Stripped Bare.

Chapter 6

My legs are aching, I haven't had a moments rest since we started and we are only half way through the night. I have lost count of how many dances I have done, Callie wasn't wrong about tonight being full on. The only thing getting me through is the pay check at the end of this.

I have just finished doing a dance for a business meeting, yes business meeting. You would be surprised how often this happens. Especially when one of the men are trying to land a deal with the other, like a half naked chick will seal the deal. They were one of m favourite types though as their attention was on business more than me and most times both parties were on their best behaviour in front of the other. Essentially it is easy money. Though there is the rare occasion were neither mind being 'frisky' in front of the other or worse they cheer each other on. I have fortunately only been in one of those situations once and security came in and kicked the men out immediately, with no refund either.

I figure I can't take another dance without a drink so I quickly rush towards the bar. The club is full, like probably over capacity full. No wonder why I haven't had a second to sit down. I swerve through the crowds of people, the bar in my sights.

"You free for a private dance baby?" A voice slurred in my ear as a hand grabs my arm, stopping me in my tracks.

"Sure am." I say trying to keep the disgust out of my voice. "If you put your selection in on the application I'll be there soon."

"I can't wait." He smirks, his hand dropping from my arm. I try to give him a sexy smile as I continue on to the bar.

"You look like you're having a great night." Cooper comments sarcastically as I finally reach the bar.

"My patience is wearing so thin." I groan. Without even asking Cooper pours me a shot. "Thank you."

"I wasn't aware you had patience." He laughs.

"Oh I do, but it has never been great. That's why my deal with Callie that I get to choose who I dance for is ideal. I totally forgot what it was like to dance for all the perves." I swing the shot back and swallow it whole.

"What? Why aren't you being picky tonight?"

"We are short staffed and as you can see packed, I have to pick up some of the slack." I say rolling my eyes and than gesturing for a refill.

"Callie better give you a nice bonus." He laughs while refilling my glass. "But seriously just be careful."

"I always am." I flash him a smile.

BING.

"That's my cue to go." I sigh and swallow the last shot.

"Payton." He calls as I go to turn around, I look back at him. "Come find me when we close, I'll give you a lift home. I don't want you walking alone after a night this busy."

"Thanks Coop." I smile at him, its only a 15 minute walk and I usually do it so I can get tipsy and not need to worry about if I'm over the limit. But with crowds like this when we close its often a little crazy at closing time.

I open the message for the booking, it is the guy that stopped me on the way to the bar. He's chosen preferences for my hair and outfits, at least this means his paying quite a bit for this dance. I quickly go to my changing room and pull out the outfits he has selected, maid outfit followed by the the police outfit. Typical. I dress myself in the maid outfit putting my hair in a pony tail as he selected.

I look in the mirror. Its just one night, I say to myself. With a sigh I turn and head for private room 4, this is my usual room. Max the security guard is on my room again tonight and he smiles at me knowingly, even he must have noticed that I've barely had a break. I roll my eyes at him showing that I'm over tonight and then flash him a smile.

I slip into the small change room and put down the police outfit he's selected and take a breath before setting up the iPad that I have started and putting on his selected music. I open the curtain and walk in, going directly to the pole. He is sitting on the lounge, his eyes red from alcohol and filled with lust. He had one hand over his crutch and wasn't even trying to hide that he was hard and the other hand around a beer.

"I've been waiting for you baby." He slurred.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." I said forcing myself to be flirty. I climb the pole and try to focus on the moves instead of him. I can see his hand rubbing his crotch from the corner of my eyes and try my hardest not to be sick or let the disgust show on my face.

I slide down the pole, landing in a split he whistles at that and I flash him a wink, internally shuddering. I do some moves on the floor before using the pole to slowly coming back to standing. I walk over fretting I need to do next, his eyes light up as I straddle him. I slowly do some moves to the best of the music, doing my best to ignore the bulge rubbing against me. His hands quickly grab my chest and I push off him.

"Sorry sir but no touching." I say trying to smile still, I turn back towards the pole, not willing to go back to actually giving him a lap dance just yet, when suddenly his hand grabs my arm again pulling me to him.

"Come on baby, don't be like that. How much for the full exclusive?" He asks his hand grabbing between my legs. I use my free arm to pull back and hit him in the nose, his hands go straight to his nose freeing me.

"We don't do that in this establishment." I spit out. His eyes look like they are blazing now as if this has turned him on even more. Ew. He grabs me and pushes me against the wall.

"You're a stripper, don't try to pretend you have standards now. I asked you nicely how much?" The curtain flies open as Max storms in eyes blazing.

"Get off her." He growls. The clients grip loosens enough that I can get a good kick in, so I do, my knee hitting his groin causing him to drop to his knees. Max gives me a proud smile before grabbing the guy and lifting him up, holding his arms tight behind his back. "Apologise." He growls.

"Sorry." The perve spits out. Max pulls him out of the room. He turns back and looks at me.

"You okay?" He asks shooting me a sympathetic look.

"Yeah, I was overdue for a freak I guess." I laugh, it was true I hadn't had someone try to do anything for a long time which was rare in this industry. Max nods at me and then walks out, dragging the guy with him.

I sit down on the lounge trying to take in what just happened. It could have been worse if Max hadn't been paying attention so I am very grateful for him. I sigh as I get up, fixing my clothes and hair and than make the decision to head back for another drink. I know it's not the wises choice, I try to keep my drinks to a minimum but after that I need something to help take the edge off before I storm out and go home.
