House of Pleasures

Chapter 11

***

She was at his door step again, and when he opened it, she barged in.

-Who is Lexy Sanders?

-What?

Alex was sitting on his bed, with a laptop on his lap.

-How do you know her?

-How do you...?

-Tell me. Now.

-I... -If you don't tell me the truth i am leaving! Now!

She turned around and started walking. She was stopped yet again.

-I owned the House of Pleasures,- he talked quiet.

-You? Lilian turned around.

-Yes.

-Who is she?

-We had a special room.

-I don't know if i want to hear this...

-Lilian, just listen to me...

-Why did you want me so badly? Was it because we look the same? Or did you think i was her? A? Tell me what was on your mind while we were having sex!?

Alex stood still and stayed calm.

-That's what i thought. How could you?

She turned around and carried on walking away.

-Lilian, wait!

She was starting to run away. Her breathing was faster then ever and her heart was pounding, it felt like it's gonna jump out of her throat.

Lilian sat down in an alley, crying her eyes out. She didn't want this. She wanted it all to be lie.

-Lilian!- a voice called from a distance and came closer every time,- Lilian.

Alex sat beside her holding her against his chest.

-Come with me and i will tell you everything, just, please, come with me...

He tried to get her up on her feet, and then, he just carried her bridal style. All the way to his apartment, or room, to be honest.

Her hands were around his neck and she cried silently.

-Don't cry, Lilian,- he whispered and put her on the bed.- look at me.

She didn't want to see him, so she just stayed there, here head down, listening what he had to say.

-When i first saw you... I did think that you are Lexy, but when i find out more about you, everything was clear, that you are not her.

-But you wanted me to be...- she said back.

-At first, i did... But no, not anymore.

-Oh yeah? Why don't you visit her in the hospital then? If you wanted her so much you could have gone to...- Alex didn't let her finish.

-In hospital? What do you mean? She died in that explosion!

-Lexy is alive.

Alex took a step back, turning around, walking closer to the window.

-How is that even possible?

-Why don't you ask her?

-Lilian... -Stop it!

Don't you dare to call my name one more time!

-Do you want to hear more truth? I can tell you! I am not afraid of what you could think of me after you know it all!

-Try me,- she said with anger in her voice.

-When i hit pubertity, everyone was having sex, when i had it for the first time, the girl i was with, didn't let me finish so i didn't get the sweet satisfaction... After that, i dated girls, like every other guy, we slept together, but i never came, as much as i wanted to.

-What is this? A science lesson?

-Please, just...

-How did you get a whore house!?

-After the car crash, my parents asked scientists to build me this hand, only when i was almost twenty, i find out where my father got so much money. He owned the House of Pleasures, and my mom new about it.

-And?

-I was twenty one, when i found the place and sneaked in, to see what is that all about. I discovered that it is a brothel, so i stole money from my father and checked in as one of the customers. First time in my life i saw the fear in that girls eyes when she saw my arm.

-How did you hide your arm before?

-Long sleeve shirts, jackets, and different color gloves. People thought i like rock music.

-Did that girl sleep with you?

-No. We talked all night, and my father barged in, finding us half naked on that bed, so he dragged me to his office and started teaching me. I took all my courage and started to blame him, that he owns whore house, and that we lived on that dirty money. And you know what? He heard the girl crying, telling, that she was so scared of me doing something with that arm, that my father got an idea.

-Oh, gosh,- Lilian stood up,- he wanted you to be the new owner?

-No. He wanted to see how is my dick.

-What the fuck?

-That's what i asked. But he explained me, that he could give me a job, and i needed one, so... I started to work in the big room, for couples and threesome lovers. I was a guard. Sitting on my throne, watching others. I must tell you the first five years were most terrifying.

-Why? -Seeing others having so much fun, made my cock stiff everytime, but then i find out a way how to controle it. They started to call me the "head".

-When was the last time you did all that... With ...uhm...

-With prostitutes? It's been four years and a half. I became a person i wanted to be. Better.

Lilian came closer to Alex, grabbing his metal arm. That was truth. She knew him like he was, not the person most people feared. She wondered, if Lexy was scared of him as well.

-You are a good men.

-No. Not really. I thought Lexy was dead, as much as i tried to look for her, nothing was ever found, and now you...

-What about me?

-You are going to leave me... Aren't you?

-Do you want me to?

-No.

-Alex, i...

-Shhh. Don't say anything. I don't want to hear your sorrys. Yes, it has always been hard, and yes, it will be, but, i just want you to know, that you, Lilian, are the first person to know the truth.

It striked her. Alex trusted her, so he told her everything.

-Why?

-What?

-You told me all that.

-I want to be with you.

-And that is it?

-That will never be it. I want you by my side.

-Alex, but...

-You have time to think about it... And whenever you were ready, you will know where to find me.
