Solana couldn't believe where she was, who she was with, or what she was about to do with him. Here again, in Mexico City, one of the dirtiest, darkest, and sexiest cities in the world, with Carlos, one of the dirtiest, darkest, and sexiest people she'd ever met.
He wasn't a large man, and entirely bald, but he had thick, soft lips, piercing brown eyes, and a confident, powerful demeanor tinged with an aura of Latin caretaking that Solana found irresistible. She -- petite, brunette, American, naive -- had come all this way at Carlos's command, another paid holiday in Mexico after randomly meeting in Cabo San Lucas.
Each week they spent together here and there when he sent for her was more and more enjoyable -- Carlos dressing her in tight clothing, complimenting her, wining and dining her, allowing her to live a spoiled life of luxury.
Giving her orgasm after orgasm from his mouth, his fingers, his thick cock, even, it felt like, just his words.
He coaxed confessions of sexual fantasies out of her, things that made her blush with shame, things she made him promise never to repeat. Things that seemed to please Carlos more and more, when she whispered what she dreamed of with her face held into the pillow and his thumb in her ass.
And so she'd returned to visit him again, this time to go to a "special nightclub," he'd said.
And Carlos was leading her by a thin gold filament, nearly invisible, wrapping around her waist in a loop, one end a small gold circle that passed through a larger one, like a choke-chain, the final ring held the crook of one of Carlos's thick fingers. He could lead her easily this way, but gently, glamorously. Shimmering.
They walked up to the door of the club, and Carlos hesitated before opening the door, turning around to hold Solana by shoulder.
"If there's something you don't want, mi
amor,
you can give me the sign, but you must promise to try to remember what you're here for,
¿vale?
I want you to try to be good for me, OK,
gringa mia?"
Carlos looked into her eyes and held her gaze, expressing his wishes, these orders, like electricity. She nodded her head, just slightly, in wide-eyed, nervous assent. She saw a brief darkness pass like clouds across eyes as he added,
"I know you don't want to disappoint me, do you,
perrita
?"
Not only didn't Solana want to disappoint Carlos, she was almost a little afraid of doing so. Still, she knew Carlos wouldn't let her get into too much trouble, much less hurt. She was his little treasure, his exotic prize, his trophy from the north, right? He just wanted to show her off, share how proud he was... right?
As the two walked in, Solana suddenly felt self-conscious. She wasn't even sure at what kind of club or party they had arrived, but she knew she didn't fit in.
There seemed to be many couples here, drinking, talking, almost all mostly attractive and well-groomed, the women with dark eyes ringed with kohl, jet black hair in slinky ponytails and bouffants and, to a one, very, very high heels. There were also more than just a few slightly-sleazy-looking single Latin men, complete with gold chains, bloodshot eyes and slicked-back hair. Solana felt a chill, hoping Carlos wouldn't leave her alone with one of
those
losers.
"Let me get you a drink, pet," Carlos said, turning to her. "A vodka, yes?"
Solana thanked him with her eyes, and as she opened her mouth to elaborate, Carlos quickly put a finger to her lips. "Shhhh,
gatita
. No speaking. I already know what you want."
He leaned in, and, closing his eyes, took her lower lip between his teeth. Slowly, softly, he began to suck, pulling it away from her face both firmly and tenderly, ending with a soft snap as he released it and looked back into her eyes.
"
Espéra aqui. No te mueves. No hables. Con
nadie
. ¿Me entienedes?"
Wait here. Don't move. Don't talk. With
anybody
. Understand?
Solana nodded again.
"
Beuno, brasas a la espalda."
Good. Hands at your back .
Obeying without protest, Solana dutifully clasped her hands behind her, and leaned slightly back against the pillar for support. Unblinking and unsure, she watched Carlos walk away from her and toward the bar. She had been left, all alone! She counted on him coming back, but still, could not be sure. She felt scared and remarkably out of place, but still, dared not move from her position at this pillar.
Finally, she snapped out of her slight stupor. Blinking and looking around, she was quickly approached by a dark-skinned man, handsome and well-groomed, not too tall but not neither very short, neither thin nor fat, with a slight 5-o'clock shadow. He was wearing a white button-down shirt with what looked like expensive cufflinks. He drank from a green-tinted bottle of beer, and looked her up and down, sucking air in through his teeth with a vulgar sound as he appeared to be examining her.
"Hola, mami,"
he sad, and continued on in Spanish. "Are you here all by yourself?"
Solana understood him well enough, but knew she must not speak. As much as it went against her nature to stay silent, she simply shook her head,
"No,"
holding his gaze for a brief second, before, wondering if gestures and eye contact violated Carlos's "rules", just as fast averted her eyes and looked back down towards the floor.
"Ah, no?" the man asked, sipping from his bottle once again, leaning against the wall with one arm up against it, alongside her, moving in closer. "Who are you here with? Your boyfriend?"
Without looking up, Solana made a small motion with her chin toward the bar, her gaze just barely leaving the floor. The man turned around to look, then returned back to Solana.
"Ah. Carlos? And he left you, here? All alone?
¿Eh
,
mamí?
"
Solana nodded, never bringing her eyes up, her fingers nervously tapping the wall behind her. The man took his beer bottle and slowly ran it down the side of her face.
"Such a pretty girl, all alone, in a place like this," he cooed, both sweet and menacing, moving the bottle down her neck, dripping the condensation down, down her neck, then along her exposed chest toward her cleavage.
"What a shame,
mamí
