The dancer's thong-clad ass gyrated in front of Ben's eyes. Leaning in, he could smell the too-strong reek of her perfume, overpowering the stench of cigarettes and stale beer. The only smell that competed with the cheap perfumes the dancers doused themselves with was the rutting smell of testosterone oozing out of male pores. Ben removed a five-dollar bill from his pocket, creasing it long-wise down the middle and waving it at the nearly nude woman.
The dancer stood, facing away from him, her long legs firm and muscled beneath tanned skin. Placing her hands on the floor in front of her, she brushed her long hair on the floor while staring between her calves, directly into Ben's eyes. Ben assumed the stare was intended to be direct and alluring, but he saw the distant coldness behind her dilated pupils, and felt he was staring into the blank eyes of a doll. After bouncing her shapely ass a few times, the stripper pivoted, kneeling in front of Ben. She reached out her hands, linking her fingers behind his neck and drawing him forward into her chest. In a practiced move, she placed his nose squarely on her breastbone, then pressed her large round mammaries against his cheeks. After a moments pressure from the smooth warm skin, she released his face from its fragrant prison, allowing him to sit back into his chair. Smiling, she arched back, one slender hand lifting the Spandex fabric of her tiny underwear.
Ben carefully tucked the bill underneath the lifted fabric, sliding his fingers down into the crease of her hip. The backs of his fingers brushed the smooth skin covering the mound of her pubis. He felt the dancer's belly tense as he reached too far towards the folds of her vagina, and slowly began to draw his fingers out. He felt the bristling hair of her not-too-recently-shaved pubis poke into the skin on the backs of his fingers. Ben leaned in again, raising his voice over the deafening music and calling out to the dancer, "Two words baby, wax it, wax it!"
The dancer moved away on the elevated dance floor, and Ben saw her mouth the word "asshole." Ben chuckled and glanced towards the door. His friend Daniel was just entering, spreading his arms as the bouncer waved a metal-detecting wand along his limbs and torso. Ben waved at Daniel, then turned back to watch a new dancer step onto the stage, shedding a sheer robe and her bra top as she began to wiggle her hips to the beat of the next song.
"Ben, what the hell are we doing here? Your wife would freak if she knew we were in this place!" Daniel sat heavily into the chair next to Ben's, a small table between them.
Ben waved at the table, "I got you a beer, and don't worry about Margaret; she's out of town. What she doesn't know won't hurt her."
"So what, we're gonna sit here all night and stick our money in these girls' underwear?" Daniel took a sip of his beer and frowned at Ben. "No offense or anything, but what's the point? After five minutes, you've seen enough sets of tits and ass that they all start to look alike."
"No, the night just starts here, to get us in the mood. Since Margaret's out of town, I'm on the hunt for some strange!"
"What this isn't strange enough for you? Bunch of girls grinding their tits in your face? You want to go to the Rocky Horror Picture Show or something?"
"No, I need some strange; Margaret's the only inkwell I've dipped my pen in for five years. I'm looking for something new tonight, to put a little more lead in my pencil."
"You're mixing your metaphors Ben, but I'll come along for the ride I guess."
