September 1981

BPOV

I was nervous tonight was my first night on the stage I had paid my dues waitressing and practiced my routine day and night, now I was finally going to get the opportunity to dance on stage and make the big bucks.

The Golden Flamingo was one of Las Vegas's most sought after strip joints it was everything I had worked towards the past couple of months.

This was my moment I had gotten out of that rat trap city and leaving behind the only boy I had ever thought I loved and a mother who wasn't worthy of the title.

I was done scared I was going to make it here even if I died trying.

I was tired bone weary I don't know why Jasper insisted we come to this place, he kept droning on and on about how I don't hang out these days and how I'm all about business, I fucking hated when he whined, not like I didn't get enough of that from Tatiana's crazy ass she was lucky she had a mouth like a hoover or she would find herself on the first thing smoking back to the USSR.

She was more trouble than she was worth but she was convenient and pretty to look at and in my line of business discretion and loyalty counted for something, she was a bitch but she was loyal.

I sighed as I we breezed through the VIP rope and an army of sycophants who thought that getting close to the handsome Masenelli brothers would grant them access to the highest circles in Las Vegas

I slid into the VIP booth next to Jasper who could barely control his excitement, signaling for the waitress and making eyes at ever pretty girl that walked passed feeding of the buzz of the people around us.

As the light dimmed and the music started playing, I kept my eyes on the stage, I was in no mood to entertain the exotic array of girls who roamed the around the strip club sniffing out the highest bidders from the way they surrounded Jasper and I.

I lit a cigar and reclined back into the plush couch making a decision to relax and enjoy the show.

The curtains came up and the spotlight landed on the most exquisite looking, I heard Jasper's low whistle as her beautiful dark eyes scanned the audience shyly before her face fell into a mask of indifference laced with seduction I leant forward to study her more closely. I made my decision I Edward Masenelli will have that girl before the end of the night. As her show came to a close I signaled to one of the security and told them to bring her

BPOV

The adrenaline rush I felt from being on stage continued to soar through me as I felt desirable and powerful and the money I made tonight would cover this months rent and allow me to breath easy for a while. As I changed out of my costume into another I heard my name being called I looked up and found one of the security guards a guy named Tyler signaling to me when I reached him he told me I should go get dolled up I was requested in VIP. I was excited the money I would make in VIP in one day could be triple what I mad on stage and I could tell the other girls knew it too I could feel the hot gaze of Jessica and Lauren on my back as I finished my make, jealous whores even after all their backroom activity they still hadn't had their time of stage and were still floor sluts fucking customers for some extra bucks, now that will never be me I was going places and they knew it too.

I finished touching up my lipstick and smirked at them and followed Tyler through the floor and up the stairs and into VIP I was escorted to a booth where towards two guys, who seemed to command the attention of the room.

As I drew closer I noticed one of them staring at me so intently it made me hot all over I couldn't describe the feeling it was like I was on fire and soon Tyler was shuffling me firmly into this mysterious mans line of vision, he signaled Tyler to step forward and slipped him bill before dismissing him.

He then turned his hot gaze back at me, I gasped he had the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen I felt the indescribable need to consume him I just wanted him anyway I could get him, the raw lust that radiated of him went straight to my core and I could feel the warmth pooling already.

"I'm Jasper" the other guy said extending his hand "this is my brother Edward why don't you have a seat"

Snapped out of my trance, I sat down in the booth trying not to make eye contact with the man I now knew as Edward he looks at me intently then leans in

"What's your name?"

"Is-Isabella" I stammer nervous underneath his probing gaze

"You ready to leave Isabella?" he ask staring straight into my eyes as if he was confident of my acquiescence

I nodded yes and he said "lets go then"

"What about my stuff" I asked

"Doesn't matter" he said in a tone that said it wasn't up for discussion, reaching for my hand he pulled me up nodding to Jasper who was to busy with some of the girls simply waving his brother away as he dragged me through the club and out the back door.

I didn't need to think, or wonder where we were going I knew then and there I would follow this man anywhere, he had owned me the moment he set eyes on me and I didn't even care, I was falling with this man and I it felt amazing
