Susie's Strip-o-Rama

Oxnard, California

9:30 pm

Lilah looked up at the flashing neon sign with a frown of distaste, this was not where she expected to find the person she was looking for, considering what he had accomplished as a member of the Slayer's support team.  But the photograph showed the man she needed to find, and she wondered just what Alexander Harris was doing working as a stripper?   Granted, the pictures showed a well-muscled body, and the posing pouch proved he had absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, but why did he return here?  

And the witch, she had more than enough skill that any of the teams of 'white hats' would have loved to recruit both of them.    It seemed out of character for both of them to just walk away from the fight, and Lilah didn't like things that were out of character, it meant that she was missing information, and that was never a comfortable feeling for a lawyer.   And when she worked for Wolfram and Hart, lacking information could mean far more than just losing a client, it could mean meeting the Senior Partners far sooner than anybody would want!

Walking in the doors, she paused to pay the $20 cover charge, surprising the woman at the window by asking for a receipt.   If they thought she wasn't going to expense every single thing she paid for, the bean counters in accounting were out of their thrice-damned minds!   She didn't really want to be in a place so vulgar at all, but she had a job to do and was going to do it.  Not that she had any problem at all with enjoying the naked bodies of men or women, but she preferred it to be in a less plebeian atmosphere, but, needs must.  

Walking toward the showroom, she paused as a poster caught her eye, it was advertising an exclusive show featuring 'Alex' and 'Ashley' for later that night, and the two of them were the people she was seeking.  Seeing the pictures, her eyebrow raised as they left absolutely no doubt just what sort of show they would be putting on.   

The central picture showed 'Ashley' in bondage, with 'Alex' standing behind her, a flogger in his hand poised to strike, and the expression on the witch's face showed the mixture of pleasure and anticipation she'd seen on her own face several times.   It had been far too long since she'd allowed herself to unwind enough to find a partner who could give her what she needed, but she always enjoyed watching the videos of her adventures.   She didn't keep them on her computer, naturally, they were all locked up in the hidden compartment of her closet, she wasn't going to let the Managing Directors learn about her desires, they would just use it to gain more leverage over her. 

Turning back, she purchased a ticket to the exclusive show as well, reasoning that she'd have a better opportunity to speak to the two of them afterward in a less crowded environment.    The woman at the window actually handed her a receipt without being asked, earning a smile and a nod from Lilah.

The hostess, an attractive redhead who had a name tag reading 'Veronica' showed her to a seat near the front of the stage.  Sitting down, she ordered a glass of white wine from Cleo, her eyes admiring the black girl's figure as she walked away.  The girl actually felt her interest and turned back slightly, giving her a wink!   'That was interesting,' Lilah thought, 'the girl was far more aware of herself and her surroundings than most people, does she know about what's out there?'   

Sitting back in her seat, she glanced around the room and had to admit that it was a great deal classier than she'd expected from the exterior.   The seats were all comfortable and very well maintained, and the tables between the seats were polished smooth, not scuffed and scarred as she'd seen in other clubs.   The wait staff was dressed in revealing outfits, but not trashy, there were no torn fishnets or Daisy Dukes in evidence, and the staff all gave off a happy and healthy attitude, which was very different from the other clubs she'd had to visit.     She wasn't sure just how they managed it, but this club was getting more interesting by the minute!     

Cleo arrived back with her wine, and she paid the girl, sliding an extra five into her garter as a tip, which got a surprisingly genuine smile from the girl, who said, “Thanks miss, always appreciated.  You don't look familiar, have you been here before?”

Lilah shook her head, it wouldn't do any harm to let the girl know why she was here after all. “No, this is the first time I've been here, and I'm actually here mostly on business.  I'm a lawyer with a firm in LA, and we are handling the estate of a young woman who died last year.  The primary beneficiary is working here and I need to speak to him to set up a time to meet privately.”

Cleo looked at her searchingly, “It's Alex, isn't it?  He and Ash talked about their partner Anya who died when Sunnydale went under.”

Lilah looked at the girl with mild surprise, "You seem to know the two of them quite well if they spoke about something that personal with you." 

The girl gave a throaty chuckle, “Miss, after the number of nights I've spent in their playroom and their bed, there'd be something wrong with me if I didn't know the two of them!  I see that you have a ticket for their show later, and I'm going to let you know that what they show on the stage is tame compared to how they really are.   Alex is a true dominant, and Ashley is a switch but she always submits to Alex, and when the two of them team up on one of the girls here, she's useless the next day.   But damn, the smile on her face has to be seen to be believed.   Half the girls here have been with them, and I think the only reason they stick around is they enjoy the variety.”

“You're being surprisingly open to somebody you've just met, why is that?” Lilah demanded, her gaze holding the other girls' eyes.

“Because Dru said you have a part of your own to play before things are done, and we've learned to trust her, she's rarely wrong.  But you have a choice to make, so be careful.”  Lilah felt her blood turn to ice in her veins, and suddenly wanted nothing more than to leave, the Anyanka's bequests be damned!  

Cleo said, “I don't know exactly what she was saying, although from your reaction I'd say you have a very good idea.  And you're smart if Dru scares you, she can be very scary at times.  And she's absolutely devoted to Alex and Ashley, if she thinks you're trying to hurt them, well, I don't like your chances.  Just a word of friendly advice.”

Picking up her tray, the girl said in a softer tone, “If you happen to make the right decision, I'm not against the idea of spending some time with you, but make sure you know what you want to do first, we've got rules about who we play with outside the family.”

Lilah stared blindly at nothing for a long moment after Cleo walked away, wondering just what in Satan's name she'd walked into?  Her contract should prevent her from being turned by Drusilla, but the idea of being drained by the insane vampire was still something she would prefer to avoid if at all possible.    And what the hell was she doing associating with Alexander?  One of the core parts of his personality was his absolute hatred of all vampires, there is no way that he should be willing to accept her into his circle, let alone his bed if she understood what Cleo was implying. 

Lifting the glass of wine to her lips, she took a small sip, bracing herself for a poor quality drink, only to be surprised when it actually tasted like one of the better white's she'd enjoyed at Holland's parties.  She winced, that was something else to worry about, it was Drusilla and Darla who had slaughtered Holland and the rest that night, Lilah still didn't know why she and Lindsey were spared.  And that bothered her a great deal.  She knew that Darla enjoyed toying with Lindsay but why did Drusilla stare into her eyes and then keep moving?

She was pulled out of her memories by the music ending and a woman's voice coming over the speakers, "Thank you, Scarlett!  She'll be making the rounds in a few minutes ladies and gents, so get ready to get a lap dance or two from her, you know you want to!   And now, the one you ladies have been waiting for, please put your hands together and welcome Alex back to the main stage!" 

The room practically exploded with applause and wolf whistles from the women in the showroom, and the stage went dark, except for a spotlight on the back curtain.  There was an instant of silence from the speakers before a thunderous STOMP! STOMP! CLAP!, STOMP! STOMP! CLAP! Came pouring out, and the curtain parted, showing his figure as he strode onto the stage.   She had to smirk at the audacity of dancing to “We Will Rock You”, but he actually seemed to be pulling it off.    Alexander was dressed as a construction worker, although the cutaway jeans weren't something you would see on a normal construction site.   

He worked the stage, his eyes seeming to catch each of the women in the front row before moving on, and Lilah was actually feeling a bit impressed, he was dancing rather well, moving with the music and not against it, and timing his gestures with the beat of the drum as he unbuttoned his work shirt, exposing the white 'wife beater' t-shirt underneath.   

Almost unwillingly, she found herself leaning forward in her seat, there was something about him almost drawing her in, and she forced herself back, concentrating on what was going on.  There was nothing in Alexander's files that suggested any form of control or enticement abilities, so why was she suddenly wetter than she'd been in years?  Sure, he was attractive, the lean muscles filling out the costume extremely well, but she'd had attractive men before and they didn't affect her this way.   

She narrowed her eyes, rubbing the ring that was resting on her middle finger, and there was nothing out of the ordinary about Alexander's aura, no magic in effect, he showed as completely human, although there was the slight primal overlay from that incident with the hyena's.  That shouldn't be affecting her and the other women the way he was!   

Lilah was so focused on what she was seeing that she jerked in surprise when a soft hand touched her on the arm.  Twisting in her seat, she gasped at the sight of the attractive blonde smirking at her.  “Darla?  You're dust! You can't be here, it's impossible.  I watched as Lindsay dusted you years ago!”

The blonde chuckled, “Nothing is impossible, dear girl, not when the Greater Gods get involved.  You're wondering why you are reacting to our darling boy the way you are, and I can tell you it's nothing he's doing deliberately.   He was touched by Aphrodite and a few of the other Goddesses of love and lust years ago, and he's had their favor ever since.   It was Aphrodite's intervention that brought me back, and I'm completely human now, by the way, because she felt that Alexander and his ladies could use my help, and I haven't regretted an instant of my decision!   After the mediocre at best skills of Angelus, feeling a powerful man pounding me into oblivion is an amazing feeling!”

Lilah just stared at woman, her mind racing as she absorbed the massive shock she'd received, the Gods were involved with Alexander?  And they were bringing vampires back to life? Did the Senior Partners know about this, and if they did, why didn't she get any warning?   And why in the hell is she picturing herself lying under Alexander as he shoved his cock into her soaking cunt? 

Darla chuckled, “I may be a human again, but I still have the senses, and your arousal is almost intoxicating, dear girl.   You want him, which isn't a surprise, you know, deep inside, that he can give you just what you need, a strong master that will let you take the mask off and let out the desires you've kept hidden from almost everyone.   And, if you are willing to let the mask drop, they can get you free of that contract you foolishly signed.  Personally, I've experienced their dimension, and wouldn't recommend it as a vacation spot for anyone!”

Lifting the wine glass in a shaking hand, Lilah managed to take another sip before putting the glass down on the table.  "What makes you think I want what you are talking about?  And those contracts are ironclad, nobody gets free of the Firm, they make Bendini, Lambert, and Locke look like Mackenzie, Bracken!" 

Darla laughed, honest amusement in her voice, "Do you really think minor demons, and yes, the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart truly are minor demons in the hierarchy of the Seven Hells, can stand against the truly divine? Especially when they have the approval of the One Above All?   They were the ones who restored Drusilla's soul and sanity among other gifts they provided, after all." 

“What's somebody like that doing, working as a stripper?  Shouldn't he be building churches and performing miracles?” She managed to sneer, trying to force down the spark of hope flickering deep inside her.

“What makes you think he isn't?  A lot of the girls here were badly damaged, abuse, drugs, the usual stories, but he's healed them all, and if you were to take a closer look, almost all the dancers are wearing Aphrodite's symbol somewhere, usually as a charm on a bracelet, but a few of us have her tattoo in a more intimate location.   Why do you think that the girls are all so happy?  I know you noticed it when you arrived, you're not as good at hiding your emotions as you might think.”

“That doesn't explain why he's working as a stripper though,” Lilah retorted, “And yes, I did wonder about how different this club is from others I've seen, and if he can actually heal the emotional and physical damage these girls were dealing with, that would explain it, I suppose.”

“He's working here because he enjoys it, it's where he and Tara, or Ashley if you prefer, first met, as you well know.   We're all enjoying a bit of a holiday after closing the Sunnydale Hellmouth last year.  Losing Anya hurt all of us, and we needed time to recover before they need us again.”

“And these Goddesses let her stay dead? I thought they'd want to keep their miracle man happy by bringing her back!”   

Darla looked at her sadly, “You really don't know what you are talking about, Anya chose to sacrifice herself to save dozens of lives.  She'd been torn up about the lives she'd destroyed when she was still Anyanka, even though she'd been told she was forgiven, she still felt the need to make amends for her actions.   They would never disrespect her sacrifice like that, and we know that we will be together again when the time comes.”  Her expression brightened, “And the reunion will be one for the eons, I'm looking forward to seeing if our darling boy can truly exhaust a Goddess.”

A burst of applause pulled her attention away from Darla, and Lilah swore, she'd been so engrossed in the conversation that she missed his entire set!  The announcer's voice came back over the speakers, “Sorry ladies, Alex won't be making the rounds this time, he and Ash are preparing for their exclusive show, and there are only 3 tickets left, so if you want to see them in action you'd better let your server know right away.  I know that I'm looking forward to it, and I've experienced the real thing!”

There was a wave of appreciative laughter from the servers and the dancers still on the floor, as well as quite a few of the women in the audience.  Lilah had to wonder just how many of these women had Alexander had in his bed?

"Most of them, actually, dear girl, we've been here for almost eight months, after all, and Susie was only the first of the women to welcome him back with open arms and open legs.  She'd been a playmate of theirs when they were here originally, and so were a couple of the other girls.    Naturally, it hasn't all been sweaty fun and games, we've been busy making Oxnard a much safer place to live while we've been here.  A would be Master vampire tried to set up shop here a few months ago, he didn't last more than a week before he and his minions were all being swept up by the street cleaners.  There are no vampires at all within a twenty-mile radius of the club now." 

Lilah just stared at her, the words not registering as she pictured the women she'd seen since she arrived, naked and kneeling in front of Alexander, or being bent over for him to take them from behind, and she felt an actual ache building inside her, a physical need to be the one he was taking so powerfully, holding herself open so he could take her ass, before tying her to the rack and using the crop on her bare body...

She didn't even notice that Darla was still speaking, all she could focus on was the images that were flooding her mind, and her hand absently started rubbing her breasts through her blouse while her other hand dropped into her lap and started fumbling with the button on her skirt.   It wasn't until Darla's hand gripped her wrist that she realized what she was doing, and looked up at the woman in confusion.

Darla stood up and said, “Let's go, you aren't going to be able to focus on anything until you get this out of your system.   They won't be starting the show for at least an hour, so he might be able to help you.”

Obediently she stood up and followed the blonde out of the showroom and down a well-lit hallway.  Her heart started pounding rapidly as she heard a woman's voice moaning in pleasure through a partly open door.   Darla pushed on the door and pulled her inside, shutting the door behind them.    

The feeling of sex was overpowering and she staggered when she walked into the room, her eyes darting around, there were several women there, all of them naked and masturbating.  Hearing a rustle of clothing beside her, Lilah's eyes were drawn to the sight of Darla stepping out of her dress, walking nude over to the black girl, Cleo, and pulling the girl into her arms for a kiss.    She dismissed them from her attention, they weren't important now, because she saw him, at last!

He was standing in the center of the room, bare-chested, a pair of worn dungarees practically painted on his body, and he was holding a flogger in his hand casually.   The witch was there as well, as nude as the others, standing beside him, a studded leather collar around her throat.  Lilah moaned softly as her hand came up and caressed her throat longingly, her eyes locked on the witch's collar.   She heard a woman's laughter from somewhere, and he turned to look at her, pulling her eyes to his.

When their eyes connected, she got a flash of concern from him before the most powerful orgasm of her life wracked her body, dropping her to the floor nearly senseless!  Her hands fumbled with the buttons on her blouse, pulling it open and exposing her bra covered breasts to him as her voice begged him to take her, to claim her, to own her body, she was giving it to him!  She felt women's hands holding her, stroking her softly, and the pleasure kept pummeling her, climax after climax rushing through her body until she couldn't take it anymore and everything went black!

Lilah had no idea how long it lasted, but when she opened her eyes she saw Alexander crouching beside her, surrounded by the other women, a look of concern on his face.  He saw her eyes open because he gave her a gentle smile and reached out his hand to her, helping her to her feet.  One of the women handed her a glass of something, and she lifted it to her lips, tasting the orange juice as it rolled over her tongue and soothing her throat.  When she could talk again, she looked at him, too exhausted to feel much of anything, and said, “What the hell was that?  Did you do something to me?”

He shook his head, “No Lilah, that was almost entirely your reaction, although I have a feeling you were receiving some encouragement from our patrons.   Are you feeling better now?”

Lilah gave a bitter laugh, “Well, considering that I just experienced orgasms more powerful than all the other ones I've had in my life, combined, I'd say that physically I'm just dandy!  But other than that, I'm terrified almost beyond rational thought!  Just being around you and your ladies caused me to lose control of myself, I can never lose control!  You obviously know who I work for, who holds my contract, and weakness like that would get me destroyed in a heartbeat!”

The witch spoke up, “You mean this contract?” Lilah looked over at the roll of parchment that she was holding, feeling the connection to her very soul in the contract.  She nodded hesitatingly, wondering how and when they had gotten their hands on it, all the contracts were held in the Senior Partner's dimension.

Alexander spoke, “The Senior Partners transferred your contract to our patrons, at the completion of your current assignment.  Darla told you that they wouldn't be willing to stand against divine power, and she wasn't lying.    The question is, do you want to join us, to be fighting against the Senior Partners and their like, or do we destroy the contract and let you live your life free from everything?”

She didn't know why she automatically believed him, her mother had always told her, before dementia took her, that if it seemed too good to be true, it probably was, but she could feel the honesty in him and the others, and that was her contract, no doubt about it!   She wanted control of her soul back, there was no question about it, but what else did she want?  A part of her (the part below her waist) was screaming for her to take Alexander up on his offer, it wanted a lot more of what had just happened, but she was trying to use her rational mind to make this decision, it was far too important! 

But then she remembered some of the things she'd done since signing that contract, the lives she'd destroyed and the lives that would still be destroyed if the Partners got their way.  She remembered the nights of booze and pills trying to destroy the pain she felt as she realized just what she had become, and the mornings of not looking at herself in the mirror out of shame.   It had faded of course, but the memories remained.   When she looked at it that way, there was only one possible decision she could make, wasn't there?

Looking him directly in the eyes she said, “I can't let the Senior Partners keep doing what they are doing, so it looks like you've got yourself a more than slightly grubby around the edges lawyer.”

He smiled widely, and there were murmurs of approval, although she heard a voice from behind her saying, “I'll be damned! I owe Dru a night in the playroom now.”  Turning her head, she saw that one of the women was Cordelia Chase, who was supposed to be working for Angel's crew.  What was she doing here?

She didn't recognize several of the women, although one of them resembled the oldest of the Hallowell sisters, a cousin maybe?  But there would be time for introductions later, she really wanted to get this assignment completed so she would be free!   Turning back to Alexander, she said, “Is there a place we can sit down, I do need to go over Miss Jenkins' bequests before you have to get ready for the show.  I'm really looking forward to seeing you in action!”

The one that looked like Pru Hallowell chuckled, and she said "You aren't the only one, sister!" and Lilah realized it was the woman who had been announcing the dancers.  Apparently, she was the Suzie who had her name on the club. 

Alexander just nodded and gestured toward a door in the back of the room and soon the two of them were sitting at a small table in a kitchenette, handing her another glass of juice, he pulled out a drink of his own and sat down across from her.   Pulling the file out of her case, she opened it and started going over the documents and getting him to make a decision on the major items.  Fortunately, it was relatively straightforward as such things go, and she was able to concentrate on what she was doing, instead of watching the way the muscles in his arm moved as he signed or initialed where indicated.  It didn't help matters that she could hear the sounds of feminine pleasure coming from the open door behind her, and her mind helpfully supplied images of the lesbian orgy happening in the other room.  Her panties were already uncomfortably wet, and hearing what was going on was making her even wetter.

He seemed to sense her discomfort, and he calmly said, “I can tell it's getting to you, Lilah, so go ahead and strip down.  I'll finish with the paperwork while you take care of yourself, it's not a problem.”

A part of her was shocked that he casually ordered her to get naked in front of him, but considering what had happened earlier, what she had been begging him to do, the greater part of her was happy to obey.   Sliding out of her suit jacket, she quickly unbuttoned her blouse and it joined the jacket on the chair beside her.  She was glad to see him watching her appreciatively as she reached behind her, unhooking the bra and sliding it down her shoulders, exposing her breasts to his gaze for the first time.  She knew they were a good size, and was happy they still had their firmness, she'd spent enough time in the gym to make sure of that!

When he nodded, she stood up and unhooked her skirt, pushing it over her hips and to the floor, leaving her in her almost transparent panties from the juices soaking them.   It was with a sigh of relief that she pulled them away from her pussy and shoved them down, leaving her standing in front of him, naked except for her stockings.   His eyes roamed over her body, and she could see the lust in his eyes, and it just made her even more excited to be doing this.

Pushing her chair back and away from the table, Lilah sat back down, her legs spread and her heels resting on the tabletop, giving him a clear view of what she was doing.  Licking her fingers, she ran her hands along her body, stopping to caress her breasts, lightly pinching the nipples and making them even tighter than they already were.   The slight touch of pain sent a shiver of pleasure right to her pussy making her moan.  Her hand continued its journey down her body until it was between her legs, stroking the hair that she had trimmed into a neat triangle, before touching her lips.  

She closed her eyes, her fingers sliding easily inside her, pumping quickly, stretching herself as she pictured his cock filling her, laying her flat on the table, his hands holding her down as first Darla, then the witch, and then the other women took their turn lowering themselves to her eager tongue!  She was happily licking them, and as each of them climaxed, flooding her mouth with their juices, she felt his approval in his touch.  He was filling her, stretching her more than she'd ever been before, it was glorious! 

She could feel his strength, his control as he claimed her, bringing her own climax closer and closer with every thrust, and she welcomed it, knowing it was only the first of a lifetime's worth of pleasure and pain she would experience at his hands.  Lilah could almost feel the darkness in her soul being washed away as he and his ladies poured their desire for her into her body until it all wrapped itself around her and pushed her over the edge and she threw back her head and howled her release to the universe!  She collapsed bonelessly into the chair, practically floating from the forces blasting through her body, the fireworks behind her eyes lighting up everything and she caught a glimpse of a beautiful blonde in a toga smiling happily at her before she came back to her body and slouched, panting in the chair. 

When she opened her eyes, he was smiling at her, "Wow!  I'd love to know what fantasy you were using because it must have been a wild one!  I've never seen any of the girls get themselves off that hard with just their fingers, even Darla usually needs to have a finger or two in her ass to react like that." 

Lilah gave him a sated grin, “I'll tell you all about it later, I feel too good to talk now,”  and she closed her eyes again, trying to hold onto the feelings.

She had never felt so relaxed in her life, and she really did feel lighter, as if the very decision to work against the firm washed some of the dirt from her soul, and she knew that she would be able to look at herself in the mirror from now on.  That was a good feeling, even better than the earth moving orgasm she'd enjoyed.    

After a few more minutes, he closed the file folder and slid it back across the table toward her. Knowing it was time to be businesslike again, she wiped the smile off her face and focused on what still needed to be done. Sitting up, she pulled the chair closer and quickly scanned through the documents, making sure that everything was signed properly before nodding in satisfaction.  Putting the file back inside the case, she closed and locked it before tapping the sigil by the lock.  Wincing at the slight prick as it drew her blood, the sigil glowed and then the case disappeared, returning back to the Wills and Testaments Department in Los Angeles.  

As the case faded away, she also felt the binds that connected her to the firm disappear as well, and she suddenly felt as if a 20-pound weight had been lifted off her shoulders.  With a wide smile, she looked across the table and said, "Wow!  And to think I was uncomfortable about this assignment!  What do you want me to do next?" 

He chuckled, "Well unless you'd like to go to the showroom completely naked you might want to find something to wear.  I'm sure the audience would enjoy your beauty, but not all of my ladies are comfortable being naked in front of strangers." 

She looked down at her nakedness and shrugged, “Meh, let them look, I've got nothing to be ashamed of, and besides, dressing would just waste time for when I can get naked with you and the others again.”

He laughed, “Works for me, but, I do want you do something for me, go out and find Cleo.  Tell her that I want her to groom you properly.  You'll notice that all of my women are hairless, that's something that I insist on.”

She nodded, "Not a problem if I'd had any indication what I'd been walking into I probably would have shaved before I left my apartment.  I really wasn't planning on you seeing this much of me when I walked through the door," she finished with a light laugh. 

“In that case, Cleo can also get you a dancers robe when she finishes, you'll still be visible but it does provide a bit of covering from random eyes.”

Standing up, he walked around the table and put his hand on her ass as he guided her out of the room.  The women started cheering and applauding, and she blushed brightly before smirking at them.  She knew that she would be in the position to applaud their noisy orgasms in the future, so why not enjoy it?

The VIP Showroom

45 Minutes Later

Lilah walked into the back of the room with Alexander's, no Xander's, other women, naked under the sheer robe, the taste of Cleo lingering on her tongue.   He hadn't told her to lick the other girl but seemed to approve of the way she had 'thanked' her for the shave.   Cleo had certainly enjoyed herself, considering the way she squirted, and the black girl had promised to return the favor later tonight.  Lilah was looking forward to it, among other things.  There was obviously a lot she needed to learn about the group, or family, that she'd impulsively attached herself to, she was still having a hard time believing that Darla and Drusilla were both living breathing women for one thing! 

She also wondered how the Managing Directors were going to react to her defection?  Sure, she had her contract back, but she also kept a great deal of knowledge about their activities.  Naturally, the police wouldn't be able to do anything about them, but Xander has enough contacts, including with Angel and his group, that a nice monkey wrench could be tossed into their machinations.   She smirked at Lindsay and Gavin's reactions to their 'Special Projects' going up in smoke.  She may be joining the 'white hats' but that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the discomfort of her enemies, did it? 

But all of that could wait until tomorrow or Monday, because Suzie had mentioned the party in the playroom that was a Saturday night tradition, and if she hadn't been wet already, she would have been after she heard about some of the things that went on!     

The door to the VIP Room opened, and about 20 people came pouring through, trying to get as close to the stage as possible.  Lilah wasn't surprised to see that the women actually outnumbered the men in the crowd, and she wondered how many of them were there for Xander and how many were there to watch Ashley, or Tara, being dominated and wishing they were up there?   She knew that she was really looking forward to having Xander dominate her, ever since she'd dropped the mask, it was practically all she could think about!  

Of course, since Cordelia, or Cordy as she insisted that Lilah call her, and the other women were all just as submissive as she was, it was certainly going to be an interesting night.  She'd been skeptical at first about Xander's ability to keep all of his ladies satisfied, but Tara had laughed, saying that there were definite benefits to having the favor of several Goddesses of Love and Lust!    

And then Cordy had dropped the bombshell that there were even more women that weren't there that night, they were busy patrolling the town, or, in Paige's case, actually getting some laundry done, which Cordy was planning on doing in the morning.  All of them had enough that it was a requirement that they do their own laundry, even Xander did his own clothes, although Tara and a couple of the other girls had been willing to do it.

She'd been slightly impressed that Xander didn't try to act the dominant all the time, at least not with all of the women.  She had a feeling that a few of the women were submissive enough that they naturally fell into that type of relationship, and she could see herself being one of them as she learned to trust Xander.  For now, though, she was just looking forward to experiencing him dominating her in the bedroom! 

The crowd suddenly hushed as the lights in the showroom dimmed, and the curtain on the stage opened.  She licked her lips in anticipation as a spotlight landed on Tara, completely nude, held securely by the cuffs around her wrists and ankles, spread eagle between two poles that were running from floor to ceiling.   Her dirty blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail, showing the collar around her throat and the ball-gag stretching her jaws.

There was an appreciative murmur from the audience as Xander stepped into the light, wearing his jeans and work boots, but naked from the waist up.   The lights clearly showed his well-muscled body, and he lifted his hand, showing the leather straps of the cat hanging loosely.  Lilah shifted in her position against the wall, imagining how beautifully the soft leather would sting her ass and thighs.   

Darla was standing beside her and leaned in, her voice quiet, “Don't worry, you'll get to feel the kiss before the night is over, and then you'll find that Tara is only submissive to her Master, to the rest of us, she's Alpha and nearly as dominating as our darling boy. You haven't existed until you've experienced the two of them teaming up on you, trust me!  I've got almost 500 years of experience, and they keep me satisfied better than any of my other lovers, male or female, that I've ever had.”

Lilah glanced over at her, raising an eyebrow, “I think I remember you mentioning that Angelus was a bit disappointing in that respect.  It's too bad I switched sides, I'd love to use that information to annoy him!”

Darla gave a musical laugh, "Oh, feel free, Xander does it all the time, especially since Buffy, the 'love of Angel's life' was similarly uncomplimentary after enjoying Xander's attention.   And Dru agrees with us, although she never did enjoy Angelus' attentions, considering what he did to her when he turned her, so it's not really surprising." 

The sound of leather striking flesh and the gasp from the audience pulled her attention back to the stage, and she could see the red stripes on Tara's ass cheeks where the lashes had landed.  She noticed that the skin, while reddened, wasn't showing signs of being cut, so he really was being careful with how much force he used.   She murmured to Darla, "He really is good, isn't he?" 

“If you only knew, dear girl, if you only knew!  This is playtime, and the object is to stimulate, not punish.  Trust me, you don't want to experience a punishment!  I found out the hard way not long after I joined the family, and even with my enhanced endurance, I was begging for him to stop before the end.”

“Um, I'll keep that in mind.  But what did you do, if you don't mind me asking?”

“Oh, I don't mind, but, you have to understand, it was not long after I woke up as a human again, and four hundred years of instincts are hard to break away from.   For the vast majority of those years, I was the undisputed Alpha of any group I was part of, and I tried to dominate Xander and Tara, so I would be the Alpha of the family.   He wasn't amused, and neither was Alpha, who took over my education once Xander was finished with me.”

Lilah nodded, her attention on the stage, as Xander was kissing Tara with the cat all over her body, and shivered in excitement as the strips landed directly on the bound woman's breasts!   She was watching Tara's eyes as he toyed with her, and the happiness shining through told her everything she needed to know about how the witch was feeling.   

She could hear the whine of need coming from Tara's throat even over the crowd noise, and if she wasn't gagged, would probably be begging Master to let her cum.   It was odd that she could tell how the girl was feeling after just seeing her for the first time earlier tonight, but somehow knew it was because of their 'patrons' connecting her to the rest of them.   It would take some getting used to, but Lilah could see how useful that connection would be.

Darla touched her shoulder and said, “Pay attention, it's about to get really entertaining.  He does this every time, and that's why so many of the women are here almost every night.”

Lilah looked at the crowd, and could see the anticipation on quite a few of the women, and wondered exactly what was going to happen.   She didn't have to wait very long, as, after Xander played with Tara for a few minutes longer, including rubbing the handle of the cat between Tara's soaking lips, he stepped back and turned to the crowd.

With a grin, he said "And now we get to my Pet Ashley's favorite part of the show.  Those of you who have been here before know what's next don't you?" 

There was a burst of laughter and cheers from the crowd, although some of the audience looked confused.

“For those of you who are seeing us for the first time, you ladies in the audience will have a chance to enjoy my sweet Ashley's juices for yourself, and if you are able to make her cum, you will get the price of your ticket refunded.  And if more than one of you gets her off, every woman who does will get the refund.  Sorry guys, but I'm the only man who gets to enjoy my pet, I hope you understand.”

Several of the women were standing up, and, to Lilah's surprise, were actually taking their tops and bras off, leaving them nude in front of the rest of the crowd!  Xander smiled, “Yeah, that's another rule, I'm letting you enjoy my Pet, and you've gotten to see everything I have to offer, so it's only right that we get to enjoy a look at you.”  Tara was nodded eagerly in her bonds, and Xander reached up and removed the gag from her mouth, before giving her a loving kiss.

Turning back to the women who were lining up, he said, “As a special treat for you ladies, I fucked Ashley right before the show started, so you might just get to enjoy a mixture of flavors.  Now, let's get started!”

None of the women seemed unhappy that they might be licking up his cum at the same time they were licking Tara, and the first woman climbed the steps and knelt down on the padding in front of her.  Xander reached up and started a timer that was hanging from the pole, showing one-minute counting down. 

Lilah watched, fascinated as the first few women used their mouths to try and make Tara cum, but she was wondering just how they could get away with a live sex act on stage since they were generally illegal in California.    Turning to Darla, she said, "How do they not get arrested? If they've been doing this for a while the word has to have gotten out." 

Darla chuckled, "You see that woman with the cross hanging around her throat?  That's the Mayor of Oxnard, we saved her and her daughter, that's the woman right behind her in line, from a group of vampires about a month after we arrived.   Once she found out about the nightlife, she was very happy to do anything to help the people who saved her life.  She actually managed to get the laws rewritten so this is all perfectly legal.  And since Mrs. Grundy and her ilk never got much of a foothold here in the town nobody seems to care." 

Lilah smirked, taking a closer look at the older woman who was waiting with a hungry smile on her face.  “That would explain it, and it's nice to have our asses covered, isn't it?”

“Only in public, dear girl, only in public,” Darla chuckled, “But I know what you mean.”

The Mayor was on her knees now, and she did something a little different.  She looked up at Xander and opened her mouth wide.   He smirked at her and lifted the cat, and Lilah noticed for the first time that the handle was shaped like a cock.  'Interesting, I wonder if the Mayor has found herself on her knees in front of more than just Tara?' she thought.    

Xander put the head of the leather cock at the woman's mouth, and she started licking it, before taking the bulb into her mouth and closing her lips around the false cock, moaning happily as she sucked Tara's juices.  The woman actually reached down and unbuttoned her skirt, sliding her hand between her legs.  Lilah shook her head in amazement, if Wolfram and Hart knew about this they could own the woman!   But it was becoming very clear that there were a lot of things that the Firm hadn't known, and she was glad that her fate wasn't tied to theirs anymore!

The woman actually climaxed from sucking the fake cock and her fingers, and then she managed to stand and put her glistening fingers at Tara's mouth.  Apparently, this was part of the routine for them, because Lilah saw the amusement in Tara's eyes as she started sucking the woman's fingers clean.  This got a round of applause from the remaining audience members, and the Mayor turned and grinned at the crowd before lowering herself back down and gesturing for the timer to start. 

She was just as enthusiastic about licking a woman as she was about sucking a cock, and Lilah wondered how she was as Mayor because a woman who was that comfortable with her desires was probably a fairly decent politician.  It was the ones who felt they had to hide part of themselves away that tended to be open to manipulation. 

The timer buzzed before she got Tara to climax, but it was a close run thing, judging by Tara's reactions.  The woman's daughter, who couldn't be much more than 21 or 22 was the last of the women, and she hurried up to the steps and got into position, but then she started licking one of her fingers, and Lilah realized exactly what the girl had planned.  She stood a little straighter, focusing on the scene on stage.  

The timer started moving, and the girl dove right in, her tongue sliding into Tara's open lips and drawing a pleased moan from the bound woman.  It was then that the girl did what Lilah was expecting, lifting her hand between Tara's legs and running her finger between the cheeks of Tara's ass.   When she pushed the finger into Tara's tightest hole, the witch practically exploded from the orgasm.  Lilah could see her juices actually spraying the girl's face as she shouted her pleasure to the room!

Darla was only the first of the watching women to start applauding, but the rest of the room, including the Mayor, were cheering and clapping as the girl pulled her finger out and stood back up, a huge smile on her face.  She stood directly in front of Tara, but Lilah saw her look over at Xander, who gave her a nod, and then she leaned in and kissed Tara deeply, making the witch moan as she returned the kiss.   

When Xander tapped her on the shoulder, the girl broke the kiss with a pout, but he whispered something in her ear and the smile returned.  She nodded immediately at whatever he was saying, and walked down off the stage and said something to her mother, the Mayor, who grinned widely and nodded as well.

Darla chuckled, “So we're going to have a couple of more playmates for the night, this should be fun!”

Lilah snorted, “If the Mayor was like this in my hometown, I probably never would have left Iowa!”

The rest of the crowd was making their way out of the showroom, the women fully dressed again, but all of them had pleased smiles on their faces, and Lilah heard a couple of them saying they couldn't wait until next week.

While the crowd was leaving, Xander was releasing Tara from the bonds, and the woman wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly and kissing him, between laughing excitedly.  "Oh, that was the best one yet, Master!  Thank you for such a wonderful night, and now the fun really starts!" 

Holding Tara in his arms affectionately, the two of them climbed down off the stage and moved toward the rest of the family.   Xander stopped in front of Lilah and smiled, “Well, Lilah, are you ready for things to really get interesting?”

Lilah laughed, “If this was just the warm-up, I don't know if my body can handle what you call interesting, but I'm looking forward to finding out!”

“Then let's go!” He said, gesturing to an open door at the side of the room.  “That's the family playroom, and you're about to experience pleasure like you've never imagined!”

Seeing the other girls, including some that weren't there earlier, walking through the door smiling and talking excitedly, Lilah followed them, wondering just what was going to happen?
