Chapter 03 - Nightlife
The reputation of City Nightclub as a loud and popular nightspot was born out by the little gaggle of people of people in the street. Each time the door opened a wave of sound broke over them like an ocean roller at the beach. The owner, a character called Tai Ko, greeted them at the door. As usual, he was dressed like a bouncer from a Chicago speakeasy in the gangster era. The white tie and dark blue shirt with his midnight black suit made him look even larger than he was. Tai Ko waved them ahead of the others waiting for entry.
"Mei Ling! Good to see you. Beautiful as usual! I have a great table for you. Right away." He led the way and the circled around to the far side of the dance floor. The place was rocking, light rays of all colors shot from wall to wall in time with the beat of the music and cast moving shadows around the room. The beat of the music was insistent and reverberated from every corner of the large room.
"First drink's on me! You're good for business!" he laughed, his eyes hardly straying from Mei Ling's slinky form. I'm going to put you into your own special private room." He stopped to whisper instructions in the ear of the hostess and she went off to do his bidding.
Tai Ko led the way, playing the role of big time club operator leading celebrities to a place of honor. The celebrity, Mark knew, was Mei Ling who Tai Ko had openly lusted for years. Mark didn't mind because it always meant special favors when they came to the popular spot.
The sound level was deafening, the beat heavy and throbbing. A small stage suited for four or five musicians, included a Taiwanese singer, who was delivering hardly recognizable lyrics to the frenzied beat of her backup musicians. A dull red curtain hung limply behind the quartet.
On the dance floor, a hundred bodies of varying shapes writhed to the music. Around the fringes a few ignored the beat and snuggled against their partners where the lighting was conducive to the pleasures of pressing and rubbing, and sliding against each other. Mark glanced longingly at the nearest such couple, recognizing the woman whose bottom was being fondled and whose mound was possessing the man's thigh.
Mark and Mei Ling stood staring out over the scene. Mark noticed the smile coming over her face and a gleam brighten her eyes. Mei Ling loved this and he knew she would throw herself into it with abandon and then return to him sexually excited. The dancing and the adulation of her sensuous body guaranteed that she would return in a high state of sexual readiness. He would spend the next few hours anticipating the wetness between her legs. The hours of anticipation would be a sensuous pleasure of its own, which he would hone and build until he too would be wild with need when they arrived in their own bedroom.
Mark slipped his arm around Mei Ling's waist and found the band of her panties. He ran his finger along it, thinking about watching her put them on earlier. They were black and full of lace decorating her loveliness. The thought ran through his mind that out of this roomful of men who would be undressing her with their eyes, only he knew what those panties looked like, what promise of pleasure they suggested. They could only imagine. Mark shivered with the thrill of that thought and looked around at the eyes already probing through the darkness to see Mei Ling. He rubbed her back as if she were a fine racehorse, beautifully crafted for speed and grace. Mark fondled her narrow bra strap, tucking the material of her dress under it as he slipped two fingers under it possessively.
There were private salons off to the sides where a small party could have privacy sitting at small couches around a low coffee table while still feeling very much involved with the dance floor. The dimly lit rooms and deep couches were known to invite many other pleasures, of course.
Tai Ko held aside a heavy red drape to invite the party to enter.
"I'm sending drinks and a couple friends of mine to entertain you." He grinned.
Mark knew that he would be sending some of the girls whose time was so expensive in a club like this. They were good at conversation and better at more erotic extras.
Tai Ko had slipped close to Mei Ling and his hand touched low on her hip as he surrounded her with his arm.
To escape Tai Ko's exploring hand, Mei Ling pulled Mark onto the floor and spun off into a sinuous, perfectly timed dance, while Mark tried to keep out of the way. As she led the way through the crowd, he watched with pride as she attracted attention of the other men. It was not just pride, it was a sensuous pleasure for him to know that every eye was on her, that every man wanted her. And yet, it would be to his bed she went that night.
As Mei Ling's smile widened, her dancing became more abandoned, her movements graceful, but charged with power and sexuality. The laser lights shooting from wall to wall in time with the music seemed to focus on her clear and beautiful skin, and to fill her beautiful eyes with iridescent brilliance.
One arm high in the air, a tawny and sensual leg thrust through the slit in her long skirt, she looked like a statue in motion. Her body flirted with all those eyes. Those intense eyes that devoured her curves and caressed the line of her hips. Even men with beautiful partners slowed their step and cast a lustful eye along her body. Mark luxuriated in the attention showered on his wife gave him.
They made their way back to the private room to find that Tai Ko was still making himself part of their party.
Tai Ko, Alex and the two girls were in animated conversation.
He smiled into her eyes as she twirled back into his embrace and Mark thought about the pleasure of his hand lightly following the smooth curve of her hip. Looking over her shoulder, he followed the male eyes that followed the bounce of her round bottom, the lust and envy obvious. Even those dancing with other girls slowed down slightly and ran their eyes over her bottom and the long, perfectly shaped legs of Mei Ling.
As she spun away from him, Mark understood the reason for their complete attention to her curves. One of his pleasures in being Mei Ling's husband was the sure knowledge that he was lucky. It was even an erotic thrill to him that other men thought her so beautiful and that she would go home with him. That she would be in his bed tonight and not theirs, no matter how they might try to entice her. The knowledge of all this sexual interest in his wife, made their sex exquisite when he thought about it in bed with Mei Ling.
They returned to the room to find the two friends that Tai Ko had promised.
They recognized Jenny and she introduced Au Fei, a tall slinky girl in a glittering orange dress whose skirt came to midthigh; a colorful necklace of large bright beads graced her neck. Jenny wore a long skirt with slits up both sides and a bright red blouse which would be see through if there were enough light. Mark admired her breasts and recalled other nights happily pressed against them on the dance floor.
"Hello, Jenny! I haven't seen you in a long time! How are you?" Mark said, grinning broadly.
The two girls demanded a dance with Alex and Mark, leaving Tai Ko alone with Mei Ling. Mark was sure that Tai Ko had prearranged this for a chance at Mei Ling in the privacy of the room.
Mark and Jenny danced easily together. Jenny had always affection for Mark and it had caused Mei Ling to scold him jealously in the past. Jenny's mound thrust against his thigh as they turned. Mark pulled her body close and they stood in one place fondling each other. He squeezed her delightfully taut bottom and Jenny whispered breathily in his ear in return. They stood still for a moment, his erection warm and hard against that tender space between thigh and mound.
She seemed content to continue this and Mark felt the warmth of her body through the underside of his cock now nestled against the silken valley of her body. He could feel the fabric slide sensually between their bodies and every curve of her body coming together there between them. Her arm crooked around his neck and she turned her head slowly to feel his lips graze along her neck, then the tip of h is tongue find her ear. He could feel her tremble slightly at the intimate wetness of his tongue on her ear. Slowly she moved her breasts against his chest and slipped her hand under his jacket and around to the small of his back. He felt her fingers slip under his belt and press him closer. Jenny thrust her mound against him a little more firmly, savoring the warmth of his cock through the thin dress.
"Ohhh, ..."
"Yes,... " he spoke into her ear and pressed firmly in response.
Reluctantly making excuses, Mark steered her off the floor after two numbers. Jenny went off towards the ladies' room and Mark peered tentatively through the gap in the room's drapes. There was Tai Ko, sitting close to Mei Ling, his arm heavily draped around her shoulders. Mei Ling sat forward, seeming to avoid his arm, but it followed and caressed a small circle over her bra strap. His hand sidled down her back until his hand rested low on her hip searching for the outline of her panties.
Mark slipped quietly inside the room and backed against the wall to see how far Tai Ko would be allowed to go. His hand went lower so he was having the pleasure of feeling her bottom where it began to flare out into round beauty. Mark knew that Mei –Ling would allow that and nothing more, not wanting to get involved with Tai Ko, but not wanting to insult him either.
At that moment, Alex and Au Fei brushed through the entry drapes. Alex suddenly flashed angry, as if he were the offended husband. He sat next to Mei Ling and began rebuking Tai Ko for pushing his attentions on Mei Ling. Tai Ko was offended, but went away good-naturedly. He was accustomed to being taken on by irate husbands in his business. He grinned at Mark as he went out the door with a wave or resignation. Mark had the feeling that Tai Ko had known that he was watching from the gloom all the time.
