...farther from the limelight...

Trixie closed her eyes and swallowed hard, then opened her now empty mouth and showed it to the stallion. He smiled down at her. "That's a good little slut... and obedient... you gulped down my entire load, just like I told you to." He held her down on her head as she tried to get up from her knees. "Hang on...there's still some of my cum and your spit left on my balls...clean them up!" She gave him a half-lidded gaze and then looked down, opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and finished her job.

She ended up sucking his cock twice more before he was satisfied with her, but she'd learned a valuable lesson over the weeks: "Always get the money first!" so before she blew him she made him pay her beforehoof. He'd gotten angry, and at first, refused, but she'd shrugged and made to leave the alley without a word. That was something she'd also learned the hard way: "Never argue!" If they didn't want to pay, don't raise your voice, don't plead, don't insult them, just...leave.

She'd also picked up a few tricks as a Unicorn over the weeks; how to use her magic to stimulate one part of a guy while she was sucking on another part, or allowing them to fuck her while she manipulated various toys or caressed them in other parts of their bodies while doing the deed. In this way, she was steadily growing a reputation for being more desirable and was thus able to sometimes charge higher prices.

At least, from her regulars.

Though she wasn't quite at the level of a 'Hundred Bit Blowjob,' she did show a natural aptitude for it, never having much of a gag reflex as part of her prior life as a showmare. How little she knew such a skill would translate over into a benefit for the life she was being forced to live now, but she knew she would simply keep doing what she must.

Another part of her prior life that she used now was the ability to fake emotion. When the stallion ordered her to lick his balls clean, she'd gazed up at him in a lustful way. But inside? She'd been thinking of how much more she'd be able to charge him, for she knew if she ran her tongue over his balls and sucked on them just so, with all the moaning and staring up into his eyes as if having his messy balls in her mouth was the greatest thing ever, it might arouse him again and possibly get him to want another blowjob, thus doubling her fee from this one client alone.

Despite everything she'd gone through, she was still a businessmare.

Trixie strolled back up to the others, ass bouncing, tail swinging to and fro, as her john staggered out of the alley and down the street. "Wow," said Joy, "...you must've sucked that guy's brains out through his dick! It's been a while since I've seen a guy that loopy!"

Trixie looked over her shoulder at him and grinned, then turned back to her friends. "It wasn't that hard to do...his cock was pretty big, but it was obvious he hadn't had it sucked in a long time...so his stupid wife just made my job easier!"

As they were all chuckling together, they heard, "Yes! Oh yes! Daddy loves you! Daddy LOOOVES YOUUUU!!" and then the sound of gulping. A few moments later, a stallion came bursting out of the alley, head down and red-faced, and bolted down the street. Terri then came trotting out of the same alley, grinning and licking her lips of leftover cum. Brandi smiled down at her once she made it to the group. "Another satisfied customer?"

Terri looked back at the retreating stallion, then turned back with a scowl. "Yeah..." she sighed, "...another pervert who wanted me to pretend I was his kid and suck his dick." Her demeanor then changed, and she stared up at them with wide, soulful eyes and shuffled her hooves. "Oh... Daddy? You... you want me to... put your... pee pee... in my... mouth?! And...and...don't tell... Mommy? O...okay...Daddy..." Then she changed back to normal and spat on the street. "Fucking scumbags. At least if they're letting me suck their dicks, they might be leaving their own kids alone." She took out her smokes and lit one up.

Brandi frowned. "I really wish you wouldn't act like that, Terri... it reminds me too much of my childhood..."

Terri glanced up at her. "Sorry, Brandi...I know you told me what you went through, but so did I...so did a lot of us..." She threw down her cigarette butt and crushed it out. "C'mon...let's get some more johns! I feel like sucking some more cocks and getting a few dicks up my ass before the night's over!"

Having long since given up her short-shorts, in favor of a tiny miniskirt with no panties, Trixie had also trimmed her tail and kept it flagged while she was "on the clock," as she had much greater success attracting clients when her ponut and pussy were clearly on view. It also cut down the time she needed to spend once she took them into an alleyway or behind a building, for all she had to do then was turn around and hike her skirt up, or simply arch her back and spread her legs, and it was go time! In addition, unlike her one time with that bastard, there was absolutely NO kissing! If a stallion wanted the "marefriend experience," he paid triple for it and he did it at the brothel, not out on the street! She only had a hooful of regulars that were like this, that she saw at least once a week, and she did her best to please them so they'd keep asking for her.

Pregnancy wasn't an issue either, as she and all the other girls were put on contraceptives no sooner than being taken in to the "employ" of Slick, for the last thing he wanted was a bunch of illegitimate foals tumbling all over the place. Even though the brothel catered to just about every carnal delight Equestria offered, "preggo sex" was something Slick simply didn't care to indulge.

As they were strolling along to another corner, they suddenly heard a loud, "Halt!" and they all froze in place. Soon, there came into their view three constables, all male, who quickly surrounded them. "So..." said the first one, who was clearly in charge, "...what have we here?"

Joy spoke up. "Just three friends and my daughter out on a nightly stroll, officers. No law against that, is there?" The constables eyed them all up and were obviously interested in more than just..."questioning" them.

One stopped in front of Terri. "How old are you, kid?"

She stuck out her bottom lip and trembled. "J...just t...ten...S...Sir!" She looked up at Joy. "M...Mommy? Is...is h...he gonna be...mean to us? I wanna go home!"

The constable smirked and looked at his companions, then looked back down at her. "You're dressed pretty slutty for a ten-year-old, little whore." He leaned in closer and sniffed. "Plus you've been smoking, so lose the "innocent act." She scowled up at him but kept quiet.

Then one looked at Trixie. "You're a new face. What's your name?"

"Cherry, Sir."

He squinted and moved closer. "Hang on...I think I know you..." He walked right up to her side and pulled her skirt up.

"Hey! Do you mind?!" she cried.

"Oh, shut up, slut...it's not like I'm the first guy to see your naked ass tonight..." He studied her cutie mark, but she'd had it magically altered (temporarily, and at considerable cost) weeks ago. He released her skirt without pulling it back down and said, "My mistake. Thought you were this failed magician that disappeared over a month ago." Then he grinned and gave her ass a slap, which made her cry out. "Nice..." He turned and leered at his associates with a look none of the girls missed. Still, they had to try.

"Can we go now?" asked Joy.

He grinned at her. "Not...so fast. We should throw you all in jail for solicitation...or..."

That's when Joy played her ace card. "We work for Slick, so you're not getting any bits out of us..."

The leader looked around with a puzzled expression, then asked his officers, "Huh. That's weird. I don't see this... "Slick" fellow anywhere...do either of you?"

They both made a show of looking all over the place as well, then smirked as they answered, "No, Sergeant, not a 'Slick' to be seen!"

As they laughed, "Cherry" stepped forward and said, "We'll suck your cocks!"

They all stopped laughing and grew serious. "Oh, you're gonna do that anyway, slut..." growled the Sergeant. He looked around. "And we're gonna fuck all of you..." he added with a sneer. "But first, pay up!"

But Trixie was desperate. She was working too hard and had gone through too much to lose a single bit, plus she knew Slick would accept no excuses from any of them if they came back without his cut. "We'll pay you...but if you fuck us first, we'll do it better! We promise, don't we girls?!" She looked back at them all, and they could see something in her eyes, so they quickly nodded.

"She's right," said Brandi. "You're gonna get our money anyway, so what's the rush?"

The Sergeant narrowed his eyes at them. "I know you're planning something, but I also know there's nothing you dumb bitches can do, so yeah, no problem: fun first, money immediately after!" He then stepped forward and grabbed Trixie. "And you get to suck my cock first, slut!" He then pulled her into a nearby alley, followed by his other officers pulling Joy and Brandi, as Terri trailed along behind them. They sat down on boxes and trash cans, then spread their legs as the mares knelt in front of them.

The constables pulled out their nightsticks and held them ready. "One warning, sluts..." growled the Sergeant, "...if you try biting our dicks, we'll cave your skulls in...got it?" They all nodded. He looked up at Terri, who was waiting at the head of the alley. "Same goes for you. If you try to run, we'll bash all of your friends' heads in. You stand there until one of us is ready for you." With wide eyes, she shuddered and nodded.

The one who had Joy positioned in front of him leered down at her and said, "Time to put that smart mouth of yours to some good, slut..." She didn't say a word, just leaned forward, opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and started pleasing him. The alleyway was soon filled with moans, as the stallions leaned back and their eyes began to roll up in their heads.

Trixie watched them carefully out of the corner of her eyes as she kept sucking and bobbing her head, waiting for them all to start cumming. Once they began bucking their hips, she slipped her hoof into her purse and took out one of the last smoke bombs she'd saved from her wagon. As they all gripped the mares' heads and shot their loads down their throats, she waited for her friends and herself to stop swallowing their spunk and the males all leaned back with a sigh. When she saw they were all spent, and weak, and every mare had pulled their cocks out of their throats, she suddenly screamed, "RUN!!" Levitating Terri onto her back, she threw down the smoke bomb and bolted out of the alley, hoping the rest would follow! She'd needn't have worried, for they were all abreast of her, with the filly clinging to her back, as they all didn't stop galloping until they were safely back home.

When their pimp found out about their treatment at the hooves of those officers, he was furious. But not for their sakes, because mares were cheap, and could always be easily replaced. No, what infuriated him was the fact his name was mentioned, yet it invoked no fear, no...respect.

This? Could not be tolerated.

The dark Earth pony was no mere thug, no brainless bully. He'd learned from a very early age that if you wanted something, you had to take it, and if you had it, you had to be strong enough to keep it. He'd grown up in a family of seven, with both parents and four other siblings, with himself being the smallest. His father had been a laborer, and his mother had been a store clerk, which left the children to fend for themselves most days. Far from being abusive, both his parents had been warm and loving towards themselves and their children, and they all had been happy...until the night everything changed.

All anypony knew was that he'd lost both parents, and he and his siblings were split up and placed in foster homes. Whatever happened to him in those places he'd never spoken about, but whatever it was that happened, he'd come away...different. Gone was the happy little colt who used to love to play games and joke with his brothers and sisters...to be replaced by a hulking, silent, brooding menace whom everypony was sure had more than a few corpses in his wake...

The first step was finding out who those constables were. One by one, he spoke to each of the mares alone and got a detailed description of the event, making sure they left nothing out. Once he had their descriptions, he then set about finding out their names. In doing so, he discovered all three were relatively new hires, just transferred from a different city. He then sent a private message to his contacts on the police force...and waited.

And smiled.

Sergeant Knuckles was just sitting down to dinner when there was a knock on his front door. "Could you get that, honey?" he called out to his teenage daughter.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Sure Dad...I don't mind playing 'door-stop' late at night!" then bounced over to the door and opened it...then froze. "D...Dad...?" as she backed away from the opening, and the biggest Earth pony she'd ever seen came lumbering in. Knuckles stuck his head around the corner, alerted to the fear in his daughter's voice.

"What the...who are you?! Get the hell out of my house!!" he screamed. But the Earth pony wasn't alone. Two others entered with him and took up positions on either side. Knuckle's wife came into the room as well, and her eyes widened as she saw the intruders.

"Who...who are they, Br...Brass?" she fearfully asked her husband.

"I don't know, but they all just fucked up," he answered. He scowled at them and said, "You just entered a policepony's home, idiots! Every one of you fuckers is now under arrest!"

The big Earth pony smiled and looked down at him. "You're Sergeant Knuckles, correct?"

The constable's eyes widened, but he stayed defiant. "Yeah, that's right! I don't know how you know my name, but it makes no difference! You're still fucked!"

Slick's smile grew wider. "Your Captain told me your name. Yours and..." he pretended to think for a moment, "...Ah yes! Officer Lanes, and Officer Bishop...turns out the three of you had a little fun with some mares of mine a few days ago..."

At this, Knuckles' face lost color. "Y...you're...Slick?" The Earth pony merely grinned. Knuckle's wife looked at him.

"What's he talking about..."a little fun," Brass? What did you do?!"

Sweat started to form on his brow. "Nothing, honey! He's full of shit, and just trying to rile me up!" He looked back up at him but had lost some of his bluster. "Y...you can l...leave now..."

Slick turned his attention to the mare. "Your husband and his buddies decided to rape three of my ladies and then tried to rob them, but they got away." At her expression, he added, "One of them is ten years old, and they were going to rape her as well...but she's pretty hot, so I really can't blame them for that!" At their continued shocked silence, he looked at the teenage daughter and whispered, "Speaking of hot..."

The girl backed away. "D...Dad...?"

This knocked the constable out of his stupor. "Don't you go near---" but was suddenly tackled to the floor by one of the other ponies. As the girl turned to run, Slick lunged forward and grabbed her by her blonde and mauve-streaked mane, making her cry out. The mother screamed as she was also grabbed by the last male and held down. Slick dragged the girl over to Knuckle's easy chair, sat down, spread his legs, and made her kneel in front of him.

As his massive cock began to emerge from its sheath, and her eyes grew wide looking at it as it was right in front of her face, he said to the constable, "Your wife and daughter are both going to suck my cock tonight...and that's it...this time." His voice lowered. "But if you ever mess with any of my girls again, I won't be so...nice." He then placed his hooves on either side of the teen's head, pointed his dick at her lips and said, "Open your mouth..."

The constable's wife and daughter held each other and trembled, with cum still on their lips as they stared up at the big stallion. He smiled as he looked down at them, seeing the same expression of reluctant desire and arousal he usually saw on a mare's face once he'd made them sample his dick. He then looked over at the constable, who was almost catatonic in a corner, staring at his family. "I did you a favor, Sergeant, because this lesson could have been far worse. Next time, I'd listen to my Captain when he explains the rules of his city to new officers."

He then chuckled to his hired help as he was leaving. "Let's go, boys; I hear that Officer Bishop has the prettiest new bride..."

Once word spread of Slick's..."response" to the mares' incident, Trixie's first reaction was to celebrate! Nopony had said a word to her about any sort of retaliation, and she couldn't understand why her friends hadn't been worried about the police immediately after that night but had all gone out as if nothing had happened. The only answer she got that first night after the incident when she asked any of them would be, "It's fine, don't worry about it..." which of course, she found extremely unhelpful! Completely distracted, she'd kept looking over her shoulder the whole time she was out "on the job," as nervous as her first night as a prostitute, constantly scanning the streets for a cop.

"Cherry...CHERRY!"

She startled and jumped, and turned to face her friend. Brandi was scowling at her, and stepped close to whisper, "This guy really likes 'redheads' and wants you to suck his dick," she looked over her shoulder at a nervous-looking stallion, who smiled at Cherry and waved, then looked back at her, "...so get it together and get your head in the game! We told you, there's nothing to worry about!"

Trixie trembled and cast a fearful look at him, then whispered, "Is...is he safe? I mean...he's not a cop, is he?"

Through clenched teeth, her friend whispered again, "Fucking Celestia girl, we told you everything is fine! Now go suck his cock and Do. Your. JOB!"

Trixie swallowed but put on a brave face and trotted up to him. "H...hi, stud! I hear you w...want that b...big cock of yours taken care of...follow me..."

"Wow..." he breathed, "...s...sure..." he said as he followed her, sounding even more nervous than she.

When they got to the alley, she turned around and saw he was already rock-hard, having had his eyes glued to her ass the entire time. Feeling a bit more confident, she motioned to a box and said, "Have a seat and lay back...I'll take care of you..." He was shaking like a leaf the entire time, and when he sat down he still had his legs pressed tightly together. When she saw this, she smiled up at him. "First time with a hooker?" He rapidly nodded. She smiled again, as her fear evaporated. "You gotta pay first, honey." He quickly reached into his vest and grabbed a huge chunk of bits, then his hooves shook as he offered them to her. Trixie bit her bottom lip. It was obvious he was giving her every bit he had on him, and she was sorely tempted to take it all...but she hadn't sunk that low...yet. She smiled up at him again and said, "Okay, since this is your first time, Momma's only going to charge you twenty bits." She leaned in closer and said, "But this is our little secret, okay?" He nodded again, then gave her her money. She then placed her front hooves on his thighs and said, "You're gonna have to spread your legs for me, baby, if you want me to put my mouth on it..." Slowly, he drew his legs apart, while she encouraged him. "That's it...a little more...a little more...perfect..." His cock was slightly below average size, and not too impressive, but she knew the drill. Her eyes widened, and she whispered with "awe" in her voice, "Sweet Celestia...what are you feeding this monster?!"

He blushed with pride and whispered back, "You...you really...think so? I was always told I was...too small..."

She stared open-mouthed up at him. "Who told you that?! Other mares?" He nodded. She looked back down at his junk. "Well, they're crazy...I might just choke on this beast..." She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Here we go..." No sooner had her mouth closed around his cock and she began to suck he cried out and shot his load! She swallowed all his cum while she deep-throated him anyway, which caused him to further buck his hips and cum even harder! Once he was done, she let him slip out her throat and she smiled up at him. "How was it?"

"That...that was...incredible!" he panted, as his head was thrown back. He then raised it and said. "Can...can we do it...again?"

She sucked his cock once more and allowed him to have anal sex with her before he was done, each time giving him a discount. But when he tried to kiss her, she politely turned him down but told him he was sweet, and hoped she'd see him again.

As she trotted back to her friend, Brandi asked, "Feeling better? Not so nervous anymore?"

Trixie looked back at the stallion and smiled, then turned back to her. "Yes. That guy was more nervous than I was, but he was sweet, so he took my mind off my worries."

Brandi laughed. "Sweet?! That guy is a regular! That's part of his kink! He loves to play the 'nervous stallion, who'd never been with a whore before!' " Then Brandi stopped and stared at her. "Wait...you didn't do anything...special for him, did you?" One look at her face told her everything she need to know. Brandi shook her head. "Trixie...Trixie..." She sighed. "Alright, girl...that's how you learn."

In a low voice, Trixie said, "...why didn't you warn me...?"

Brandi stared back at her. "I just told you why."

Days later, when rumors reached her ears of what had happened to the families of three police officers, and how all three had quit the force, Trixie's first reaction was to rejoice. She felt bad for the families, but she felt zero remorse for those bastards that would have robbed them and thus gotten them beaten up or worse with Slick. But when she approached her friends with a smile on her face, they'd already heard the news, and quickly shut her down.

"Wipe that fucking smile off your face, idiot!" hissed Joy, as she pulled her into a corner. She looked around before continuing, making sure nopony else in the brothel could hear them. She pointed to herself, "I don't know what happened," and here she jabbed her hoof into Trixie's chest, "...and you don't know what happened! And if you want to stay alive, you keep it that way, got it?!"

Whispering back, Trixie said, "... but, isn't it a good thing? Slick protected us, and---"

"Dear Sweet LORD how can you be so stupid?!" she hissed back. "He didn't do it for us!! He did it For. His. NAME!! Now grow some brains before you get us all killed!!" She gave her one more look of disgust, then stomped away.

Three days later, there was a knock on the door of the brothel early in the afternoon. When Terri opened it, she looked up and said, "What do you two want?" There before her were two mares, one older, and one a teenager. The teen had a mane with blonde and mauve streaks in it.

"We want to stay with somepony who can protect us," said the teen.

"Where is Slick?"
