A Dancer's Sin (editing){Completed}

"We've met," I said with irritation.

The man smiled at me and took a sip of his drink. "You're very interesting." He said against the rim of the glass.

"How so?" I asked taking a seat next to Talia.

He sat the drink down and turned to face me. "Well it's obvious that you're sleeping with the boss, but you hate it. So that leaves me to believe that he's blackmailing you, and also from how tense you are right now I'd say that the sex is horrible... Did I miss anything?"

I stared at him and with each passing second I grew enraged. "Tony, give me something strong." I said to the bartender.

"Don't you have another show to put on? Tony, give her a water," Talia said hitting me on the thigh. She turned to Shannon. "So what brings you here?"

"He didn't tell you? He's trying to buy us out," I said taking the cup of water from Tony.

Talia looked shocked. "Really?" I was expecting her to slap him, but instead she became excited. "God I've been hoping this place would go under new management for the longest! I can't stand that jackass." Talia took Shannon's drink and finished it off for him.

"Well I wasn't-"

"Hey! I remember you. You're that hottie-boom-body that I handed a flyer to." My friend Venus appeared wearing a bikini top with sweats. She slid her ass against his thigh as she went to sit in his lap. She took his hand in hers and intertwined them. "So you want that private session now?" She asked seductively against his cheek.

"You can't. We're going to start our next show in ten," I snapped. Shannon looked at me with spark of interest.

"Ten minutes should be long enough right?" Venus kissed his jaw and ran her hand up his arm to the collar of his shirt where she played with his collar bone.

Shannon had his hands at her waist grazed her hip with his thumb. I could tell it was turning her on because her face began to turn red. My blood began to rise again and turned away from them.

"Tony, baby please," I pleaded with the bartender. He looked at me and sighed before fixing me a strawberry martini. "You're a doll."

"Is that a hint of jealousy I detect?" Talia said in my ear. Her large brown eyes winked at me flirtatiously.

"Don't be ridiculous," I said before I gulped the martini down. "Let's go Venus." I got up and pulled her by the arm away from Shannon. I didn't know why but he got under my skin. I had never been so flustered or intrigued at one time. His look did something to me that I didn't understand, and his voice sent shivers up my spine.

"Why did you do that?" Venus said pulling against me.

"Because we need to get ready for the show."

Once we were backstage we began to change into our next out fit. It was personally my favorite costume. It was a black mobster suit with pink pin stripes and a diamond necklace set with matching fedora and pink pumps with pink pistols for props.

"We're on in three, girls!" I shouted looking at myself once more in the mirror. We rushed onto the stage and positioned ourselves behind the curtain. The bouncers pulled the curtains back and the spotlight flashed on me.
