Back Story

It had always been interesting to me the things that happened here nightly at the club. Mists is one of the premier gay clubs in our town. We are always filled nightly with patrons looking for that unknown trick of the night to walk through the door. Me now that was a different story all together, I was your friendly every day Bar Back Manager at the club. Well at least until tonight, when he walked into my life.

I have always been one of the best bar backs at Mists, and had just received a promotion to Manager two weeks prior. I was excited still from the high of my promotion. Just imagine my furry fox tail the day I was called into the owner's office. First thing that came to mind was: "Oh fuck, I am toast!" I slowly walked into the office, black tail down between my legs trying my best to hide my nervous shakes. "Az," the club owner always loves shortening my name from Azrael, "I was wondering how long have you been with us here at Mists?" All that came to my mind was: Yup, my goose is cooked. "About a year and a half now Sir." I meekly answered trying not to look him in the eyes. "Ah, yes, I remember the day I hired you, I knew you would be just right for Mists" he replied. "Sir, not to be rude, but am I in some sort of trouble?" I asked. "Trouble! No, no, no!" he said smiling. Wow, that was close. "Like I said I have some major plans for you here at Mists." "Major plans Mr. Rose? Like what?" I questioned as I allowed my now fluffy tail poke out and sway in excitement. "Have you heard about David leaving the club?" he responded. "Huh, well I had heard rumors Sir." I kind of lied David had told me not one month earlier that he would be leaving.

"Well you see with him leaving I am going to be in need of a good Bar Back Manager, and if you would be willing I would like to offer you the job." He said in a kind but rough tone. All I can say is my poor snout still hurts from the hard thud it made when it hit the concrete floor. "Uh, uh, Yes Sir I would be honored to be placed in the position." I was in total shock, my smile though was uncontrollable, and my heart was racing. "Fantastic, your promotion will go into effect starting tomorrow night."

That leads us to where we are tonight. I have been in this position for what was now two, stressful, but yet enjoyable weeks. David had left a lot of unfinished paper work, and at the moment I was close to putting his basketball sized wolf head into a pair of vice grips and crushing it. Well maybe not that mad, but I was really close to it. I had spent my first four hours of my shift finishing said paper work, and knowing tonight was one of our most important club events I had to get my furry butt onto the floor to help tend to the customers.

"Hey Az, The Queen just arrived!" Marc, a red and gold husky, one of my bar backs had leaned into my office door, gesturing the pageant queen wave as he said it. "She has asked for you to make her special drink." "Ugh, will she not let you do it?" I said. "Nope, she said: 'she does not want my husky ass doing it', her words not mine." You see The Queen was one of our most popular drag queens, and for the past year she had been crushing on me, and made no qualms about hiding her feelings. "Damn it! Ok, tell her I am on my way out in five minutes." I had to keep from smacking her for interrupting my me time so five minutes would allow that.

"Really, you are going to make her wait? And you are going to make me tell her?" Marc said with pure dread in his voice. "Better your furry ass under the bus than mine!" I grinned imagining the white furred polar bear drag queen driving the bus over him, yeah that would be nice. To be honest Marc although a good Bar Back was also in the running for my job, and since he found out I had gotten the promotion he had done nothing but given me hell for the past two weeks. "Gee, thanks! I guess I deserve that." He said smiling. "Yup!" I responded. Eh, he wasn't too bad.

I finished my paper work in about a minute, but allowed Marc to suffer the consequences of his lack of force to get me out to make The Queen's drink. "You bitch, I told you to get my Azy out here now!" She said in her worst feminine voice she could muster. "Queen, first things first, he isn't your Azy, and second, I doubt he would touch you with his ten foot rod if he had ten condoms on." Oh yeah Marc was putting himself under the bus even more, this was going to be fun to see.

I pushed the heavy door to my office open, you see Mr. Rose loved hidden rooms, and had hidden the Bar Managers' door behind a wall of shelves full of drinks. I had totally expected to walk out and find Queen on top of Marc giving him what for, but sadly no, she was sitting at the black quartz counter glaring him down, while he was in the corner closest to my office so if she did jump the counter after him he could run into my office for protection. Even if I didn't like him I would protect him since he was a co-worker. "Hello, Queen." I said in a low and affirmative voice. I knew that it would make her whiskers curl, and make her shutter. Of course I also knew the fact it would lead to her having other ideas, and that fact made me shutter worse.

"Azy you finally came out of your dungeon!" Queen said. Huh!? Where did she hear I had a dungeon in my house. "Oh, the office! Haha, yes. I was told your sexy ass needed a drink," I had to keep from vomiting my meal up saying that, but whatever makes your customer happy they say, "let me fix that for you. Long Island Iced Tea right? With Five extra shots of everything, excluding the coke?" Yeah to be with that bitch you would need something that strong to see beauty even if it was for a night. Needless to say I am not one to date drag queens if you can't tell. Every night I made this for her, and every night it was the same, I make, she drinks half, and gives the rest to some poor young pup in the crowd. She takes them home, and god knows what she does. I have such pity for those poor pups, but they ask for it even if they are new to Mists everyone knows her reputation. "Yes, love! Want to share a glass with me?" She said smiling. "Thanks but no thanks Queen, I am on the clock, no drinks for me." God I love that rule I will have to thank Mr. Rose for placing it in the handbook.

"Well if you change your mind you know where I am!" She was overly confident I would someday take her up on this offer I could tell. "Uh yeah, sure do dear!" I said knowing this did not help the situation. Neither did the snickers and full on laughs of my staff behind me. I automatically cocked my furry head back shooting them a go to hell look, my eyes going solid black. They stopped laughing immediately, the looks I give for some reason seem to do that. Well there is a reason, but too early to disclose that. "Sorry Sir! We will stop!" Jason one of my other Bar Backs said.

"Please do, and get back to work! We have less than ten minutes till customers arrive!" I said slowly and through clinched teeth. We had just finished putting all our needed essentials out on the bar when our first customers came in. A group of ten made up of three foxes, two dragons, and five huskies. I was sure out of those ten all but one had been on something, but hey it's their life not mine. A few more groups, couples, and even our normal "I am looking for love!" but in reality all they were interested in finding tricks, came through the black door into the main bar. The bar's décor was that of a Victorian era, wooden everything, and black and purple walls. Like any other bar it had lights, music, and places to sit. One thing that we had that other bars didn't where the private time rooms. Yupp, boys and girls we have sex rooms here at Mists. Not everyone's cup of tea, but hey if you find you a good lay its perfect. I had had my own little tryst in one before I started to work here so I know how exciting it could be.

The club was filled to full capacity, as a matter of fact we were having to turn away fursons, nothing uncommon for our annual Miss Mists Pageants. We had been open only for an hour when people started leaving with tricks, and play toys, yup Marc was at it again giving a little too much in the drinks. Lucky for me though tonight he was doing this or I would have never met Josh. Ah, yes Josh, a complete newbie. Oh wait, more to this.

It was about showtime when he walked in. A husky with black and white fur, about five foot nine, and somewhat of a beer belly. Handsome to me, but to other's maybe not. He had of been at least eighteen, maybe twenty at the most. I was standing to the side of the bar when I saw him come in. He was with a few other people. Two of which I knew from my past. He was nervous, his tail between his legs, snout pointing down to the ground, and eyes just bouncing around to everything. The few times his eyes landed on our stripers, you could tell he wasn't looking any higher than the nicely defined bulge below their waist. Yup Mr. Rose had done right when he picked out those nice black thongs. He was blushing every time he looked at one, but I could tell he was tempted to just yank the shorts down, and pull back the sheath and wrap his snout around their thick cocks. Yeah I had been there too, so I knew how tempting it was.

So did his friends evidentially because when he started to coyly walk up to one of our dancers they freaked, and pulled him back to their side, patted him on the head, and from what I could tell said: 'Good boy!'. I actually kind of snickered when I saw this because I had done the exact same thing my first time here. This made me blush thinking back, but hey we all learn as we grow older. I could tell he was new, and he didn't like being held back, but he needed to be careful who he messed with here.

The show had just started with Mr. Rose introducing our headliner The Queen. For some strange reason I just kept my eyes on the black and white husky. "Az, are you in there?" Marc said. Spinning around, coming out of my deep trance,"Oh, fuck! Damn it you freakin scared me!" "Oh, Sorry!Do you want a break? You have been here for a while?" He asked. "Maybe in a few moments. I have my eyes on something." I said softly. He smiled, and gave me a nod of understanding.

It was now one a.m. and we were into the second round of numbers when I noticed my ex Travis coming up to the bar. He was about as tall as who I would soon find out was named Josh, he was a neon red husky, with a black under belly. "Hey Azy baby!" He said, signaling for me to come. "Travis, good to see you here, how you been babe?" I said. "Good, good, just kind of brought a newbie to the club to break his clubbing cherry!" he said with an evil grin. "Haha, just like you did with me huh babe?" I leaned over the counter whispering into his ear. It drove him nuts when we were an item, and yup it still does it now. His legs just gave out. "Ugh I hate it when you do that!" he protested. "Hmm, I didn't hear you complain too much when we were together. As a matter of fact I remember you begging everytime I did that for me to fuck you!" I said as a gentle reminder. "Haha. You know me too well babe!" he said.

"So you gonna take him home with ya?" I ask knowing the answer. "Haha, no sadly babe I am not!" he said. "He is a bottom just like little ole me, so the only thing that will happen is maybe a hug and kiss", he smiled as he responded. I was in shock he was actually being nice, and did not plan on taking advantage of the pup. "Oh, so just a night on the town huh?" "Yup, just friends hanging out doing friendly stuffs", he said. While we were talking The Queen made her second entrance, and he turned to watch. 'Good while you watch her, I will gladly watch him' I thought to myself. All of a sudden I felt something inside of me. I felt like a radar had grabbed my attention, and it was The Queen.

Yup, she had spotted him as well. And from what I could tell he was going to be her next potential victim if I didn't react soon. She had just finished her number when I heard overhead: "May I have your attention please. We have noticed that we have a few new faces in the crowd tonight. We would like to ask all of our newbies to come up front on stage!" Yup she had him in her sights I knew it now. Well lucky for him he was smart, he just hid next to his friends, and my ex who had by now joined him again. "Oh no, no, no! We have someone skipping out on us!" her voice said. Crap she did intend to get him up there no matter what. She walked from the stage, and directly to his table. Yup poor boy he is going to be embarrassed to his death.

She pointed to the poor black and white husky with what where now beet red checks. "You boy, your Queen beckons you to the stage!" She said in a high and taughty voice. 'Gods I feel soooo sorry for him!' I thought. "Azrael my love!" She said overhead. "Yes my lovely Queen!" I said, but more thinking: ' Yes your royal Bitch!' "Bring,... Oh, dear what is your name?" she asked. "Josh." He said as if he was going to die. "Azrael please bring Josh, and myself a nice large glass of my special drink!" She said demandingly. "Yes my Queen!" Ugh this was downgrading. I am use to being dominate not having to put up with this crap. I mixed a fresh batch up, but kind of helped the poor husky out by cutting his in half with extra coke. If he did drink it I was sure he would stay sober enough not to go with her.

"Here we go Queen" I said making sure to hand her the stronger of the two. "Thank you, now go!" She said. Ugh kill me, no kill her now she gets too much enjoyment from this. "Josh, I welcome you into my palace, and toast you!" She said trying to contain her excitement. She had him in his web, or so she thought. They took a sip, him trying not to gag on it, yup never has had a drink before either. He is becoming more and more my type the new kid. She on the other hand chugged the glass down in one gulp, as if she was at a frat party. She handed her glass to me, and looked at Josh who had only consumed a quarter of the drink. "Drink my boy, Drink!" She demanded. Slowly he took down the last bit. I walked up to him, and reached out for the glass. His paw still on the glass I reached out, and kind of touched his. I said to him to where he only could hear: "So sorry about this, she has a tendency to do crap like this!" He just nodded his head, and looked up at me his eyes where such a pretty blue.

I returned to my post at the bar, but didn't feel up to tending now. I was depressed. I was also excited because Josh seemed to be very handsome and even was my type. If I had not of cut that drink in half he might go home with her, and heck he still just might. I looked up and noticed Travis standing up from his seat. 'Hmm,' I said to myself, 'they must be leaving.' I then noticed Josh stand, and start towards the bar. My heart was racing, was he coming to talk to me? He walked almost to the bar, stopped as if to think, and turned to the left. 'Oh, the bathroom!' I thought. Yup this poor pup was so nervous.

"Hey Marc, I am going to make a run to the bathroom!" I said. "Uh huh sure you are, just remember the condoms are stored in the stalls!" he said with an evil grin. "Fuck you!" I said. "Nope you're going to fuck someone else" he responded and laughed. I grinned, and walked off.

"Hey, Josh right?" I said as I walked in. "Huh, yeah." he said meekly. "I'm Azrael, the bar back manager. I hope you're ok." I said concerned. I was now standing next to him looking into the mirror. He was a few inches shorter than me being five foot eleven. I was a little bit heavier than him in the gut area too, but standing next to one another we were a cute couple if you asked me. "Huh, yeah. Its jus... jus... I have..." he said. "Never done this before?" I completed his sentence for him. "Yeah pretty much." He said. "Look everyone has a first for something. You have the right to be nervous. I know I was when I first came here!" I said as if to comfort more, and placed myself behind him with my paws on his shoulders, and snout on top of the left one. A very cute picture if you asked me.

"So what do we do now?" he questioned. "Well you go do what you need to do I go do what I gotta do and we go back out there." I said. "Oh!" he said in a shaky voice. "Why did you think I had come in here to take advantage of you?" I questioned. Yup Travis is really good at making newbies think all the wrong things. "Well, well, kind of what I expected..."he said as if in shock. "Hahaha, yup your fresh meat so to say. No, that's not my M.O. I am here to use the bathroom, and even check on you to make sure you're ok." I responded with a grin. "By the way, cute outfit, and even cuter model wearing it!" I said. Cheesy line but the pup smiled. "Thank you, and I hope I didn't offend you" he said.

"Nope no offence taken, heck you're hanging out with my ex, and I am sure he has told you a lot of stories, and surely most about him!" I grinned showing my shining white fangs. "So how old are you Josh? Nineteen maybe?" "Uh no, twenty!" he said shocked. "Eh, close, but no cigar I guess. Hahaha. I am twenty-six." I remarked. "Damn your young for a manager aren't you?" Josh said surprised. "Eh, I just got promoted two weeks ago. I was twenty five not a month before I was offered the job." I said with pride. "Nice, I bet you're a good manager. You seem to have their respect." "Oh, lord your funny. They respect me for one reason and one reason alone." I said. "And what would that be?" he said with a glimmer of happiness I had not seen all night. "They are afraid of what I might do to them if they don't" I said coyly.

"Oh, afraid you might bite their heads off?" he said jokingly not knowing how close to right he was. "Eh, you can say that" I was staring at the picture of us in the mirror. It was very nice to see me next to someone, I hadn't dated anyone since Travis and I broke up after I caught him cheating with The Queen one night in the BDSM room of the club. Yet another reason for me to despise the god awful bitch. This was about a year ago when this happened so I kind of have let that go. I stepped back from behind him. He was squirming a little as my cock became hard as we stood there. He wasn't trying to get away, but more trying to get it in just the right spot.

I smiled and blushed as I realized how turned on he was making me. This wasn't right for me to be like this, but he was adorable, and I really liked what I saw. "So, hey Josh?" I questioned. "Yes!?" he was turned on just as much as I was, if not more from the sound in his voice. "Look, I wasn't sure if you would be ok with me asking this, but I will anyways. How would you like to go out sometime when I am off from work?" I said with hope in my voice. "Uh, well, I mean I uh, well. Fuck I don't know!" he said as if mad at himself. I smiled understanding his hesitation. "Tell you what, here is my number. You call me when you want to go out and see what I am like away from Mists." "You're not mad are you?" he said as if he made me mad. "No, from what I have seen you're scared. I understand your hesitation. I have been in this same spot. Just ask Travis, he approached me the same way I approached you." I said with a grin.

By this time the bottom of his snout was on the counter. 'Yup you did it just right!' I said to myself. By now I had teased him enough. I slowly slid my paw down his left side to his hip. I reached around and turned him to face me. My snout was a smidge above his, so I took my right paw and lifted his snout to mine. "Look, I am highly interested in a date. If you want one you now have my phone number. If not, you can trash it, and I will see you around. Either way I am here as a friend if you need it." I said. After this I leaned into him, and gave him a kiss on his soft furry snout. All of the sudden he was kissing back, we were mingling tongues as well. 'Hmmm, for a newbie he fucking kisses great!' I said with a smirk in the tone to myself. We kissed for what seemed like forever, but had to stop because people entered, and things might have gone farther if it hadn't of been for that.

"Look call me later we better get back out there." I said. He spent the rest of the night up at the bar with me. We talked when we could, and I focused on him as much as possible. At close he was still there, and I had to send him off. "Hey, we're closing up, call me if you want to go out." I said. "Most definitely!" he said happily. I walked up to him and gave him a hug. Which suddenly turned into a kiss. Yupp he is a fucking fantastic kisser.
