Okay, so this isn't my normal stuff, but I got the idea from one of my favorite stories/authors: Everything She Didn't Know She Wanted by bluecurls.


~Prologue~

Anna Shepard walked to her car, enjoying the fresh air after being in the club all night. Her beat up silver Stratus was a welcome sight.

She was ready to do home. However, she wasn't quite ready to sleep.

It was after one thirty in the morning and she was still a bit wired. The money had been beyond great that night, nearly a grand in tips stuffed in her purse.

Even without the tips, she had a nice chunk of change when she left Raven's Wing Strip Bar.

It was also her last night at the club, Rick had terminated her, but agreed to let her finish the night as a courtesy. He didn't want to fire her, but they didn't have the income to keep her on anymore. It made sense, the bar was losing business, no new customers were coming in. She understood, but didn't like it.

She sighed when she stripped, no pun intended, her clothes off and slipped into a short silk night dress.

Her phone rang as soon as she snuggled into her couch to watch a movie marathon to wind down.

She groaned and stretched to reach it over the arm of the couch. It was an unknown number. "Hello?"

"Ms. Shepard, this is Tony Stark, you know Iron Man. I have a job opportunity for you that no other woman has. Your pay will be triple what you're making at the bar. Are you willing to hear more?" A male voice, smug and arrogant met her ears. He practically preened when he said the first sentence.

"You have my attention." She replied, rolling his eyes at his attitude, but intrigued. "Continue."
