When I walk into the room, I have no clue what to expect. There’s a curtain in place with a man sitting behind it, his bare legs and cock on full display. It’s definitely different from the other night when I had to lie on a bed and get my ass massaged. What the hell was I thinking agreeing to let that happen? There was nothing stimulating about it. This, however, is a different story.

The scent of his expensive cologne wafts in the air and I breathe him in. He smells so damn good. Kneeling down between his legs, I try to remember everything from the porno videos I watched the night before. Never in my life would I have considered watching a porno, but I needed the help. I’ve watched videos on how to jack a guy off, massage his balls, and how to suck it just right. I’m not like everyone else I know who’ve had multiple partners and know what they’re doing.

For a tiny moment, I can’t help but stare at the man’s body. His dick is so large and hard, it’s intimidating. I’m so afraid I’ll gag if I take him too far down my throat. Taking a deep breath, I wrap my lips around the tip and slowly take him into my mouth. He tastes salty and I swallow it down. When I hear the man’s groans of satisfaction, I suck him harder, wrapping my hands around the base of his cock so I can pump him.

The second I start massaging his balls, that’s when I hear him say, “Fuck yes,” in a voice so deep and sexy, I want to hear more of it. The sound sends shivers down my arm, but then, I realize, he’s just broken one of the rules.

He moans even more and I’m hoping it means I’m doing something right. He fists his hands in my hair and it’s my turn to gasp. Just the thought of pleasing him turns me on. I’ve never had much confidence when it came to men, but right now, it feels like I can do anything. It’s nice being desired, even if he doesn’t know who I am.

Closing my eyes, I take him down farther, squeezing my mouth against him as hard as I can. My cheek muscles burn, but I can’t stop. The insides of my legs are drenched and I’m aching to feel a release. I never would’ve thought I’d be turned on by sucking a man’s dick. It makes me want so much more.

The faster I pump and suck him, the louder his moans grow. His cock hardens even more and I can feel it pulsating against my lips. “I’m going to come,” he says with a groan. “You might want to move away.”

My eyes snap open and I pull away, his hands sliding through my hair as the warm, milky liquid of his release shoots out of his cock. It gets all over the back of my hand and I don’t know what to do with it so I wipe it on his leg. Maybe it was a good idea to pull away instead of swallowing it all. I probably would’ve choked with how much came out.

“You’re not supposed to talk,” I whisper low.

He chuckles. “Just trying to be considerate. Most women don’t like to swallow.”

Rising to my feet, I step back toward the door. “Thanks. I hope you enjoyed it.”

“You were amazing,” he murmurs huskily. “Maybe one day you’ll let me return the favor.” It’s strange talking to a man who’s behind a curtain. A part of me just wants to tear it back and see who he is, but then again, not knowing is very intriguing.

I stop at the door, wishing he could help ease the ache between my legs. “We’ll see.”

A deep chuckle escapes his lips again, almost like he knows it’ll happen one way or another. I quickly open the door and shut it behind me. Jared is waiting for me with a smile on his face. “How’d it go?”

Heat rises to my cheeks. “Good,” is all I can say.

He hands me a long, black box and steps back. “Welcome to Society X, Alexandria.”

A part of me wants to come back so bad I can taste it, but the other part, can’t help but feel like it’s wrong to want such carnal pleasures. Especially, with men I have no connection with. I open the box and inside there’s an exquisite silver necklace with a diamond encrusted charm in the shape of an X.

“The next time you come, make sure you wear that around your neck,” Jared instructs.

I stare at the necklace and then close the box. “Thank you. It’s very beautiful.”

“Shall I put you on the schedule again? Maybe even try a different room?”

My cheeks burn when I meet his gaze. “Not yet. I need to process this all first.”

He nods and guides me to the back door. “I understand. Whenever you’re ready, just give me a call. I already emailed a survey to you about your partner. All I need you to do is fill it out as soon as you can.”

The door opens and I step out into the cool, night air. “And he gets to do the same?” I ask, peering at him over my shoulder.

Jared grins. “He does. And if you ever want the same partner again, we can make it happen.”

“Thanks. I’ll be in touch.” Turning my back, I walk to my car with a smile on my face. Once inside, I pull out my phone and bring up my email. The survey is there and I fill it out, giving my partner an excellent review. All I have to do now is wait to see what he says about me.

The next morning, I get up and prepare for work. My Society X necklace is secure around my neck, hidden beneath my shirt. It feels sexy and sinful having it on, hiding it so no one can see. I open my front door and stop when my phone beeps with an incoming email. Holding my breath, I freeze where I stand. I glance down at the screen and it’s from Society X with the results of my rating.

My heart pounds in my chest. I’m nervous and excited, but also terrified. What if the man ends up giving me a bad rating? If so, I know I’ll never show my face around the club again. Impatience overtakes me and I open the email, not caring that my door is wide open behind me. I can’t wait another second longer.

The email is splayed on my screen but I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I don’t even know why I care so much. Opening my eyes, I stare down at my results. Excitement bubbles in my chest and I burst out laughing. The man gave me all good ratings, and even put yes as the answer to the question on if he wants to be with me again. My neighbor stops at the end of his driveway and stares at me as he’s picking up the newspaper.

I lock my door and wave. “Good morning, Mr. Santiago.”

Dressed in a pair of striped pajama pants with his gray hair in disarray, he waves back. Mr. Santiago is a nice man with an even nicer wife. Every time she makes cinnamon raisin bread, she always brings me a loaf. “Morning, Alexandria. You’re awfully happy this morning.”

I hurry to my car and throw my purse inside. “It’s going to be a good day. Tell Mrs. Santiago I said hi.”

“I will.”

Getting in my car, I wave at him again and hurry to work. Sandy is there, preparing three whole trays of her buttermilk biscuits when I walk in the door. “Good morning, Alex. Did you have a good night?” she inquires.

Cheeks burning, I put on my apron and smile. “Yes, I did. You?”

She cuts the last of her dough and places the round pieces on the tray. “I did. The hubby and I went over to our daughter’s house to eat dinner. I love seeing my grandbabies.”

“And I bet they love seeing their nana.” I walk over and start putting the trays of biscuits into the ovens. “What are we doing today?” There’s always some kind of event we have to cater for, even if it’s a large corporate event or a small meal for the local doctor’s offices.

Sandy washes her hands, sighing. “The dentist office down the street called as soon as I came in, asking if we could make a huge breakfast for their employees. I figured we could get it done fast. We have an hour and a half before we have to deliver it.”

Glancing at the clock, I smile. “We’ll get it done.” Breakfast is easy to make, especially, with four of us putting it together. Dani walks in and Adrienne follows behind her.

Sandy’s gaze narrows at me. “You’re chipper this morning. Dating someone?”

I burst out laughing. “Not exactly. Let’s just say I had a good night.” As soon as I got home from Society X, I took care of business to ease the ache between my legs. It felt so good I got off twice.

Dani and Adrienne stare at me and Dani snickers. Once Sandy walks out of the room, Dani and Adrienne both flank me as I crack the eggs. “Did you go to the club last night again?” Dani asks.

“Shh, don’t talk so loud.” Laughing, I shake my head.

“You did, didn’t you? How’d it go? It wasn’t like last time was it, with Mr. Butt Massager?” Adrienne asks, moving closer.

Giggling, I finish cracking the eggs and lean against the counter. “Hell, no. This time, it was exhilarating. Just being in the club is a high all in itself.”

Dani nods. “That’s what my cousin says all the time. She’s addicted to that place.”

Adrienne nudges me in the side. “Did you go in the same room?”

I smile at them. “Yep.”

Dani fans herself. “Whoa, I bet that was hot. I think I need to give this place a try.”

“What did you do in there?” Adrienne asks.

Biting my lip, I cover my face. “I gave a man a blowjob.” I peeked at her through my fingers, embarrassed even admitting it. “I wanted to see what it was like. And I didn’t have to worry about the man watching me.”

They both burst out laughing and Dani pats my shoulder. “Did you spit or swallow?”

“Actually, this is the interesting part. The guy warned me to back up and ended up coming all over himself.”

Dani’s eyes widen in disbelief. “Really? I didn’t think you were allowed to talk in the rooms.”

I shrug. “You’re not, but I have to say, his voice was sexy as hell.”

“Must be nice that he warned you to move away. Most men would make the girl swallow,” Adrienne says, snorting in disgust.

Dani claps her hands excitedly. “Oh my God, do you think you’ll go back and be with him again?”

Adrienne grabs my arm. “What if this guy’s disgusting and fat with a beer gut?”

I shake my head. “His legs were athletic and slim. There’s no way.”

“I say go back and get your own pleasures,” Dani suggests. “Might as well enjoy it.”

Adrienne agrees with a nod. “Like she said. I’m living vicariously through you, my friend. I want to hear everything. It’s better than a romance novel.”

Groaning, I run my hands over my face. “Fine, I’ll see what I can do. If this guy wants to be with me again, he has to make the first move.”

Dani giggles. “Make him work for it, girl. You can always get another man to pleasure you.”

I can, but deep down that’s not what I want. “I think I’ll wait it out,” I say. “There’s something about this guy I can’t ignore. I want to know more about him. Maybe it’s his voice, I don’t know. I can’t stop thinking about him.”

Adrienne fans herself. “This is so hot.”

My whole body is on fire. “Yes, it is. I just hope he wants to be with me again. After all, he did say he’d like to return the favor.”
