Ana's POV

Everything was going as per plan. I finished my course and it was my last summer as intern. After internship, I had a full time job with regular pay and benefits lined up. I was so much looking forward to it, since I made this plan, after watching Mia and her family. The final part of the plan was to settle down somewhere and start searching for my dream prince, get married - have babies ... kiss and hug them till they get tired of me.

All these years, I was too busy to look at the boys and because I was still following Sally's conservative dress code, the boys had no reason to look at me. This way I was able to concentrate on my studies and career.

One advantage of growing up in a orphanage was that I had a nation wide network of brothers and sisters. When Cari came to know that I was coming to Vegas for internship, she made sure I was staying with her and we had a really good time.

Cari wanted me to ditch Sally's rules and start living life. She tried to lure me to her parties and even tried to put me in the dating game, but I managed to avoid all her plans. I promised her, to do everything she wanted for Halloween party, as it was supposed to be my last day in Vegas.

Cari went out of her way to make it special for me. She bought a gorgeous princess costume that included all the bells and whistles, to make one look like a princess. However the model picture on the costume showed a blonde girl and I was a brunette. She also arranged a blind date for me, a computer engineer, to take me to the party.

Halloween Day

I was still sleeping, as my last day of internship finished the day before and I had already packed all my things for my New York trip the next day.

Cari woke me up. "Honey, I am leaving for work, but you need to follow my instructions for today. Remember I own you for the day. You can have your beauty sleep, but you need to be at the spa by 2 PM. The spa's address is on the dining table." She whispered into my ear.

"Cari, I have never been to one and wouldn't know what to ask for?" I realized I didn't know the process.

"Don't worry, they know you are coming and I left the instructions with them. You just have to show up. Also after you are done, come to office by 7 PM. I am taking your costume with me. We will change there and I need to do the finishing touches on you." She gave me a sweet smile and left.

I was at the spa exactly at two and then for the next four hours, my body parts were pulled, tweaked, twisted, massaged and subjected to so many processes that I lost count. They didn't ask me a single question, but worked on every part of my body. Finally I was allowed to look into a mirror and I was shocked.

I actually didn't recognize myself and was searching for me. My hair was all blond and curly, just like the picture of the model princess. I couldn't believe I could look that amazing. Not sure what they did, but my face was glowing like those fashion models. I thanked them and stepped out, but realized I need time to adjust to my new appearance because of the looks I was getting.

It was almost seven, so I rushed to Carter towers where Cari worked. On the way, I picked up a cowboy hat from home, to cover my hair and face from the public. As soon as I reached Cari's office, we changed into costume and Cari put her special makeup on me. Most of the office folks left early, so she was alone that day in her department and we had the entire office to ourselves.

I looked into the mirror and was amazed at the transformation. I wouldn't recognize myself on the street. With the makeup, artificial eye lashes, blonde hair and the princess tiara, I looked completely different, just like a Disney Princess.

I looked at my dress and wasn't very comfortable, as it exposed too much cleavage and when I protested to Cari, she simply said, "You have been hiding them too long Ana, time to use them."

"Shut up Cari, Sin city has changed you."

Just then Cari's boyfriend Jose came in and informed that his father fell ill and he had to drive to hospital and he will come to the party after checking on his father.

"OMG! I will come with you. If everything is ok, we can join the party later." Cari offered.

"But your shift is till nine and you need to take Ana to the party."

"Ana, can you cover for me till nine and punch my time card before leaving for the party. No one should come at this time and if anyone asks just say you are a temp. Also cover yourself with this shawl and remove it after you reach the club. Don't want you to risk going out like this. Your date is Jon and will meet you at the club." Then she left with Jose. I sat in her office like Cinderella waiting for the clock to strike nine.

At nine pm, I punched her card wearing her hoodie, not looking at the overhead camera to make sure no one catches me in case someone checks and after dropping her hoodie in her office, I stopped by the rest room to check my makeup and costume, before going to the party.

As I was leaving the restroom, a lady ran straight into me and dropped her files.

"I am sorry. Are you okay?" I asked her after helping her pick up the files.

"Its okay. Actually it's my fault. I am in a rush and now I am more delayed. I need to pick up my daughter and it's already past nine pm and I still have one task pending." She was trying to put the papers in her file.

"Anything I can do to help?" I offered as I worked in similar type hotels and knew most of the tasks.

"Do you work here?" Her face brightened.

"I am a temp and if there is anything I can do, let me know and you can go ahead and pick up your daughter."

"Okay thank you so much. Just get these signatures from the penthouse folks and drop it in the finance department, so that they can finish billing." She placed the file in my hands and vanished.

I pulled the wrap around me and holding the file went towards the elevator banks to get to the penthouse.

After reaching the penthouse suite, I knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response, so I turned the door knob and peeked inside. A blast of loud music and air filled with cigarette smoke and alcohol hit me.

I stepped inside and wondered what was going on as all the people there were dressed in Roman attire. I felt as if I time travelled back five hundred years. I understood that a big Roman theme party was going on. There were lot of beautiful girls showing lot of skin and good looking dudes. Looked like all these folks stepped out of some fashion magazine.

I was trying to find a Paul McCartney, who had to sign the paperwork. One of the girls led me into another room where three gentlemen were huddled around couple of girls, joking and flirting with them.

"Hello Sir, are you Mr Paul McCartney? Can you sign this for me please?" I asked one of them hoping it was Paul.

"Fuck! Guys! our princess is here. Common babe we have been waiting for you." He lunged forward to give me a big hug. I got scared and stepped back.

"I am a temp and just need your signature here ..." Before I could finish, he took my file pad and threw it away.

"Common babe, you can stop the charade now, let's have some fun." He pulled my wrap before I could respond. The front of my costume also got torn a little, revealing more cleavage, so I tried to cover my chest with my hands.

"Shit! Fuck you! look at those knockers." All their eyes were on my cleavage. I realized the danger and turned around and started running towards the exit. The guys were behind me chasing. I forgot the way and was running all around the apartment looking for the main door. I looked at others for help but they were cheering, thinking it was some kind of game.

I was running and when I turned to look behind me, I slammed into something hard and found myself scooped up by two powerful arms. I sank deep into his chest and his strong deodorant clouded my senses.

"Why are you chasing my princess? " He asked the guys chasing me as they came to a stop in front of us. His voice was strong and deep. I looked up to see his face, but he was dressed like a Roman Emperor and had lot of makeup, a wig and crown, making it difficult to look at his features. He was strong and athletic as I could feel his strength.

"I thought you weren't interested in playing this game." One of the guys chasing me replied.

"I am now and want my princess to be treated with respect." He said and asked me "Are you ok? Do you need a drink?"

Before I could answer, he took me to the bar holding me by my waist and offered me a drink, which looked like some fruit cocktail.

"No, I am ok. I need to leave." I said looking doubtfully at the drink. I know, I should leave the place immediately, but the way he was holding me by my waist created unknown feelings and butterflies in my stomach.

"Its okay, nothing to worry about." he said still holding me and to prove to me, drank half the glass and offered me the rest. I gulped the drink as I was thirsty with all the running around.

"Looks like you are thirsty." He said and grabbed the entire pitcher and led me into another room closing the door with a back kick as soon as we entered in.

After noticing that it was a bedroom, my alarm bells went off. I quickly stepped away from him and tried to move towards the door.

He quickly latched onto my hand "Princess, you have my word, I will be a gentleman and won't do anything against your wishes. Just sit, talk and drink with me as I don't want to be part of the party next door."

I didn't know what to say, so sat down with him on the love seat and started drinking the cocktail juice.

"Princess! What are you doing here?" He asked and his eyes widened, implying it was not proper for me to be found in the current circumstance.

"Excuse me! You brought me here into this room!"

"I mean this party" he replied.

"I was just helping a friend. I didn't know there was a party going on"

"You mean you have nothing to do with rest of the girls out there?"

I thought of answering him, but I almost finished drinking the fruit cocktail and felt something warm creeping into my body. It was a different kind of feeling and I never felt it before. I thought being close to him was impacting my senses, so I got up and moved towards the windows.

As I moved closer to the window the blinds started opening and the lights got dimmer. Suddenly it was dark and the moment I peeked through the windows, my jaw opened in awe as the breathtaking night view of the famous Las Vegas Strip lay in front of me. It was amazing.

I was still trying to fight the feelings creeping into my body, when I felt his hands sliding around my waist. My heartbeat started racing and I had to slow down my breathing to keep me from falling down. I felt the urge to turn around and ravish him, but was trying to keep it under control. I quickly moved away from his grasp.

"I am sorry, I got carried away. I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to hug you." He sounded genuine.

"Its okay, I can use a hug." I couldn't believe I said that.

"Then what is the problem? "

"Sally doesn't approve me hugging strangers."

"Who is Sally? She did give you the right advice though."

"She is my sister and best friend."

"She is a good friend. Does she know you are here? Does she approve your costume?" He looked at my cleavage for a second.

"No, she wouldn't" I nodded my head looking at my feet rubbing the carpet with my toes.

"Fuck! My lovely princess! You look so cute with that pouty face, but it seems you did break lot of Sally's rules." He came and stood close to me and lifted my face with his index finger and looked into my eyes, when two tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Ohh...baby...please don't cry. It's ok to break one more rule." He wiped my tears, pulled me into his chest and hugged me, with his hands pulling me into his body. I felt like I waited a lifetime for this experience as I closed my eyes and melted in his arms letting him take control of my body and senses.

When I opened them again it was morning and I was naked in his arms with his hands over my body.

Currently. .

My flight was landing at JFK international and how much ever I tried I couldn't recollect what happened between those hours. Now I understood that the fruit cocktail was spiked and what ever happened, happened because of those drugs. Since he too drank some of it, I wasn't  sure if he was under the influence or not, but since it happened in his room, he was responsible and guilty for the act.
