Chapter Four - Prey

Marcella Quintana's P.O.V.

I sit in the dark room with only the light from the bulbs on the mirror illuminating my features. I go over the plan mentally, already having burned Jason Andrews face to memory. I landed in London this morning and took a nap before getting down to my father's strip club to start my assignment.

"You're on in two doll." Jacinda, the manager of this club, tells me with a wink. "Still no requests for private room dances? You could make way more honey."

Barely anyone knows that I don't work here for a living nor my identity. I flash her a wry smile before shrugging half-heartedly. "I guess one or two wouldn't hurt."

"That's my girl!" She cheers before gesturing for me to hurry up. "Come on now, show starts in less than a minute!"

I nod as she scurries off before standing. My makeup and hair are done perfectly to compliment my lingerie set. The ensemble is a mix of diamonds and dark emerald lace. An innocent cover for who I really am.

The material is slightly sheer and my skin color is visible whenever the light hits it. The diamond tassels caress and tease my skin as I move. After making sure my mask is in place I position my hair to hide my eyes as much as I can before leaving. Walking towards the center stage I'm given the green light to go on just as I arrive.

With a deep breath I don a soft smile when I hear the usual hoots and hollers as I make my entrance. I prowl across the stage to the pole while searching for Andrews and catch him in one of the private lounges. I meet his gaze and wink cheekily. He straightens up immediately and leans forward with his drink in hand.

"Such a fool." I smirk to myself as the loud music drowns out my voice.

I wrap myself around the pole and my hair brushes my skin as I move expertly. The soft light illuminates my body and the men go wild as soon as the material of my lingerie becomes sheer. I bite my lip as I sway to the music while sliding down and spinning around the pole.

I look up just as I run my hand over my body only to lock eyes with a different stranger, one who I've not seen in here before. The light barely touches him but I manage to make out his muscular build and his eyes that resemble blue gemstones. His tattooed hand lifts his amber colored drink to his mouth and I find myself wanting to see the rest of him. Wishing that he had picked another spot to sit so that the shadows weren't shrouding most of him in darkness.

"Shit!" I breathe shakily after almost losing my footing.

I shake my head slightly to regain my composure. Focus Macy! Don't fuck this up, I think to myself. I maintain eye contact with my prey but within seconds I find my gaze flitting back to the hidden man in the shadows again. Growing frustrated at my lack of concentration I wrap my legs around the pole and spin wildly. Unpinning the skirt and letting it drop, I tilt my head back with a seductive smile as I pull at the waistband of my thong teasingly.

I slink off the pole in a sensual manner and crawl forward on my hands and knees. Roaring men driven with lust push against each other in a bid to get closer to the stage. I smile seductively as I kneel before leaning back and roaming my hands across my breasts.

Locking my eyes on my prey I stare at him as my other hand brushes against my core. I let my mouth fall open in mock pleasure and watch as he bites his lip hard. He grips the armrests of his seat tightly as he watches me.

Realizing the song is coming to an end I lower my body into a split and bounce my ass in time to the beat. Chuckling at his pained expression I roll onto my hands and knees again before standing. Blowing the crowd a kiss I look back at him to see him already asking Jacinda for a private dance.

I smirk in satisfaction and just as I'm about to look away I lock eyes with the mysterious stranger. He leans against the glass wall and my breath hitches when the lights go back to normal. But before I can see all of him he moves swiftly out of my sight.

Sighing in disappointment I make my way to the private rooms in the back. Two of my father's men stand at the end of the hallway near the exit. They nod at me discreetly right before I'm intercepted by a woman bursting with energy.

"Macy! Honey!" Jacinda squeals the name I had given her as she runs up to me. "Boy have I got a hunk for you! Jason Andrews, the hotshot in the press right now, wants a piece of you and he's paying good money for it."

"Alright." I chuckle before shooting the men a hand signal to say we've got him. "How about you get someone to warm him up? These diamonds are pissing me off so I need a minute."

"Sure, but hurry! I don't want him taking money back just because you made him wait!" She winks and I chuckle before leaving for my dressing room.

After slipping my dagger into my bra I put on a long black robe with fluffy material lining the hem. Thankfully it's not transparent so when I walk into the room where Jason is currently being pleasured he doesn't even notice the silver tip poking out between my breasts.

I smile and bite my lip when he opens his eyes. They trail over my body hungrily as I untie my robe and let it slip to the floor. Lily works away while I lean down to brush my lips against his which seems to be his undoing. He cries out as he becomes undone and I take it as my queue to slit his throat clean.

I hear rather than see him make a gurgling noise which has Lily look up at us in confusion. Her eyes widen and before she can scream I slit her throat too. I don't like to play with my victims – don't like to torture them because I'd rather not go to bed with reminders of what their faces looked like as they beg me for mercy.

I step over to the door and shake the handle a few times as a signal to the men waiting patiently at the end of the hallway. They swiftly enter through the back door and get to work on wrapping Jason's body in a bag. I instruct them to leave Lily here so we can make it seem like Jason's the culprit for a while.

After washing away all the blood I make my way out of the bathroom. Stepping out of the room I look up to see that the usual red light on the cameras is off. Moving down the hall quickly I'm just about to reach my room only to freeze when the mysterious man from before steps in front of me.

He's so much more handsome up close. He's tall with toned muscles and oozes power like he can having anything he wants. His dark hair is mostly straight but a few wavy strands sit atop his head with some falling onto his forehead lazily. His ocean blue eyes are more heavenly and hypnotizing in person, and his hand isn't the only tattooed part of his body. The sides and back of his neck, arms and some of his chest peeking from the unbuttoned shirt are all covered in ink.

"A little birdie told me that you owe me a private dance." He smirks but his eyes betray him. He looks at me as if he's planning on more than just a lap dance.

"Macy, you guys are in room three." Jacinda states from behind him.

Keeping up the pretense I act confused and jerk a thumb in the direction of the hallway behind me. "But I thought –"

"Lily will keep Jason. This guy has paid far more." She beams as she holds up racks of cash.

I nod before stepping over to the room and walking inside. I hear him follow behind as my heart pounds in fear and worry. I shouldn't be here. I need to get this over and done with quickly so turning on the usual music we use for these private dances I throw him what I hope is a seductive smile over my shoulder. He takes a seat in the chair in the middle of the room with the king-sized bed behind him.

I lose myself to the music as I move my body around him. My hands teasingly touch him and I find myself wondering what he looks like underneath all that material. His eyes never stray from mine but also don't give up the opportunity to admire my body clad in tight lingerie.

He pulls me onto his lap and I bite my lip when his hard on is obvious. My body betrays me as I involuntarily lean closer wanting his masculine yet delicious scent to wrap me in its embrace. I grind down against him and he groans huskily. His hands grip my hips and I close my eyes as they roam my body...only for them to shoot open when he unclips my bra from behind. I stiffen before pulling away and covering my breasts. His heady eyes meet mine and he smiles lazily.

"W-We can't." I stammer, having been caught off guard by this man. "Against the rules."

"You don't want me?" He murmurs huskily and my mouth opens and closes like a fish as he pulls my arms away.

I don't know what to say. My body yearns for his touch yet my mind reminds me of why I shouldn't still be here. Warmth blooms within me when I realize he's waiting for my consent. His thumbs ignite a delicious heat across my skin as he rubs circles across my hips.

"If you don't want to just say the word. I won't force you darlin." He murmurs and I squirm needily over how much lust lingers in his voice.

With a harsh gulp I give in to my desires and nod slowly. He works my body right, teasing all my sensitive areas with kisses and harsh bites. I'm a mess of moans and gasps on top of him which spurs him on to give me more. A soft whimper escapes me when his hand slides down to rub my core. He chuckles when my hips jerk and leans up to whisper soothing words in my ear that I don't quite pay attention to.

My body trembles when he slips his fingers inside and immediately my soaked center wets his digits. He groans heatedly and I catch him bite his lip as he looks down. I cry out and grip his shoulders as he pleasures me. The knot in my stomach begins to tighten within minutes and I feel my walls clench around him but it doesn't deter him in the slightest. 

I moan in delight as his soft plump lips press against mine with urgency. He smiles into it before coaxing my mouth open. But just before he slips his tongue in he bites my bottom lip harshly. I whimper when he doesn't let go, growing angry before I wrap my hand around his throat and force his head back.

That gets him to let go but I notice his eyes darken with lust at my action. I glare at him before pressing my lips to his once more. He moans gruffly before picking me up and throwing me onto the bed behind us.

"What –"

I'm cut off when he pounces on me and peppers kisses to every inch of bare skin before ripping off my thong. He slides down to settle his head between my legs and I moan when his nails dig into my thighs to pull them apart. He doesn't hesitate to taste me and my hips jerk when he hums in satisfaction. 

"Oh fuck!" I moan and fist the sheets in my hands. "More! Please!"

As if overcome by a frenzy he devours me like a starved animal. I can't stop my screams as he builds me up and I writhe under him.

"Please...I –"

"Let go." He murmurs and unable to take it anymore I become undone with a loud cry.

But that isn't enough to satisfy him. Adding a third finger he drives them into me roughly and I feel myself blush when I hear how wet I am. He looks up from his place between my legs and chuckles before coming up to kiss me fiercely just as I start rocking my hips against his hand.

My thighs shake uncontrollably and my mouth opens in a scream as I throw my head back from the intense mix of pressure and pleasure. I feel myself reaching my peak again.

"Fuck...I – don't stop!" I demand breathlessly.

"Look at me when you let go." He orders and I bite my lip before locking eyes with him.

I can't take it anymore and let myself go with a strangled sob. I unashamedly ride his face hard but he continues to devour me as if I haven't just reached my high.

"No! T-Too much!" I gasp and shudder while weakly pushing him away. "Too much."

"So sensitive." He coos tenderly and shakes his head. My eyes close when he nuzzles his nose into the crook of my neck before placing a gentle kiss to my heated skin. "How are you going to handle me when I'm buried deep inside you all night hmm?"

I instantly squeeze my thighs together when my core throbs with desire. My body involuntarily arches as he runs his fingers over my ribcage, circling my belly button and finally cupping me down below. I groan and squeeze my eyes shut when he caresses me.

But before we can go any further the sirens go off and the lights turn red. My eyes widen as my lust filled brain finally catches up on what's happening. Someone's found Lily's body in the room...and potentially Jason's if my father's men haven't done their jobs correctly.

"We have to go. It's the sirens for evacuation." I murmur calmly although I'm anything but on the inside.

"Any spare clothes in here?" He asks and I'm surprised that he isn't curious in the slightest.

I nod to the cabinet in which they're kept before sitting up. My eyes widen in surprise when he dresses me before grabbing my chin. His lips come crashing down own mine once more and I grip his arms tightly in response. Handsome and irresistible bastard, I think to myself.

"I'll find you again Macy."

"Good luck with that." I smirk and watch as he mirrors it.

"Trust me...I don't need it."

And for some reason that doesn't settle well with me yet I'm not opposed to the idea of seeing him again either.
