The driverless taxi rolled to a halt in front of the club. Brooke and Holly whooped with excitement: "Yay!! We're here!" "C'mon, Penny, you can't stay in the cab
now!
" They mixed giggling and the uproarious laughter, and after stepping onto the sidewalk,leaned into one another and appeared to be holding each other up. They stood in the flowing crowd looking back at her in the taxi, grinning and giggling. Penelope hated when they called her Penny.
With a sigh she pushed herself out the door and stood. That was another thing. Holly and Brooke seemed to have a lot of energy for these night-time escapades. They were both so lean and athletic (and dressed to the nines), but Penelope, only a few years older at 26, had already put on enough weight to have a true noblefemme's physique, tall and portly. They told her they envied her stout build, since everybody took her more seriously, but they still went to the gym to lift weights and work different muscle groups. They were a mystery. They were Brooke and Holly.
Her friends had finally worn Penelope down: they had invited themselves to her lovely Park Avenue apartment and made free with her modest liquor supply. Penelope had a flight in the morning, and certainly didn't want to get on a plane hung over.
"Put something nice on, Penny," Holly had said. "We came over to drag you out for a last-minute carousal, a devilish bit of debauchery before you abandon us for the wilds of Idaho." Holly was always clever with words, and then apologizing for it. Penelope knew her friend had an exceptional vocabulary, and wondered why she hid it all the time.
Brooke stood next to Penelope with a bottle of champagne, impatiently waiting for her to finish what was in her glass. She smirked down at Penelope. "Hurry along now, m'dear," she said. "Time's a-wastin'. We have places to go." Brooke was very difficult to resist, even when she was simply offering to top up a drink. She always had convincing reasons for her decided opinions on all things practical, political, and technical. She was that one person in Penelope's life whom she could trust for the right answer. Resisting her right then seemed infantile, or even churlish.
They stood in front of the club and looked up at the neon sign, which alternated between the name of the club, "Specimens," and two or three outlines of very firm and shapely boys. This display was understated compared to others around town, which showed boys outlined complete with large erections. But Specimens was the club of choice for affluent young femme partly because of the very understated nature of its outward appearance. Once inside, however, they could rely on dim lighting, except for the spotlights on the show floor, plush carpeting, and a thrumming, insistent, vibrating bass line that seemed to capture the very rhythm of sex. And sex was very casually on sale to femme at Specimens, as it was at a wide variety of other clubs around town. And so here they were, Brooke, Holly, and Penelope, finding seats at a table in the dark to watch a series of beautiful boys rhythmically strip out of outfits that Penelope thought were already skimpy.
Penelope liked watching gorgeous boys, a sheen of oil on their flawless golden or ebony bodies, gyrate and lewdly thrust their hips -- she was healthy femme and for her age she had normal appetites -- but something about the whole sex-for-sale vibe embarrassed her. She didn't feel the same freedom to give in to her lustful urges as Brooke and Holly did. Was it the commercialization? Was it the tiresome assumption that as a good femme in a privileged family she should enjoy prostitutes because society condoned it, even encouraged it?
Brooke told her once, as she and Holly were headed out on the town, leaving Penelope at home, "I don't understand why you don't enjoy yourself more, Pen. You might not get their seed, but so what? Think of it as a shopping trip -- if you find a buck who is a lot of fun and dreamy to look at, maybe he can be a full time boy toy. You've got deep pockets, and they all know it. It's crude but it's true, what they say -- 'Crush, enjoy, thank you boy.' Please, you have to fix your thinking -- you're not going take any of these boys in wedlock, let's face it. And obviously, in a few years, you'll be getting premium sperm from Grandma, to get a strong, perfect daughter. Wedlock is great for femme who can afford it, and you'll be one of them. Give it time, Pen. Your life's ahead of you."
Brooke's advice was surprisingly close to Penelope's grandmother's, the daunting Lady Elsa Gynogarde. Penelope never talked to Grandmother about marriage though. Grandma Gynogarde was constantly distracted by her husbands and concubines, and to a surprising degree. She always told Penelope to wait until she'd matured into a proper noblefemme, had her 60th birthday at least, and find the right virgin boy who's looking for security, who'll give you devotion and full use of his perfect, firm body. And she said maybe we'll compare notes, because odds are, I'll still be alive too! You better not take any of the boys I want!
At their table in the Specimens club, the bass rhythm shook Penelope's insides, and she realized she was a bit dizzy from drink. She'd already finished one champagne at the club and was working on her second -- this was in addition to the wine she'd had at home. The music seemed to gain volume as one of the strippers danced in sensual rhythm right up to their table during his act. He'd already thrown his sweaty loincloth to the crowd, so was now clad only in a narrow leather collar around his neck and matching bands around his wrists. He showed off his quite large, quite erect endowment in a private show at their table. Only it wasn't private at all; it seemed that femme from almost all the other tables were watching. Brooke and Holly were at the bottom of this, Penelope realized, but didn't quite know what to do when the impossibly gorgeous dark-haired boy danced and gyrated directly next to her. Brooke and Holly were both giggling and laughing now, watching her in her predicament. They'd paid him and put him up to it, obviously, and now, much to Penelope's deep embarrassment, femme at other tables began to yell, "Don't be shy like a cock!" and "Grab that sweet ass, young femme!" and "Whoo! Crush that boy! He'll give it ALL up!"
He had a very sexy sheen of oil all over his body, and Penelope noticed his beautiful, square shoulders, and his arms had a long-muscled, lean definition to them. Penelope watched the beguiling, sensual way he moved those perfect arms -- nothing very aggressive, but a subtle and graceful suggestion of self-embrace, his hands roaming over his tapering torso and his thighs and ass. His eyes closed as he mimed giving pleasure to himself. In fact, he had a way of moving his sexy, long-fingered hands near and around his amazingly hard cock that emphasized it without touching it, showing it off to great effect. The pounding music slowed down to an impossibly sexy stride rhythm, and the boy's dancing slowed with it. He showed off his balletic hands and wrists even more suggestively now, and fixed his dark eyes on Penelope's. She could feel her moisture, knew her arousal had been building since his table-side performance started. With a flutter in her gut, she imagined taking this boy, dominating him, making him follow her orders, making him satisfy her whims. While not knowing exactly where the impulse came from -- a big part of it may have been Brooke's advice, and she knew part of it was showing her friends finally that she had it in her -- wherever it came from, it excited her immensely, and the exuberant excitement surprised her. It seemed suddenly like it was overdue, and the moisture between her legs seconded her thoughts.
Something had moved within her. She'd never imagined taking charge, didn't know if she knew how. She'd seen it enough times in porn, but putting herself into that role felt unnatural, like she would be faking it. But that thought process seemed outdated tonight. When would be a better time, she thought. She would be leaving in the morning, what better way to leave the big city behind, to announce to herself and the world she was now going to take charge? Her butterflies hit her again and now her pussy was very wet, soaking.
Still dancing so sexily, hips going back and forth, causing his sturdy erection to wobble about lewdly, as if reading her mind he said, "You look regal tonight, my Lady. So strong and powerful." And quieter, close to her ear, "Let me be your loyal subject tonight, my Queen, your whims will be my command....Please let me please you!"
The drink...the catcalls from other tables...her conniving friends...none of them could see her brand-new assertiveness, her face betrayed nothing. And Oh! Let's not forget this boy right here, with his hard cock shaking and waving around as he danced. She squirmed just the littlest bit in her seat, and felt her full wetness. She stood up and the boy took her hand to lead her away, and the femme in the room erupted in cheering, applauding, and whooping in delight. Only last night Penelope would have felt embarrassed and ashamed, but tonight was different. Tonight she gave herself permission to be in charge.
The cheers of the crowd faded as they walked down a dimly lit curving stairway near the stage. They could still feel the muffled constant bass line, however. She was glad they'd chosen this particular club. Its reputation for cleanliness gave her some comfort, when some of the other clubs she'd been to...she didn't want to think about them. Penelope found she liked the feeling of this boy's hand in hers. It was an unusual personal touch that not all boys gave. They reached the bottom of the stairway and entered a dark, narrow hallway. "My name's Ashley," he said, his wobbling cock still visible in the very dim light.
"I'm Penelope," she said as they stopped at a door.
He looked up at her -- the top of his head was about level with her chin -- and said, "What a distinguished name, a classic!...I hope I don't sound too trite when I say, it's a strong name for a regal, powerful lady."
"Mmm," Penelope said, "it sounds a little rote, actually."
