“Just us tonight,” he answers and I smile. I will get to flirt and tease him all I want.
“So, where are you taking me?”
“It’s a surprise, Princess. Patience.”
I return a pouty face.
A few minutes into our drive, he gets a call from Bruce and connects it to his earpiece. I can tell he’s not too happy about the call his grip tightens on the steering wheels. He hangs up the call and exhales. I know things aren’t good.
“Everything ok?” I ask in subtle tone.
“No, Bruce just shared information on something I need to take care of like, right away.”
“Okay. We can head back home, and you can go take care of the stuff.”
“We can’t even afford to go back; that’s how urgent it is. We’ll go there and I’ll get the stuff I need, then we will go on our date.”
“Are you sure, Daniel? I don’t mind going back home.”
“I’m sure that I’m taking you on a date tonight. This is just a temporary detour. I promise princess” he says but he looks torn
“Okay.” I sit back, but I can tell he’s quite upset.
Not to poke, I remain quiet as we drive in a direction I’m unaware off. The gated place said, “The Edge”.We drive down a long driveway. I almost thought it was a side road, then I see the large building with lots of expensive cars parked to the side. A few drivers sit in the car, some stand by the car or sit on the hood.
“Where are we?” I ask, a bit nervous. I trust him but this place feels like middle of nowhere, creepy.
“Somewhere I never want to take you to, but I must tonight, if I want to end the nightmare of my client.”
“Should I be worried?”
“No, I will keep you safe.”
I nod and watch him go around to open my door. He takes my hand and kisses both hands.
“Anu, I need you to trust and follow all the instructions I tell you tonight. Do not deviate from my instructions.”
“I can wait in the car with the doors locked.”
“I can’t leave you in the car, princess.”
“Where are we?”
“We are at a high-profile sex club calledThe Edge. I am a member, which is why I could get through the gate. I must accost a guy here; he’s trying to use his power and influence to ruin the life of a female client that I’m helping. Bruce and I have been trying to get this guy for weeks, and we just found him. I can’t let him get away. That is why I didn’t turn back. I also don’t want you here, but I don’t have a choice. So, when we walk in there, you must do everything I tell you.”
I nod.
“Will someone grab me?”
“Not when you are with me.”
I nod, though nervous. I do trust him.
The lobby is sumptuous, with a grand chandelier, marble floors and gold wall trims on the walls. I hold on tight to Danielwhen two tall and menace-looking men with guns step aside at the elevator. We ride in silence to the basement, two floors down. I cling to him when I see people in leather clothing and some in masks. A few hold sex toys or whips; some women are in panties only with their breast hanging out. Daniel pushes a button, and we enter a room that’s blue, with two women behind a counter.
“Welcome, Mr. Wyler,” the ladies greet in a velvety tone with wide smiles.
“I need the gray room.” Daniel’s voice is icy, which seems to startle them.
