Chapter 847: Nicole's Wicked Fun
Lucas woke up at nine in the morning, but Nicole was nowhere to be found. Thinking about the passionate night they had shared, he felt a sense of loss. He got up, dressed, and walked out of Room 2, feeling as if the previous night had been a dream.
"Mr. Jason, did you rest well?" Valerie approached with a smile. "Mr. Peter had to leave for some business, but he asked me to make sure you were well taken care of. If you ever come back to Aetheria, you must visit our club again. Nicole misses you very much."
"Did she really say that?" Lucas's heart leaped with joy. Though he knew it was naive to expect genuine feelings in such a place, he couldn't help but hope he was special. "Where is she?"
"She went back to school," Valerie said, noticing Lucas's infatuation with Nicole. "She has exams these days, so she won't be at the club for a while."
"Oh, I see. Maybe next time then," Lucas said, disappointed. He couldn't stay here waiting for Nicole to return. "Mrs. Nora, please thank Mr. Peter for his hospitality. I'll be leaving now."
He walked slowly towards the exit, feeling a lingering attachment. For the first time, a woman had made him feel this way, not even his wife Audrey had captivated him so. Nicole seemed to understand him without words, making him feel wonderful.
Moreover, Nicole's body fit his penis perfectly, giving him a sense of manly prowess he never felt with Audrey, whose deep vagina always left him feeling inadequate. Meeting a considerate girl like Nicole felt like a stroke of luck.
But it pained him that such a wonderful girl was stuck in such a place, at the mercy of men. He wanted to save her, but without Mr. Peter's permission, it was a hopeless dream. He didn't even know if he would see Nicole again, feeling powerless.
As Lucas reached the club's entrance, Valerie came running after him, slightly out of breath. "Mr. Jason, wait a moment," she said, holding a piece of paper. "I'm sorry, I almost forgot. Nicole asked me to give this to you."
Lucas took the paper, surprised. It had a neatly written line of calligraphy: "If love between both lasts for long, why need they stay together night and day?" followed by a phone number. He read the line twice, feeling a surge of happiness. Nicole hadn't forgotten him; she liked him.
"Thank you, Mrs. Nora. Thank you," Lucas said, flustered. He carefully put the note in his pocket, said his goodbyes to Valerie, and drove away from the club.
Two hours later, Lucas stopped at a service area on the highway, quickly ate a bowl of beef noodles, and bought a pack of cigarettes. He got back into his truck, thinking about seeing his wife Audrey in a few hours. He looked forward to spending a few days with her after this job.
As he put the cigarettes in his pocket, he felt the note. He took it out, reading the poem again, feeling guilty. He had a wife, and this was just a fling. How could he have feelings for someone else?
But Nicole was different from other women he had met in such places. She was pure, sticking to her principles, and trusted him enough to give him her number. He couldn't let her down.
After much hesitation, Lucas memorized the phone number and tore the note into pieces, letting them scatter in the wind. He then mustered the courage to send Nicole a text message…
In a university lecture hall, Nicole sat in the back row, trying to stay awake. Despite a strong cup of American coffee, she couldn't fight the overwhelming drowsiness. She had barely slept last night, napped for an hour in her dorm in the morning, and then went to class. Even she couldn't handle consecutive sleepless nights, dealing with those men was exhausting.
But the hard work paid off handsomely. A night's tips ranged from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, far more than what student assistants earned in a month.
Sometimes, Nicole wondered why she kept studying when she could earn more at the club in a year than a university professor. But she knew this mindset was wrong. As Mrs. Nora had warned her, the club was a cesspool. The longer she stayed, the more she would lose her principles and conscience, just like the men who came to the club, pretending to be virtuous while being wolves in sheep's clothing.
However, the man named Lucas from last night was interesting. He seemed genuinely moved by her story and wanted to help her. If it had been her early days, she might have felt guilty deceiving him. But now, her heart was hardened, and she didn't easily get emotional. Despite having a wife, Lucas sought thrills at the club, no different from other men.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Nicole glanced at it, seeing a text from an unknown number. "Nicole, it's Lucas. Are you free to talk?"
It was that man with the small penis. Nicole smiled. She had used all her tricks to make Lucas feel like a hero, despite his inadequacies. Men who came to the club sought the thrill of conquest, and some were even perverse, taking out their frustrations on women. One girl had a wealthy Hong Kong client who nearly bit off her nipple and stuffed golf balls into her vagina, ending up in the hospital.
Nicole looked at the professor on the podium, then quickly typed a reply. She had to keep Lucas hooked, as Mrs. Nora had instructed.
"Lucas, you were amazing last night. I'm still sore and can barely walk. You have to take responsibility."
Lucas's penis hardened again, remembering Nicole's submissive demeanor last night. He felt a surge of pride, feeling like a real man for the first time in years, only with Nicole.
"Nicole, I'm sorry for being rough. I'll be gentler next time. Give me your bank account number, and I'll send you some money. You're working so hard, you need to take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Lucas, but it's not necessary. I can take care of myself. You work hard for your money, no need to spend it on me."
"Nicole, you're not just anyone to me. I want to help you, trust me."
"I trust you, Lucas. You're the best man I've ever met. And the most amazing lover. I want to be with you, but I don't want to be a bad woman. It's so confusing."
Lucas, inexperienced in relationships, was no match for Nicole. She had him wrapped around her finger, making him forget his beautiful, sexy wife Audrey.
Audrey was far more attractive than Nicole, especially with her 36G breasts compared to Nicole's C cup. But right now, the understanding Nicole was replacing his wife in his heart, making him obsessed.
Nicole chatted with Lucas, smiling occasionally. Teasing such a naive man was more fun than the lecture. It was her wicked pleasure, unaware that the professor, Dave, had noticed her.
"Nicole, please answer the question," Dave said, adjusting his glasses. "Briefly explain genetic determinism."
Nicole's hand shook as she quickly put her phone in her bag, then stood up and thought for a moment. "Genetic determinism posits that a child's psychological development is determined by innate, unchangeable genetics, independent of external influences and education. Even if external factors and education affect development, they can only promote or delay the expression of genetic traits without changing their essence. Sir Francis Galton, the father of genetic determinism, first applied evolutionary theory to psychological research."
"That's enough," Dave interrupted, frowning. "Pay attention in class and stop playing with your phone. Sit down."
"Yes, Mr. Dave," Nicole said, sticking out her tongue before sitting down and taking notes, looking like a diligent student. Dave shook his head, continuing his lecture.
Psychology was a prestigious field at the university, and Dave had an impressive resume. He had studied at a top domestic university and earned his Ph.D. in psychology from Stanford. The university had recruited him as a professor, where he taught various psychology courses and led national research projects.
Despite his professional success, Dave's personal life was lacking. He had become a full professor before thirty, making him a sought-after bachelor. Colleagues often set him up with potential partners, but most women were interested in his title, not him. With his expertise in psychology, he could easily see through their motives, leading to unsuccessful dates.
Several female students admired the young professor, including Nicole, who had once written him a love letter. But Dave never considered a relationship with a student, adhering strictly to university policies against teacher-student relationships.
As Dave looked at Nicole, who was gazing at him with admiration, he frowned, thinking of a tall, elegant woman he had met recently. Audrey, a high school English teacher, had left a deep impression on him. He had met her while handling some affairs in his hometown, and her grace and beauty stood out even among the university's many attractive students.
Since parting ways with Audrey at the station, Dave had thought of her constantly but lacked the courage to contact her. He regretted his hesitation, wondering if Audrey was still in Starhaven. If she returned to Starfall Town, he would lose his chance.
