Chapter One
"I cannot believe you expect me to dance in that!" screamed Alexia for the fourth time. She had been arguing for hours with Alan, the club owner. He seemed to honestly find the sheep costume cute. It was an atrocity. The costume and all others like it needed to be destroyed! Just because she was an exotic dancer didn't mean she would go out in all sorts of crazy costumes, "Sexy Sheep" isn't on anyone's agenda.
Grabbing a simple skin tight dress she made her way to the makeup room. Hurrying into the dress and finding her heels she soon heard her cue to go on stage. The dubstep song Lights blasted over the speakers. Her particular brand of dancing was more of an art form as she took to the pole. Her movements matched the beat flawlessly. Years of gymnastics had allowed her to easily hone her skills.
She always made sure to make eye contact with everyone in the audience. They were there to so her nude body but she was there to put on a show. Stepping down from the pole Alexia walked to the edge of the stage to tease one of the men in the audience.
The man looked at her with the same greedy expression as the rest of the men as she slowly removed her dress. Tossing it back behind her she slowly turned around and gyrated making sure to remain just out of his reach. Looking ahead of her she made eye contact with a woman. Women in the club were not a strange occurrence. It was the woman's beauty that struck Alexia.
She almost lost beat as she watched the woman watch her. Gathering herself she went to dance in front of the woman. To Alexia she was gorgeous, perfect milk chocolate skin with plump lips and eyes the color fresh printed money, a surprising color for a black woman. She held her self with such dominance; Alexia couldn't help but be entranced by her gaze. She had to tear herself away to go give the rest of her crowd some attention.
When her dance was over and she had collected her earnings she hurried to the back to put on her floor outfit, well if it could be called that. It consisted in a net dress over a leather thong-bikini set. For the first time since she started dancing at the club she felt nervous as she walked out onto the floor.
She immediately scanned the floor for the woman; she had to talk to her. She spotted her off in a corner surrounded by what looked like an entourage. Inhaling and gathering her courage she made her way over.
"I was hoping you would come to me." The woman said in a husky tone.
Alexia froze on the spot. The woman hadn't even looked up. "Hello I'm Alexia and you are?" she managed to grind out.
The woman looked up at her for what felt like an eternity before saying, "I am Eshe, pleased to meet you." She said in that same bone warming tone. Alexia was transfixed it almost seemed unnatural the way her barriers went out the window with this woman. Eshe maintained eye contact with Alexia for a while before saying, "Could me and my friends have a private dance?"
A chill of apprehension went up her back but there was no way she was going to say no to this beautiful creature standing in front of her. Turning around she crooked her finger to indicate that they should follow her. As she led them to the champagne room she made sure to add extra sway to her hips. Eshe and her crew followed without question.
Once in one of the private rooms Alexia closed the sound proof door and asked Eshe what sort of music she liked.
