Friday night. Masked night. The richest men all over the world fly over to spend one night with us. Only us girls wear masks, not the men. It's the mysteriousness they like about it.

I spot him, walking through the red suede curtains into the real brothel. It's Shawn Mendes, he's here. He's at our brothel.

It surprises me he's at a brothel in the first place, with his amazing reputation and all, and in London of all places?

Stop it, Celina, it's not your job to ask questions.

I turn to look at Sky, she was just talking about him this morning. I see her smiling at me out of the corner of my eyes.

'We got a very special guest today, Cee. New client. Make sure he has a good time. You're the best we have.' Elijah whispers to me, looking over his shoulder..

12 hours earlier

I would have never imagined that sleeping with men for money would be my future, my job. People become teachers, lawyers, doctors, but I became a high-end prostitute and the thing is, I absolutely love my job.

Most of the women I work with have a "stage name", I don't. It's too confusing. My name is Celina and every time I try to pick a name I regret it, so I just decided to use the first letter of my name. Everyone calls me "Cee" and I quite like it.

'Oh my god!' I shout when one of my clients thrust into me.

Not even ten seconds later he comes and spills into the condom.

Well, that was disappointing... I didn't even finish.

He slides out of me and I sit up, looking at him with a fake smile. I just want to get paid. He removes the condom from his cock and throws it away in the trash bin. He is always so rude. Such a shame he's a regular and likes me of all girls. Horrible.

The old man grabs his wallet out of his pocket and gives me my money. I wait for him to leave before grabbing my long black robe to cover myself up. I put my panties back in their place and straighten my hair with my hands.

The hallways of the big castle are long and beautiful. It's noon and I'm really hungry. I wander down the stairs to the common area to grab something to eat. I put my bra in its place and remove my high black heels. My feet hurt like hell.

'Mia!' I shout at the top of my lungs when I enter the big room.

I look around, thank god everything is as clean as I left it.

There is one big kitchen for all the girls that live here with me. We cook, we eat, we laugh, we dance, this room is just our safe place. There also is one long table where at least fifteen people can eat together. The curtains are open and I think Mia opened a window to air the place.

'Celina!' She shouts back.

We always act this crazy. We saw each other this morning, but if you would see us from a distance you would think we last saw each other ages ago.

'Where is my twenty per cent?'

Elijah - my boss - walks in and throws the door open. Mia starts to yell at him and he immediately apologises. He really needs to stop breaking doors. The worst thing is, he doesn't even do it on purpose! We had the kitchen door replaced seven times. Seven times!

'Man, I just got it. Can I at least enjoy it for a moment?' I say.

'Pay up.' He holds his hand out.

I chuckle and shake my head, taking the cash out of my bra. I count three hundred pounds and hand it to him.

'You're a fucking blood-sucker.'

'Oh please! The twenty per cent I ask from you girls doesn't even begin to cover the spendings of this place.' Elijah sits down next to me.

'Maybe you shouldn't spend so much money then!' Mia exclaims, flipping her grilled cheese.

'If I don't spend a lot of money, how the hell am I going to keep this place up and running? Do you have any idea how much money I spend on cleaners?!' Elijah says.

'Well, I'm not going to clean up shit. That's not part of my job.' I say, already getting annoyed.

'I didn't say you had to, Cee.' He says with a soft voice.

Elijah, my saviour. He is like our protector, always keeping us safe. Yes, he is our boss, but he's the best boss you could ever wish to have. He takes care of us, makes sure we're treated right and because of him, I earn a shit ton of money.

'Everyone stop!' Sky screams, running into the kitchen.

She is holding a big speaker in her hand. Sky looks at me with an evil grin. Oh god, she's going to play her music again. She has such a terrible music taste.

'I just discovered this singer called Shawn Mendes and oh my god!' She slams the speaker onto the table. 'All his songs are amazing! He released a new album a few months ago and listen to it. Listen!'

The music starts and for the first time I don't hate it, I actually quite like it.

"Put my hands around you, ooh, teach me how to... Touch you, tease, caress you, and please you, teach me how to love." He sings.

'I could teach him how to love.' Sky raises her eyebrow with a smirk and we all laugh.

'That's my cue to leave.' Elijah stands up. 'Oh and girls.' He opens the door.

'Remember, it's Friday. You'll have a whole lot of new clients tonight.'

Oh, I'm really hoping to get a two-day job. I need some money to spend. I need to buy some new clothes. I spend a shit ton of money on lingerie and I need to send my grandpops money, it's been a while since I had a two-day job.

Mia puts a plate in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. The amazing smell of grilled cheese fills my senses and I close my eyes for a moment.

'Just eat, Cee. It's not going to kill you.' Mia says.

I smile at her, taking a bite. The crust crunches and the cheese tastes so good. It's been a while since I ate Mia's grilled cheese for the last time.

I finish it and put my plate in the sink, returning to the dormitory in the east wing. I walk through the bar and take my robe off before walking through the doors. I wink at one of the girls when she sits down on a man's lap.

'Can I fuck her?' One man shouts, pointing at me.

'No!' Elijah shouts back. 'Learn some manners. Plus, she's not working right now.'

I run to the next door and walk through it, rushing through the hallways to the dormitory to change my clothes.

The hot shower relaxes my muscles and I grab my phone before going outside through the back door. I use Elijah's car to drive myself to the city centre. When I arrive, I park the car and inhale the toxic air of London city.

The day passes by in ease, it feels amazing to visit the city once in a while after a rough - quite literally - week in the brothel.

Tomorrow is my day off and I'll try to visit my grandpops to give him the money I earned today and hopefully tonight.

I buy pizza and drive to a nearby lake to eat it while listening to some music. I look Shawn Mendes up and decide to listen to some of his songs.

His face pops up on my screen and I look at him, wow, he's really hot. I understand why Skylar wanted to teach him how to love. I laugh at my own thoughts, putting my phone away.

The lake is very silent today, with no birds to be found. The blue water reminds me of the small lake we have by the castle - Elijah's castle.

When his parents died and he inherited the estate he decided to turn it into a luxury brothel, determined to make a lot of money and he did.

He's always been an outcast, no one in his family likes him or enjoys his presence for that matter. I love him. He saved me. Took me off the streets, welcomed me in his home, tried to keep me away from the nightlife as much as possible.

Sadly, I've always been a night owl and those women have always interested me. I was fifteen years old when he found me, most of us were fifteen years old, living a shitty life or wandering the streets.

My phone rings, pushing the memory away. It's Elijah. I have to go back, he has to discuss some new rules with us to make sure there will be no chaos tonight.

'Seven Purple Rooms, six Black Rooms, three Red Rooms and one Blue Room.' He says, pacing around in the kitchen.

'I have no idea how we are going to do this.' He rubs his temples.

'What? Why? It's just like every other Friday.' Mia says.

'No! It's getting busier and busier. The regulars are starting to bring friends and the horny bastards cannot wait to sleep with one of the girls. It causes trouble, since you're with seventeen and they're with a whole lot more.' Elijah says.

'You can do selections.' I say.

'What do you mean?'

'Status, money, contacts, access.'

He frowns.

'You mean we're going to select which clients are allowed to get in on Friday?'

'Yes.' I look at my hands. 'I mean, you already do a background search on any of our clients. You check their net worth, contacts, if they're shady or have an abusive past you never let them in. Just because regulars bring friends does not mean those friends are trustworthy.'

He nods, letting my words sink in before showing me a big smile. Oh, I love it when he smiles. He walks to me and presses a kiss on my head, laughing. I love to make him happy.

'Amazing!' He claps.

'Ah, shit. You are not going to like this.' He says.

'We are not going to like what?' Mia says with a snarky tone.

'From now on clients will pay me. I will withdraw my twenty per cent and pay you your money after. It's easier that way and way more controllable.'

Everyone starts to raise their voices. He looks at us, not knowing who to listen to. I stay silent, I have no idea what to say to that anyway. Yes, it sucks, but he's right. It's easier that way. I just hope it will not take long for me to get my money because I need it.

Just an hour before we open, everyone is running through the dormitory to look their best. I put on black and red lace lingerie with tights, it suits my mask.

Ten minutes left. I hear the expensive car engines roaring outside the castle and look in the mirror one last time, making sure my hair and makeup is flawless. Mia puts her hand on my shoulder, standing next to me in the mirror.

'Don't be nervous.' She says.

I nod, wrapping my arms around her. It's strange, it always feels like I have to perform, causing me to get nervous even though I do it almost every night.

I place my mask over my eyes, opening my eyes as Mia ties the strings together at the back of my head.

We walk down to the main entrance and wait for Elijah to join us, the lovely host of our brothel.

Every girl takes her place next to the stairs, standing in a perfect triangle with Elijah standing in front of us. I'm at my usual spot at the top of the pyramid, standing right behind Elijah. My hands behind my back and my legs spread a little.

The air is cold today and I catch myself daydreaming until the big red curtains are pushed aside by one of the security guards, nodding at Elijah to tell him the clients will enter soon.

'Welcome gentlemen!' He spreads his arms.

My eyes are fixated on the red curtains, I wonder who will walk in here today. I'm really hoping there is at least one guy without a wrinkled face and grey hair.

The first few men walk in and I spot one man towering above all of them. His hair is dark and his silhouette is beautiful. Finally, someone who isn't old. Why do I have the feeling I've seen him before?

'You are welcome to go to the living room, get a drink at the bar and one of the girls will be with you shortly.' Elijah's voice echoes through the hall.

The sound of men laughing and chatting fills the space and most of them make their way to the "living room" as Elijah calls it.

My eyes are still focused on the tall man who finally steps into the light. My eyes widen and his beautiful dark eyes meet mine, causing me to look at the ground. I know him. It is Shawn Mendes. 

So here goes the first chapter of my new fanfic. It's a whole new experience to write a book like this, but I really wanted to try this. I hope you like it and let me know what you think.
