Chapter 16
We took our shots. We drank. We danced.
~MELL
At some point, Gavin kissed me–full–mouth, confident, like he’d been waiting for the moment. I kissed him back, and every drink I’d had made my body feel looser and my brain
less cautious.
The more I drank, the quieter my inhibitions got.
“You know what?” I yelled over the music, adrenaline making me bold. “I want to join.
Tonight.”
My friends whooped like I’d announced I was moving to Paris.
They brought me to a man in a tailored gray suit and sharp white shirt. He held a tablet and
wore the kind of neutral expression that said he’d processed every kind of human decision.
Maisie leaned in. “Our friend wants to become a member.”
He nodded, tapped the screen, and angled it toward me.
“Fill out your information. Then swipe your card here,” he said, pointing along the edge.
I typed everything in. Gavin passed me my credit card when I needed it, and none of them
acted weird about handling each other’s IDs and wallets. Like this was routine.
I chose the yearly membership and swiped.
The man verified it, then pulled a card from his pocket and ran it across the tablet. He
handed me a new card.
Matte black. Heavy. In the center, MEMBER stamped in gold. In the corner, a four–digit
number in silver.
I looked closer.
It was the last four of my credit card.
“This is your membership card,” he said. “Gold lettering means annual. Don’t lose it. It contains your information and payment method. From now on, you use this to pay for

anything in any club.”
I nodded, then handed it straight to Gavin like it was a live wire.

We danced again–time slipping, music blurring–until Gavin gathered us and steered us
toward the back wall.
A stunning woman stood there like a gatekeeper in a movie: black evening gown, hair slicked tight, long satin gloves up to her elbows. Her makeup was dark and theatrical, eyes sharpened like blades.
Gavin flashed all four of our cards.
She pulled aside what I’d thought was just part of the wall–a curtain I hadn’t noticed–and revealed another door. Gavin scanned a card. The lock clicked. The door opened.
We walked into a long corridor. Maisie and Summer giggled like we were on our way to a
secret afterparty.
My nerves spiked instead.
Where are we going?
At the end of the hall, an elevator waited with its doors already open. Inside were only two
buttons: an up arrow and a down arrow.
Gavin pressed down.
Then, without warning, he pinned me gently against the elevator wall and crashed his
mouth onto mine.
I moaned into the kiss before I could stop myself. He was so good at it–steady hands,
confident tongue, like he knew exactly how to make my knees forget they were supposed
to work.
The elevator dinged.
He gave me a final quick kiss, and we stumbled out.
My jaw literally dropped.

The lower level wasn’t a club. It was a zoo. A playground. A fever dream.

Sex was everywhere–on benches, against walls, on furniture that looked built for bodies. Nude skin moved under dim lights. People moaned openly. No one looked embarrassed.
Cages lined parts of the space. Men and women inside them like exhibits.
One man inside a cage was getting sucked off by another man standing outside the bars. Nearby, a woman in a gold cage was bent over with her palms on the floor while a man drove into her from behind.
It was unreal.
I didn’t want to stare.
I stared anyway.
Gavin led us to a door and paid for a room with his card. I noticed his didn’t have gold
lettering.
We went inside.
There was a bed along one wall and a low lounge couch in the center. One entire wall was glass–transparent enough that I could see the space outside clearly.
And if I could see them… they could see us.
I turned, trying to orient myself, and noticed small eyeholes in the other walls–little dark circles like something watching through a mask.
I stepped closer to one and peered in.
At first, nothing.
Then the cover shifted on the other side.
Blue eyes.
I sucked in a breath so sharply it hurt. Whoever it was didn’t blink. Those eyes looked
entertained.
I spun to tell my friends–and inhaled again, shocked all over.

Gavin was on the bed with them, hands everywhere, mouths everywhere. Summer and
Maisie tangled together like they’d forgotten I existed.
Holy hell.
Did they expect me to join in? I couldn’t tell. Part of me hesitated–unsure, overwhelmed,
still trying to catch up.
But my body was reacting faster than my thoughts.
Watching them made heat flood through me.
I crossed to the couch. In front of it, a small table held neatly packaged lube and a spread
of toys like a display.
My hands moved before my brain could negotiate.
I picked up a C–shaped toy, tore the packaging, and found the button. When it started vibrating, my whole spine lit up.
Fuck.
Gavin was thrusting into Maisie while Maisie had Summer beneath her, mouth working like
she’d been starving.
pulled the top of my dress down until one breast spilled free. I ran the toy over my nipple.
The sensation snapped a sound out of me–half gasp, half moan.
Gavin looked over.
His smile was slow, hungry. His gaze tracked down my body like he was undressing me
again with his eyes.
Being watched hit me like a drug.
He started fucking Maisie harder.
I stood, shoved my dress the rest of the way off, and sat back down, naked except for my thong. I dragged the vibrating toy down my stomach, letting him see every inch of my

When it reached my soaked panties, I pressed it over the fabric and jerked at the sudden
pressure.
I couldn’t breathe.
I hooked my fingers into the thong, pulled it aside, and slid the toy into me, aligning the
other end against my clit.
My hips started moving–fast, needy–while Gavin stared like he couldn’t decide whether to come watch or keep what he had.
He mouthed one word at me.
Fuck.
Then he threw his head back and shouted as he came.
Seeing him lose control was the last thing I needed.
My orgasm tore through me, loud and unstoppable, and at the same moment Summer and Maisie climaxed too–sounds overlapping, bodies shaking, the room full of breath and heat.
After, I just sat there, stunned.
I had really done that.
We were grinning at each other like we’d shared a secret.
For two hours, we ate and drank, and I kept touching myself while I watched them go at it
again and again.
And I never forgot those blue eyes behind the wall.
I made sure they got a show.
I hope whoever was on the other side enjoyed it as much as I did.
