. But please realize that I am deeply sorry for hurting you. I love you so much and I am so scared of losing you.” He gets down on one knee and Devyn feels her heart sinking. Oh no.
He pulls out a black velvet box, “Dev, this is sudden, but will you make me the happiest man on earth by marrying me?”
“Fuck. Oh fuck, oh no. I cannot marry this man. I will end up like my mother.”
She knew what he expected her to say. He wanted a yes, but she wasn’t sure she wanted him in her life anymore. She could not trust Nathan, he proved that the last time she saw him. He opened the box, and she spied a golden ring with an enormous diamond in the middle. This was definitely not her style, not at all.
Frowning down at him, she starts, “Nathan, please get up,” she saw the anger flashing in his eyes when he got up, but she remained impassive. “I can’t marry you, Nathan. Not after what you said the other evening and how you treated me. I don’t think we can make this work, especially not after I know how you really see me.”
Nathan pocketed the velvet box and took a step towards her, gripping her upper arms. He closed his eyes but when he looked at her again, he was bristling with rage. “You do know you’re making a huge mistake, right?” He spat out, squeezing her arms. She flinched at the pain.
So this was the real Nathan.
She snapped out of her fear and raised her leg, colliding with his crotch. He doubled over with pain, and she took the opportunity to run up the stairs. “Fucking slut!” She heard him behind her but didn’t dare to look back.
When she reached her apartment, she slammed the door behind her and locked it. Then she ran towards the window and watched until she saw Nathan’s car drive away.
“What the fuck, Dev?” She heard Clarissa’s voice behind her and spun around. The fear was evident in her eyes and knew Clarissa spotted it. “Nathan…” Devyn breathed out and walked towards their sofa. She sat down and put her head in her hands. Clarissa took the spot next to her.“Babe, what happened?” She asked, concern in the tone of her voice.
Devyn looked at her and told her what happened in the parking lot. “Nathan cornered me in the basement parking lot. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him with the most disgusting ring I have ever seen. When I said no, he grabbed my arms and threatened me.” She said, rubbing the part where he grasped her. When she looked down, she knew it would bruise blue by this evening. “I kneed him in the balls and ran up the stairs.”
Clarissa smiled at this but knew Nathan would try something again. “Dev, you might have to get a restraining order against him.” She said, "He won't stop."Devyn snorted and shook her head, “Nathan has money and would probably pay my people off and make me look like the desperate one.” She said sadly and ran her fingers through her hair.
“I am not ending up like my mother. I refuse to submit to a man just because he has money and status.”Clarissa nodded at this and smiled at her friend. “I am so proud of you, Dev. You are definitely no pushover. Nathan needs to be put in his place.” She said and Devyn agreed.
Then her head whips up, and she gives Clarissa a smile, “So, colleague. Do you mind going shopping for sexy clothes with me?” She asked with a grin and Clarissa’s eyes widened. “No way!” She cried out and gave a squeal, “You went? How did it go?”
Devyn thought back to her new boss and the look he gave her when he had another girl on his knees and shivered, “First shift is at 8 pm tonight. I had the pleasure of meeting your boss as well.”
Clarissa’s eyebrows shot up at this, “Kieran was there?” She asked with a frown. Devyn nodded, “Yup, interviewed me with a dirty blonde on her knees, giving him the blowjob of a lifetime.” She said, and Clarissa rolled her eyes at this.
“Ugh, that’s Marley. The only person he fucks. She has this idea that she’s royalty because the boss only takes her to the rooms. Do yourself a favor and stay out of her way or she will make your working there a living hell. Especially if she thinks the boss has eyes for you.”
“Well, he was literally eye-fucking me while he had her on her knees, it was unsettling.” Devyn said with a quiver up her spine, “He can fucking pin you with a stare, I couldn’t wait to get out of there.” She concluded.Clarissa stared at her with an odd expression. “All the more reason to stay out of their way.” She said and Devyn nodded, “Way ahead of you. I decided to stay clear as soon as I left.”
Clarissa smiled, “Good. You said shopping?” she added and shot up from the sofa. Devyn giggled and got up as well.“Yeah, I own nothing that screams BDSM stripper.” She said, and Clarissa laced her arm with Devyn’s. “Come, I know the perfect store. Let’s go shopping for slutty clothes.” She replied and Devyn felt a bit more relaxed. Only Clarissa could make shopping for revealing clothes seem like it was the most natural thing in the world.
While they were driving, Clarissa gave her the ins and outs of the club. The regulars, the terms, and lingo, who was who and who to stay clear of. “If you have a problem, you need to bring it up with Ross. He usually tries to sort it out, and if not, he brings Kieran in. They take care of us girls. Rabbit Hole really is not a dive, they run it really well and Kieran treats us with respect.” Clarissa was telling her, much to Devyn’s curiosity. She made Kieran seem like a saint.
She brought them to what looked like a goth clothing store and made her try on a few outfits before settling on them. She was now in possession of three latex dresses, 2 latex hot pants, a black corset, and a lace-up latex fishnet halter top. Devyn felt uncomfortable buying these, but as soon as she tried them on at home, she felt surprisingly … good.
Devyn opted for the latex zip-up dress with bondage straps and 7-inch Pleaser heels. She got herself ready at 7 pm and walked into the lounge area.“Lots of baby powder for chafing, don’t forget!” Clarissa reminds her as she wandered naked through the apartment. Devyn laughed at her boldness, “What? We’re both strippers now, might as well show the goods.” She said with a shake of her hips and Devyn shook her head while laughing.
She looked at herself in the mirror again and could not believe she was going through with this, but reminded herself it would be temporary.
“Okay, ready to go?” Clarissa said after half an hour and Devyn nods. Time to make good on her promise to the Devil.
“Okay, Dev, you can do this,” Devyn mutters to herself when they come to a halt outside The Rabbit Hole. She glances up at the place and feels her stomach churning. Are these nerves? Is this what nerves felt like?Devyn looks over at Clarissa, “I think I’m a bit nervous.” She admitted and Clarissa nodded, “If you weren’t nervous, I would be concerned.” She replied as they got out of the car, “On my first night I almost lost my balance on stage, luckily the pole was there!” Clarissa finished and Devyn felt herself pale.“Not helping, Clary!” She grumbles and sees her friend’s amused face.Then Clarissa straightens her back and looks at Devyn, “Babe, this is where it gets tricky.” She starts, “You need to walk in there like you’re the shit and they came out just to see you dance. Head in the air like you’re some kind of fucking queen. Don’t take shit f
As soon as Devyn took centre stage, all eyes were on her. Kieran watched her dance with a morbid fascination. The way she was swinging her hips left him with a hunger he never knew he possessed.She closed her eyes while she danced, swaying her body to the rhythm. The other dancers did not pull in him, Marley was a means to an end, a hunger that needed to be sated now and then. But she could never make him feel what Devyn did when she swayed her hips.Then she undid the lace in front of her top, and her gorgeous tits spilled out for every salivating asshole in the club. This pissed him off for reasons he could not explain. She was a stripper; it required her to strip naked, but Kieran didn’t want anyone to see her like this. It pissed him off.Devyn intrigued him, that much he would admit. But what was this fierce possessiveness he felt towards her? He breathed a sigh of relief as her dance ended, but did not expect the applause that followed her. She flashe
Devyn stared at his back as he left the room. She looked down at the card Kieran had just given her and wondered what game he was playing with her. Why did he want to help her if he barely knew her or her story? She pockets the card, putting Kieran Teague out of her mind, and heads out of the dressing room.Clarissa grabbed her arm as soon as she stepped towards the bar, “I am so sorry, Dev. I saw him and freaked!” She said, looking sincere. Devyn laughed and pulled her into a hug, “It’s okay, Clary. He didn’t fire me at least.” She replied to her friend’s apology. Clarissa breathed a sigh of relief then frowned, “What did he want, anyway?” she asked, the curiosity all over her face.Devyn shrugged, “Hell if I know. He seems to enjoy making me uncomfortable though, not sure what it is about me.” She replied and wondered that herself. Clarissa eyed her with suspicion, which made her laugh. “No, real
Devyn has just completed her first dance and ended it off with Kieran pinning her with a gaze. According to the other ladies, Kieran hardly ever used to come to the club in the evenings, unless it was to take Marley to his private booth.It secretly bothered her that he had been here every night to watch her. He would only stay for her first dance, then he would leave. The staring itself she was used to, it was the way he stared at her that gave her goosebumps.Pure unadulterated lust and everyone saw it.She shimmies off the stage, then heads to the dressing rooms to freshen up and fix her makeup. It was the day before her performance at Siren Song, and she was a nervous wreck. Ross gave her off until 12 am because she was popular with the patrons and they would request her.She had agreed because she loved singing so much.Approaching the dressing room, she hears voices inside and sighs. It was Marley complaining again. “Kieran has been in
KieranHe watched her racing up the stairs and felt a pull in his chest. What was it about this woman that had him lusting like a fucking teenage boy? Ever since she appeared in his club, he hasn’t been able to think straight. He even offered to make her his, and she turned him down.Shaking his head, he walked back inside the club and immediately rounded the corner straight into his sub, Marley. She flashed him a knowing smile, but he just pushed her to the side.Then he got an idea.“Room, now.” He ordered and saw her perk up instantly. Maybe a good fuck would pull his mind out of the fog that Devyn put him under. Marley and her willing body usually made him cool off.He turned towards the private rooms and spotted Devyn out of the corner of his eye. She was busy speaking to a man, and he had his arm around her waist, but from this angle, it looked as if he was grasping her a bit too rough. This caused him to frown; c
DevynDevyn watches Kieran’s back as he walks away after kissing her, then slides down onto the floor in shock. Why did he have to do that? Why did he have to complicate things further, just when she found a semblance of happiness and belonging? She wonders if she really provoked this attraction as he claimed. After they met in the alley, she couldn’t get him out of her head, especially after he had stood so close to her.When she saw him walking out of the rooms, their eyes met and she held his gaze as she danced. Not once did he break the connection. When she concluded her dancing, she realized that the entire room must have seen this exchange. Marley would certainly kill her after this, this was why she had left so abruptly.Running her fingers through her thick red curls, she stood up. “I can’t be here,” she says out loud and walks towards Ross’ office.After telling him she was feeling sick and tha
Devyn Devyn has been awake since 6 am, staring at her bedroom ceiling. Tonight was her performance at The Siren Song, and she felt surprisingly confident about it. Singing was her life, she didn’t care about ‘making it’ as a famous singer’ she just wanted to perform for people. Being on stage was like a drug to her, which is why she enjoyed dancing at The Rabbit Hole. She was essentially ‘performing’. She drags herself out of bed and runs her fingers through her hair as she walks towards the kitchen for some coffee. She had a pretty good feeling about tonight, for some reason she felt as if it would change her life. Shaking her head with a smile, she pours herself a cup of freshly roasted coffee. Clarissa must have been up early to make this. As she sat down, her thoughts go back to the conversation she had with Clarissa the previous evening. She knew her happiness did not lay at The Rabbit Hole or with Kieran Teague, but knew she had to make
Light applause follows Devyn as she leaves the stage and heads towards the bar counter, keeping her head down. The man she had tried to keep out of her mind was here and had watched her performance with a look of wonder in his eyes.Why was Kieran here? And why had he looked at her like that?“One glass of wine, please.” She orders before taking a seat on the barstool and rubs her temples. Her performance had gone smoothly, and she was happy with the whole gig, but the way it ended left her with knots in her stomach.“Devyn,” she hears the voice of Ian behind her and turns around, only to stare straight into the face of Kieran. “See, I told you she was amazing,” Ian says and nudges him lightly.“She was exquisite,” Kieran replies softly, pinning her with his lust-filled gaze once more. The realization hits her like a ton of bricks; Kieran was Ian’s boss!“This is your boss?” She asks
