Jennifer walked stiff-legged up to the door of the "club". She was visibly shaking and her heart was racing. She felt waves of lightheadedness and nausea pass over her and she stopped to steady herself.
"I shouldn't be here." Jennifer thought. What would people say if they found out? Her deep brown eyes were covered by dark sunglasses even though it was after dark. She could hear the subdued beat of the club music through the door and she wavered again. She could always just dance for a bit and then go home. The thought gave Jennifer comfort and renewed her resolve. She pushed open the swinging door and stepped into the dimly lit lobby.
Through the glass doors ahead she could see the strobes and lights of the dance floor and the undulation movement of bodies in silhouette. She pressed herself into the inner door; letting her weight open it, since her will would not. The music swelled through the crack as the door widened and she stepped out onto the upper level of the dance floor. A small set of stairs led down to the DJ and the area she was in was studded with cafe tables.
A few couples, were sitting at them enjoying drinks or attempting conversation, which was near impossible over the deafening music. Jennifer turned and walked unsteadily down a narrow hallway to a wooden door with a placard on it depicting a a stick figure on its knees; it's bubble head was buried in the crotch of another stick figure that was standing. "Subtle." Jennifer mused to herself. She hesitated one last time as she reached for the door. She took a deep breath, held it and strode purposefully through the door.
A towering guard in a bird masquerade mask looked her up and down before smiling politely.
"Good evening, ma'am." the bouncer said calmly.
His voice was a low bass rumble. Jennifer was frozen in fear, her confidence suddenly drained. Her knees buckled and shook like a leaf.
"Are you quite alright ma'am? Do you need to have a seat?" The man asked genuinely.
She shook her head no and straightened up, her voice failing her.
"Would you like a face covering for entering and leaving so the men do not see your face?" The guard unclasped his hands and gestured to a small bin of masquerade masks like his own.
Jennifer considered for a moment and then shook her head no again. She brashly removed her sunglasses and stuffed them into her purse. "Let them...let them see my face." she stuttered. Her faced flushed with animalistic arousal at the thought. The hulking man grinned broadly revealing his perfectly straight white teeth, which seemed so bright in the gloom.
"As you wish, ma'am!" The guard announced. "If you are Amelia, you are in box 5. If you are Jennifer, you are in box 3. If you are Jean, box 7. If you are none of these, please tell me your first name only and I will see if have an unscheduled box for you."
Jennifer's chest tightened at hearing her name. She opened and closed her mouth, gulping for air. This was it, the true point of no return.
"I am Jennifer." she whispered.
"Excellent." He replied quickly, "Follow me."
He pivoted on his heel and began to stride purposefully down a long narrow hallway, with doors along the left hand side. She followed him meekly, trying to keep his pace. "Here is your box, ma'am," he stated, simply. Then with another cattish grin he added, "Enjoy." He handed her a slip of paper the size of a note card, pivoted again, and strode to the front just as quickly as he brought her.
Jennifer was less nervous now that she was alone. She opened the door and looked inside. It was literally a box. The inside was three feet square and the walls were mirrored. On the wall opposite the door was a hole, about three inches across and covered with a finned rubber grommet. She pressed on the fins and saw only darkness on the far side.
Jennifer released the grommet and looked above it at a small rectangle of lights arranged in three by two rectangle. Below the lights were three button with symbols next to them. The top was a thumbs up. The middle was an open mouth with sound vibrations emanating from it and the bottom was a picture of a security camera.
Jennifer set down her purse and looked at the slip of paper she had been given. On the front was a description of the lights and the buttons. The top was indicate she was ready to "receive" gentlemen. The middle would allow her to speak to them and for them to hear her and the bottom would activate a camera that would allow them to see her inside the box.
The left side of the lights was for her suitor to make requests and the right side was for her to indicate her acceptance. The instructions told her she need only activate the first light to alert the patrons that she was ready. All other features were optional and she could shut off any light at any time. On the reverse of the card was a final instruction regarding the red cord that hung down by her shoulder. It was an emergency cord that would immediately alert the staff that she needed assistance and would alert her current gentleman that the session was over.
The card explained that there was no penalty for accidental pulls and absolutely no need to explain the reason for pulling it. The final message on the card was for her to have fun and make sure she satisfied herself.
Jennifer knelt and put the note into her purse. Then she sat on the floor for a minute. She stood back up and considered herself in the mirrored walls. She was chubby, she never lost the baby weight from 2 kids. She took off her shirt and massaged her stretch marks. She reached up and cupped her large breasts. Unhooking her bra, she released them and eyed them as she turned in mirrors.
