"I didn't have much money but I had a dream. To one day open a place like this. Where everyone's sexual desires can be fulfilled, free of judgement or shame. Since sex was all I ever knew, it was only fair I gained from it, right? But singing and dancing sensually at bars was not going to start an establishment like this. I needed a big break, and all the men that could give me that, were married. I never did married men. Never! Women suffer enough as it is. I wouldn't ever add to another woman's suffering. If I wasn't going to be gaining from the married men that came to watch me with their lascivious tongue wagging like the dirty dogs they were, I would steal from them. And soon, I grew a reputation. But it still wasn't enough."
She paused to catch her breath, and smoke from her pipe.
Valentina watched her, still very much fascinated by everything she stood for.
She took a sip of the wine, feeling lightheaded already.
Madam looked at her, and cracked a smile.
