chapter 1

Jason entered Torment, a bar he owned with his friend and business partner. Sonny thought buying the old rundown bar and turn it into a strip club would be a good idea, as it was very profitable and less dangerous than their other businesses. His partner had thought it could be a place for themselves and their men to relax and unwind after a busy day on the docks or a place to break away from their other stressful responsibilities and worries. Jason didn't mind it at all, in fact he could come and go with out the headaches of running the joint since they both agreed Sonny's son, Dante could handle the day to day issues and become their trustworthy manager.

It wasn't just some lower class strip club either, it was a classy place where the women could actually dance and perform routines that were fun and very entertaining without being naked. They performed without being trashy or sleazy and took their jobs seriously and in turn the security guards would make sure the women were safe and respected. They didn't hire just any woman, they had standards and Dante had rules to stick by. They didn't want any drug addicts, prostitutes or anyone looking for the quick buck and big tips. It quickly became a very popular hang out and after only six months of trading Jason already saw big profits on a weekly basis.

Jason didn't mind owning Torment at all, in fact he loved it. All Jason had to do was sit back and watch the show. And, he didn't mind letting off some steam and frustration every now and then either with whichever dancer was willing and able when he wanted. His life so far was going to plan, even though he just happened to fall into this kind of life style, he took what was dealt to him. He has been living a dangerous and hectic life for the last few years and has accepted it and settled for what he had. He settled for the single life with no other commitment but his job, he was safer this way and so was the woman who would have stood beside him and stayed with him through these difficult and dangerous times.

Jason walked along the bar to grab his waiting beer bottle from the waitress and make his trek to his usual table to meet his friends. Along the way he glanced up on stage to see one of the dancers doing her routine, he acknowledges her with a slight nod making her smile wider and keeps watch as Jason takes a seat next to Dante who was sitting with Johnny, Max and Milo who all greet him and welcome him back as he takes his place.

Johnny adds with a chuckle, "Sam will keep her eyes on you all night now" tilting his head towards the stage indicating who he was talking about.

Jason replies with a shrug and taking a sip of beer, "Where's Sonny?" he questions loudly over the music

Dante answers while the others were watching the end of Sam's routine, "He's on his way" Jason nodding okay, Dante leaned over to ask, "How was the trip?"

"All went off without a hitch" taking another sip from his bottle Jason saw that Sam had disappeared from stage.

He knew she was probably on her way over to see him. He had been gone for two weeks and every time he comes back from a trip she comes around like a dog on heat. He doesn't care either way though, she knows the rules, his rules, as does everyone else. It's only on if he says it's on and although he did find some fun on his trip he wouldn't mind some tonight but not right now. He wanted to relax & catch up with his friends & business.

Jason heard music that wasn't in any of the usual routines and looks over to Dante, "AC/DC?"

"Yeh, my favorite song too. Back in Black" he continues as the music introduction plays, "New girl, been here two weeks. Huge success man, very popular with the regulars"

Jason turns just in time to see the woman appear on stage wearing all black leather with matching knee high boots. Fuck me boots, Jason thought to himself, sexy fuck me boots. As his eyes roamed up her uncovered sexy toned thighs to a mini skirt, he swore and took a quick glance around the table to see if anyone heard him but not to his surprise the guys all had their eyes glued to the stage. Jason quickly went back to drooling while he roamed the petite body in front of him, his eyes drifting up to the scrap of leather material that some might call a bikini top. Jason groaned, he fucking groaned aloud, then silently thanked the lord for the loud music. His eyes caught a glimpse of her long brown hair that was topped with a black leather cap. He held his breath waiting for the sexy piece of ass on stage to lift her head so he could see her face and at the same time he was praying she was ugly.

"Please, please be ugly" he prayed silently to all Gods, deities, his grandmother, God rest her soul, his great aunt, his great grandfather anyone who would listen, he prayed to. He didn't need another woman to add to the hassles he had with the other women here and being ugly would defenitely help the issue.

Jason could hear his name being called as he was devouring the brunette beauty on stage but he couldn't turn away just yet. He had to see her face, "JASON!" he heard the yell

"Fuck! What?" he growled as he turned to find Sam by his side

Her sad face and pouty lips did nothing but aggravate him more as she spoke, "I want to welcome you home" running her hand up his arm, "...Properly" she added

Yanking his arm out of her grasp he responds turning back to the stage, "I'm busy" Jason saw that the woman on stage now had her back to him making him more pissed that the wait was getting too long now, "Shit" he mumbles while noticing Sam still standing there he turns back to her, "Later"

Sam smiled and says, "Good, come find me when your ready to leave"

He replies seeing she seemed satisfied, "Yeh, okay" he was relieved Sam turned away and left

Jason happily went back to perving at the new woman on stage. Just as she turned her head he caught a glimpse of the dancer making his smile to turn to a frown. His blood boiling over in a matter of seconds. His grip on his beer bottle was so tight he thought it cracked under his palm. He glanced around the table at his friends who were practically undressing her with their eyes and as he looked around the crowded establishment realized every other man was doing the same thing.

"Fuck this", Jason thought. "This shit needs to end, and now" He stood abruptly sending his chair flying backwards into the wall, the table rocked side to side like there was an earth quake happening causing bottles and glasses to tumble spilling over the occupants of said table. His friends sat in shock and didn't do anything but watch the scene unfold as Jason pushed and shoved his way to the stage and grabbing hold of the dancer's arm. Which then made her panic and let out a scream thinking someone was attacking her, that was until she saw the fiery anger practically burning her through familiar eyes.

Everything happened at once, the music stopped. Sonny walked in. Dante, Max, Johnny & Milo all stood with guns drawn to get in place for what, they didn't know. Jason grabbed his gun with his free hand and raised it while everyone, employees, friends and patrons all stood in shock wondering what the fuck was going on while Jason yelled out, "EVERYBODY OUT" firing two shots into the ceiling.
