Still Valerie’s POV
I thought he would be concerned about my outfit, I was a bit surprised when he didn’t flinch, he just turned around and walked towards the door, leaving me behind him. I smiled to myself as I watched him leave, he has no fucking idea what I’m going to do tonight. I pulled my hair u in a messy bun, and I put on my black stilettos, then I followed after him to his Porsche that is packed in the packing lot.
He seems lost in thought, and he looks kind of pissed. I have no idea what could have happened between the time I left him to go dress up and now. Whatever it is, it seems to be making him restless, and I think it’s pretty serious. He is trying to hide his feelings, but I saw through his disguise, and even if it’s not supposed to be my business, I still care about him. I wish I know what is bothering him, I wish I can help.
I spotted Cameron standing outside the club, waiting for him. She is dressed in a red body-hugging, silicon dress that gives her a sultry look. Her gown stops below her ass, and it puts all her curves out there, leaving nothing to the imagination. She is wearing a bright red pump that goes perfectly with her outfit, her hair is curled neatly, hanging below her shoulder. She looks hot, and slutty, with her full makeup and a bright red lips that is the highlight of her face. The bitch is just so clingy and desperate, I mean, what stops her from waiting inside?
Maverick has a private booth, she could have sat there patiently and waited for him. But no, she chose to stand out here like a fucking bimbo. She locked arms with him as they both walked in together while the crowd cheered for them. She loves the attention she gets whenever he is around. That is why she keeps perching around him all the fucking time.
“The guys are in the booth waiting for us, would you like me to get some girls in there?” she inquired.
“That’s not your job, Cam. Let the manager handle those details. You just sit and have fun.” He responded firmly. He wasn’t even staring at her as he spoke, she is trying so hard to get him to compliment her outfit and her beauty, but he couldn’t care less about all that. I was wondering what she meant when she said that the guys were in the booth already. I’m not aware that we are expecting more guys, or did I miss something?
I stopped wondering when I spotted Shane sitting with Liam, listing like buddies. The nerve of this bitch, Cameron. She dared to come here with her brother, she just spat on Maverick’s face, and the douchbag has no idea that she is making fun of him. I guess this is the favor she asked of him earlier. I could remember asking him about it, but he refused to tell me what she asked of him, he warned me to mind my fucking business and that is exactly what I’m doing. I ignored them all and I walked towards Liam as he opened his arms to receive me warmly. He pecked my cheeks, wrapping his arms around my hips as he pulled me to the couch.
“For a moment there, I thought you were going to cancel our date. I’m glad you could make it, I’m glad you are here” He let out in a whisper, placing another peck on my cheek, making me giggle softly as his warm breath fanned my ears, tickling me.
“I told you, Liam, my boss is a man of his word, so there is no way I would cancel this date, not when he has given you his word that we are going to be here tonight. Besides, I’m happy to be here as well. It’s been a long since I had fun in the club. I’ve been super busy with work these days. I’m glad you invited me, Liam, I want to say thank you for all you did for me back home, I’m not sure I would have survived without you. Thank you, Liam.” I let out with a smile, and he responded with a smile of his own, staring into my eyes.
“Let us not talk about the past or anything concerning the home. Let us put the past behind us and focus on the present. I missed you, Valerie, and now that I’ve found you, I’m going to make you mine, no matter what it takes.” He asserted firmly, leaning to place a kiss on my lips. We were so close to locking our lips when I heard a burst of laughter coming from someone seated beside me. I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me who it is, I can recognize that stupid voice anywhere. It’s that bastard Shane, he sounds so annoying, and I could feel my rage rising by the minute. I know he is trying to provoke me on purpose, and I really wanted to ignore him. But I just can’t ignore the bastard when he is seating right next to me, laughing like a lunatic.
“What’s so funny Shane, why don’t you share your very hilarious joke so everyone can share your humor,” I let out in annoyance, turning to glare at him furiously.
“Oh, come on, Val, don’t tell me you are going to sit there and pretend as if you don’t know why I find this hilarious or did you not tell him that other guys have tried keeping you as a fiancee?” he retorted in the same icy cold tone I’d used on him earlier.
“Don’t waste your time on her man, she is a fucking stripper, a whore. And even if she decides to stick with one man, l I’m pretty sure that she would have chosen me because…”
“You fucking asshole!” I let out in disgust, glaring at him. I think he is trying to destroy my relationship with Liam, I don’t know what he is up to this time, but I’m pretty sure that his sister is not with him on this because she is glaring daggers at him as well. And I could see her giving him eye signals, trying to get him to quit being foolish so he doesn’t upset Liam. But he just wouldn’t stop, and now Liam is beginning to get suspicious and curious.
“What are you talking about?” he asked curiously as he stared at us, waiting for an explanation.
“What I’m saying is that this beautiful damsel is mine and nobody else. I met her right here in this club, and she used to…”
“I believe what this idiot is trying to say is that I used to be a stripper in this club.” I cut him short before he could say it. I figured it’s better if he hears it from me, and not this fucking douchbag. He was a bit stunned by my confession, he sank deeper into the couch, resting his back on the backrest as he gazed at me for a few minutes, letting the words sink in.
“I gave you some money, Val. And I asked you to call me when you settle in. I can’t believe you choose to be a stripper instead of seeking me out. If only you had reached out to me and kept in touch as I asked you to, I would have taken care of your needs, you would never have worked for anyone, not even for Mr. Huntington.” He asserted firmly. For the first time since we got here, Maverick raised his head to stare in our direction, looking displeased by his words. He has been focused on his phone for a while now, he isn’t even speaking with Cameron or anyone else.
He just sipped on his glass of Hennessey while tapping endlessly on his phone. I thought the was going to flip on him, I thought he would scold and warn him not to speak about him that way, but he didn’t. He just gazed up at him, giving him a stern look before getting back to pressing his phone.
“I never wanted your help Liam, and you fucking knew it. I did what I could to survive, and trust me, I loved my job. Besides, I couldn’t trust you with my location, I couldn’t risk getting caught by my family, and…”
Holy Fuck!
I’ve said too much, and now everyone in this room knows that I ran away from my family back home. I’m sure Cameron would never let me hear the end of this, I just hope she doesn’t do anything stupid by trying to contact my family and giving them my location. That would certainly be the end of me.
“I did what I had to do, Liam. I don’t regret anything I did in the past, so can we move past this and enjoy our night, or are you calling it quit already?” I teased, making him giggle as he pulled me into his arms and captured my lips in a warm, passionate kiss that left me gasping for breath when he broke it up. Damn, I forgot how good it felt to kiss him, and now that I think about it, I think I missed him all these years, or should I say I missed his lips and not him.
“I’m not going anywhere, love. I’m never letting you out of my sight again.” He promised. I smiled as he pulled me back into his arms, and I looked up to see if Maverick was seeing all this, but he wasn’t paying attention to anything happening in this room. I thought he was only pretending not to be interested, but I noticed the deep frown lines on his forehead and he kept twitching his jaw and grinding his teeth in anger. It’s easy to see that he is furious. I just don’t know when the fuck he’s been chatting with me and why he is so angry.
Liam and I were having so much fun, but the fun cannot be complete until Maverick sees me having so much fun and gets jealous. His slutty girlfriend and her brother just 1stepped out of our private booth to the dance floor. I’m sure she is looking to get screwed by him since Maverick is too busy to attend to her needs. The door used open and Janelle stepped in with two other strippers. I’m guessing the manager sent them in here to come to entertain us. I’m glad he did because I’ve missed them so much. I watched them do their jobs, dancing and teasing us while flirting with the Alpha to get him to acknowledge them.
I almost laughed out loud when Cameron and Shane walked back in and saw him making out with two strippers. She felt hurt when she saw him getting sucked by a stripper, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She hid her pain and anger, trying to act tough in front of everyone.
“That would all, now get your mouth off my man’s dick.” she let out sternly, trying to sound cool, but failing miserably as her voice had an icy edge to it that made her sound desperate.
“Leave her alone!” Maverick warned her fiercely, ignoring the hurt look on her face. The room was dark, but I could feel his eyes on me and I wondered if he is hurting her on purpose because of what I said to him about our bond. Does he feel bad for hurting me because of her, is he trying to pay her back, is he trying to please me?
If that is the case then he is going about it the wrong way because there is absolutely no way I would be pleased with him screwing any woman he desires. I know he is trying to make me believe that these women are just sex to us to him, nothing more. But it still hurts to watch him get pleasured by other women while he pleasures them in return. I’m right here for fuck’s sake, I have feelings as well, and I get hurt by his damn actions. I could see him holding her down as she sucked him off, bobbing her head up and down his dick. How I wish I could replace her right now.
“Why don’t know go up there and show me what you got,” Liam whispered in my ears, urging me to go up the little stage and show him my moves.
“With pleasure,” I responded teasingly as I stood up and took off my coat, leaving me in my see-through outfit and lingerie. This night has been so fucked up from the very beginning I’m hoping to lighten my mood and his, I was not expecting this night to get any worse than it already is, but it did…
