The Irresistible Bundle (46 page)

Chapter Two

"Please tell me we aren't spending the summer helping Valentino and Marco open their new club" Desirae whined as they loaded the last box of items into Andrea's car. It seemed like all they did lately was help the men get stuff together for the grand opening of their nightclub.

"Nope" Carina confirmed. "Grand opening is in two weeks. Big stuff is all done. Marco likes to see to the fine details himself."

"Great news" Andrea squealed as she hung up the phone. Desirae and Carina looked at her as she bounced in place. "Our request was approved!"

Desirae shrieked while Carina beamed. They'd fought hard and won the summer housing assignment! Sati and Andrea were going to be roommates while Carina and Desirae remained together. The icing on the cake was the fact that they were being moved to a better floor with a bathroom that connected their rooms. Their grades and collective funding allowed them the upgrade from their sterile dorm rooms to this "wing".

Carina's phone rang through all the excitement. She looked down and smiled at Nicholas' name. The man was a shameless flirt but he was also a great friend and business partner. Carina's thighs squeezed together as she recalled their first romp around the sheets.

"Hey stranger" She purred into the phone.

"Hey sexy" Nicholas' tenor voice oozed through the phone. "I know Valentino's kept you busy lately..."

Carina's husky laugh rippled through the phone. She knew Nicholas wanted to see her at the estate more often. "To get
your
club opened" she emphasized.

He chuckled. "I'd like to see you... Wanted to present something to you" Nicholas stated. "Bring Desirae if you'd like."

Carina paused. She nibbled her lip unsure of how to take this request. It was no secret that Nicholas was interested in her but his tone sounded more professional than personal. "We have to transfer some items to the new club as it is" Carina replied. "Andrea is with us but I'm sure she wouldn't mind taking a look around."

"She can join you as well" He suggested. He wanted Carina to feel as comfortable as possible while he made the offer. "I'll see you soon."

"Looks like Nicholas wants to speak to us about something" Carina informed the girls as she hung up the phone.

"Does he want an encore performance" Desirae snickered as they hopped into the car.

"He didn't say" Carina shrugged. "But it sounded more businesslike than personal."

"Okay" Andrea replied as she drove away from Valentino's Club 69. "
Hedonism
here we come" she called out as they drove towards the estate.

Carina led the way to Nicholas' office as Desirae and Andrea trailed behind. Every time they entered the ostentatious estate they gawked at something new. The erotic wall art; the sensuous sculptures strategically placed throughout, and the scantily clad staff and guests ensnared all newcomers.

"Let's go" Carina huffed as she ushered her two friends into Nicholas' office. Nicholas stood from behind his desk and walked around to greet them. He kissed each of the young women as they situated themselves.

"Thank you for taking the time to see me ladies" Nicholas greeted. Three sultry smiles made Nicholas shift in his seat. These three were troublemakers through and through. They were meant to be under his roof. "I wanted to know what your plans for this summer were..."

Desirae shrugged her shoulders knowing she had no plans. Anything that kept her away from home was good enough for her. "Wherever Carina is" she replied.

Carina rolled her eyes at her best friend. Her brother Diego had graduated from an Ivy League school barely two weeks ago with the intention of pursuing his graduate degree closer to them. This left their summer wide open to play long and hard until he officially moved into town.

"We'll be visiting family at some point before school starts again but we have no solid commitments as of now." Carina replied.

"Will you be going home for July 4
th
?" Nicholas inquired.

Carina leaned back in her chair. Her parents usually hosted a big party but Carina and Diego wouldn't be missed if they didn't attend. Diego hadn't attended the extravagant summer bash since he'd gone away to college. At first Carina resented him for it but now that she was away from home she better understood. "I don't think so" Carina watched as Desirae's shoulders slumped. "Diego mentioned something about coming here to be with us for it" she added. Carina smirked as she watched her best friend's freckles disappear under the bright flush of her skin. She looked forward to the day Desirae admitted to her crush over her brother.

"How would you like to earn some money this summer having fun?" Nicholas offered. Andrea leaned forward as Desirae perked up.

"We're not hooking or anything" Desirae narrowed her eyes at Nicholas.

"This is a sex club not a brothel!" Carina smacked her best friend. The things that came out of Desirae's mouth never ceased to amaze her.

"Again tell me the difference" Desirae challenged.

"The difference is" Nicholas interjected, "People pay steep annual membership dues to be a part of this very exclusive club. They're required to submit to semiannual health assessments and can have their membership terminated for any number of offenses. They don't pay people money to have sex with them. They pay to have rights to access the club and partake in all its amenities and festivities. If someone chooses to have sex under this roof it's because it's consensual and personal, not a business transaction."

Desirae flinched but nobody noticed. "Plus Nicholas has rubbers in every nook and cranny" Andrea chirped.

"What did you have in mind" Carina brought the conversation back full circle. Andrea and Desirae were notorious for going off on crazy tangents. Nicholas piqued her interest. There were countless jobs within these gates that would interest her.

"Whatever it is I want a costume" Desirae demanded. Andrea rolled her eyes as Nicholas chuckled with amusement.

"As you know Valentino, Marco, and I have partnered up to open our new club soon." Nicholas stated. The girls nodded their heads as they waited for him to continue. "The club will intertwine the vision of both of our current clubs. It will be your typical nightclub in the sense of food, liquor, and music but it will mesh with the estate adding that flare of sensuality that Valentino may not be able to usually get away with at Club 69."

"What will make it unique?" Carina tilted her head in curiosity. Valentino hadn't spoken much about the new club and it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary from other places. She'd been to enough clubs to say,
been here done that
. Girls in cages and go-go dancers were nothing new to the scene.

"Weekend nights there will be special acts every hour, on the hour" Nicholas replied as the seed planted in his mind. He didn't actually have something like this already in place but it made perfect sense. They were exactly what the club needed. He'd seen and heard what the little vixens were capable of. "I envision performing erotic scenes on stage that will arouse but not overstep the boundary to get anyone arrested or the club shut down. There will be choreographed dance numbers, musical acts..."

"That's ambitious..." Carina challenged. "Do you intend to change the act based on your audience? Will the club be open certain nights to the estate's members only?"

"This is why I want to hire you Carina!" Nicholas exclaimed. "I hadn't thought things out that far." They were actually brilliant points. Little did the girls realize that he was just brainstorming ideas with them and seeing what stuck.

"What do you want from me specifically?" Carina inquired.

"I'd like you ladies to help develop the themes and ideas for the nightclub. I'd love if you all would perform certain acts - whatever you're comfortable with but I heard about the numbers you performed at Club 69; something to that effect."

"You mean I can't wear that French maid costume" Desirae pouted. "Don't you have a naughty nurse that attends to minor injuries on premises? I can be security and wear my dominatrix costume!"

Nicholas tossed his head back and laughed as Desirae continued to throw out suggestions. Carina rolled her eyes as her best friend's ideas became more and more outrageous.

"So you don't actually want us for
Hedonism
and you want us to work weekends" Carina surmised. Desirae's eyes widened with the realization of lost club nights and a summer long commitment.

"I didn't say I wanted you ladies to be my sole act" Nicholas carefully replied. He recognized the minefield he was stepping into. "I'd like to hire you three specifically to be the guest relations for the estate. The hostess admits each member and directs them to their rightful place. Staff members are hired and assigned to maximize guest experiences but I don't really have anyone who is specifically there to ensure guests are making the most of their membership and enjoying themselves. I hear about complaints and suggestions but I often hear too late about why people don't renew their memberships. They don't realize the extent of what
Hedonism
has to offer or are too shy to step through the door of a room they want to visit. This is where I envision you ladies stepping in. During the summer the club specializes in themes and many club members miss out because they head straight to their usual areas and never look around."

"So we're your ice breakers... guides... friendly faces..." Andrea clarified.

"Yes" Nicholas looked between the three beauties. They offered three different tastes for members and their guests: Carina with her black hair, olive skin, and Spanish curves; Andrea with her mocha skin and hazel eyes; and Desirae with her chocolate hair and signature freckles. "You'll represent the estate therefore you'll dress based on the designated theme or whatever role you want to focus on. I love the idea of Desirae dressing in her Dom costume and encouraging members to visit the dungeon. It isn't meant for only our hardcore members."

"Do you have special events in the summer like you had for New Years?" Desirae inquired. Holidays meant they had to work,
if
they committed....

"We have two major events in the summer. Independence Day..."

"Of course" Desirae muttered.

"And summer solstice" Nicholas finished ignoring Desirae's pouty expression.

"Summer solstice" Desirae scoffed. "What like you celebrate summer or something?"

"Something like that" Nicholas dryly replied as he looked at the fiery brunette.

"Are you looking for us to work every day of the week" Andrea counted off on her fingers, "Or do you want us to work the estate during the day Friday through Sunday and the club in the night?"

"It's entirely negotiable" Nicholas replied diplomatically. "If you only want to work the nightclub one of the weekend nights... with or without the other girls in your group, and work the estate on specified afternoons or evenings - it's all your call. I'm flexible."

"We still want to be able to enjoy our summer" Andrea demanded.

"And you will" Nicholas assured them. "I won't have you on a fixed schedule but I can't promise that you can make your own schedule either. If you're anything like I envision I imagine the nightclub will be at maximum capacity once word goes out about your performances and I anticipate you'll help drive up membership."

"We aren't being expected nor paid to act out any scenes in those viewing rooms, right?" Carina clarified, letting out a deep breath when Nicholas shook his head. As memorable as those scenes were, she didn't want it tainted by being obligated to 'perform'.

Desirae looked between her two friends. Their body language seemed receptive to Nicholas' offer. "How much and when do you want us to start?"

Nicholas' brilliant smile took their breaths away. The man was one fine piece of man-candy. He sat behind his desk and got down to business. It didn't take long for the group to come to a consensus.

"Did you get the email" Jaxon asked his uncle.

"Yes" Richard replied. "Are we heading over there? Tonight's theme is
nocturnal
..."

"What the hell does that even mean?" Jaxon huffed. Nicholas always came up with mind-blowing themes for the sex club. It wasn't always all about sex. Nicholas liked to explore the inner workings of the human mind and push people beyond their comfort limits.

Richard's lip twitched at his nephew's scrunched brows. "We'll see when we get there." Jaxon followed his uncle into the car and eagerly looked forward to the night. It had been months since he'd used his membership at
Hedonism
and he intended to max out his benefits this summer.

"Welcome gentlemen" the hostess greeted Jaxon and Richard. Jaxon's eyes traced the busty blonde's scantily clad figure as she turned and led them into the luxurious foyer.

"It's been a while" Richard murmured as his eyes also followed the barely covered body parts of the hostess. She wore an ivory colored lace teddy with peep-toe stilettos. It was hard to focus on anything else.

"Tonight's theme is all things
nocturnal
" the hostess stated as she ushered them into the common area. Staff members dressed in similar nighties while guests quickly changed out of their regular attire into something more appropriate with the estate's theme. "Feel free to explore the marked rooms for various nightly pleasures."
