AUTHOR'S NOTES: The background and setting in the first part of this story are real. The club in San Diego exists, and a dancer there uses the stage name "Tabitha". I have used that name with her permission and at her request; with some compression for literary reasons, the verbal exchanges and other interactions in the first part of this story actually happened. The second part of the story, however, is my own personal fantasy. After considerable conversation with her, I am profoundly convinced that the woman known as Tabitha is neither a prostitute nor an easy lay; she is an honest, hard-working single parent who is willing, and fortunately for her able, to support herself and her child as an entertainer who takes off her clothes and dances. We did not discuss this point, but I suspect that she spends a lot of time fending off unwanted advances from men, many of them too young to legally consume alcohol, who confuse fantasy with reality. I have the utmost respect for her, and I am honored to have made her acquaintance. In editing this work I removed over 900 expository words from the first part that mostly describe the interior of the club and various aspects of its operation but are not essential to the overall story. I will be happy to e-mail an RTF copy of the longer version of this work, which also retains the italics used for inner thoughts and emphasis, to anyone who requests it; the text of the second part of both versions is identical. Aside from reflecting my philosophy with regard to erotic power exchange, and my perceptions of, reactions to, and interactions with Tabitha in the first part of this story, all other aspects of the characters, and their activities as depicted in this work, are completely fictitious. Comments and feedback to Topspace4@aol.com are welcome. ***** ***** ***** ***** Tabitha By MountainTop ***** ***** San Diego is a Navy town, and, like most military towns, it has its share of strip clubs. I was there on a business trip, and I needed some R&R, so I browsed through the phone book and picked a club by the simple expedient of being able to find its street on my Hertz map of the city. The local law in San Diego is that nudity means no alcohol in the club and the dancers, when exposing even as much skin as one would see at the beach, must be at least six feet from their customers. When doing a non-nude couch dance, a girl can brush her hands or body against or otherwise touch a customer, but the converse is absolutely verboten; these clubs are paranoid about losing their licenses, and touching the girls is a surefire way for a customer to get himself bounced. The Beach Boys got it right; California girls are special. While this club has a sprinkling of thunder-thighs and pneumatic centerfold candidates, the majority of the dancers here are slender, firmly-toned hardbodies. Some of them dance to slow songs, while others choose more up-tempo cuts, but the end result is the same, an impressive display of luscious young female flesh for an overwhelmingly male audience. I'm happily married, and I visit such clubs when I travel to pass some otherwise lonely time. I watch the girls dance, I buy a few drinks for some of them, and I try to strike up intelligent conversations; the chances are that at least one is kinked the way I am. Occasionally I get lucky; some dancers advertise their orientations, and I thought things might be looking up when a girl mounted the stage wearing a spiked collar. After she had danced her way down to the bare essentials, she was wearing the collar, high heels, and a set of chain-connected, tweezer-type nipple clamps. I tipped her as she left the stage and invited her to join me for a drink. Initial appearances can be misleading, though, and I've found it's a good idea to proceed with caution. "You were wearing some interesting adornments. Are they for real, or just for show?" "Oh, they're for real," she said. "Do you play?" Nothing subtle here, I thought, but I never hesitate to make my situation known. "My wife and I both play," I told her. "How long have you been in the scene?" "A couple of years," she replied. "I started when I was sixteen." Then I fell into the first-impression trap. "Do you have a regular top?" "I used to bottom," she said with a smile, "but I just top now. I'm thinking of becoming a pro Domme. Which way do you play?" This eighteen-year-old with visions of sugar-plum dollar-signs still has a few things to learn, I thought to myself. Like the fact that collars are a symbol of submission, and Dominants who understand what they're into don't wear them. "I top," I said dryly. We had now ruled out any possibility of mutual play-interest. Each DJ at the club is a combination of a music-and-lights controller and a carnival barker. I had pretty much tuned out the current one's pitch until something changed in his tone. "And now," he announced with a heightened vocal fervor, "the 1995 showgirl of the year . . ." I perked up a bit. In a place like this, I thought, the showgirl of the year, even from a couple of years ago, should be worth a look. ". . . and the 1996 and 1997 Po'Lympics champion . . ." What the fuck is a Po'Lympics? But I had no time to puzzle that out. ". . . this is . . ." A long dramatic pause, then, in a voice lowered half an octave in pitch and reduced to a hoarse whisper, ". . . Tabitha!" I watched a slim woman stride confidently up onto the stage on open-toe spike-heeled mules, the difference between heel and platform heights at least five inches, and I knew instantly that Tabitha was as different from the other dancers as night from day. Blonde hair a shoulder-length shag rather than a mane, disdaining a lingerie-style outfit in favor of a short, shimmery dress, older, more mature, and totally comfortable in her milieu, Tabitha moved with a poised, vibrant energy. She quickly demonstrated, with feline grace and lithe athleticism, what the term Po'Lympics meant; some girls had used the stage-to-rafters brass poles as occasional dance props, but for Tabitha they were erotic weapons, and her charismatic blend of bold sauciness and sinuous sensuality was bewitching. The ambient tension had suddenly become electric; conversations died, and I sensed the atmospheric change as her animal magnetism grabbed and held the focus of every person in the room, dancers and customers alike. Five breathtaking minutes later, Tabitha slipped back into her dress and left the stage. I pushed my heart back down from my throat by sheer will-power, sipped at my coke, and tried to redirect my thoughts by asking the Domme wannabe still seated beside me, "Do any of the girls working here bottom?" "A few." She mentioned a couple of names, and then she blew me completely away when she said, ". . . and Tabitha, from time to time." I couldn't believe my ears. "Tabitha? Tabitha bottoms?" "That's right," she confirmed, and I discovered that the minimum time needed for the mind to transform a mild vanilla attraction into a raging D/s-bdsm fantasy can be too short to measure with anything less precise than an atomic clock. I declined to buy the collared lady another drink, so she left to prowl the rest of the room. When Tabitha came out of the dressing room, I offered to buy her a drink and she sat down beside me. She drank coffee as we talked, and I learned some things about her. Eventually, I turned our conversation in the direction of my fantasies. "I understand you sometimes bottom," I said as casually as I could manage. Tabitha nodded. "I love a good flogging. The endorphins cut in and I just drift away; I have no idea where I am or what's happening around me." We talked about different kinds of play, she shared a couple of her previous experiences, and we discussed creative ways to avoid, for obvious reasons, marking her during a scene. I had no idea where the conversation might end up, but I do have one unusual method of putting prospective play-partners at ease. "I write scene stories," I told her. "Would you be interested in reading some of them?" "Sure," she replied. "I like to read, but I haven't found much along those lines." "Wait here," I said, "I'll be right back." I went out to my rental car, grabbed a manila envelope, and was back inside in less than a minute. As I handed her the envelope, I explained, "Both of these stories are reality-based." Tabitha surprised me by opening the envelope, pulling out the pages, and starting to read. She quickly became absorbed, and I could tell from her non-verbal reactions that she was relating to the female narrator of my first-meeting story. After a few minutes, she stopped reading and put the stories back in the envelope. I looked at her questioningly, and she said, "I'll finish reading it later, at home. I'm getting to the good part now." I had to chuckle at that; she had gotten past the build-up to the actual first-meeting scene, and it was apparently starting to turn her on. A few more customers had drifted in, and I wanted to spend more time with her. One feature of this club is that a customer can "rent" a dancer for a half-hour of relatively private interaction. All within the rules, of course, but there's a back room with a small stage, leather couches, and lower volume from the sound system. When I told Tabitha I wanted a rental, her response gave me a warm feeling. "I don't like to do that when the club is busy," she told me. "I can usually make more in the time of 10 to 12 songs out here, but for you I'll do it." She took my hand and led me to the room, pointed out her favorite couch, and sat on the edge of the stage across from me while we sipped our drinks. We continued our conversation, and after about twenty minutes she asked if I wanted her to dance for me. I'd not yet seen Tabitha do a couch dance, and I was eagerly anticipating the experience, but I had been sitting a long way from the stage and my eyesight is not the greatest. "I'd like you to dance nude for one song," I told her, "so I can see all of your beauty up close. Then you have to get dressed again, because I want to be even closer to you." How corny can you get? I told myself. Still, her smile looks awfully genuine; under the circumstances, perhaps she can accept sincere, non-drooling flattery as a compliment. Beauty is in the eyes and the mind of the beholder, and I won't even attempt to describe how beautiful Tabitha looked to me as she stepped onto that small stage and started to move in a slow, sensual way. The dancer out on the main stage who had selected the next song unwittingly cooperated; the music was a soft, gentle ballad that was just what my fantasy needed. She teasingly lifted her skirt for just a moment, flashing the thong she wore underneath, then made love to the brass pole in a way that made me achingly aware of my fantasy desire. When she whisked the dress up and off over her head, I saw for the first time that Tabitha had more than just a tongue piercing; there was a delicate silver dumbbell at the base of her semi-erect left nipple. She turned her back, bending over to waggle her firm behind at me, and slowly slid the thong down over her sleek thighs and shapely calves. When she gracefully collapsed onto the stage and opened her legs in a startlingly shy-like manner, I caught sight of a second delightful surprise, a tiny gold ring at the midpoint of her left inner labium. I leaned forward, straining to memorize every line, every curve, every square inch of her body. After that song ended, she dressed quickly. I confess that I remember few details of her physical movements during one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had. My most vivid recollections are of her face, so close that I could count the tiny pores in her skin; her bright blue eyes, gleaming with the inner knowledge of the gift she was bestowing by her presence; her hair, brushing lightly along my arm as she changed positions across my lap; her lips, moist and oh-so-kissable with their bright pink gloss; and the heady ambrosia that is the scent of a woman who is keenly aware of her own sexuality. ***** Continued in Part 2 . . . -- +--------------' Story submission `-+-' Moderator contact `------------+ | story-submit@qz.little-neck.ny.us | story-admin@qz.little-neck.ny.us | | Archive site +--------------------+------------------+ Newsgroup FAQ | \ .../assm/faq.html> /
