She tries desperately to wake up, she doesn't want to relive the reason she's in this life now. It's been ten fucking years. But in spite of herself the dream, nightmare or memory, whatever you want to call it goes forward.

"Judy, you are getting out early due to good behavior, don't mess up again." The warden says as she hands Judy the bag that contains her personal items that she had with her when she was incarcerated five years earlier.

The five years had been hell. She'd been sent to an all female jail and not even the warden or guards were male. If they had been she'd have been able to get whatever she wanted. She knows that Adam Demarco was behind the selection of the jail. Just because she tried to get his brother jailed for rape and almost caused Julie to lose her babies due to her sleeping with Alex. 

She wishes that Julie had lost the babies. Bitch. Thinking she was so much better than Judy.

Judy refuses to acknowledge that Julie never acted like that.

Julie turned the kids at school against her for sleeping with Alex Demarco. Damn he was the best fuck she'd ever had. Too bad he had to have treated like he did at the auction. She was thinking that he would take her to bed again until he told her off so coldly.

Telling the police he raped her was a bad idea and if she had thought about it before hand she wouldn't have done it. 

Remembering Adam Demarco's cold eyes and hate filled stare makes her sick even now.

But Julie is to blame for her being here. One day she's going to get back at Julie Demarco, even if it's the last thing she does. 

With those thoughts she falls completely into the memory and loses all cognizance that it is a dream.

Judy walks away from the jail and finds her brother waiting for her.

"Justin? I didn't expect you here. Where's mom?" Judy asks shocked.

"Mom's too sick to come," Justin says and looks his sister over. "She asked me to come and pick you up."

Judy smirks, "Oh, really?"

"If you're nice to me, I'll even stop and buy you dinner," Justin smirks back at his sister. He knows her well and knows that the jail had no men for her to be with for the last few years.

"Make it a steak dinner and I'll be as nice as you want."

Justin smirks and even opens the car door for her. "I have a hotel room in the next town over, can you wait an hour?"

Justin pulls off the road onto a secluded track at her next word, "No."

After that they return to the road and Justin takes her to his room. She finds that he had brought her some of her old clothes, nicer ones.

"If I make it worth your while will you take me shopping tomorrow before we head home?" Judy can't help letting in a bit of pleading in her tone.

"If you are very good, I will let you buy four outfits." Justin says and Judy smiles and gets down on her knees before him. He's already hard for her.

As they eat dinner, "Nobody gives a better blow job than you sis. What are you going to do for a job? You didn't even finish high school."

"I got my GED in jail. Hopefully I'll be able to find something that will pay enough for me to get my own place."

Justin smirks at her and scoffs, "I seriously doubt it. Words gone out, Adam Demarco has threatened any place that hires you. You've been blacklisted, I doubt you'll be able to find a whorehouse that will take you." Justin looks her over, she had dressed in the sheer lingerie he'd brought her from home. "Although that would be a shame. They'd miss out on a very talented whore."

Judy has to acknowledge the truth of his words. She is talented and she long ago accepted the fact that she very much enjoys sex and would be considered a whore by many. It doesn't bother her to be thought as such. 

But Demarco blacklisting her isn't something she had even thought about. She thought sending her to jail would be the end of his retaliation towards her. For the first time a frisson of fear goes down her back. He'd warned her to not fuck with his family and she didn't listen. Now she is very thankful that Julie hadn't miscarried his children. She doesn't even want to think about what would have happened to her if Julie had.

The next day was spent shopping and traveling home. Justin was sufficiently satisfied that he didn't demand more from her for food.

Justin might be older than her but it was her that seduced him. She made sure that he pleasures her just as much as she pleasures him when they are together. She won't mind spending time with him if it takes her awhile to find a job.

Things fell apart when her brother informed her that he has a girlfriend and won't be spending much time at home. They fall even further apart when her mother gives her a time limit to find a job and start paying rent or find her own place to stay.

Judy goes out everywhere and applies where ever she can. No job is too menial for her, as the time gets closer to her mother's deadline the more willing she is to take any job she can find.

Although she can't dance she is desperate and goes into the strip joint she's walking by. When she asks about a possible job she expects to be handed an application, instead she's given instructions. "Go in the back and strip down to your bra and panties if you are wearing them, if not choose an outfit in the dressing room. After you are ready come out here and take a number and a seat. The boss won't hire anyone until he sees them dance."

The bartender gives her a once over and smiles warmly, "You are lucky that he's hiring today. We recently lost two of our dancers. You don't do drugs do you? The boss won't hire anyone that does drugs."

"No, I don't do drugs," Judy had answered. She doesn't either, but only because she has no way of getting them while she was in jail. The drug dealers there were all female and she just couldn't tolerate the thought of being with them sexually. She has never been with a female and has no intentions of starting now. Not when there's a whole world of men out there waiting to be fu-

Her thoughts are interrupted when her number is called. She gets up on the stage and takes one of the positions she'd seen the other girls take and the music starts. She is unable to see who the boss is because the spotlight on her is too bright. But her blood runs cold when she hears his voice. "Stop the music, I've seen enough." Adam Demarco. She knew he owned many businesses but she didn't know that he owned strip joints. She wonders nastily if Julie knows that her precious husband is in a strip joint.

"Judy Santos, what a surprise to see you here," Adam's tone is smug and smooth. Judy is deposited at his table by the bouncer that had collected her from the dressing room. "I thought I warned you to not come onto my property?"

"Believe me, sir, if I had known this club was yours I wouldn't have entered." Judy says bitterly. Now if it had been Alex's or the rebellious Azlo she wouldn't have minded.

"Why are you here Ms. Santos?" Adam hides his smirk. He knows damn well why she is here. Not even the shit jobs would hire her. He made sure that Don Travony knew that Judy wasn't to be hired even as a whore or drug pusher. He's pleased to see that the Don followed his instructions.

"I need a job, Mr. Demarco. I've looked everywhere and no one will hire me, because of you." Judy is respectful, he is her last chance at a job and doesn't dare insult him, but she can't help the bitterness that leaks into her voice with her words.

"Is that so? Why should I hire you, Ms. Santos? I did warn you about fucking with my family and then you tried to get my little brother jailed on bogus charges. Alex has never forced anyone to have sex with him. He doesn't have to. Nor does he steal those that aren't free. Yet, you have stolen many. Julie almost lost my children from your actions. Tell me why I should give a fuck now for you and hire you? Especially since you can't dance worth shit?"

"Because I can learn fast and once I do, I'll be your best dancer. I'll increase your customer base by thirty percent at least within six months."

Adam hides his smirk. Before he can say anything else he feels warm arms wrapping around him and feels the kiss Julie places on his cheek. He never stops looking at Judy and sees her jealousy as she notices Julie.

"I will give you a job. I'll have the girls teach you how to dance and even let you have a small apartment at the back of the club rent free for the first week. After that you will have to pay rent and utilities as well as supply your own food. The place is furnished but if you want to change the furniture you can, with your own money.

"You still have a debt to my family and so I'll be taking half of all your earnings towards the civil suit we won against you.

"Private dances and lap dances have set prices. Should you choose to have sex in one of the back rooms with a customer that's up to you. But if you fail to report the money from that you will lose your job immediately. Sex isn't required, or even encouraged, but I won't stop it either. 

"No drugs allowed either on the premises or by my employees using. If you are found to have drugs in your system you will be immediately dismissed. Is that clear?" Adam demands.

"Yes, sir." Judy says immediately, she does her best to hide her bitterness.

"What you do after hours is your business. But if you whore yourself, do not use your place here. The police would close me down.

"You can have one alcoholic drink while working, but no more. If you are found drunk while working you will be fired." Adam stands up and motions to one of the bouncers, "time for the drug testing, get the girls." The bouncer leaves to get the girls that had come on shift.

"We'll start with you, Ms. Santos." Adam goes to where Judy is now standing. She expects to be given a cup to pee in or something like that. She hadn't expected her arm being grabbed and Adam biting into it.

She's too in shock to smirk at his surprise, "Well I guess you are clean. You'll start tomorrow, come back at lunch time and Colin will have you fill out the paper work and show you the apartment. Until you learn how to dance decently you'll wait tables. 

"Just remember the first rule of customer service, the customer is always right. Happy customers make big tippers."

That's the first day of her new life. How she wishes she could leave it, but she'll be here until she dies working for the vampire king.

Judy doesn't even notice the tears falling on her pillow as she relives it all over again and again until it's time to get up.
