Fleur DeLisle was feeling an unfamiliar emotion.
She was nervous. She couldn't recall ever feeling quite this way in all of her life. It verged on a near-fear and she wasn't quite sure how she should handle it.
Her life, up to this point, had been a series of adventures and challenges. Fleur had met all of them head on and she had triumphed. Very little blocked her success because Fleur was not a young woman who was afraid to take a risk or risks. She was the kind of girl who did most anything she had to do so that she could make a success of her life and achieve her goals. Yet despite all of that, she was afraid of her latest challenge and was feeling butterflies for the first time in memory.
Fleur tried to distract herself. She had been content with one look for too long, so she went to her stylist and changed her hair. Her locks had been growing for months and were now almost to her delicious and saucy
derriere
so she had Alana cut them to the middle of her back. Then again, continuing to be her own unique self, she had her friend dye them a cotton candy pink. After that, she went shopping for a bit of lingerie that would suit her "candy" theme. As always, Fleur intended that her shows continue to be provocative and delight her fans of both sexes. Now she was even getting requests from women for private shows and dances. Sometimes she accommodated the women, enjoying the power her nude body held over these women. Several of her admirers tipped her nicely and many claimed that they were "straight and had never before felt this way". Fleur nodded with an understanding smile. Only until recently had she thought herself straight. It wasn't true and it wasn't true for her female fans either. Why did they strive so hard to deny something that was so true?
"You look great" was the comment she heard from Dyan, Steve and from Anton. To a one, all of them admired her new look and noticed the ensemble she had put together for her new show. Fleur could not help but notice the fact once she and Dyan had buried the hatchet; Anton's wife was becoming comfortable in her presence. She knew little about the older woman, although she did notice Dyan's looks from time to time. Had Dyan ever been with a woman? Did she desire them at all, Fleur in particular? Would Fleur herself ever be so bold as to make the first move and lure Dyan into her bed? The idea did give her a vicarious little thrill and she promised to give it some further thought.
Contemplating the seduction of another woman gave Fleur erotic tingles. So far, Mary had seduced her and with Shelby, it had been mutual. Were she to make Dyan into her lover, it would be the first instance of Fleur being the aggressor. She had come so far and was proud of her progress. She wanted to continue on in her role as a sexual explorer.
So why was she being so timid when it came to achieving something she wanted, namely, having both Mary and Shelby in her bed at the same time? It was foolish, really. She knew that they would both adore each other and look incredible having sex. It would be a visual panorama and something Fleur would have etched in her brain for a long time to come. Yet it continued to give her pause and it took her some time to realize just why the idea caused her so much angst.
For the first time in her life, Fleur was afraid that she might not be able to keep up. That once she got into bed with the two alluring vixens, her own sexual abilities might come up wanting.
Fleur knew on one hand, she was being ridiculous. No one had ever left her bed unsatisfied. Sex came as natural to her as breathing and she reveled in it. Were she the type of person to use labels, she might well have called herself a nymphomaniac. If offered Dom Perignon or sex, Fleur would have chosen sex every time. Aside from her pursuit of fame and fortune, sex topped the list.
Still, when it came to girl-girl games, Fleur was a sophomore. One who would likely quickly leap the queue to the senior class, but still on the learning curve. Mary and Shelby were big-league players. Fleur decided that she needed a little more confidence before she let herself go for broke. She and Shelby were still sleeping together - when they slept - and Mary also was part of her life. Everything would happen when the time was right.
With her birthday fast approaching (her 19th although she still added a year to appease her employers) Fleur knew she had to continue on with her plans to establish herself. She was earning a nice living at Club Paradisio and she had made new friends. Her life was devoid of drama and if she needed a solid fuck, she had Steve waiting in the wings. He was the kind of fuckbuddy a girl like Fleur needed, solid and reliable and willing to let her call the shots. If Steve was her choice of lover for the night, Fleur always insured that he went home on wobbly legs.
Fleur knew that she had to arrange some more things to allow her career to progress. Steve was always willing to let her pick his brain, so she went to him to do just that.
Steve smiled happily when he saw Fleur approaching the DJ booth. He hoped that she was going to ask him to hook up tonight. He missed her all the time they didn't spend together. His hopes were raised when she took his face in her hands and planted a sensual kiss on his lips. No one knew how to kiss quite the way that Fleur did.
"I need some publicity shots taken," Fleur said softly as she dashed Steve's hopes for a liaison into the ground. "Do you know anyone that you might be willing to recommend who won't cost me an arm and a leg?"
