Dark Touch

Returning The Favor

Once again though, I felt that same rush in the pit of my stomach as the adrenaline fueled me, walking through the dozens of people in precarious sexual positions and scenarios.

"This is so hot," Hannah said, her hand clutching onto mine, the heat getting to both of us. I looked around and from the corner of my eye I spotted none other than Trish. She noticed me in that same moment, stopping her conversation with another exceptionally dressed person, walking our way.

"Oh Angel, so wonderful to see you back," she said, pulling me in giving me a tight hug. As she pulled away, she placed a small kiss on the corner of my mouth, not catching my surprise, considering I knew what to expect coming here. "And you brought a beautiful young friend," she said, turning and pulling Hannah in as well, her hug lasting a bit longer, and much more sensual.

"Hannah, this is Trish. I met her when my car broke down. She came to my rescue and brought me here," I said, grateful it was her who stopped that night.

"Oh, I was just doing my civil duty. I couldn't let a beauty like you stay on the side of the road," she spoke, letting her hand run through my hair. Then like a gust of wind, I felt a strong presence from behind me. I turned to see a shirtless and very sexy Lucas standing there, making my heart drop to my stomach.

He grabbed my hand and lifted it to his mouth, kissing it softly. "My Angel... you look stunning tonight," he said, looking deep into my eyes. He then turned letting go of my hand, the feeling disappearing to my disappointment. He grabbed onto Hannah's bringing to his lips as well, making another feeling replace the flutters.

"And I see you brought your lovely roommate," he spoke to her as she gave her usual beautiful seductive smile. I couldn't be jealous. Not when she let me do what I did with Ben.

"I'm Hannah, and this place is gorgeous," she complimented as he nodded in thanks.

"Tell me Hannah. What are you looking for tonight?"

"Oh well, I guess I'm feeling a little dominant tonight. I'd like to whip someone maybe," she chirped as I felt myself falling into the background.

"Well, there is nothing sexier than an assertive woman," he purred, grabbing a hold of her hand. "Let's see if we can find you some satisfaction," he spoke, turning to Trish.

"Keep an eye on my Angel now, Love," he said, winking at me before whisking my best friend away. This couldn't feel any worse. A part of me felt so rejected. Why couldn't I be assertive and dominant? Now I lost the guy I was crazy about because I couldn't step up. What was all that practice with Ben for if I didn't get to use it?

"Come with me. Let's get you a drink," she said, grabbing my hand now and leading me to the bar. "What would you like?" She said as I thought for a moment before deciding on a simple gin and tonic.

"Do you think... "I began, partly thinking out loud and partly wanting Trish to ask me.

"Do I think?" She asked, turning to me.

"Do you think Lucas was into my friend?" I asked, feeling insecure for even bringing it up now.

She chuckled, wrapping her arm around mine. "Your friend is a gorgeous girl and Lucas... well he loves when girls are falling all over him, but he is easily distracted himself," she responded, making my stomach drop.

"Oh, I just... He had me wear this bracelet, so I thought..." I trailed off again not knowing what I thought exactly. It was an open-minded sexual club. Why did I think I was given such a personal invite?

"Well, it's obvious you are innocent, and he loves fresh meat. He can also be jealous. He wants you waiting in the wings while he enjoys the other flavors of the night. But don't worry dear, he'll make his way back to you before the end of the night," she said, rubbing my shoulder, downing the rest of her drink. Waiting in the wings? Is that what he expected?
