This is a one-off story, inspired by a reader following some comments on one of my previous stories (BDSM Manor 8).
It's not a BDSM story, which is why it's here. To my commenter who made this suggestion. You're welcome and enjoy.

Tony pulled on some old shorts and a tee. It was unseasonably hot for June.
As he turned, the only other person in the room had also finished changing and was ready to go.
"Excited?"
Tony let out a breath, "Nervous."
Wally moved forward and gave him a quick hug. He was in his late-forties and had been dancing for over forty years. He had also danced in more of these routines than any other person.
"You'll be great. Promotion to lead dancer is a big deal."
"Does it count as a promotion if you're not getting paid?" Tony joked, but then stopped and gripped Wally's arm.
"You've danced with me before Wally. Do you think I can do this?"
Wally stopped, looking at Tony seriously, "You're one of the most talented dancers I've ever worked with," he said, "I have no doubt you'll be amazing."
Tony blushed slightly, "That means a lot coming from you, Wally."
"And," Wally continued, wrapping an arm around Tony's shoulders and leading him towards the rehearsal room, "you will be delighted to hear that the air-con is broken."
"Oh great," Tony muttered as they joined the rest of the dancers working on this routine.
Tony greeted people and waved 'Hi' to others, and then stopped short as he turned and saw Ty leaning against a wall watching him across the room.
Tony's skin prickled. It was more like being touched than watched. Ty's dark eyes seemed to possess him.
Someone called him and with some relief he turned away to get some updated instructions.

Three hours later the room was ripe with honest sweat, hard dancing, and intense concentration.
The windows thrown open to encourage the non-existent breeze. Where was Madame Morrible when you needed her?
Tony wiped sweat from his eyes and tried to focus as they were given new directions.
"Dylan," the choreographer, Mark, indicated one of the dancers, grouped closely around Tony. "When you run your hand down his chest, can you actually slip under and cup him? We want a really obvious touch. This isn't a cheeky routine, it's a dark and dirty one."
Tony snorted out a laugh as a look of absolute horror crossed Dylan's face, "You know I'm straight right?"
"It's okay Dylan," Ty drawled, "we won't tell your wife."
"Gee, thanks," Dylan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Now, how can I stop her from coming to see the show?"
Then he laughed and reached for Tony, "Kinda like this?" he looked questioningly at Tony to make sure he was happy, and then began running his hand down Tony's damp T-shirt.
Tony braced, but as Dylan's hand slipped gently under his balls, he was helpless.
He giggled, as his knees buckled. Gripping the arm of another dancer who had grabbed him around the waist to stop him falling, he steadied himself and apologized.
"Sorry, sorry, thanks for the catch."
"Oh, you're not ticklish?"
Tony shrugged, "A little!"
Dylan gave Mark a 'what now?' look.
"Try it firmer," he instructed, "and Tony, I want you to thrust into his hand when he cups you. Like you don't want to but can't help yourself."
Tony nodded and Dylan ran his hand back down and then, as he was cupped firmly and confidently, Tony thrust himself forward.
This routine really was going to be filth, but at least it didn't tickle anymore.
"Do it again," Mark instructed, and watched closely as they did it again.
"Okay," he looked at them both, "are you both comfortable with that?"
Dylan shrugged, "As long as Tony's okay with it."
"Yea, it's fine with that amount of pressure," Tony confirmed.
Mark nodded, "Alright. Remember it. You're both professionals. For now Dylan, just mime the movement without making contact. You can save the actual groping for the big night."
Dylan gave a thumbs up, "Happy with that, Boss."
"Okay, let's go again, from the start," he clapped his hands together, "let's see if we can sweat another ten pounds off you all!" Mark called for the music and off they went again.
And again!
By lunchtime no one was wearing more clothing than they had to. The wet tops had been unbearable, so everyone was stripped to the waist.
Tony registered the pat on his ass. On the night it would be a slap.
In fact, Winston, who towered over Tony, had ominously told him, "You're gonna get it so good!" Before reverting to his normal self, "Only kidding sweetie, I'll take care of that cute little tush."
Tony smiled inwardly as he fell back into waiting arms. Winston made him laugh; if flirting was an Olympic sport, he would sweep the board.
Right now he had hands on his butt, his thighs. Legs, back, stomach, neck. At this point it was like being in an erotic car wash.
He felt Dylan's hand touch his chest, and imaged the mimed journey down his body, thrusting his hips forward at the appropriate moment.
Then he felt a surge of irritation.
The squeeze of his butt, and the lips trailing down his chest he could cope with, they were part of the routine.
Ty's tongue flicking over his nipple was not.
'Bastard!' he thought as he felt himself twitch in response.
Tony managed to free himself, and casting a quick dirty look at Ty, made a bid to escape.
He was quickly caught and that was pretty much game over for his character.
Everyone stood, dripping, and breathing hard as the music died away and Mark stood, scribbling in a notebook.
Then he looked up and smiled, "You are all amazing, it's looking great. Thank you, so much, now don't you people have jobs to get to?"
With happy yelling there was a mad dash for the showers. Most people did have matinees that afternoon. The few that didn't hung back to let those on a time limit go first.

Less than twenty minutes later, as Tony walked out, he saw Ty ahead of him.
Irritated all over again, he grabbed Ty's arm and swung him into what turned out to be a closet sized storage space.
He slammed on the light and flinched slightly as what appeared to be a Hyena head loomed out of the darkness.
He turned and looked at Ty who was leaning nonchalantly against the wall, grinning at him.
"You need to cut that shit out," Tony demanded in a low voice.
"What?" Ty asked, trying to look innocent.
"You know what."
"I'm just teasing you, lighten up," Ty suggested.
"I'm not a fucking sex toy," Tony protested, but he could feel a tickle in his throat.
Ty just grinned and let his gaze wander down Tony's body.
Tony gave up and laughed, "Ty, I can't dance with a raging hardon!"
"So don't get a hardon."
Tony threw up his hands and made an exasperated sound.
Taking his eyes from Ty proved to be a mistake as in a sudden predatory move, Ty spun him around and against the wall.
Tony tried to protest, but Ty's tongue invaded his mouth and laid siege, even as his hand slipped into Tony's shorts and gripped him.
"Oh, Fuck!" Tony muttered into Ty's mouth as his cock got a good hard squeeze.
Then his noises were muffled as Ty started to stroke him, fast and rough.
"I'm gonna be late for work," Tony managed when Ty's mouth moved to his neck.
"Yea, me too!" Ty bit gently, "You want me to stop?"
In answer, Tony gripped Ty's hair in both hands and reclaimed his mouth, thrusting fast into Ty's hot fist.
They kissed frantically, gasping into each other's mouths, until Tony's grip went suddenly weak and he flooded over Ty's hand.
Ty smothered Tony's cry with his mouth and then slowly gentled the kisses, from hot to sweet. Calming and soothing him.
Finally, their lips unlocked.
"Okay? Are you steady?" Ty asked.
Tony swallowed and cleared his throat, bracing against the wall, "Yea, I'm good."
He stood panting and watched Ty reach into his bag and pull out his sweat soaked shirt, using it to wipe his hand.
Wincing, Tony pulled his waistband out a little, "Oh, great!"
He looked up into Ty's smug smirk.
