Ace's POV
1 Week before the costume party.
"Savannah, I have to go to work." I told her getting out of her bed.
"Be late. Who cares? You own the company."
"I own it with my brothers, and I have to show up to the meeting." I tell her as I put on my pants. They aren't my real brothers. Well Reign is but Dominic is my best friend and Tate is the other one. He's still my best friend but he and Reign are close, and Dominic and I are close. Reign is my twin brother, but he was born first even if by just a few minutes my father treated him differently because of it.
"You've missed many before, what's the big deal? I want another round."
"The big deal is that I just got them convinced that I haven't had a drink in weeks, and I have control of the clubs again. I don't want to lose it."
"Then you better grab a clean shirt and a toothbrush because I can still smell the alcohol on you." she said, and I walked out her door and to my car. I had clean clothes at the hotel. That's one of the businesses we own together. Our fathers started this together and we were raised to take over for them. None of us really wanted to but we were destined to. Our fathers made sure of that.
I pulled into the hotel and went up to our floor. It was just for us and only those we wanted to have access to and only the four of us plus Ellie had it. I jumped in the shower because Savannah was right, I smelled like alcohol. After a quick shower and some fresh clothes, I brushed my teeth and headed to the meeting room.
I walked in and they were all there. I glanced at the clock and realized I was five minutes late.
"You're late. Where the hell were you?" Reign snapped at me. No surprise. He was up my ass all the time.
"Taking a f*****g shower. Can we move on?" I snapped right back at him.
"Do we have the numbers on the hotel yet?" Tate asked, looking at Dominic.
"Numbers are still strong. Bookings are up and the gala for the fundraiser is coming along good. Tickets are selling like hot cakes."
"Good." Reign said.
"Anyone got anything else? I have to take Pancake to the vet." Tate said and we all nodded that we had nothing. He got up and left and Dominic followed his lead.
"Were you drinking last night?"
"f**k would you leave me alone. You need a girlfriend or something but get the f**k out of my ass."
"I'm just worried about you."
"Ya I'm sure you are. Now if you will excuse me, I have some stuff to do for the clubs. You know work," I said, getting up storming to my office.
I pulled up my laptop and got busy on the s**t I needed to order for both clubs and did all the other s**t I needed to do. I had my head buried when my door opened, and Dominic walked in.
"Hey what's up?"
"I'm over this day? Wanna go out?" he asked even though he knew the answer to that question.
"You know if my brother catches us drinking, he's going to kick your ass."
"Listen you're a big boy who's of age and can make his own decisions. I'm going out what you choose to do with that information is up to you."
"Let's go." I told him and shut down my laptop and locked up my office. Even though no one had access up here you couldn't be too careful.
"Where are we headed?" I asked getting into Dominic's car.
"The strip."
"Perfect."
We drove to the strip in silence. This place had everything you needed in one place. You wanted to watch girls get naked at ten in the morning, they had them, you needed a drink, they had it, it doesn't matter what time. Needs some drugs they have it all but cocaine and that's only because Tate shut that s**t down and doesn't sell to them or anyone anymore, but you could get everything else there.
Dominic pulled in and we went straight to the strip club. Nothing better than getting a good buzz and your d**k sucked in the morning. We went to our usual table in the front and the waitress brought us each a whiskey and dropped down in my lap.
"Hey baby, didn't know you were coming in this morning. Been a few days."
"I've been busy."
"How about a welcome back dance," she whispered. She was also a dancer but would waitress from time to time. I downed the rest of my whiskey, and she got off my lap grabbing my hand and pulled me back to a private room.
She turned the lights down and jumped on stage and walked to the back turning on some music. I sat down in the chair. I spread my legs and rested my hands on knees leaning forward. I watched as Ariel crawled across the stage floor coming to the pole and spreading her legs out and then wrapping them around the bottom of the pole and pushed herself up into a handstand and grabbed the pole with her hands and twirled around it.
I could feel myself getting hard watching her. She continued to work the pole and slowly took off her clothes until she was in just a florescent yellow thong. She got off the stage and I watched as her fake t**s bounced up and down when she did. She got down on the floor and crawled over in between my legs. She ran her hands up my thighs making me move my hands and sit back all the way.
"What do you want today?" she asked as she eyed the bulge in my pants.
"Depends on what you're offering."
"Baby you know you can always have the full package. Just depends on how much you want to pay."
"Suck it," I told her, and she didn't hesitate to reach up and undo my pants. I lifted my hips letting her pull them down far enough that I was completely free. She licked her lips before she licked the tip and then swallowed me down as far as she could.
She worked me over with her mouth and hands at the same time and damn this woman is good at this as she should be since she gets paid to do it. It was long before I was groaning and shooting my c*m down her throat. She took it all and then cleaned me up with her tongue. I pulled my pants back up and she went and got her clothes as I pulled out my wallet and tossed her a few hundred dollar bills her way. She picked them up, winked at me and went through the back door.
"That didn't take long," Dominic said as I sat down.
"Doesn't when the w***e knows what she's doing."
We sat there watching the girls and drinking whiskey. Finally having enough of this s**t, I got Dominic to take me home so I could sleep a few hours before I had to be at the club. I was only there a few nights a week. It mostly ran itself. I just did paperwork and did the ordering and checked in with the managers. They took care of everything else. Tonight, however, I had a meeting with Mila about this stupid costume party. She had begged me to do it and it took her several weeks to get me on board but once I agreed she took the idea and ran.
"Mila, you really took care of everything," I said looking over everything she had shown me. She had done all the work besides the extra drinks I had brought in.
"I told you I really wanted to do this. I'm bored and need something to do."
"So, get a job." I told her.
"I've thought about it, but I don't know what I would do. I've never had to work and honestly I don't want to but just need little projects to do once in a while."
I went to say something when my office door was thrown open and Savannah walked in. She ignored Mila and came and sat down in my lap.
"What are you doing here?" I ask not expecting her to show up, but I shouldn't be surprised she does this s**t all the time. We weren't dating, we just slept together a lot and did a lot of partying.
"I have a problem with one of the girls. I have to let her go and I need you to take her off the app."
"Which girl?"
"Genie."
"What did she do?"
"She went and sought out her client afterwards and tried to have a relationship with him or so he says but she did contact him afterwards and that is a major no no."
"I'll get her taken down tonight. Now please leave I'm in a meeting with Mila," I told her, and she proceeded to shove her tongue down my throat before getting off my lap and walking out, not even giving Mila a second look.
As soon as the door was shut Mila started asking questions, "What the hell was that? What app? What girl? Do you have a secret business the guys don't know about?"
"They know about it. Savannah and I started somewhat of an escort service or rather dating service and what happens on their date is between them. I run the app and take care of any problems with our male clients and Savannah takes care of the girls."
"So, you need a new girl?"
"Absolutely not. Dominic would kill me."
"He isn't the boss of me. I can do what I want. Besides it would be perfect. It would give me something to do."
"I told you no. Now what do you need me to do for this costume party?"
"I think I have it all taken care of. The decorators will be here that morning to take care of everything. I just need you to make sure the club is unlocked and that someone is there while they do their thing. I can be here if you need me to."
"No, I will have the manager do it."
"Sounds good. I'll see you later," she says and gets up, but I stop her before she gets to the door.
"Mila, I'm serious. Do not go to Savannah about a job. I won't approve it and I'm the one who puts the girls on the app. If you do, I will tell Dominic about it."
"Again, what I do with my life is no one's business besides mine. Tell him all you want because he can go f**k off," she said and then stomped the rest of the way out of my office.
I sighed and got up from my desk and walked over to the large window that I had that overlooked everything. I could see most of the club from here. I watched as people ordered their drinks and then those that were grinding on each other on the floor and those who thought they were in a dark enough corner that no one could see them making out or more. We've had to kick people out more than once for basically f*****g in the corner. I don't get it. I like s*x just as much as they do but damn take it to a room. Not everyone wants to see that.
I went downstairs and grabbed a beer from the cooler and chugged it down really fast before checking with my manager that there were no issues and then headed upstairs for the night. I needed some more sleep tonight.
