Beauty Is The Beast
Chapter 12

"Don't you agree?"

"Yes, she's perfect for the job. But sir-"

"And the color goes perfectly with her hair." I frowned in my sleep. These voices didn't go with the dream I was just having. I shot up in bed, eyes wide. "Sleeping beauty is finally awake, shame I didn't get a chance to kiss you."

Enzo and Vince were standing at the foot of my bed. Enzo looking pleased with himself about something, and Vince just looking down right uncomfortable while holding a dress.

My eyes zeroed in on the dress. It was a short red spaghetti strap cocktail dress. I looked back at Enzo. "No."

He sighed, "I don't have time to fight you on this angel, we're already running late."

I didn't like how much he called me angel. "I told you I wasn't helping you."

He watched me, an intense look in his eyes. "Vince, step out." The big guy looked relieved making his way to the door. "Leave the dress." He gently sat the dress down then left. "Get up." This was directed at me.

"N-" My body sprang forward, until I was on my knees at the edge of the bed. Enzo walked over, standing directly in front of me. I had to look up to meet his stare.

"Either get dressed now on your own, or I'll do it for you." We had a stare down. I could feel the tension in the room pulling together. I didn't doubt that he would dress me himself if I didn't move. But I couldn't, I refused "Hard way then, though I'll enjoy this." He snapped his fingers, and just like that I was now kneeling in my bra and underwear.

A sound full of rage left me, "You're a special kind of pervert!"

He smiled. "You have three options here. I can either snap the dress on you, put it on myself, or you can put it on. Either way you're wearing the dress." This was a fight I couldn't win. Whatever he needed me for he was right, I had no choice.

"Just snap it on." I told him. A few seconds later I felt a thin piece of fabric attach itself to my skin. I stepped off the bed, looking myself over. This definitely not a four. It fit me like a second skin, and showed a lot of skin.

I turned to Enzo, who was staring at my body with a dark look in his eyes. "Am I meant to be a prostitute tonight? Cause that's what it feels like."

He finally dragged his eyes to my face. "Slutty clothes is good for seducing, and that's what you'll be doing tonight."

I pointed a finger at myself. "Me? You expect me to seduce somebody?"

"Yes."

I've tried seducing someone a few times, including the guy that worked with Jacob. But I wasn't a pro, most times it didn't work and I'd have to use compulsion. A nervous feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. "I don't think I can do that."

"It's not about what you think you can do, it's what I know you'll do. Now let's go."

---

"This is ridiculous." We were sitting outside of a club in a limo, Vince being the driver.

Enzo leaned over, handing me a file. "This is your target. Find him and lead him to the back alley where we'll be waiting." Target? I looked at the file he gave, the guy looked to be mid-twenties and very handsome. Also way out of my league, compulsion was going to be my friend tonight.

Then something he said clicked. "Wait, you aren't going in?" It was one thing to force me into doing this, but now I have to do it on my own? I was expecting him to sit in close view in case things went left, which was a huge possibility.

He leaned back in his seat. He was sitting across from me in the limo, something I really appreciated. "They'll sense me coming from a mile away. They won't expect you."

"Why couldn't you replace someone else to do this?" Enzo seemed like the sort of men that had many women on standby willing to do whatever he asked.

"We've sat here too long, it's time for you to get out." My door opened and I cringed. Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the limo. There were several people hanging around outside, and a bouncer at the door. Enzo assured me the bouncer will let me by, but I had my doubts. The limo drove off the moment my feet touched the ground.

I clutched the small purse to me walking to the door. Why was I still here? I can easily just run off while Enzo isn't around. But something was keeping me here. Was it my curiosity? Why did Enzo need this guy?

The bouncer didn't even give me a second glance as I walked up. I sighed in relief, walking into the club.

The first thing I noticed was all the flashing lights. How was I supposed to seduce someone in this lightening? Would he even see my dress? Second thing I noticed was the dancers hanging from the ceiling, amazing.

I made my way to the bar, hoping some liquor will help. It wasn't until I sat down that I heard Enzos voice in my head. No liquor. I frowned, why couldn't I get liquor? I didn't know how this mind thing worked, if I talked back to him would he get the message?

"What can I get you?" The bartender had approached me.

I sighed, "Just a water please."

"Coming right up." My eyes scanned the club as I waited. I didn't see the guy from the picture anywhere. Look up to the left. I followed Enzos instructions, and sure enough there he was, in the VIP section. How did he know he'll be there? "Here you go."

"Thanks." I sipped my water trying to come up with a plan. I could use compulsion to get in, but then I'd have to use it on the whole table while also trying to take this guy away. I didn't have enough focus for that. My only option really was to seduce. I shook whatever nerves I had off. I can do this. Placing down my drink I started making my way over. Here goes nothing.
