couch.

I didn’t normally
drink while on the job, but I knew if I didn’t, I wouldn’t fit in.
I grabbed a light beer and walked around the small apartment.
Thoughts of Mia and her words kept annoying me. Could she somehow
be involved? If she were involved with my main suspect, it meant
Charli was in an even bigger danger than I first thought. The
throbbing bass died and someone tapped a microphone, causing
everyone in the room to go quiet.
“ Listen up, everyone.
Tonight, we have a new member to initiate.” I looked around for the
source of the voice, and found Mia standing by the DJ table holding
a microphone. A wave of cheering commenced, and it almost deafens
me. I covered one ear. Being partially deaf in that ear from a gun
accident probably didn’t help.
“ We all know how fun
it is to be initiated, right? Well, let’s show Nathan a good
time.”
I suddenly felt naked as everyone in
the room turned to look at me. I swallowed and faked a smile.
“ Bring out the goods,”
Mia shouted.
As all the students formed a circle
around me, making me piggy in the middle. One side of the circle
parted and two semi-naked girls walked through into the centre of
the circle and stopped in front of me. What the hell was going
on?
“ Now, Nathan, I’m
assuming you’re not gay?” Mia snickered.
I didn’t answer. All I did was look
straight past the two scantily clad girls.
“ Come with us,
Nathan.” one of the girls said, taking my hand.
“ Where… where are we
going?”
“ Somewhere more
private.” She winked at me and led me out of the circle.
I swallowed hard and followed. This was
going to end really, really bad.
Chapter
Fourteen
Charli
Frankie’s hands found
their way underneath my shirt, pushing it up. His hands were warm
but rough. While his lips were at my ear, his fingers found the
beginning of my bra, and they didn’t stop there. They crept up and
over my bra where they encountered the soft mounds of flesh that
were my breasts. Oh God, I hadn’t wanted anyone, or anything more
badly than I wanted this—him—right now. I moved a little to make
myself more comfortable.
“ Are you okay? Am I
squashing you?” he asked.
“ No. I’m fine. Don’t
stop, Frankie.” I pulled him back down against me. He kissed me
once more, and then moved back into a crouch. I thought he was
going to leave, so when I saw that he had only moved so he could
take off his shirt, I was excited.
“ Are you sure you want
this now?”
Was I sure? I don’t know. Did I want
it? Yes. Should I do it? No.
Again, I shut off my conscience and
listened to what my body wanted. I let Frankie strip me of my
clothes.
Nathan
The girls led me into a bedroom at the
end of a short hallway.
“ Nervous, sexy?” the
red head asked, stroking my arm. I shivered.
“ No.”
“ We can do this anyway
you want.” I almost smirked. That was what I sometimes said before
an interrogation.
“ What exactly are we
doing?”
“ It’s your lucky
night, sexy. What do you want to do?” Before I could protest, the
girl with the bleached hair ripped my shirt from my torso and
chucked it aside. As the red head began stroking my back, the
blonde began running her hands up and down my abdomen.
“ Mm. I like a man who
works out,” said the blonde.
“ Um… thanks. Look,
this isn’t really my scene. I have a girlfriend…”
“ Well, it’s her loss.
Isn’t it? She’s missing out on all the fun.” Before I knew what was
happening, the red head pushed me down on the single bed and
climbed on top of me.
Shit.
I had to get out of
here, and I needed to find Charli.
“ Jac, get me the
stuff,” said red head. The blonde, ‘Jac’, reached into the side of
her knickers and pulled out a small, transparent satchel of white
powder. Drugs. They were going to snort drugs in front of
me.
Raised Christian, and being a cop, I
was anti-drugs. Should I sound the alarm and blow my cover, or go
along
