The Arrangement (unenhanced Edition) by AnnaRCase (beautiful books to read .txt) 📗

Looking at the college boy, she had no doubts he wasn’t a virgin. And he finished his drink and was headed over. Amberleigh smiled, gotcha little fish. But before the man reached her, a Page from the Mosaic level sprinted over to the bar. He was in his uniform which consisted of a thin strip of fabric to cover his junk, bare chested with markings allover his brown skin, and a beaded headdress. Mateus was supposedly from the Amazon Jungle, but the only jungle he was from was the concrete one of Brooklynn. His real name was Duane and it had taken him quite a while to ditch his New York accent and talk in broken English around customers.

“Amberleigh! Everyone is losing their damn minds around here! I just have to tell you the news!” said Mateus.

Amberleigh held up a finger to quiet him, but when she looked past him, the mark had already headed back towards his friends. She sighed. Fuck. Ebony would remain in the lead for now. She hopped down off the bar.

“What is it?” she snapped.

“The elites are in the building! Both of them!” he squealed.

Mateus was practically jumping up and down with excitement. Then again he had always been a bit dramatic. But both elites had never been in the club at the same time. The Godwin family and The Leda family each had a penthouse that looked out one of the Cobra’s eyes.

John Leda was a scientist and majority shareholder in the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States, the Leda Corporation. And he had been the first to discover which disease was infecting the population at an alarming rate, develop the first blood test to identify those infected, and patent the first serum that slowed the progression of the disease. It was common knowledge that LEDA Corporation would also be the ones to develop a vaccine for the disease, rumored to be coming any day now. John Leda had become the richest man in the world thanks to the disease which ravaged it. John Leda was treated like a God in this city and this club.

He visited the club less frequently than his brother and or his son Kaleb, but the last time Amberleigh had been pulled to their penthouse, the man himself was at the party. Entertaining some executives from his company. She had wound up giving a private show to Kaleb Leda, who wasn’t that good of a fuck, but she had made more money that night than she had ever before.

But John Leda wasn’t the only one to cash in on the apocalypse. The Godwin family had armored their trains, and their vehicles, and started transporting cargo of all types throughout the country. Even of the human variety. People depended on The Godwin Railroad to get to their destination safely through the wastelands and the infected domains, and also get the supplies they needed to survive. The Godwin family had become the second richest in Omega City.

The patriarch Cole Godwin and his son Adam had once been frequent visitors. He had even brought the boy here on his sixteenth Birthday ten years ago, before Amberleigh’s time. Naturally, several Goddesses claimed to be the one who had taken Adam Godwin’s virginity. Other members of the Godwin family also used the Penthouse from time to time, especially after the tragic death of Adam in a car wreck when he was only nineteen. After that Cole Godwin came here infrequently, and his younger son Grayson had never set foot in the club. There were many rumors as to why that was, though none could be substantiated.

Grayson made the tabloids frequently enough though, with sordid tales of wild parties and kinky sexual escapades. And last year, he was even set to marry another socialite heiress Courtney Van Tessen. Though rumor had it, their engagement was off. And it was rumored it was off because Grayson couldn’t keep it in his pants and had fucked half the heiresses in the city.

Amberleigh raised her eyebrows, “Bullshit. Mr. Godwin hasn’t been here in two years.”

“It’s better than that! I heard a Goddess from the Penthouse just served Grayson Godwin! For the first time in history, he is in our club! Damn I wish he would choose me! I would service him for free!”

She laughed at the absurdity of the statement. “Grayson Godwin isn’t in this club Mateus. And he’s not gay. He’s fucked half this cities’ women. Just bored bitches gossiping like always.”

He sighed and rolled his eyes. “Way to be a pessimist Amber. A guy can hope anyway. I gotta run. But I’ll see you later with a big fat I told you the fuck so.”

She snorted as Mateus scurried off, no doubt to spread the latest piece of hot gossip around the club. The only thing that dropped around here quicker than gossip was panties. The latest rumor which spread through the club had been a Page had impregnated the Mayor’s wife. When she tried to pin the baby on her husband, the Mayor confessed he had gotten snipped behind her back because they already had three children who were dumb as fuck.

This rumor was sure to blow that one out of the water. Amberleigh gave one last glance into the direction her little fish had been in, and found him dry humping another Goddess on the dancefloor. She decided to break protocol and try her luck at the VIP party. And hit up their buffet while she was at it.

As she made for the elevators she overheard a Goddess from the BDSM room gushing to a Page.

“Oh my Godwin! Grayson Godwin is in the building!”

She rolled her eyes and kept walking. Yeah the fuck right he was. No use wasting time and energy on that bullshit. She liked her chances of hooking a big fish tonight. Amberleigh was hungry and on the prowl.
