The CEO's Painted Skin

She halted her steps at the entrance of the venue...

Catherine still hesitating to go back inside afraid that John will get angrier if he knows that she didn't go home early but continue to party with her friends the rest of the night. But she can't abandon Sherry, her friend was still enjoying the night with them. She can't be a killjoy!

Jerome answered his cell phone, it was Mark calling. "Yes, we're here outside. Okay, we will go upstairs now!"

"Catherine, they're upstairs dancing in the dance floor. They already reserved a table for us. Come on, let's go back inside!"

She stood rooted on the spot still undecided to go back inside or go home. John's voice ordering her to go home was echoing in her mind.

"Come on now! Let's just stay one more hour then will go home. Promise!" said Jerome trying hard to convince her to the point of pleading.

Catherine relented and went back inside the venue together with Jerome. They went upstairs and found Mark and Sherry sitting in the table near the entrance of the disco bar. The multicolored disco lights were flashing everywhere around the room bathing the clubbers with an electrifying vibe. People were dancing in the dance floor to the beat of the modern pulsating disco music, Sherry pulled Catherine into the dance floor.

Mark and Jerome were talking while looking at the girls dancing.

"Bro, I have to do it tonight!" said Jerome.

"Why?" asked Mark puzzled by his changed of mind.

"Her boyfriend is angry that she hangs out with us. He wants Catherine to go home early tonight, thankfully I was able to persuade her to come back inside. She will be going home at 9:00 PM tonight, we only have one hour and thirty minutes left to execute my plan," explained Jerome.

"But we can always invite them again next time," said Mark.

"There will be no next time bro, his boyfriend forbid her to go out with us the second time around. So tonight is the only chance I got. You take care of Sherry and send her home safely, while I take care of Catherine," said Jerome in a determined voice.

"Okay. Good luck bro!"

"You can join them in the dance floor while I order drinks for us," said Jerome.

Mark rose to his feet and joined the girls on the dance floor. While Jerome went to the bartender and ordered drinks for them. He ordered margarita drinks for the ladies. Done with his order he brought the drinks to their table and secretly poured the drugs into Catherine's drinks. All he needs to do is to make sure that the drinks won't get switched in the process or else Sherry might drink the glass that had the drugs on it.

Mark was looking at him and he gives him a thumbs up signal. The trio got tired dancing in the dance floor, so they decided to have a rest and went back to their table, Mark drink from his glass and Sherry also took a sip from her glass. Catherine was just staring at the margarita glass in front of her.

"Is that a wine? I don't drink alcohol Jerome," she whispered. She remembered that every time John would give her a glass of wine, she would strip her clothes she might do shameless act inside the disco bar.

Fuck! Jerome swore profanities to himself.

Mark must have heard what Catherine had said because he and Jerome exchanged glances.

Jerome still got more drugs in his backpack. "It's okay Catherine, I will just order a soda for you." He rose to his feet and brought back the margarita with him, he detours into the comfort room and poured the drinks into the bowl. He walked back to the bartender's area and brought a soda, he went inside the restroom poured another sachet into the bottle of soda. He exited the restroom, he walked casually into the table and put the soda in front of Catherine.

Catherine was about to drink the soda but her cell phone rings again she put back the soda into the table. She retrieves her mobile device from her shoulder bag and answered the call.

"Yes, John...I can't hear you!" she said aloud.

"Get out of that venue, go outside so that you can hear me clearly!" ordered John.

Jerome closed his eyes feeling angry, he was not breathing when Catherine's fingers were finally touching the soda bottle only to put it back into the table because she answered her damn phone! She answered her damn infuriating boyfriend!

She stood up and sauntered to the main door to go downstairs...

Jerome sighed deeply totally exasperated! He picked up the soda and followed Catherine down the stairs and outside.

He found her near the entrance of the bar still talking to her boyfriend in her cell phone. They seemed to be arguing, he saw her tensed face and her knuckles gripping hard on her mobile device.

"John, just a few more minutes okay? I promised I will go home now!" she scratched her head agitated.

"Yes, am going back inside to asked Sherry to go home now. Okay, I will call you later after am home. Bye, I love you!" said Catherine. She put her mobile device back into her shoulder bag.

When Jerome give the soda to Catherine, she took the bottle and drank all the contents of the bottle to Jerome's delight.

Jerome was watching her under his eyes, his dark orbs were glowing with excitement! Wow! She finally drank the soda along with the drugs! 'Awesome!' he told himself.

They went inside the venue, She climbs the stairs wanting to find Sherry, but their table was already empty and the dance floor was currently filled with couples dancing to the sweet music. She spotted Mark and Sherry on the center of the dance floor, the room was now a bit dimmer due to the absence of flashing lights.

Catherine sat down on the chair, she will wait for Sherry to finish her dance so that they can go home now.

Jerome was watching her face intently looking for any sign of weakness.

A few moments later, she placed her shoulders in the table and made it as a pillow and lay down her head on it as if in the process of sleeping. Jerome smiled broadly.

"Catherine, are you sleepy?" he whispered into he ears.

She opened her eyes a little and mumbled. "Yesss..."

"You want to dance?" he asked again.

"No. I am sleepy. I wanna go home," she said in a weak voice and closed her eyes to sleep.

Ten minutes later...

Suddenly Catherine's cell phone rings again. Furious, Jerome looked for her mobile device inside her shoulder bag, when he saw that it's John who was calling he turn it off.

Jerome called his contact the taxi driver and gave him his current address so that they can be pick up ASAP! He runs his hands on Catherine's long tresses, down on her back and lowers down to her soft bottom, he massages it a bit, she was not moving. Is she really sleep now? Fuck! he was getting aroused. The room was darker and other people were busy with their own business. He edges closer to Catherine and he began caressing her breast under the table, she still not moving and her eyes were closed, he was grinning from ear to ear! He suddenly grows a boner down between his legs.
