Angelina [Orchidea: Love on the Bayou 5] (Siren Publishing LoveXtreme Forever) (2 page)

“We don’t even know if Jacque wants in. He’s still trying to figure things out.”

“Well, he’s done with the service, he’s limited the number of fighting competitions he enters and he’s been dating a bunch. Maybe we could get his final answer.”

“Angelina is special, Tye. I already see that. We’ve tried to get her out of our heads. Hell, we’ve tried to the point of nearly bringing every dark-haired beauty to bed we came across and ultimately couldn’t go through with the sex. I’d say that you and I know we want her, so we need to decide when to confront her.”

“It’s not that easy and you know it. I think that the moment we bring Angelina around Terrance, Lucifer, and Jacque, then they’ll want her, too.”

“Well, isn’t that the point of waiting? Her sisters are involved with ménage relationships. It’s not like we have to explain our wants and desires to her.”

“Look at her body, her petite size, and her sweet personality. The woman is a sex goddess with the personality of a Catholic schoolgirl.”

Mike and Tye chuckled.

“She didn’t sound like a Catholic schoolgirl when she just told us off.”

Mike looked toward the kitchen. Angelina had yet to return.

“We need to talk to the others. I’m thinking about her all dressed up, going out with her friends for a good time and all those twenty-something-year-old horny guys trying to get up her skirt. I can’t take it.” Mike threw down his napkin.

Tye dropped his fork and suddenly appeared as if he’d lost his appetite, too.

“She’s not easy. She doesn’t sleep around.”

“I’m not saying that she’s easy. I’m not a hypocrite, Mike. If she did sleep with a few guys, I’m not one to judge her on that. Look at all of us? Look at those parties we’ve gone to.”

“That reminds me. We have one next Friday night.”

“I know. Maybe that will be the last one we go to.”

Tye looked toward the kitchen door, noticing Angelina talking with an older couple by the front of the dining area. She was a gorgeous young woman, but he and his brothers had special interests and needs. They lived a completely different lifestyle than what Angelina was used to. He didn’t want to hurt her, but the need to have her was turning into desperation.

“So Mike and Tye were acting like your fathers?” Elle asked Angelina as Vera drove the car.

“Pretty much. It was so stupid. I mean they acted like I’m a teenager and were reprimanding me.” Angelina shook her head as she held her purse on her lap.

“I think you should forget about them and move on. I mean, I know they’re smoking hot and rich, but damn, Angelina, you’re a hottie. Men drool over you wherever we go. You have your choice of men, so why not take your pick and go for it?” Vera asked.

“She has a point. They’re obviously not interested in you for whatever reason,” Elle said.

“You know I’m not like that. I can’t even let a guy kiss me unless there are feelings there. I’m not going to do something stupid just because Mike and Tye pissed me off. Let’s just stop talking about them or it will ruin the night. So where are we headed anyway?”

Vera and Elle smiled.

“Dominate,” Vera said with attitude. Angelina gasped then got so excited.

“Holy shit! How the hell are we going to get in there? It’s like the hardest.”

Vera blew on her fingernails.

“You know that guy Felix I met last night? He just happens to work there.”

“Wow, Vera, I’m impressed. You must be good,” Elle teased and Angelina chuckled.

“Practice makes perfect.”

Elle and Angelina laughed as Vera smoothed her hands down her sides and then cupped her breasts adjusting the cleavage.

Angelina sometimes wondered how she even kept her virginity hanging around Vera and Elle. They were so outspoken and wild sometimes. Their experience with men scared Angelina. Plus, her two best friends dressed so provocatively, while Angelina dressed more conservatively. Like tonight, Vera and Elle had on sexy, tight-fitting outfits that showed every bit of curve they had. Both women were super thin with average-size breasts but pretty faces. They were good looking. Elle had long brown hair and big green eyes, while Vera had short strawberry-blonde hair in a bob to her shoulders and big blue eyes.

Angelina could never fit her boobs into dresses like theirs. She also didn’t like advertising her body, so tonight she wore a very classy red, strapless dress that landed above her knees but flared out slightly so it wasn’t too hard to sit down. Her heels were high and her jewelry simple. A small single pearl hung from her neck by a thin, nearly transparent wire. She kept her hair down and wore matching earrings.

It was almost ten by the time they arrived at the club. The line of people waiting to get in wrapped all the way to the corner.

“Holy crap. Are you sure about this, Vera?” Elle asked as she located a parking spot two blocks up the street.

Vera was on her cell phone texting.

“All set. Just walk up front and give our names.” Vera smiled.

They locked up the car and headed down the two blocks. Angelina saw all the people who just seemed to give the three of them the stare down. It took guts to walk the waiting line and confidently approach the head bouncer. If this guy were messing with Vera, they would look like a bunch of idiots.

Elle gave her a bump in the side. “You checking out the prospects, Angelina, because these men are checking us out.” Angelina dared not look around. She wanted to get into Dominate and see what all the hype was about. Sure enough, as they approached the bouncers at the front of the line, their names were on the list. The three very large men were dressed in black, and one was wearing a black blazer. He spoke into his sleeve and Angelina knew this was a top-notch place and security was high.

“Felix was expecting you, ladies. Please, enjoy your evening at Dominate,” he told them, and Angelina saw the way he and the other bouncers looked Elle and Vera over. Then they looked at her. The one guy winked.

“Nice. Have fun,” he whispered as she passed by.

The loud music could be heard outside the main entrance. As they entered, the lights were dim and an ultraviolet blue light illuminated the walkway to the club. There were numerous bars all illuminated with this rather classy blue lighting. The place reeked of high class, and even the people dressed like they were loaded.

A group of people were being loud in one corner booth as the waiter popped a cork on champagne and a guy with a short beard roared as he held a thin, young blonde around the waist. Numerous women surrounded him. She tried to take in all the different sights. She was awestruck and suddenly feeling out of sorts.

“This place is amazing. We’re bound to meet some classy guys here,” Elle said as they continued to follow the crowd.

Vera began to wave to someone and immediately the three of them recognized Felix, from the bar last night.

“Good evening, ladies, and welcome to Dominate.” He pulled Vera into an embrace and kissed her deeply. His hands roamed along her ass, and he gave it a squeeze as if he owned her. Angelina swallowed hard. She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Felix was a nice-looking man and very well dressed.

“Ladies, if you would like a drink from the bar, it’s on me tonight.”

“Oh yeah.” Elle made a beeline toward the bar to order a drink. Angelina looked around and slowly followed Elle. As they sipped their martinis, Angelina and Elle people watched and talked about the sights.

“This is one hell of an establishment. I wonder who owns it,” Elle said.

“Someone with great taste and a lot of money, that’s for sure. Those guys over there are drinking Dom Pérignon like it’s water. Look at all the bottles,” Angelina whispered.

“Is that expensive?”

“Hell yeah. Depending on the year, it can go for four hundred to two thousand dollars.”

“Per bottle?” Elle asked as she nearly choked on her drink.

Angelina nodded her head.

She really liked the setup of the place and the atmosphere. As she crossed her legs and finished her first martini, some guy came up to Elle and began to talk with her. He looked like he was some kind of businessman and a bit older than Elle, but Elle didn’t care. She was here to party.

“Martini, shaken not stirred, two olives. Am I correct?”

Angelina turned around to see a very stunning-looking gentleman holding two martinis in his hands. He stared into her eyes and she felt a flutter of interest. It was just the beginning of the night, but so far the prospects were looking good.

“How did you know?” she asked as he passed her the glass then leaned against the bar very close to her. She remained seated on the stool with her legs crossed and her shoulders back. She didn’t want to seem nervous.

“I was watching you. I saw you the moment you entered with your two friends.”

“Hmm,” she replied nonchalantly and as if she were not the least impressed with his opening line.

“I figured I’d better come over right away, before someone else beat me to it and I never got a chance to learn your name.”

He was good and he was attractive with dark blond hair and dark brown eyes. There was something in those eyes that put her feminine instincts on alert. Was it good, was it bad, did she even care right now?

“So, what is your name?” he whispered as he closed his eyes and tilted his head back. She got the chills from his move.

“Angelina.”

He refocused on her.

“My name is Charles. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Angelina.” He reached his hand out to shake hers, and when their fingers touched, he gave her hand a squeeze. It was very mechanical and cold. She pulled her hand back.

“Is this your first time at Dominate?” he asked her, and she nodded her head. He moved closer and whispered next to her ear.

“Do you know about the private rooms in the back?”

She looked at him.

“No, what goes on in there?” she asked, but then thought she shouldn’t have by the way the guy was speaking with her. His eyes zeroed in on her breasts, her face, and her eyes. He made her feel self-conscious.

“I’ll show you later, after we get better acquainted.”

Glancing to the right, she saw Elle walking with the man she had just met. He was leading her away, and now Charles turned to watch and smiled as he took a sip from his drink.

“Your friend is very interested in the back room.”

“She’s never been here either. Maybe I should follow her to make sure she’s okay.”

Charles placed his hand on her knee, stopping her from moving off the stool.

“She’s in good hands. Don’t worry.”

Angelina was worried. She didn’t like the feeling she had, and she also didn’t like the drink she was sipping. She felt the alcohol immediately. She went to place it on the bar and nearly missed the edge. Charles grabbed her hand and stepped closer to her.

“I think maybe you need a change of scenery. Perhaps a walk to burn off the drink?” he suggested as he helped her up off the stool. Something wasn’t right. The room began to spin and she found herself leaning into Charles as he walked her somewhere.

“I need to use the ladies’ room,” she mumbled.

“I’ll take you. Just stay with me. We’re going to have a lot of fun tonight. I promise, my little beauty.” She felt his lips against her cheek and neck, and she tried to pull away, but his hold was firm. He led her down a hallway and to a room.

“It’s another crazy night. Look at that blonde right there. Damn, she’s got a nice ass,” Reynolds stated as he looked at the surveillance cameras at the club.

“Sure does. Did you see Felix’s latest toy? She looked good, too. But the black-haired beauty was the hottest thus far,” Ben added as Terrance walked into the surveillance room.

“You guys seen Felix?” Terrance asked.

“Yeah, he’s on break. Met some cute chick and her friends downstairs. He’s in the corner with her and the other two are at the bar, right here,” Reynolds said.

“Damn that woman is hot. Look at her legs. She’s all class,” Ben stated.

Their boss, Terrance, pushed between them. “Zoom in on her, the one in the red dress.”

“Yes, sir,” Reynolds said then zoomed the camera in.

“Holy shit,” Terrance whispered.

“She’s hot, boss. We noticed her the moment she entered the club,” Ben said.

“Keep an eye on her. You said she came in with Felix and two women?” he asked.

“Yep. These two,” Reynolds stated then played back the video of when they first entered the club.

“Get Felix on the line for me,” Terrance ordered.

“Hey, looks like some big guy is making a play on her now. Brought over two drinks,” Ben said. Terrance watched as they shook hands and she accepted the drink.

“Watch her and let me know what’s going on. I’m downstairs on the main floor if you need me,” Terrance stated then left the room.

“That was weird,” Reynolds said to Ben.

“Yeah, never seen the boss show interest in a woman like that. He must know her.”
