Paul soaked in the moment as he took to his makeshift stage to announce the contest. He had been planning this party for months. His annual Halloween parties had become legendary in certain circles in Los Angeles, spoken about in hushed whispers over stiff drinks.
Halloween was Paul's favorite holiday because it gave license for typically reserved people to unleash their unbridled sexuality. It was by far the sluttiest holiday, he thought.
Securing an invitation on his carefully curated guest list was not easy. He eschewed the celebrity class. He disliked actors and preferred to surround himself with people who had other careers in the entertainment industry. After a couple of decades in California he had finally found his crowd. People who were fit and healthy and beautiful but also down to earth and comfortable in their own skin. People he genuinely enjoyed.
Paul had the means to throw a truly extravagant celebration, having achieved real success in his career as a film producer. Every year he pulled out all the stops, trying to outdo himself. This year, his estate had been transformed inside and out with dance floors, elaborate decorations and numerous surprises for his guests. He had hired several performers including an aerialist, a pole dancer, and go-go dancers. They were all costumed, of course, along with the wait staff and bartenders.
He looked out over the gathering crowd and was impressed by the intricate and provocative costumes. He thought back on last year's party. By the end of the sexiest costume contest, there was not a soft cock in the house. This year he planned to up the stakes significantly.
Paul welcomed the crowd and announced the rules of the contest. At the stroke of midnight, contestants would take to the stage, one group at a time, and perform a skit of their own invention. Each participant would play the character dictated by their costume.
"If you're dressed as a sexy vampire, you play a sexy vampire," he explained. "You'll have use of some simple props, a table, some chairs, but mostly your creativity will make the difference. I know this is an artistic crowd and I expect great things."
The sexiest performance, in his sole judgement, would win the grand prize. The prize was an all-expenses paid trip to Cabo to spend a week at Paul's private villa with full use of his house manager and personal chef.
At this announcement, his guests began to chatter excitedly. Paul spoke up over the din. "The only rule is that photography is strictly prohibited, for the sake of our contestants. Anyone caught with their phone out during the performances will have it confiscated by my staff." He looked around at his guests to make sure they knew he was serious.
"Okay, come on up here and put your group on the list any time before midnight. In the meantime, eat up, drink up and enjoy yourself!"

THE ARREST
"So's this how you thought we'd be spending our third date?" Emily asked.
"Not quite!" Adam laughed. "Figured we'd be watching some Netflix, maybe getting ready to 'Chill'." He raised his eyebrows, making it clear that he was joking. Kind of.
"Just didn't expect to be 'chilling' in front of an audience for the first time, huh?"
"I told you we didn't have to enter the contest," he said.
"It'll be fun! I don't even care about winning."
"Wouldn't it be more fun to watch everyone else make a fool of themselves?"
"You're not chickening out on me."
"A lot of my friends are here, Emily."
"C'mon Adam. I thought you were 'willing to try anything once'," she said tossing a quote from his Tinder profile back at him.
"Babe."
"I won't embarrass you. Don't you trust me?" She brushed a lock of strawberry blonde hair out of her face and looked up at him with soft green eyes. Her smile curved mischievously at the edges. That face gutted him. He knew it would always make him give in.
"I do, I think." He grinned. "Anyway, it's not my hot little ass that everyone is going to be staring at up there."
"Don't be so sure. I gotta show all those lady friends of yours who you belong to now." She winked as she smacked his ass.
"Up first," Paul's voice shouted over the chatter, "we have Emily and Adam! Please come to the stage!"
Emily grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the front of the room.
"Shit." Adam's heart was racing. "So, what's our plan again?"
"I'm going to arrest your ass."
"Okay. I'll follow your lead."
"Don't worry, I've watched a lot of Law and Order."
They were greeted with clapping and catcalls from the crowd as they stepped onto the stage.
"Emily, it's a real pleasure to meet you," Paul said. "You look fetching in your uniform. I see you're an FBI agent?" He pointed to the bold letters on one side of her large chest.
"Federal Body Inspector, actually." Emily turned around and pointed to the text on her back. Her black uniform jumpsuit wore more like a long-sleeved one-piece bathing suit. It was skintight and was cut high, exposing the bottom half of her tan butt cheeks.
"Lucky for us!" Paul said, pausing to admire Emily's petite figure. "And Adam, I see you're still doing CrossFit."
Adam shrugged an acknowledgement. His convict uniform consisted of orange spandex briefs that were barely larger than a speedo. Black suspenders ran up his otherwise bare torso, showing off his muscular chest and rippling six pack abs.
"Thank you guys for going first." Paul turned to the crowd. "They will be performing a skit called 'The Arrest'. Let's give them a warm round of applause and help them break the ice up here."
The crowd got loud. "Take it away guys!" Paul exited the stage and after a moment the crowd quieted down.
Emily wasted no time, startling Adam and the crowd by shouting "Hold it right there, mister!" She pointed at him. "I'm a Federal Body Inspector and I need to inspect you because you may be in violation of Regulation 69 - being too hot in a public place."
A few good-natured laughs let them know the crowd was game and not critical of the cheesy beginning.
"Well, hello officer." Adam replied in a smooth voice, belying his nerves. "I like the way you wear your uniform."
"I have to warn you that anything you say can and will be held against you."
"Your tits!" Adam called out while pointing at her chest and laughing at his own joke. The audience laughed with him and someone let out a whoop. The zipper on the front of Emily's uniform was open to the base of her sternum, flaunting her gravity defying cleavage.
"Cute." She gave a fake smile before reaching out and grabbing his outstretched hand. She twisted it hard in a move she'd learn in Krav Maga. It caught Adam off guard and spun him around.
Adam made an exaggerated face and mouthed "Ow" to the audience as Emily held him in an arm lock from behind. "Spread your legs," she commanded as she kicked his feet past shoulder width apart.
"Yes ma'am," Adam said as he complied.
"I'm going to frisk you. Are you carrying any concealed weapons?"
"No, officer."
"Arms out." He spread his powerful arms and she stood on her tippy toes to run her hands along each one. Her petite form looked even smaller next to his bulk. Then, she ran her fingers through his hair, down his neck and onto his back.
Her frisk turned briefly into a sensual back rub before her hands continued down. She cupped both of his ass cheeks in her hand, smiling for the benefit of the audience and then squeezed hard. Adam jumped.
"Don't move, buddy! Unless I say so." She groped his butt again.
Her hands reached around and caressed his torso as she pressed her body against his back. She paused to tweak both of his nipples, which got another chuckle out of the audience. She continued and traced her fingertips over his tight abs.
Adam was starting to get turned on by all the touching. He was worried that if he got an erection in his tight bottoms it would be very obvious to everyone at the party.
Emily dropped into a squat, her face near his butt. She grabbed his ankle and ran her hands up his leg to his upper thighs, stopping just short of his orange bottoms. Then she repeated the process on the other leg.
Poking her head around the side of his body, Emily looked directly at the audience. She gave her best evil grin and winked. She slithered her hand between his thighs and reached up to cup his now semi-hard penis.
She clamped her hand and gripped his bulge tightly. Adam jumped and when he did, she slapped his butt with her other hand, reminding him to stay still. Then Emily began to feel around the length of his shaft, exploring all of his parts from the outside of his spandex underwear. He was rapidly becoming aroused. His erection grew sideways, following the elastic band of his briefs.
Without letting go, she looked up. "Well, well. What do we have here? You said you didn't have any concealed weapons. You lied. Do you have a license to carry this?"
