Part I: Touch Me

*

"I"M SORRY TO break it to you. but the patient's bones are getting weaker that she can't stand anymore. She needs to undergo chemotherapy soon." said Rica's Doctor to Coreen and her Aunt.

Her sister is currently sleeping so she took the chance to talk to her Doctor. She came rushing to the Hospital not even bothering to say goodbye to Royce. But Coreen didn't care at the moment.

"M-how much will it take and how much will my sister recover when she undergoes chemotherapy?"

"Chemotherapy costs $12,000 per session and she needs at least four to six months, maybe a year to undergo it." Coreen felt knees weak just hearing the huge amount of money and she sat down before she could fall. "The chances are 80 percent but it still depends on the child's response to the therapy."

She bites her lip in turmoil and feels her aunt squeeze in her arm. It would cost a lot but it's not even a hundred percent but more than half was more than okay, right? Coreen doesn't have that amount of money, even if he sells everything she can sell she'll do it just for her sister to recover. But no, there is a certainty, even if they say there's only ten percent hope she will cling to that hope for her sister. She should not be discouraged.

"C-come on. I'll work my way out. Thank you very much." knees weakened as she stood up and with his aunt's support they left the office but when they got out Coreen was feeling so weak that she leaned against the wall and broke down in tears.

"My God, where do I get that amount of money?" she asked herself as she looked up at the ceiling.

Why my sister? Why Rica? Why does she have to go through this? Coreen asked for the millionth times.

In the middle of the hospital hallway she let herself cry while sitting on the floor. She felt her aunt's hand on her shaking shoulders and she was grateful that someone was there to support her in those moments.

"Why is this our life? Why her?" she says in between broken sobs. "Why can't it be me?"

"Ssh, Coreen. God has a reason for this. Maybe it's because she knows you're not going to let your sister down. Let's just pray for your sister to recover."

It took her a few moments to calm herself down before returning to her sister's room. Rica was still asleep when they entered the room. She rubbed Rica's cheek and kissed her on the forehead before turning to her aunt.

"The Doctor says that Rica will need to go to therapy soon, please take care of my sister first. I'll find a way to make some money."

"Where are you going to get 12 grand, Coreen?"

"I have saved up a little money and I will just looking for some extra or something." she forced her own smile here before grabbing her sister's arm. "I'll be leaving first, my love. I promise you that I'll have what we need when I get back." she returned to her aunt and nodded before finally leaving the ward.

Every step she made out of the hospital was slow but determined, until she returned to her room at the White Mansion. She opened the box where she put her money and counted.

"One thousand." she bit her lips. Coreen felt lightheaded, she didn't know what to do anymore. Where would she get her sister's therapy for a year? My God.

Just then, she looked up and stared at the empty bed of Royce. She remembered his offer. Oh God, is she really considering that asshole's offer? Is she really willing to be his plaything?

But she knew no other way. She has no relatives to borrow money, she has nothing to sell.

She almost jumped in surprise when she heard the door slammed downstairs. She looks in the mirror and prepares herself just in case she looks like a mess. Because her mind is a mess, she didn't even bother checking her appearance.

For Rica, for her future, I am willing to sacrifice everything. I am willing to deal with a devil.

She breathed deeply before exiting her room and descending the stairs. She saw him drinking water. He briefly glanced at her before concentrating on the drink. She swallowed before speaking. "If the offer still stands, I would like to accept it." she says not beating around the bush.

He took his time in responding. After he drank it, he took a cake and ate it in front of her while just staring at her. "And if he doesn't?" he finally said after their staring competition.

Coreen swallowed, she did not think and prepared. She was so confident that the offer still stands. "I can't do anything about it." she replied in a low voice and her shoulder dropped. She was about to go back to her room and think of more ways to earn money when Royce talked.

"Beg me."

She almost broke her neck by looking back at him. "H-ha?"

"You heard me. Beg me to offer you again."

She was so shocked that she clenched her fists. She wants to slap him, spit at him and hurt him but Coreen knew she was in no place to do those things. She was desperate now and it was not the time to show her pride because it will not cure her sister.

She closed her eyes. "P-please."

"Please what?"

She opened her eyes again and stared at his eyes. "Make me your plaything."

She saw how Royce smirked and walked closer to her, well, as close as the space between them would allow.

"I think I'd like to hear that again with you," he looked down at the ground to make a point. "Kneeling down."

A tear fell from her eye but she quickly wiped it away and swallowed all her pride and dignity down before slowly kneeling and looking up at him. "P-please, make me your toy."

For a moment she thought she saw how his face softened when her tears started falling down her face but it was quickly gone and was replaced by his cold face.

"Be my plaything."

"Y-yes."

"YOUUSED TO BE a secretary before so what I'm about to say wouldn't be too hard to remember." he said while walking back and front at the other side of the mirror wall. "There will be five stages for being my plaything and with each step the amount increases. When do you want to start this?"

"Even now." she closed her eyes even though she was nervous. She didn't know what to do with it. What if he immediately asks for her virginity?

"Don't worry, I won't mess with your treasure."

She silently sighed in relief. "Who says I'm a virgin?" she immediately denied but her warm cheeks are enough to answer.

"Oh, believe me, I knew the moment you walked in." he mysteriously said that made her confused but before she could ask it he added something. "The first stage is worth 10 grand."

"W-what am I going to do?"

"It's simple." he stared directly at her eyes. "Dance for me and I didn't mean to just dance, I want a strip dance."

He breathed his last. "I'll remove my clothes?"

"No, you'll put your clothes on as you dance," he said sarcastically. "Yes you'll strip, woman."

For a moment she thought about it, it's not like it's the first time a man could see her body. Her ex saw it and even touched it before but this is different. She's not with Royce and she would never be his girlfriend.

"I don't have any clothes yet."

"Who said you don't?" he said before looking at something behind her. She turned to what he was referring to and was surprised to find a paper bag. She came up to it and opened it. "I'm always prepared."

Her jaw dropped to the floor when she saw a gold dress and gold lingerie. The type of clothes that strippers in movies use. She swallowed as she lifted it and looked up.

"I'll give you ten minutes to prepare but when I get back, I want the show ready." Royce came out of his room and left her there while looking at the offending piece of clothing.

Sh took a deep breath before exhaling. It was too late for her to give up. Ten grand for just strip dancing? What more could she ask for? Besides, the man cannot touch her anyway. Grabbing the paper bag she went to the bathroom and began to undress. As she was undressing she stared at the mirror. After all, she's not ashamed of her body because she's proud of it. Her waist is thin with no amount of fats, her hip was wide and her thighs were rounded. She has been blessed with healthy breasts and her vagina is constantly shaved and she really cares for her skin so her skin is smooth and white.

When she started putting on the clothes, she was surprised that they were the right size. How did Royce know her size? Is she being investigated? By the amount of money he has, it is not impossible. But, why?

When she's done, she looked at herself in the mirror and wants to take off. It did nothing to hide her body at all. Her breasts are almost out and the shape of her vagina is very prominent. How can she dance in front of him when her feet are both left? What if he laughs the whole time?

She was startled when Beyonce's song Naughty Girl suddenly played out of nowhere. The beat of the song accompanies her heartbeat at that moment. It felt like it was going to explode due to her feeling but her sister's smiling face entered her mind and she felt like she had lost all of her body inhibition.

I love to love you baby

I love to love you baby

I'm feeling 'sexy

I wanna hear you say my name boy

If you can reach me

You can feel my burning flame

For tonight, you are not a virgin woman. You are a desperate woman in need of money. She said to herself before she slowly opened the door and started moving her body seductively to the beat of the music. She saw Royce leaning back on his bed while looking bored at her and she raised her eyebrows. That will change soon. She promised.

I'm feeling 'kind of n-a-s-t-y I just might take you home with me.

Baby the minute I feel your energy

Your vibe's just taken over me.

Start feeling 'so crazy babe

Lately, I feel the funk coming over me

I don't know what's gotten into me

The rhythm's got me feeling 'so crazy babe

She moved her hips sexily and gave the man a good view of her back. She bent down and started shaking and twerking her ass like what she saw before. She faced him again and a smile settled on her lips when she saw that his expression had changed. His eyes darkened without looking away from her body and she bites her lip when she saw a rather impressive bulge on his leather pants.

Tonight I'll be your naughty girl

I'm callin' all my girls

We're gonna turn this party out

I know you want my body

Tonight I'll be your naughty girl I'm

Callin' all my girls

I see you look me up and down

And I came to the party

She removed the coat she's wearing and touched her body, she closed her eyes and imagined it to be a man's hand. She imagined her ex's hands on her body, how he touched her before but his face was quickly replaced by Royce's face and her body started burning up. She let her body move to the beat of the music. She felt confident running through her whole body. She runs her fingers from her neck down to her chests and she opened her eyes to see Royce now looking at her while standing up, his arousal now evident.

She smirked and removed the bra, seeing how Royce swallowed while looking at her chest. She could see how he clenched his fists, as if wanting to touch her body. Too bad, you hate physical contact. Coreen said in her mind. For the final show, she stepped in front of the mirror wall and traced her finger against it, she swayed her hips from side to side and slowly but seductively pulled on the string to remove it.

"Fuck." she heard Royce swearing making her smiled at him. Smile captivating. Smiling angrily as she knew he couldn't handle it.

At the end of the song she immediately went to the bathroom. When she got to the bathroom, she leaned against the door and lost all her courage and was replaced by shame.

But she doesn't care anymore, all she cares about is her sister.
