Interlude

Valisgrad, New Praxius

Six Years Ago

Back on Nirivarr, the Serpent’s Tail nightclub had been one of only a handful of such establishments in the colony, and its reputation as a den of a vice, villainy, and exploitation had been well-earned. Ash and I had only ever gone there once, and despite how much fun she’d had dressing up for the occasion—and how much I’d enjoyed slugging every drunken goon who’d tried to touch her—the experience had convinced us to keep our distance. Even the amazing blowjob she’d given me in the train on the way home hadn’t made up for it.

Those memories had kept us away from the clubs in Valisgrad, too, although a vibrant metropolis with over ten million people was admittedly nothing like Nirivarr. The city was full of similar venues, all designed to serve one or more of the social classes who lived here. Most of the truly high-end joints for the cultural and political elite were actually in the mountains to the north for added privacy and ambience, while the seediest ones littered the more congested districts by the starport on the southern side. Those in the heart of the city, I was told, more or less split the difference.

But the one I was approaching now, the Pink Harlequin, was supposed to be unique. Its location within walking distance of the military base was not a coincidence, nor was the fact that the employees were virtually all nubile alien females representing nearly every species in the Cluster who were sexually compatible with humans. The instructors at Fort Tisarys had warned all of us about this place, not in the stern manner of senior officers who expected to be obeyed, but in the vaguely defeated tone of parents with grown-up children who knew the best they could hope for was to mitigate the damage.

Neither the drinks nor the food were supposed to be dangerous, but the girls were another story. The entire purpose of the establishment was to drain money out of the pockets of young, horny fools, though there were plenty of concerns about organized crime syndicates who took a cut of that money as well. And if Captain Ellis hadn’t pleaded for me to come here tonight and meet his “friend,” I never would have bothered setting foot in the place.

“Go on in,” the Crotarian bouncer rumbled, jabbing his thumb at the door behind him. “Just keep your hands to yourself.”

He glared at me with all six of his eyes, including the two on his sloping yellow forehead, but I was in far too foul of a mood to care what this asshole thought of me. The loud music and pulsing lights beyond the tinted glass certainly weren’t helping, and for about the tenth time since I’d arrived, I strongly considered turning around, going back to Ash, and leaving all of this behind.

But once again, I reminded myself that it wasn’t as if we had anywhere else to go. That bitter reality, coupled with everything else
