Why do you want to be a stripper? This was the first question that Mark, the man on the other side of the desk, asked me.
I stood in a small office and I hesitated before answering the blunt question.
"I have always wanted to be a stripper since I learned what one was. The whole idea of it really just turns me on, I want to show off my body and I want people to see it. Also I love dancing and I think that pole dancing is one of the sexiest things a woman can do.
"So you are an exhibitionist then, lets test that shall we? Strip, now."
I am briefly shocked by his request but I quickly start pulling my shirt over my head, "Yes sir, do you want me to take it all off?"
"Take off whatever you are comfortable with." he responded.
I was pushed my leggings down and stepped out of them and the heels I was wearing, I hesitated only a second before unclasping my bra and then sliding off my black lacey panties too. Now fully naked I put my hands behind my back and stood up straight and looked at Mark before glancing down and attempting to slow down my heart rate with a few deep breaths. My entire body was tingling and I was shaking slightly from sheer energy and excitement.
Mark sat back in his chair then stood, he walked around his desk and slowly circled me examining every inch of my body. Eventually he stopped and stood behind me.
"Is this what you hoped for?"
"Yes sir, it is and I hope that you will give me a chance to prove myself."
"Well in order to do this job you need three things, two of them you definitely have and that is the looks and the enthusiasm. The third thing is the skills, so lets test that shall we? Put on your panties, bra and heels and follow me."
I quickly complied with his order and stepped out of the office, as soon as I did it felt like everyone in the room was staring at me and I became suddenly self conscious and shy. I fought the impulse to go back into the office and pick up my clothes. I took a deep breath and stood up straight and hurried up to follow Mark.
As we walked towards the center of the room and the stage I looked around and I saw that everyone in the room seemed to be an employee of some kind, there couldn't have been more than 6 people in the whole room. Mark said something to someone and the faint music that had been playing changed to a louder electronic track with a slow and heavy beat. The guy in the corner that had changed the music then came over the microphone and said "and now coming to the stage a brand new act, lets hear it for Tali." All the staff in the room turned from what they had been doing and now all of them were actually staring at me the bouncer from the front door that had let me in was the only one that made any kind of noise, he clapped once or twice everyone else just looked and seemed bored.
I knew that this was no time for any more hesitation so I stepped out onto the stage and started swaying towards the front of the stage stepping in time with the beat and letting my hands lightly run up and down my chest. I reached the pole and set my hand against it and suddenly all the fear was gone, I was really doing it, instead of blocking out everyone in the room I tried to connect with each of them, I scanned the room as I slowly let myself swing around the pole. After one revolution I swung my legs up and slowly spun around the pole holding it with my arms out in front of myself. I landed on the front part of the stage and dropped to the ground and did a body roll and cupped my tits and thrust myself forward. I then slinked on all fours forward to the front of the stage where one of the bouncers was standing. I locked eyes with him and rolled to the side so I was on my back. I took a deep breath pushing my chest out even further and drawing his eyes directly to my tits. Then I rolled over again and this time with one hand I unclasped the bra and this time when I body rolled back up to my knees I was topless. I stood up then and slowly swing myself around the pole again. Mark then asked the DJ to speed up the music. Now I had a much faster beat to work with and that let me show off one of my best assets, I have a very thick ass and it is perfect for making it clap. This is definitely my specialty, I continued gyrating and twerking my ass until Mike called a halt.
"Thats good, I have seen all I need to."
There were polite claps from the rest of the staff, thankfully none of them seemed disdainful at worst they were indifferent.
"Alright come with me back to my office."
"yes sir" I said meekly as I grabbed my bra and followed him across the room.
Once in the office Mike leaned against the side of his desk and looked at me standing in front of him still topless. he didn't say anything about putting it back on so I kept it off.
"Why do you always call me Sir?"
"Well Sir, its because you are hopefully going to be my boss and I want to be respectful. Also it was how I was raised."
"I see, so it isn't some kind of sexual submissive thing then, because to be honest when you say it that is all that it makes me think of."
"That wasn't my intention Sir. Im sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I can stop if you like."
"No, I like it... Now to discuss your performance, you are very raw and inexperienced but you have some talent and you have a presence on stage that I think will be more important than your technical skill anyways. So then with that I would like to offer you a place here. The way things work are you make all of your salary in tips from customers, and the house keeps half of whatever you get. We can start you off next monday."
I was silent for a few seconds and then choosing my words carefully I said
"Is that percentage negotiable? And is it possible to start work earlier than that? I really need to start as soon as possible."
"The percentage is what every girl starts out at, if you start bringing in serious money and when you get a bit more experience we can renegotiate. And I am fully staffed for the weekend, its when most of the girls make the majority of their money and I don't think they would appreciate me bringing on a brand new girl starting on a friday."
My spirits sank as he said this, I knew that I would need to pay some dues but I really needed to start making money immediately or I wouldn't be able to find a place to rent. "Please sir is there anything I can do to change your mind?" Even as I said it the cliche line felt cheap, and I immediately regretted saying anything.
He grinned at me as soon as I said it seeming to understand why I was grimacing
"Well there is one thing, you could work the private booths. Would you be open to the idea of giving lap dances and sometimes a bit more?"
