Chapter 1: Let's Make This A Party To remember!
.
.
"Come on, girl! What you waiting for! Get in already!"
With a push, Lexa was propelled through the double doors and into a spacious Hall. The brunette would have had a mind to give Anya a right talking to, but such thoughts were immediately halted when she turned to observe a hoard of women sprinting towards and then around her. With careful precision, the women placed boxes of varying sizes onto the numerous tables littered about the room, before instructing one another to 'get to work!'
Glaring at her (supposed) best friend, Anya, Lexa righted herself and took a moment to look around the room and at her friends frenzied preparations.
"Take it all in, Lex," Anya exclaimed, reaching around to bring her into a half hug. "It's not every day you get to marry the love of your life. Cheer up, will yah!?"
Shaking her head, Lexa tried to pry her off, but she, of course, was having none of it. "I can't believe your doing this. How many times did I say... I don't want a bac..."
"Tough shit, Woods. You are getting one. Now, move your pert little ass and get to helping..."
"What!? I'm expected to help and put up decorations? For my own party? Do you know how sad that is!"
Laughing, observing as their friends rushed to put banners up on the walls, and drinks and food on the table, Anya smiled. "Well, seeing as you are not royalty or even remotely famous, you're just gonna have to get your hands dirty, aren't yah?."
"Yeah! Yeah! And it has nothing to do with you making plans at the last possible minute, huh?"
Ignoring Lexa's hitched eye brow, Anya laughed loudly in hopes of covering up the undeniable silence that followed. "Yeah, right. When have I ever let you down, girl. Now, shut your trap and get to helping. It's your big day and I'm not letting anyone ruin it. Even you."
With a slap on the ass, Lexa was pushed towards a nearby table, where a host of banner were laid spread on the table. Nodding to a passing friend, Lexa picked up the top banner and smoothed it out. Upon recognition, a smile reached her lips.
'Congratulations to the Happy Couple, Lexa and Costia!'
Costia, Lexa's girlfriend, now, her fiancé. The thought alone put a great big smile on her face, she still couldn't believe it. That her hopes and wishes had borne fruit and become her reality. Costia was everything to Lexa, through good times and dark, they had always relied on each other.
It was spoken about often and publicly by those that knew them that Lexa and Costia were very much in love and that it was only a matter of time till both were hitched. From the moment they first meet, four years ago, it had seemed like destiny. Both relatively young (30 plus was still young, dammit!) and at different stages in their life, a chance meeting on foreign ground had been the trigger for what would be a new and exciting chapter in their lives.
In fact, after a few weeks of working together, somewhere in Africa that Lexa could no longer recall, both Lexa and Costia had agreed to continue their work as a pair. Lexa's paid trip to Guinea now forgotten, all for the pleasure of enjoying Costia's company for the foreseeable future. And to think four years later, after everything they had experienced, they would be married.
It had been Costia that had proposed, on their last day before their return to America. With the setting sun as their background, Costia had gone down on one knee, an old and worn ring displayed, modest but meaning more to Lexa than any diamond. The ring might have been old but to Lexa it was perfect. And Lexa had no reservations when she said, yes that day.
It was by far the happiest day of her life.
... A life that had had its fair share of misery, torment and pain...
"Hey, depression central," Anya called, half way up a ladder with a banner in hand. "Get a move on! The rest will be here any moment!"
"I hear you, god! No need to be a dick!" Lexa huffed, moving to a unoccupied wall to place her banner.
Laughing, Anya scaled the ladder and pressed the banner into place. "Bit rich calling me a dick, Lex. We all know what you've got in your pants!"
Sticking her tongue out, the act returned in kind, Lexa moved towards Anya to help her down. Taking the offered hand, Anya dropped down and looked closely at her friend. Flicking Lexa's chin up, so their eyes would meet, Anya placed her hands against Lexa's shoulders, offering as much reassurance as possible in that one act.
"You good?"
Sighing, Lexa looked around at her friends, observing as Octavia and Echo worked together to line the tables with equal amounts of food and drink. This really did feel like too much. Soon, she would be surrounded by her friends and co-workers, all here to celebrate the most life changing moment of her young life.
"You know," Anya said, waiting to catch Lexa's eyes. "It's okay to be nervous. This is a big, big decision and a big step forward for you."
"... Doesn't feel right..."
"Lex, don't. You two are made for each other. Period. So, listen, don't worry about the wedding. That's next week. That's for next weeks you to worry about. Today, let your hair down and just have some fun. That's what a bachelor parties for, after all."
"I know," Lexa complained. "But, I'd much rather be at home, with Cos, reading a good old book. Parties were never my thing."
"Well, tough. As your best woman it is my responsibility to make this the best party ever. And, yes, while your wedding might be months away, I know you too well. You would find a way to slink out of it had I planned too far ahead. So, here it is, impromptu."
"Alright, fine, you've got me there. But, Cos and I usually do things together. It doesn't feel right without her here."
"Oh, don't give me that sappy shit. Don't forget, Costia even asked me to set this up for you. She wants you to have fun, have a chance to let your hair down before you are hitched, old and grumpy."
"Haha, very funny, An," Lexa huffed, watching the front door as more and more people filed into the Hall only to be seated in their appropriate places by Octavia. "I'm just nervous. Cos has been with me for the last four years. Not really used to doing anything without her."
"I know kid, just remember this is your night... You can mingle, party or stand to the side looking all moody and mysterious. You can be as involved as you want. Just... Make sure you say hi to everyone. They've come a long way, just to see you."
Smiling, Lexa wrapped up her best friend in a long, prolonged hug, tears beginning to well up at their, often time, shared memories.
Anya meant so much to Lexa. More than anyone could even possibly imagine. What they had gone through... lesser people would have come out broken. But not them, not when they had each other. The truth is, and she would never admit this to anyone, especially not Costia, but Anya would always remain her rock, her confidant and her protector. And, Lexa knew, that Anya felt the same. They were nigh on inseparable, some would say.
But, now was not the time to mention such things...
Now, was a time for celebration.
And celebrate they shall.
.
.
By this point the Bachelor party was in full swing, current and no doubt trendy music was being played over the tannoy system. Not that Lexa had any clue what classified as current or even popular music having been so far removed from American society. But, nonetheless, everyone was on their feet and dancing. Some were moving together as couples, ala Lincoln and Octavia, while others with a view to being couples or, in some cases, one time sex buddies.
Dancing boisterously with a number of acquaintances, work colleagues and friends, Lexa was surprised when she was suddenly grabbed from behind and twirled in time to the beat of the music. Upon recognition, it came as no surprise to see Anya's smug smirk directed right back at her. Picking up her pace, her feet hitting the ground with each beat, Lexa truly felt free.
The crowd clearly noticed this sudden, unexpected change and proceeded to whoop and holler as Lexa let herself become lost in the music. Dancing had been one of her favourite pass times growing up as a kid, in fact it was often all she had, and it was a particular skill that she still continued to practice to this day. It was one of the reasons why she had stayed in shape long before she had learned of, and been of appropriate age for, the gym. And, such commitment was finally being put to good use for all to see.
"Hell, yeah, Lex," Anya called, jumping on Lexa and squeezing her around the midriff. "That's the spirit! You go girl!"
Laughing, Lexa danced alongside her, admittedly, clumsy partner. "Hey, An. How did you even get this place on such short notice? I know how difficult it is to book anything here."
"Ah, the wonders of having a wonderful and caring girfriend. Raven managed to snag this for you, no idea how but nothing can stop her when she sets her mind to something, I should know."
Laughing, ignoring Anya's fluttering eyebrows that followed her last words, Lexa replied. "Guess we are both lucky then. But, seriously, give my best to Raven. I owe her for this."
"I will when she comes back from her trip. But, let's be honest. If she hadn't have gotten it, I almost certainly would have. There was no way I was going to let you celebrate your bachelor party in some nasty, dingy bar, was there?" Anya laughed, before her features suddenly settled to become more soft. "And, I know how much this place means to you. To us both."
Anya was right, this place did hold a lot of meaning...
This was where she was found, crying and alone as a baby. The last vague memory she could recall was that of some woman hovering over her, whether mother or a member of staff, Lexa did not know. All she could recall was the shape of the woman, the face to this day remained blank as if Lexa suffered from prospagnosia, which was not the case, fortunately. Blonde hair too, but nothing more.
She was born here, and, Lexa had long since decided that the next chapter of her life would be born here too.
"You go, Woods!" Lincoln shouted, dancing energetically with his girlfriend. "Show us them moves!"
"Woods! Woods! Woods! Woods! Woods! Woods!" The Crowd chanted, making space for Lexa to dance for all to see.
However, just as Lexa began to lose herself in the music once more, a sudden wisp of blonde hair caught her eye.
Twirling in place, in order to locate the offending sight, Lexa's eyes were brought back to the Hall's entrance. Standing there, no doubt appreciating the party in full swing, was... Well. There was only one word Lexa could use to describe this woman upon first inspection.
A goddess.
A gorgeous, radiant and breath-taking goddess now stood, her hip angled to press against the column of the door, an appreciative smirk rising to her lips as there eyes made contact. A sudden tremor spread through her body, those ocean blue eyes holding her attention without thought or question. Who was this woman!?
Noticing that Lexa was now stood in place, the crowd turned to look at the new visitor, the music still playing in the background while the occupants of the room remained still and silent.
"Ah," Anya piped up, suddenly realising who the new visitor was. "Looks like the main attraction of the night has arrived."
Unperturbed by the numerous eyes on her, the blonde figure moved from the entrance and (swaggered?) her way towards the raised platform. All eyes watched her move, the music accompanying her movements to accentuate her mysterious beauty. It was all most like the music wished to emphasise just how incredible this woman was, not that it really needed to though.
Placing her heavy looking bag onto a nearby table, the blonde hoped onto the platform with ease and placed a chair in the centre of the stage. Turning, aware that all eyes were on her, the visitor sat down, crossed her legs and observed the group with mild interest. No matter how many eyes observed her, the young blonde did not seem flustered in the least. She was merely waiting.
God damn she is sexy... Lexa thought and no doubt did many others in the group, man or women, committed or not.
"Who is that?" Lexa croaked, her eyes reluctantly turning from the goddess to her sister.
"That my dear friend," Anya smirked, revelling in the attention that was directed towards her. "Just happens to be your stripper..."
"W-What!?" The crowd, and Lexa in turn, roared.
"W-Wait!? What do you mean... Stripper!?"
"What?" Anya replied, innocently. "It's a bachelor's party... You've got to have a stripper!"
Ignoring the crowd that was half nodding in agreement, half drooling at the sight of the blonde bombshell, Lexa grabbed Anya by the wrist and dragged her closer.
"What the hell, An!? A stripper! Are you insane!?"
Rolling her eyes, Anya replied. "Lighten up, girl. Everyone does this. It's no biggie. No one will mind..."
"And, what about Costia!? I think she would would mind..."
"She's not here. And," Anya exclaimed loudly, preventing Lexa from interrupting. "What she doesn't know won't hurt her. This happens all the time, Lex. One more moment of unconnected fun before your spend the rest of your life with that one singular person."
"She'll know..."
Turning to face the rest of the group, her arms crossing below her breasts, Anya perked up. "Ladies and gentlemen, honoured guests, will anyone here tell Costia that Lexa spent some time with a stripper on her goddamn bachelor's party!?"
"Hell No!!!!!!"
"No Way!!!!!"
"It's goddamn tradition, Lexa!!!!!"
"If you won't spend time with that stripper then I will!!!!!"
Shaking her head, Lexa looked into the triumphant eyes of her best friend. "I never agreed to this. It's not appropriate."
Suddenly realising she was talking about the woman without acknowledging her presence, Lexa suddenly turned towards the woman. But, once again, the woman seemed to be merely observing Lexa, an eye brow arched as she continued to tap her foot in the air... waiting.
"It's too late."
Surprised by her Anya's sudden voice, as she had been in what could only be described as a trance, staring at HER... scratch that... The... The goddess, Lexa returned her eyes to Anya. "What do you mean it is too late?"
"She's already been paid for and trust me... I spared no expense on this. She comes highly recommended, one of my friends who works for that Griffin Enterprises told me about her. And, considering the parties her crew is involved with, she must be worth her weight in gold. Having said that though, you deserve the best and I got you the best. So you better enjoy it."
"..."
Staring at Anya in disbelief, an angelic voice floated up from afar, Lexa's eyes drawn in the direction of the occupants voice.
"So," The goddess drawled, descending from the platform to solid ground. "I take it you are the lucky girl."
There was no mistake in who she was talking to.
The goddess had her eyes fixed on Lexa now, approaching like a lion cornering its prey.
With each step, Lexa's heart hitched. The way the woman walked, the small smirk as she inspected ever inch of Lexa's body... It did things to her. And, loathe she was to admit it, to anyone, but the sight was enough to make her harden in response.
Never had she met such a gorgeous and yet, somewhat, angelic creature...
Never...
Standing before her, the blonde nodded in internal confirmation. "My... I am a lucky girl, aren't I... Stud..."
Panicking, her face growing red by the second, Lexa, for reasons even she couldn't tell you, shot out her hand in offering. "L-Lexa... A pleasure..."
Looking down at the offered hand, the goddess slowly trailed her eyes back up Lexa's body before purposely biting the corner of her lower lip. The pink lipstick highlighted the pristine white teeth that pulled at the tender flesh and Lexa felt her cock jump within the confines of her pants in response. Lexa really hoped no one else noticed that but the erection pressing up against her pants was a constant reminder of her current state.
Suddenly and without warning, the goddess moved forward, claiming Lexa's hand before pulling her in the direction of the stage. Unsure how to work her legs, as she was suddenly reduced to the motor skills of a toddler, Lexa heard the sounds of her friends whopping and hollering at her back.
Taking the steps up the stage one at a time, the goddess lead Lexa to the lone chair before placing her against it, her fingers trailing along her shoulder as she moved around her.
"U-Um... I..."
Placing her hands on either side of the chair, the goddess lowered her torso so that her lips were inches away from Lexa's ear. "Sit back, hot stuff..."
(THUMP)
"The names Eve..."
(THUMP)
"And I'm about to give you a night that you will never forget..."
(THUMP)
"Now, brace yourself..."
(THUMP THUMP)
"Because I don't do gentle..."
(THUMP THUMP)
"When it comes to women like you..."
(THUMP THUMP)
"I like things to be... rough..."
(THUMP THUMP THUMP)
"So, let's do things your fiance could only ever dream of... Time to rock your world..."

Author's Note:
This is the updated version of the first chapter. As you will see I have omitted some things from the previous version, and included new bits too.
One of the more significant additions will be obvious, there are two, in fact. One will be addressed and explained within the first part of this story. The other, more recent and sudden inclusion, will be revealed in Part 2 of this story. Still figuring out a name for Part 2, but I will have it sorted by the time Chapter 15 finishes the first arc.
All the best everyone, and I hope you enjoy.
