Baring it All (part 31) Fast Cash "Is that all you can give me?" Monica asked the pawn clerk. "Yes Mam" he'd said. Monica was in need of some cash and quick. Claude had been out of work for 3 weeks and with the club being closed down she was having a hard time making ends meet for the both of them. She'd thought the ring and band would bring more than the $500 dollars cash the clerk was offering.She was sure they had to be worth at least 2 grand. "How about $800" she asked the man behind the counter. "$650 is as high as I'll go" he said. Monica sighed. That would not even cover rent. "I'll take it" she said reluctantly. She didn't think she had any other choice. The man took the rings into the back to get her cash. Monica was surprised when Tori came out of the back instead. Monica had always been attracted to Tori but he never paid any of the dancers any attention. She assumed it was because he was married. As he walked sexily towards her she allowed her eyes to wander up and down his muscular body. He was dressed casually in jeans and a loose shirt. As he approached the counter he motioned for Monica to join him in the back.He unlocked the gate and led her inside. Without speaking she followed him into the back room. He pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. His hands explored every inch of her body. He squeezed her breast through her blouse hardening the nipples with his thumbs. Tori picked her up and sat her on the edge of a table raising her dress. In one smooth motion he unzipped his pants releasing his massive dick. Monica gasped at the sight of it. Tori trailed his tongue down her neck kissing and sucking her flesh. He pulled her to the edge of the table and slid his dick inside her. Then he lifted her off the table onto his dick and forcefully began to rise her up and down on it. She put her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his back as he continued to fuck her. He held her ass cheeks firmly in his hands and he slid her up and down on his dick. He called her name over and over. "Monica. Monica." "Monica? Tori tapped on the glass separating the lobby from the back area. "Did you hear me?" Monica snapped out of her fantasy and answered him. "Hey Tori. What are you doing here?" she asked trying to sound friendly. "My uncle owns this shop. I've been helping him out since the club has been closed." he answered. "Good for you. I definitely should have taken a part-time gig myself. I hope Marcus decides to open back up soon." she said. Tori nodded his head. "I didn't know you were married." Tori said. "What? I'm not, what makes you think I'm married" she said obviously confused. Tori held up the rings. "Oh, uh. Those belonged to my mother." She lied. Tori recognized the rings. He wasn't sure when or where he'd seen them before but he knew that he had. The diamond was a distinctive shape with an intricate band. He slowly counted the money out into Monica's hands. "I guess I'll see you at work next week. It's a shame what happened to Lisa but I'll be glad to get back to normal." she said as she walked out the door. Lisa! Suddenly Tori remembered where he'd seen the rings. He'd seen them on Lisa. The Sunday before she died he'd run into her at Starbucks. She'd told him she was on her way to church. He remembered how beautiful she'd looked in her lavender dress. She'd pulled her hair back into a classy chignon and Tori could not help but admiring her. As she waved good-bye he'd notice the rings. He'd meant to ask her if she'd gotten married but then that awful scene happened at the club and the next day Lisa was dead. Tori walked into the back of the shop wondering what Monica was doing with Lisa's rings. He checked the shops stolen list they received from the police department weekly. They were not listed. He thought of calling the police but decided against it. He knew they had arrested Lisa's husband for her murder so what was the point. Still he decided to make a visit to Monica later that evening.
