Mark's POV
I sighed as I stared at my reflection- disappointed in what I had done with my life.
Sure, I love being a YouTuber but I can't pay the bills by making videos of me playing games.
My job- if you can even call it that- pays pretty well, and the work hours are perfect for my schedule but sometimes I have to deal with rough..clients.
But I'm a tough boy, I'll have to suck it up if I don't want to get evicted out of my nice apartment.
Having had seen enough of myself, I walk over to my bed where my outfit is already packed in my work bag, and I make sure I have everything before I sling the bag over my shoulder. I walk out of my room, grabbing my keys off the table before heading out the front door and locking it behind me.
My downstairs neighbor happened to be outside with her two dogs and I stopped at the bottom of the stairs to bid her a good morning and to pat her dogs heading out the front door.
When I step outside, I jog down the steps leading up to my door and start walking in the direction of my workplace.
When I'm about half a block away from my apartment building, I think I hear something behind me- like a click, sort of.
I glance behind my shoulder to see nothing- I figure that I'm just being paranoid and look forward again. It doesn't take long for my mind to wander, which makes my journey go by faster than it probably should have.
I sucked in a deep breath and pushed the door open, being met by my friend 'Dlive'- he doesn't like telling people his real name so he goes by that nickname. It's even imprinted on his name tag!
"You ready to fire those men up, Mark?"
He punches me playfully in the shoulder.
"Hah! They probably come here to get laid by some easily swayed dancer."
We laugh and go into our conjoined dressing room, talking about in a usual friendly banter. I set my bag on one of the chairs and pull out my outfit- neon pink skintight shorts, black suspenders with pink mustaches on them, and a collar with a bow tie, and thigh high black and white striped stockings.
Dlive's outfit was the same, but his suspenders had white polka dots, and his shorts were blue.
Pulling the curtains to my 'room' shut, I begin to strip down to my bare essentials and grab my shorts from where they were draped over the back of a chair.
As I squeezed into my shorts, I heard no movement from my friend and coworker, so I peek at him through the thick curtain separating us with a curious look.
He's just.. standing there, doing that thing where your eyes space out on you and just stare at something (in this case, his backpack on the vanity table).
"Hey, Mark?"
"Yeah, Dlive?"
"Be careful, ok? These alphas get rough.."
I gave him a reassuring smile and squeezed his shoulder, letting him know that I would be fine, and I could take care of any alpha prick that decided I would be a good target.
We laugh, and just then, our boss walks in the room.
Our boss, a man named Bob, was a nice man- he was funny too. He was a pretty awesome employer, which is hard to come by these days when you work in a strip club.
"Hey, I'm warning all you guys to stay near each other after shows okay? We've had a lot of rough alphas in here today alone."
"Like a buddy system."
"Yeah, a buddy system. No doubt that anybody who would be dumb enough to jump you would probably wake up with their head up their ass."
I let out a dorky laugh and D did, too.
Bob wished us luck and went back to his office to do whatever it it that Bobs do.
--
We stepped on to the stage and the club emerged in applause and wolf whistles. The alphas quieted down when the music began, and we caressed our bodies against the cold silver poles like snakes slithering across a slick surface.
Me and Dlive grinded against the poles, looking seductively at all of the alphas.
Somewhere in my head, I heard a voice screaming at me to look over towards the left, near Bobs office.
A handsome man stared back at me, and ran a hand through the green mohawk portion of his hair. He smirked, and I smirked too, licking my lips.
--I don't know what it is about this alpha that made him seem so sexy, but I think I wanna see him again sometime soon.
