I came to the street and looked up. The building was U shaped, moving with the alley, taking up quite a large amount of space. A ridiculous amount of space actually.
Sighing I marched down the street. My heels clicking against cement as I walked down the walkway towards the large double deep green doors. I'm going to kill Ray on Monday for palming this case off to me for the week. I'd being casually avoiding it, leaving it for today, Friday, so hopefully I wouldn't have to deal with it.
Unfortunately, however, Mr Volcan had agreed to a meeting, casually scheduled it for night time and before I could disagree hung up. If Mother and Father knew I was entering a Werewolf Gentlemen's club they'd each have a cow. Probably end up opening their own dairy farm.
Climbing the steps I stood and took a deep breath of courage before taking one of the brass knockers in my hand and knocking. To a regular human that would have being difficult to lift.
I waited, fidgeting with my good luck charm, a ring, the last thing my Nan gave to me before she passed away. A thin gold band that curves at the ends to hold the cream pearl.
A cold breeze chilled my bones and I pulled my coat tighter and breathed heavily into my baby blue scarf. Why did he insist that this be the best time to discuss business? Honestly no one wants to discuss business at this time of night. Isn't he busey entertaining or whatever it is he does here?
The door swung open to reveal a beautiful blonde girl dressed in a lacy red corset and satin high heels. A collar wrapped around her slender neck and lacey fingerless red gloves adorned her hands.
She smiled, a breathtakingly beautiful smile that made her green eyes light up. Her wild blonde bouncy hair came to her shoulder blades and blew in the breeze. Wasn't she freezing?
"You must be Virginia Brooks, my names Cornelia. But you can call me Nelly."
Jealousy coursed through me at her thin frame. My best friend tells me I'm not fat, but what girls going to believe that? She stepped aside as I entered the foyer. I smiled, I liked her she was very friendly and her eyes were sincere. "It's just Virginia, but my Mother calls me Ginny" I said.
She smiled as she shut the door. "It's a pleasure to meet you, here let me take your coat."
The foyer was small, with a plush black carpet on the black and white tiles and golden paint on the walls. Above our heads was a crystal chandelier illuminating the room in golden light. Music was now audiable from the door straight ahead, the vibrations running through my feet. Mr Volcan's gentlemen's club, well at this point it certainly wasn't disappointing.
"This way, he's expecting you." She beamed and opened the door.
I almost gasped. Inside were lots of people, all shifters. However the majority of the women were wearing even skimpier clothing than Nelly and wore collars like her. Even a few of the men wore collars. The men were all dressed similarly, some were wearing crisp suits whilst others wore just a pair of either dress pants or hot pants, some even wore suspenders with no shirts.
As I looked around, the girls with collars were either sitting at a man's feet. One man's hand ran through a girl's hair possessively. While another knelt in bet-ween his knees...oh my gosh.
The walls were decorated in a golden wallpaper pattern with dark oak trim matching the floors. The lounges scattered around were antique leather sofas, fit for a gentlemens club. Antique lamps adorned wooden antique tables. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceilings as well as thick black drapes that sectioned off the room any time they were closed. A wooden bar ran along on side. A tall muscular olive skinned man with dark hair and blue eyes eyed us. He was one of the ones wearing dress pants with suspenders but no shirt.
