The left hand was pinned against the wall and she could sense a shiver running down her spine. His breath seemed more ragged and his voice came out hoarse and anxious.
“You like this, don’t you?” Claire could do nothing but nod. She could feel the moistness gathering between her folds. This sure wasn’t what she had expected when he had called her earlier that night.

Claire had only rounded the corner before her phone went off. She looked at the display, which showed “withheld number”. She wondered who it could be? Pressing the key she answered the call.
“Hello?” she said a bit confused. A dark and very upbeat voice met her.
“Hello there, so you are all set for the party, eh?” Suddenly it dawned on her who was calling.
“Jake!” she replied, surprised. Why in the world would he call her, she had just left him a few minutes ago!
She had been having dinner with a friend and then returned to the amusement centre where she worked part-time. While waiting for a few colleagues before going to the annual Christmas party, she had entertained herself by talking to one of the many security guards. He was tall, short cropped hair, dark chocolate coloured skin, piercing eyes that seemed to have that “bad boy” glint in them and wore a permanent smile on his face. She had never seen him doing anything but smile and joke around ever since meeting him two weekends ago. They had talked a few times, and she found him entertaining as he had never seemed to run out of things to say. She had never ever though of him in any other way. Not until tonight that was.
“Hey, if you guys are going clubbing, give me a ring, will you? I can join you after work.”
“Sure,” she smiled. “But I think we’re on our way to a gay club. Still want me to give you a ring if we end up there?”
“Nah! Don’t do that, I’m not into men,” he said laughing before going into a long speech about why he wouldn’t set foot in a gay club. They both laughed.
“Ok, I promise to send you a text message on your phone wherever we end up, ok?” Claire smiled and hung up.

The sturdy bouncer looked them up and down before letting them into the club.
“Go all the way to the top,” he said and pointed towards a flight of stairs. The whole group started running up the stairs. The stairs were steep wooden ones with glass walls surrounding them, and the group kept going up and up before finally reaching the top. Each floor held a bar and plenty of seating where good-looking men were holding light-hearted conversations in the flickering light of lit candles.
“Gosh, isn’t it such a shame they are all gay?” sighed Diane, one of Claire’s colleagues.
“Yes,” Claire laughed. “Remember; they are either married, taken or gay!” The girls laughed before finally entering the door to the top floor. The music was pumping and red, blue, yellow and green disco lights were flashing, and on the tiny stage there were four utterly chic and well-dressed men dancing.
Holding a Smirnoff Ice, Claire leaned back towards the glass wall and watched the people on the dance floor. There were a few girls standing a in a corner looking like they didn’t belong there, in another corner were two African girls really getting down on the dance floor, and on the stage a cute Belgian girl dressed up as a Playboy bunny, white bunny tail and all, had joined the four guys.
Claire’s eyes were drawn to the taller of the guys. Dressed in black from top till toe, the shirt unbuttoned giving a glimpse of his naked chest and wearing a hat, his image exuded effortless cool. Claire sighed quietly pondering if she should just start dating bisexual men instead, after all, you might get the benefits of a gay man with the benefits of a straight one….
Claire’s phone bleeped and vibrated, demanding her attention. “1 message received” the display said. She read the message.
“Tell me where you are, I’ll make it worth our while...” Claire smiled and started replying to the message.
“In a gay club drooling over gorgeous well dressed men...” A few minutes later the reply came.
“Get back here, I’ll keep you entertained...”
“Why would I leave a place where all the men look great and have wonderful bodies? What do you have to offer?” She clicked and sent. His reply came back quickly.
“Bodies you can’t touch…come by here when you’re done...”
Claire smiled and felt strangely excited about the whole text message and the flirting. She had never even thought of Jake in that way before. Was he actually interested? And what was he implying with that “bodies you cant touch” thing? She was curious to find out.
