Slowburn

Chapter 48

        Mr. Moretti was young, maybe in his late twenties, but he gave off the air of someone important. Those green eyes cast down to Raquel when she greeted him and swept back over to me. I liked the color combination of his suit. It brought out his other features well. He knew that though. He seems like a man who knows everything before it's happening. 

"You're early, sir. Would you care for a drink at the bar or are you ready to have the room?" She asked him, but still her voice was unlike herself. "I'd like the room" his smooth voice slipped past us like silk. 

"Have a good evening, sir" I bowed my head and was ready to walk out until a warm hand enclosed over my hand, stopping me. I glanced down at his well manicured hand, but he'd released me just as quickly as he'd grabbed me. 

"Are you new?" He asked me. He had two accents mixing here. New York and Italy. But in a sophisticated way if that makes any sense. 

        We stood just inside the doorway facing one another, but Raquel had disappeared, probably to round the troops. "I am, but I don't work the front rooms" I let him know. His lips twitched and they were nice lips. "Well, this isn't the front room. It's the back" his eyes moved about the room to make his teasing point. I smiled. "Let me rephrase that, sir. I work in the office" I clarified.

"Why on earth would a goddess like you be hiding behind a desk?" His brow arched and his eyes took me in again. It made me blush. 

"I assure you, the other women here are much more beautiful. I know you'll find something you like" I smiled shyly at him, but was sure to walk away without looking back. His presence makes a girl's heart race. 

        I went back to the office and did a few things, but then there was a lull in the job like there tends to be. I could work less hours because I can get everything done in half the time, but I need the hours to make money, so I just call these 'lull periods'. 

"Oh my god, is he here?!" I heard a few excited gasps, so I stood from the desk and leaned into the door frame to see the girls. "Kat, you have to see him. There's this guy that we obsess about here. He doesn't come often, but when he does he tips incredibly well and he's always picking one favorite of the night and let's just say...I've heard great things about how those girls night's end" Teagan clapped her hands in excitement. 

"Is it Mr. Moretti?" I asked her. She paused and tipped her head. "You know him?" I chuckled and shook my head. "I was cleaning the room and I ran into him on my way out. He's stunning" I agreed with her.

"I heard he has a big cock" Rebel came walking out of the closet room completely naked and with no shame. I tend to look away just because I feel incredibly awkward being with naked strangers. 

"I'm changing my outfit. If Moretti is here I need my best stuff" Teagan scurried off into the closet room. I stood there and listened to them gossip for ten minutes about this guy. They had me so intrigued by the end. I guess they don't know much about him. They know he's a big time businessman in New York, and they know he gives off that air of danger that makes you want him even more. 

That's all they know, aside from speculation on penis size. 

        Raquel came jogging in. "Okay the full party is here I need you girls out and ready" she called on those who were working the back room. "Kat, may I speak with you?" She came up to me. I nodded, but furrowed my brows when I saw her conflicted face. "Okay, so minor situation here..." she didn't start off well. "Oh gosh, what happened?" My gut soured. 

"Moretti and Renzo are long time buddies...or, I don't know how friendly they actually are, but they've been in a lot of the same business circles and his business matters here. Moretti asked Renzo if he could 'have something that wasn't on the menu'...and Renzo said yes" she cringed.
