Chapter:6

**Taylor's POV**

The alcohol starts swimming in my head as I flush the toilet.

Checking my make-up in the mirror has me giggling at the little hairs standing up.

After putting my hair in place, I make a b-line back to the VIP area.

I sit back down and sip on another glass of champagne. "Not really a people person are you." A feminine voice speaks next to me and I turn to face the person.

The voice belongs to the woman who was glaring at me at Keath's party. She is sitting with a glass of red wine in one hand and what seems, and smells like a blunt. She takes a hit from the blunt and turns to me smiling.

"Uh no. Not really." I respond and she nods. "I wasn't either until my dear husband dragged me into this world." She says, her voice full of resentment.

*Husband?!*

"Hey, I know you saw me talking to Keath the other night. I just want you to know that I wasn't trying anything and I didn't know that he was married." I say trying to keep drama out of it.

"Oh honey. I know. He's a whore." She says so casually. I choke a bit and she laughs. "Are you okay?" She asks with a small smile and I nod.

"I'm just surprised. What are you still doing with him if you know that he's a uhm...whore?" I ask quietly, my cheeks heating up as I ask this and she smiles. "'Cause I'm a whore too. I sold myself to him" She says and I am shocked at how openly she talks about this with someone she doesn't know anything about.

"He supports my family financially. My dad is sick so he can't work and my mom has a record so she can't find a proper job. I have two younger siblings that are still in school. I'm doing this for them." She says and I see her eyes well up before she blocks the tears and takes a puff of her blunt.

"The sex is amazing though." She says with a small fake smile.

"I'm sorry. You don't deserve to be with a man who doesn't treat you right. And you certainly are not a whore." I am a little sad on her behalf for subjecting herself to this kind of treatment.

I think I've had one too many glasses of champagne.

"Thank you. I'm Natalie by the way."

"Taylor. I work for Dimitri." I say and blush a little as I look over to him to find him already looking at me.

I look back to Natalie as quickly as possible. There is a knowing grin plastered on her face and I shrug. "What?" I ask and she smirks. "You two are totally fucking." She says and I choke on my drink mid-swallow.

"What!? No. No, no, no. We are not. Nor will we ever." I say quickly and she laughs. "Well if you aren't then you totally want to." She says and I blush.

"Want a hit." She asks after a while of just talking and getting to know each other. I shrug my shoulders and take what appears to be her second joint before taking a drag from it.

I blow it out like a pro and she claps. "You seem to know what you are doing." She says and I smile.

"Used to smoke when I was in high school. Stopped when my mom caught me." I tell her and she nods. "My mom smoked with me." She says and turns to look at me before we both bust out laughing.

"At least you have a cool mom. Mine's a total asshole. *'Get good grades or I'm shipping you off to your grandparents' farm, Taylor.' 'Don't bring a little bastard child into my house with all your whoring, Taylor.' 'You're the reason your dad left us, Taylor.'* No Mom, your drinking his life savings is the reason he left us." I say and Natalie laughs.

"That's fucked man. I'd like to meet her." She says and I laugh. "Consider it a date." I say and sip on my martini. I switched drinks when I got bored of the champagne.

"Hey ladies." Keath says looking between the two of us. "Hello husband!" Natalie says looking at me and I smile. "Yes. Hello Natalie's husband. How are you." I say and we both giggle.

I'm high out of my mind from the secondhand smoke and the few drags I took. Not to mention the alcohol swimming around in my head. *This feels amazing.*

"You two are high as hell." He says laughing as he kisses Natalie fiercely. They pull away and Natalie gets up taking his hand. "I'll be right back, babe." She says before they disappear up to a backroom.

"You look lonely." I hear and look up to see Dimitri smiling at me. "Hey. No. Natalie just left." I say taking a drag from the blunt. It is ripped out of my mouth.

"Heyyy. I was smoking that." I whine and he looks at me sternly. "It's not good for you." He says putting it in between his lips and taking a long drag.

*This man is sex on legs.*

I giggle and move closer to him. A boost of confidence shoots through me like pressurized water. "Well is it good if I get it from you?" I ask and he smirks. "I don't know. Why don't we find out." He says and I smile.

This is all the liquor talking and making me act so reckless but I couldn't care less right now.

He takes a drag and moves closer to me. I carefully put my lips near his as he blows the smoke into my mouth-our lips never touching. I pull away and blow it out. The smirk on his face was more than enough to tell me that he was into it.

"Hey. Are you still good?" I hear and turn my head to the person in front of me. "Uh yeah. I'm good. Are you?" I ask as I see Kelsey stand in front of me.

"Yeah. We're going to Chris' house for a small party since the club is about to close." She tells me and I nod. "Could I talk to you for a second?" She asks and I smile before standing up.

I giggle as I stumble a little bit. "Oops." I say and Kelsey smiles. "Are you enjoying yourself? I saw you two." She says smirking and I blush. "I'm enjoying myself very much." I whisper to her and she squeals.

"Okay. Just tell me when you want to go home. I'll tell Chris to drop us off." She says and I nod giving her a thumbs up.

A frown soon covers my face and she furrows her brows. "What's wrong?" She asks and I sigh like a little kid.

"I didn't find somebody to 'go home' with. I've been sitting on that couch all night." I say and she smirks. "Honey. I think you've found somebody to go home with." She says with a small smirk.

"But he's my boss." A small frown sets on my lips at the realization. "At least you two would have a theme for the role-play tonight." She says and I feel my cheeks and other areas heating up at the thought.

"He is walking over right now." She says before winking and going to Chris.

"You ready to go?" He asks and I shrug. "Where are we going?" I ask and he chuckles.

"Back to my place."
