Chasing Heartbreak (Dark Love 6)

“Do you—”

“No,” he stated firmly.

“Wait, so you just watch from here?”

“Occasionally, but not often.”

“I don’t understand?”

“I manage the business. I connect important people with people willing to fulfill their needs. See, much like yourself, people don’t have time for relationships, but it doesn’t mean their sexual desires aren’t important. I’ve created a place where people can express themselves, explore their desires, and walk away without the complication of being tied down to one person.”

I

tried to process it all but kept coming up with questions. I watched behind the window, and perhaps with Dominic standing so close to me, my body began to betray me. But then my mind shifted to Eric. He had mentioned these places as a joke. He’d have a heart attack knowing his brother was involved in such a business.

Dominic moved closer, trapping me before the glass. Yet he didn’t touch me, nor make a move, and his body being inches away ignited a flame which had long been burning down to almost nothing.

“Does it scare you?”

“Yes,” I whispered, barely holding my breath. “I don’t know. I’m not sure what it makes me feel.”

“Just watch.”

There was nothing to do but watch. Two women were in a scissor position. Again, there was a small crowd surrounding them while they continued to move. A young man was standing against a wall, two mature women on their knees as they took turns giving him a blow job. My eyes diverted around the room, all the while trying to ignore the pulsating throb between my thighs.

“So, you don’t have sex down there with people?”

“No.”

“Never?”

“Never,” he repeated.

“So, if we dated, what does that mean?”

A small pocket of air gushed behind as he pulled away, forcing me to turn around. Dominic created distance between us as if he couldn’t stand to be near me anymore.

“Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear, Kate. I don’t date. I don’t have relationships. This is who I am. I don’t mix business with pleasure.”

Touching the base of my neck, I narrowed my gaze on him. “So why did you bring me here?”

“Because I could see it in your eyes. Your desire to have a man touch you intimately.”

“I’m sorry, I don’t understand?” I interjected, crossing my arms in defiance. “You don’t want to touch me?”

“It’s not my job to touch you. I’m here to open your eyes to another world. A world where every fantasy can be met.”

I turned back around to avoid the humiliation which had crept in slowly and gazed at the scene before me. Dominic was proposing I fulfill my desires with a stranger, let go of my inhibitions as well as my morals for the sake of what? An orgasm that lasts not even a minute.

The nerve of him.

Suddenly, a burst of anger rattled me. The air in the room became stifling hot, my blazer had become too tight as sweat started to build beneath my blouse.

“I need… I need to get out of here.”

I turn to exit the room before Dominic latched onto my arm, holding me still.

“You’ll be back. Everyone always comes back,” he stated confidently. “You can play your morals in your head on repeat, but deep down inside, you can’t ignore your first initial reaction. Curiosity is the feeder of desire. And with desire becomes your ability to let it all go. You’ll see Kate, I promise.”
