SIXTEEN
DAMON
“Wh-” I swallowed hard as that moment became embarrassing for me. “What are you doing?”
“Damon Jones,” she called me with subtle anger in her voice. I closed my eyes for a second as she gently squeezed the part of me that was in her grasp. I have no idea why I was feeling the way I feel whenever I watch explicit contents to ease my sexual needs that came once in a while. I was not in a situation to be aroused. I should be scared of the look in Selena’s eyes which dared me. “Don’t question me.”
That was all she said. She dropped her hold on my clothed dick and took a step back.
As I gathered myself, she said, “In the suitcase I earlier gave Lucius, you will find the tiny cameras and microphones and two shotguns which are exclusively for Lucius’s use.”
Lucius threw a smug look at me. Of course, he probably relished the earlier scene.
Then, the man said, “We will be back, boss.”
Before I could say anything, he held my arm and dragged me out of the room and toward the secret place he came in from.

"Stop fidgeting, rookie." Lucius's mocking voice from behind stopped me from incessantly beating my lap which I had been doing since we arrived at the dockside. We were at the reception of the huge ship. We stood at a corner, looking for a way to blend with the crowd. "Such a pussy." I heard him mutter.
We soon got our opportunity. Lucius and I carefully walked to the upper floor, trying to locate the attendants' station while I adjusted the uniform Lucius made us wear for the sake of blending in.
"Are you guys the newbies?" A feminine voice soon halted us before we could make our way to the IT room which was a few steps away from the attendants' station. As we turned to face her, a blank look found its way to my face.
"Yes, we are,” Lucius replied and I sighed quietly while I prayed things wouldn’t get terrible for us. I have accepted my fate. So, all I can do is survive so that I can question Selena’s intention when I see her again.
Yes, I know she said not to question her. But, I have to. I can’t sell my soul to the devil and be blind and dumb about it. No, I won’t do that.
The blonde woman who had an average height tore her gaze off Lucius and flashed her teeth at me, her eyes admiring me. "Gosh, you are so handsome. We don’t have a lot of good-looking employees here. You may be a temporary staff, but let’s get along, alright?”
I smiled in response, moving my neck a bit to prevent the heavy breaths my wonderful companion was emitting.
The woman who wore a tag with the name Fae printed on it soon wore a serious look as she said, "Follow me. Room twenty-six ordered more bottles of wine and I need you to deliver them.” I followed her as she led the way. Room twenty-six is the room Basiton is lodged in. I guess things may go my way.
"Your friend is pretty huge. And he looks a bit . . . angry." She continued talking as we stepped into the huge room that was looking scanty save for the numerous stacks of wheeled trays that filled a corner of the space.
"Ah, yes. He just found out his girlfriend cheated on him. Poor guy." I looked at him, a pretend sad smile on my face. Lucius almost growled at me while the woman wore a look of pity.
"Poor guy," she said before she pushed another door open. She soon came out with two golden buckets which had bottles of wines tilted in them. Fae helped me place the buckets on one of the trays and, after securing them and placing a small white towel on my right arm for whatever reason, she urged me to hurry.
As we stepped out, I earned a side glance from Lucius who was now walking beside me.
Before she walked away, Fae patted Lucius on his hand and gave him an honest smile.
“Don’t. You. Dare,” Lucius interrupted whatever I had to say, so I just chuckled as we walked closer and closer to the designated room.
We were a few steps from the room when we noticed the rigorous arraign of tough-looking men who could be mistaken as Lucius’ brothers.
“You have to take it from here,” Lucius whispered from behind as he gave me a pat that startled me a little. “I will be waiting here. You have the liquid, right?”
I nodded as I tried to calm my racing mind.
“I know what I have to do,” I said.
“Find every means to do it. And yes, try to seduce him into releasing his guards. That will make things easier for me.”
As I sucked my lower lip in, I asked myself, ‘Is this what my life has come to? Have I become a person that can be whored out?’
As I sighed again, I felt Lucius kick my calves. That almost made me stumble but it pushed me into the corridor that was filled with scary-looking men. As I wheeled the cart past them, I noticed their fierce gaze scrutinize me. They did that till I got to the entrance.
The man at the entrance stopped me and did a quick search of the cart. The scanner in his hand was soon pointed at me and thankfully, the liquid drug was not detected.
Soon, I was granted passage.
But, I didn’t go in immediately. I had to catch my breath and gather myself because I knew that once I step into the room and carry out the mission, I will finally sell myself into the hands of the Dangerous Dame.
I pulled the handle anyway and walked into the room.
