Chapter Seventeen

Gwen

The three of us barely move for several seconds. Percy relaxes his hold on me, cradling me on his lap. I reach for Lance, pulling him closer. He surprises me by resting his cheek on my bare thigh while he curls his arms around my waist. I gently comb my fingers through his hair until his heavy breathing slows.

When Percy nuzzles my cheek and presses a kiss to my jaw, I look at him. He’s giving me the tenderest of looks and it makes my heart somersault.

“This makes you happy, doesn’t it?” he asks.

“Very much,” I admit. “It’s surprising, but I was definitely losing interest in our scenes at the club.”

“Do you want to stop attending the Masquerade?” he asks.

I look down at Lance and shake my head. “Maybe we just evolve. Chloe’s usually open to suggestions about the regular live shows. Ours pulls a crowd already.”

Lance sits up and looks at me. “Are you suggesting what I think you are? Aren’t I blacklisted or something?”

“Oh, you’ll have to get the third degree from Chloe, but I’m sure she’ll love you as much as we do,” I say. I immediately bite my tongue, schooling my expression as if I didn’t just suggest I have feelings too soon. Not to mention I lumped Percy into the statement without even asking.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” Percy says with a chuckle. “He gives good head, but I need to get to know him better before pulling out the L-word. But I think this dynamic is exactly what the club needs. Chloe’s bound to love the idea.”

Lance is staring at us in shock. “Are you serious? Like, I’d be a regular, um, performer there? Like Brit and Casey?”

It’s my turn to be shocked. “You know them?”

“They share a room in my residence hall. One of them dropped a Masquerade invitation in the lobby on Saturday. That’s how I found out about the place to begin with. Man, I had no idea what those two got up to on weekends. They’re both so dialed in at school.”

I’m speechless, but Percy fills the silence.

“They both have very devoted Doms. Slacking in school is probably not allowed if they want to keep coming to the club.”

“Is it like, their job? Isn’t that…”

He scrunches his forehead, trying to wrap his head around the idea.

I shake my head. “It isn’t prostitution, but we are technically sex workers. Though Brit, Adam, and Michael don’t get paid. Michael’s loaded so they just do it for fun. Max, Rick, and Casey earn a salary and so does Percy. I wouldn’t let Chloe pay me, since I consider my monthly visits therapy.”

“You should get on the payroll,” Percy says. “You bring in revenue. It would be a good supplement.” He squeezes my hip. “And she’d pay you too,” he says to Lance. “She might want you to go through a trial period first, though.”

Lance stares at us both, his hair a disheveled mess from my stroking. His bewilderment is endearing as hell, and I can see his gears turning.
