This is my first time writing erotic fiction. I hope you enjoy it, as these scenarios have been floating around in my head for a while. Be aware, this series will include a variety of adult situations, including bisexuality, interracial sex, incest, group sex and other taboo subjects that not everybody may be into. If any of these subjects bother you, there's an entire site here filled with things you may prefer more. In any event, thanks for reading.

Twenty minutes after we dropped Avery off at her apartment, Lionel, Claire and I had returned to the Elysium. We were driving up to the private entrance, below ground, but to do that we had to pass by the entrance to the hotel.
"Wow," Claire said. "Where did THEY all come from?"
The protesting crowd in front of the hotel had more than quadrupled in size. If there had been thirty or forty people yesterday, there were easily two hundred now. Some of them were wearing the sashes I had seen on the guy on Fremont Street. They were almost blocking the entrance to the Hotel. There were a dozen armed Sinclair Group security guards out there, wearing the dark gray uniform of our uniformed security unit. Guards like Lionel and Biggs wore dark suits, but there were even more regular guards to handle all the usual things the Hotel needed. It was about half men and half women, and they looked ready for business. They had set up steel barricades to keep a path to the front of the Hotel open, and were escorting people in and out as needed. The protesters were chanting, jeering at people as they came in and went out of the hotel. There were at least two television crews set up, filming the scene.
"Lionel, let me out here. I want to see what's going on," I said.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Jack," Lionel responded, but he slowed the car down.
"I understand. But I'm going it anyway," I told him. "Keep an eye on me if you want, but I want to go see those people," I said. And I did.
I wasn't armed, but the crowd of protesters didn't really seem violent. And there were a dozen guys and gals with guns right there who could back me up if something happened. I wanted to see what this was all about.
Lionel let me out of the car, but Claire opted to stay inside, which meant she's probably way smarter than me. I got out, and worked my way towards the entrance. Instead of heading through the area that was opened by the steel barricades and entering the lobby of the hotel, I tried to mingle in with the protesters. They were an eclectic set, some were dressed like bums, others like they'd just got off from work. The people wearing the sashes looked more professional, with button down shirts and blouses and nice jackets. It was pretty cold, for Vegas, and some people were wearing gloves. I didn't think it was glove weather, but I grew up in New England, and these westerners were more used to the than the cold, even though it did get pretty cold in the desert at night.
I saw all the same placards they had before, along with a few new ones. The "Game of Thrones" one was in the crowd, and a few other funny ones, like "Even the dice are cringing!" and "Double Down on Decency!" Whoever was doing their signs wasn't bad. And these were not amateur signs, made with markers and duct tape. These were professional signs, the kind you would expect to see at a Union picket line.
There was a guy with a bullhorn out front, and he was leading some of the protesters in a chant.
"From the Strip to the Lights, decency is our fight!"
Catchy. Sort of. I grimaced. Didn't these people have jobs? It was lunch time on a Monday.
There was a kid my age in the crowd near me. He looked pretty normal, and he was carrying one of the "Double Down" placards. He was slowly following the rest of the protesters in lazy circles, all under the watchful eyes of our guards. He caught my eye and nodded.
"Glad to see some professionals out here," he said to me. "You guys getting the same rate we are?"
"How much are you getting?" I asked him. I was taken aback - I had no idea what he was talking about, but I figured I'd play along.
"We get $20 an hour if we're holding a placard. $15 for the regulars. And they cover parking back in LA while we're here," he said. "It's not a bad deal. I was up in Seattle a few weeks ago on an environmental protest, and they didn't pay half as good, and we had to provide our own transportation. Gotta love these Vegas guys, they got the dough to make this look good," he said, laughing, rubbing his fingers and thumb together in the age old sign language for cash.
"That's about the same for us," I said, continuing in my role. "Who does the hiring out in LA," I asked. He looked at me weird. "I'm local," I said quickly, hoping that made sense to him.
He nodded. "Yeah, they said they were going to add some local folks for flavor. I've been working through the same guys for a while now, Rent-a-Mob of LA. They're way better than some of the other fly-by-night outfits, and we even get health benefits after a couple years. Not bad for just walking around and annoying people," he laughed. I laughed with him.
"Well, keep up the good work. Maybe I'll see you out here again," I said. I didn't want to push my luck any more because I was starting to get some looks from some of the other protesters, and given that my name and face had been plastered all over the newspaper, I didn't want to get spotted.
No such luck.
The guy with the bullhorn noticed me and broke off in mid-chant.
"Look what we have here folks! A gin-u-wine celebrity! It's the one, the only Jack Fisher! Vegas's most famous motherfucker, right here with us!"
Shit.
