Chapter 27: Tipping the Velvet

Laura's exit did not go unnoticed by the guys at the bar. The taller of the two made a beeline for where I was sitting, a drink in his hand and a dangerous look in his eye.

"This seat taken?"

"It's a free country," I said uninterested, hardly looking at the man sliding into the booth beside me.

When I looked back over at the bar, the other man had disappeared. My eyes roved over a couple of tall brunettes reclining against the bar that were way out of my league.

"So, what are a pair of lovely ladies like you two doing here alone?" the man next to me edged slowly closer.

"Actually, we came together," I retorted icily.

Far from deterring him, I only seemed to have encouraged him more. His bulky thigh brushed mine under the table and I could smell his musky cologne thick and strong as he leant in towards me.

"Mmm, hot," he purred in my ear, "Don't suppose you two fancy getting to grips with something a little harder later by any chance?"

"Here's an idea, how about you keep your dick in your trousers rather than your personality."

I shoved his hand away from my thigh, simultaneously elbowing him in the ribs, and headed in the direction I'd last seen Laura walking. Another corridor flooded with black lighting led away from the main room. I glanced around and then took my chances. The music was becoming distant and murky, and my head was pounding. I could hear voices so kept going, following my ear. When the corridor came out into a rosy-lot back room, I stopped dead in the door way, unable to believe what I was seeing.

Laura was spread eagle on an ox blood leather couch, a tall muscular man between her thighs. Her nails were digging into the seat and her lip was caught between her teeth. The guy gave one final thrust and threw his head back in release. It was the other man from the bar.

I felt sick. I stumbled from the room, not wanting to see anymore. I headed back down the corridor wanting to get out of this place as soon as possible. I'd planned on just heading back to the car and waiting there for Laura to finish with her sex toy. Somehow I must have taken a wrong turn from the back room and ended up in the toilets of the club. Glossy black walls and countless mirrors made the room seem endless. I checked each cubicle but thankfully I was alone. I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror but it was like a stranger was staring back at me. My face was slightly flushed and my hair was a mess. A single tear graced my cheekbone before my legs gave out coompletely. I slid to the floor, shaking and sobbing, unable to control myself any longer. How could she do this to me? I thought I special. I really thought we had something. Guess I thought wrong.

I heard a door swing open behind me and quickly wiped my eyes on the back of my hand. A petite blonde in a stunning white dress had just entered followed by the man that had joined me at my table.

"This is the ladies," I said, getting to my feet, trying to sound a lot more confident than I felt.

"I won't tell if you don't," the guy winked at me. "I'm Tony and this is..."

"Natalia," the gorgeous blonde finished for him.

"I'm Lilah, everyone calls me Lily though," I introduced myself, suddenly feeling a lot more hospitable.

"Lovely to meet you," Natalia leaned in and kissed me on both cheeks.

"Natalia and I were just about to get amped," Tony stated producing a small plastic packet filled with white powder and a £50 note.
