They head to the strip club.

"Have you been to a strip club before?" Ryan asked as he watch Marlissa put on her floral dress and high heels. He hadn't been to any since he was an undergraduate student.

"No, but I've been in burlesque shows in Paris back in the 1920s," Marlissa replied smiling, kissing her new mortal husband on the cheek. She held on to his arm tightly as they left their room, in the elevator, and into the lobby. To everyone they were like any typical newlywed couple and for all intents and purposes they were.

They drove to Pussy Lounge at the outskirts of town and noticed it was fairly busy. "This isn't like any gentlemen's club or burlesque show I've been to," Marlissa said as she stared at the gaudy neon sign. As they approached the front door, which was guarded by a huge muscular bouncer, Marlissa spotted a poster that read, "Amateur night! First prize $500!"

"Amateur night?" Marlissa asked the bouncer.

"Yeah, once a month we let girls, usually from the nearby college, go on stage and strip," the bouncer answered. Ryan noticed the bouncer stayed professional and didn't check out Marlissa's perfect body. "It's free to enter."

Ryan paid for his cover (women get in for free) and the two of them entered the loud strip club filled with cigarette smoke, cheap perfume, pulsating lights, and techno music. They could feel the eyes of the male patrons divert from the strippers on stage to Marlissa's statuesque presence. Ryan tried to take her to a dark table at the back but the succubus insisted to sit up at the stage. As Ryan ordered a plate of hot wings and beer on tap, Marlissa watched in fascination as the strippers in stiletto heels dance, gyrate, and do feats of gymnastics on the stripper pole.

"Remember this is amateur night! First prize is $500!" the announcer said as the latest stripper got off stage. "If you ladies want to try out, come up to the DJ booth and register!"

"May I enter, love?" Marlissa begged Ryan. He looked at her green eyes and despite knowing her magical charm powers did not work on him as her master he felt he could not say no to her pleading eyes.
