THE VIXEN

Chapter Eleven

The after party was in full swing. The show had gone off without a hitch and the media had already declared the line a hit. There were wall-to-wall beautiful people with music and drinks and laughter in the air.

Vixen, Nya, Phoenix, Camille, and Jackie were in the VIP booth drinking laughing and talking. Vixen was so proud of the show and her people. For a second she was feeling a sense of peace she had not felt in weeks.

Just then one of her security people came to their booth, "There are some people here to see you, Ms. James," the guard said to her.

Vixen looked at the velvet rope and saw that it was Daniel and his guests. She felt her heart start to race and her throat was instantly dry. At least he was with people so this exchange shouldn't last long.

"You can let them in," she said to the guard.

As he was walking to let them in, Vixen said, "Ladies, Daniel is coming. You people will behave yourselves or suffer my wrath later. Got it?!" she said pointing to Jackie.

"Why are you pointing at me?" Jackie said trying to muster a pretense of disbelief.

"Cause you're a ho' with a big mouth," Nya said looking down at her drink. "Did I say that out loud?" she said looking up trying to look innocent.

"Well, if you didn't, I would have," Phoenix chimed in.

"Hello again, Daniel," Vixen said politely standing up extending her hand.

She had changed into her third dress for the evening. This one was a Dolce and Gabbana red leather and lace skater dress. Her hair had been pulled up on one side with curls cascading down her back and she had changed into a pair of purple Giuseppe Zanotti leather ankle booties.

'Fuck, I want to take you into the bathroom, wrap your legs around my waist and show you how much I have missed you these past couple of weeks,' Daniel was thinking. He didn't say it though. He took her hand in his and raised it to his lips and kissed the inside of her wrist and said,

"The show was amazing, Vixen. You should be very proud. I saw at least four pieces I would love to see you in," he said looking her up and down and licking his lips like she was dinner for a starving man.

Randy cleared his voice and snapped Daniel and Vixen out of the momentary trance they were both in.

"Oh, yes. Vixen this is my brother, Randy and you already met his wife, Sam. And these are my close friends Nick Crown and Gavin Reedman and you met Sal earlier," he said putting his hands in his pockets. He looked back at Vixen. He couldn't take his eyes off her. She was so beautiful and amazing.

"Hello," she said to everyone smiling. "I hope that you all enjoyed the show and are having a good time."

"It was an exceptional show, Madam," Nick said to Vixen.

"Oh, Jesus, I think Ms. Kitty just purred." Nya said.

Phoenix spit her drink out while laughing at Nya's words and Camille was hiding her face behind her purse laughing.

Blushing, Vixen said, "I guess I will make the introductions now," she said trying her hardest not to laugh. "This is my very close friend, Dr. Nya Black; my cousin, Phoenix James and my other two good friends, Camille Williams and Jacquelyn King."

Jacquelyn was sitting on the outside of them both so she stood and extended her hand to Daniel and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you," smiling at him in that way Vixen knew meant she wanted him to know she was interested.
