Chapter 1
'GOD please guide me for what I am going to do now, for the sake of my sister this is for her. You take care of me Dear God.' I closed my eyes as I silently prayed. We are now entering the place where the person I am going to serve for the whole night is waiting for me. The person who bought me.
I was escorted by one of the organization's staff. It was very hard for me to step on my foot because of the nervousness, and the speed of my heart beat that I could not understand.
"Miss, are you okay?" The man who is with me now asked. I looked at him and just nodded. Maybe he sensed how I felt right now. We are not allowed to talk to the person who is going to escort us. It is forbidden, except to the event organizer. Because that's the organization's tight rules.
And his voice and appearance are so scary, he looks like a goon with the villains in the movie. I just took a deep sigh.
Little did I know, we already stopped in front of the elevator. And it soon opened and we entered immediately. I couldn't help but to look at my reflection on the elevator wall, as if it were a mirror.
I could not barely recognize myself, they made me so beautiful. They let me wear a black lace see through night dress that was up to half of my thighs. Which to match the color of my skin. I am not very white but also not dark complexions.
Although it was covered with a silky black robe, which reached to the top of my knee. But I still look so sexy in it, and I match it with this three inch high heels sandal which further heightens my height five feet and six inches.
I also wore a lavender colored mask, surrounded by small, shiny stones. That fits on my pretty face, and almost covers half of my face.
I was a little bit surprised by the sound of the elevator signal, which means the elevator had already reached the destination.
"Miss room P-A." He said to me when the elevator opened. I just nodded at him before stepping out.
I roamed my eyes around and stepped to find the said room. I saw it easily, because there were only two doors on this floor.
One was the fire exit at the end, and the other was the door I was going to. That almost occupied half of this floor, because the half was the waiting and rest area.
I was already in front of the door, a few more times I raised my hand to press the doorbell. My chest was about to explode with the extreme of nervousness I was feeling right now.
I took a deep breath before I decided to press it. Soon the door opened, and a man was standing in front of me now. Who also wore a mask that was the color that I was wearing, but for him with the sense of masculine. His hazel brown color eyes are very sharp when staring and his nose is also sharp and pointed. And his lips are those kissable lips.
There is no denying that he is handsome. And OMG, the body swells and the muscles obviously are those well worked out.
There are small letters tattooed on the right of his chest, "Arch." And the abs are really like eight packs that are flattering. Because he is half naked only.
"Hmm, did I pass sweety?" I suddenly looked at his face when I heard him speak, and Oh My God his voice was captivating and uplifting.
My mouth was slightly open, and so my cheeks blushed even more when he smiled as if he was flirting while looking at me.
"You can open your mouth later for me honey." When he spoke again. I suddenly bowed out of shame. I was even shaken when he held my hand. Because of electricity like, flowed through my whole body.
It was like I was burnt in the extreme heat coming from him. Then he pulled me inside his suit, I could not help but be impressed by its beauty and size.
He immediately kissed me as soon as the door closed and leaned me on it. Suddenly my eyes widened in shock, this was my first kiss and his lips were very soft and hot.
One of his hands was on my neck and the other was closed to my waist. He slowly sipped and bit my lower lip. My lips seemed to have a mind of their own and imitated every move of his lips.
That's the reason why his kisses became even more aggressive. "Hmm." I couldn't help but moan at the deliciousness of his kiss.
And I wanted to protest when he suddenly stopped kissing me. "The sweetest lips that I ever tested, sweetie." He whispered breathlessly to me. I hadn't caught enough air when he kissed me again. I clung to his neck when I felt I was slowly rising in the air. He led me into a room, and I slowly felt my back touch the softness of the bed. While he was on top of me, without breaking out our kiss. His hands began to twitch, caressing my arms.
Then I felt his warm palm on my chest. Caressing, squeezing, and I turned out I was wearing nothing while his lips did not stop kissing my lips.
"Ohhh please." I couldn't stop moaning, Even more when his lips dropped to my navel and his tongue twirled around.
"Ohhh god." I couldn't help but to sigh. I feel like I'm going crazy for what he did to my body. I can no longer control myself and my hands like it have their own minds to move.
I tagged at him even more as his lips dropped into my stomach going down there.
It feels so good, I felt the heat on my cheeks. Without breaking his eyes on me he kept on caresing me, I suddenly blushed again as I watched him do what he was doing.
He slowly stood up and took off his pants along with his boxer shorts. And OMG my eyes widened and I felt 'Oh' to what I saw. He's huge. I can't help but to swallow my saliva while looking at it. 'Will it fit on me? God be merciful.'
"Don't worry sweetie it will fit on you trust me." He seemed to read what I was thinking.
"OUCH." A tear fell in my eyes. "Sorry sweety I don't mean to hurt you." As he said to me. "Do you want me to stop?" He asked me with the trace of concern in his voice.
I shook my head. I do not want him to stop what he is doing. He still seemed hesitant, so I gave him a sweet smile. And he started to kiss my lips again.
I SLOWLY got up and picked up my scattered clothes everywhere. Sore down there, and its hard for me to move but I still insisted.
When I had already gotten dressed, I hurriedly walked to the door, gave a last look to him and whispered "Thank you Mr." before I finally left the room.
