Chapter 1: Introduction
Carmel licked his lips nervously, his eyes glued to the hypnotic dance of the stripper only a few feet away. "Jesus Christ, I can't believe we're doing this," he muttered, the alcohol in his system only adding to his jittery anticipation. He shot a sideways glance at Amit, his best friend and confidante, who'd managed to charm their way into this private show in an exclusive Istanbul club.
Amit simply grinned and shrugged, his gaze locked on the stripper's erotic movements.
"You wanted to forget about your failures, and I promised we would," he reminded Carmel, his voice low and seductive. He reached out, placing a hand on Carmel's shoulder, each of his fingers a stark contrast to the fragile bones beneath. "Besides, what's a little harmless pleasure to help heal a bruised ego?" Amit added, winking at Carmel, who couldn't help but crack a smile. It was true—his self-esteem had taken a beating after yet another girl had rejected him for his smaller-than-average endowment.
Carmel knew Amit was only trying to help, but little did he know that this trip to Istanbul would bring about an unforgettable encounter between them.
