By 10 PM Kerry had given up on getting a phone call, email or text from her husband that night, other than possibly receiving a rambling drunk text sometime after midnight. She knew by now how the vacation Tony and a group of his high school friends took every summer would be going. Every year he and his buddies picked out a different city with a major league baseball team to visit, seeing 4 or 5 games in a week-long beerfest. From the handful of details she had overheard they all typically slept till noon or later, hit a bar near the stadium in the afternoon, kept their buzz going through the game and relived the highlights of the game as best they could remember them over several more beers. She was pretty sure the evening drinking sessions usually ended up in some strip club.
Kerry didn't really know any of Tony's traveling companions very well since she and Tony lived halfway across the country from where most of them lived and these trips were the only times they actually got together; she thought they were harmless enough but wasn't thrilled to have her husband drunk and leering at strippers for a week every summer.
Her annoyance at this year's trip went through the roof when her phone's chime alerted her to an incoming text long after midnight; she squinted at the clock on her nightstand.
"3:48! What the hell, Tony, you know I have to work in the morning!" she groaned before picking it up just in case he was actually in some trouble.
He wasn't in trouble before she saw the text but definitely was after. The text was not from Tony but came from one of his companions, Max, who apparently thought it would be funny to send her a photo of Tony with a huge grin on his face and a nearly naked stripper on his lap. Her first instinct was to call Tony right then and rip into him, but she decided to wait until morning to give herself time to calm down and him time to sober up.
Kerry overslept and had to scramble just to get to work on time, so she put off her call to Tony. By the time she had a free moment to make the call she was thinking of and rejecting various ways to react. She considered a sex boycott but realized that she'd be punishing herself along with Tony. Posting the photo on social media would embarrass her and he might actually enjoy that anyway!
There was one oddball idea she hadn't been able to dismiss. She thought it might make Tony consider his lack of respect for both her and the woman wiggling on his lap in the photo if she sent him a similar photo featuring his wife on some random guy's lap! Since the lap dancing babe had on at least some minimal lingerie Kerry figured her version could feature a relatively modest bra and panty set. She liked the idea well enough to spend most of her lunch hour searching online for a strip club to serve as the setting for a photo session. Eventually, she found one a little over an hour away, far enough from their home to minimize her chances of running into anyone she knew.
That night after work she headed home for a quick dinner before getting ready for her photos. She picked out a fairly conservative maroon bra and matching panties and touched up her makeup to look a little more dramatic. She put the skirt and blouse she'd just taken off back on since the underwear was really the point tonight. She set off for her choice of venue, a club named The Doll Haus. Besides being far enough away, the photos on its website made it look like a reasonably clean establishment.
The bouncer at the door raised one eyebrow when Kerry asked to see the manager, but pointed to a few guys behind the bar, saying, "You want to talk to Nick, he's the one in the black shirt." before going back to watching a video on his phone; her plan to arrive before the place got too busy seemed to have worked out okay, she only saw a handful of guys seated at the stage and a couple more at the bar.
Once she had Nick's attention she explained the reason for her visit: "I'm just looking to have a few pictures taken of me in my underwear sitting on some guy's lap with the stage in the background. It's sort of a gift for my husband."
"We're pretty strict here about not permitting photography, but if you can get permission from everybody who'll be visible in the background I'll permit it," he answered, "Unfortunately my liability insurance policy only allows employees to do lap dances, if you somehow fell and were injured I'd be screwed, so you'll have to accept a token payment of $5 to establish your status as an employee and dance on the stage for a couple of songs before you can have your photo shoot."
Kerry had half expected some sort of resistance to her request but definitely hadn't expected this. She had stripped for Tony several times and loved the effect it had on him; the sex afterward was great every time. He insisted she could do it for a living if she wanted to and would easily double what she earned as a receptionist at a small engineering firm. Doing what Nick was asking her to was a whole other thing; she'd enjoyed performing for Tony for the feeling it gave her as well as how much he appreciated it but never really considered stripping for anything but a one-man audience.
Still, the idea was giving her a warm tingly feeling; she offered Nick a compromise.
"I'll dance for two songs, but only down to my bra and panties since that's how I want to be dressed in my photos." The idea of even going that far gave her butterflies, but she told herself that since she'd have to undress that far anyway for the photos it really didn't make a difference where it happened.
"It's a deal," said Nick, handing her a $5 bill.
"Welcome aboard, you can go on right after Wendy over there is done with her set."
"Right now, so soon?" Kerry gulped.
"I got the impression you'd like to get this over with before the place gets crowded, but if you'd rather wait till later that's fine too."
"No, you're right, I'll go on as soon as Wendy is finished," Kerry said.
Nick pointed out the DJ, telling Kerry to let him know what songs she wanted to dance to and how to introduce her, then volunteered to talk to the men alongside the stage to get their permission to be in the background of Kerry's photos.
The sudden change in Kerry's plans hadn't left her much time to think about what she was about to do; once she'd finished with the DJ she had a moment to consider her new plan. Even a partial striptease like she was about to do was way more than she'd set out to do; she was way beyond nervous but also found herself starting to imagine the small crowd getting as excited as Tony had every time she danced for him. Thinking about their arousal was starting to build her own.
Standing behind a curtain at the back corner of the stage she let out a tiny gasp when the DJ addressed the crowd: "Please give a big Doll Haus welcome to our newest dancer, Elise!" she shook a little as she heard the saxophone opening to her first song, "Smooth Operator" by Sade, her cue to begin her striptease.
Knowing she had almost 8 minutes to fill before her two songs were finished and only planning on taking off two garments, Kerry took her time slowly strutting all around the stage, pausing to turn and shake her ass at the few guys sitting at the stage. Roughly halfway through the song, she stopped near the middle of the stage and ran her fingers through her hair.
Then ran her hands down over her shoulders.
Then over her breasts, pausing briefly to tweak her nipples through her blouse and bra.
Then down over her belly.
Then behind her to massage her ass.
Then, while one finger tugged gently at her lower lip as if deciding whether to continue, her other hand popped open the button at her skirt's zipper.
