A/N

First let me apologize for how long this took to get out to you guys. Let me just put it this way, this is the seventh draft and the only one I didn't completely delete because I hated it.

So thank you for your patience. This has been an incredibly shitty two weeks for me, so I hope you guys enjoy & leave me some love. Cause, well, I could use some.

On that note – this chapter has smut in it. And by smut, I am warning you, there is some butt sex going on. So if that's not your cup of tea – skip ahead. You'll know where.

**And if you are under the legal age to buy smokes in the US. MOVE ALONG. You shouldn't be reading this story in the first place. Go text your BFFs or something.

Thank you to TwilightMomofTwo who beta'd this for me. I appreciate her help immensely.

Now on with the show…

Previously – The guys played poker after hours. Izzy had a crappy date that left her & Alice both drunk, sleeping it off in Edward's office. Alice & Jasper got to finally meet one another and Edward gallantly took Izzy home.

Chapter 6

As soon as I walked into the club on Wednesday I could feel the change in atmosphere. Edward was in his office, hunched over his desk, talking on the phone with a frantic look of despair written across his face. Aro appeared equally unsettled next door, pacing the small length of his own office and waving his hands to make a point to someone on the other end of his speaker phone.

The entire team had been called in early for a meeting today, and I could only wonder exactly what was going on.

"Hey Em, you have any idea what we're here for?" Felix whispered in my ear, taking a seat next to me at the conference table.

"Nope, but from the look on both of their faces, I can't imagine it's good." I nodded pointedly towards the two offices at the end of the room.

The rest of the crew trickled in until finally at eight fifteen, Edward and Aro emerged from their offices, both standing over the end of the table, both appearing like they hadn't slept in days.

"Thank you all for coming in a little early tonight or on your day off. We both appreciate it," Aro started. "Some things have recently come to light and effective immediately, Demetri has been terminated. He is not allowed on the premises. Should you see him around, please contact Edward or myself and we will have him removed."

Aro didn't explain any further, only suggesting that if we were seen hanging out with Demetri while we were on duty, our jobs would be at risk. I'd never really gotten along with the old bartender, but whatever the reason for his dismissal seemed to rest on the shadier side of Legal Street.

The rest of the meeting was a refresher on some procedures that had basically been ignored along with giving us some new policies we'd all be expected to follow. After twenty minutes, the meeting was adjourned, but it left me with more questions than answers.

I tried to catch up with Edward after the meeting, but he and Aro locked themselves back in their offices after telling all of us our assignments for the night.

Edward wouldn't even meet my eye as I departed the conference room, and I felt like I was being left out of the loop on purpose.

I'd been assigned as the roving bouncer in Ice tonight, and was on my third lap of the upstairs bar when I heard Aro's voice in my earpiece.

"Emmett, Caius has requested you. Thirty minutes."

His tone made it clear that there was to be no arguments from me, or at the very least he didn't feel like hearing them. My thoughts drifted to Rosalie and her disgusted face after she saw me leave my last scene with Caius. Now, she was efficiently working in the bar, not taking any notice of my circuit of laps around her station.

I stood in the shadows for a moment just observing. Her hair was pulled back into a severe ponytail perched high on top her head, making her look like one of those chicks I'd seen in a Madonna video long ago. Even with the look of concentration on her face, her beauty was unmistakable.

If only I could figure out what was going on with her and Royce, because he had to have some hold on her. There was no way she would stay with a man so obviously slimy unless there was a reason behind it, right?

My train of thought was cut off by the sight of Caius walking by and heading up to Felix who was at the VIP entrance to Ice tonight. He caught my eye, nodding once to let me know he was expecting me.

Shit, I'm really not up for his kinky ass tonight.

I wandered around for the rest of the half hour, killing time until I had to head up to the secret room behind the wall, unsure of what I might be walking into, and even though I wasn't in the mood, I couldn't help but be curious about what I'd find.

When my watch told me it was time, I headed past Felix, telling him to keep an eye on things while I was gone. His teasing comment I let slide, walking past him and into what could be the lion's den.

Slipping back into the alcove, I knocked twice and entered, the standard way I'd been instructed to enter any of Caius' scenes.

"Ah, Emmett, so good of you to join us," Caius called to me as soon as I entered the dimly lit room. "Please have a seat; I won't be requiring your assistance this evening. Unfortunately Brianna has decided to not play by my rules and is here for a little punishment, and while I'd love to stuff her mouth with your cock, just to shut her up, she enjoys giving head too much for me to allow it."

My mind whirred, wondering exactly what the statuesque blond had done to deserve his wrath, and I just hoped it wasn't above my comfortable kink level. Taking a seat in the chair by the door, I nodded to the older man, agreeing to his terms of watch but don't touch.

I stared in silence as Caius prowled the room like a feral cat just waiting to pounce on its prey. The poor girl just looked wide-eyed and shifted from foot to foot, appearing uncomfortable with the entire set up. If I hadn't have been briefed beforehand, I would have thought the girl was anything but a willing participant. But as the rules stated in the contract I'd signed, every person who entered this room was a consenting party to the activities that would take place.

"Now, Bree, you know exactly why you're here this evening, do you not?"

The blond nodded, eyes downcast to the floor, still shifting her feet. Either the girl had some serious nerves or something else was going on here. She was tall, maybe five foot ten with her towering heels on. She looked young though, mid-twenties being generous.

"Good, now, did you do what I asked before meeting me tonight?" He placed his drink tumbler on the bar beside them and stroked the girl's hair, not unlike petting your favorite cat.

"I did, Sir."

Her response was quick and compliant, as if she had been through this sort of thing before.

"Excellent." He spun her around so quickly she stumbled a bit, but she braced herself against the bar before her face could meet the counter.

Caius ran his hand down the back of her tiny black dress, unzipping it until it lay in a pile around her high-heeled feet. She stepped out, kicking the material away from the bar and stood with her beautiful bare back to me in only a black thong and her heels. I had to say; just the sight put me back in the mood to watch whatever spectacle Caius had in store for me.

I was mesmerized as Caius paced back and forth behind her, examining her from almost every angle, every now and then taking a sip from the liquid in his glass. His finger traced her slim figure, running down her arm that was leaned up against the bar and skimming down her back before coming to rest at the top of her ass, snapping her underwear for effect.

"Get rid of these," he barked, walking behind the bar and placing another tumbler beside his, filling it with ice and nothing else.

She did as he asked, whipping her panties off and tossing them aside with the rest of her clothes. It was only then that I could see what had been making her so uncomfortable.

The butt plug she was wearing was pulled unceremoniously out by Caius and plopped into the icy glass. I watched as he whispered something into her ear before stripping his own pants off, his erection popping straight up as soon as it was freed.

"You might want to brace yourself, dear; this isn't going to be gentle." Before she could even move he slammed into her already lubed and ready ass, causing her body to fumble for a moment, trying to get her feet and hands in order. Meanwhile, Caius didn't wait for her and kept plowing into her, his grip on her hip appeared like it would leave a mark in the morning.

I watched in pure amazement as the look on the girl's face went from wincing to bliss as her body too warmed up to his advancement. Although as soon as her hand crept off the bar, Caius chided her, reminding her that she wasn't going to get off this evening or for a while from the sound of his grunted rant.

"Emmett, I'd like you're help after all, if you're willing. Would you please come over here and hold Brianna's hand to the bar until I'm finished with her. She seems to have forgotten what this evening is about."

Standing, I tried my best to adjust the boner in my fitted pants, but figured it was a lost cause and ambled over to the opposite side of the bar and took her hands in my own, holding them flat against the bar. She kept her eyes on the bar, not speaking as Caius had ramped up his tempo.

Grabbing a fistful of her hair Caius ordered, "Eyes on Emmett, Bree."

She immediately obeyed, her blue eyes still a bit watery from what I assumed was the initial assault her ass had taken.

"If you can't hold his gaze, you'll be getting a repeat performance; only next time, we can try it without the plug to loosen you up first." He accented his words with a smack of his hand on her ass, all the while continuing his rear assault on the girl.

I had to give the guy credit, his stamina was noteworthy.

My eyes tried to hold her gaze, but her naked body standing right in front of me was too tempting to refuse. My eyes bounced between her perky swaying tits, down to the jut of her ass Caius was still nailing with gusto, and back up to see if she was still doing as she was told.

It was only a moment before he released with a grunt, tugging on her hair to get her to turn and give him a kiss.

As she turned her head, I immediately let go of her hands and took a step back, taking a deep breath to try and cool myself off. I hadn't watched a good reaming porno in quite some time, and the live action version I'd just witnessed had not disappointed.

As Caius pulled out, he grabbed a towel that was laying along the side of the bar to clean the two of them up, before swiftly grabbing the butt plug from the glass and shoving it back into the girl's ass.

Her eyes went wide by the chilly intrusion but she went back to her neutral face as soon as Caius reprimanded her. "I expect you to leave that in for the remainder of the evening until bed. If you take it out before then, I will find out, and believe me, you will not be happy if I do."

He spun from out of her grasp and put his pants back on before sauntering over to where I was still standing behind the bar.

"Thank you, Emmett, your envelope will be with Aro before you leave this evening."

I nodded and left the room, heading for the locker room to wash up and get my mind back on work. As I was passing Felix, he patted my back in a brotherly gesture but didn't inquire what had transpired, knowing I'd give him the details eventually.

After cleaning up, I exited the locker room and ran into Edward passing by, accompanied by two cops. They seemed to be headed toward Edward's and Aro's offices.

I had been away from work for too long already, but vowed to find out what the hell was going on once my shift ended.

~~00~~

"Man, that was a long ass night. How'd yours go?" Felix asked. He did a little bump and grind as we walked together, accentuating his point, knowing full well how mine was.

"Let's just say if I was a chick, I'd never want to piss Caius off, that's for sure."

"Ah, it was a punishment scene. Those are always interesting," Felix replied just as we walked into the conference room to pick up my check from Caius and to let Edward know we were taking off, but honestly, I was hoping I could get him to reveal why the cops were here.

"Emmett, can you come in here," Aro called from his office, for what I presumed was to give me my payment for tonight's little voyeur session. "Felix, this is going to be a while if you were planning to wait for Emmett."

My pulse sped up, and I was thinking that perhaps I'd done something wrong since Aro had all but told Felix to get the fuck out of here. As soon as Felix waved goodbye to us all, Edward entered Aro's office, shutting the door behind him.

"Hey, man. Have a seat," Edward asked. He sat down alongside me facing Aro's imposing stare.

Silence and the tented fingers in front of Aro's face.

Shit.

Not good.

Not good at all.

"What is going on? Am I fired? Did I do something wrong? Why were there cops here?" I knew I was rambling, but the pressure of having your two superiors call you into the office and not say anything for a full minute was unnerving.

"Relax, Emmett. You didn't do anything. We just had some news I thought you'd want to know and a little side job if you're willing." Aro spoke soothingly. It was weird, really, but it did calm me instantly.

"Okay, so what's going on?"

"First, Demetri was fired for dealing drugs. That's why the cops were here. It seems he dealt your friend Alice an eight ball she was unable to handle, and she ended up in the ER on Sunday night with an overdose. Jasper got it out of her who'd sold it to her and told Edward, but I was out in the Hamptons until this morning, so I was unable to do anything about it until today," Aro explained calmly, waiting for my reaction to the news.

It wasn't surprising that Alice was on drugs. Shit, half of the club goers who came here were high on something, but I knew having a dealer on the inside of our operation could be really bad for Aro.

"You might want to call Izzy one of these days. Jasper said Alice's parents basically blamed her for Alice's addiction and kicked her out of the hospital. It wasn't a pleasant scene from the sound of it. She just might need a friend," Edward reminded me, as I sat dumbfounded by the news.

"Now, I'm hoping you'll also be willing to help us out. From what the detectives told us, they've had their eye on our club for a while and are trying to figure out the source of the drugs. Demetri isn't the guy running the show, and when they picked him up, he wasn't talking."

"So basically you want me to be the resident narc for the club now?" I was skeptical about the entire thing. I was observant, but did I really want to be the one responsible for bringing down some drug lord? Not something I needed to get involved with right now.

"I know that's what it sounds like, but from what Edward told me, you're one of the best employees we have, and your job allows you to observe things without being noticed."

Aro was on the verge of pleading with me to help him, but I still wasn't sure I wanted accept it.

"What if this new task comes with a ten percent raise?"

I knew he was in full negotiation mode by the smirk he had on his face. He really wanted me to do this, and I knew if I played my cards right, I could get more than ten percent.

"Twenty and you have a deal."

"Excellent."

Before Aro could get too full of himself, I made my terms apparent. "I will do this, but I will not step in anywhere that might endanger my life. I will report what I see or hear to you. What you do with that information is up to you. "

"That sounds fair, at least until a trial and they want you to testify."

Shit, I hadn't thought of that, but figured that would be a long ways off and agreed to the deal.

"I'd appreciate if you kept this new task of yours in confidence. We aren't sure who might be involved yet. I'm sure you understand."

"Of course. I'll keep this between the three of us."

As I turned to leave, Edward called out to let me know that I might not see Izzy around the club since Alice was taking a turn in rehab for a while. I could only nod and know that I needed to give her a call when I woke up. I had a funny feeling she'd really need a friend now, especially if the paps got wind of Alice's new residence; they'd hound Izzy relentlessly to get the scoop.

"Oh, and Emmett, here's your fee." Aro called out before I had a chance to walk through the door. Taking the fat envelope from his hands, I wished them a good night and left for home with a quick pit stop at the ATM and a lot of shit to think about.
