Bryce's POV
I sit still glaring at Tyler who is with a smirk on his face. I don't know why I feel uncomfortable here, whether it's because of how rowdy and crowded the place is. This place looks inexpensive and I am sure it isn't meant for people like me.
Tyler is excited about this place and I still don't know why. I feel he is doing this to annoy me. I look away and take the glass cup in front of me before gulping it down. The drink burned down my throat and I turn around to face the strippers.
All of a sudden, a masked red-haired appears, creating an uproar. I glance around and notice almost everyone is excited about her presence.
Who is she and why is she masked? I asked myself.
She is dressed differently from the rest of the half-naked girls. She has a sexy white lace material dress stuck to her body and I find myself wanting to see her face. She looks in my direction and I feel her piercing gaze. The glass cup I wanted to drop before she came in, is still in my hand. I am staring at her with awe and curiosity.
Her hair is long and beautiful, her legs are sexy and long, her skin is smooth and shiny and her eyes are piercing and brown. I watch her every move with fascination. She holds onto the pole and pushes her butts out, I imagine her licking her lips or doing an erotic action.
She leans forward slowly before holding the pole firmly and twisting her body in a sexy manner. I feel like seeing the look on her face, I want to see if she has a smile like the rest of the girls or she isn't smiling.
I also want to know why she is different, dressed differently, looks different and the reaction in the room caused by her presence is different.
Who is she? Is she the queen of this place?
"That is the high-priced p********e here", Tyler whispers into my ear, jerking me out of my reverie and answering the questions I have been asking within me about who she is and what makes her unique.
"What? High-priced?" I turn to face him. He nods.
"I wanted to have her the last time I was here but I wasn't quick enough to say my price, someone else got her before I did."
I turn back to continue watching. High priced? Why is she high priced? Is she too beautiful or what? I ask within me, again, finding myself wanting to desperately see her face.
I have forgotten about my initial resolve to leave this place if Tyler doesn't want to leave early because of my lack of disinterest in the whole thing happening here. I have forgotten about my reason for coming here in the first place. I am just staring at her like I would stare at the beautiful stars at night, just the way I used to do with my mother at the rooftop of our home when I was younger. I haven't seen her yet but I know she will be the most beautiful of all and that increases my need to see her face.
"You should have her", Tyler gives me an encouraging look. "She is a beautiful woman, I will let you have her tonight since I have someone already." He beams.
He looks away and I follow his gaze. He is looking at the girl on the next pole close to the masked red-haired girl. She is beautiful too and is in a black thong and bra. She has a slight smile on her face and I realize she is staring at Tyler all along.
I shift my gaze to the woman who has captured my attention. The music has changed into a soft one, making the girls go wild with emotions as they touch themselves. The red-haired takes off her lace sleeves and I feel like shouting orders to her to remove her mask too so I can finally satisfy my curiosity.
She squats and turns her back to the pole. She stands up slowly, rubbing her hands over her body. The crowd cheers. I realize the essence of this all, this isn't a club but a whorehouse.
Tyler nudges me and I stare at him with a harsh scowl for distracting me from watching the gorgeous beauty in front of me.
"Go talk to him, tell him you want her before someone else does", he tilt his head towards a guy dressed as a cowboy, watching the red-haired with eyes full of admiration. I realize I am not the only one attracted to her, she has succeeded in grabbing the attention of half of the men in the room but it seems to me like I am the only one who doesn't know what she looks like.
"Why is she masked?" I ask Tyler softly.
He shrugs. "She is known to be an enigma, she does whatever she wants in here because of the privileges of being high priced. I have never seen her masked until now."
I almost cursed out loud. Why does it have to be today that I came here that she is masked? I was already telling myself not to ever come to a place like this with Tyler again after today but seeing the side attraction, I know I want to know her better and I want to see her face.
I stand up abruptly and approach the cowboy guy. He has brown sandy hair and a broad shoulder. He looks handsome and I wonder what he is doing here. From the look of things, he works here.
"Hi", I smile.
He turns to face me. "Hello." He returns the smile.
"I want her", I point to the masked girl on the stage.
He peers at me. "Are you a newcomer?"
"Yes, it's my first time."
He nods in understanding. "I see. We have protocols here and it needs to be followed."
"What protocol?" I demand. Tyler didn't tell me any protocol, he just asked me to come and tell him I want her. I can't wait to have her and take the mask off her face, I can feel my hard-on already. I guess this is why I find this protocol rubbish he is talking about like s**t. I don't want to be disappointed for the second time tonight.
"The highest bidder gets her", he smirks. "Are you ready?"
This isn't a problem. I will pay anything to have her. I nod.
The music stops almost immediately and the girls assemble in a row, as the audience cheers them up with a standing ovation.
The cowboy guy beckons to the red-haired as another man goes up the stage. He holds the first dancer's hand up in the air and asks. "Who wants her?"
Only one man raises his hand and he pushes her to him. The man grins widely but the expression on her face is unreadable.
I turn away from them. The red-haired girl walks majestically towards us, taking slow careful steps. When she is close enough, she bows to the guy.
"I see my girl has succeeded in winning the heart of a man who is here for the first time", he grins broadly and places his arm around her shoulder, making her face me. I watch her eyes but she looks away.
"Jackson...." She says. Her voice is so sweet and low. I now know the cowboy guy's name is Jackson.
"He said he wants you", he tells her. "I feel there is no need to follow the usual protocol to avoid these men fighting each other tonight, just to have you. Besides, this man looks rich. Do you want him?" He says more like a whisper while I watch them.
She shakes her head in rejection and I furrow my brows.
"What?" Jackson is as surprised as I am.
Aren't I handsome enough? Is there any other man in here who is better than me?
"He is rich, why not?" His voice is a bit raised now.
"I don't want him. Find someone else!", she yells in his face before walking away in anger.
