The music swayed, I along with it, letting my legs spread as I spun, tilting my hips as I pranced around the pole in all the beautifully provocative ways. My eyes never left the darkened floor of the room, my focus darting from one patron to another, watching for sharp motions, nefarious actions. Anything that would require me to step in.
So far, so good. Perfect, considering that Natalia still hadn't returned.
I peered through the curtains, trying to find her signature hair and ridiculous dress. I finally saw her on the far side of the main room, key in hand as she exited her office, two men in tow.
I recognized one at once. How could I not? I had been dreaming of that golden skin for days. That blond hair. Those wickedly delightful eyes. It was the blonde that I had seen first, not the dark haired one with the massive cock. It didn’t matter though, seeing him was like an anchor that was pulling me toward him, begging him to take me. Ice and heat collided in my veins, and I stuttered, missing a spin and nearly falling on my face. I barely caught myself, only to look closer at the tall man that walked opposite the Coxian.
Grey fabric swathed him, the trim cut uniform fresh pressed and perfect. I would have recognized that uniform even if it was covered in blood. Even if the patch on his left breast was ripped from him.
I had never seen a TerraLink official here; and the sight of him was forcing the world to spin in a different direction. Everything froze, knives slicing through my back, ice through my veins as my fight or flight kicked in.
The party stuttered to a stop as they walked through the room, weaving through furniture as Natalia took her time to reach us. To warn us.
"TerraLink." I snapped into the dark, hand slipping off the pole as I lost my grip and my shoulder hit hard against the unyielding chrome.
Hissing in pain, I righted myself as everyone went to action. The fully nude dancers disappeared, the near-naked virgins grabbed robes as they sagged into seats alongside their alien companions, all of them looking like they were sitting down for coffee. Nothing more.
"Get back, Kylie," Kirl snapped so only I could hear from his post near the door, his command pulling me from my frozen shock as I stepped behind the wide pillar that held my weapons. Out of sight but not gone.
The music became mumbles against the sound of my heart in my ears, my panic screaming as I went through every potential outcome. Three years of nightmares and daydreams had prepared me for this moment, and as I leaned against the wall of knives, I gripped my favorite, thinking about all the ways I would filet the TerraLink commander. That is, if Natalia would give me the okay.
That was the only thing that Natalia had made me promise when she had taken me in. If they came for me, I had to go quietly. I could cut off more dicks if I wanted, but I couldn't do it in her club.
Light slashed through the dark like my knife as they entered, Natalia's voice filtering over the sound of my racing heart with a quiver of her own.
"This is our VIP lounge, and as you can see, we place some of our best girls here. Many of our patrons enjoy coming here to unwind with some good company." Natalia laughed as though what she had said was some kind of joke. None of her companions joined her.
"It does seem to be an enjoyable space," a dark male voice said. The TerraLink commander, judging by the way he sounded like he had his ego stuck up his butt. "I think I would like to spend some time here. Maybe later if all goes well."
“Of course! We would love to have you,” Natalia laughed again, the uncomfortable sound making its own slices against my nerves. What was I doing here? I should just run.
I’d had an escape route planned out for years, but had never needed to enact it. Now, I’d been standing around because I was obsessed with the idea of a Coxian taking my virginity.
I took two knives off the wall, moving as quietly as I could toward the back door.
"Enough of this!" Another male, this voice a snap that should have been angry, but instead slammed into my gut and flooded me with fireworks. How could someone sound so angry and make you so horny at the same time? Shit. Why was I standing still again? Move! "I have already had a tour. I want what I came here for, where is the girl?"
"Ah yes. Where is this 'Kylie'?" The TerraLink rep asked.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Too late. He was looking, and the back door wasn’t exactly hidden. He would see my glitter-covered naked ass high tailing it out of here.
The sound of the TerraLink rep’s heavy shoes rattled the walls. From that sound alone I could tell exactly where he was. Two steps closer and I could reach him in one leap from my stage to plunge my knife into the soft tissue right beneath his collarbone.
It wouldn't kill him, but it would give me time to run. Not that I had any idea where I would go.
"She was here," Natalia said, still laughing, giving me away. So much for her hiding me. Whatever pheromone was seeping from the Coxian was turning her into a giggling school girl. "Kylie!"
Keeping the knife tight in my hand, I peered around the pillar I had placed myself behind, only half of my body in view.
Seeing the two men close up was doing weird things to me. The leering eyes of the TerraLink official dragged up and down my body, his wet
