Finding Prince Charming

His gaze meets mine, and he slowly rakes his eyes down my body. Usually when men do this, I feel objectified, but with this guy, it feels different. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because it doesn’t feel like he’s checking me out as if I’m a piece of meat, but instead drinking me in, like he’s thirsty and is dying for a sip.

His eyes finally land back on mine, and they twinkle like he appreciates what he sees. A small, boyish grin curls up on one side of his mouth and my belly does some weird flip-flop thing. I take in a deep breath and break eye contact. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

“Good afternoon,” he says, speaking up first. “My name is Liam, and this is my brother, Nate, and my cousin Jack.” He speaks with a sexy accent. His words are clear, but it’s obvious he’s not from here.

“Welcome to La Stella’s,” I say to him, extending my hand to shake his. “My name is Natalie and I’ll be helping you find your perfect companion.”

He takes my hand in his, but instead of shaking it, he brings it up to his lips and lightly kisses my knuckles. Butterflies attack my chest, making it hard to breathe, and I release a harsh breath.

Edgardo clears his throat and it’s then I realize everyone is waiting for me to continue. Liam smirks, knowing damn well what he’s doing to me. He releases my hand and I shake my head slightly to get ahold of myself. “I’ll escort you to the office and we’ll go from there,” I tell the three of them, before turning on my heel and entering the mansion.

The three gentlemen follow me with their guards trailing behind. I assume they’ll leave them at the office door, but they all walk through. They stand in the back of the room, while Liam, Nate, and Jack have a seat on the couch across from me. Edgardo stays with me the entire time as well, standing behind me. The whole thing feels way too serious… official… like we’re signing an act of congress as opposed to finding them a woman to spend the weekend with.

Nico walks in and introduces himself. They make small talk for a few minutes, before Nico assures them I’ll make sure they’re taken care of and if they need anything to let one of us know.

“Here are the catalogues.” I hand them each an iPad. “You fill out the questionnaire with your likes and dislikes. What you’re looking for in a lover. Once you hit submit, the women who meet your criteria will pop up. They have all signed an NDA as requested and are aware they’re going in blind and will have zero details about you. You will have the entire weekend with them, if you so choose. You may select a private room or to leave the mansion, but if you opt to leave, a guard will accompany her. There are three indoor pools and two outdoor ones on the grounds. There are three Jacuzzis, a restaurant, and a theatre room. The woman you select is familiar with the mansion and the surrounding area, so you can ask her and she’ll take you anywhere you wish to go.”

The purpose of this gentleman’s club is for them to be able to feel comfortable. Many men come here several times a week, and not just for the sex, but for the companionship. Some are single, widowed, and others are in a marriage they wish they weren’t in. I’ve learned a long time ago not to judge. I don’t know their backgrounds, just like they don’t know mine.

“We want your stay here to be perfect, so if you need anything, please ask.”

The three men nod, but Liam is the one who speaks. “Thank you. This is our first time in the States and La Stella’s was recommended for their high-class service and discretion. I can now see why.”

While they spend the next several minutes filling out their questionnaires, I take the time to assess them. They’re all good-looking, and I doubt they would have trouble finding someone to have sex with, so them coming here must be because of the discretion, as Liam mentioned. They aren’t able to just go out and pick up a woman at a bar and bring her back to their hotel rooms. It would be a little awkward asking her to sign an NDA before sliding into her.

Jack is the first one to complete his questionnaire and it notifies me on my iPad who he’s selected. I let Edgardo know, and he sees him out to private room two to meet with Anastasia.

Nate is next, and since Edgardo isn’t back yet, I offer to escort him. I show him to private room three and wait for Jessica to arrive. All private rooms have a bed, a bathroom, and a living room area complete with a television—like a small loft apartment. And inside the drawer of the dresser are various toys, depending on what they’ve requested, as well as condoms and lube. All members are required to show proof of them being clean as well as use protection, and all escorts are on birth control.
