4 YEARS LATER,
Astra's POV
My life wasn't supposed to be much worse. I was supposed to be the perfect runaway, finding a way out of this shithole pack and leading a comfortable life, but I guessed I didn't deserve anything good.
It was only a couple of months ago that my former boss sacked me for absolutely no reason ever since I began to work there. It was truly fun while it lasted.
Now, this was my new life. I was dancing for bloodthirsty werewolves for money and getting paid, but it wasn't enough since I was busy doing overtime and there was still nothing to show for it.
I got this job by accident, honestly and it just kind of happened. I was feeling adventurous one day and winded up here.
The lady that hired me was more than grateful to have me, since the former one decided to quit at the last minute out of nowhere. It wasn't such a bad job, it just wasn't worth it, considering that I had a child.
Things were beginning to fall apart days ago, when I picked up my child from the nanny, and she was sick. The nanny said she tried to reach me but she couldn't, and I was so enraged that she didn't even do anything up until that point. I rushed Olivia, my daughter to the hospital that same night.
It didn't take long for me to get to see a doctor, right after pouring all my frustration and anger on the nanny. Looking back, I should never have done that. I entered the doctor's office, cradling my sick three year old.
The doctor's face went pale, and immediately I sensed that something was wrong. It wasn't the normal kind of wrong.
Finding out my daughter had a health condition did nothing to calm my hurting heart. It skipped a couple of beats as I watched the doctor talk. She needed surgery, and fast, but I could barely afford a quarter of the money.
I was so heartbroken as I left the hospital after pleading with the doctor to at least save her. He didn't help me, but assured me that if I was able to look for the money for surgery within a week, she would be okay.
That same night, I took her back to her nanny. I had to apologize to her. The nanny was actually my next door neighbor that was heavily underpaid. I had no right, but she understood and was accommodating. When I told her the outcome, she panicked but still tried to get me to calm down.
That was a day ago, and now I'm stuck here, looking for a way to magically get a couple of thousand dollars before the week runs out.
I had already dressed up in my slutty outfit for the night. My boss gave the girls a room to change into and maybe supposedly bond, but they all hated my guts since the minute they saw me, maybe because they were jealous that the manager couldn't even hide how badly he wanted to get under my pants. It was highly inappropriate, but he didn't care.
After we all got dressed, we took our positions at the bar and danced at our various stations. A man picked me and I had to give him a lap dance. I hated every second of it and thank goodness, he gave me a huge tip.
After hours and hours of looking for money, we were done for the night and I immediately rushed to my manager because I had a new idea on how to get the money I needed. I was going to ask for a company loan or simply ask him for it.
Some of the girls had already retired back to our room to rest for the night, except a couple still busy doing whatever it was they were doing. I knew what I was getting myself into when I entered my manager's office, but I was the most desperate I had ever been. I wanted to even shed tears a
from the embarrassment.
Waltzing in, in my slutty outfit covered in a silky robe, I met his eyes instantly. He was busy shagging a girl but immediately he saw me, he pulled out of her and sent her away. He tucked his dick back in and asked me why I was there.
"Please, I need help." I said, being as direct as possible because there was no time to spare.
"Ahh, I see. You need help. What kind of help? Take a seat, sweetie." He replied, making a gesture.
I listened to him and sat down opposite him. After waiting for him to settle down, I began to narrate my ordeal to him.
"My daughter is sick. Please, I was wondering if I could borrow some money from the company then pay back."
"Oh. You need money. How urgent are we talking?"
"Right now. Please help me, what do I have to do?"
I asked, pleading.
"Well, there is something. I can help you myself. We don't have to touch the company's money. Just do what I want."
"Oh, and what might that be sir?"
He chuckled darkly, as if he was amused by my question.
"Don't act like you don't know. Don't act like you've not seen the way I stare at you. Don't act like you don't know how badly I want to touch and taste you. All you have to do is submit yourself to me, right here on this desk, and I'll do anything you want. Anything."
My head was spinning. I know I had already made up my mind to do this, but now that he had confirmed it, I didn't want to go through with it. No, I was scared.
That was it. I hadn't been touched for four years, and I still missed the person that made me exposed to sex and touching myself at night all these years. It was going to be hard to let another man touch me but now, I had to learn.
"Okay." I agreed peacefully. I wanted to get it over with. My daughter's life was in danger.
"Okay?" He blurted out, startled as though he expected me to agree.
"What?" I asked, countering his awe. He had nothing to say since he saw that I was dead serious. He simply nodded his head, and I didn't miss the smirk that played on his lips for like two seconds.
"Good and fine. Stand by the wall and wait for me."
I stood up and went to where he ordered me to stand. He watched me standing, then ordered me to remove my robe. I let it slip off me sensually, and I watched him groan as he walked up to me, pinning me to the wall.
He pressed his face in my neck and began to smell me, taking in my scent like I was healing him.
"Do you know how badly I've waited for this moment? I've wanted you so bad for the longest time and look at you now, so beautiful, letting me touch you. I promise to fuck you so hard I'll be the only dick you'll think about for the rest of your life."
Instead of getting turned on, I could only feel repulsed, telling myself to bear until it's over. I couldn't wait.
"Don't worry after this, I'll take care of your daughter's health, you don't have to worry." He said breathlessly.
Soon, he touched my thighs and drew invisible circles all over, promising me all the things he would do to me. It didn't take long for him to try to kiss me.
Just before our lips would touch, someone came in and dragged him off me, punching him with the ferociously that only a beast could have. It was so brutal that I thought my manager was going to die, so I overcame my shock and tried to stop the person.
I tried to reach out but the person demanded that I stop, speaking in a familiar voice that caused sweat from nowhere to cascade down my skin, all the way to my panties.
"Astra, don't move an inch. I'm not playing with you."
He even knew my name. Ignoring an almost lifeless body on the floor, he stood up and I only saw the anger on his face for a split second before he forcefully dragged me to the desk, making me sit down on it before coming in between my legs.
My step brother. My one night stand. The father of my child. He was right in front of me and boy, was he mad. His eyes would shoot daggers if they could, and I would be dead.
"Where the hell have you been, Astra?" He thundered, grabbing me by my neck as if he wanted to strangle me.
"I said, why did you leave me and run away? I'm asking you a fucking question so you better answer me,"
I could even if I wanted to. He was choking me.
"Let…let me talk please," I managed to beg, coughing when he finally released his grip on my neck. Staring at me angrily, I knew I had to start talking, but I still couldn't. The words couldn't form or come out, so it pissed him off.
He pushed himself further into me, grabbing my ass and trailing hot angry kisses down my throat. Ugh, I had missed this. It was too much. I was recoiling in severe euphoria, missing our contact the most, but it was getting hostile, and he bit my neck angrily.
"Talk. I won't demand an answer again."
