19. Caught in the act

Royal star hotel was the sign that greeted Daisy the moment she stepped down from Simon's car.., she wowed at the gargantuan edifice in front of her.., her mind cogitate over the doltish excuse she gave Simon when he dropped her at the hotel gate..., she told him she was there to see her aunt who came with her husband for a friend's wedding..., thank God the next day was a saturday making the lie more believable...

She exhale, adjust and arrange her gown before stepping into the hotel premises...., she felt like she had an odd look that was slightly lurching as she walk, perhaps she was walking too fast, it was hard to tell since the security men's eyes were gaping at her like they haven't seen a beautiful girl on a short gown before.....

She heard them muttering words to their selves but she ignored and trudged along the marble floor at a sedate pace, her mind focused on the gentle footsteps that seemed to echo throughout the floor....

She heaved a deep sigh of relief from her onlookers and side gossipers before taking her phone out to call prince Tarris as he had told her to do when she arrive...

"Am at the hotel sir..."she said when the call connected..

She heard him cough before his hoarse voice came up...

"Tell the receptionist to send you over to the VIP bar..."

It was a minute later when she got upstairs before gliding down to the bar, she quickly recognised him the moment she saw him..., with a smile, she composed herself before trotting towards him...

"Hi...."She said, lips parted in a coquettish manner....

"Hi...."Prince Tarris replied slightly licking his lips at her alluring lift breast...

Daisy suck in when she realise they were the only one in the VIP section.....

"You booked the whole place...?"She asked curiously

He chuckle..."I did.."

"Really, how do you do that, book the whole bar...?"

"Am a friend of the owner, i asked him for a 30mins alone time with the most prettiest girl in the whole planet..."

Daisy force herself to blush...."Am flattered..."She bend her neck seductively...

"How are you..?"

Am very fine sir..."

"I never thought you'll call..."

She swallowed realizing she wouldn't have called if Matthew hadn't been a thorn in her flesh...."Aren't you happy i called.."

He smile...."What can i say, am the most happiest man to be privileged to behold a goddess in my front..."

Daisy raise her brow...."Mm-hmm..."

"Mm-hmm..."

"You see, i wanted to hear what you said you had to say to me when you gave me your card..."

He flexed his fingers and lean his head closer....."Why don't we drink before we dive into that...."

"You buying champagne...?"

"Anything for the queen..."

********************

Janet was eating the plate of rice like she thought it was poisoned. Each spoonfull was tinier that you'd feed a baby and even then she nibbled it, pausing before taking any more...., her head was buzzling with confused thoughts and her stomach too terrify to take more even though hunger was pricking a part of flatten belly...., once again Kenny words of not having a wife ring in her head...., whether true or not she was too hurt to believe it....

She exhale and took another spoonful of the food, she chew on it before a knock came on her door..., too terrified to get up, she ignored the knock and continue with her food...

When the knock came again she had no choice but to get up, preparing herself to give whoever was knocking a piece of her mind....

Anger surged up inside her the moment she unlock the door and saw the least person she never thought she'll see again....

"Hey.."Barry said crisply..

"What do you want...?"She returned immediately

Barry sigh...."I missed you.."

Janet hissed at the words, she wasn't just in the mood for any stupid words from any guy....

"So..."She sneer..

"Did you block my number, cos all my calls to you hasn't been reachable..."

She grit her teeth before answering..."Yes i did..."

"I missed you..."He reiterated

"You said that before..."She snarled hoping he gets the memo she isn't in a good mood...

"Can i come in..?"

"No.."She riposte..

"I want to talk to you.."Barry said

Irritation surged up inside her...."What do you want Barry...?"

"I just want to talk to you.."

"About what..?"She fling back infuriated

"About us.."

"Who is us..?"

"Us.."

"I heard you, what am asking is who is us..?"

Barry exhale..."I mean the two of us..."

"Two of who..?"

"Janet please, you know damn well what am talking about..."

"I don't want to do this with you Barry, am really in a bad mood right now...."

"I swear i won't take much of your time.."

"Didn't you hear me..."She snarled at him...."I don't want to talk to anyone and that includes you and every other guy with a penis out there, you all can go to hell..."

"You're angry..."

"You're damn correct am angry..."She retorted furiously..."So please Barry of the Caribbean, leave me the hell alone..."

"It's pirate of the carribean..."Barry corrected

Janet hissed, ignoring him, she made attempt to step back into her room but he hold her back....

She turn to his side like an enraged panther, avoiding trouble he removed his hand from hers...

"Janet.."

"What..?"She scowled

He took a deep breathe before speaking... "I still love you..."

"So how's that supposed to be my business...?"

"Am serious..."

"Go away Barry..., we broke up, i moved on, you should too..."

"Well am sorry if i find it difficult to move on without you..."

"Sounds like a 'you' problem.."She stated

"Janet..."

"Do not call me..., i told you Barry, we're done, am not doing this rubbish with you.."

"Can you just hear me out..."

"No..."She blare out, her voice attracting the neighbour's attention..."I won't hear you out, i won't hear you or any other guy there out.... "

"Did Kenny hurt you..?"

Refusing to give him the dignity of a reply, she eyed him and walk back into her room shutting the door in his face before he could follow or hold her again....

"Janet..."He called out from outside, what followed was the echo of his voice in the walls of the quiet compound...

******************

The ice fell against the glass, Daisy's fingers slid on the condensation before her fingers regain their grip. She felt the chill run down her throat and her head made an involuntary shake at the chill taste of the champagne....

"Am drinking stars.."she said dropping the glass on the table...

"Why haven't i seen a beauty like you... ?"Prince Tarris said

A smile circled Daisy's lips...."Cos i always hide in my little hole..."

He chuckle..."Now why would a damsel like you been hiding in a little hole when you're supposed to be souring high"

"Unexpected turn around...., same shit that chokes the struggling haves not ..."

He lean closer and hold her hand across the table..., Daisy smile at the odd sense of his touch....

"I can make you fly..."

A raw excitement surged up inside her...."Of course chief...

"Call me Prince Tarris..."

"Prince Tarris..."She pout...."You're more than capable..."

"But..."He stated retreating his hand...."Only if you play your cards well..."

Daisy smile, her head pondering over the only card men likes playing.....SEX....

"Trust me, I'll win.."She teased...

"I like you Daisy, you seem to know what you want..., i like women that pursue their dream..."

Daisy almost laugh.., who dreams of having sex for money..., what she's doing is only temporary.....

"And i love men that comes straight to the point..., prince Tarris.."

"Why do my instinct tells me you already know the point..."

Daisy gulp down another glass of the cold drink before saying...."How much are you staking...?"

"On a scale of a thousand and million.., how much do you want....?"

"I don't want to sound greedy chief..."

He laugh...."I love your passion, it makes me jingle with proclivity..."

"Hmm..."

"I love everything about you..."

"Am a bad bad girl chief.."

"Bad girls turn me on..."

"Mm-hmm"

"Why don't we visit my room and the discuss the rest...."

Daisy took a deep breathe, her mind pricking her if she's really ready to go through with her intentions.....

"Okay.."She said damning her thoughts "But a cheque first...."

"Of course.., i wouldn't keep the lady waiting...."

*********************

That delicious moment Daisy stepped into his presidential suite, her face washed blank with confusion, like her brain cogs couldn't turn fast enough to take in her contradictory thoughts from her wide eyes. Every muscle of her body just froze before a grin crept onto her face when again prince Tarris turn to face her....

"Like what you're seeing...?"Prince Tarris asked reaching for his chequebook on the glass table...

"It's a nice suite...."She stated..., she have high expectations from him even though her head keeps beeping with the possibility that high expectations from a total stranger is just a one way ticket to resentment..., she sat on the expensive couch and cross her legs watching his hands move as he muffle things on the chequebook with a pen....

"There you go...."He said pulling out the paper and handling it to her.

Shock swept across her face when she saw the figures....."Two hundred thousand...."She said mouth slack-jawed...

"Anything for a goddess..."

"Oh my God...."She mutter filtering her excitement a bit before he starts thinking she's all about the money.....

"You want to see the bedroom..."He said pointing

Daisy exhale, she's really doing this..."Sure..."

He smile and she force herself to smile back, when he led the way, she dropped the cheque on her bag and hurried after him...

She stopped when she saw BDSM equipment..., her excitement suddenly flushed down the drain....

"Are you okay...?"He asked when he spun around to face her...

"You use these things...?"She asked curiously

"Yes.., i love to dominate..."

Daisy's eyes flickered from the cuffs and straps, to the ball gags and bit gags before turning to the blindfolds and hoods then the chokers and body harnesses...

"This is hardcore..."She mutter

"No it isn't, this is what good sex is all about..., and it's my way of dominating..."

"You dominate by inflicting pains on the other person...."

"I won't inflict pains on you, there are rules, if you feel terrorize or uncomfortable, just say fùck me and I'll stop..."

Daisy sigh..."Can't we just have sex without these things..."

"Where will be the fun if we do that....., this is how i have sex..."

"Really, you use these things on your wife....?"

"Do not bring my wife into this...."He snarled

"Am sorry...."

He picked a spanking cane and look back at her...."Strip..."He said

Daisy flinch at his command...."I can't do this.."

"Do what..?"

"Have sex like this...."

"It'll be fun.."

"You think whipping and inflicting injuries on me will be fun..."She groan..

"I promise, I'll be gentle..."

She reasoned the two hundred thousand naira cheque on her bag, then the belts and pain tools on the bed abd floor...., she bit her lips for her inability of taking a decision...., there's no money without pain....

"I can't do it..."She stated

"Why do you think i gave you so much money..."He blare out, anger clapping with his voice....."You thought i gave you two hundred thousand so you could sit on my dick and ride me....?"

She didn't answer instead she look away...

"Are you going to do this or not...?"

Daisy glances upward, her mouth pursed but slightly open and loose. Her eyes were fixed as if she's looking at something a yard behind Prince Tarris head...., her head spinning with thoughts, she ignored Prince Tarris weird gaze and zip her bag open.....

"I can't do this...."She said returning his cheque to him..

Infuriated, he snatched it from her and torn it into pieces...

"Am sorry..."She mutter

"Get out of my suite..."He growled

"Am sorry.."

"Get out..."He yelled

She almost fell at his loud outburst....

"Okay..."She fling back slightly irritated before trotting towards the door...

"What about my transport fare.. ?"She dared asked

Fear pricked her when he began walking towards her, she quickly open the door and stepped outside herself to avoid been pushed...

"Prince Tarris..."

He eyed her before shutting the door on her face....

"Imbècile..."Daisy cursed

She arranged her shoes, take a deep breathe before deciding to use the elevator but quickly change her mind about the elevator when her head brood over her past experience, she was trapped in an elevator for almost an hour, since then she decided to use the staircase whenever she come across one..., tossing her hair aside, she glided down the staircase to the first floor, she was about climbing down to the ground floor when her eyes caught someone, she stopped, then she hid behind the wall and slowly poke her head out...., she watch the person knock on another room door, when the room door opened, her brain quickly register who he was....

"Tony...."She mutter before he went into the room

She came out from hiding and tiptoe towards the room door all the way asking herself who Tony came to see in a hotel..., she stare at the room number before moving back to the other end of the hallway.....

Her heart still beating rapidly from the shock, she dialled Lily's number....

"Hey girl..."Lily's voice sounded when the call connected

"Lily, i just saw Tony entering a hotel room..."Daisy replied shapily

"What...?"

"You need to come here girl..., Tony is cheating on you..."

"What hotel...?"

"The royal star..."

"What room is he...?"

She peep to be sure he's not out...."Room 202.."

"Don't lose sight of him, am on my way..."

"Be fast okay...."She mutter before the call drop dead....

********************

"Where is he...?"Lily blare out the moment she set eyes on Daisy at the hotel gate...

"He's still in here.."Daisy replied with beating heart..

"Where you hearing voices...?"Lily asked

"What voices..?"

"Female voices, moans, anything that will link him to cheating..."

"I didn't lean my ear on the door...."

"He better not be cheating on me..."She snarled furiously walking in...

"What are you going to do, wait for him to come out..?

"No, am kicking that door open..."

"Lily you can't do that, this is a hotel, you might get arrested...."

"You don't know how am feeling now, i can't wait for him to come out, i need to get into that room and see the whòre he's been cheating on me with "

"If that's what you want, we need a spare key...."

"You think you'll get a spare key...."

"We should ask...."

"We're wasting time Daisy, i need to see that bitch, i swear if Tony is cheating on me, I'll kill him, I'll kill that lying son of a bitch..."

"Jesus Lily, you won't kill anyone, don't make me regret why i told you..."

She took a sharp breathe trying hard to calm her panic...

"Just relax let me do this okay..."Daisy said

"Okay..."

Daisy nib her lips before walking into the hotel reception, Lily tagging along still smouldering in her angry look....

"Hey....."Daisy said to the receptionist

"Good evening again ma...."The lady at the front desk replied

"My friend and i are looking for someone, in room 202...."

"Is he expecting you...?"The receptionist asked

"Yes..., i mean no...."Daisy bit her lip at the error....."Okay listen, he's our friend and we wanted to surprise him for his birthday, so we kinda need a spare key to the room..."

"There is no spare key ma..."

Daisy frown..."There's always a spare key..."

"I don't know of any.."

"Am going there Daisy..."Lily chimes in from behind.....

"Please..."Daisy said to the receptionist....

"I can't do it ma..."

"If you hear your husband is in a room screwing another woman, won't you want to find out..."Lily interjects, voice clipped with spite..

"Your husband is here....?"

"Yes, he's here with another woman..."Lily scowled walking close to her..

"Lily, you can't tell her that..."Daisy jump in but it didn't stop Lily..

"Do you know my husband hasn't been sleeping with me since our wedding night, you're a lady, put yourself in my shoes and tell me you won't get furious when he bangs another woman...."

"I can't get involved in this ma, i might lose my job.."

"You won't lose your job..., we aren't going to make a scene..."

"Oh I'll make a scene..., that bastard haven't been having sex with me but he had the guts to have sex with another woman, he told me he had a disease, and that's why he can't have sex with me but it all turned out to be a lie, that man is here right now having sex with another woman..., so spare key or not, am going in there..."

"Jesus, men are evil..."The lady chimes in...."Do you know am going through the same thing..."

"Oh God.."Daisy murmur

"If you do, you must know how am feeling right now..."

"You know what, am giving you the key, am resigning from this shit job anyway.., the manager sleeps with the female staffs, i can't continue with it.. "The lady said before handling her a spare key...

"Drag that bitch hair....."She added...

Not bothering to thank her, she scurried off to the floor with Daisy running after her...

Daisy took the key from her when they got to the door and mouthed at her to shut up....

She insert the key on the door, took a deep breathe before unlocking it....

Lily pushed the door open..., her heart raced with tremendous speed, her feet trembled, she lost her balance and rest her shaking body on the wall for support..

Daisy eyes enlarged with terror when Tony quickly covered himself with the blanket.....

"You...you're gay...."Lily stuttered

Daisy's eyes flickered from Tony to the guy he was banging, berserk hit her stomach at the sight of him....

"Adam...."She called out...

"Hi...."Adam waved shabbily
