Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Luckily, when Gino left me alone for the rest of the ride, I finally got my breath back, which didn't make the situation sitting next to him any more comfortable. The whole time I was just expecting him to touch me again without permission.

"Get out," he suddenly said in a dark voice, and when I lifted my head a little, I saw the club they must have been talking about in front of us.

The building stood alone in the middle of a factory site, surrounded by parking lots and bushes.

Super creepy the whole thing...

"You should get the fuck out of here!" Gino suddenly yelled, yanking my car door open in anger. I was almost scared to death and didn't even realize that he had already got out.

"It's okay," I said apologetically and quickly got out to get his hand on my back. With this gesture, he was able to control my gait and quickly steered me towards the entrance, where several older men in suits were already queuing.

"If such an old sack fucks you tonight, you'll still wish I'd cut your hymen," Gino whispered provocatively in my ear and with a disgusted look at all of them men, I had to agree with him, willy-nilly.

"Ciao, Gino," a tall man at the entrance greeted the one standing next to me, and after they had a brief chat, Gino led me inside, where the smell of cigars and whiskey hit my nose. That's what my uncle smelled like every weekend when he came home late at night and it gave me an instant stomach ache, so I clawed my hand at Gino's chest and rested my head on his arm, causing him to stop momentarily.

"You think that's how you get pity?" he asked slightly amused and I just shook my head in the negative.

"I'm slightly nauseous," I admitted, whereupon he stroked my forehead once and, without wasting any more time, led me into a room where several girls my age were already standing in skimpy dresses, getting ready in front of a mirror.

"Gino," one was visibly happy to see the man next to me and came right up to him to give him a kiss on his cheek.

How could a woman like that?!

"Ciao Gulia. This is Ludo. She has some debts to pay back and I expect you to clean her up and explain everything to her calmly."

She nodded and then smiled kindly at me, only to pull me by my hand further into the room, where everything smelled of perfume and hairspray and everything looked like a large makeup mirror.

"Red or black?" she asked, holding out two dresses that were even shorter than my current one. "Hmm, you have short legs, so prefer the black one," she thought to herself and handed it to me with a smile, before pushing me behind a cover.

"Change your clothes in peace", she said casually and then turned to two other girls. "And you chicas, get out now, the men don't like to wait."

She was either a madam or a motivational coach.

I pulled on the black dress without resistance and cursed my stupid uncle for putting me in this situation in the first place.

"Are you ready?" I heard Gulia's shrill voice and nervously stepped out from behind the cover, feeling stark naked despite the dress. Half of my butt was almost visible and at the top it just covered my nipples. What a cheap place... Why not go out completely naked?

"Well, actually we just dance for you men and get paid to entertain you. Some people want more though and you don't have offers without good reason to turn them down. There are some private rooms upstairs. Some with more toys, some with less."

"Toys?" I repeated, slightly panicked, but she immediately tried to calm me down with a smile and pushed me by my shoulders to one of the stools in front of the long mirror.

"Don't worry. The men here are all known and also understand a no if you don't like certain things," she babbled on, combing my black hair neatly.

"Do you want make-up?" she asked, stepping next to me to examine me more closely. "You have really nice skin and freckles too. Actually, you don't need any. It's only going to ruin your skin anyway," she grinned and her good mood gave me even more stomach pains than I already had. "Well then, have fun."

I got up from the chair in shock and walked past several rigged women to the door to take a deep breath out of it. That was definitely too much of a good thing for me...

As my gaze fell to the left toward the exit, I briefly considered escaping, but where should I go?

"Fucking crap," I cursed, and ran down the dark corridor to the right, only to suddenly arrive in a large room lit with all sorts of colors.

Directly in front of me was a long bar, where several men were already sitting, also chatting amusedly with the two girls I had just seen in the changing room.

The music got into my ears, but not so loud that I couldn't have a conversation and when I looked further into the room, I saw individual tables with armchairs at the edge, but they all seemed to be empty.

I didn't see Gino and since I just wanted to remain invisible, I walked past the long bar into the farthest dark corner and sat down on one of the armchairs to just look around in fear.

Until my attention was suddenly drawn to him...

A young man, maybe in his 20s, entered the room. He was accompanied by several women and men, including Gino.

This guy had an aura that I could see not only catching my attention but everyone sitting at the bar looking over at him...

The white shirt was just perfect on his torso while he wore the dark jacket elegantly over his arm. Add to that this black hair, which looked so soft even from back here that I almost became jealous...

Wow... He must have been a friend of Gino's, because there was no need for someone like that to buy women...

I was listening to the music while staring at him and when he suddenly looked at me too, my eyes widened and I quickly avoided his gaze. My heart was racing and I didn't even know why and when I finally dared to look at him again, he was busy with his attachment again. But now it was Gino who looked at me questioningly and then immediately came towards me...
