Loud music poured out of the building behind them as the two sirens walked down the steps out of the club.
"I can't believe you took me to a male strip club." The petite raven haired beauty said over her shoulder to the leggy blond behind her.
The strikingly gorgeous blond laughed freely. "You can't tell me you didn't have a good time. I saw you were ogling the fireman."
Lady laughed. "Oh, I didn't say I didn't have a good time, Trish. I just can't believe you brought me here."
"Well if the boys can go to a strip club, then why can't we?" Trish countered.
"Uh, try your boy. Mine is too ridged to go to one of those 'fine establishments'." God, she could hear him now. "Have you heard the way he lectures Dante about going to Love Planet. Especially when he's devoted to you? Besides, that's not really his thing. Yours on the other hand, could probably work here." Lady said jokingly.
"Hmm, true. If he wasn't a demon hunter, he definitely be a stripper." Trish laughed wickedly at the thought of Dante on stage. I bet Vergil would never do anything like that."
They looked at each other and burst out laughing. "No, but I would pay big money to see that." Lady said in hysterics.
"I bet you he would if you asked him too. You know you have him wrapped around your finger. Even if he would never admit it." Trish egged her on.
"Well I wouldn't say all that, but I could tell you now that stripping would definitely be out of the question. "Lady gave a small laugh. "Plus, he's too 'dignified' for that." They laughed again. Lady couldn't see Vergil doing anything like that, but the idea was entertaining and it did make her a little curious, though she was pretty confident she knew the answer to that one.
When they reached the shop, the air was thick with tension. Vergil sat on the edge of the couch, elbows resting on his knees, fingers steepled. Dante sat backwards in a chain teetering on two legs. Both were staring at the chess board on the table.
Dante carefully made his move. "Check." He said triumphantly. Noticing the girls, "Hey babes, how was your night? Go anywhere exciting?" He smiled.
"It's obvious they went to a club Dante. You can smell it all over them." Vergil said not taking his eyes off the board. Moving his piece he gestured for Dante to bring his attention back to the game at hand.
"We did have a good time tonight, didn't we Lady?" Trish said as she kissed Dante's cheek and strolled into the kitchen.
"Yeah, it was something alright." She laughed lightly. Sidling up next to Vergil on the couch, she put her chin on his shoulder. He glanced at her giving her a small smile.
"You did go somewhere new?" Vergil inquired.
"We went to a male strip club!" Trish yelled from the other room.
Of course Dante lost his concentration and damn near gave himself whiplash as he turned to see Trish sauntering up to him. Both men then turned to Lady.
She straightened and held up her hands defensively. "Hey don't look at me. It wasn't my idea." All eyes returned to Trish.
"What? So a girl can't have any fun? It was just a little eye candy, not like we were going to do anything." She looked down at Dante. "Plus, you have made Love Planet your second home, so you really can't say anything, can you?"
Dante raised his eyebrows and cocked his head. She had him there. Vergil said nothing and returned his attention back to the game, but Lady could tell he wasn't in it. They stared at the board for a few moments before Lady reached over and picked up Dante's piece. "Checkmate. Can we go to bed now?" She looked doe eyed up at her blue devil.
Vergil glanced at her, then studied the board a minute longer before laying his king on its side. He stood and held his hand out to Lady, which she took immediately. "Goodnight." Looking at Dante, "You did not win that match."
"Whatever bro, I would have seen it anyway had Lady not beat me to it. " The red devil stood and picked up a cue stick. "Trish, you up for a game? Winner takes all." He wiggled his brows at her.
"I accept that challenge." She said grabbing her own stick. "Be prepared to give it up."
"Babe for you, I'd give it up anytime. Rack 'em."

Lady closed the door behind them as Vergil started to unbutton his shirt. Sitting on at the foot of the bed, she reached down to remove her heels. "You're mad at me, aren't you?" She watched as he got to the last button on his shirt then started on his belt, deftly pulling it through the loops.
"Now why would you think that?"
"Because you're always getting after Dante for going to see strippers." Her eyes were riveted to his hands as he began to unzip his pants. Mmm, he strips for me every day and doesn't even realize it.
Vergil stopped and came over to where Lady sat. She looked up at him as he cupped her face in his hands. Her heart beat a little faster. "I am not mad at you. I just don't see the point in it." He kissed her lips tenderly. Walking back towards the closet, he pulled his shirt off, one shoulder at a time, and then dropped his pants. Lady bit her lip at the sight.
I wonder- "Would you mind doing that a little slower and to music?"
He looked back over his shoulder at her, raising a brow. "I see Trish has created a monster." He smirked.
Lady shrugged. "It was just a thought." She proceeded to get ready for bed.
Vergil watched her disappear into the adjoining bathroom. "Just a thought indeed."
Leaning against the bathroom door he mused as Lady swayed her hips to a silent tune. She washed her face shaking her tush side to side. Vergil chuckled softly. Catching her gaze in the mirror he winked at her. She in turn blew him a kiss.
Finishing their nightly routine, she settled into his arms as he read. The light from the bedside table casting a soft glow on them, "Read to me Vergil." Lady yawned. All thoughts of exotic dancers left her mind as she breathed in his crisp cool scent. It only took a few pages before she was out like a light. He kissed her head as she snored lightly.

Vergil rose early the next morning not by choice. He sat at the kitchen table, a cup of warm tea in hand. Dante made his way downstairs wearing a pair of sweat pants. "You are up early." The elder said over his cup as he brought it to his lips. It was about 5:30, Dante was never up before ten.
"I haven't been to bed yet." He pulled a slice of pizza out of the box in the fridge. Dante leaned against the counter. He surveyed his brother's appearance. Vergil sat in his pajama bottoms, his hair was in disarray-even for bedhead, and there were tiny fading scratch marks over his chest and abdomen. Dante smirked, "Rough morning?"
Vergil gave him a sideways glance. "I was accosted in my sleep."
Dante tried to hold in his laughter. "Well that's one hell of a wakeup call."
"You're telling me." The elder twin said dryly.
"Feeling slightly taken advantage of, are ya?" The red devil twisted the cap off a bottle of beer. "You should have let her get it out of her system last night when she came home from the club."
"Is that why you're still up?" Dante grinned. Vergil nodded. "Not that I mind being woken in such a manner, it was just…unexpected."
"Man, are you still wigging out about the strip club thing? Don't tell me you're insecure? She came home to you, so what does it matter?" The younger devil took a pull from his beer.
"I am not insecure."
"Ooh, you're just mad that she took that shit from you?" Dante laughed.
Vergil glared. He wasn't going to tell Dante that the thought of Lady getting turned on by another man was driving him insane. He didn't want to play the jealous boyfriend.
"Look, just go up there have wild monkey sex with her and take back your manhood." Dante patted him on the shoulder and headed for the stairs.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Vergil said in a bored tone.
Dante snapped his fingers and ran back into the kitchen. He grabbed the snack tray he made for Trish and quickly bounded back up the stairs.
"And I need to reclaim my manhood." Vergil snorted. Finishing his tea, he smoothed back his hair and headed upstairs to insure that he would be the only man Lady would ever want.
