“Richard, allow me to introduce Lola.” Xavier grinned at his friend. “Lola, this is Prince Richard and his date, Elizabeth.” Then he turned to the other couple. “And this is Prince George and his date Victoria.”
“Hi.” I nodded at the couples feeling slightly shy. Prince Richard had to have been in his forties and his date was about my age. She looked young and happy and I wondered why she was so excited. Prince Richard was not cute with his bald head and big belly.
“Hello, Lola.” Richard jumped up and bowed before me. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“You too.” I smiled at him and then took a seat next to Elizabeth. “Hi.” I smiled at her.
“Hi, nice to meet you.” She grinned at me and I realized that she was American as well.
“Are you from the States?” I asked her curiously.
“Yeah, I’m from Texas. Austin to be exact.”
“Oh nice.”
“Yeah, where are you from?”
“Florida.”
“Oh cool. I love Disney.”
“Yeah, Disney is fun, but I prefer Universal Studios.”
“I’ve never been to Universal.” She smiled at me and I smiled back at her, thinking how crazy this was for us to be sitting in a ‘pleasure club’ talking about theme parks. “I do like Wet N’ Wild, though.” She grinned and I laughed.
“Yeah, I love water parks.”
“Oh, I mean, I like it when Richard makes me wet and wild.” She laughed at her joke and I tried not to roll my eyes. “Sorry, I’ve got a quirky sense of humor.”
“No worries. So do I.” I sat back and looked at Richard and Xavier talking intensely and then turned back to her. “So, have you been coming here long?”
“To the club you mean?” She looked at me curiously. “Is this your first time?”
“Yes.” I nodded, feeling embarrassed.
“Oh wow. Okay.” She grinned. “You must be so overwhelmed. I know I was when I first came with Richard.”
“Yeah, I don’t really know what’s going on. Is this like a sex club?”
“No, not really.” She shook her head.
“So people don’t swap or anything?”
“No, no.” She shook her head and looked shocked. “This isn’t that sort of club at all.”
“Oh, okay. Good. What about that Casper guy? Do you know him?”
“Oh, Prince Casper is gorgeous, isn’t he?” She sighed. “Every girl here wishes she could be with him.”
“He doesn’t try and get with everyone?” I asked surprised.
“Oh no.” She shook her head. “He only brings the most beautiful women.”
“Like Violeta?”
“Oh you met her.” Elizabeth made a face. “She’s beautiful, but a bit of a bitch.”
“Yes, she is.” I laughed, glad that I wasn’t the only one that thought that.
“She’s one of the teachers here, so we have to be nice, but most of us girls can’t stand her.”
“She’s a teacher here?” I asked surprised. “Isn’t she dating, Casper?”
“I don’t know. He doesn’t really do much. I’ve never even really seen him kissing anyone.” She shrugged. “He’s a pretty closed-off guy. I think he only goes with the girls that he really really likes.”
“Oh wow.” I felt myself warming inside. What did that mean then? Did he like me? Why had he been flirting with me so hardcore? Did he really think I was beautiful?
“Yeah, he’s a straight-up guy. Some of the guys will try and cop a feel.” She rolled her eyes. “But not Casper.” She sighed. “Most of us wouldn’t mind if it was him.”
“Yeah, he’s really cute, isn’t he?” I pictured his amazingly vibrant blue eyes and then the feel of his warm hand on my leg and blushed.
“Yeah, he is.” Elizabeth giggled. “Though, Prince Xavier is a tall glass of water as well.”
“Yeah, he is.” We sat back and looked at Xavier. He looked so distinguished in his suit. His dark hair was styled perfectly and his suit fit him like a glove. I stared at him as he spoke and I felt my heart turning. I loved this man, with all his flaws and imperfections, yet I knew that he would never commit to me. He just wasn’t interested in a relationship and it killed me inside. I wasn’t sure how long I’d be able to keep up the farce and not crack under pressure.
“Richard might not be cute, but he makes up for it in the bedroom.” She laughed. “He’s the best lover I’ve ever had.”
“Oh wow. That’s amazing.” I smiled at her and looked away from Xavier. I wasn’t sure what else to say to her. She was definitely nice, but I knew she wasn’t someone I could confide in.
“Yes, he is.” She leaned towards me. “I’m sure you’re wondering what you got yourself into, but trust me, just go with the flow. The club is a lot of fun. It’s like a pleasure palace. You can learn how to give and receive as much pleasure as you want. And pain.” She giggled.
“Pain?” I frowned. “What?”
“Oh, if you guys go into the bondage rooms, they have some whips and chains and other stuff. And this wheel that spins, that was crazy.”
“Yeah, it sounds it.”
“It’s not all pain.” She smiled at me and stood up. “In fact, the slight pain helps to intensify the pleasure even more. If you have a chance you should go up to that level. It’s exciting.”
“Yeah, I’ll see.” I stood up as well and she gave me a quick hug.
“It was nice meeting you, Lola. Have fun and relax. I think I’m going to take Richard to one of the shows now.” She walked away from me and over to the two talking men. I stood there wondering what show she was talking about and smiled as Xavier approached me.
“Sorry about that.” He apologized as he looked down at me. “Richard and I were just talking business.”
“That’s fine.” I shrugged. “I was talking to Elizabeth. She seems really nice.”
“Yes, she’s a nice girl.” He nodded. “Are you ready for us to go and have some fun?”
“I guess so.” I said as we walked out of the room. “Where are we going?”
“Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know.” I shook my head. “I don’t really know this place well.”
