Siophiefandom – Thank you as always for reviewing! I'm curious, how did you think it would go down?

Guest1/Confused – Of course Paige would have won this fight if it was against anyone else. She's had so much experience in this situation. The only reason why she lost was because of all the emotions flowing through her…especially being confronted face to face. It came out of nowhere and Paige had no idea how to respond. All she wanted to do was run. That's why I figured she'd yield. Thank you so much for reviewing!

DarkBlueMint – I completely agree! I kind of thought back to the episode where Paige gave the note to the cops about Alison. She just wanted to protect her girlfriend…but somehow Emily only sees things her way.

Naiel2017/pailyshark – Lol, thank you! And thank you for always reviewing. I really appreciate it!

EmGarretson22 – Hahaha! WELL…define "soon". I thinkkkkk my soon is a bit longer than your soon.

Guest2 – Every time you say that I just want to post sooner. Thank you so much for enjoying the story so far!

Thecatfromaliceinwonderland – Lol! OK…now it's my turn to confess something. My intension was for you to feel kinda lousy after I introduced Alison so I know it wasn't because of those Christmas cookies. I promise I'll make things better…eventually. I mean I just introduced Alison! You think I'd stop at just one chapter? I thought you knew me better. AND I guess we think alike. I also thought about that episode of where Hanna and Emily were dancing! But I thought about that episode for this chapter…and it was more so Emily that I had in mind. Thank you as always!

CaliGrlFoLife, Jessi1288, Xweet338 and bebeden12 – Thank you so much for the PM's and encouragement!

Tonight Paige only had one main objective in mind. Clenching her jaw as she fastened the single button on her chambray ruched sleeve jacket, Paige smoothly made her way into Lace Night Club. When the team found out their next task was at a local strip club, their silence spoke for itself. Majority of the drug lords they've captured owned such clubs; giving them enough experience to easily walk in and execute their operation. However this time around, the team knew it was going to be different. They weren't looking for any of Caminiti's men; they were looking for his daughter.

After forensics came back with multiple prints matching not only Caminiti and his men, but his daughter as well; the team's best bet was to trail the girl. If Caminiti was willing to take a civilian and Commander right off the street, anyone close to Caminiti is technically fair game. After doing a bit of research on the new target, they managed to find out Claire Caminiti was a skilled DJ; known to basically everyone within the area as DJ Raunchy. The girl was undeniably gorgeous; however seemed to not allow that to get over her head. In majority of the pictures they've seen of the dirty blonde, she had endless amount of fans flaunting over her; especially woman. Using that a hunch, Paige knew she and Skylar were going undercover tonight; with Dave as a backup in case their hunch was wrong.

Selecting her plunging white V-neck blouse, Paige tucked it into her slim fitted chambray pants that went along with her ruched sleeve jacket. The auburn girl was ready to sit in the audience and play by ear what she might find out about Claire. Skylar on the other hand would be taking the stage as she would be playing a more straightforward role. Dave on the other hand would play a similar role to the auburn girl; however he would be staying out of view until it was necessary. While the three made sure their covers weren't blown, Aiden and Dylan would be the eyes and ears of the team tonight allowing the rest to know where and when to go.

Paige knew the assignment was the complete opposite of what her old friends where use to. Deciding to hide the details from everyone; especially when it came to a certain brunette, Paige felt somewhat relieved Emily wouldn't have to see her in such a situation. After the confrontation during their match back at headquarters, Paige didn't even know how to begin a conversation with the girl and refused to have any interaction with Emily until she knew what to say. Grabbing a whiskey neat from the bar once she entered the premise, Paige took a sip as she took in the appearance of the lounge.

The entire area had a rustic feel to it. With the lights low, the auburn girl saw the stage was in a form of an S with a pole at the front as well as the back; fitting tables below the area. The second level was restricted for VIP suitors which wasn't the team's primary focus, however the DJ booth located in the center of the 2nd floor was. Knowing she wasn't going to be able to get up there by herself, Paige decided to take a seat within view of the certain blonde. Paige wanted Claire to be able to see her face but didn't want to be too obvious. Therefore settling on the left side of the stage, the auburn girl figured her right side was perfect to present.

Taking another sip of her drink to calm her nerves, Paige glanced over at a few of the dancers that were performing before hearing a familiar voice in her ear piece.

"How you holding up over there McCullers? You seem a bit squeamish" she heard Aiden ask.

Resting her chin in the palm of right hand, Paige was able to whisper loud enough that the pin on her collar picked it up. "Well unlike some other people I may know that has experience in this place, I don't need to pay for someone to give me a lap dance"

"Ouch P, be careful. I'm expecting you to give a good tip for what's going down tonight" Skylar soon joined.

"Well you better put on a performance I'd pay for" Paige retorted with a smirk.

"I always knew you wanted to see me dance" Skylar replied with a slight laugh. "But I need you to promise me something"

"What? No bills in the thong area?" Paige answered as she leaned back.

"Don't hate me for what's about to happen" Skylar whispered. "It wasn't my idea"

Scrunching her eyebrows in confusion, Paige felt the air around her stand still as the lights completely turned off except for on the stage. Wanting to clarify the statement just made, the auburn girl was about respond but was interrupted by the announcer.

"I'd like to give you all a warm welcome to the luscious Lace Lounge tonight" the man began in a deep seductive voice. "Hope you're all enjoying the evening so far and know it's far from over. I have a…special performance for you all tonight. Visiting us from California for tonight only I'd like you welcome…Ms. Bronze Buttah"

With that, a loud of applauses vibrated throughout the crowd as Paige's eyes widen as she realized what Skylar meant. "Get her the fuck off that stage right now"

"Paige, she offered to help even knowing what she had to do" Aiden responded.

"You better get her the fuck off that stage or I'll do it for you" Paige furiously replied as she watched in horror as Emily's back was pressed against the back pole as the brunette caressed her entire body against it as she slowly made her way down the cold metal before gliding her way seductively upward in line with the beat from the Weeknd's "Wicked Games".

"P, we didn't have enough time to train Skylar on a performance. Emily was the only one who had enough dance experience to try to put something together. We even tried using Hanna" Dylan tried explaining.

As Paige's eyes were glued to the brunette as she seductively made her way across the stage in her extremely short black laced dress, the auburn was about to respond when a few of the front lights slowly went up preventing Paige from saying anything; only watching in agony as the bronze beauty continued bending over as she flipped her hair to the side in one smooth motion before dropping to the floor and crawling seductively toward the front pole.

Paige swore the pool of wetness forming between her legs was going to leak straight through her pants as felt her heart was beating in her throat. Completely gawking at the sexy brunette on the stage, Paige couldn't help but feel sexually frustrated as she watched Emily expertly dance on the pole. Feeling her eyes glued on the girl's long legs, the auburn girl suddenly felt a pair of eyes on her. Gradually drifting her eyes upward, Paige found herself staring right into the brunette's chocolate brown eyes as the girl continued to make her way down the pole.

Parting her lips when she noticed Emily beginning to unzip her dress from the side, Paige struggled to simply swallow as her left eyebrow arched at the sudden appearance of the brunette's red bra. Bracing back to keep her composure, Paige took another sip of her whiskey to try to hide her anxiety as she noticed Emily beginning to make her way toward her. Keeping her eyes on the brunette, the auburn couldn't help but drift them down ever so slightly when she witnessed the top of Emily's dress fall completely down and around her hips; exposing the girl's luscious curves.

Struggling to breathe at this point, Paige unconsciously licked her lips as Emily turned her back toward the auburn girl and grabbed her thighs; using them as support before bending down slowly. Pretending to not be affected, Paige began leaning on her right elbow as her right hand remained sprawled out on the arm rest; taking a sip of her whiskey drink once more with her left. As Emily turned around to face her client, she grabbed and held onto Paige's gaze before gripping the top of the chair and moved in to straddle the girl; smiling as she felt the auburn girl graze her fingers over her bare thighs to hold her steady.

Emily knew Paige was nervous; Emily was nervous herself. But she also knew they both had to put on this show besides the fact that they were barely managing to hide their feelings. For some reason, ever since Emily finally saw Paige after all these years, a part of her thought Paige though little of the brunette. After all, Emily didn't leave Rosewood or do anything she discussed about wanting. The most adventurous thing she's done in the last 8 years was go to New York for a bachelorette party for a weekend. Her entire life was back in Rosewood. That was her bubble. Yet here was Paige; a Special Ops Officer who traveled the world and lived on danger. Emily felt as though she needed to prove she wasn't that angel people assumed her to be.

And with that in mind, Emily unzipped the rest of her dress; exposing her matching red panties. Watching as Paige's eyes traveled down her body, Emily felt satisfied over the strong effect she had over the auburn girl once she watched the girl's lips part. Gently grabbing Paige's right hand, Emily led it toward her body as she grazed it down her toned abdomen; arching her back at the feel of the auburn girl touching her. Closing her eyes in complete restlessness, Emily parted her lips as she gradually opened her eyes; finding herself staring right into the lustful gaze of one Paige McCullers.

Knowing the song was about to finish, Emily had one final move. Grabbing the top of Paige's chair one last time, Emily pushed herself upward as she teased the auburn girl with her perfect chest before leisurely gliding her fingers within the deep V-neck shirt the auburn girl was wearing to caress the girl's toned stomach. Leaning toward the right side of Paige's ear, Emily managed to whisper "I think you're supposed to show some sort of appreciation if you liked the performance". Watching as the girl swallowed beneath her, she felt Paige's warm hands graze gradually up the back of her thigh before reaching the edge of her panties. Looking down as the auburn girl's fingers lingered there; Emily parted her lips as Paige began playfully pulled on the lingerie's waistline as though she would rip them off before inserting a few dollars.

Smirking a bit as the song ended, Paige knew Emily was as turned on as she was; but the girl was also floored at such a risky move. Watching as Emily made her way back toward the curtains; Paige ignored the announcer as she whispered back into her collar. "Get Emily out of here now"

"P, what are you talking about. This where we need her now." Dave stated as he was confused.

"I'm not risking her life for the sake of this task" Paige calmly replied.

"What if Claire was more into my performance then she is into you?" Emily suddenly chimed into the conversation.

"Then she'll do anything to get you and we'll be there to intercept that" Paige replied as she got up from her chair; needing to relieve that sudden pressure between her legs. "As for now, I want you to leave"

"No" Emily firmly stated.

"Paige, she is not leaving and this is a direct order" Aiden firmly stated. "We know she's your friend, but we'll be watching her. No one is going to hurt her"

Sighing loudly in frustration as she entered the woman's rest room, Paige slammed the door so hard she made the attendant jump. Timidly realizing her behavior, Paige mumbled "sorry" before making her way into one of the stalls. Knowing full well she couldn't take care of that release she desperately needed with someone else in the room, Paige was only able to wipe herself dry before closing her eyes and trying to focus on the task at hand.

***8 Years Ago***

Squatting down near the large tree in front of Rosewood High to tie the left side of her fusion Nike sneakers before jumping back on her FSX aluminum mountain bike, Paige didn't think she would be in anybody's way; however was seemingly mistaken the second she felt someone stumble into her.

Imprudent and daft were two terms someone would ever call Paige McCullers. The brown eye pupil knew she was far from any path any of the students would take. Furrowing her brows as she looked up to see who exactly stumbled into her, Paige immediately caught glance at the same blue eye beauty she's been dreading for weeks.

"I am so sorry" Alison apologized but seemed somewhat bogus as she did so. "I didn't see you there"

"It's fine" Paige simply stated before standing up and began walking away. She wasn't in the mood to have to deal with her own emotions let alone the cause of them.

"Hey wait" the blonde beauty exclaimed as she walked a little quicker to catch up to the auburn girl. "You're Paige right? Paige McCullers?"

Refusing to stop walking, Paige kept her eyes straight as she answered. "Yeah"

"I thought I recognized you. I'm Alison" the blonde eye beauty greeted. "I just transferred here from Ravenswood. You're friends with Emily Fields right? I saw you guys during lunch yesterday"

"That's right" Paige simply replied as she continued walking. Paige knew she could have just jumped on her bike and ride away; but she could just imagine what would be said at school the next day. She'd be known as the girl who was completely rude to the new girl for no reason at all.

Nodding at the acknowledgement, Alison sustained her conversation. "Right. I knew that was you. I hate to admit this, but I'm actually kind of envious of you"

Taken aback by such a statement, Paige finally stopped as she turned to the blonde beauty. "Why's that?" she asked confused.

"Because you could see that gorgeous girl anytime you want" Alison replied slyly with small smirk as she slowly began walking ahead of the girl; waiting for Paige to follow her.

"Is there something I could help you with Alison?" Paige asked heatedly.

Widening her smile, Alison knew she finally got through to the auburn girl. "Do you by any chance know what Emily's type is? I mean, I know she's into girls. But, is she more into…you know"

Increasingly getting angry at what the girl was insinuating; Paige stood firmly where she stood. "I don't know"

"Girls like you or girls like me?" the blonde beauty bluntly stated as she turned around and caught Paige's stare.

"Excuse me?" Paige furiously replied.

"It's not a secret you know" Alison stated before beginning to walk slowly again hoping the auburn girl would follow her this time. "There's a clear difference between you know… girls like me and girls like you"

"Please…do tell" the auburn girl retorted.

"You need me to spell it out for you huh?" Alison asked in a tone that made Paige feel belittled. "I see. Well Paige. There are girls like me. Attractive. Admired. Smart. Sassy. And trust me, the list goes on and on. I mean, when people look at me, they know I'm bringing something new to the table. Then…there are girls like you; barely mediocre" she stated as she looked at the doleful girl up and down before continuing. "Dull. Typical. I mean, for godsakes…you do own a mirror right? Do you see the way you dress? I'm not saying this to mean. Take it as a helpful hint. But I do want to know if Emily goes after girls like you or me" she finished before turning around to carry on walking.

The feeling of stupidity and ugliness dawned on Paige. She never thought of herself as the most good looking girl at school, but she at least thought she was decent. Alison was right though. What girl would ever want someone who's typical and dull when they could have someone spunky and sassy? Emily was perfect and deserved the best. That's why Emily was so attracted to Alison. She was the new toy in school. The blonde's aura seeped adventure; that was something she would never have. "Who says I want Emily?" she mumbled.

"Please" Alison simply stated as she turned around to look at the insecure girl. "You were practically swimming in your own drool during PE class. You want her" the blonde beauty revealed before walking up dangerously close to the auburn girl. "You want her as bad as I want her. We just have to see who wins. After all, we can't all be Versace" she stated with a smirk. Observing Paige for a second longer than she should, Alison finally walked off leaving Paige in her own thoughts. "Give Emily my best"

***Present Day****

After a few minutes, Paige gained back her composure back as she made her way out of the restroom and over to the bar area. After that piece Emily just performed, the auburn girl was in need for something stronger than a drink; but that's all she was able to have at the moment before finishing the task at hand.

Putting her ear piece back on, Paige immediately heard her team lead speak up again. "P, Emily is staying. She's getting dressed right now and will be out there in a few minutes to see if she is within Claire's sights"

Paige selected one of the bar stools that had a clear view of the stage as well as the rest of the area before raising her arm to call over the bartender and hide the motion of her lips. "That's great. When did we start using civilians as bait?" she asked before placing her arm down when the bartender came over. "Can I have a whiskey neat?"

"Whiskey neat?" a charming voice asked from Paige's left as the woman took a seat right next to her. "After that performance I would expect you need an ice cold shower. I'll have what she's having" the sandy hair blonde stated as she saw the bartender bring over Paige's drink.

"Tell me about it" Paige replied as she kept her focus forward; taking a sip of her whiskey. "They should have rooms in the back to relieve that sudden…pressure"

Smirking to herself at the response, the petite woman took a sip of her own drink. "They do" she stated before turning to face Paige. "So why aren't you running over there to take that brunette to the back?"

Turning a bit to give the hazel eye beauty a quick glance before turning a bit more in time to see Emily make her entrance toward the crowd, the auburn girl answered. "She isn't really my type"

"Really? Why's that? Too angelic?" the blue-eye blonde asked as she spun fully around to face the brunette as she watched Emily lean into one of the customers before swaying seductively in front of her.

Paige might have blown her own cover if Emily was dancing for anyone other than one person. But thankfully that person was Skylar who was keeping an eye on the girl. Twisting her own body around to match the smaller woman before her, Paige took another sip of her whiskey before answering her. "I used to be into the whole angelic thing. But that phase quickly passed" the auburn girl stated as she knew Emily was still listening on her earpiece.

"And why was that?" the edgy bob hair girl asked as she gave Paige a sly grin. "The girl back home broke your heart?"

Feeling the intensity of Emily's eyes on her, the girl didn't know just how right she was. "I just quickly realized how many other types of girls were out there besides the typical good girl when I left home" the auburn girl answered as she combed her hair back with her right arm so everyone listening could hear her clearly. Easily seeing Emily's head snap in her direction, Paige knew the brunette's face became stern.

"What types did you find?" the blonde asked.

"You know, you seem to be very interested in me for some reason" Paige retorted as she turned slightly to face her guest.

"What can I say? You intrigue me" the stranger replied seductively as she took a sip of her drink. "So what phase are you in right now?"

"Right now? I'm all about experience. But I like it mixed with a little sassiness in them" Paige somewhat honestly responded. Observing as the dirty blonde began roaming her eyes over Emily; Paige used it as an opportunity to find out more about the stranger. "But hey, if that girl was your type, feel free to go for it"

"If she was my type, I'd already have her. But she's not" the beauty slyly responded as she looked toward Paige before roaming her eyes up and down the auburn girl.

"So what's your type?" Paige asked as she gave the girl a sexy smirk.

"I like my girls to have a little sassy side to them" the blonde beauty seductively responded as she gave Paige a wink before taking another sip.

Liking the response, Paige couldn't help but smile. "Touché". Stretching out her hand to give the girl a handshake, Paige introduced herself. "Kat"

"Claire" the team's target replied as she reciprocated the smile and shuck Paige's hand.

That was all the confirmation the team needed before focusing their attention toward Paige and Claire. Caminiti's daughter fell for their bait. Paige was more than ecstatic it was her rather than the brunette. She honestly didn't know how she would have handled watching this girl flaunt herself over Emily. Taking another sip to cover her happiness, Paige focused her attention back toward her target.

"So Claire. Do see you someone that might be your type?" the auburn girl asked without shifting her gaze away from the blonde.

"Potentially" Claire answered as she held Paige's gaze.

"What would turn that potential to a definitely?" Paige flirtatiously asked as she bit her bottom lip.

"Depends" Claire mysteriously responded as she looked back to the crowd.

"On?" Paige asked as she looked toward Emily who clearly watching the pair from her hindsight.

"If you like a little danger" Claire stated as she downed the rest of her drink before standing up.

"You have no idea" Paige smirked.

"I do have to admit, I can't dance like her. But I can guarantee you I have way more moves" the blonde beauty replied as she leaned into Paige as though she was going to kiss her; but instead left a tip right behind the auburn girl.

"For some reason I'd like to believe you" Paige whispered back as Claire was so close to her she could feel her breathing. "But I've been burned before. I try to not believe anything until I see it for myself"

"That can be arranged" Claire huskily replied before walking away seductively as she managed to flaunt every asset she had.

Surprised by how gutsy the target had seem to be, Paige remained by the bar stool in complete awe before hearing Skylar on her ear piece. "Follow her. She's obviously asking for it. P, that's an easy play right there"

Glancing over to her hazel eye team mate, Paige drifted her eyes over to the brunette who was visibly pissed at the scene unraveling before her. Emily knew this was all part of their mission to bring the target in; she would be doing the same exact thing as Paige if Claire had went for her; but she couldn't help being jealous.

Paige looked incredible tonight. But it was her eyes that Emily couldn't get out of her mind. Those eyes that sunk into her during the entire night. The eyes that had so much lust and wanting in them. Paige didn't have to admit to anything verbally. Emily had all the confirmation she needed the instant she held the girl's gaze. Emily could easily see and feel how much Paige wanted her. She couldn't help but revel in that feeling. But now, she had to watch as the girl made her way out of the club with another girl; even though this was their job. Continuing her lap dance on the hazel beauty before her, Paige could easily tell it was nowhere close to what Emily did to her.

Downing her drink to gain some liquid courage, Paige gave one last glance at the brunette before leaving a tip on the bar counter and walking in the direction of her new priority. She had one job at that moment. That job was to follow Claire Caminiti.
