When secrets conflict with dreams, love explodes
Excerpt:
She walked out of the room and
into the hall that separated the dressing room from the side stage entrance.
There, she ran through a series of moves to warm up and loosen her muscles.
Years of dance training had taught her how to prepare for a show, but being a
pole dancer in a dive strip club was not the Lincoln Centre she'd imagined. Her
right Achilles tendon complained. She pointed and flexed her foot then
stretched the back of her leg. How ironic. An Achilles heel had been both
Achilles' downfall and hers.
Once she felt her muscles loosen,
she popped her head into the sound booth. "Asswipe – I mean Frankie has
deemed that I'm up next. Jade's not dancing tonight. Fell off her heel. Can you
put the Pole Dance Six music on?"
"Flame, honey, your wish is
my command." Steve winked then scrolled through the music list and clicked
on the requested folder.
The music from Passion Fruit's
performance faded and applause replaced it. She bumped Flame's shoulder as she
exited the stage. "Sorry. Gawd, what a shitty crowd. Brain dead morons are
takin' over the world."
Flame stepped past her, walked to
the pole at centerstage, wrapped her fingers on the metal and waited for the
first music cue. As the opening chord sounded, she focused solely on her job,
spinning around the dance pole, holding on with a hand, a bent knee, or a
curved elbow. She stood beside it, lifted her leg, resting it on the shaft, and
then pulled herself forward into a standing front split. She laid her head on
her leg and tossed her hair right and left as she gazed about the bar. Baseball
Cap Guy's seat was empty. Probably in the
men's room, jerking off.
With a twist, she lowered her leg,
turned so her back was against the pipe, and kicked off the stage. With her
legs spread wide, the black crotch of her thong exposed to all, she circled the
pole. The brilliant stage lights blurred as they seemed to whiz by. She slapped
her feet to the floor, dropped to side splits, and humped the floor for several
bars of music. She raised her head. Her gaze met two eyes staring intently at
her. A small grin hovered over his lips. Forgetting her number one rule, she
smiled back. He tilted his head in a small nod.
Flame's focus broke. Her pussy
clenched. Her nipples strained against the leather bra. No man had ever
disrupted a performance like the simple grin on this one's face. She pushed
herself to her hands and knees and crawled forward. Reaching the edge of the
stage, she shifted to sitting on her heels with her knees splayed. She dragged
the nail of her right index finger down the centre of her forehead, along her
nose, over her pouted lips, between her breasts, along her firm torso, and then
over the edge of her leather-encased mound. Reaching up, she ran her fingers
through her long red hair and paused with her hands behind her head. There, she
waited, displayed for him, knees apart, and breasts pushed forward as if
offering herself to his desires.
