Chapter 1

(Vice P.O.V.)

I am waiting in line to enter "The Spot" club when the douche behind me grabs my ass. As I turn around I slap him yelling "Don't ever touch me again". The look of shot on his face was priceless. I guess no one has ever stood up to him. Once he has recovered to the shot of being slapped he starts yelling at me "Who the fuck do you think you are you little bitch". As he saying this he raises his hand to slap me back so I close my eyes and brace myself, not like I have never been slapped before, but the slap never comes. When I open my eyes two seconds later, I see the huge bouncer has a hold of his wrist saying "If you ever try to hit a women around me again I will snap your neck". With one hand he lifts the guy by his neck and throws him into the street right on his ass. The others waiting in line start to snicker and laugh. As the guy gets up the bouncer says "I am black listing you from the club, don't ever show your face around here again".

Once the guy leaves I say "Thanks for the help. What's your name?" he answers me "No problem, guys like that give the rest of us a bad rap. My name is James". I smile at him. "Ya I get it, same goes for women. I can't stand the high pitched bitching, makes me what to punch them just to shut them up". He starts laughing at me and I give him a dirty look. He puts his hands up in surrenders saying "Hey I am not laughing at you. I am laughing because I feel the same way. The thing is I have never heard a beautiful young lady like yourself say anything like that". I start to turn red and cast my eyes downward. He lifts my chin so I am looking in his eyes and says "Don't look downward when you receive a complement, you are beautiful and any guy would be lucky to have you". As I try not to cry he gives me a funny look. "Why does what I said make you want to cry?" I don't know why but I feel like I can trust James, which is really strange because I don't trust anyone, so I tell him "I was in a bad relationship and the guy was abusive. We were together for 10 years when he put me in the hospital with broken ribs and a concussion. After that I finally got the nerve to leave him and got a restraining order". James is looking at me like he is going to find Jeff and kill him slowly. I laugh the tears away and smile at him. James just shakes his head "You are a strong women to go through all that and start over". "Well I don't know about be strong because this is the first time I have been out since I was in the hospital" I say. James smiles at me taking my arm pulling me out of line and we walk to the clubs doors. I give me a funny look and he just shrugs saying "Go on in" "What about the cover charge" I reply to him. "Don't worry I got it covered" and he winks at me. I smile and give him a hug and enter the club.

As I enter the club the music is loud and the lighting is crazy as it changes colors. I have never been in this club before but it looks like it's the place to be. I head over to the bar and take a seat on the end right next to the booths. While I am taking a seat I see a handsome man, well handsome doesn't do him justice, he is watching me. I smile and take my seat at the bar but I can feel his eyes staring at me. It gives me the chills but I shrug it off telling myself your just nervous. The bartender slowly makes his way to me "What can I get for you beautiful?" "Jack and Coke" I tell him. While he is getting my drink he looks behind me and give a slight nod. He gives me my drink "How much do I owe you" I say. He looks at me "Don't worry it's taken care of" "What do you mean it's taken care of?" he looks at me and smiles and points to the god behind me. My eyes go huge as I just stare at the bartender. Once I regain my surprise, I slowly turn around and mouth Thank you to him. He just smiles at me and lifts his glass. I lift my in return and take a drink.

It's been two hours since I came in and the hottie at the booth has bought every drink I have asked for. When I finally get up the nerve, I walk over to the booth "Thanks for the drinks you didn't have to do that". He gives me a frown saying "I know I didn't have to do anything, I did it because I wanted too". I look down and blush giggling. Oh my God did I just giggle? What is going on with me tonight? I never giggle like a little girl. While I am standing there giggling to myself, he asks "Would you like to join me?" "Sure" is all I can mange to get out. As I sit down he raises and eyebrow at me and smiles. I guess I am a little buzzed from the drinks and it is showing. "I am Jordan, what's your name?" "My name is Victoria but everyone calls me Vice" I say smiling at him. He returns my smile. "Sooooooo what is with all the drinks?" comes out of my mouth. I instantly turn red "Sorry I didn't mean to be so forward, I think I have had a few more drinks that I should have". Jordan just smiles at me. Oh My God!!!! This man is the perfect specimen of what a man should look like. Hair dark as night, eyes the color of the ocean a strong jaw just made for biting. UGH! Nose straight and all angular. I could stare at him all day and never get bored. He laughs "Don't worry I like a women who says what she is thinking". I blush even harder, I don't think I have ever blushed this much in my life and I am so confused because I am not a blusher. I quickly cast my eyes down and peak through my eyelashes at him. Jordan is smiling and shaking his head so I smile back. "Hey do you want to dance? I have been here for two hours and I have not danced at all." I ask him. Jordan stands up and offers me his hand. My eyes go huge, he is over 6 feet tall and all mussel. I take his hand and we walk out to the dance floor. When we get to the dance floor he grabs me by the waist slamming me into him and starts to move. Shit this man knows how to dance. I flip around so that my back is to his front, I slowly start to rub my back and ass against him. As we dance I drop to the floor and slowly oh so slowly come back up. When my ass reaches his dick I twirl my hips. Jordan grabs my hips slamming me into him and growls into my ear. I am getting so turned on and I can tell he is too by the strain of his pants. I laugh and turn around, wrapping my leg around his leg I slowly rub up and down. I look up to him and my breath get trapped in my chest as I see the lust in his eyes. He pulls me up grabbing my ass and turns us around in circles. I get between his legs and just like before I drop to the floor and bounce up and down while looking up at him. Looking at him I think to myself that's strange I thought his eyes were blue? Now Jordan's eyes are completely black, maybe it was the lighting. I shrug it off and keep dancing with him.

I start to rise off the ground once I am back up a guy comes up and grabs my arm "Hey share the wealth". I retch my arm from his grasp and step away from him, I am all to familiar with guys like this. As I am about to say something, Jordan pushes me behind him "Do not ever touch her again. If she wanted to dance with you she would. It is very clear that she does not, so leave her alone". The guy gets all pissed "Who the hell do you think you are? If I want to dance with her I will". To this I say "I don't want to dance with you, I am currently dancing with Jordan". His eyes go huge and he starts backing away "Sorry didn't mean any disrespect, I will just go now". I look at Jordan "What was that all about"? "I kind of have a reputation here". I raise an eyebrow at him and place my hands on my hips with the look of oh do you now. Jordan grabs my hand and we walk off the dance floor.

Jordan starts leading me to the stairs that goes up to the VIP lounge. " Hey James, how are you tonight"? he says as we pass the bouncer at the VIP door. My eyebrows shoot up when I realize this is the James from out front. James gives me a wink "Hey Jordan, all is going good here. Who is this beautiful lady you have here"? "Oh this is Vice, if I am not here and she needs anything give it to her." Jordan turns to me "This is James he can help you with anything you need". I blush "Ya we already meet. Some jerk grabbed my ass in line so I smacked him. Once he got over the shock he raised his hand to me but James stopped him before he could strike me". The look on Jordan's face could kill, he looks at James and give a quick nod. James returns the nod and opens the door for us. Ok that was strange. Once we enter the VIP room I look around saying "I have never been in the VIP room of a club". This place is like nothing else I have ever seen before. It is the same as the main floor but with more bling. Jordan takes my hand and we walk to the bar. "Everything in here is free, if you want a drink or food, anything really just ask and someone will get it for you". I raise my eyebrows at him and he just shrugs so I roll my eyes at him and he chuckles. We make it to the bar "Hey David" Jordan says to the bartender "This is Vice give her what ever she wants". David looks at me and back to Jordan "Sure thing Boss". Ok what is going on here I think as I look at Jordan, again he just shrugs. Oh no no no Jordan not this time. "David, what do you mean when you say Boss"? David looks at Jordan and Jordan mouths a quick no, which I see, so David smiles. "So what can I get for you Vice"? Nice change of subject David, I think but let it go, I will find out what is going on from Jordan later. Something tells me Jordan is not just some random guy. "Jack and Coke. Please." I say to David. While David makes my drink I turn to Jordan "What is with the Boss thing"? Jordan smiles at me grabs my hand when I have my drink and walks to a sofa. The music is not a loud in here as it is in the main room which is nice. I am looking out the huge glass wall, which over looks the main room, watching everyone dance. Jordan raises his hand and traces the outline of my jaw. This makes me shiver and heats me up all at the same time. Oh how I want this man. To bad that I don't fuck until the 3rd or 4th date. Oh well! Jordan looks at me as I sigh. "Why the sad sigh, is something wrong"? "Oh no, nothing is wrong was just thinking I have to get going because I have to work tomorrow". I smile at Jordan and stand up getting ready to leave, he jumps up and grabs my hands, "Don't go into work tomorrow, stay with me" My jaw drops "WHAT????????? Who do you think you are? I just meet you, there is no way I am spending the night with you, I am not that kind of girl". Shit I new something was off about tonight, he just wants to fuck me. I am so mad now that I start to stomp out of the room, before I can make the door Jordan grabs my arm and turns me around so I am facing him. "Hey, I did not mean for you to spend the night with me, I meant I want to spend time with you tomorrow. I am sorry if it came off wrong but I did not mean it that way". "Oh" I say "well I would like to spend time with you too but I have to work, I live by myself and I pay all the bills, so if I don't work I don't get paid". "Oh well that is easy, I will pay you for the time you miss". Did I hear him right... Did he really just say that? "Ok really who the hell are you? Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just buy me? Well guess what pal I am not for sale"! as I am saying this Jordan goes from all smiles to confused. I mean what does he have to be confused about. Does he really think he can just buy me? UGH! I turn and head for the doors but between one blink and the next Jordan is in front of me. Ok what just happened? "Ummmmm how did you just appear in front of me"? Jordan looks like he just saw a ghost, "Well I just ran around you, that's all". Ya right. "Really? You were behind me and then in one blink you are in front of me. I think I should go now and you should lose my number"! I walk around him and this time he catches my arm. "I am sorry Vice, I meant no disrespect. I just thought that if you did not have to worry about making the money you would see me tomorrow. I did not realize what I said would be offensive. I am kind of new to this whole dating thing". I am just staring with my mouth hanging open at him right now thinking what the hell is going on, who does this guy think he is? " Wait, hold up, did you just say you are new to this dating game thing"? Jordan gives me a small smile "Yes, I have never dated before. Where I come from there is no dating game thing". OMG where did this guy come from the dark ages? As I am trying to process all of this the club is closing so I just sake my head and start for the door. "Vice please, I just want to see you tomorrow. I am sorry if I am doing this the wrong way. Tell me what I should do". Is this guy for real? "Ok ummm let me think about it... Ummmmmm NO"! I yell as I walk out the door.

As I am walking down the street back to my apartment I notice someone is following me. Great just what I need right now, some jack ass trying to hurt me. I get out my taser, turn it on and turn around. "Hey sexy where are you going"? "Well I am going home alone, have a nice night". Now I am a little bit scared this guy is huge and stinks. All of a sudden the guy reaches out and grabs my arm and the taster. He chucks the taster and pulls me toward him as I start screaming. "Sexy I am not going to hurt you I just want to have some fun"! "Go to hell asshole and leave me the fuck alone". "Ha ha ha you know you want to have some fun with..." Someone grabs him from behind in a head lock and the guy releases me. By this time I am shaking so bad that I can barely stand and I am starting to have a panic attack. As my legs gives out someone catches me and picks me up bridal style. When I look up to see who it is I stare into these ocean blue eyes that make my breath hitch. Jordan has me cradled in his arms as James breaks the guys neck. I start screaming and shaking my head "Why did you kill him, OMG we have to call the cops". James shrugs, yes that is right just shrugs, I look at him with wide eyes and start crying. Jordan holds me tighter as I start to struggle, "Let me go, who are you people" I scream at them. "Vice, I need you to calm down for me. We are not going to hurt you no one will ever hurt you again". I look up at Jordan as I try to calm down and start hiccupping from crying so hard "I just want to go home and forget this night ever happened". I see the hurt in Jordan's eyes for a split second before he school's his face to a mask of no emotion. "Vice if you want to go home I will take you there but you are not walking"! "Ummm no, you will not be taking me home because I don't want you knowing where I fucking live". Jordan just shakes his head. "Fine if you will not allow me to take you home then you will sleep in the guest room at my house". Wait what did he just say???????? "I am not going anywhere with you. You need to put me down and get away from me"! Jordan is still caring me and walking back to the club. I start to struggle again and it is no use he is too strong for me. I am starting to freak out and I don't know what to do? "Jordan, please put me down, FINE, you can drive me home but there is no way in hell I am staying at your house"! Jordan sighs and puts me down "Ok the car is in front of the club walk back with us and I will drive you home". All this time James is just standing there smiling like he did not just murder someone. Am I dreaming? Is this just a bad dream that I will wake up from???? I pinch myself and shit that hurt, nope no dream. UGH! We walk back to the club in silence, hell I don't know what to say and I am barely hanging on to my sanity. When we reach the club Jordan opens the door to a Range Rover that must cost like two hundred thousand dollars because it has everything you can think of. Once I get into the Range Rover Jordan closed the door and walks around to the drivers side to get in. He is just looking at me as he starts the engine, I look straight ahead, what does he want me to say? This has been the craziest night of my life and I just want to go home and go to sleep, pretend this night never happened. I tell Jordan where I live, just the address not the apartment number and he starts to drive. "Vice please take to me. I know a lot has happened tonight but I don't want you to be scared". "Are you for real, I am not scared, I am fucking losing it right now, James just killed someone and you ack like it's no big deal. I am losing my fucking mind"! Jordan sighs and shakes his head. When Jordan looks over at me a tear falls down my face he reaches over and catches it off my cheek then he rubs his thumb on my cheek bone. I don't know why but I lean in to his touch and it calms me down. Ok it is affirmed I am going crazy. I have sept into the Twilight Zone! When we pull up to the front of my apartments Jordan turns off the Range Rover. "I am going to walk you to your door so I know you are safe". Wait what???? "You are not walking me to my door, I just need you to leave" I say crying and hiccupping. Jordan's eyes go very soft and warm as he looks at me. God only knows why but I say "Ok you can walk me to my door, but please just leave after that". "If that is what you want then I will do that. But I still want to see you tomorrow, please". I shake my head as we get to my door, I open the door and close it without giving him an answer. I walk into my bedroom and plop on the bed and fall to sleep.
