"I'm sorry, we're not letting any more people in," said the willowy brunette, who had introduced herself earlier as Catherine Vincent. She was flanked by a big bouncer who looked like he could lift twice his own weight. They stood before a velvet curtain that separated the jam-packed lobby from the club. "I'd love to let you all in, really I would. You, miss, I love that dress. If you got it, flaunt it, am I right or am I right? But I just can't. There isn't room."
Tonya sighed. She'd been looking forward to getting into Incognito, the city's most notorious sex club. Her life was in need of a walk on the wild side, and getting into Incognito would definitely qualify. News about the club had spread through every underground scene. Two famous actors had even been spotted going in, although they'd refused to say exactly what happened there other than "unbridled licentiousness." Her roommate, Josie, had bet her fifty bucks she wouldn't dare go, and if she came home after being turned back, she'd not only be out the fifty bucks but Josie would think she chickened out. She was willing to lose the fifty bucks, but she wanted to prove she was as daring as Josie if not more so. If there was angle she could work to get in, she'd work it, but she didn't see what it was.
She'd worn her most daring dress -- a silver sequined number with a deep V neck that showed off lots of cleavage. She had to pull it down constantly to keep it from riding up over her ass. She'd bought a pair of silver heels to go with it, and had her auburn hair blown out into perfect waves, all in order to look like someone the proprietors of a sex club would want inside.
Among those who had been denied entry, hers wasn't even the sexiest outfit. Catherine had been complimenting another woman, who had more up top and was threatening to spill out of her bustier.
"What if someone leaves?" asked a man in a tux.
"If someone leaves, I can let someone in." Catherine Vincent's voice either betrayed irritation or doubt.
"Who?" asked a woman's voice.
"It depends. We try to keep a gender balance."
"I'll pay five hundred dollars if you let me in," said the man in the tux.
Catherine shook her head. "No."
"To you, personally. How much are you getting paid to do this stressful job of telling people what they don't want to hear? Don't you think you should get paid more?"
"You might as well go home now, Sir, and never come back," Catherine said. "Because you're never getting into Incognito. All my needs are taken care of." She grinned impishly. "
All
my needs, if you get my drift." She winked.
"I'd be willing to meet your needs," said a brunette in a little black dress. "Especially if it got me in."
Me too, thought Tonya, even though she didn't usually swing that way.
"Now, you know what I said to the last person who tried to bribe me," said Catherine.
"I meant inside
you
, not the club. I've got a strap-on with me."
Catherine made a show of fanning herself.
The brunette handed her a card. Catherine put it her cleavage.
"What's the maximum occupancy of the club, anyway?" said the man in the tux, who apparently had not given up.
"It's not about the fire code," replied Catherine calmly. "It's about having enough space to move around, and, well, do whatever people want to do. Not everyone inside is, um, vertical, after all."
"Ah but some of the horizontal people are probably stackable," said another man's voice, although she couldn't pick out who. There was nervous laughter. Were people having sex inside, in front of everyone? The rumors said that sort of thing happened. Tonya wanted to see for herself. She could hear noises from inside that sounded like people having a good time, but it was hard to tell exactly over the music.
"Incognito is an exclusive club for discriminating pleasure seekers. It is not a warehouse, and the people inside are not objects. Unless, of course, they want to be. Now, if you choose to wait, that's fine, but there are no guarantees. Guests very rarely leave early."
A man entered the lobby from the club. Everyone turned, hoping that he was leaving. He was a tall athletic man, the kind of man who could blend in anywhere. The only remarkable things about him was that he wore a black mask that covered his lower face, and his steel-gray eyes. He handed Catherine a note and went back inside. People sighed with disappointment when they realized he wasn't leaving.
"Well, hmm," said Catherine, "it seems we might be able to let
one
person in. But there's a rather significant condition."
The man with the tux, who still hadn't gotten the hint, thrust some bills at her.
Catherine took them, and dropped them on the ground. "The main floor is quite full, as are the side rooms. But there's room for one more, providing they are willing to spend the night in the glory hole booth -- at least until someone else wants to, um, serve in that way."
The man with the tux grabbed the money from the floor as fast as he could.
"What," Catherine asked the man. "Don't fancy a night of sucking cock? You weren't getting in, anyway. Go home." She then scanned the crowd. Most, Tonya noticed, were stepping back, including the brunette who'd offered to fuck Catherine with a strap-on.
I can't believe I'm doing this
, thought Tonya, as she stepped forward. "I'll do it," she said, almost inaudibly.
"What's your name?" asked Catherine.
"Tonya."
"Have you ever been to Incognito before, Tonya?"
Tonya shook her head. "No."
"Do you know what a glory hole is?"
Tonya nodded, looking around nervously.
"You're pretty nervous, aren't you?"
"Well," said Tonya, stepping close and dropping her voice, "it's one thing to agree to do that anonymously, and another to admit it in front of everyone here."
Catherine smiled. "Honey, there's nothing anonymous about what you're about to be doing. Being proud to be slutty is part of what Incognito offers. Can you be a proud slut?"
Tonya hesitated. She was not going to go home and admit she didn't get in. "Yes."
"Say it. Say you are."
"I'm a proud slut," said Tonya.
"Go on in," said Catherine. "The Director is waiting for you."
* * * * *
She went through to the main room. "The Director" was, apparently, the man in the mask, but he stood patiently while she looked around.
Inside, things were just as decadent as she had hoped and expected them to be, if not more so. A woman was getting fucked on top of a table. Porn was playing on screens all over the room. Amateur porn, Tonya judged. A close-up of a woman sucking a cock, another being fucked in the ass, a third taking on three men at once. A well-endowed topless waitress in a micro-skirt wandered around taking drink orders.
"You volunteered?" The Director asked. "You know what's expected of you?"
Tonya nodded. The whole thing was unreal to her, and the masked man only made it more so. "I'm, um, to be on one side of a glory hole, and I guess, um, suck any cocks that come through?"
"Something like that. We believe in consent here at Incognito, so you can reject a cock for any reason. But it will of course be more entertaining if you keep yourself busy."
"Entertaining for whom? Me? The men?"
The Director pointed up at one of the screens she'd noticed earlier, with the close-up of the girl giving a blowjob. "That screen shows glory hole room number one." He pointed to one next to it, showing an empty room. "That one shows glory hole room number two. You will be naked, and you will not hide your face or your breasts from the camera at any time."
Tonya balked. "Is this all going up on a website or something? Is this how the club makes money? I don't --"
"None of this goes up on a website. None of it ever shown outside the club. Ever."
Tonya spread her hands. "How can I possibly know that?"
The Director paused. "You can't, I suppose. But if I had a way of convincing you, and I was telling you the truth, would you consent to be convinced?"
It was an odd proposal. How could he convince her? One couldn't prove a negative, so he couldn't possibly prove the videos weren't going to end up online. She wanted to be in the club, but she didn't want to be an unwitting pornstar. But if he could convince her? "Sure. I don't see how you could do that, but if you could, sure."
"And if you were convinced, would you agree to be seen by all while you... perform?" he asked.
There was no sense in objecting to something that would never happen. Besides, the idea of being watched actually excited her, as long as it wasn't going to be seen by future employers or her aging parents.
"One more condition, since that first one was part of the deal all along. After you are relieved -- assuming that happens -- I want you to agree to take a walk with me. No one will be allowed to touch you without your consent, including me, but other than that I will choose where we walk. We will be in sight of others the whole time, so you will be perfectly safe."
"Only if you can convince me," she said. "I rather doubt you can."
"But if I can, you agree to my terms?"
She shrugged. "I do."
"Come into my office a moment. It's on the way to where you'll be stationed, if you end up being convinced. I have something to show you." He walked towards a door, not waiting to see if she followed.
She hurried to keep up. "If I'm not convinced, you could just turn the cameras off."
