chapter 6

Later that night, I ajusted my the black domino and left the restaurant after he left me hanging. I called for a taxi and got into it and instructed the driver to take me home. When I was in the taxi I remembered about what Daniel said to me this morning. According to Daniel, they were shutting down one of the hottest clubs for the night to accommodate the party. He asked me to come with him there. I don't know how he got the ticket because not many people could do that. It would take a considerable amount of money. Which was why the invite Daniel got was the hottest ticket in town. I bought a mask on the way.

So I thought why waste the ticket when my date didn't last long. so, I called him telling I was interested to go. And asked him to meet me infront of the club. I instructed the driver to take me the club rather than home. I reached the club before Daniel and waited for him on the entrance.

"Stop fidgeting," Daniel murmured from behind me. He reached out and squeezed me from behind.

The touch made me jolt. I jumped at the touch scared thinking who was it. There was a certain intimacy that came from being hugged from behind. The kiss between me and Zen came into my thoughts. I moved away.

"What?" He asked to me as I turned around.

"You startled me", I answered"

"So are you excited?"

"Ya" looking a little tensed.

"Are you alright? You seem tensed"

"No I'm just a little excited. This is the first time I'm ever going to something like this".

Daniel snorted. "Surely you've gone to a party before."

"Yeah, but nothing like this. Look It doesn't crumple. Isn't that the coolest thing?"

"Beside you look so cute" he added.

"Well sue me for wanting to be good at what I do." I said with a grin on my face.

In no time, we slided into the party.

They approached a large black man wearing an impeccably tailored suit and a red demon half-mask. Daniel handed him the invite. The man took out a lighter and set a corner on fire.

The big man stepped aside and waved us in. Daniel gave him a nod then led the way. Afraid of getting lost, and totally not wanting to be alone, I trailed behind him closely. The double doors were opened by two women dressed in lingerie. They took their coats and gestured for them to continue on down a red lit corridor to another door.

"What exactly is this party again?" I whispered as I walked side by side with a grinning Daniel who sported a jester's mask that covered the upper half of his face.

"You'll see." He winked as he opened the door.

I found myself stepping into a raised balcony that looked down at the main club floor. My eyes widened. Naked men and women all over the place some dancing on metal poles and men swated watching them. On the other side there were people having sex.

I turned toward Daniel and hissed, "You brought me to a sex party?"

" Yes. Why you didn't know?" He asked me with a confused expression.

"Ofcourse I didn't know. You only told me it was a party" I balled his fingers into fists at his sides.

" I thought you knew" he said.

"And this after my mother told me to take care of my reputation. What if someone recognizes-"

Daniel interrupted him by tapping his mask. "That's what these are for. This is a private party".

"If my mother and for God's sake if GM finds our about it I am dead meat" I said imagining the scenario where both my parents and GM scolding me to their hearts content.

My previous anger and indignation lost some of its steam. "Still, I can't say I'm comfortable with all this."

"You're free to leave," Daniel whispered into my ear. His hot breath sent tingles up and down my body. "But I'm asking you not to. Have some fun tonight."

He waved at me leaving me alone. As I scanned the auction items I couldn't see myself sleeping with any of them regardless of their supposed talents in bed. There was only one person . . .

He shook his head the instant Zen's face entered his mind.

"I think I'll pass," I said.

"Suit yourself." Daniel led me to the bar. He pointed at the defined abs of the man stretched out before them. "Body shot?"

"Uhm . . ."

But before I could refuse, a shot of tequila was shoved into my hand. I was never one to turn down a free drink. So at the count of three, I threw back the liquid fire then licked off the salt on the man's hip. The guy smiled at him suggestively after I straightened. A scarlet blush burned across my face. Thank goodness for the mask covering the tops of my cheeks.

"Another one?" Daniel offered.

I waved both hands to ward off the offering. "I think I'll need something to eat first. Don't want to get slobbering drunk too fast."

Daniel pointed at the buffet table lining one wall. I nodded and made my way to the spread, passing servers who were made to wear leather straps and nothing else.

When i reached the table, the food seems normal but, just to be safe, i picked up a cube of cheese skewered on a colorful toothpick and popped it into my mouth.

"Is that all you're having?" someone asked from behind me.

I whirled around to face a man in a red sequined suit that looked painted on. A black feather mask covered most of his face except for his lips, which were currently smirking at me. She reached for a stack of chocolates. He picked up one cube and slide it on my lips and pushing it through my lips as if saying me to open up and have it.

"Open up," he said.

Unable to refuse since it would mean opening my mouth anyway, i did as i was told. As soon as the cube landed on my tongue, the chocolate melted. I didn't even needed to chew.

He hummed in pleasure. "Good, huh?"

"Yes," I said.

The taste of it was too sweet for my liking I needed a drink to let this sweetness out of my tongue. So I took a drink from the waiter nearby and gutted it down.

Then, almost instantly, my heart began to pound and my skin burned from the inside. I felt heat through my body such as that I wanted to take of my clothes right there right at the moment.

"What the hell did you give me?" I managed to say between pants.

The man giggled. "You seemed like you needed to loosen up. It's one of the best aphrodisiacs on this table. Fast acting. From the looks of you, it's already working."

The moment he said aphrodisiac, my cock hardened to the point of pain. He groaned. This was the last time I was trusting Daniel to take me anywhere.

Using what little strength I had left, I shoved the man away and moved to the stairs.

With each agonizing step, my heart leaped into my throat.

I staggered to the door and hurried as best I could down the hall to the entrance, keeping one shoulder against the wall the entire time to keep me from falling.
