A few months had gone by and their house was done. Emily had them install a chamber in the basement similar to Vlads but more up to date as she explained to Ben that like Vlad some Vampires decide to sleep for a while after getting bored with the world. She wasn't planning on using them any time soon but wanted it just in case. Ben was more excited about the library with the secret entrance to another part of the basement that he had simply dubbed the Batcave. It was more or less a room for their collections over the years and a large theater for them to go and watch movies. Ben even bought a lifesize bat suit and put it behind a glass display window. Emily couldn't help but laugh at him about how he was like a little kid but she had to admit it was pretty awesome.
The house was very secluded from the rest of the world. Their view from the back yard consisted of hills in the distance and it was far enough from the city that they could see the sky at night. They still had a balcony off the bedroom so they could enjoy the view.
Ben had decided to start a business in the time waiting for the house to be built as he had felt guilty using Emily's money for everything. After David had caused some problems at the bar he had decided to invest some of their money and open up a newer establishment for Vampire's that was a little more secure, larger and more up to date. He also set up some ground rules about only letting humans in if they were accompanied by a Vampire. He didn't want a repeat of what happened to him and his friends years back.
It had become more of a club than a bar but it was coming together nicely. A lot of the local Vampire's didn't like him as much as they feared him because he was Emily's husband but he wanted to change that. He wanted them to look at him differently so he figured this was a good place to start. They closed the old Bar so he hired any of the staff that wanted a job there including the bouncer Frankie who he knew was never a big fan of his, until he offered him a hefty raise to which his attitude seemed to change.
The grand opening was upon them and every Vampire from around New England and beyond was invited. They had sent an invite to Vlad but he didn't seem quite ready to rejoin the world and make his presence felt yet. Emily was walking through checking everything out before they opened and she was very impressed with how well it all came together. it had a gothic feel to it but also had a lot more color and light than the old bar did. She even suggested to Ben having part of the place be a strip club as well to which he was surprised to hear from her but he liked the idea.
The night came and they were open for business. it started off slow but soon people began to file in. Ben strolled around as the place began to fill up greeting people as he went. He was a surprised to see a handful of humans in the club but all seemed to be accompanied by or even dating a Vampire. He envied them knowing what it was like to be a human dating a vampire though he wouldn't trade his current predicament for the world. He got a call from Frankie asking him to come to the front door to which he went down asap. When he got there he saw 3 of his friends Josh, Bill and Joe all being stared down by Frankie who remembered them from years ago.
"He guys, Frankie it's all good they are with me."
"Yes sir." He said moving aside and letting them in.
"Yes sir? Holy crap you've come up in the world haven't you?" Bill said giving Ben a hug as they hadn't seen him in a while.
"Good to see you guys, I have a private room upstairs for you all if you follow me."
"Lead the way...... Sir!" Joe said in a joking fashion as they fallowed him up the stairs.
Ben showed them to a room that had a rounded couch with a table in the middle. They were a little shocked to see the pole in the middle of the table as well.
"Wait..... is that?" Joe said pointing at the pole.
"Don't worry you guys don't have to use it, nobody wants to see that anyway. This here is Tammy." Ben said introducing them to the young woman standing by the door. Tammy was an attractive red head to which Bill couldn't stop staring at. They shared a stare for a moment smiling at eachother before Tammy went back to what Ben was saying. "She will take care of whatever you need and your entertainment will be here shortly...... oh and I mean Tammy will take care of you drink wise." Ben said pointing at Josh who had been quiet this whole time.
"Where are you off to?" Josh said.
"I have to check on a few things and then find my wife, after that we'll be back up to join you."
Ben looked at Tammy and smiled as she walked in the room closing the door behind her. He then headed back downstairs and just started greeting people and welcoming them in. There was a lot of just shaking hands with people he knew and people he didn't but they all seemed to know who Emily was. A lot of them even seemed nervous around him but he just tried to be as inviting as possible.
After about 20 minutes of hellos he looked over and his heart almost skipped a beat as he saw Emily standing by the bar. She was wearing a gorgeous red dress that seemed to sparkle. The type of dress that showed one leg and shined like Jessica Rabbit's. She had her hair styled so it covered half her face and bright red lipstick on. She turned and saw Ben from across the room and smiled at him. He did his best to pick his jaw up off the floor before walking over to her.
"Wow."
"You do know how to make a girl feel good." She said smiling at him. "You like it?" She said twirling a little showing off her dress.
"You look..... I mean...... wow!"
"Glad I can still make you weak in the knees."
"I think my heart may have stopped for a moment too, You look incredible."
She pulled him in for a kiss not caring who was watching. She held her lips on his for a moment before pulling away as he held her in his arms for a moment just taking her in.
"Are the guys here?" She asked referring to his friends.
"Who?....... oh yeah them, ha, yeah they are upstairs in room 1, told them we'd be up in a bit."
"What's the rush?" She said running her leg up the side of his.
"Now now, enough of that I already need to adjust my pants a little before we go up there."
"I'll adjust your pants." She said leaning in for another kiss
"Keep this up I'll have my way with you right here in front of everyone."
"Would be a great show for the opening night, but ok I'll stop for now, down boy." She said patting him on the crotch as they headed upstairs.
When they got back up to the room the 3 of them were in total awe of the woman dancing on the table in front of them. Her name was Victoria and she was one of the finest strippers he had hired so he reserved her for them for the night. She was a Vampire however she had worked in regular strip clubs for years so controlling her hunger was not an issue. she had black hair and a very curvy yet sexy body. She was wearing only knee high boots, black panties and tape in X's across her nipples when they arrived.
"Hey guys, enjoying the show?" Ben said as they had a seat on the couch next to them.
They were all so distracted by Victoria they barely noticed the 2 of them. Ben looked at Emily and they shared a quick laugh together until Joe finally looked over at them.
"Oh hey guys, didn't see you come in. Wow Emily you look stunning."
"That's my third Wow tonight, thanks Joe."
"Emily be honest, how the hell did Ben here get a woman like you? I mean have you seen this guy?" Joe asked.
