Chapter 32 Summary: “Dominic”

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes sexual content and sexual harassment.

Dominic overhears Ally talking to Faith on the phone at work and deduces that she’ll be dancing at Club Ladies and Gentlemen that evening. When he sees her get up on stage, he hopes she’ll back out of the dance. He still doesn’t understand why she’s this desperate for money. After her dance ends, he tells someone on staff he wants to be with her in a private room.

Chapter 33 Summary: “Ally”

Ally panics when she hears that someone wants a private dance with her. A staff member explains that the customer paid $5,000 for the dance; half the money will go to the club and half will go to Ally. Ally agrees to the arrangement because she needs the money and because the customer isn’t allowed to touch her. If he oversteps his bounds, she can have the bouncer remove him. In the room, she’s horrified to discover Dominic is the customer. She doesn’t want to take his money but gives him the dance anyway. The two end up engaging in sexual foreplay and Ally brings Dominic to climax. She leaves immediately afterward.
