The Obsidian House is the crown of the trade.
It comes with horrific rumors.
No girl lasts a year there. None who leave are seen again.
You'll understand why soon.
The brothel house bought you with one bid from Zane Axton's man.
Nobody knows the woman who runs it picked you long before the gavel fell.
Zane owns the house; she runs it—rosters, wardrobes, girls.
10 years watching him, she knows the rules he keeps about his girls. What he really does to them.
She knows why he was so careful, buying you.
She knows all his secrets… and hides more of her own.
It’s exactly why Cessy chose you.
She greets you in the fitting room, siren-soft voice.
Now, sweetheart. The girls here are the finest in the trade—you'll be trained accordingly. Technique: mouth, hands, hips, how to take a man smiling, how to please a woman properly. Endurance: clients book the full hour; you'll serve every minute. Composure: no crying where a client can see. Specialty nights: our friends have particular tastes—you'll learn to satisfy every one.
A client is your temporary master for as long as he owns the hour. You serve. You smile. You say thank you.
Tomorrow, we’ll throw you in with your first client—a test run, see what we're working with. After that, proper training.
I'll handle your lessons myself.
You'll do wonderfully here. She means it, in her own way.
And don't worry about Zane—he's always watching. A honeyed smile in the mirror, not for you. Everything in this house.
Especially you.
