At the top of the stairs he got Nick, the bouncer, to let him into one of the rooms. As he started to pass through the door Nick held open, he declined the condom the bouncer held between two fingers. “No thanks. Got my own.”

Bottom’s Up provided excellent benefits and a safe working environment. The girls never had to do anything they weren’t comfortable doing. Having sex with customers wasn’t a requirement for their job, unlike when Chet was the manager here. The fucker forced the dancers to have sex with him in his office in order to keep their jobs. The worst part was when he lured them to his office under the guise of needing to discuss something work related. He’d manipulate them into having sex with him and the bastard would video tape it and send it to his fellow Phantom Furies to watch. Yeah, having a Phantom working in a club owned by the Sons for as long as he did still stuck in everyone’s craw. He still didn’t understand how that hadhappened. All that mattered was Kylie was able to get the Sons their money back, delete any videos of the women circulating around the internet and Chet was stone cold dead.

When Avery came up to this room, Jed wouldn’t force her into having sex with him or make her feel she had to just because he was part owner. He would feel her out to see if she was willing to take things all the way or if she would strictly stick to a lap dance. Whatever she decided, it was her decision in the end. If he were a customer and decided to push things further than the woman was willing to go, one of the bouncers in the VIP section would be in the room tossing his sorry ass out and then ban the man from ever returning to the club again. His picture would go up on a wall next to the front door as a reminder for the crew to not let him back inside. If the man pushed it, the club gave the staff at Bottom’s Up permission to kick the fucker’s ass. If the idiot still didn’t get the message, the Sons would pay him a visit he would never forget.

Looking around the room, he took it in as if it was the first time he was seeing it. It was purposely dark and decadent. Everything from the furniture to the colors was meant to make you want to lose all inhibitions and enjoy the hedonistic persona inside you. They’d let the women who’d be bringing customers up here have a hand in designing everything.

Against the wall, directly in front of him was a king-size bed covered in black satin sheets and pillows. To his left was a deep red leather couch with a black enamel coffee table in front of it. To his right a matching red leather armless chair sat facing a dance pole. The walls and ceiling were black with neon blue rope lighting around the perimeter at both the ceiling and floor. There was also small white lights in the ceiling making it feel like the night sky. The floor was a medium gray and bare of any rugs or carpet. He decided to have a seat in the armless chair and wait since he’d asked for a lap dance. If he could talk her intomore, they’d move to the bed. And after seeing that raven beauty dance, he’d love nothing more than fuck her in that bed. Tonight was his last night in Redemption for a while and rolling in the sheets with her would be a perfect send off.

The door swung open and Avery entered, now dressed in a short-sleeved green dress that was tied closed under her left breast. Her hair was free of ponytails and she wore silver strappy high-heeled sandals. She still wore the same stage makeup and he thought that was a shame. He’d like to see her face clear of makeup. He bet she was even prettier without it.

She closed the door behind her, but didn’t move any farther into the room. “Hi. Violet said you wanted a lap dance?”

“Yes.” He remained seated in his chair, his hands on his thighs.

“I should probably give you a heads up. I only give lap dances. Nothing else. If you’re in the mood for something else, I can get one of the other girls for you.” She hitched a thumb over her shoulder and nibbled her lower lip like she was nervous.

“No. All I want is a lap dance.”

“Okay.” She smiled and appeared to relax a little. Not much, but a little. She moved to the mini jukebox hanging on the wall close to the door and pushed some buttons, picking a song. Genuwine’s “Pony” started playing through the speakers.

Jed liked the song. It was smooth and sensuous. He could hardly wait to see what she’d do with it.

“What’s your name?” He already knew that, but for some reason, he felt compelled to get her to talk to him. Any other time, he’d sit back and enjoy the show, no talking required.

“Avery.

“Jed.”

“Nice to meet you, Jed.”

This close up she was taller than he expected. On stage, her already long legs had looked even longer in the high heels.Seeing her now, he guessed her height to be around five feet eight inches when she took her shoes off. With the shoes, she would be only a couple of inches or so shorter than him. He loved a tall woman. It meant he didn’t have to bend in half to kiss her. Not that he’d be kissing Avery today.

With her eyes closed, she slowly swayed to the music, almost as if lost in her own little world. She ran her hand down the side of her head, down her smooth cheek, along her neck, between her gorgeous tits and skimmed it off her hip. She did a slow turn with an exaggerated move of her hips thrown in for good measure. With her back to Jed, she slowly moved her hips from side to side for several beats. He held his breath, all of his attention on her ass. It was like she was trying to hypnotize him with her ass. He had to clench his hands into fists to keep from reaching out and grabbing on, which was against the rules. Even if he was part owner, he wouldn’t break the rules in his own club.

Facing him again, she settled her hand on his chest, then walked around behind him, her hand skimming his body as she completed the circle. She did a sway and a dip at his side, then swung a leg over his lap and settled her hands on his shoulders. He held his breath as he got an up close and personal view of her cleavage and wondered what she’d do next. As far as lap dances went, she was pretty damn good so far. His gaze raised to Avery’s and found one side of her mouth hitched up in a smirk. She was fucking teasing him and he liked it. A lot.

As she stepped back, her hands went to the tie on her dress. His heart rate sped up and his dick, already hard enough to pound nails, filled further. Was he sweating?

She pulled the two sides apart and held them open, giving him a clear view of her black lace bra and matching thong. He knew it was a thong without seeing the back because that’s what all the women wore while at work. That and g-strings. She let the dress slide from her arms and pool at her feet. Her eyes droppedto his lap and swallowed hard. There was no way she couldn’t see how turned on he was right now and it was his turn to smirk.

She spun, bent at the waist and skimmed her hands up her long slim legs while watching him over her shoulder. Fuck me. Jed could see a wet spot on the small crotch of her thong. She was as turned on as he was. He fought back a groan and continued to watch with baited breath.

She turned back toward him, straddled his lap once more and sat down. Right. On. His. Throbbing. Cock. He gritted his teeth and silently begged for mercy. Her tight nipples were right in his face. Oh, how he wanted to lean forward and take one in his mouth.

Avery’s hands once again went to his shoulders and he could have sworn he saw them shaking before they settled. This close up he could see her almond-shaped eyes were a dark chocolate brown fringed in black lashes. He couldn’t tell if they were real or fake. All he knew was they showcased her eyes perfectly. He also noted a little raised area close to the right corner of her mouth. She’d covered it with makeup and he figured it was probably a zit she was trying to hide. He didn’t know if women her age got zits, but he guessed having to wear so much makeup all the time might cause them.

She circled her hips and bumped into his dick. Her eyes flared and her breath caught for a brief second. She did it again. He wasn’t sure if she was trying to get some kind of reaction out of him or not. She did it again. His hands settled on her hips, unable to keep from touching her any longer. He couldn’t decide if he wanted to help her continue with this seductive ride or stop her and push her off.

The song continued, pulling them both deeper under its spell. With that half-lidded gaze set on him, he had no doubt that if someone could eat him alive with just a look, Avery would be the one to do it. What she did next shocked the shit out of himand caused his breath to stick in his chest. She took one of his hands from her hip and placed it over her tit. He didn’t know who was more shocked by the move, her or him. A small growl escaped as she picked up the pace with which she was riding him and started grinding him harder.

When this turned from a lap dance to a dry hump, he had no idea, but he wasn’t going to stop it. She circled her hips, biting into her lip as she seemed to be desperately searching for something and was determined to get it. He gripped her tighter and slid lower in the chair, bringing her forward so she was directly on top of his dick. He rocked her back and forth, faster and harder, his eyes glued to hers the whole time. He was going to get her off and he wanted to see her face as she came.

Just as he suspected, she was stunning when she let go and found her orgasm. She threw back her head and moaned deep as she rode it out. His cock was aching for release, but he wasn’t going to push things with her. He saw the exact moment realization sank in at what she’d just done. What she allowed to happen after saying she only did lap dances. He’d be willing to bet she’d never done anything like what they’d just shared with any other customer. Sure, she hadn’t been there that long, but that didn’t stop some of the women who worked here.

“Oh my god!” Her eyes were huge in her face. She jumped up and backed away. She took a quick glance at his still aroused state and shook her head.

“Hold on, now.” Jed raised a hand to try and calm her. “I’m not asking for any kind of payback. Although, I wouldn’t turn it down.” He added the last as a joke. Seeing the freaked out expression on her face, he could say with certainty that it didn’t go over well.
