Chapter 17
The next call was to the manager of the Medieval Club. Joe wanted to check with the manager that the show was a hit. The manager said that, yes, indeed, the show was a hit, but the penalty of backing out of the first show still needed to be paid. That penalty was a one-hour session with Jessa as the live mannequin in the "Sinful" display window. The show was a follow-up to the bondage show. They needed Jessa to demonstrate some of their bondage line and the show needed to be done during the next few days.
As far as the show goes, everybody was raving and wanted more. Several members of the management Council were in the audience and they wanted more of this kind of show. They were demanding to know who that the fabulous actress was and they wanted to do more with her. Joe had told them from the beginning that this was a one-shot deal and they better enjoy the feedback from the show because he wasn't telling who she was.
Joe thanked him and crawled back into bed wrapping Jessa in his arms. In her sleep she preened against him and Joe started wondering how badly he had messed up. He had hoped this would give Jessa a chance to become the lead dancer that she wanted to be, now it looked like she was going to get that chance.
Jessa had the show at the Aladdin Room in two days' time and this was her big chance. Joe hoped they could hang on and get through her show.
*****
Jessa had butterflies every day about the show at the Aladdin Room. She was afraid that she would not do well in the show. She had been practicing at least a couple of hours every night and from the parts that Joe got to see, there shouldn't be any soft man parts anywhere in the audience. While Joe was constantly mesmerized by Jessa's incredible poise, grace and beauty, Jessa only saw her flaws. As a result, she constantly worked to improve all of her perceived imperfections.
She was worried her skin would not be lustrous enough or polished and slick enough for the veils to slide the way she wants them. So each night Joe helped her rub a combination of moisturizers and oils into her skin. She had also been taking tanning sessions every day since she applied for the job, so that her skin will have a nice golden hue all over. Her normal two hour body sculpting sessions in the gym had moved up to three and sometimes even four hours.
Every morning she would inspect herself for a blemish in her skin or an ounce of fat in the wrong place, but all Joe ever saw was perfection. All the effort made Jessa even more stunning than she already was and that's saying something. With her golden skin polished, glistening, and oh, so silky soft, stretched over her lithe, toned body, she was a dazzling dream personified. While Joe found her to be perfect, every day she found a flaw that she needed to worked on.
Jessa couldn't believe how her life had changed since she met Joe. She had worked all her life trying to get a starring role as a featured dancer. Growing up, her entire life revolved around ballet or modern dance lessons and at an early age she had been given the taste of being a featured dancer. However, when she blossomed all of that seemed to go away. At dance auditions she was either too short, her breasts were too large, or there were thousands of other excuses for not getting the role.
In order to earn a living she started nude modeling and stripping. All of the flaws that kept her from being a lead dancer were suddenly an asset in this world. However, she still hung on to her dream of one day being a featured dancer. Now thanks to Joe she was getting her chance. Joe wasn't just a chance for a featured dancer job, he was also her chance at love. She found more and more that she craved the role of Joe's lover more than a featured dancer.
Joe helped her every night with her dance of the seven veils. She had done extensive research and found that the dance was really subject to interpretation. There was no choreographed dance. There were the Hollywood versions, the stripper versions and even a biblical version, but none was the official dance of the seven veils. So, Jessa took the most erotic and sensual versions and made up her own dance.
As Joe helped her refine her dance, they turned the dance into an elegant yet seductive masterpiece. There were elements of ballet combined with several sensuous stripper moves. It was indeed a dance like no other and only someone like Jessa could put all this together. Someone that was trained in classical ballet, schooled in modern dance and had grown up as a stripper, could put this dance together. As he saw her creating this dancing masterpiece, he wondered what the reaction of the crowd would be.
Jessa's whole dancing career was riding on this one break. She hoped that this would be her breakout dance and everyone would be so mesmerized that her career would take off. However, as the time drew closer to her dance, she just thought of a life with Joe. Her career had been everything, even during her previous marriage, but now on the verge of her big break she only thought of Joe. Strange that when she finally got what she wanted, she realized something else was more important. Joe had been nothing if not supportive and every day he demonstrated that her happiness was the most important thing to him. That fact made her want him even more.
