Sold?

'Bastard'

The name of the club I just entered. Arius had gone ahead of me and my first job was to find him, then seduce him.

I sighed.

Seduce him? How the hell am I supposed to do that?

I looked at my short velvet purple dress and looked back up with a bit of hope.

At least the dress is sexy, it was highlighting the details of my figure and exposing much of my skin.

I stood on the second floor balcony, scanning the area of the first. It took me a while to spot him.

He sat amongst a crowd, mostly females trying to impress him.

I took a deep breath.

Time for seduction!

The music was blasting in the place while I walked down to the first floor. From far away I noticed Arius, still sitting in his place. He noticed me coming his way then ignored me.

Think!

I told myself.

Think!! How can I seduce him? He must be used to everything.

I slowed down my pace but didn't stop.

Arius noticed that and got up from the sofa and began walking away.

What the-?! I might lose him like this!

I ran towards him, without thinking about anything I jerked him around, grabbed his collars and kissed him, pushing him against a pillar along the way.

After a few moments I broke the kiss and looked at him. He was looking at me with an amused face, then he scrunched his nose and shook his head.

"This wasn't enough?" I sighed and was about to back away when he grabbed my waist and pulled me back in.

"You did surprise me though. I wasn't expecting a straight forward attack." He turned our positions in an instant and grabbed the back of my thigh, pulling it up to his waist, "You still need to learn." He smirked.

"Learn?"

"How to kiss." He brought his face close and pressed his lips next to mine. Softly at first but then before my brain could process it, the kiss turned rough.

He explored my mouth while his hand traveled to the back of my head.

He pulled me in more closer, even though I thought it wouldn't even be possible.

I felt myself melt and become breathless but I didn't want it to stop even though at the same time I wanted him to.

I never knew a kiss could make me feel this weak, I felt tingly all over but Arius held me up in my place.

I felt butterflies in my stomach.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I grabbed his hair on the back of his head, running my fingers through them as he continued to blow my mind.

I couldn't think, my mind went completely blank and at that time he broke the kiss.

I looked at him as I breathed heavily. My lipstick smudged around his lips. His breathing ragged as well yet he managed to smirk after looking at me who was in a state of mess.

He licked his lips, grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with him to the back of the club.

I wanted to ask him why? But my mind still hadn't recovered and I let him pull me along.

As we reached a room in the far back of the club, a waiter stood outside with some wine in a wine glass that steadily stood on the silver tray.

He picked it up but put it back right after, then pulled me in the room.

Just before entering I decided that I might need the wine and I picked the glass up and drank from it almost immediately.

Arius closed the door to the bedroom and then turned to me. The moment he saw me with the wine he snatched it away.

"It wasn't for you."

"I need it!!" I tried getting it back but he easily dodged my attack and drowned the wine through his throat in one go.

I looked at him in awe while he threw the glass in the corner of the room, smashing it into pieces.

I blinked in confusion. I don't think I'll understand him, ever.

He didn't want the wine before but now that I wanted to drink it, he snatched it away and even broke the glass.

I sighed.

And now he's taken out a gun and is putting a Silencer on it.

Wait- A gun?!

My eyes went wide as I saw him finish his preparation.

Then he pointed the gun at me.

"I know you're not ready. No one's ever ready for this."

"What....?"

He didn't smile and just kept looking at me for a few moments, "Aren't you taking it?" He bobbed the gun.

"Huh?"

Sighing he stepped closer, grabbed my wrist, handed me the gun and turned me to face the door from the left sideway.

Placing both his hands on mine from the back he made me point the gun at the door.

"What are you planning?" I began to panic as I understood what he wanted to make me do, "I'm not killing anyone! I'm not a murderer like you!" But he didn't let my arms move from the place.

"Relax. You're not going to kill just anyone. We're just doing an experiment."

"What experiment?"

"You have to scare someone. Look at the door. Someone's coming."

"Why scare him?" My arms fell as soon as he let me go and stepped back.

"To make him listen to what I have to say."

I shot my head towards the door as it opened, revealing a tipsy man.

He scanned the room as he tried to stand straight.

"You!" He noticed us and pointed at me, or perhaps at the person standing behind me, "I have business with you!" He stepped closer and I raised my gun at him.

It's okay.

I only have to scare him enough to make him listen.

"Stop! Or I'll shoot you right here."

He stopped and stared at the gun, "You ain't shooting that missy." He took another step towards me, then another. He wasn't stopping and then, I felt a finger press over my finger that was on the gun trigger.

Drops of blood splattered on my face as I saw three bullets go through the man's body.

My breath got stuck in my throat as I realized I had fired the gun and Arius was behind me doing it.

The man fell to the floor as blood began seeping through his clothes.

It all happened too fast. Way too fast and I wasn't ready to accept it.

I turned around in horror as Arius clapped his hands.

"Congratulations" He smiled, "On your very first kill."
