“Cosmo, the boss of Shishigumi has requested another private show from you.”

Cosmo’s face lit up, “Really? Tell him to go wait in room 7. I’ll be there shortly.”

Louis had visited Cosmo frequently at her workplace, and every time he has he’d request a private show with her. Cosmo was flattered of course, having the boss of the powerful Shishigumi, and recently her savior, wanting to see her more often.

The truth was, she felt safer when he was around. She knew through conversations with him that he wanted to make the back alley market a much safer, more comfortable place for herbivores like her. And after the previous incident, Louis has made an effort to patrol her place of work more often to make sure such scenarios never happened again. She appreciated that.

Cosmo put on her best set of lingerie for the show and rushed to room 7. Sitting there waiting was none other than Louis, who simply smiled as she entered.

“So what can I do for you this evening mister?”

“Just the usual.”

Cosmo smiled back. Louis had never asked much of her. He simply enjoyed her usual pole dancing routine. She had asked him several times if he wanted to change things up, or if he wanted her to strip for him, but he usually declined. Once or twice they did kiss, and some other times he’d have her sit with him and chat. But that was always it. He never asked her to perform any sexual services for him, even though he was the most powerful man in the back alley.

“Alright then,” Cosmo started up her usual routine. It was a difficult one to perform, but she always felt at ease when Louis was watching. Maybe it was because she knew he was really just there to see her, and wasn’t really scrutinizing her every move.

Louis looked serene as he watched her dance. Like all his troubles melted away in her presence. When she was done, Louis handed her a large wad of cash, like he always did, and thanked her for her performance. He always was a gentleman, and generous in fact, while the rest of her clients in the back alley has in some shape or form been a bit rough, vulgar and stingy in response to her performances.

She smiled as she watched him exit the strip club and into the busy back alley market.

Maybe that’s why he was her favorite customer.
