CHAPTER FOUR
Roman
In the opulent men’s restroom, surrounded by marble and gold-flecked granite, I splashed cold water on my face and dried it with a hand towel that probably cost more than my shoes.
After catching that gorgeous creature in my arms, I carried her inside out of the rain. In the dim hallway behind the stage, the air was highly charged with sensuality. That must have been why I completely lost anything resembling sensibility and decorum.
I shuddered thinking about how I actually asked the masked goddess if she was in the book. How stupid of me, of course she was. Why else would she be here?
I stuck my head under the running water to cool my overheated libido, to freeze out whatever spell that beauty had put me under, practically having me pulling out my Amex Black. This place was legendary because it fucked with you. Everyone here played a game that even the most decent of men would find hard to resist.
After frequent trips here to stimulate clients, I knew that any woman at Jewel could be bought. If they weren’t already on the menu, they would be. All of the hostesses and wait staff were Jewels in training. If the women on offer for the night sold out, discreet offers for your hostess could begin. The girl in the black cape and mask was probably one of their gimmicks. Maybe guys liked to fuck women in masks; that slight limp probably was a thing as well.
By now, my client had more than likely been escorted into the theater, which would become the offer room once the entertainment came to a close. It was unusual for one of my clients to come solo with me to Jewel, and I didn’t want Duk to have to sit alone. I never went in the theater, but this time it would only be in the interest of business for me to join him.
When I returned to Duk, he seemed too delighted to even notice I was gone.
“Did I miss anything?” I whispered as I slipped into the seat beside him.
“Just that!” He motioned to the ceiling. “One of the gentlemen said she is their most amazing act.”
The woman from the hallway was perched overhead, her arms outstretched as a beam of light illuminated her high above us. It was then I noticed the tinkle of music and its haunting melody. That wasn’t… that couldn’t be. Was it her voice? It had to be a recording.
I watched in amazement as she flew over us like a fairy, with her wings outspread, singing in a low, intriguing voice. Her body glimmered under the lights and I caught glimpses of her shape. Wrapped in a nude bodysuit beneath the flowing gauze that floated around her, she appeared nearly bare-skinned. Her body was hourglass shaped, her waist accentuating rounded hips and the curves of her breasts. My eyes flicked to the stage, where acrobats were contorting themselves into a Cirque du Soleil version of the Kama Sutra, but my attention was immediately drawn back to her.
