I stood in front of crimson curtains barely registering the bass-heavy music emanating from within. Savoring the moment just before I entered the main lobby of "Madam Belle's", I reflected on how long I'd been waiting for this moment. I was fresh off of the plane from a year-long deployment to Iraq and eager to enjoy the company of beautiful (and nude) women. Only these curtains now stood in my way. In the home stretch of my deployment, the anticipation of the simple pleasure of a beer and a lap dance had almost consumed me....but that was soon to be in the past.
I swiped aside the curtains and confidently strode in. Stepping past the curtains, an overwhelming mix of perfumes embraced me, stirring long-forgotten memories of previous visits to similar clubs. Even as I almost choked on the familiar scents, they made me smile. With my nose adjusted, my eyes began to adjust to the dim lighting to interpret the many sights. "Madame Belle's" was a pretty typical strip club - scantily-clad strippers flitted to and fro. To my left, a single stage with a pole commanded the center of a lobby replete with tables and chairs....and to my right a bartender poured drinks. With a beer in mind first, I immediately headed towards the bartender.
"What can I get ya?"
"You have a local porter?" I inquired.
"I've got just the thing. Pay now, or keep a tab?" Before he'd even finished the question, the bartender had already pulled out a beer from under the counter, popped its cap, and placed the beer on the counter. The bartender moved like he'd been born behind a bar.
"It's strange that after a year in Iraq, I notice things like that..." I reflected. Reaching in my back pocket to pull out my wallet, I silently answered his question by handing him a $10 bill. When he handed me the leftover cash, I put it into his tip jar. Porter in hand, I turned and began to look for a seat.
Scanning the lobby, I realized that it was fairly empty. Only a few men sat in the lobby (usually accompanied by a stripper), so there were plenty of empty chairs to choose from. My warzone nerves still somewhat on edge, I chose a chair in the back against the wall and tried to get comfortable.
Sitting down, I placed the cold bottle against my lips and had my first sip of beer in what seemed an eternity. It was bliss. But no sooner had I set the bottle down on the table adjacent to my chair than an extremely-attractive, scantily-clad blonde sat down in the chair next to me.
"Hi handsome," she said, as she leaned her body forward and reached her hand out to mine. In response, I reached back and shook her hand. I was immediately struck by the sensations of her hand in mine. It was velvet-soft - softer than I could have imagined. After a year in a warzone, I'd forgotten how soft a woman's skin was...
"I'm Candy. What's your name?"
"Jeff. Nice to meet you Candy."
"Well, Jeff....do you want a lap dance?" Candy's demeanor was bubbly, and she was strikingly-beautiful. Her blue eyes pierced into me as she awaited a response. Meeting her gaze, I gave her offer no small amount of consideration. Something in my gut told me "no", however. I knew by now to listen to my gut.
"No thank you. I just got here, and I'm trying to make the night last." It was the best excuse I could come up with that wouldn't hurt her feelings, but it was also honest.
"Okay! Let me know when you're ready!" Candy rose from her chair enthusiastically, pivoted to face the next-nearest patron, and bounded off. I studied her as she walked away, noting that her thong left little to the imagination as it disappeared between two sensational ass-cheeks.
I turned my gaze towards the stage commanding the lobby and watched a beautiful latina leaning back against the pole and gyrating her hips. Enjoying the beautiful sight, I pursed my lips and readied myself for another sip.
"Hi handsome!"
Slightly irritated at another interruption so soon, I turned to face the source of the angelic voice. The source was a beautiful redhead sitting down in the same chair Candy had just occupied.
"Hi."
"Well handsome, I'm Ruby. Would you like a dance?"
"Two's a trend..." I reflected. "The girls here get right down to business with their dances..."
Using the same play from before, I courteously apologized and told her that I'm hoping to make the night last. As before, Ruby responded by bounding off to find the nearest patron. Ruby was taller and thinner than Candy, but I similarly drank in her the sight of her as she strode away. There was just something inexplicably artistic about thong-clad women confidently striding away.
At some point in my conversation with Ruby, the latina on stage had removed her top. With Ruby's striding form now out of sight, my eyes instinctively zeroed in on the first pair of breasts I'd seen in over a year - and what a sight they were. The girl's tits were caramel in color and tear-drop in shape - absolutely perfect. With her top off, I could clearly see large, dark-brown areolas. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of them even as I took a sip of my beer to calm the nerves.
"She's fucking hot, right?" Another woman's voice sliced through the air as soon as I'd set my beer down.
Trying to hide my irritation, I turned towards what was already the third voice of the night and found a girl that was a night-and-day contrast to Ruby. Studying her, I realized that to call her a girl may not have been exactly correct. The woman sitting next to me was a very-tone, very-fit woman in mid-to-late 20's. Her skin was of the darkest tone I'd ever seen, and she wore a matching neon-blue outfit that strikingly contrasted against its ebony hue. It was completed by a skirt so short that her thong could clearly be seen peeking out from beneath.
"Yeah, she's really sexy."
"Her name is Veronica. She's one of my favorite girls to watch." Unlike the strippers before her, this woman didn't seem hellbent on a lap dance. In fact, she simply sat in the chair next to me with one leg rested on the other's knee. Seeming almost uninterested in me, she intently watched the dancer on stage teasingly remove her bottom.
Sipping another drink of my beer, my eyes turned back and fixated on the latina as her bottom slid off. It was the first pussy I'd seen in over a year - and what a sight it was. Strangely, I found that the girl's tan lines accentuated her cleanly-shaven pussy. My heart began to beat, and a flush crept up my neck.
