The Fall For Love

Chapter 19: The Reopening

Friday night rolled around for the club's reopening and Lillian and Emelie stood backstage, peeking out at the packed club.

"I can't believe we've got a full house tonight." said Lillian in wonder. "I was worried no one would come back"

"Of course they were going to come back Lils, this place is amazing.....and the performers are pretty hot too." said Emilie with an exaggerated wink. Lillian laughed.

"Well....I had better begin tonight's festivities then." said Lillian.

She stepped onto the stage dressed in a beautiful vintage tux which clung to her curves, topped off with a black top hat.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. To celebrate our reopening, we have a very exciting evening planned for you.....so please, keep drinking the bar dry and enjoy the show!" 

She smiled at the rapturous applause she received. The music started up and she began to move, swaying her hips to the rhythm as she had many times before. She took in the audience as she threw her hat from her head and peeled off her jacket. 

That's when she saw him. Michael Law was stood by the bar, his eyes fixed on her. She didn't even falter, if anything it spurred her on. She had not seen him since she bumped into him outside the cafe, but her thoughts had been full of him. Now she would give him something to fantasize about.

Lucifer was transfixed by her. The way she moved her body was the sexiest thing he had ever seen. As she slowly removed each item of clothing, he couldn't help but feel torn. He loved watching her, but he could barely handle his rage at the thought of everyone else looking at her, he would quite happily rip all of their eyes out.

As she removed her shirt, to reveal a bejewelled bra, he noticed her eyes were fixed on him. He felt his obvious excitement and all he wanted to do at that moment was take her there and then in front of everyone. He gripped his glass so tightly that he heard it crack.

Lillian walked offstage to thunderous applause.

"Wow Lils, that was so hot. Even I was a little aroused." Lillian laughed at Emelie's encouragement.

"Well thank you very much, I guess I was just in the zone tonight. Anyway, I had better get changed...have fun out there!" Lillian smacked Emelie on the butt and walked off towards her dressing room.

Lillian chose her most daring dress to wear, which left very little to the imagination and decided to head to the bar. She told herself she was only going for a drink, nothing more. Nothing to do with that fact that Michael had been standing there. Walking towards the bar she got many admiring stares and plenty of compliments on her performance. As she reached the bar, James' eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Holy shit Lils!" he said, practically breathless. "You look incredible!"

"Thanks James, I decided to dress up for the occasion." he grinned and passed her over her usual drink of gin and bitter lemon. "Thankyou."

She didn't even need to look around to realise that Michael was stood right behind her. For some reason, she could just feel him there. She turned around, drink in hand, coming face to face with the very man.

"Good evening Mr. Law, may I ask what you are doing here?" She could see his eyes darken with lust as he took all of her in.

"Well, Miss. Jones, I came to drop your cheque off....but I decided to stay for the show." He leant in closer to her. "and I'm very glad I did." Lillian felt as if her heart was about to beat out of her chest, so she took a large sip of her drink before speaking again.
