I slammed my fifth shot down on the bar, looking over at the lemur sitting beside me. He looked at me, tapping a finger against the bar giving a huff. Flashing my teeth, my tail swayed behind me. He would be my eighth and final client for the day. Glancing over his body I saw his erection pressing against his loose shorts. "You got the cash?"
"It's in the room I rented, you almost ready?" His voice was filled with annoyance, I had taken my sweet time getting into the mindset to get him off. "Yea, come on, sweet cheeks." Taking my hand, he led me towards the private rooms.
Conversations hummed around the club, I couldn't make out any particular conversation over the soft, sensual music. In the middle of the main event room, there was a stage. My favorite sub was on stage, getting tormented by their doms teasing. I couldn't help it when my feet stilled, my attention turning fully to the stage. "You coming? Or are you just going to watch what you could be doing?"
The deep raspy voice attached to my hand made my ears tilt back. That's the moment I heard a familiar voice over the noise of the crowd. "Do any of you know who that lovely panther is?" I knew everything there was to know about them, at least as far as their stage performances went. Hesitating, I looked over at the man who had me in tow. "I'll meet you there, I need a moment to talk to an old friend."
Slim was not an old friend. I'd never talked with him before, but I was familiar with his status within the club. I had been looking for a moment when he wasn't on stage, or yelling at someone for looking at him the wrong way. "Don't be too long, I've already spent the last hour waiting for you to get your shit together." Letting go of my hand, he went down the hall to the left of the stage. I'd be able to find him by his scent alone.
"I try to keep tabs on my own pets, my dears, sometimes new talent isn't always my top priority. What can you tell me about them?" Slims sharp tone caused an uncomfortable silence. The wolves he was speaking with had stilled, one even had his tail tucked. Stumbling, I shoved my way through the small pack, ignoring the growls and glares pointed in my direction.
My words, despite me focusing, were slurred. "Jinx is a switch, they love to be fucked while tied up. They also enjoy fucking while someone else is tied up." Slim's gaze fell on me. He almost had to lean down to get a good look at me. His lips pursed as he gave me the once over I was used to. His eyes were filled with desire, not unlike the ones focused up on the stage. "I'd like to know more, would you like to sit?"
My heart had stumbled in my chest. I managed a smirk with a slight nod and took his hand, leading him to a booth on the opposite side of the club, still in view of the stage. That lemur would just have to wait if he wanted me to fuck him. I slid into my seat across from Slim, leaning my head in my hand, taking the chance to subtly look over the man of the hour.
"I'm Cam, long time patron of your shows. I've been watching Jinx for a few months, they are mesmerizing, aren't they?" Slims eyes narrowed, not breaking his eye contact as he studied my face. My heart picked up again, my sheath already throbbing. "Indeed, do you know if they're oozing for employment?" Slims question took me off guard, I wasn't expecting him to be so direct. "I couldn't imagine they are. They seem to be doing well, they have the same dom with them every performance. They've been on stage here for a couple months now. I've seen them switch places with him on occasion, that's when they really draw in the crowds."
Slims' jaw ticked, he seemed frustrated by my response. He wanted information, but it wasn't what he was looking for. "I see, and do you know who I am, Mr. Observant?"
Did I know who he was? What kind of question was that? Anyone who had been at the club longer than a day knew who Slim was. "Oh, do I know you? You mean the most feared, and loved, pimp in this club? The only human that dares to enter Gloria's club? Yes, I know you. How did you sweet talk Gloria into letting you in, in the first place?" It was odd, Night Dragon had a no humans rule, Slim was an exception to the rule. "She owed me a favor, not that it's any of your business."
I'd only met Gloria once, she was a kind dragon that always kept her word. She owned the club, anyone here, was here under her approval. She was purple in the sun, but jet black in any other lighting, hence the name Night Dragon. No one messed with Gloria, although she was kind, she also had a no bullshit policy.
Their deal meant nothing to me, I didn't stick my nose where it didn't belong, unless it could benefit me. Getting up, I slid myself over Slim's lap, pressing my back up against the wall, my legs draped over his. "I really don't care, I'm glad she let you in. You're the most interesting, dark and handsome thing that has happened to this club since V."
My mind was firmly focused on the man under my legs. I was able to see his hair tied back in a neat pony, his suit screamed power. He smelled of pine and cinnamon, I closed my eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. A hand landed on my thigh, stroking my fur in slow circles, making my breath come faster. It was hard to think, until he spoke again.
"I put V out of business by only employing the best, my boys perform. Her girls? They just sounded... fake." I leaned my head back on the wall, fidgeting with my tail trying to regain some of my composure. I'd done this hundreds of times, so why was my stomach flipping around inside me?
