Valentina's POV

What was happening with the women of this world? Were they all going crazy? Only that explained the enormous mess that my day had been. How could things turn upside down in such a short time? Obviously I had a good amount of blame in the situation, but maybe I had forgotten the consequences that it could cause. 

After Karla's rejection I was returning to the loneliness of my apartment. Arriving there I threw my shoes in a corner of the living room, and lay down on the soft couch, taking a deep breath trying to calm my brain that processed too many information in a short span of time.

I was trying to understand the reason for Karla rejecting me. I didn't remember anything that I could've done to cause such anger in the woman. Had she seen me with someone? Had she seen me with Luiza? No, no. Very unlikely, Luiza and I had only gotten close recently, but the bonds had already been cut in the harshest and rudest way possible, all my fault. I regretted that, the last person that deserved to be treated like that was her. A feeling of regret took over me that instant, and remembering all the moments in which she had made me feel better and happy only increased the guilt I was feeling.

I closed my eyes recreating in my mind all the moments that had been marked in me:

- Is everything okay? 

- Yes, I was just thinking. 

- Can I know about what? - I asked getting closer to her. 

Luiza stared at me calmly to then speak. 

- About how this here is being good. 

Her eyes seemed to express those words in such a sincere way. 

- I'm going to tell you a secret. - I whispered to her as I got even closer. 

- I am also loving this here. - I whispered in my ear, noticing that her entire body shivered. She lowered her head and smiled. 

- Do you mind if I lay my head on your lap? I don't want to seem abused, but since I am... 

- There's no problem, you can lie down. 

Luiza spoke serenely. I put some things aside, and lay down on her lap. 

- Vero is going to kill me, I'm lying on the lap of her conquest. Or Austin, right? 

- I don't have anything with either of them. 

- Great then. I don't want to get into arguments with anyone because of jealousy from one of your suitors, Miss Campos. 

[.....] 

- I like you, Luiza. - I said in the most sincere way I could. The young woman stayed calm, just analyzing my words. 

- Perhaps in years, you are the only woman that I met who makes me feel so at ease, you know? And in just a little time. I know we have a working relationship, but I don't regret at all having brought you to spend this weekend with me, or to have let you meet a little bit of my life, that I guarantee only a few people know. 

- I don't even know what to say, Valentina... only that I am loving being here with you, and that surely you took me from a depressing weekend. - She smiled shyly - And that I feel good with you, I like your friendship. 

Friendship, was that what I felt for her? It was inexplicable how Luiza could improve my day so easily. I didn't have how to explain the huge amount of trust that she transmitted me. Her eyes conveyed me good things, pleasurable sensations that I had already forgotten. I stared at that woman for long seconds, admiring the beauty that only she could have. Until I felt a raindrop fall on my face. 

- Did you feel this? - I asked suspiciously. 

- What? 

Her voice tone was confused. 

- This! - I said when I felt another raindrop. 

She smiled, probably thinking I was crazy. But soon she realized what I was talking about. 

- Wait... Are you talking about...? 

She didn't even had time to finish the sentence when the sudden storm started. 

- Oh God! Valentina! - Luiza shouted standing up. 

No. No, Valentina! 

I opened my eyes trying to dissolve the memories of that weekend. There was no point in crying over spilled milk, as they said around. Now it was time to move on, and try at least to make the woman stop hating me.

I got up from the couch, dragging myself to the bathroom. A hot bath would solve my pure tension for a few moments. I stayed soaking in the tub for half an hour, and yet, those women disturbed my thoughts. In these moments I wondered if straight girls were so disturbed by their husbands. Or maybe women were more complicated. 

Two things were stopping me from relaxing. 

The first: The reason why Karla had snubbed me. 

Second: What had happened at lunch between Vero and Luiza.

I didn't like the idea of them together. Vero has always been a predator, and to think about the possibility of her having Luiza at the mercy of her desires caused me a nuisance that I couldn't explain. I could very well ask Iglesias as who didn't want anything, drag some answers out of her without the woman even realizing it. But even if I had the answers, what could I do? Absolutely nothing. 

My world was turned inside out by two women with whom I had absolutely nothing with. It was too much for me, I was no longer the reckless teenager from years ago, the situation would have to be resolved. 

I decided not to care, Vero was the key for me to back away in a personal way from Miss Campos. But about Karla, I would still find out, that situation wouldn't stay like this. 

Luiza's POV

I entered my house slowly as to not make any noise, at this hour both Dinah and Ally were sleeping. Which was expected since it was past midnight. I took my high heels off my feet, throwing them in a corner of the living room, to then go in the direction of the bathroom where I would take a nice and warm bath. After this exhausting day it was all that I needed, a hot bath and a good night's sleep. 

When I left the bathroom I dressed light clothing and threw myself on the bed, still thinking about how I had gotten some payback on Valentina. Vengeance was too good to only be slightly appreciated. I could see in those green eyes the hate for the teasing I made. Her serious countenance, made it noticeable for kilometers just how angry she was to see me dance for the boy on stage. Poor guy, I didn't even care about him, if he knew that he didn't cause in me not even a shiver, I bet he would never return there. The only goal of everything was to provoke in Valentina the pure jealousy that she deserved to feel. It wasn't a secret that despite everything my will was to throw myself in her arms and spend the whole night being satiated by Valentina's desires. But my ego was too hurt, I needed to teach the almighty that there I had control of everything, and not her. And I guarantee that her expression when she heard the sentence that I had planned all day was priceless: 

- I want to talk to you now! 

Valentina spoke furiously at the bottom of the stairs. 

- Thank you, Marina, you can leave. - I spoke calmly to one of the newbie dancers who just followed my orders. 

The young woman smiled and left quickly. 

- What was that? - She asked serious. 

- What was what? 

- That damn performance, that guy! And you are prohibiting me to see you. 

I smiled sarcastically as I saw her exasperation. I had the urge to slap her due to the anger she made me feel during the day, but at the same time I also wanted to kiss her lips in pure desire of seeing her so bossy. 

- I don't see a reason for you to get exalted. I'm just doing what I always do. - I shrugged indifferently. 

- Karla, what's the problem? You can't do this to me. 

Valentina approached me, holding my arm with certain strength. Making my body clash with hers. I fought to have enough strength to back away from her and tell her what was stuck in my throat. 

- Don't think that something has changed after what happened. If you want to see me, get in line, everyone here wants the same but no one can get it. 

- You have got to be kidding me. 

- You have to understand that I am NOT yours. Don't expect to get here and have me every night, Albuquerque, because you are very much mistaken. Now get out, I'm not seeing anyone. 

I spoke arrogantly, trying to express all my superior air, I wanted payback for the way she treated me earlier. 

- Karla? 

Valentina shouted angrily, but I didn't even bother to answer her. I would teach that woman the right way to behave.

The spell had turned against the sorceress. 

It was obvious that I was sad, way sadder than I really should be. The rude and harsh words coming from that woman marked me in a way that I had never thought to be possible. Valentina had been drawn in my mind as the perfect woman she was this weekend, I knew of her flaws, but they had never been used on me. In the moment when I received her arrogant orders, a part of my admiration was gone, and a huge confusion was formed. What was the reason for her to treat me in such a way?

I didn't know... 

I didn't understand... 

I accommodate myself in bed, trying to relax and sleep. But the entire time that pair of green eyes materialized in front of me. I liked Valentina, unfortunately I liked her. She wasn't the right person for me, living on a tightrope that divided my life between Karla and Luiza was dangerous. Maybe her attitude has been the key for me to get rid of a future problem. There were so many beautiful and attractive women around, Veronica Iglesias was one of them. Today she had invited me to a pleasant lunch, which I confess to have done me very good: 

- I liked our lunch, Miss Campos. - The woman said with a smile.

 - I also liked to have lunch with you. 

- We can set it up more times, what do you think? 

- I don't know, it's fine by me. 

- It will be a pleasure, take my card. You can call me anytime you need company, ok? I may seem a little crazy but I have my sane moments. 

I smiled at Vero who held my hand tenderly. 

- Don't say that, you were my best company today, thank you. 

- No need to thank me, and about everything you told me, don't worry, these family problems are always happening. I'll help you with it, and I'll keep everything in absolute secret. 

- You are being incredible! 

- Specialties of the Iglesias blood, Miss. - She said laughing, causing me to laugh as well, which by the way was all that I needed.

My life was turned upside down, and I didn't know anything anymore. I decided to try to sleep, asking God that at least in my dreams Valentina would leave me alone.

Valentina's POV 

Today I was in a better mood, after the awful day yesterday, I woke up confident that things could get better. I was inwardly begging for Luiza to be calmer, and surely she would. Miss Campos was too sweet to treat me coldly. At least I hoped so. 

I got out of the elevator in slow steps, noticing that some employees hadn't yet arrived. And one of them was Miss Campos. In the same instant I wondered if she wouldn't come anymore, no, she wouldn't do that, the woman was totally professional.

I went to my office, her work hours haven't started yet so I decided to wait. At exactly 8AM the woman exited the elevator, making me smile. She wouldn't leave me hanging.

"Thank you, Luiza!" - I spoke to myself.

The brunette approached her desk, putting her things and her bag on top of it. She was beautiful as always, however today much more casual. She wore a pair of jeans with a moss green silk blouse and a white feminine blazer. Her hair was in a very well made bun, with some strands of hair loose, probably due to rushing as to not arrive late. And in her face the small and delicate reading glasses. 

The woman grabbed her notebook and walked towards my office. I could feel her lightly sweet perfume fill the atmosphere.

- Good Morning, Miss Albuquerque. 

- Good Morning, Miss Campos, how are you? 

- I'm fine, thank you. - She said serious. 

Negative point. Luiza always smiled at me when she arrived. 

- Are you sure? 

- Yes, ma'am. Do you need anything? 

- Yes, have a seat, we have to talk. 

- Is it something related to my work? 

- Not exactly. 

- Then I don't see a reason for it. - The woman spoke firmly. 

- Luiza... 

- It's Miss Campos, I want to be called like this. 

I stood up from my chair, walking towards the woman who didn't say anything else. 

- Ok, Miss Campos, I want to apologize for being an idiot with you, I shouldn't have treated you like that.

I tried to transmit the maximum sincerity in those words. Luiza stared at me, letting out a small puff.

- You don't have to apologize. You are absolutely right, we have a relationship based on work, and like that it will have to continue.

- As you wish. But well, I also called you here for another reason. 

- You can speak.

- I want you to get the number of Mr. Barcelos. He's a great lawyer, I believe he's the best to take care of your sister's case and win.

Luiza instantly stopped writing down the information on her notebook, and stared at me confused. 

- What? 

- That's right, tell him I want to see him today. We'll all have lunch so you can explain him the situation with your sister and your parents. I promised that I would help you, remember?

She really didn't seem to believe in my words. 

- Valentina... - My first name, things were better - Thank you so much but you don't need to. I talked to Vero and she said she can take care of the case. 

No, I didn't believe that I was hearing that. Iglesias would take care of something that I promised to fix. Were they that intimate already? This really was not good. 

- Luiza, I promised you that I would help you. 

- I know, I remember. And I appreciate it but Veronica is a lawyer and she said she could do it for me. I don't want you to bother with something that has nothing to do with your life. 

- Don't be foolish, I want you to win this. Vero is specialized in labor issues, and Mr. Barcelos is specialized in family issues. And I assure you that I never saw him lose a case. 

I could feel how much that proposal made her rethink things. I couldn't tell if it was anger that I felt, I didn't want Vero taking care of something that I committed myself to help, I didn't want Luiza to be grateful to her when she could be to me. Selfish, I know, but it was involuntary. I couldn't tell what that was, but I didn't like it. 

- I don't know... - She said confused, sitting down. 

- Lu... - I approached her, using the same nickname I had given her over the weekend - Let me help you.

Luiza stared at me, leaving our gazes locked for longer than they should. And in a swift move the woman got up when someone entered my office.

- Hello, girls! - Veronica spoke walking in.

I rolled my eyes and walked away. 

- Good Morning, Miss Iglesias. - Luiza said smiling at her. C'mon, really? It were a thousand smiles now?

- Good Morning, Lulu! Good Morning, Valen.

- Good Morning. - I said serious.

- Well, I'll return to my desk. If you need something just call me.

Luiza said heading towards the door. 

- I want to have a private talk with you later. - Vero said smiling, and then Luiza left.

- What's going on?

She stared at me confused. 

- Between you and Miss Campos.

- We are getting to know each other, Valen. God, she's wonderful, you know? 

"Yes, I know that very well." - I thought. 

- Oh, really? 

- Of course! She's a sensitive, caring and very attractive woman. Maybe with her I'll forget Lucy. 

It was too uncomfortable to have to hear those things, I couldn't believe that Veronica Iglesias was so into someone like that. And above all, with my, MY secretary. 

- Do you have feelings for her?

- Not yet, as I told you, we are getting to know each other. Who knows, maybe I'll leave the party life, huh? 

- As if it were possible. 

- Ouch, that hurt. Of course it's possible, to me Lulu is the ideal woman, you know? 

- Ok, ok Veronica, I get it. - I said in a bad mood. 

- Does that bother you? 

- No, of course it doesn't. Why would it bother me? 

- Because you seem bothered. Tell me, are you into Luiza? 

- Me? Of course not. Stop trippin'. 

- Valentina, I'm your friend, if you tell me that you are into her I will leave her for you.

Was I into Luiza? After all what did I feel for that woman?! That woman that when I imagined her in someone else's arms, a colossal nuisance took over me. 

- Veronica, stop ok? You can be with Luiza. I don't care. - I huffed while standing up from my chair.

I left my office, leaving Vero behind alone. I saw Luiza talking animatedly next to Ally. Perhaps the woman was too happy to be disturbed.

And like this the afternoon passed by, after Veronica left I decided not to talk with anyone. I passed the order that I wouldn't like to be bothered. My bad mood was at a such high level that I could spit fire. 

- What a pain in the ass! - I seethed when I saw Alexa's seventh call in my phone. Would she ever give up? 

I thought throwing the small device on the desk. 

It was already the end of a working day, most employees weren't there anymore. And I as always was the last to leave.

- Miss Albuquerque?

I heard Luiza's sweet voice in my office.

- Here are your orders.

The woman spoke placing some packages on my desk. I still had a lot of reports to read, and Luiza was a great company, even though she was angry she still took care of me, the same had ordered my dinner. I knew she was still angry because of my rudeness, but it wouldn't be hard to stay with me, right?

- Miss Campos, I would like if you stayed later today. If you don't have any commitments of course.  

The brunette looked at me for brief seconds, seeming to think in such idea.

- I'm sorry, Miss, but I can't stay for long.

I stared at her in disbelief, Luiza was always at my side, she never refused work before. And now this?

- Why? 

-I have a date tonight. 

Shit, shit, shit! That had bothered me more than expected. With whom would she go out? My urge was to ask her, but surely I would hear an answer that I wouldn't like.

I nodded without uttering another word. 

- I can help you while I don't have to go. 

- No need. You can go. 

- Ma'am, I can still stay for a little while. - Luiza said walking in my direction. 

- I don't want to disrupt your date. - I let out ironically. 

- I'm sure you don't. - She answered back in the same tone.

Luiza and I stayed for like an hour rewriting clean the reports for the next day's meeting. She was sitting beside me on the couch, reading the paperwork that was in her hands. Even after a full day's work, the brunette preserved a divinely tidy appearance. Her hair was still tied in a bun like earlier, she only wore her green silk blouse, her blazer was thrown on the armchair to her left. She seemed focused on what she was doing. 

- Do you want wine? - I asked standing up. 

We had good memories with wine. 

- I don't know if it would be a good idea. 

I didn't speak, just grabbed two glasses and served them with the same brand of red wine that we drank over the weekend.

- Here.

Luiza stared at me for a few seconds, to then grab the glass from my hand. The woman slowly wet her fleshy lips with the liquid that had an amazing taste. It wasn't a surprise to anyone how much Miss Campos had purely desirable lips.

- You like this wine, right? - She asked placing the glass on the small table. 

I smiled at her and sat down beside her.

- I do, but it had been a long time since I didn't drink it. Only over the weekend with you of course.

She didn't say anything.

- Taylor asked about you today.

- Tay is really a sweetheart, I loved meeting her. Actually, your family is made of very nice and welcoming people. 

- You liked them? 

- Of course, they are wonderful people. 

- They liked you too. They keep complimenting you. And they said they wanted to see you soon.

- Who knows, maybe I'll pay them a visit. If you don't mind of course, I know it's your family.

- I don't mind, you can go whenever you want, Luiza. 

- Perfect, Miss Albuquerque. 

- You can call me Valentina... 

- No, I'm not getting into that again. - She spoke coldly, and stood up - We only have a working relationship. 

- Luiza...

- Don't start, ok? You are a very confusing woman. One time you seem to want to be my friend and the other I am your employee. Spare me from that, please.

- Can we have the same relationship we had before?

- We are having, Miss Albuquerque. I don't know what your nuisance is. Nothing changed, isn't that right?

The brunette spoke picking up her coat from the armchair.

- Where are you going? 

- To my date. Excuse me. - She said right before walking out of my office, leaving me speechless. 

You know when you stay with no reaction? Without knowing what to say or what to think? Luiza threw all those words on me and simply left. To a date... a date! I walked towards the large window of my office, looking down at the entrance. I saw Luiza leave the company, walking towards a white car. 

Wait... 

I knew that car. 

No, no... Not her... 

Iglesias! 

The two of them hugged for a long time, until Vero opened the car door so that Luiza could get into her car. She quickly went to her side, and they left to only God knows where. How could Veronica go out with Luiza? Fuck! She had every women she wanted, but not Luiza, not her. 

In that instant all the unnecessary images between them began swirling in my head. I was furious, yes. With a colossal fury. I had thought about following them, but that was crazy, Luiza was single and free. I couldn't do that, and nor should.

I sat in my chair, trying to push away such ideas from my head. And Luiza disappeared from my thoughts, to give way to the other that drove me crazy, Karla. 

She would have to give me some good explanations.

Alexa's POV

I was more than tired of waiting. After nearly ten phone calls to Valentina's phone I decided to go in and see her. And to my surprise she had given strict orders prohibiting my entrance in her office. She probably wanted more time to be alone with her useless little secretary. Sassy girl, Valentina had barely arrived and she was already seducing the heiress of the Albuquerque empire. Smart, however I was much more.

I waited for Valentina for hours in front of that building, sooner or later she would have to come out of there.

-----

-----

It was night, I was practically falling asleep on the steering wheel and nothing of Valentina. I lowered my head again until I heard the noise of the gate opening. A thread of hope was cut when I saw the bitch that Valentina has been drooling over lately. After knowing that she had taken Luiza to her parents' house where I had never been, my anger for the girl increased. 

The same walked towards a white car that was parked across the street. Did she make plans at this hour?

I watched attentively what the woman did, and as she approached the car, none other than Veronica Iglesias came closer. Wait, Vero and Luiza were going out?

She was really a slut, she was going out with the two best friends? Did Valentina know about this?

I looked at the huge building and no sign of Valentina. I returned my attention to Vero and Luiza who were hugged like a couple. Vero always a player and gentle, she opened the car door to the insolent who entered smiling.

No one would deny that Veronica Iglesias was the owner of a divine beauty. I even had interested myself in her as soon as Valentina introduced us. But Vero and Valentina were like hand in glove, those two always knew each other's secrets, and Vero would never betray Valentina's trust like that. So the chances of getting involved with her were summed to zero.

The two left in the car towards the south. Romantic dates, what did Valentina think about that? If she even knew...

I decided to wait a little longer, until the huge gate opened again, and now Valentina's unmistakable car left. I didn't understand that passion of Valentina for black cars, but one thing was certain, that color matched perfectly with her.

I quickly started the car and followed Valentina. That was the perfect time to follow her to her house.

The way was being too long, Valentina was in the busiest part of Miami. It wasn't possible that she would live in such busy places. I kept following her until her car signaled that she was going to stop. Valentina parked the car in front of a huge building, illuminated by a big neon sign with the word "Imperium" on it.

Wait, Valentina wasn't the type of woman who frequented nightclubs, and that seemed to be one of the biggest here. What was happening? I stopped the car on the other side of the street, thinking about the idea that maybe it wasn't Valentina in that car. But it was confirmed when I saw her get out of it. 

What was she doing there?

I thought about going in and see what she would do. But I knew that I shouldn't, I was too smart for that. I stood there watching her until she entered that place. 

Oh Valentina, I surely would find out what you were doing there.

Valentina's POV 

I entered "Imperium" looking for her. I walked towards the main stage where several women performed in group that night. I decided to wait, Karla would have to give me some good explanations about the way she treated me yesterday. I ordered a glass of the best Whiskey of that place and sat in one of the armchairs, just staring at those women. They were all too beautiful, but none of them matched my stripper. 

I couldn't understand my obsession with that woman, and with Luiza. They both made me feel something different and at the same time so intense. Something in both attracted me in a way that I couldn't explain.

You can understand me, right? Think about being in the middle of two very different women, but who united in a bond that not even you knew. Karla and Luiza were the downfall even of the strongest human being on earth. As incredible as it sounds, they were different, but they could be even be equal.

Crazy, I know. I shook my head, taking a sip of Whiskey.

Mixing drinks wasn't something healthy. That was already affecting my subconscious that wished that both women were only one.

Of that mixture there was two options, either I would be the luckiest woman of all, or both would end me.

And trust me, the second option was stronger. 

- Valentina?

I looked to the side and saw Kellen approaching, sitting right next to me.

- How are you? - I asked placing the glass on the table. 

- Now? Great. 

- Perfect.

Luiza's POV

- Honestly Luiza, you are absolutely right! - Vero spoke smiling.

The dinner was very pleasant, Veronica was a great company. She made me laugh, and feel good. We danced a lot and now we just talked.

- See? I told you. 

- Are you always this cocky? 

- Maybe yes, maybe no. 

I smiled at the woman and stopped as soon as I heard my phone ringing. It was Normani. What the hell did she want at this hour?

- You can answer, Luiza. 

- It will be just a minute. 

Iglesias nodded with a smile.  

- Hello?

- Lulu, I think you should come here now. 

- Why? What happened? - I asked without understanding. 

- Your woman is here! - She spoke from the other end. 

I smiled at Vero and stood up. 

- Normani, did you drink? 

- Of course not, Lulu. 

- So?

- Valentina is here, and she didn't find you.

- I don't want to see her, leave her there, and don't tell her where I am. 

- I know, but I think it would be good if you came here. Kellen is in full swing.

I stayed mute. Valentina wasn't happy at all with the situation with Karla. After our last encounter, I had ignored her.

- I don't care. - I lied.

- Are you sure? I don't want to seem pushy, but you if you don't come, Kellen will steal Albuquerque from you. 

- She wouldn't be able.

- The kiss that they are sharing right now it's not a weak one.

Kiss? Valentina was kissing another? No, no. I wouldn't let that happen, no way.

- Grab my mask and my lingerie, I'm on my way. 

- That's what I'm talking about! 

I hung up the phone and went back to the table. 

- I need to go, it's an emergency. 

- If you want I can take you. 

- Don't worry, I'll take a cab.

Valentina's POV

Kellen and I started talking, the conversation lasted nearly half an hour. From a distance I saw Normani, the brunette who always gave me information about Karla. She was staring at us from afar, she would probably tell Karla about everything.

- Do you know where Karla is? - I knew that they hated each other, but I needed to know where she was. 

- Today is not her day, your sweetheart is not coming. - Kellen said ironically.

"Dammit!" - I thought. Karla wasn't like the others who were there every night. She had the power to choose when to go.

- Do you know when she'll come? 

- Why are you so interested in her? There are much better things in here, you know? 

Kellen said provocatively. 

- I don't doubt that, but Karla is my stripper, you get it? 

- I can be your stripper and what else you wish, Albuquerque. 

The woman whispered in my ear, shivering up to the last hair on my body. 

- Kellen...

- Shush, you will never know if you have something better if you keep depriving yourself of experiencing. 

The woman stood up and straddled me on the chair. There was no doubt that Kellen had a radiant beauty. I stared at her, thinking about that possibility, Karla had snubbed me, and Luiza at this hour was in Vero's arms. And why would I have to go crazy thinking about them? No. If they could, I could too.

I held Kellen's waist tightly, and I kissed her. 

And for long minutes we kissed. She was wonderful, but she wasn't Karla. And much less Luiza. But I would continue, I would prove to myself that those two were nothing in my life. 

Kellen seemed to enjoy the situation, she kissed me with hunger and desire. 

- If you want we can go to the private room. - She said panting.

Private room? I had really good memories from that place. 

- Fine by me.

Kellen smiled and stood up. She held my hand and guided me to the corridors where there were those rooms. The music was too loud, there was a very high alcohol content in my body. Dammit, I felt that I was doing something wrong. As if that was a betrayal.

"Don't be an idiot, Valentina, Karla didn't think twice when she danced for those guys." - I thought.

I continued my way and stopped before the door that the woman opened with effort.

- Is everything alright?

She asked smiling.

- Yes, get in there. I'm going to get a drink and I'll be right back. 

Kellen nodded, stealing a quick kiss to then walk into the room. I needed a good dosage of Whiskey. Only that would make me continue.

I walked towards the liquor counter, grabbing an entire bottle. If it was to drink might as well be like this. As I returned in the direction of the private rooms where Kellen awaited me, I could notice her presence.

It wasn't possible. 

Karla came out of the place where the dressing rooms were. Her posture always imposing and sensual. The woman was wearing a red coat and a black mask on her face. 

I stopped and stared at her. Until she noticed me there. Our gazes met, causing an inexplicable feeling. It was her who I wanted, there was no doubt at all.

Karla walked graciously towards me, stopping a few centimeters from my body.

- Did you lower your standards? 

She asked, leaving me without understanding. 

- I see that you are accompanied, right? When I'm not around do you sleep with others? 

- What are you talking about? 

- The slut that is waiting for you in the private room. Or do you think that I don't know that you are going to fuck Kellen tonight? - She spoke arrogantly.

- You rejected me, remember? There are a lot of people who want me. - I answered back in the same tone.

Karla clenched her jaw, I could notice how angry the woman was. Was that jealousy?

- They can have my leftovers. I don't care.

I let out an ironic laugh. Leaving the drink on the table. 

- Are you jealous, Karla? - I teased her.

Karla laughed in the most sarcastic way she could.

- Me? Jealous?

I nodded.

- Valentina, Valentina, Valentina... - She sang my name on her lips while circling me - You have to learn that I don't feel jealousy. To be jealous, the person you are with needs to be better, and I know very well that in here, better than me, there isn't. 

Son of a bitch, she was so sure of herself. Her authoritative and firm voice tone left me so turned on.

- So? Why so much interest? Kellen was already waiting for me.

- Well go. And don't show up in front of me anymore.

- Are you angry? - I approached her. 

- I don't feel anger, jealousy, or anything for you. - She said firmly. 

- Why can't I believe you? 

I inched closer, staying such a few centimeters away from her body that at any moment they could touch. 

- You don't have to believe in anything, now leave me alone!

 Karla moved to get out of those corridors but I held her tightly by the arm, harshly bringing her body close to mine. 

- Why don't you admit it? Admit that you are dying of jealousy inside. - I spoke putting two fingers over her breast. 

The stripper's breathing changed, her gaze could kill me if it were possible. I was pinning her body with mine against the cold wall of that place.

- Let go of me, Valentina!

- You don't want that... I know you don't...

- Me? Or you? Don't try to fool yourself and be with someone else inside here when you come to see me! - She provoked.

- You are right, Karla, I came to see you. And I'm not leaving here without having you.

I brought one of my hands to her dark strands of hair, gripping them tightly.

- And if I don't want? - She whispered before my lips.

I smiled slowly.

- You always want... 

That was what I said before taking the lips of that woman in a fierce kiss. 

At the beginning Karla didn't correspond the kiss, she tried to push me away with all the strength she had. But I held her firmly by her arms, and I pinned her body with mine on the wall, until she stopped fighting and gave into the kiss. We could swallow each other at any moment of so much desire in which we clung there. I sucked Karla's lips between mine, sliding my tongue closer to hers that received mine hungrily. A kind of adrenaline washed over my veins, like a drug that you taste and you can't stop anymore.

Karla brought her hands between my hair and tugged on it, making our lips disconnect. Her mouth was reddish and she was panting. I leaned in and brushed my lips on the neck of that brunette who gasped when she felt them. I licked, sucked on her pulse point, making her fingers that were between my hair tug harder.

- I hate you, Albuquerque. - She whispered panting, leaning back. 

- Why? Huh? Because I turn you on? - I whispered in Karla's ear, while I trailed my hands down to the large volume that was her ass. Without letting the kisses stop. 

- You bitch! - She cussed, only increasing the urge I had to possess her.

- If you cuss me I'll squeeze it harder... - I squeezed her ass hard.

Karla stared at me, I could see in the brown of those eyes the desire that burned there. I quickly brought one hand to the coat she was wearing and when I opened it I saw only a bit of her small black lingerie.

Jesus, it was tiny. I could feel my center twitch just imagining taking off those pieces.

- You like it, don't you? - Karla whispered provocatively, slowly biting her lip.

- You still doubt it? How can you be so sexy, Karla?

- You think? If you want you can have a closer look. - Her voice tone was loaded with lust.

- I can?

Karla nodded, and smiled mischievously, to then say: 

- Kneel and have a look. - The stripper said fully opening her coat, leaving her body covered by two tiny pieces showing.

Fuck, Karla was so fucking hot. I inched closer to her, and stared at her.

- Kneel, Valentina! - She ordered.

That could only be madness, but I needed to do it. I inched closer to her, and kissed her lipsslowly to then bite her lower lip slowly, I trailed down her neck, going down between the valley of her breasts where I slid my tongue slowly, making the woman gasp. I stopped and kneeled before her, kissing her smooth stomach slowly. 

- That... Go lower... - Karla almost moaned.

Fuck, damn dancer. I felt hot, wet. And we still hadn't done anything. Due to where we were, we were in danger of getting caught by anyone.

I continued until I stopped in front of the tiny panties, I looked up, staring into Karla's eyes.

- You don't know how arousing it is to see you kneeled at my feet, Valentina. It's a delicious taste of power that you can't even imagine.

I smiled and leaned in to kiss slowly that area covered by the thin fabric.

- No, no. Stop.

I looked at her confused.

- What? 

- I only gave you permission to see, you can't touch, darling. 

I laughed dryly. 

- Are you kidding me? 

- It will be your punishment for wanting to go after another in my absence. 

- Don't do this. I'll go after Kellen if you leave me in this situation. 

- Go, the choice is yours. 

Karla freed herself from my hands and started walking away. 

- Come back here now! 

The woman continued on her way. 

- You'll pay me for this, Karla. - I said getting up from the floor.

The woman stopped in front of me, and faced me. 

- May the best win, Albuquerque. - She said throwing a little kiss in the air, to then leave.
