So, what do ya do when you successfully take over a crappy town. Celebrate? Open a bottle of bubbly? Throw a parade? Crack some skulls? Something fun, right? But nope. Not if ya my boss. Or me, apparently. Boss man was happy for maybe an hour once we got Sunnydale on locked down and that magical barrier up to keep people out of our business, then he started yammering on about other threats and how I needed to deal with them before they come for us.
So here I am, San Francisco. Got to say, there are worse places to be. Honestly though I'm already a little homesick. Sunnydale was just getting good, especially now I've got myself a pet who I'm missing so bad.
Grinning wickedly I reached into my back pocket and pulled out the picture I took of B before I left, cute as a button in her collar and fluffy tailed butt-plug, eyes downcast in shame. I'll soon beat that out of her, but for now I like that she's fighting me. It'll just make it sweeter when she finally breaks and becomes my obedient little bitch.
Damn, just thinking about B makes me all hot and horny. Wish I could have bought her with me, but she isn't housebroken enough yet. Keeps trying to run away on me. Oh well, I'm a smoking hottie in a town full of rug munchers. I reckon I can find a sweet young thing to give me a lil' lickin'. Maybe get me a little ass too. What am I saying, definitely some ass.
So I tuck my picture of B into my back pocket and turn into the nearest dyke bar to where I'm staying. In the process I'm nearly knocked over by a pale little thing trying to scurry out of the door. Black as night hair, creamy skin, real red lips, tight little dress hugging her curves. She'd make a good Snow white if that dress wasn't showing off her titties so much. Actually she kinda looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.
"S, sorry." She mumbled, trying to get past me.
Instinctively I blocked the exit. Briefly I considered whether it was worth the trouble, but fuck it. She was cute.
Putting on the most soft and comforting smile I could muster I said, "First time."
From the look on her face she noticed it wasn't a question, "Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah, but don't worry. There's nothing scary in here." I said.
"You sure about that." She said with them raised eyebrow, looking at a couple of butches in the corner.
"Them? They're harmless?" I said, then on second thoughts, "But hey, if you're worried I could protect you."
"I don't need anyone's protection." She snapped, obviously hitting a nerve.
"Whatever you say cutie." I smiled, looking her up and down.
"Hey, I don't." She insisted, "I can take care of myself."
"I believe you." I said, trying to sound sincere and doing a pretty good job of it if I do say so myself.
There was an awkward pause and then her shoulders slumped, "Sorry, I've just been a little on edge lately."
"No harm, no foul." I shrugged, before taking a tiny step forward, "Anyway, can I buy you a drink."
She bit her lip, "I don't know."
"Oh come on, you just got here. You really want to leave, just to work up the nerve to come back." I said. It was practically scripted out in my head at this point as I had talked many a first-timer back into a bar before talking my way into their pants. Waiting a beat I added, "Look, just stay for one drink, and if I bore you, or if you feel weird or something you can scurry away like nothing happened with those lingering questions of yours pretty much answered."
There was a very long pause, then inevitably she sighed, "One drink."
I smiled widely, first because I knew I had her hooked and just needed to reel her in, secondly because she turned around and showed off a damn fine ass as she wiggled it on her way to the bar. I followed close behind, trying not to stare at her ass too much, although she almost got me when she looked over her shoulder.
"I'm Paige by the way." She said, causing me to frown in recollection for a few seconds, prompting her to add nervously, "Matthews. Paige Matthews. That's erm, my name."
"Faith." I replied without thinking and then inwardly cursed myself. Boss man had given me an alias, and maybe I should have used it, but I doubted anyone in this town knows what a Slayer is, let alone the name of the current one.
"Really? That's... erm, different." Paige briefly frowned before smiling, "I like, different."
Her smile got a little flirtatious towards the end. It was more cute than anything. Showing her how it's done I grinned wide enough to show off my dimples and purred, "That's why you're here, right?"
"Yeah, pretty much." Paige blushed, before adding a little more gently, "So, you were buying me a drink?"
"Lead the way." I said, still trying to figure out why her name was familiar.
A couple more seconds later everything clicked into place and I did a pretty good job of fighting the urge to grin if I do say so myself. Course, it wasn't exactly guaranteed, but as we sat down and started talking it looked increasingly promising. When she eventually excused herself to go to the bathroom I checked out the other photo I had in my pocket and sure enough it was her.
Paige Matthews. One of the three witches, known as The Charmed Ones, that I'm here to 'subdue'. Boss's words, not mine. He then added that killing was preferable but as I had particular... quirks, I should feel free to explore other options. Hadn't been sure just from the photos, after all killing would be a lot quicker and easier, but now I've got one practically throwing herself at me I might as well have at least a little fun before things turn nasty.
And make no mistake she was throwing herself at me. Yeah, she was a little unsure of herself at first, but once I had a few drinks in her she just wouldn't shut up. She kept yapping on about her sisters, her home life, her sisters, her lousy job, even louser boyfriends, lousy men in general, and did I mention her sisters who she always seemed to have a weird fixation on. I was only half listening, and maybe not even that, because despite a few crumbs of intel on the other Charmed Ones what she was saying wasn't that interesting. It was what she wasn't saying which interested me.
The way she looked at me, bit her lip, smiled, and leaned in to talk to me, almost like she was sharing a secret. Perhaps most telling of all was when she would catch herself staring at my lips or my boobs, the latter of which was being put on display by one of my lowest cut tops designed to pick up hotties. It seemed to be working, although I was risking serious friend-zone if I didn't make a move soonish.
So since it had been several hours, and drinks, since we first met I finally got to the good stuff, "So how long have you been into girls?"
"I'm not really sure." Paige said, going quiet for a few seconds before adding, "I guess... I guess I've just been having some... thoughts lately. Really, really inappropriate thoughts."
"Inappropriate?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"No, not, I, I mean." She stammered before sighing, "You wouldn't understand."
"Try me." I pushed.
She was quiet for a minute and then said, "I, I guess I recently met a couple of girls, and they're great, really they are, and nothing could ever happen because it would be inappropriate and weird. But just because we're... friends. Like really, really good friends."
"Sounds like you want to be more than friends." I smiled.
"Well I don't." Paige insisted, then when I didn't look convinced added, "No, seriously, I don't. I would never... it just, can't happen. But, it got me thinking, that I should, you know... try something, different."
We exchanged a smile, and I offered, "And get all these inappropriate and weird thoughts out of your system?"
