Quite well, and quite well for years.

Vixxen worked for Vivid for three years exclusively. During that time she worked with every actor and actress who worked with Vivid, and Vixxen also ended up having sex with every director who produced content for Vivid, along with many of the executives. This was a dirty little secret few talked about, but that was a part of the job.

Vivid girls made better money than any other porn actress in the industry, and what was considered overtime work was just a part of the job. But Vixxen didn’t shy away from any of it, she loved the sex.

In time the work with Vivid became a bit stale, as she had worked with everyone in the company, and as Nina Mercedes had retired from the business and moved on to fitness competitions.

Vixxen and Vivid agreed to move on from the exclusive contract. Vixxen would return for a by the sex scene contract, so she could shoot for them when they were looking for some interracial content, but it freed her up to explore other work in the adult film industry.

She was approached by numerous companies, but she was careful who she worked with, some advice she had been given by numerous Vivid girls. At first the worked with Girlfriends films, who were happy to have such a beautiful young woman in her early twenties, a fresh face for their work, and a black woman for the growing popularity of interracial sex. Here she met and fucked some of the most beautiful women in the industry, in some of the best produced lesbian content ever made in the porn business.

The money was good, and the people she worked with and fucked were even better. She became close to Brandy Love and Diamond Jackson, who were frequent lovers on and off screen.

She then made a video for a site that made the Exploited Black Teens videos, a long video made in the POV of the older man she fucked, which was for her enjoyable, and profitable as well. In her hearty twenties she could pass for a teenager, and her video for them was well received.

Vixxen also worked with Brazzers and Naughty America during this time, working with Diamond Jackson again in some wild group sex scenes. Not the romantic work she had done for Girlfriend Films, but the pay was good and the sex was fun.

Around this time anal sex became something Vixxen regularly did, and this added to her willingness to take part in group sex, and her near fetish for swallowing cum lead to her pay rate being as high as anyone in porn at the time. A shocking thing for someone who wasn’t tanned, blonde and white.

She expanded who she worked with over time, with Vixxen making short videos for smaller companies who would pay a premium to have her work with them, making handjob videos and blowjob videos, short videos that were less than 15 minutes that took and hour to make but paid very well.

There were a lot of offers she didn’t accept at first, but that she started taking as she expanded who she worked with. By this time Vixxen was booking work every day of the week when it was available, as she was enjoying the sex so much she barely wanted to stop.

She would meet men and women for the first time, have sex with them, taste some cum, get paid and move on to the next job. It was the thrill of a lifetime for someone as sexually driven as Vixxen was.

She began taking gloryhole work, but for classy productions. She would suck off several men, but Vixxen was very careful who she would have sexual contact with. The men who were safe would get to enjoy her, and she would swallow cum from each, but there were always limitations in place to protect her health.

At the insistence of women she trusted in the industry she protected her health, only working with men and women who were a part of the industry testing program, and for companies with safety standards in place. Thankfully for Vixxen she was able to avoid STDs, and this was a time when no HIV/AIDS scares hit the companies she worked for.

She ended up working with some smaller companies that made bukkake films, and some productions that focused on massive cum swallows. Vixxen avoided gangbang productions, at least where the number of men as excessive, as they tended to be degrading to the women, but she loved cum so much she took to bukkake and massive cum swallow quite well. She loved it, the taste the texture, and the reality that sometimes a dozen men she would never really meet would jerk off into her mouth. It was a serious kink for her, at times she nearly orgasmed during the scenes, making hers among the best that were produced.

Many actresses who made these scenes would need to be drunk and/or high to get through the shoot, but not Vixxen. She loved her work.

When she was 25 years old, she was still making as much money as ever. She worked 300+ days a year, traveling around the world to work for different production companies. Vivid still called with high paying work, and Vixxen even started to appear in mainstream film from time to time.

Some of it was serious big production work, but usually without any lines. Vixxen would play a stripper or prostitute in the background, but with her beauty and amazing physique, this work continued. She ended up with an agent, in the effort to possibly transition to mainstream film.

On one such film Vixxen met Tom Cruise, who had hired her to be one of the villain’s minions in Mission Impissible 3.

It was non sexual role with no sex or nudity, but one where she was supposed to fight Tom Cruise, and being 5’10” and very well built in terms of muscle it would be believable.

She was hired for being as well built as she was, looking believable in a fight standing next to Hollywood actors who tended to be thinner than she was.

But she and Tom Cruise really hit it off, becoming friends off camera quite quickly. And then one night after shootint a fight scene that had involved her character grappling Ethan Hunt on the ground, a scene with deeply sexual undertones, they became much more than friends.

Some innocent enough flirting ended with them going to Tom Cruise’s trailer, and with Vixxen fucking the Hollywood A lister for all he was worth. He used a condom, but he was a good lover for being in very good shape. And when he was close, Vixxen got on her knees and offered for him to cum on her face and in her mouth, and Tom Cruise happily said yes, his normal lovers and wives not being nearly so willing to do such a thing.

And when he was done, Vixxen sucked his cock till it was soft, and cleaned her face with his soft cock, eating nearly all of his cum.

They did this several times, and grew close. Enough that when she asked about Scientology, Tom Cruise confided in her that it wasn’t what people thought it was. It wasn’t really a religion, nobody thought they were a god, and he was in it for the connections and not to have to answer questions on faith.

“Christianity?” Tom Cruise said to Vixxen, “you get into that, then the pro life crowd hates you, or the pro choice crowd hates you, no middle ground. Islam? Post 9/11 nobody can admit to that. Catholicism? They fucked that up with their priests raping kids.”

Vixxen looked confused, then Cruise elaborated. “If I say I am in Scientology, no matter if people think it a cult or not, they don’t bother me about what I think on the various religious causes. Nobody ever started a war over Scientology, no kid ever got raped by one of our leaders. It is all an act, whatever you are when the lights are out, pretend not to really follow anything and you will do better in this business. You can sleep around and be the biggest slut in Hollywood, you can be a porn star, and if they don’t think you are a Christian people won’t give a fuck.”

After this her part was changed in the film, as Tom Cruise had near total control over the production.

Instead of Vixxen’s character being killed off, it was rewritten at Tom Cruise’s insistence for her to help him in the end and to survive, as maybe to be brought back for future Mission Impossible films. Cruise described an idea he had to make it a franchise, making movies for years, bringing back order cast members for future films.

This is when Vixxen had a brief love affair with Tom Cruise, while on the set of Mission Impossible 3.

Tom Cruise was publicly dating Katie Holmes, and when Vixxen asked about it, he said that was about as serious as his devotion to Scientology. They were on set for a few months having sex nearly every day, all out of sight of the press, and Vixxen wondered about Katie.

One day Katie Holmes walked into the trailer while Tom had Vixxen bent over a sofa pounding her soggy style. Tom Cruise played it off like nothing odd was happening, and he and Katie made small talk without him breaking his pace in fucking the beautiful black woman.

Instead of being angry, Katie Holmes watched them, seeming somewhat bored. Vixxen was surprised, but only so surprised. It was like Cruise and Katie Holmes had no romantic connection at all. Later on, after a rather dramatic cumshot where he again pulled out and came in Vixxen’s mouth, one that seemed to interest Katie Holmes, Katie left and Tom explained.

“There are hassles when you really get romantically involved Vixx,” Cruise told her later. “People get pissed off when you kiss another woman on screen, and when you spend as much time on the road as people in this business do, what kind of marriage can you have?”

“No matter what the press says, I love women,” Tom Crusie said. “You know it, I am loving what we have. I like it to be varied, and to have a sort of romantic fire that doesn’t last forever. So I am with Katie for appearances, and she is with me for the same reason. The truth is that she has a kink the public isn’t ready for.”

Vixxen asks what, and Tom Cruise tells her that his fiancé Katie loves black cock. She just isn’t interested in what she considers boring white men. So their arrangement protects them both from having to answer questions on their personal life, most of the time.

Tom had introduced her to his producer and director friends, who found her beautiful, intelligent and also very charming and nice to be around. And Tom Cruise also advised her that if she wanted to make a go of it in Hollywood, she needed to stop doing porn.

He said he didn’t mind what she did, he knew they were clean and it wasn’t like Hollywood didn’t have a lot of very sexual parties among actors and actresses. But the executives who funded movies would never take her seriously if she kept making low end porno films.

“Tom, baby…” she replied, somewhat insulted. “I made nearly a million dollars last year, that isn’t low end…”

Tom laughed, “Vixx, I made one movie last year, just one, and I made over $100 million, and still counting…I didn’t even get a paycheck for the film that was all backend percentages.”

Vixxen was stunned, she figured he was rich, but $100 million? What do you do with that much money. It put what she made into a different focus.

Vixxen had made a few million dollars in her five years in porn, and she had plenty saved, but she imagined a possibility of making it as an actual actress. She wasn’t ever going to publicly be with Tom, but it couldn’t hurt to be friends with one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.

“Look Vixx, you be you, you do what makes you happy, ok?” Tom Cruise continued, seeing her stunned look at how much money he made…a discussion he tended to avoid. “If you want to do this, mainstream film, I can help. I know the best acting coaches and personal trainers…although you obviously know how to work out.”

“You can stay with me and Katie for a while if you want, my place in Beverly Hills is big enough for a guest,” he said wiry his trademark smile. “We have a gym, the coaches can come to my house, and you can save your money while you build your acting career. And I know a lot of producers, I promise you will get work.”

“And my career in porno?” Vixxen asked in reply. “My time on the pole as a stripper, who will pay me to act having been what most consider to be a whore?”

Crusie again smiled, “don’t worry too much about that. There is a lot of that going around, you would be shocked to know how many actresses were prostitutes. The public doesn’t know about them, but it isn’t new. And many did porno work, the studios just buy the content and kill it when you make it.”

So with that, a promise for Tom Cruise to help her, and for a place to stay, Vixxen quit the porn industry and started to try and make a go of it as a serious actress.
