More often than not, she spends shifts in the office or behind the bar but, every so often, she gets up on stage or works the floor. Usually, it's because someone's called out, or because they're busier than anticipated. Tonight, it's the latter. Alex had rummaged through the bag that she keeps in the bottom drawer of a filing cabinet in the office and come up with an outfit that worked: a black corset, underwear, stockings, heels. She'd leaned over the chipped sink in the bathroom back there and done her make-up, thick eyeliner and red lips. On impulse, she'd snapped a selfie and sent it to Darlington.
Tell me how you'll serve me 'til the end of days x
Out on the floor, she dances and sweats, flirts, accepts drinks or doesn't, depending on her mood. She's just finished a drink when she looks up and sees him walk through the door. They've arranged a sitter for Edie so that they can stay at Dimera street tonight, go out before.
She stands, and waits for him to see her.

Date: 2023-09-23 02:20 am (UTC)He doesn't understand it as well as he'd like, any more than he fully comprehends the message she sends him tonight and has repeated in the past. But like that, like the idea of the end of days, it feels weighty and true even without the benefit of understanding.
Rather than wait in the car, he parks and goes towards the door, feeling the thump of the music as he makes his way towards the stage. It isn't Alex there, but he catches the dark movement at the corner of his eye and turns to see her at the bar, her sleek hair a spill over one shoulder and her mouth a slash of red. He feels the pull of her attention in his gut, in his chest, and lets himself be drawn forward.
"Good night?"
no subject
Date: 2023-09-23 12:54 pm (UTC)"Pretty lucrative," she says, tilting her face up towards him, but not actually leaning in for a kiss -- a kiss isn't part of the rules, and they both know it. "I can clock out now if you like." She tilts her head, her red lips pursing slightly. "Or..."
no subject
Date: 2023-09-25 12:58 am (UTC)She trails off, and he raises one eyebrow. "I'll remind you, we've been trying to get a reservation at this place for months," he says. "But tell me what you have in mind, Stern."
no subject
Date: 2023-09-29 07:08 pm (UTC)"Well, it's up to you, baby," she says, the fingers of one hand skimming against the fabric of his shirt. It's a nice one, expensive -- the fabric soft and slightly shiny under the tips of her fingers. "Whether you think you've got time for a quick dance before I get changed for dinner."
no subject
Date: 2023-09-30 11:27 pm (UTC)He pretends to think about it, glancing at his watch, ever so slightly playing into the arrogant impression she'd originally had of him, all privilege and polish and aggravation at the disappointment that was his Dante. They know each other better now. "I think we might have time."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-01 06:25 pm (UTC)Her eyebrow twitches slightly when he calls her vulgar, but she also knows the game that they're playing. She loves this game.
"Hope you bought some cash," she says, hooking her fingers between the buttons his shirt, finding warm skin underneath. Using that hold, she guides him towards an open booth, her eyes fixed on his face. "I know you know the rules by now, anyway."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-04 03:25 am (UTC)"I brought cash for the valet at the restaurant," he says, taking a seat on the dark leather booth. "But I suppose we can find street parking that serves us just as well. And if I didn't know the rules by now, Stern, the club would've put me on that dismayingly long list of personae non gratae you have backstage long ago."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-05 07:28 pm (UTC)"That's true," she says, because this is far from the first time that she's danced for him like this. As he settles in the booth, a song starts -- she doesn't recognise it, but it's good, heavy and loud, dirty base. Her hips pick up the rhythm and she leans forward, catching her weight with her hands on the back of the booth.

Date: 2023-10-15 03:29 pm (UTC)With their reservation looming, she doesn't intend to linger but she's still got plenty of time to wind him up before dinner, especially when she so well knows how to push every button he's got. Her fingers immediately go to the fastenings of her corset, unhooking from the buttom, revealling snake heads peeking between the lace of her panties and her garter belt.
"I know you want to fuck me," she says, in the same bored, almost conversational tone that she reserves for dances like this at the club and particular moments at home. She knows how it gets under his skin.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-21 08:33 pm (UTC)"You work here," he says, his voice dropping back with an ease that no longer surprises him to that same half-entitled drawl from before. They can both play at disinterest; they both know how it affects the other. "Making people want to fuck you is part of the job."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-21 09:20 pm (UTC)That tone of voice, the look on his face, it sends a pulse of hot and wet right between her thighs. Smirking, she peels her corset open, discarding it on the bench next to him, She skims her fingers up over pale skin, grazing over pierced nipples under lace.
"That isn't a no, pretty boy."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-29 03:43 am (UTC)"No," he says after a moment, meeting her eyes and smiling slightly. "It's not. But that's not unusual for you either, is it?"
no subject
Date: 2023-10-30 07:37 pm (UTC)"They're not all as good looking as you," she says, and it's part tease, but it's mostly true because, God, she still can't believe her luck, sometimes. She still thinks about that first time she saw him, when he walked into her dorm room like he belonged there, and later, sitting on the floor of the lounge at il Bastone, and how she'd felt seeing his bare feet. She leans in, her tits swaying forward, keeps the movement going until his nose is almost pressed between them.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-31 07:27 pm (UTC)She's close enough that his breath blows warm across her tits when he speaks, his lips just a hair's breadth from brushing her skin through the lace--and right now, there's nowhere he'd rather be. His eyes close, almost involuntarily, heat and desire sinking through him.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-04 09:33 pm (UTC)"Mmmm. You don't exactly sound surprised," she says, pushing her fingers into the short dark hair on the back of his head and pulling him forward , just slightly so that his lips brush against her. "Been told that before, pretty boy?"
no subject
Date: 2023-11-05 02:03 am (UTC)Her fingers twist in his hair then, and he groans, low and sudden.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-05 06:52 pm (UTC)She's got thoughts about the type of girl that Danny used to fuck before she met him, the other girls who might have told him that before, but she doesn't mention that, right now. Her cunt throbbing at the sound he makes, she shifts position, sliding into his lap and grinding her hips forward against him.
"I don't know," she says. "Is it?"
no subject
Date: 2023-11-16 11:22 pm (UTC)"I'm willing to take the risk," he says. "Even if you're only saying it to get a bigger tip out of me." He can hear the innuendo in it, and smirks.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-18 06:15 pm (UTC)Alex affects a pout. Her bra is a front fastener, and she slides her hands up over the slight press of her ribs against her skin to unhook it, peeling it off her tits and arching her back to show them to their best advantage.
"Just the tip?" She smirks. "You don't look like a tease, pretty boy."

Date: 2023-12-04 07:34 pm (UTC)"I bet it isn't," says Alex. She'll never ever get tired of him looking at her like that; every single time, it feels a bit like the first time. The realisation that a man like her would look at a girl like her like that. "How fully do you like to commit?" she asks, sneaking a hand between them and palming his cock through his jeans. "Like, in inches."
no subject
Date: 2023-12-16 10:49 pm (UTC)"Oh, all the way," he says, recovering himself and the thread of the game they're still playing. "And extensively. Putting numbers on it is vulgar, but I've never had a complaint."
no subject
Date: 2023-12-30 06:42 pm (UTC)The fact that he's wearing jeans means that there's a limit to how well she can handle him, but she keeps the pressure of her hand firm against him, gives him something to grind against for a moment before she takes it away, pushing it into his hand instead, tugging.
"What makes you think I don't like vulgar," she purrs, close to his ear.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-31 09:08 pm (UTC)Close as she is, it's easy to turn his head, the measurement she already knows--intimately--whispered low and hot between them.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-31 09:45 pm (UTC)She knows exactly how big he is, but it still makes her laugh, sudden and breathless, when he says it.
"Dirty," she says, rolling her hips against his before she slips out of his lap, turning her back and bending from the waist, reaching back to run both hands up the back of her thighs, letting him just look for a moment.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-03 03:04 am (UTC)She's out of his lap so smoothly it feels like an obscene form of magic, bending and teasing, letting him look but not touch--not that he could anyway, but the principle's the thing. His eyes follow the path of her hands, take in the curve of her ass. Fishing a bill out of his pocket, he leans in, tucking it beneath her garter belt.
Now that they live together, it really is just a useless move of already-shared funds, but under the fantasy it feels like anything but.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-03 08:50 pm (UTC)Alex bites her lip as his fingers brush against her skin. She's pretty sure that he could have tipped her without touching her, but she's glad he didn't.
"You could take me somewhere," she says, straightening up, cupping her tits with both hands and squeezing. "And show me. My shift's just about over."

Date: 2024-01-14 03:39 pm (UTC)"I bet we could," she says, tousling her fingers into his hair and tugging his head back so that he's looking up at her. "Stay right there, okay?"
She slinks away through the club and it's a minute or two before she comes back, dressed in street clothes. The first thing she does is lean down and kiss him, hard.
"I'm going to need you to find a wall to fuck me up against before we go to dinner," she says, her mouth close to his ear. "Okay?"
no subject
Date: 2024-01-20 07:56 pm (UTC)"We're never going to make our reservation," he says, and it's the furthest thing from a complaint.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-20 08:24 pm (UTC)Alex grins when he groans against her lips like that. She steps back, offering him her hand.
"Fuck it. We can get burgers instead," she says, grinning. "You want to go to the apartment or just do it in my office?" They've talked about that, but they've never actually done it.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-04 06:13 am (UTC)Alex knows what she's doing suggesting the office, and Darlington's eyes turn towards the hallway at the back of the club. They've only talked about it, let it fuel both of their fantasies, but with the opportunity before them...it's hardly a choice at all.
"Office," he says. "You don't want to wait until we're at the apartment, and I wouldn't believe you if you did."
no subject
Date: 2024-02-04 01:12 pm (UTC)"I'm not saying that's what I want," she says, her fingers twined through his, already leading him in the direction of her office door. "I'm saying it's what I'm willing to settle for if I get my brains fucked out on my desk, first."
Or against the wall. She honestly isn't picky.

Date: 2024-02-12 02:19 pm (UTC)"You fucking love it," she says, drawing him into her small office and shutting the door behind them before she presses him back against it with tits and hips and her hands on his shoulders. He's much taller than she is, so she has to lean up to get her mouth close to his ear.
"Tell me how you want it, Danny," she breathes. There's magic words that they both know she needs to hear. If not, there's plenty of other ways to go about it, but she always likes to give him what he wants.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-16 04:19 am (UTC)Even with her pressed against him, bearing him with her slight weight against the flat of the door, it's as easy as it always is to turn them, his movements fluid. In no time, he has Alex's back against the door, his hands snug on her ass as he hoists her up. "Something like this should suit nicely, won't it?"
no subject
Date: 2024-02-16 08:27 pm (UTC)"Aren't you always?" she says, making a soft, surprised sound when he hoists her like that. She wraps both legs around his waist, tousling her fingers in his hair. She loves it when he's down on his knees, when he's serving, but she loves this, too. She loves how strong he is, and how safe she always feels, despite it.
"Yeah," she says. "This'll do."
no subject
Date: 2024-02-25 09:33 pm (UTC)He doesn't let her get another retort in, just kisses her, deep and hot and hungry.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-29 09:27 pm (UTC)God, it's so much. His mouth. His cock. She rocks between him and the door, grinding forward against his cock. When the kiss breaks, she's breathless, leaning her forehead against his. "At least one of us needs to be wearing less fucking clothes."
no subject
Date: 2024-03-28 04:03 am (UTC)Reaching between them, he thumbs open her jeans, fingers working firmly, pressing and teasing her cunt through the fabric.
no subject
Date: 2024-03-28 05:29 pm (UTC)He knows exactly the effect that that tone of voice, that casual correction, will have on her; her cunt throbs and she all but growls, one hand coming up to cup his jaw. He handles her expertly, unbutton her jeans, fondling her cunt and, held like she is, there's not much that Alex can do but squirm.
"Fuck," she breathes, leaning in for another kiss. "Darlington. Danny."

Date: 2024-03-31 07:21 pm (UTC)"I know," says Alex because she does know that, has known it since that first night up at Kagura. "Just...get my jeans all the way off and fucking do it. Please?"

Date: 2024-04-01 05:34 pm (UTC)He has to put Alex down, long enough for her to kick off her sneakers and jeans, but almost immediately she's back in his arms, hoisting herself up to kiss him hungrily.
"Now fuck me like you mean it, Darlington," she says.

Date: 2024-04-07 08:04 pm (UTC)"Not once," she says, and then anything else she would have said gets lost because he's inside her, long and hard and perfect, her back bouncing against the door as he fucks her. His mouth against hers, the pulse of the music in the club behind them, means she doesn't have to be quiet. She groans, loudly, squirming down onto his cock.
