Summary: The OT3(?) mafia mashup from hell because I'm mad tho OR a tale of kingpins and their kingmaker
This isn't her city, it's a little dirtier. Gritter on the outside, the line between the rich and poor so thick the the apartments have two separate entrances for the greater and the lesser. It seems like a shitty place to live, but an effective place to work. She can not function with nothing to serve, she's tried. Her own needs and wants bore her after a while, she's made for bigger and better and more destructive. A solider by trade.
A tool, searching for deft hands.
But she isn't quite sure where to start. There were so many angry people, so many sides and suits, a corporation that had their hands in everything . . .
She'd served an Empire before, working for another didn't seem right, not if she didn't have her hand in building it. Best to start from the bottom then, somewhere she can keep her ear to the ground. The simple, most obvious solution was the most insulting one, but the pride that made her balk at the idea of applying at an upscale strip club was the the same that considered it one step closer to her goal.
Before she auditions, she calls her mom.
Two weeks into the job, she cuts off most of her hair.
(she is not a lady anymore)
It's a little less than a month before she's asked to work a party for some real rough guys. Most of the dancers are scared, not because of the group themselves, but associating so closely with Shinra's enemies. It was a good way to get shot, or your power cut off, or any other nefarious consequence that no one could help you with or save you from. It's lucky then, that Aisha was never going to need to be saved.
Even if she was, she's already prepared to save herself.
They prove to be a lively bunch, rather touchy but also by and large decent. There's an asshole or two, but for the size of the crowd it's not bad at all. By the time she's supposed to get on stage, she's already made what she normally would on a good Friday night. But there's still that urge to perform, to show off what she'd learned. She's surprisingly elegant, more of a dancer than the job strictly requires, and her thighs are wrapped around the pole when she spots someone that looks interesting.
Bright, in the way that skies were on pretty days.
She had a gift to read people, and what she was seeing now was rare. Decency rolled off of him in waves, even though he was obviously the top guy, and the contrast fascinated her. Her movements shift to match, becoming more sensual, a body screaming out to be touched, and more than that, noticed.
Aisha's darker blue eyes lock on the stranger's impossibly bright ones. He is her mission, her audience of one, and all the rest be damned. Money wasn't a factor anymore, all her thoughts were on her work, giving him the best of her services. Her hips rock up as her body is showered with bills, yet her eyes don't waver, baiting.
(I'm worth ten of everyone else on your team, you'll know it soon enough)
By the end, he is crooking his finger and she wants to squeal from the joy of it. But she goes backstage anyway, takes her valuable time, pins her hair up and paints her lips. All things she doesn't care about normally, but men do, and she can adjust to anyone's wishes for long enough to get her way.
The heat between her legs is unexpected, stifling, not something she feels like dealing with. So she doesn't, opting to put on a red La Pearla garter set instead, ready for the good old bait and switch.
Pretend it's her body she's offering, but then
Give him a girl, who's really a hammer with the versatility of a Swiss Army Knife.
When she finally approaches his table, the suits part, gazing at him with respect and not terror. It's then she knows for certain he's her future something (he's her future, period, but that's for later) and there's no room for mistakes. But his plump lips are pressed against a cigarette, and his black hair is so wild she wants to run her fingers through it, and when he goes to put out his cigarette in the ashtray Aisha offers her wrist.
It isn't the first time she's done that for someone, been that for someone, but he seems surprised.
"You like being burned, sweetheart?"
"I like being useful. And cigarette burns are nothing, my old boss used to smoke freaking cigars. Which are bad for ya, you know?"
She slides in the booth, taking in his expression that's promising to give her the night of her life. Sex normally isn't her thing, and isn't it her luck that her best change for a good job is waking her up like this? If she thinks of the possibilities of being an asset again, it outweighs the way her thighs part ever so slightly for him by a mile. Aisha knows her potential is wasted here, that she can make him so much more than what he is.
Gently, she puts the cigarette out in the tray and leans in close.
"I can handle any stress you've got better than that silly old thing, I promise it."
