The Irresistible Bundle (48 page)

Chapter Four

"Did you say that Yvette is providing all of our outfits?" Sati asked Carina. Yvette owned a boutique uptown where anyone and everyone went to get dressed for every occasion. Carina and the girls had met Yvette on Halloween hoping to gain admittance into Club 69's exclusive party. Yvette had dressed each of the girls and they'd quickly become known as the
Irresistible 8.
Some of their costumes had even won categories for the night. It was the night Sati would always remember; Valentino had taken Sati and Carina to his place for a night of mind-blowing sex.

"Yep" Carina smiled broadly. "Nicholas and Valentino have an agreement with her. Whatever numbers we perform she can design, order, or suggest costume ideas for us."

"Love these flapper dresses" Beatriz squealed as she slipped into her stockings. The girls enthusiastically nodded as they admired the dresses on the rack.

"How many numbers are we doing tonight again?" Melissa added another layer of mascara as she peeked at Carina. The girls were all grateful that Carina had insisted to have them all included in this. The last time they'd hung out as a group was last winter.

"It's opening night" Carina reminded the girls. "The place will be packed between VIPs and club members. For this weekend we're only performing three numbers per night. Nicholas has two other acts with us. He wants to get member feedback before he commits to anything more."

"We will blow their minds" Chelsea crowed. The girls laughed in agreement.

"Stick to the routine" Andrea barked at the group. She narrowed her eyes at Melissa and Chelsea specifically. They were the notorious skanks of the group. "If we intend to be the main act for the summer we have to incorporate sensuality and eroticism while being tasteful about it. The minute your skankiness gets out of line you're out!"

"We'll be on our best behavior" Melissa saluted to Andrea and Carina. "Chels and I will never get another opportunity to earn such good money doing something like this unless we go to the strip clubs."

"This isn't a fucking strip club" Desirae snarled. She didn't understand why the others willingly hung out with these two but they attracted guys like flies to shit.

"It's a sex club" Chelsea scoffed.

"The nightclub is attached to the sex club. And that is only open to members" Carina's firm voice made Chelsea pout. "This is our test to see if we will be the main act for the summer. No fuck ups" Carina looked at each of the girls. Some were considered friends. Others were just casual acquaintances. "Understood?"

Seven heads solemnly bobbed up and down in agreement. "Put on your costumes" Carina instructed. "Nicholas wants to inspect us before we get ready to go on stage."

Everyone scattered to finish fixing their hair and makeup. Carina smiled looking forward to the night's performances. No one but the stage manager had seen all of their performances. Jaws were guaranteed to drop before the night was through.

Nicholas walked into the girls' private wing. The other acts shared a dressing room but since Carina's group was larger than the others they had their own private space. Nicholas tapped on the door and let himself in. If anyone was still indecent they'd have to deal with it.

"Line up" Carina commanded as Nicholas entered the room. She stood next to Desirae and smiled as she watched Nicholas nonchalantly adjust himself.

Nicholas held his breath as he looked at the eight young ladies standing shoulder to shoulder. Their first performance was less than 30 minutes away. Nicholas' eyes traveled from each performer. They all wore similar feathered headpieces and fishnet stockings but their dresses embodied their personalities and styles.

Carina stepped forward to be inspected first. She wore a black beaded mini tube dress with a halter beaded overlay that draped over her curves. Nicholas sucked in a sharp breath as he took a closer look; the dress was actually sheer but the beaded overlay helped to conceal her prized assets. The mini dress barely covered her ass and the thigh-high fishnet stockings screamed for attention. Nicholas nodded his approval unable to speak without his voice betraying him.

Desirae sashayed towards Nicholas with a knowing glint in her eye. Nicholas bit his inner cheek as his eyes grazed over her strapless purple mini dress with silver designs. The dress was equally short but featured long fringes trailing down her thighs. A silver choker drew the eyes to her bare shoulders and collarbone. Desirae wore purple fuck-me heels with silver trim.

"Nice" Nicholas croaked as Desirae curtsied.

Melissa strutted out next. She wore a red mini dress tiered with short pink-colored fringes. The sequined strip at the top of the dress barely contained her breasts and the sides revealed her hips and a glimpse of her back. Her feathered headpiece and heels were the same color of the dress making the dress flirty yet sexy.

"No wardrobe malfunctions correct" Nicholas verified. Her breasts looked like they'd spill out at any moment.

"Nope" Melissa confidently stated as she cupped her silicone breasts. "These babies are snug as a bug."

Andrea snickered while Desirae rolled her eyes. Nicholas looked at Carina who only shrugged. "Next" Nicholas barked. Melissa shuffled over to the 'approved' line.

Andrea stepped forward in a blue satin mini dress with a beaded necklace halter. Attached beads hung from the dress making the costume sassy yet sultry. Andrea's halter was different from Carina's top making each girl unique. While Carina's halter held the beaded overlay with a choker, Andrea's looked like Mardi Gras necklaces looped around her neck to hold the dress together. She wore black, 3/4 long satin gloves that paired beautifully with the tulle material at the bottom of the dress. The material skirted out giving the viewer glimpses at what lay beneath.

"Love it" Nicholas beamed at Andrea. She was exactly what he would've envisioned for this theme. The dress wasn't predictable yet it drew attention without being ostentatious.

Beatriz lifted her chin and stepped out of the line. Her costume was completely different from the others yet perfectly melded into their theme. She tipped her white gangster hat at Nicholas while slowly turning in a circle to allow him to view the entire costume. She wore a double-breasted black and gray striped jacket that featured tight short sleeves with black cuffs. The bottom of the jacket shaped into garters that held her thigh-highs while her tight black skirt with ruffled edges showed skin between her skirt and stockings. Her two-toned heels resembled a man's dress shoe as the final touch to her ensemble. Beatriz pretended to puff away at her cigarette holder while Nicholas applauded.

"Nice touch" he praised. "I like you ladies originality."

Sati stood next to Beatriz and waited for Nicholas to shift his focus to her. She wore a stunning gold sequined formfitting dress. The keyhole front and straight black and gold beaded neckline allowed a glimpse at her golden skin. Nicholas traced the black lace hemline and fingered the sequined fringes that ended mid-thigh. Her dress was so stunning that it was easy to overlook how much skin it revealed. Rather than wearing satin gloves, Sati draped her bare arms and shoulders with a black feather boa. Her gold peep-toe heels had matching feathers that completed the outfit.

Nicholas bit his lip nodding with approval. He ignored the sets of eyes that continually locked onto his obvious erection. He wanted the nightclub's patrons to have a similar reaction.

Ariel skipped forward confident with her safe choice. Her turquoise mini dress peeked through long black fringes that began at the top of the dress and ended mid-thigh. Her black spaghetti straps matched her choker and headpiece. Ariel chose turquoise colored heels to spice things up.

"Wrap some beads around your wrist" Nicholas suggested. Ariel nodded as she looked for matching beads to place on her bare arms.

Chelsea sauntered over last. Her flirty smile told Nicholas a lot. Obviously the girl thought she'd saved the best for last. Her impressive silver mini dress sparkled in the light. The four layers of short fringes covered the body of the dress while the last layer was longer and ended mid-thigh like many of her companions. The one-shoulder dress had a slanted cut at the bottom hemline drawing attention to her shapely legs. Chelsea twirled the body-length beaded necklace while Nicholas visibly inspected the rest of her attire. She wore a shiny silver choker that also matched her feathered headpiece. Her killer heels drew attention to her long legs. The silver strappy stilettos made the entire ensemble look sophisticated yet sensuous. Nicholas was thoroughly impressed.

"Who chose this outfit" Nicholas asked the group. Chelsea blinked hard as she lost her confident stance.

"Yvette" Carina replied for the group. "She chose each of our outfits specific to us."

"Then she did a phenomenal job. As long as Melissa stays in one-piece this will be an impressive set." Nicholas praised. "Good luck ladies." He exited the room to a gaggle of delighted squeals.

"
Paris (ooh la la)"

Jaxon waited impatiently as the valet attendant handed him a ticket. It was the grand opening for the new nightclub at the estate. Nicholas hadn't even told him the name of the place. Apparently he'd kept most of the details close to his chest. Jaxon looked around as more people gathered at the entrance of the new club. The front of the building was covered with oversized black sheets not allowing anyone to get a glimpse of the new establishment. Jaxon's eyes traveled over the area. He knew Carina would be working at the club tonight but Nicholas hadn't revealed in what capacity. Jaxon growled as he recalled Nicholas' promise. They still hadn't come to a consensus regarding the state of Jaxon's account. All he knew was that it had to involve Carina; he wouldn't settle for anything less.

"They're calling VIP members to the front" Richard nudged him. Jaxon nodded and followed other VIP members to the velvet rope. The men nodded their heads as they made eye contact with Nicholas and Valentino. Jaxon bit his lip as he found Marco staring at him. Apparently their presence would be a thorn in his side but he'd tolerate it. The men had always been professional and there was no way in hell that Nicholas would allow them to blacklist him from the nightclub.

"Thank you everyone for coming out this evening" Nicholas called out to the growing crowd.

"Welcome to the grand opening of
Scandalous
" Valentino's voiced boomed as the black sheets fell away from the building. Murmurs of approval and clapping echoed around them.

The new nightclub matched the estate's luxurious exterior. It's frosted glass doors hinted at a peek at what lay beyond. The club's name at the exterior of the building was visible for all to see. The shiny silver letters elegantly scrawled across the building made it seem like a high-end classy establishment while the name hinted at something entirely different.

Valentino and Nicholas personally greeted every VIP as they followed the velvet rope and walked through the frosted doors. Another sign at the entrance had everyone pausing to get a closer look. The word
Scandalous
screamed for attention because of the image where the letter "d" was supposed to be. The straight line of the "d" was a stripper pole while the belly of the letter was a female form curved against the pole; the faceless female's legs extended below the word, hinting at the image of an actual woman posing for the club's name.

"Impressive" Richard nodded with approval as he waded through gawking spectators. A hostess beamed as Jaxon and his uncle approached. She verified their names and sashayed over to their VIP booth.

"What's the stage for" Jaxon asked the hostess.

"You'll see" she winked as she walked away. Jaxon laughed and shook his head as she almost ran into another group of VIPs.

Servers greeted them with the same professionalism and familiarity as whenever they visited the sex club. Everything was new yet familiar. Jaxon watched as Marco oversaw everything. Valentino and Nicholas remained at the main entrance welcoming everyone in. Jaxon looked at every staff member trying to see if Carina was anywhere around.

A DJ played music while servers in bikinis offered body shots to willing patrons. Male servers in tight, polyester-material mini black shorts with zippered fronts offered female patrons body shots. Their slick bare chests had groups of women hooting and hollering. It was easy to see why the club would be scandalous.

Jaxon stretched out his legs as Nicholas droned on about the different things the club had to offer. Nicholas motioned to the stage grabbing everyone's attention. Jaxon sat up as Nicholas spoke about erotic performances and sensuous dance numbers. Richard rubbed his hands together eager to see the talent for the night.

Nicholas stepped away as the lights dimmed throughout the club. Servers turned their attention to the stage making everyone else take notice. Jaxon eyed the unattended instruments to the side. Suddenly he heard a voice that had his cock swelling with anticipation.

"Holy fuck" he breathed as he waited to see her.

"What" his uncle inquired.

"It's Carina and the girls" Jaxon groaned as Carina came into view. The crowd gasped while others cheered as the girls sauntered onto the stage. Jaxon's eyes darkened as he looked at the sexy as hell group swaying their hips to the music. Carina's voice belted throughout the nightclub.
