Chapter 1
**Disclaimer: This story contains strong s****l content. You must be 18 years or older.**
Something’s off. At least that’s what Lacey has been thinking since she noticed Edward’s unexplained disappearance throughout the night. It started about three weeks ago. She would pretend to be sleeping while Edward quietly whispered on the phone. He would slowly get out of the bed, grab some things, and leave. When he returned, he went straight for the shower. But Lacey wasn’t a fool, she knew he was cheating. The question was with who? Tonight, she decided that she will find out. She played her role well, pretending to be sleeping until he left, but once he pulled out of the driveway of their home, she immediately followed him. Silly man forgot that they shared each other’s location. Lacey and Edward have known each other since they were children. Their parents practically arranged their engagement, but as they grew older, they fell for each other. These last few months, things have changed. He doesn’t seemed to interested in her and when she ask if he’s okay, he’ll give her a one word answer. She drove for what seemed like forever until she found herself going up a hill. When she made it to the top, she noticed a dark building with red lights flashing. She squinted her eyes and searched for Edward’s car as people walked in front of her truck, almost blocking her view. She spotted Edward walking into this building and from the looks of it, it wasn’t his first time being here. The security at the door, hi-fived him as they made a small conversation. She couldn’t exactly make out what they were talking about but she could Edward’s distinctive laugh. She decided to park her truck and shut her lights off. Her heart raced as she became nervous. But she needed to do this. She needed to prove that her fiancé was cheating on her. She took some deep breaths and got out of her truck. As she got closer, she noticed how loud the music was. When she approached the door the security guard placed a hand out stopping her from going any further.
“Name?” He asked in a straightforward voice.
“Uh..um.” Lacey’s mouth began to dry as she cleared her throat and licked her lips. “Lace.”
The security guard looked at his iPad and then looked at her.
“I’m sorry miss, you’re not on the list.”
“Yeah, that’s because it’s my first time here. No one told me that I had to make a reservation,” she lied. She tried to smile against her best efforts.
“Ma’am that’s because it invite only. You’ll only make a reservation if you’re invited. So unless you’re someone’s plus one, I can’t let you in.”
Lacey looked at the door and back to the guard. “Look, I understand and I know that you have a job to do, but it really important that I get in there.”
“Lady, already told you that I can’t let you in.” The steepness in his voice caused her temper to flare. Just as she was getting to unleash fury on the guard, she unexpectedly heard a voice.
“No worries, Simon. She’s with me.” The man came up behind her and placed his hand around her waist. He leaned close enough to whisper in her ear. “Just play along.”
She could feel his bulge on her ass and she failed to hide the way her heart raced. When she looked up at him, her heart sped up even faster. This man was so gorgeous that it was it seemed that he was almost forbidden. His piercing dark, brown eyes had a twinkle. Like he was amused with this interaction. Lacey’s eyes trailed down to his sharp jawline and then his lips. Those lips! Lacey’s mind was fried at the thought of what they could do, what they would taste like. She could imagine how they would feel against hers. His tanned skin had no imperfection and the way his chest was against her back, she knew he was very muscular.
God, I shouldn’t be having these thoughts about him. How contradictory of me.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Newman,” the security guard almost stuttered. He looked at Lacey and apologized to her. Okay, so Mr. Newman was someone that was obviously important.
“It’s fine, Simon. In fact, I should be apologizing. I forgot to add her to the list.”
“Ma’am let’s get you on the list. What’s your name again?”
“Lacey,” she answered. “But please call me, Lace.”
“Lace, huh,” Mr. Newman whispered, causing chills down her neck and spine. She didn’t realized that he was still so close to her nor did she expect him to have this strong effect on her. Hell, she was only trying to find out if her fiancé was cheating. Now it seemed like she wanted to cheat on him.
“Okay, you’re added, Lace. You just need to sign here. It’s NDA.”
She nodded her head and signed the NDA disclosure. The security guard let her in along with Mr. Newman. Once inside, he let her waist go, but grabbed her hand. He led her to the bar as Lacey looked around. She was unsure why she allowed this handsome stranger drag her to the bar, but she wasn’t disappointed. The people were dressed differently from outside. In fact, some of them didn’t have on any clothes.
“Not what you expected?” He asked, snapping her out of her shock.
“Not at all. What is this place?”
“This is Mystical Pleasure. It’s an invite only after hour club.”
Lacey’s body tensed. “What type of club? A s*x club?” Mr. Newman just smirked.
She wondered why Edward was at a s*x club. She thought about their life and noticed that he hasn't been as affectionate as usual. When they had s*x over a month ago, it wasn’t bad. It was more of a quickie. No foreplay, no effort. It felt rehearsed.
“Did you hear what I said?” He asked as his voice interfered with her thoughts.
She frowned, shaking her head.“Um-what?”
He chuckled, flashing his perfect teeth. “I asked what you would like to drink.”
“Jamison.”
“And here I thought you would be a tequila girl,” he smirked.
“Well, you thought wrong Mr. Newman.” Lacey smiled at him as he ordered their drinks and passed her the shot glass. They looked at each other and he smiled again, causing her to return his smile. “Here’s to not being a tequila girl.”
“Cheers.” They clinked glasses and she downed her drink. He ordered a few more and they both downed each one quickly.
She found herself fascinated by him. Maybe it was the buzz, but she imagined some very inappropriate things between her and Mr. Newman. Snap out it!You’re here for a reason and this is not it!
She observed him as he spoke about how the club works. Not only was he handsome as hell, but he knew how to hold a conversation.
He completely distracted her, making her forget that she was inside of a possible s*x club. “So, whats your reason for desperately wanting to get inside of my club? Before she could answer, his phone rang and he had to excuse himself. Lacey relieved a breath as she watched him walk away and then turned to pay for her drinks.
“It’s covered already.” He covered their drinks. She was even more impressed. She took a piece of napkin and wrote him a thank you note. “Can you give this to him for me?” The bartender nodded as she slide the napkin to him.
She got up and walked around becoming more nervous as walked past people who were dancing naked.
“Oh yes!” She heard what sounded like a moan and turned her head only to see a woman getting her p***y eaten by another woman. The pleasure in her face as she began to jerk, made Lacey freeze. Her mind raced. This is a s*x club! Do people really just have s*x in the open like that? And for goodness sake, I’m standing right in the middle of it.
After the woman released, she bent over to suck a random man’s d**k while another man came up and pushed himself inside of her. Finally getting the strength to move, Lacey refocused on her reason for being here. She knew she needed to get away from that before someone got the wrong idea.
She walked until she reached the back where there were doors with small windows. She looked in each one, hoping not to find Edward in one of them.
Her heart broke when she noticed his tattoo on his back. He was definitely cheating on her and she banged on the door. With the music too loud, she was sure he didn’t hear anything. Or maybe he did and was so engulfed into this woman that he drowned out the noise around him.
Tears welled in her eyes. She couldn’t believe it. He was actually cheating on her. She watched as he pounded this woman from behind. When they changed positions, her eyes widened as the person who he was just f*****g wasn’t a woman. It was a man.
“Oh s**t!” She watched in horror as her fiancé was now getting rammed by a man. She didn’t understand why she just stood there to watch. She couldn’t move even when her subconscious mind screamed at her. Edward legs were in the air as this man was on top of him, pumping him. When they finished she ran away. She ran out of the club and into her truck. She was panting as her mind replayed what just happened.
“f**k, f**k, f**k!”
She didn’t understand, if he was gay or bisexual, why didn’t he tell her. She wouldn’t have judged him. Yes, their relationship would’ve changed but, he was her childhood best friend first and despite their relationship, they always were friends first. Besides, her sister is a lesbian. She quickly drove off to go back home. When she got there, she didn’t know what to do. She poured herself another drink and downed it. She leaned on her counter breathing heavily as she tried to shake the thoughts away. She paced back and forth, questioning everything about their relationship. Was it even real? Did he use her to hide who he really is from his family? Is that why the s*x between them started to become boring? Was she boring? Was he ever in love with her? She sat in the chair thinking about what she could’ve done. Before she knew it, she finished the whole bottle of a Jamison and stumbled to her bed.
