I can't believe I lost; lost a stupid bet. It was all so simple, or was supposed to be. I kept telling myself she must have cheated, even if I didn't believe it. Now it was time to "pay up". I wrap my arms more tightly around my waist feeling sick to my stomach as I look at the neon lights of the strip club, trying to remember what had prompted the bet in the first place. Unable to remember I stand up straight, throw back my shoulders, tell myself I was NEVER drinking again and marched through the doors of the club with far more confidence than I felt.
The smoky room is dark, neon lights all around, music blasting from the speakers overhead. A long stage divides the room into two sections. The left containing seats and tables, the right side containing pool tables and other games. Both are filled with people; correction, as I look closer, men. All sizes and shapes of men, ages varying as much as looks. I think to myself "I can't do this". I close my eyes and take a deep breath. When I open them I give a little squeal of surprise. A man stands in front of me. I look again, not a man, a giant. Well over six and a half feet and built like a linebacker, he explains he is the bouncer and will be watching out for me. I feel a little quiver of panic, wondering why I need someone to watch out for me, wondering how bad the crowd will get.
As we start to walk across the room I get the sensation that I am being followed. I cautiously peer around the club, and then I see you; sitting in the shadows, looking completely at ease and slightly bored. I see your eyes follow me, looking up and down. I think to myself, "Now here is a bad boy I wouldn't mind handling." Your snug jeans, black leather jacket, motorcycle helmet lying on the table beside you, all combine to create quite a persona.
As I continue to walk to the back, you raise your hand and wave the bouncer over. He excuses himself from me and I see him walk over and start conversing with you. He shakes his head and you gesture towards me. Finally he shrugs his shoulders, walks over and says "How would you like to repay this bet for one instead of sixty?" I look over at you and you wink. I look around at the room, the men with their eyes glued to the stage, drinks in their hands, and nod. You pick up your jacket and helmet, and disappear towards the back of the stage.
Nervously, and yet at the same time relieved, I make my way to the back and down a small hallway; watching you walking confidently in front of me. Music blares out of speakers, the lighting dim. We pass several closed doors until we get to the end of the hallway. The bouncer gestures to a door to my right and I open it and enter. I stop, a little startled. It looks just like someone's living room. A television and stereo unit sit in one corner, a buttery soft leather couch and chair, two end tables with lamps. The only compromise to the living room effect is a small bar in the opposite corner from the television. The bouncer tells me to make myself comfortable, and, as I give a nervous laugh at that, he closes the door and walks out.
I feel myself pacing the room, unable to sit still, repeatedly asking myself "What am I doing here?" "How did I get here?" "Can I go through with it?" As my mind is flooded with doubts and I pace across the room, there is a small knock on the door. You open the door and walk in. My breath catches in my throat. I can do nothing but stare at the way your jeans hug your ass, your t-shirt outlines your chest and arms. You toss your jacket and helmet on the couch and sit down in the chair.
Subconsciously I lick my lips bringing your gaze to my face. You smile, and for reasons unknown to me, I relax. You settle yourself in the chair looking totally relaxed, but never take your eyes off me. I walk over and turn on the stereo, tuning it to a station that I like, and to a volume that creates a soft background of sound.
Realizing I still have on my trench coat, I open the tie and throw my shoulders back, dropping it down my arms, catching it with my hands. I turn and hang it on a hook on the back of the door. I hear you swear softly behind me, and I come to the realization that you are expressing either your like or dislike of my outfit. Turning and looking at your face, a slight smile moves over my mouth, having concluded that I had made a good choice - thigh high boots, black garters peeking over the top, short black mini skirt (as my friend calls it "my barely there" skirt), black lace "peek-a-boo" shirt and a small black satin choker around my neck. I watch your eyes move over my body, taking in every detail, feeling the desire in your gaze heating my skin as it lingers. You let out a low whistle of appreciation causing me to blush furiously.
I take a moment to explain I've never done anything like this before but also that I am not one to back down from a challenge or renege on a debt due; I was going to go through with it. You nod and tell me to take my time, and not to do anything that will make me feel uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath I walk to stand in front of your chair, uncertain how to begin, wishing I'd stayed in the club longer to witness some of the girls on stage, I take another deep breath and look around the room. A picture comes into my head of home. I'm in a living room, "That's it" I say to myself. "I'll just pretend I'm at home." With a small smile I concentrate on the music and start to dance. I open my eyes briefly and walk to the stereo and turn the volume up. Music pulses in the room. I close my eyes again and dance, hips swaying to the beat, arms above my head. I can continue to feel your eyes on me, hot, watching.
Dancing over towards the couch as I feel the music heat my blood as the feeling of hands caressing my skin comes over me. I slide my hands over my thighs as I continue to sway to the music, knees flexing, hips moving back and forth. Moving my hands slowly upward over the soft leather of my skirt, my hips, continuing upward, now feeling the soft lace at my stomach, up, up, until they slowly slide over my breasts. I pause there, as my hips continue to sway back and forth my hands gently squeeze my breasts, running my thumbs back and forth over my nipples, feeling them harden. My head falls back and a soft moan escapes my lips.
Opening my eyes I walk over to the edge of the couch and lift up my right leg. Keeping my leg straight I bend over slightly at the waist and slowly lower the zipper of my boot. I can feel the heat from your eyes burning into me. I drop my foot and kick off the boot. Lifting my left leg, I bend over again, a little lower this time, causing my skirt to ride up higher on the backs of my thighs. I hear a small hitch in your breathing. Slowly I slide the zipper down, and putting my foot down on the floor, kick off that boot as well.
Turning to look at you I slide my fingertips up over my thighs, fingering the lace on the top of my white stockings. Walking closer I lift my right foot and place it between your legs on the chair, I gently push my foot against your erection. Bending over at the waist again, I slip my garter a little higher on my thigh, nudging my skirt up along with it. Wiggling my foot back and forth across your pants I slide my hands down either side of my leg, rolling my stocking down as I go, over my thigh, past my knee, slowly down my calf to my ankle, lifting my foot slightly I pull it off my foot and place my foot back down on the floor, then lean in to drape the stocking around your neck.
