TAMING THE VICIOUS STORM (Familiá Altamirano #3)

【ASHERAH: SPECIAL】

4 years ago...

DANCING to the rhythm of sensual music, the sea of men threw their cash at me, but all of it fell on the floor. I bit my bottom lips and seductively flick my lashes. After that, I did a trick to the pole.

Wrapping my legs and arm on the pole simultaneously, I locked my feet from the other before spinning on the pole flawlessly. The audience gets wilder, and the cash on the floor triples.

I continued dancing until the music ended, and the floor became a pool of money. Another dancer replaced me on the stage after taking all the cash. I walked inside the backstage as the audience got wilder.

A full-sized mirror welcomes me. I look at myself in the mirror, realizing that provocative clothes don't really fit me. Pumasok ako sa isang makapal na kurtina bitbit ang mga damit na pamalit ko. Hinawi ko ang sariling buhok at nagsimulang palitan ang suot ko.

"You didn't tell me you can dance," I heard a white man's voice in my ear. "Those pimps obviously drooling over you," he continued.

I rolled my eyes.

"You are the only one who doesn't drool over me, Fin. You are a block of ice to resist my charms,"

I heard him laugh.

"Because we are partners, Ocean," he replied.

I rolled my eyes, stopping myself from smirking.

"Partners don't kissed," I teased him.

"You know that the other agents might hear us, right?"

A smirked drew on my lips before shaking my head.

"Just keep me on ears," sabi ko.

"I won't leave you behind, partner, don't worry," I heard the cockiness in his voice.

Lumabas ako sa kurtina at pinasadahan ang suot kong damit sa salamin. I wore tight leather shorts, a black lace tank top and a maroon fur jacket. I partnered it with black knee boots. Habang ang buhok ko'y nakalugay para matakpan ang kung anong nakasuksok sa tainga ko.

"Rara! I'm glad you are still here! Mr. Layson wanted to invite you to his penthouse later. Are you in? This is a lifetime chance," she whispered in the last sentence.

It was the manager of the club I was working with.

Napangiti ako. "Sure,"

The old Mr. Layson is the boss of a drug syndicate. His underlying was smuggling different kinds of drugs, worse drugs like methamphetamine or also known as crystal meth and fentanyl. They were targeting young and old vulnerable women.

We've been planning to catch them... even the FBI were in too. I got the mission to lead together with the special agents under FBI. I was an FBI special agent before. I have the experience to lead.

Hinapit ako sa baywang ni Mr. Layson and I tried so hard to faked a smile. I felt disgusted for acting as swallow, but I shrugged it away because it would not help our case if he found out the intelligence was after him.

I am used to hiding my emotions and controlling my movements since I always go undercover. I did different undercover roles that helped me to perfect the art of faking.

"Sit here, sweetheart," the old man said.

There was a romantic table date for two on the balcony. The target pulled a chair for me before we decided to eat. Mr. Layson's men were outside the glass panel door, watching us.
