  Chapter 1

  Charlotte

  It was my winter break.

  I headed home for Christmas.

  I had no money for the next semester but did not want to tell my dad because he didn't have any money to help.

  My dad picked me up from the airport.

  As we drove home, I looked out through the window, wondering whether to tell my dad, I had broken up with my boyfriend, Ethan.

  Dad really liked Ethan and had invited him for our usual pre-Christmas dinners. I thought it would be really awkward this year. So I thought of ways I could get out of being at the dinner table.

  Dad said as we got closer to our home, “Oh, you remember Mr. Knight, right?”

  I swallowed.

  How could I forget my dad's best friend? Yes, it had been ages since I last saw him, but I still had a massive crush on him. I got a little excited but decided not to show it. So I simply nodded. Then I said:

  "That's great to hear, is he back here for good? Hmm dad? I thought he was living it up in Palo alto, or is it, San Francisco?"

  Dad turned and looked at me, surprised by my comment.

  He said, "Wow, look like you have been keeping tabs on him or something? What do you know about him?"

  I shrugged and said, "Oh nothing, daddy, hmm, I just heard stories about him. That's all. Nothing important. I heard he bought a billion-dollar firm.

  "Oh yeah, well, I am glad you are keeping tabs on the financials, but just don't get stuck on that life."

  "Say, dad, maybe you could ask him if I could work for him or something? I heard his company pays well and we could use the money and...."

  Dad interjected.

  "Over my dead body, you understand the kind of business he runs? It's not all good, trust me, Charlotte. You don't want to get caught up."

  I nodded, not wanting to make my dad upset. It seems I can never catch a break with him.

  I am 19, yet he treats me like a five-year-old.

  I stay silent for the rest of the drive.

  But then it gets worse, the minute we got home and into the house, mom and dad started bickering! It's a wonder they have stayed together all this time.

  I sighed and thought so much for a great Christmas homecoming.

  I quietly slid into my bedroom and shut the door behind me. I hoped my parents wouldn't ask about Ethan, and I hoped he wouldn't show up for Christmas dinner.

  I laid on the bed dreaming about Hal and how much I wanted to be with him. I thought about what he looked like now? I hadn't seen him in ages, and I always had a massive crush on him even though I did my best to deny my feelings, I couldn't help it.

  I tossed and turned in bed, trying my best not to think such crazy naughty thoughts about dad's best friend. I mean what would that make me? I shouldn't feel this way about a man much older than me, and worse, dad would have a fit if he finds out I have a crush on his best friend.

  No Charlotte, you can't take the chance on your dad’s best friend, so forget it!

  That's the moment I got a call from my best friend, Susan. She asked if I wanted to go out. I asked her when she'd want to go out?

  She said, "Tonight, there's this hot club opening, and I would love for you to go with me. You know nothing happens in this small town, so this new club is the rave of the town at the moment. So what do you say? Hmm, are you game or what?" I tried to decline, but she wouldn't let me be. So finally, I said, "Alright, fine."

  "Oh, just one more thing. You have to dress classy. Tonight is a special night."

  Curious, I asked what she meant by a special night?

  She paused for a moment, then she said, "Oh, it's just one of those nights hmm I will tell you all about it when I pick you up. Just wear something nice, a dress will be great."

  I sighed and thought my first night back and already heading out? What would dad and mom think about that? Well, I wouldn't worry about it, I am an adult, and I can make up my mind. So I accepted. I hung up with Susan, flipped through my closet to find a cute outfit, pulled out a long body-hugging dress, and slid it on.

  Then I topped off my look with a red lipstick and high heels. I smiled at my reflection and murmured, "You are so fucking hot! This would help you forget about Ethan and get your mind off Knight. Moments later, Susan called to say she was outside. She couldn't come in because she was in a shared ride.

  I hurried downstairs past my mom. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where are you going, you just got here?"

  I kissed my mom on the cheek and let her know, "Its okay, mom, its a party with my friend Susan, you know Susan Halls. Tell dad I'd be back later tonight."

  "So you are not staying for dinner, but Ethan and his family are..."

  "Sorry mom, not tonight, love you."

  I said, kissing my mother on the cheek and hurrying out the door to meet Susan waiting in her car.

  "So, where are we going?" I asked Susan.

  She got a little guarded and didn't want to say anything.

  I got worried because why wouldn't she tell me exactly where we were headed? I said to Susan, "I hope it's not some crazy place?"

  Susan chuckled and said, "why would you even think that?"

  I said, “Because I know you. I'm a little nervous about this party thing."

  “I bet you are, so why aren't you with Ethan any longer? I shrugged and said to her, "it's not something I want to talk about."

  She smiled and said, "fair enough, but you must know the word has gotten around that you and Ethan split up because of something naughty that you did."

  I raised an eyebrow and turned to Susan. I said to her, "I'm still a virgin. I didn't do anything."

  She turned the car onto the next street and said, "that's just it, he did nothing. How long do you think is going to wait for you?

  He's not going to wait forever.

  You really ought to get rid of that will virginity thing, and that's where we are going today." I cocked an eyebrow and said to her, "you gotta be kidding?" She smirked mischievously and said, "Of course I'm not kidding. I'm honest. We are going to this fancy Mask Ball, where you might just meet your arrangement, wealthy Guy."

  I shook my head, not knowing what she was talking about.

  I said to her, "arrangement guy? what does that mean exactly?"

  She told me, "exactly what I said, arrangement dudes."

  I got a little unea
sy about the whole idea.

  I said to her, "you know you need to tell me exactly where you're taking me or else you and I gonna have a problem."

  She laughed and said okay, we going to this place where you know if a girl needs a little help, there's a man who can help out."

  I raised an eyebrow again and said to her, "What? Are you taking me to a sugar daddy meet? Are you insane or something?" She laughed and said, "Why are you so bothered by it? It's going to be fun; just relax, and besides not like you have to do anything with the guys and trust you, you going to keep it that chastity belt on."

  I said to her, "that's not the point. The point is,…"

  She interjected and said, "the point is it's time you got rid of it, and it's time you lived your life. You know your parents can't pay for that fancy college. There's going to be someone there that would help you out, and you know it's."'

  Within minutes we were at the location of this beautiful gentleman's club. Now I got a little nervous because the moment I got out of the car, Susan pulled me aside. I said to her where we going. She said over there."

  And with that, she pulled me to a corner and with the bottom of my dress off.

  I shrieked and said, "What are you doing, Susan?"

  She said, "what does it look like I'm doing? I'm getting you ready." And with that, my ankle-length dress became a knee-high dress.

  We walked into the gentlemen's club.

  It was incredibly beautiful, and I must say this, I was so nervous. Susan, on the other hand, seems to be a pro at this. She grabbed the mass mask and gave me a gold one. She said, "it's just part of the plan you see they like privacy. If it doesn't work out between you and your gentlemen, no hard feelings you never know him, you never know you, but of course, you will get compensated."

  I looked at her and said, "you are not serious about this, are you.

  She said, "oh, I am and don't look now, but I think you got a big fish."

  I spun around and noticed this incredibly handsome 6'5" tall man naturally tanned and all muscle definitely, judging from the way his gray Salvatore Ferragamo jacket and gray pants outlined his toned body looking my way.

  He had on a red mask.

  I swallowed and tried to look away, but I couldn't; he looked distinguished. Dark-haired well trimmed beard and oh my God, I noticed the silver streak in his hair. For some reason, he reminded me of my dad's best friend, Knight. But then I reasoned it could see him.

  They had some man made his way towards me and grabbed me by the hand, and said, "Would you like to dance?" I looked at Susan. 'She said, "she definitely would like to dance go ahead." I couldn't see another word because the next thing I knew, I was dancing with a stranger.

  He said, "I'm glad you're here. I know you need an arrangement, and I need something too, a woman who will accompany me while I'm back in this small town."

  I looked at him and said, “back in this small town?"

  He said, "yes, I grew up here, but I never thought I'd come back. I'm sorry I can’t get into the details until you accept the offer."

  I swallowed as he pulled me closer.

  He smelled terrific. It seemed as though he had on the most fantastic perfume on the shelf, and God I desired him.

  He leaned in, cupped my chin, and lowered his lips on mine. I pulled back and said, "I don't think that's part of the arrangement here."

  He laughed and said “fair enough."

  Then I heard someone in the background mention, “He's the hundred billion dollar man.”

  I swallowed as my kind stranger twirled me around. What did they mean by that?

  He made me feel beautiful by commenting on my gorgeous looks. I figured wow he is a mega billionaire? Now he could help me out. But then I reasoned I really couldn't ask him to pay my way to college that's crazy.

  I looked into the distance and noticed Susan smiling at me. She narrowed her eyes on mine and nodded in approval.

  Chapter 2

  Charlotte

  To be honest, I couldn't resist being with him. He wrapped his hands around my body and slowly pulled me even closer. The more he did this, the more turned on I became. I whispered underneath my breath, "Oh my God, don't do this, Charlotte just too soon. You don’t know this man“

  Yet even though I tried to deny the way my feelings, I just couldn't help it, I melted into him.,

  I wanted him even though we’d just met.

  He leaned in and whispered into my ear, “Let's get out of here.”

  But as he turned to lead me out of the building, someone reminded him, "you will know the rules tonight sir, you have to stay here with your masks on until the transaction is complete.”

  He nodded. I turned out we couldn’t see each other without keeping our masks on and we had to stay in the Club.

  And that's the moment one of the ushers at the party walked up to him. The usher whispered into his ear.

  I didn't hear what she said, but whatever it was, got his attention, because he then said, "I guess even though stepping out might be out of the question, however, we just got offered the fantasy room, and if you want we can use it? What do you say?”

  Now it sounded a little insane to me, yet I couldn't resist, so I said, "sure, why not"

  I figured we could go in there, and I could learn about him.

  And if something happens between us, then it was meant to happen right?

  He slid his hand into mine and led me toward the fantasy room.

  I turned to Susan as I walked past her.

  She smiled again and murmured underneath her breath, "Go get them, girl! You got this."

  I smiled back.

  Being with this guy felt so right even though going with a man I just might not be the best idea, yet I couldn't resist the urge to join him in the fantasy room.

  The moment we walked in, I noticed the plush huge bed seated in the center of the room. But this was no ordinary fantasy room, this was the luxurious penthouse suite.

  It was beautiful.

  My perfect masked stranger stood back and watched as I danced around the room.

  "Forgive me for acting this way, but I have never been in a place so beautiful," I said out loud.

  Amused by my reaction, he chuckled and said, "I take it you like what you see?"

  I shook my head.

  Disappointed by my reaction, he didn't say another word.

  I laughed and said, "Of course I love it! It's magnificent."

  And with those words, he stepped closer, pulled me close, and crushed his lips on mine. He pulled back and whispered into my ear, "So what do you want to do, darling. Can I please you?"

  I let out an audible moan as his lips delicately caressed my neckline. Of course, I wanted more.

  "As long as it safe, you know I love being safe."

  He chuckled and slowly slid down to his knees while keeping his eyes on mine. He slid my dress up to my waistline and pulled me close.

  He lifted me and placed me on the grand piano.

  I gasped and thought, wow, just like my favorite movie.

  I can't believe this is happening, but oh yes it was, I still don't know his name.

  Well, the rules said we could only go by numbers.

  He was number 9, and I was number 6.

  Okay, you get the point.

  I leaned back as he positioned his head between my legs and teased me kissing my inner thighs to my manicured muff.

  Still, he slid his lips around the area, leaving me breathless in anticipation!

  I stared down at him with pleading eyes.

  He paused, looked up at me, and said, "Patience, darling. You need to be patient my love. I will make it worth your while. I promise!"

  And with that, I leaned back on piano; my derriere played chaotic notes as the keys moved with his ministrations. Gentleman number 9 slid his lips down, sliding aside my soaked manicured fabric to side with his lips.

  Then he swiped his tongue on my pleasure spot driving me wild with need. My nipple
s tightened.

  I gasped and reached up for him. I quivered and clenched my thighs around his head, effectively imprisoning him between my legs.

  I could stop it. I cried in pleasure as my perfect stranger number 9 licked the insides, outsides, and all sides of my intimate soaked folds. I thrashed around the piano as it played more chaotic notes. I screamed out and sat up, as an earthquake shattering insane climax spun through my entire being!

  There was no stopping the feeling.

  I slid up, captured fistfuls of his dark hair as lips kept up the pace, drinking and pleasuring my pulsing center until I let go, shuddering as an overwhelming orgasm shot through my entire being.

  My perfect gentleman number 9 lapped me clean.

  I wanted to please him back just like I always did with my ex Ethan.

  But he refused and instead whispered in a low firm voice, "I will take care of you, no worries darling. I want to please you; darling can I do that? Would you let me do this, baby?"

  He kissed my lips and lifted me off the piano, and carried me into the bedroom.

  "I want you, darling; you are beautiful."

  I thought okay this is truly happening. There's no going back now. I bit my lower lip as he slowly slid my dress over my head, his fingers caressed my curves admiring every inch of my skin.

  "Gorgeous," he murmured, sliding my intimate fabric off my body and admiring my glistening curls. He kissed my lips one more time, then he pushed back and undressed slowly. It was as though he was giving me a show.

  He took his jacket off, then his cufflinks off, letting it cascade down to the floor. I watched as he slid his shirt off his broad shoulders ensuring I got a glimpse of the dark hair panes that slid across his gorgeous naturally tanned chest. I couldn't help it. I let out an audible moan the moment he took his pants and boxers off, revealing his thickness.

  Oh my goodness, I gasped at the sight of his massive length.
