Chapter 23

“Piper? Are you fine?”

A man’s voice echoed across the room. I rubbed my eyes and sat up in the bathtub. It had been three weeks since seeing Syl after the harrowing encounter back in the Darkside, as Kaiser named it. 

We were in Kaiser’s hotel room after a long day of member ‘solicitation’. Fortunately, after the incident, I was lucky not to run into Syl again. That flabbergasted look on his face and how he ran after me just made me worried that he would find out that I had returned and was involved in this trade. If not that I had changed my number to the sim provided by Griselda, he would probably have attempted to contact me.

On the day I formally started work with Kaiser, he had even bought me a phone when I showed him that the operating system of my phone didn’t support the latest version that was required to run the membership application. I presumed that Kaiser had the phone heavily tracked as well. 

For weeks, on and off, we had each other’s companionship. I was now growing used to his  

“Piper?”

I leaned against the back of the tub and responded.

“I fell asleep, Kaiser.”

He didn’t probe further, but just continued lying in bed watching the news. He had no concern about my life, just the number of members I brought in for KK Sols. The joining took place using the app on my phone where the member had to scan a QR code and download the app. 

Inside the app, I believed Kaiser had specifically programmed it to steal data, while getting the client to perform certain tasks. It seemed to bring in money to Jasper and other clients, but was a fraud by Kaiser. It was his pyramid scheme for Jasper to bring in more people that made it seem a money-making opportunity to the unsuspecting Jasper himself. My role was to ‘recruit’ while distracting them with my body. 

To enhance the deception further, Griselda taught me the art of seduction. I knew she was likely jealous that Kaiser was spending more time with me than her, and had even invested by sending me for beauty sessions and body shaping packages. These were beauty institutions that he had shady dealings with, since they operated in the Darkside. Kaiser also had ‘special treatment’ in the beauty centre.

As Jasper was now the Super VIP member of KK Sols, Kaiser had assigned the innocent new recruits to appease him. Unlike Griselda, he was the type who kept his feelings to himself and acted cold on the surface, giving me no means to guess what was on his mind. With Syl’s appearance disturbing my mind, I wasn’t bothered whether or not he had developed an interest in me. I had more things to worry about.

“Come and join me in bed, Piper,” he beckoned. I pulled the plug at the bottom of the tub and drained the water, looking down at my naked body as the bubbles dissipated. I had lost only a bit of weight since returning to the city, but yet at times, I had trouble believing this was really me.

In just a few years, I had transformed to an utterly distinct person. I used to be sweet and lovely, as Syl described, but I was now, villainous and cruel. I no longer felt any emotions towards Sherry or Anderson. I felt desires and goals, although that single word I wanted most in my life dominated me. After almost a month in the city, I felt far from Jacques. Our little ‘love life’ in Bangkok was just a pipe dream.

I obliged Kaiser’s request and lay next to him, pulling up the blanket. It was a cold day and I was glad that I did not need to render any services today. Sometimes, the clients would forcibly enter me without any lubrication, and it left me feeling sore down below from being rubbed raw. I was most uncomfortable with skinny clients, because their hard hip bones would poke into my sides painfully.

But sex with my boss was the most fulfilling. We probably shared the same interest in sensual pleasure, and I never lost the thrill of sleeping with Kaiser. While with Jacques, it hadn’t happened more than a few times. He was often tired from his graveyard shifts and after my abduction for the last time, he didn’t want to trigger my discomfort. Until I left finally, nothing happened between us.

“Mmm.” I let out a muffled sound as I felt Kaiser sneak under the covers and bite on the bow of my robe in a bid to open it. His robust tongue swarmed my opening, teasing my lower lips. I squirmed.

“Ah, Kaiser!” I mumbled as he massaged me with his mouth, tickling me with the tip of his tongue. With the heat inside me, he was guiding me to erupt any moment now. “Please, Kaiser!”

I wanted it so badly that he was driving me insane. His tongue played around my cave. I felt myself getting wetter each second. I released a moan, trembling as my need pulsated intensely in my abdomen.

“Ah, friggin hells, Kaiser! F*ck me now!” 

I was never one to use vulgarities before, even when I became Lenard Lee’s prisoner. But now, every bit of me was aching terribly for my boss to hump me. I needed him to do it to me wildly and savagely so he could conquer my mind with his excellent sex moves. This was the release I sought from thinking about my run-in with Syl.

“Not so easy, Piper.”

He stopped and waded out of the blanket. Taking off his bathrobe, he returned to the bed and signalled for me to climb on top of him. “It’s your turn to take the lead, Piper.” 

I bit my lip nervously, knowing what he intended for me to do. I mounted him slowly and guided him inside me, riding him swiftly. He made a few grunts of pleasure, making me nervous. While I allowed men to have their way with me, I had never taken the initiative to be in control. Not even with Syl.   

I never knew I had this in me. Kaiser praised me, flipping me over to take me from behind. I closed my eyes and sensed his warm hands grabbing my breasts as he slid in and out of my wetness. I was in heaven.

“Piper, can I ask you one thing?” he whispered as I lay in his arms. He had dimmed the lighting of the hotel room and illuminated it with some candles to create a sweet ambience between us. 

“Yes, Kaiser?”

“Don’t allow any of your clients to do this with you. Only me.”

“Do what?”

I had just asked when he climbed over me and pasted a deep and passionate kiss over my lips. He held my hands over my head, kissing me downwards until he reached my belly. He didn’t stop there, leaving a trail of his kisses down my opening up to my sensitive thighs.

“Ah, Kaiser…” I let out a soft moan. Even Jacques had never done this with me. It felt special, as if we were lovers. 

“Never ever let a client touch or kiss you like this,” he reiterated in a warning tone. “I say this one last time.”

“Yes.” I succumbed to the pleasure. He parted my thighs and entered me slowly, fingering my G-spot while stroking my core with his organ. I felt his shaft hit the wall of my cavity, filling me to my maximum. The feeling was profound.

It was an intense yet numbing feeling that I had yet to experience in my sexual life. I stifled my cries of pain and tried to moan sensually. Kaiser noticed this and slowly took his thing out.

“It hurts you, right, Piper?”

“I’m fine,” I insisted. I wanted him to go on, despite the discomfort it was leading to.

“No woman has ever been able to withstand my length, Piper.” He stated it like I had just won the Nobel Prize. “In fact, my length has scared away many women during my youth.”

I spread my legs and guided him inside me once more. “It’s okay, Kaiser. I like it.”

“Do you like me, Piper?”

I was dumbfounded by his question. The relationship between us was just that of an employer and employee. I had sex with him frequently but only to fuel my sexual need and desire for revenge. I allowed him to do whatever he wanted with me, but only because I wanted to use him for revenge.

“I… I do.

“Then, will you accept my proposal?” He asked with his eyes on me. 

“What proposal is this?” I asked. 

“Be my clandestine lover.”

“What’s the difference between that and our relationship now?” I pulled him more tightly against me, coaxing him to continue the intercourse.

“You get to have me.” He kissed me suddenly on the lips, making me tremble. “And I get to have you.”
