I had been working with Sondra for almost 8 years. I manage a professional services group in upstate NY, Sondra had been assigned to me as a business analyst, tracking our financials and keeping us out of âcontract â jail. Sondra is a petite sandy haired blond. She has an innocent sexiness yet keeps herself a little distant from everyone at work. Although we worked very closely at times, she always kept a professional demeanor. Last summer, our company ordered some mandatory education for all of our consultants. This meant Sondra and I had to deliver a 3-day class to the people in my group who were spread out across New York State. We picked our office in an upstate NY city as the place we would have the class, and agreed to drive up together. We were also staying at the same hotel, figuring that this would give us a chance to change any of the course materials if we had to during the week.
We drove up early on a Monday morning and spent the day getting the classroom and materials ready for Tuesday. We finished up just before 7 PM, and decided to get dinner before going back to the hotel. We wound up in a TGIFâs , and sat at a window seat. Our conversation was mostly about the class, with a little gossip about some of the more colorful characters in our group. There were some periods of that âawkward silenceâ, where we just had nothing to say.
After one of these periods, Sondra said to me; âLook at that sign across the street. Do you think they really give that much money away?â From where I was sitting, I had to turn and look over my left shoulder to see what she was looking at. Across the street from us was a strip club, with a marquis sign proclaiming that tonight was amateur night. It also said that there was a $2,000 grand prize for the winner. âI guess that the money flows in that businessâ, I said. She didnât respond, and I really didnât think too much of it.
After dinner, as we got in the car, she said to me; âHave you ever been in a strip club?â It seemed like a loaded question, so I lied. âYears ago, on a business trip, but not in a long time. How about you?â In reality, I visit a local club around twice a month. âNeverâ, she said, âBut Iâve watched that series on HBO and found it interesting. Would you be upset if I asked you to go in there with me? Iâm just curious and would never do this near where I live.â To say I was shocked would put it mildly, so I drove across the street as quickly as I could before she could change her mind.
As we entered the club, it was a little past 8PM and was starting to fill up. The contest didnât start till 9PM, so there were just the working girls performing on two separate stages. One was a platform that jutted out from a side wall. It was about four feet high and had a small drink shelf around the edge with seats all around. The other stage was a square setup in the middle of the floor, with seats all around. There were chairs and tables all along the outside wall, and a VIP area off to one corner. One girl was on the platform and had just started, so she was still in a bikini. The other girl was already one song into her set, and was completely nude. We took two seats on the outside wall and watched the action.
The girl on the center stage was a tall brunette with slim build and long legs. She was sitting on the edge of the drink rail with her feet on the thighs of one of the patrons and her legs spread wide open. Sondra was a little shocked to say the least. âI thought that strip joints were just topless!â âNot in New Yorkâ, I said. I explained that if you didnât serve liquor, you could have totally nude dancing. She was amazed. She didnât talk much, and I wasnât really sure what to say. I was uncomfortable yet turned on being there with her.
She was even more amazed at the lap dance practice. Several of the girls were working the crowd for VIP lounge opportunities, offering dollar dances as enticement. Most of them were topless, and it was evident watching the VIP area that the dances back there were totally nude. She asked me what I thought of all of this. âIf I said I didnât turn me on Iâd be lyingâ, I said. As I was saying this, the DJ announced that the amateur contest would start in 15 minutes. The contest would consist of two dances per contestant, one on each stage. The contestants would have about an hour between dances, during which they could follow the same lap dance practice as the proâs and could use the VIP lounge. The only caveat there was that the house got the money for the VIP dances and the amateurs got to keep the tips.
The DJ then asked all of the girls who wanted to participate to come up to the DJ booth to sign in. 5 girls got up and headed over. Two just looked like proâs. They were by themselves and did not look nervous at all. Two others were together and seemed giggly so I guessed that they were out trying a ânewâ experience. The fifth girl was with her boyfriend, and she seemed nervous but enthusiastic. As we watched them go up, I mentioned that it would take some guts to do this. âWould you be disappointed in me if I tried it?â she asked. I was shocked. Sondra is such a âgirl next doorâ type that I would have never expected this. I was amazed that we were even sitting here, but had chalked that up to wanting to see if what she saw on HBO was true. She always dressed simply in conservative clothes, never gossiped, never participated in some of the crude office conversation that would occur. I just couldnât believe young, sweet Sondra would want to do this. âNoâ, I said. âBut are you really sure?â âIâve always done everything Iâm supposed to doâ, she said. âIâm about to turn 30 and I just need to do something wild.â âWell, this would certainly fit that descriptionâ I told her. She quickly got up and headed over to the booth. She was dressed in classy suit consisting of skirt, fitted jacket and blouse, with panty hose and high heals. Many eyes followed her over because she just didnât look the part.
After spending about 5 minutes at the DJ booth, she came back over and sat down. âIâm number twoâ, she told me. âI have to go into the dressing room right after the first girl starts. Each dance is 3 songs long. After my first dance, I have 30 minutes till the second dance on the square stage. They said that we can do lap dances between our first and second dance, and then after our second dance until the contest is over. Iâm not too sure I want to do that.â âHey, you do whatever your comfortable withâ, I told her. She was real quiet, but smiled at me every time I looked at her. I still did not really know how to react. I kept wondering over and over was she doing this for my benefit (big ego), or was this just some wild streak she needed to exercise and she felt safe with me and with doing it far from home.
A few minutes later the DJ announced that the contest would begin shortly and asked the first girl to report to the dressing room. One of the girls from the 2 girl pair headed up. She was a very small brunette, dressed in shorts and a halter. She kept laughing and looking back at her friend as she headed towards the door. She had a small duffle bag over her shoulder. It then struck me that all of these other girls came with a change of clothes, but Sondra just had the clothes she wore. She had no costume. I asked her what she was going to wear, and she said she wasnât too concerned about it because, whatever it was, she wouldnât be wearing it for too long. I couldnât argue the point.
When the first girl came out, Sondra headed for the dressing room. She turned and gave me a nervous smile as she disappeared behind the door. The music started as the first girl hit the raised stage. She had changed into a negligee, which left little to the imagination. She was a tiny thing, with small tits but a real cute butt. During her first song, she left the negligee on and just danced around rather quickly. You could tell that she was new to this. After the first song, she slowly removed her top, revealing what we already knew, that her chest was in the minus A category. About half way through the second song, she just stopped and removed her panties. She was completely shaven below, and although she had a rather plain figure, she did have good moves. She got a little closer to the guys at the rail and gave some good bend-over views. At the same time, I was watching the door to the dressing room to see if Sondra had come out yet. I still didnât really believe she would go through with it.
As the third song was coming to a close, Sondra came out of the dressing room. She still had the same clothes on, but the pantyhose were gone. She stood by the door with her arms folded, looking around at the crowd and the girl on stage, but not looking at me. I was tempted to get up and sit at the rail, but I thought that it might make her too uncomfortable up there, so I stayed put. The third song finished, and the brunette left the stage to some good applause. The DJ announced Sondraâs name, and up on stage she went.
