  Description

  A baby was never in the cards.

  Rachael

  Men have no place in my life. Too busy with school and work to deal with those predators.

  But Ace swaggers in with that arrogant and cocky attitude. I'm like putty in his hands but terrified of the storm riding behind him.

  But his lips against mine...his rough hands all over me...

  Will a baby make him stay?

  Ace

  I go through women more often than you change your socks.

  The moment I saw Rachael, I knew she'd be mine—and I'd forget her forever. Her long legs and curves would make any man bow before her. But I'm not just any man.

  When I'm around, all hell breaks loose. I can't afford to put Rachael in harm's way. Especially since she's carrying my baby.

  I can't get her out of my skull and I'd do anything to keep her.

  Chapter One

  Rachael

  Shit! I arrived at the Nautilus Club fifteen minutes late again. My boss was going to kill me. The seedy building stood in an abandoned complex right next to the jammed-packed freeway. A gigantic neon sign repeated girls three times and a long pink awning jutted out from the front door.

  I stumbled out of my car, carrying my purse and bag of school books. In between dances, I could get a little homework done if nobody bothered me. Jerome stood at the front door looking menacingly as always. He was an over-sized black man with the softest heart and a hug that could crush every bone in your body. He grinned and let me right in.

  The club lights were dimmed and Cherry danced on stage to Britney Spears' “Womanizer.” A bar sat along the far right wall and Johnny was there tending to the drunks. A shot of whiskey sounded good right about now. I took a hard right through velvet curtains that stated: Employees Only.

  Joe, the owner, came barreling towards me. His hair had receded to the very back of his head and he wore the cheapest suit available. He wasn't as soft as Jerome but he took care of his girls. “Rachael! You gotta be fucking kidding me. How could you be late again after we just had that talk?”

  Damn! I thought he might not have noticed this time.

  “I'm so sorry, Joe, but I got caught in traffic.”

  Joe checked his watch. “There's no fucking traffic at nine o'clock.”

  “There was an accident. I promise it won't happen again.” I gave him my best puppy dog eyes. Joe was a sucker for a pretty girl.

  He narrowed his eyes at me. “Cherry offered to switch with you. You're on in twenty minutes.”

  I really owed Cherry a big one. This was the fifth time she had covered for me. Maybe I could buy her some makeup as a thank you.

  Joe continued, “I also need you to cover Jasmine's shift on Saturday night.”

  Double Shit! This Saturday I promised my mom I'd come visit her. But I couldn't negotiate with Joe without him firing me on the spot. I was already playing with fire.

  “You got it, Joe. Whatever you need.”

  Joe clasped his hands and bowed before me. He really wasn't all that bad. I just needed to be on time more often.

  I walked into the makeup room and sat at my station. Exposed light bulbs surrounded the mirror and pictures of my family were taped to the edges. I wanted my area to feel a little more homey—a little more personal. I went to the open rack behind me that held the few outfits I owned. The dancers at Nautilus were required to pay for their own costumes which meant I couldn't afford too many.

  I pulled out a blue bikini that was bedazzled with a hundred sequins. It looked really cheap but you couldn't tell in the dark club. I quickly changed and stuffed my big breasts into the bikini top. I sat down at my station and opened the drawer full of makeup. I brushed my brown hair and darkened my eyes with black liner and eyeshadow. I added the biggest fake lashes and overdid the lipstick.

  Helena strutted into the room wearing a long dress and platform shoes. She was very thin and tall with small perky breasts. She could've been a model if she wanted to. Most of the dancers were so jealous of her body.

  “Joe seems angrier than usual. Late again, Rachael?” Helena sat down at the station next to mine. She had been dancing at the Nautilus for over ten years which was a lifetime to some of us. When I started, Helena helped me through the basics: getting my costume, learning the routines, and dealing with customers who get a little too touchy.

  I capped my lipstick and pursed my lips in the mirror. “Only by fifteen minutes. I could be one minute late and he'd still go ballistic.”

  Helena laughed. “Joe is Joe.” She put her hand on my shoulder. “We just got in a big group of guys.”

  “I hope they have deep pockets.” I winked.

  Cherry came back from the stage all sweaty. Crumpled-up dollar bills were pinned along her waist with a g-string.

  I got down on my knees and groveled at her feet. “Thank you so much, Cherry. I owe you a million times over.” I kissed her platform shoes for added effect.

  Cherry's fake red hair burned brightly. “You better believe you owe me. I barely got any tips out there and a group of bikers just came in right after I finished.”

  “How about I split my tips with you tonight. Will that make up for it?”

  Cherry smirked. “Yeah that might work.”

  My phone buzzed on the counter. I checked my message and it was from my roommate, Jenny.

  Jenny: You better text me when you're on your way home.

  Rachael: Don't worry I will :)

  Jenny didn't have a job so she made it her life's work to make sure I was always safe. She was so worried that one of the customers would try to kidnap me. Jerome was always around and would never let that happen.

  Joe popped his head in. “You're on in five, Rachael.”

  “Knock em' dead, Sapphire.” Cherry kissed me on the cheek.

  Sapphire was a name I quickly came up with right before my first dance. I needed a stripper name that radiated class and style. Diamond was already taken so Sapphire became mine. Most girls went by their real names backstage and some lucky girls like Cherry were already born with a fake stripper name.

  I took a deep breath and went to the back of the stage. I peeked through the curtains and spotted a group of tough guys surrounding the stage. They were covered in tattoos with their biceps bursting through their tight white shirts. Tonight might actually be good.

  The announcer's voice boomed through the air. “Ladies and gentlemen, the Nautilus Club proudly presents: the mysterious, the insatiable, the lovely—Sapphire!”

  “Pour it up” by Rihanna—my song—blasted through the speakers.

  I burst out of the curtains with fire in my eyes. The overhead spotlights focused on my body as I made my way down the raised walkway, stomping my heels down. The boys cheered my name while throwing one-dollar bills onto the stage. I ran my hands up my stomach and felt up my tits, flaunting them to the crowd.

  “Take it off,” one of the guys screamed.

  I pouted my lips and shook my finger to the crowd. I faced away from the audience and slowly undid the string around my back. My bikini top hung loosely against my chest and I held it in place with my hands. The men hollered at me. I turned around and danced, not letting them see it all yet. Dancing was the art of seduction.

  I dropped the bikini top and let my large breasts free. The boys cheered and whistled at my tits, their fists pumping in the air. I went up to the cold steel pole and pu
shed it against my cleavage, rubbing myself up and down. I bent over all the way and hugged my ankles, giving the best view of my thong and ass.

  My eyes caught one of the bikers and my heart skipped a beat. He wasn't like the others. He sat quietly and stared at me. This guy had long slicked-back hair that was shaved on the sides. Intricate tattoos covered both of his strong arms and broad shoulders. He wasn't cheering along with his buddies.

  The mysterious man's dark gaze focused in on me. I became flushed and lost my way for a moment. I climbed high up the pole, wrapping my legs around and locking myself in. I leaned back and swung around, slowly dropping all the way to the stage floor—my signature move. The crowd went wild. I flipped my blonde hair back and locked eyes with the bad boy. He sat in his chair with his stone-cold face, his eyes drinking me in.

  This is way too hot.

  Rihanna's words slowly faded away and the crowd hollered. I gathered my bikini top and all the tips off the stage.

  “One more round of applause for Sapphire,” the announcer yelled.

  I gave the audience a curtsy before disappearing into the back—but not without getting one last glance at him. He sat in his seat, blanketed in shadows, with one finger slowly tracing his lips. A desire formed in the pit of my stomach.

  “How much did you make?” Cherry asked, following me to my station.

  My head was all cloudy and my cheeks were bright red. Who was that man?

  “I said, how much did you make, Rachael?” Cherry repeated.

  “Oh sorry. Thanks again for covering for me.” I didn't even bother counting the tips. I handed her the majority of the crumpled up cash in my hands.

  Cherry fanned out all the bills and her jaw dropped. “You made all this from one dance?”

  I shrugged. “I guess they liked me.”

  I sat down at my station, my hands shaking. I didn't have another dance for a couple hours and desperately needed a drink. Alcohol would calm me down. Why was so much adrenaline coursing through me?

  Joe came in with a big grin on his face. That was nice change from the Joe I had to deal with earlier. “Great job, Rachael. You got a guy out there requesting a lap dance.”

  I nodded and touched up my makeup. I took a deep breath and my hands stopped shaking. Could it be him?

  Chapter Two

  Ace

  The boys and I rode or bikes down the black streets, our headlights the only light in the overcast night. The entrance of the Nautilus appeared over the horizon with it's bright pink neon lights. It wasn't the best strip club in town—the drinks were overpriced and the dancers weren't too attractive—but they had happy hour on Thursday nights. We had just made a lot of money from selling a huge load of weapons and it was time to celebrate and let loose.

  “You ready to party, Ace?” Maverick, our veep, grinned and slapped his big belly.

  I ran my fingers through my hair. “First round is on me.”

  “I hope you're talking about lap dances because I'm definitely getting a couple tonight.”

  “It's going to take a lot more than money to get a chick to dance on that nasty lap of yours.”

  Maverick boomed out a jovial laugh and hit me on the back. The large bouncer let us in and we entered through a dark hallway that opened up to a huge room with chairs surrounding the stage. Private booths lined the left wall and a bar sat on the right with some passed out drunks.

  The motorcycle club took their seats as a fire-red stripper with the biggest rack finished her dance. Hammer, the president of the club, went off to the bar to order us drinks. He was an older guy who has been with the club since its founding. Light gray hairs speckled his hair and beard but he was still built like an ox. I'd follow that man into the depths of hell.

  The lights dimmed even further and the next dancer was announced. A bright spotlight hit the stage and a goddess flew through the curtains. Her long blonde hair cascaded off her shoulders and her blue eyes pierced me. The blood in my veins froze and butterflies fluttered in my stomach. My pants tightened as my cock came to full attention.

  Who the fuck was this chick?

  Hammer joined us and handed me a pint of beer, foam dripping down the sides of the glass. I nodded and took a sip. The cold brew slid down my throat and warmed me instantly. I drank more as I sat mesmerized, watching this girl parade down the stage.

  I cursed myself for not remembering her name. It was Ruby, Emerald—something close to that. The rest of the boys cheered at her and I sunk further into my seat, taking in all the sights. Her feet glided across the stage like a ballerina. She turned around and slowly untied her top. My heart hammered in my chest louder and louder. She faced us and revealed her mountains. A spike of desire hit my crotch.

  Those are the most perfect pair of tits I have ever seen.

  My raging hard-on tried to break through my jeans. Before I knew it, the dance was over and my next conquest left the stage.

  I had to have her. One smirk from me and she'd be putty in my hands. I never met a woman who could resist me.

  I asked the nearest employee that I wanted a private lap dance from the girl that was just on stage. My balls were hot coals in my pants and they needed to be emptied.

  “Gotta have her, don't ya Ace?” Maverick chuckled.

  I ignored him and followed the employee over to one of the private booths. He told me she'd be out in a minute and shut the curtains. I sat in the comfy seat and my palms were sweating profusely. Why was I so nervous? This was just like any other lap dance, and I'd had thousands of them.

  The wait felt like an eternity, but only five minutes had passed. The curtains whipped opened and in walked the chick from before. She was dressed in a black bra and panties that hugged her curves tightly. Drool escaped the corner of my lips.

  She stiffened and stopped in her tracks when she caught sight of me. Her eyes widened and went back to normal as she closed the curtain behind her.

  “I hoped it was you,” she whispered.

  What did she mean by that? “How much for a lap dance?” I asked, pulling out my black leather wallet.

  “For you, it's on the house.” She smiled and every part of me burned with hunger.

  No chick had made me feel like this before. What was happening to me?

  I grabbed her hand and led her over to me. A spark jumped through her and zapped me. It must have been a static shock. She swung her long silky leg over and straddled me. Her big chest was only inches away from my face. My tongue must had rolled out of my mouth like one of those cartoons as I stared at her massive cleavage.

  “What was your name again? I forgot.”

  “It's Sapphire,” she replied in a soft and sensual voice. I could listen to that voice all day.

  “No what's your real name?”

  Her hips gyrated as she grinded against me. “It's Rachael.”

  My erection grew even bigger. “My name's Ace,” I choked out.

  She knew exactly what she was doing to me. “It's nice to meet you.” She smiled. I'd wage wars for that smile.

  Rachael stood up and faced away from me. She ran her hands down her sides, her nice ass swaying side to side to the beats of the music. She planted her butt right on my crotch, rubbing hard against me, holding herself up with her hands on my knees. I was getting so close.

  Rachael unlatched her bra and dropped it to the floor. Still facing away from me, she leaned back against me. Rachael's soft hair was pressed against my face and I took in a deep breath of her divine scent.

  She put my hands in hers and traced them up along her soft skin. “You're so smooth,” I murmured in her ear.

  Rachael placed my hands on her chest and I squeezed her mountain peaks tightly—one-hundred percent real. How could a chick be this hot? The throbbing desire in my pants was ready to explode. I pinched her nipples and Rachael moaned softly.

  Fuck! I was too close! I couldn't blow my load in my pants. Not yet...I had to have her first.

  I lifted her ass off of me and set Rach
ael down. “Let's go back to my place,” I whispered.

  Rachael stared into my eyes and smiled. “I'm sorry but I don't go home with customers and I definitely don't sleep with them.”

  No girl had ever refused me before. The blood was pounding in my pants, reminding me of my desperate need. What was so different about her? She didn't seem like a normal stripper.

  I was tempted to ask her to finish the lap dance so she could take me to to end. The pain in my balls was growing. I needed to unload fast. I grabbed a couple hundreds out of my pocket and smushed them in her hand before leaving through the curtains.
