Ch. 3: A Gentleman

Isaac sank to a crouch, his hand trembling slightly as it threaded through his tousled hair. He could feel his heart slamming against his ribcage, and his face was a blushing mess.
5

He was big.
58

Isaac shook his head before staring at the wad of money. He slowly counted the bills. Five thousand dollars?! Who walks around with five grand in their pockets?!
39

Isaac couldn’t believe his eyes. He had earned a three-month salary within minutes! He remembered Lucien slipping something into his pants and glanced at it. Written in elegant, bold letters was the man’s name: Lucien Royce. Hastily, Isaac dressed himself. Even with a ripped shirt, he looked overdressed. He tucked the money and business card into his pocket before leaving, but it hurt too much to walk with an erection. He gave up and locked himself in a bathroom stall, unzipping his pants and letting his erection spring free. He looked at himself, flustered and embarrassed.
37

I’m not a teenager anymore! Yet he felt just as vulnerable.
6

Isaac took deep breaths, trying to distract himself, but every time he closed his eyes, he felt Lucien’s lingering presence and heard his husky voice echoing in his mind. The memory of Lucien’s magnetic presence flooded Isaac’s senses, making his erection even more painful. Am I really going to do it here?
4

‘You’d like that, wouldn’t you?’ He could almost hear the echo of Lucien’s commanding voice.

Isaac surrendered to the overwhelming urge, his hand instinctively wrapping around his length. Lucien’s devilishly handsome face lingered in his mind, every detail etched vividly: the way his eyes bore into him through dark lashes, the confident smirk playing on his lips, the commanding tone that sent shivers down Isaac’s spine. With each stroke, Isaac’s breath quickened, his body responding eagerly to the fantasy playing out in his mind.
17

Dragging his fingertips across his chest, Isaac attempted to recreate the sensations of Lucien’s touch, tracing imaginary paths along his skin. He bit his lower lip, stifling the soft moans that threatened to escape, his eyes rolling back as he lost himself in the pleasure of his own touch.
2

As the climax approached, Isaac’s grip tightened, his body trembling with anticipation. He spilled into his waiting hand, the intensity of his release washing over him in powerful waves. He continued to move his hand, his body twitching and jerking uncontrollably until, finally spent, he released his grip.
30

Isaac leaned heavily against the door, his chest heaving to catch his breath.

“Shit,” he muttered to himself, the embarrassment hitting him all at once.
5

If it felt this good jerking off to him, he couldn’t fathom how good the real thing would be. Isaac stiffened, chasing away the thought. He couldn’t allow himself to dwell on thoughts of Lucien any longer. It was pointless since he would never see that man again.
13

Isaac zipped up his pants and washed his hands. He looked up at his reflection, taking in the disheveled appearance staring back at him. His hair was a mess, his cheeks were still flushed pink, and his eyes were dilated. It looked like he had just rolled out of bed and had the best night of his life.
2

It’s the alcohol, Isaac tried to convince himself. It has to be.
12

He found Jubilee standing in the hallway, counting cash. She heard footsteps approaching and gasped, running to Isaac in her impossibly tall stilettos. At this point, Isaac was certain she could defy the laws of physics.
7

“Isaac!” she exclaimed, her hand reaching out to rest on his arm. He flinched slightly, his body still sensitive from earlier. “Are you okay?” Jubilee’s gaze flickered down to his torn shirt, then back up to his flushed face. “And why is your face so red?” Her brows formed one. “And why do you look like you just had the best sex of your life?”

“I’ll tell you everything later, but can we get out of here first?”

Her mouth dropped open, and she let out a nasal noise. “You didn’t… You did!” she exclaimed.
8

“Later,” Isaac begged.

They went to the changing rooms. Once inside, they shed their provocative attire, exchanging it for more modest clothing. When Isaac stepped out, he couldn’t help but notice the shift in atmosphere. He was met with hostile and jealous glares from the other strippers, their resentment practically tangible. Isaac pretended not to notice. He and Jubilee went to the counter to settle their debt for the broken bottle.

The bartender, clearly impressed, counted the last hundreds.

“Well, I’ll be damned. Nice work, newbie.” He then turned his attention to Jubilee. “You should bring this one back.”

“He already has a sugar daddy,” she winked. “He’s a filthy rich man. A total zaddy with a huge size this b—”
17

Isaac quickly lowered her hands before she could demonstrate, quickly thanking the barman before pulling his best friend toward the exit. She laughed, stopping him in his steps.

“What?” he asked.

“Bojo, remember?”
13

The bouncer looked like he was searching for someone. Isaac gulped. So much had happened in one night, he had completely forgotten about him. He didn’t know how Jubilee managed to do this every day.
3

“Right,” Isaac grumbled, allowing Jubilee to guide him through the backdoor. To their surprise, a taxi was parked conveniently at the curb, almost as if it had been waiting for them.
1

“Well, isn’t it our lucky day?” Jubilee exclaimed with a grin as they climbed into the cab. Once they were seated, Jubilee wouldn’t stop asking about the V.I.P. room.

“I gave him a lap dance,” Isaac replied stiffly, keeping the details to himself. “Who is he anyway?”

“No one other than the Lucien Royce.”

Isaac stared at her, clueless.
1

“He’s one of the richest men in the city. He’s so rich, I heard he uses cash to burn fire.” Even the cab driver seemed intrigued by her narration. “He owns so many businesses, I can’t even name one of them!”
4

Isaac raised a brow and deadpanned, “You don’t know any of them, do you?”
1

She dismissed him with a wave.

“That’s not important. What’s important is that HE’S FILTHY RICH. I heard he even owns illegal businesses.”
3

Isaac’s brows pulled together. “What kind?”

“Dunno, you hear all kinds of rumors. Brothels, drugs, casinos, the usual criminal stuff,” Jubilee casually listed off, talking like those were normal businesses. “Some people even say he sells organs at The Red District.”
17

Isaac’s eyes widened, and Jubilee quickly interjected, “But those are just rumors,” she reassured. “If you look up online, his track record is clean.”

But Isaac remained skeptical. Either Lucien was really innocent or he had enough money and power to look it.

“Anyway, did he pay you?” Jubilee asked, steering the subject.

Isaac nodded faintly. Everything still felt surreal.

“He tossed so much cash like it was nothing,” he whispered.
2

“He’s Lucien Royce,” Jubilee said as if his name enough was self-explanatory. A grin crept on her face as she leaned in, nudging her best friend in the ribs. “So, how big was he?”
7

“I didn’t see it,” Isaac blurted out, feeling a flush of embarrassment creeping up his neck. Jubilee rolled her eyes in response.

“But you’ve felt it. Was he big?”

Isaac was hyper-aware of the taxi driver’s presence and could feel his hard gaze. He looked out the window, wondering why his heart was racing.
1

“Yeah,” he finally admitted.

“How big?”
27

Huge.

“Above average? I don’t know,” he estimated vaguely.
1

Jubilee cackled. “Above average? Sweetie, above average is an understatement, and you know it.”

“Have you seen it?” Isaac inquired, almost as if they were talking about some mythical monster.
2

“Nah, he’s never requested a private show with me, but lots of the boys at the club have.”
1

A frown. “Really?”
2

“He’s a powerful man who loves sex. I mean, I don’t blame him. Have you seen him?”

“I didn’t know he treated everyone the same,” Isaac murmured, letting his thoughts slip out.
11

Jubilee had an impish grin. “Why? Are you interested?”
3

“No, not a bit!”
7

“What are you going to do with all that money?”

“Give it to Hound when he comes to collect.”

The smile on her face faded. “Do you still owe him that much?”

“I’ll probably be working another ten years before I can pay it all off,” Isaac mumbled. Ten years if he was optimistic, but he didn’t want Jubilee to worry. She had already done so much for him.
8

Jubilee rested her head on Isaac’s shoulder, staring out the window at the blurry city lights. The world became a hazy blue as they drove down New York, and the tiredness hit her at once. She let out a lioness yawn, her lids growing heavy.
2

“If I were rich, I’d pay off all your debt and send you back to college,” Jubilee whispered softly, her voice tinged with sincerity. Isaac smiled, resting his chin on her head.
40

“Thanks,” he murmured.

“I guess today was a good day for the both of us.”
1

“Did something good happen to you?”

“A man came up to me and gave me money for a taxi,” she revealed, and Isaac remembered seeing her count cash. “He didn’t even ask me for a lap dance.”
3

“He just gave you the money?”

“Yup.”

“Does that happen often?”

“Never,” she admitted. “I thought men were all selfish, but I guess some are okay.”
4

“We aren’t that bad,” Isaac chuckled lightly.

Jubilee shrugged, a faint smile touching her lips. “I used to be one, so I would know.”

As they left the city and drove deeper into the suburbs, the bright lights slowly faded, and the streets grew dark. Even the taxi driver seemed unsure, occasionally glancing at Isaac through the rearview mirror as if expecting him to give him different directions. When they finally arrived at Isaac’s apartment building, Jubilee woke up.

“No!” she suddenly screeched like a hawk, startling Isaac as he tried to pay the taxi driver. She threatened the driver, warning him that if he took Isaac’s money, she would poke his eyes out with her stilettos. She even offered to let him check her criminal record if he didn’t believe her.
9

“You don’t even have a criminal record,” he muttered under his breath, but the driver took Jubilee’s money instead. Isaac thanked them and got out of the car.

“Text me when you get home.”

Jubilee blew air kisses through the window. The vehicle drove away and disappeared around the corner. The last light vanished, and Isaac turned towards his rundown apartment with thoughts of Lucien still racing through his mind. He remembered how Lucien felt when he pressed up against him, and he felt his heart race.

‘Imagine not wearing any clothes. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?’ Lucien’s voice echoed in his mind. Isaac gulped and quickly pushed the thought away, but he couldn’t help but think: I would.
