Sorry that it took so long to update! I promise I will be faster with the next chapter.
The nightclub was called Club Zero, it was located in Chelsea. It was supposed to be one of the hottest clubs of the moment. If you were cool, you were there. A lot of so called "rebelious" kids of rich and successful people came there to not give a fuck. That was probably the reason that Grey came here to do what she does best.
Alex had to survive the subway for 40 minutes before she finally arrived at the club. When she got to the door, she saw a huge line in front of it. If she had to wait in line to come in, she would never be inside on time.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Alex cursed as she made her way to the end of the line.
"Girl! Hey girl!" a very deep male voice shouted at her.
Alex looked up to see that a huge muscled man was the one shouting at her. She'd eat her hypothetical hat if that wasn't the bouncer of the club. Dressed all in black, including black sunglasses, he seemed to be born for his job.
"You Alex?" he asked her.
"Uhm.. yeah." she said with her eyebrows raised. "What's it to you?"
"You can go in." he said as he opened the door for her.
Alex didn't act surprised, but just casually walked towards the door. Alex grinned, while secretly enjoying all the resentful comments of the people in line.
"HEY, MY NAME IS ALEX TOO!" some extremely loud girl screamed.
"Oh my God, like we've been like waiting here for like an hour." another girl complained to her friend.
As Alex walked into the club, she was actually really surprised. The place was a whole lot bigger than it seemed on the outside. She was really impressed with how the place looked. It was rather dark, but if you looked closely at the ceiling the place looked like some sort of old train station. There were big industrial lamps hanging from the ceiling, though they weren't on at that moment. The whole club was lit with hundreds of colorful little lights. On the right was the bar, which was made entirely out of wood. On the left there was a lounge area where people sat that didn't feel like dancing. There was a DJ at the back of the club, the dance floor was, of course, in front of him.
Alex dropped her jacket off and went in. First thing she always did when she was at a club, was head for the bar. She spotted Grey before she even reached the bar. She was leaning against the bar very casually. She was standing really close to a girl and clearly telling a very interesting story. The girl was looking at her like she was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
Alex felt like her insides were on flames as her anger flared. She couldn't really put her finger on what she was feeling, because she never felt something like this before. Grey was smiling at the girl. It was the smile she used the first time she talked to Alex. Alex wanted to go to the girl and punch her on her stupid mouth. She had never been a violent person before. Sure, she had been in fights with her bullies when she was younger. Nothing like this ever happened.
She considered just walking away when Grey caught her eye. She quickly excused herself and came her way directly. She kept looking Alex in the eye the whole time, like there wasn't anything else that mattered. Alex's anger vanished like frost under the morning sun.
"Welcome to one of our workplaces!" Grey said with a huge smile.
Alex grinned and nodded approvingly. "I have to say: our office doesn't look half bad."
Grey laughed. "I haven't had a drink yet. I thought it would be fun to do my traditional shot of vodka together."
"A shot of vodka is always fun." Alex said with a twinkle.
They got themselves some vodka and headed to the lounge area. Alex sat down and was quietly admiring the place when she noticed that Grey was staring at her.
Grey raised her glass. "Here's to nights we cannot remember with people we cannot forget."
"Cheers to that." Alex said and she poured the vodka down her throat.
The vibe in the club was good. Everyone was having a good time and even the music wasn't that bad. It wasn't Alex's style, but it wasn't bad.
"The first rule in our line of business is: Don't use what you sell." Grey said. "If you use it, you won't be able to sell it."
Alex just looked at her and nodded quietly.
"You see, it's all about control." she continued. "If you lose control, you're done. From now on you don't only have to know what you are doing, but also what everybody that works for you is doing."
Alex thought about that for a minute. She had always been an organized person, but this was a big deal. She could already feel the pressure she was going to be in and frankly it scared her a little bit.
"That's why rule number one is so important." Grey said. "If you use the drugs, you will allow the drugs to control you. That cannot happen."
"We just did a shot of vodka and now you're talking about total control?" Alex asked jokingly.
"I don't know about you, lightweight, but I don't lose control over a shot of vodka." Grey said with a grin. "But it does loosen the tongue a little bit."
Alex smirked. "Please, like you need anything to loosen your tongue. That girl you talked to just now would go home with you in a second. Unless you're not loosening your tongue to talk, of course."
She wasn't going to say anything about the girl from before, but it just slipped out. Clearly, Grey noticed the slip up, because she started laughing in a certain way.
"You really don't have to worry about that girl, or any girl for that matter." Grey said to her.
Alex raised an eyebrow. "So, you never sleep with beautiful girls who really want you to?" she asked sarcastically.
Grey laughed. "Most of the girls I talk to on nights like these are indeed beautiful, but that's not why I talk to them." she said. "I know how harsh this must sound.. but they are all potential drug mules to me."
Alex frowned. On the one hand she was really relieved that the girls didn't mean anything to Grey, but on the other hand she was shocked that the girls really didn't mean anything to Grey. Like they were all just objects that could be used to make money.
Grey seemed to sense her uncertainty. She leaned towards Alex. "Besides, my bed was already reserved for tonight." she said with a devilish grin.
Immediately a shiver went down Alex's spine. Alex was at a total loss for words. She closed her eyes and tried to think and most of all: breathe. She wasn't even thinking in words anymore, but in colors and sounds. She cursed her brain for failing her when she needed it most.
"What makes you think that I'm that easy?" Alex managed to get out. Concentrating was very hard with Grey this close.
"I never said it would be easy." Grey said with a smirk. She leaned in closer and Alex felt Grey's lips brush her ear. "But you'll be begging me to take you home before the night is over." she whispered.
Alex felt a warmth spread down her body. She felt her temperature rise. She was almost certain that her glasses were fogged. The tension between them was so palpable that she could almost touch it. She was sure Grey could make her beg, for anything for that matter, but she wasn't going to give in that easily.
When Grey leaned back, Alex could see a cocky grin on her face.
Alex just looked at her. Taking in how good she looked in that moment. It was beautiful to see all the colors on her face and in her hair, caused by the lights in the club. The black t-shirt and gray skinnies she was wearing might as well have been a million dollar dress. Grey didn't need fancy clothing to look stunning.
She lingered when her eyes reached her lips. She wore a very bright red lipstick that looked ridiculously good on her. Alex just wanted to kiss those lips until there was lipstick everywhere..
Fuck.
"Anyway," Grey continued, like nothing had happened. "I'm certain you can be a pro when you get the hang of it."
Alex raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?" she said incredulously. "And why's that?"
"Because you attract women." Grey said, her eyes bright with excitement. "You are a women magnet."
"Now you're just overdoing it." Alex said while shaking her head.
She didn't hope all Grey's hopes and expectations were based on the fact that she was supposed to be some sort of womanizer. That wasn't something Alex could control. And Grey just told her it was all about control. Alex didn't know if she could live up to Grey's expectations.
"Alex." Grey said with a face that said: You have got to be kidding me?
"No, really Grey. I'm not that good." Alex said slightly panicked.
"You have no idea what you do to women." Grey said with a seductive grin.
A blush crept up Alex's cheeks. She wanted to look anywhere except for Grey at that moment. She played with her glasses, feeling slightly uncomfortable. When her eyes wandered off to Grey's, her eyes were practically beaming confidence into her own. Grey gave her a smile that told her that she could do anything. It was bizarre how she could influence Alex without really doing anything. Maybe that was Grey's special power.
Grey stood up and offered her hand to Alex. She took it and let Grey lead her to wherever she wanted to take Alex.
Grey took her to the edge of the dance floor. The next hour she would tell Alex everything she needed to know to make tonight work. There were very easy ways to spot the perfect mules. Alex didn't see it at first, but as Grey continued to explain she began to see what she was talking about. The only things you needed to successfully do this, was a pretty good skill at reading people and a hell of a lot of charm.
After analyzing some people in the club together, Grey told her she was ready to give it a try. Grey watched her closely from the edge, while Alex walked towards one particular girl she thought fit the mule description perfectly.
The girl was standing on the other edge of the dance floor. Alex guessed she was around 21 years old, fresh out of college and looking for fun and adventure. The girl wasn't the prettiest girl in the world, but with her red hair and her high cheekbones she was definitely worth looking at. She smiled shyly at Alex when she caught Alex's eyes. This is going to be rather easy, Alex thought to herself with a smirk.
She chatted the girl up and Alex found herself enjoying the role she could play when she did her job. She listened to the girl, whose name was Tara, rant about her parents that were smothering her with plans for her future. With every word Alex said, Tara became more and more entangled in Alex's web. Alex was giving Tara the attention she so desperately longed for and the girl was like putty in her hands.
Tara was trying to find her own way in this world and she was hopelessly searching for a way to be independent of her parents. Alex couldn't have asked for a better opportunity than this. She offered Tara a job that would pay extremely well and that would take her all over the world. She offered her a life full of adventure. A life where you would just seize the day and you didn't worry about the future. She gave the girl her number and told her to think about it, though she was sure Tara would most definitely take the job. If she wasn't in it for the money or the freedom, she would be in it for Alex.
When Alex walked back, she was walking with a lot more confidence than before. She felt taller and more attractive than ever before. When she reached Grey, she was smiling an enormous I-told-you-so smile.
"That was fucking exhilarating." Alex breathed out. She could barely control her enthusiasm.
"You did extremely well, Alex." Grey told her. "It seems like you were made to do this."
"It sure as hell feels that way." Alex couldn't even begin to explain what she felt. She had never had anything she was really good at. But this.. she was pretty fucking good at this.
"Our goal tonight is to reach as many potential drug mules as we can." Grey said. "Let's split up. The sooner we get this done, the better." she added with a smirk.
They both took another shot of vodka and went their own way. They never lost sight of each other, even when the other was on the other side of the club.
Alex found herself glancing at Grey every now and then. She was met by Grey's intense stare every time. It was the sexiest stare she had ever seen. She swore those green eyes could look into her very soul.
Talking to those girls and getting what she wanted, was giving Alex an enormous feeling of control. She felt in charge. She felt alive. And it was quite the turn on to see Grey play her own girls the way she did. Every time she looked at Grey she could feel her self control slip away from her a little bit more.
Grey winked at Alex to follow her as she walked to the back of the club. They were both standing across from each other in a long and quiet hallway in the back. Clearly, Grey and the business had a good relationship with the owners of the club.
Grey told her that they had recruited about 10 new drug mules. That would speed up business immensely, she said.
"It seems we make quite the team, kid." Alex said with a huge smile.
Grey was leaning against the wall. She looked at Alex with a smirk on her face.
"Fahri is going to be very fucking pleased with us, Alex." she said with a twinkle in her eyes. She chuckled. "If we continue like this, we could be running the fucking business by the end of the month."
It was quiet for a while. They just stared at each other. Alex was sure that Grey felt the tension between them as well.
Suddenly, Grey walked towards Alex. She was standing as close as possible now. Alex couldn't control herself any longer. Just as she was about to let lust take over, Grey took her wrists and pinned her against the wall. She pushed her body against Alex's, causing Alex to gasp for breath. Alex could feel Grey's breath on her lips. She closed her eyes to take in Grey's scent and the smell of her breath. All her senses were screaming that surely she must be in paradise, because everything was just fucking perfect.
Alex opened her eyes and saw green ones staring so intensely into hers that she shivered. Grey placed a soft kiss on a particular sensitive spot on Alex's neck. Alex gasped and her eyes rolled back a little when Grey continued to kiss her neck. Everything she touched felt like it was on fire. The good kind of fire, of course.
Grey moved her lips softly up Alex's jaw. And right when she reached her lips, she stopped. They were both breathing heavily. They were so close that they were practically breathing in each other. Grey looked into her eyes and Alex could see everything she wanted so badly reflected in them.
When their lips touched, it felt like the whole world around them disappeared. Alex felt dizzy and disoriented, but so fucking good at the same time. Grey's full lips fit perfect onto hers. As she felt her tongue collide with Grey's, she couldn't help but moan. Things were heating up real fast and Alex tried to wiggle herself loose of Grey's grip. But she strengthened her grip on Alex's wrists.
"Grey.." Alex moaned. "Please, let me.. Just.."
"Say it." Grey breathed out, her eyes filled with need.
Alex brought her lips to Grey's ear. "Please, take me home with you." she whispered in her low husky voice.
Grey let go of her wrists. She kissed Alex passionately while running her hands through her dark hair. Alex took this opportunity to let her hands explore Grey's body. Out of nowhere, Grey broke the kiss. They both needed to catch their breaths.
"Your wish is my command, m'lady." Grey said with a huge smirk.
She took Alex's hand and led her straight to the door.
