Bree had to remember the two videos before she rested her backpack on the chair and moved closer to her future boss. He had shifted to the sofa for her to have a proper space for the dance.
She was glad that she was wearing her skirt and top instead of her skinny jeans. And she still kept her distance while he scrolled his phone and connected it to the Bluetooth surround system he had installed in his office. Her smile widens when she lets the rhythm of 'Familiar by Liam Payne' thump the baseline, and Bree starts moving her hips, swinging to the beats. She dipped low, her hands wrapped around her body, she twirled seductively and looked at him lazily. Her eyes hooded while she slowly unbuttoned her top. Bree smiled at him, biting her lower lip when she stepped between his legs and lower her chest teasing him the second her top was off and she offered him her bra-covered tits. The thought of doing this was millions of miles away, but there she was, moving erotically teasing the handsome man sitting still with his hands planted firmly above his knees while he calmly enjoys the strip show. Gage's eyes scanned her body, watching her intensely as her thumb hooked on the waistband of her skirt then slowly unzipped and let the skirt fall to the floor then she turns around shaking her ass adorably making him laugh. "Okay...okay, enough. You're through the next round. You can get dressed now, Bree." She grinned and thanked him but then asked, "Next round? do I need to shake the scary dude outside your door too?" Gage laughed again, this time when he gets up he adjusted his erection and didn't care if she saw him. And he was glad when he did it and saw her blushed visibly. "No Bree, next round means you go to the dressing room, get changed, and report to Jojo. Check your scheduling with her. And you better get used to men adjusting themselves after your lap dance that means you're doing great." Gage chuckled while Bree was busy putting her clothes back on. "Okay, then...um, thank you, Mr. Huxley." "Everyone calls me Gage, unless you're in my bed then you can call me Mr. Huxley." His words were seductive, but she didn't know if he was lazily flirting with her because of the business he was in, or if he was actually flirting with her. The newly hired stripper just gave him her brightest smile and exited the room after thanking him by his first name. Gage could see that she was nervous, the girl looked like she was really shy but she was definitely driven. Money. He remembered reading what was in her file and seeing the shitty amount of money her ex-husband was sending her as alimony. The woman had a kid with the guy for god's sake. He couldn't believe the things he had seen these husbands do to their exes, such a waste of women's feelings. Gage still couldn't forget about the loss of his wife and his daughter. The baby would be four this year if they both didn't passed away during labor. The thought of his late wife and baby just made his erection instantly gone, exchanged to sadness. He wallowed in his office and looked at the framed picture of his pregnant wife and the younger version of himself. So full of life, happiness, and hope. ***** "Oh my god, you did it didn't you?" Cassidy asked, her eyes glimmering with the need to know the juiciest gossip. "What did she do?" the black-haired woman asked. "Oh my god! I forget to introduce you guys, Jade this is Bree, she's our newest. Wait, Bree have you decided on your stripper name?" "Uh, you mean my name is not marketable?" she retorted making the girls laugh. "Oh, gosh no...I mean some girls would prefer a stage name because they don't want their clients to know their real name." "Cassidy is your stage name?" Bree asked her back. "Yep, I'm using my name. I have nothing to hide. This club is exclusive enough and I don't intend to do my residency in this city. I'll be long gone before anyone recognized me." She winked and tell Jade more about Bree's little daughter. Bree and Cassidy talked a lot yesterday and she had told her that she'd hook her up with fellow moms in the club. "My son is five years old. We can surely do a babysitting rotation, I'll introduce you to other moms, and we'll talk later. I'm about to go on stage. Welcome, Bree." Jade gave her a warm hug and then giggled as Bree looked positively awkward when her almost bare nipples touches her front. Cassidy shook her head and then helped her pick up Bree's attire for the night. While doing so she tells Bree that Babes is one of the few clubs that provide costumes and heels for their girls. She said something about wanting the girls to look more expensive and classy therefore the house will gain more money. All the clothes were neatly assorted, she said Jojo sends all used ones to their private laundry services after closing time, not wanting any perv stealing them and selling them on eBay. "They sell used lingerie?" "Girl, people sell everything. People are disgusting." Cassidy shuddered then she shrieked when Dee entered the room. "Yo, momma, I just heard from Rocco, congratulation!" Dee hugged her tightly. Cassidy was doing her stretching routine before she comes up to the stage and she told Bree to do the same. Dee joins and they all talk about Bree's private lap dance with their hot boss. "Damn, woman, you got him hooked." "I'm so jelly, that guy is the perfect daddy material. If only I'm not too focused on becoming a doctor I'd let him daddy me around." Cassidy giggled and Dee laughed slapping her head and telling her to go back to studying. "You're such a geek, I still don't understand how you have the moves. Are you sure you don't grow up watching p**n?" Dee asked her, smirking. "Eh, no... I watched documentaries, history, geography, and sometimes oceanic stuff." "Girl, you're scaring me." Dee shuddered visibly, teasing the nerdy stripper. "I need to go see Jojo, gage told me to check my schedule with her?" "Oh yeah, right, come on I'll take you to her. I need to rearrange my schedule with her now that you're here." Dee tugged Bree closer and said, "I need to match my off schedule with Rocco, we've been desperately needing to have a short trip together. It's been months." Bree was liking the new friends, they were all very welcoming. Very blunt. Not like the moms club that she used to be part of where they flaunt their newest bling and talk about their latest vacation even their husband's new car or yacht. Bree could never fit well with that crowd, she was always the outsider, never saying the right words. Though for the lack of money, because she came from money, her parents' inheritance should set her very comfortably into her dying days if she hadn't married Everett. But that was her past and here at Babes, Bree was getting a new perspective on life. For the short time she's been at the club, somehow she knows that she would fit like a glove. Bree didn't ask when Jojo puts her on the smaller stage where she'd cater to a smaller group of men. "You're starting from the bottom honey, just like everyone else. Are you good with that?" The new recruit in her realized that she still has a lot to learn about the profession, there's only so much she could learn from G****e. "Jojo, please, I still can't believe that they would have me as their dancer. I do need the money, and I trust you'll treat me well." With her words Jojo was smitten, she always likes the kind type of girls and she knows from her answer that the new recruit was one of them. Bree was determined to do the work, she had been screwed badly by her ex. She just hoped that one day, karma will turn her luck around. Until then she just needs to strip and make some erection happen, cause according to Gage that means she's great. And Bree needed those greats to make money.Gage watched Bree from his office window, he should've gone home by now but his eyes were still fixed on the new girl. She's too beautiful to be wearing lingerie and dancing for strangers. But he didn't want to scare her away by trying to have her for himself. He had a feeling she was still too fresh from her divorce. Bree was building her life back up and he didn't want to discourage her effort. He knows he's not perfect and after his lovely wife, he didn't even know if he was strong enough for a relationship. Gage rolled up his sleeves, put his suit jacket on the crook of his arm then looked at his gold wristwatch showing him it was already one in the morning. The boss man decided to come out of hiding and go back home. But Rocco greeted him and invited him for a glass of scotch, he agreed thinking the man had something on his mind. "I heard that she did the interview." The bartender emphasized the word interview with a hint of a smile on his face. Gage knows that the girls t
Last night was definitely a new experience for Bree, though she couldn't stop the feeling that she was being watched. She did think maybe Gage was the one who watches her, but then Rocco said the boss man was telling him that since it's Bree's first week they will all keep an eye on her. "Gage thinks it's your girl next door type of look, he didn't want you to be taken advantage of." Rocco shrugged while giving Bree a glass of water when she was on her break from dancing. Jade and Bree also talked last night, they exchanged phone numbers and she invited her over to Jade's apartment before they start working today. Bree was happy to know that Jade actually lives five blocks away from her crappy apartment. But first thing first, she was going to take Hazel to buy a new toy. Yep, Bree made a hundred dollars last night minus her expenses, yeah, she actually gets to bring money home on her first day. Jojo had reminded her to pay the house fee and tips for the bartender and security, and
It has been a week since Bree became a dancer at Babes. The girls love her, Jojo hasn't complained and Rocco said she's learning fast. But the boss man, Gage, was not at all pleased with her progress, he still couldn't quite shake off the feelings he had deep in his gut towards his new dancer. That early morning it was pouring hard after closing time when Gage heard a curse from the entrance of the club. It was Bree, and she was talking to Elvis about her car that won't start. Gage knows he should not get involved but he couldn't help himself and offered her a lift back to her place. Elvis looked a bit stunned, his boss had never done that before. And Gage was fully aware that he shouldn't have offered her. He could easily tell Rocco to drop her off but he was on vacation with his girlfriend, Dee.Gage didn't trust the younger bartender and all the other girls had gone home because she was held up by Jojo for administrative purposes. Bree looked real frustrated with her car, even El
Three days later Bree was still dancing at Babes, she still takes home a good amount of money and she managed to pay another bill. But she was stacking another debt at Babes for her car, though Jojo mentioned that she has six months of an installment payment to which she can absolutely manage to cover with what she makes at the club and still pay her other bills on time. But she really wanted to be debt-free, she liked the thought of saving her money for Hazel instead of thinking about what bill to pay first each time she gathered enough money for payment. Hazel was doing better, her fever had gone down but Bree still worries. She knows she needed money and she knows Mrs. Mancini was good at what she does. Bree made a mental note to give her a bonus in the next couple of weeks. She really needs to thank her for all that she'd done for both of them. But that same day when she was taking a break and talking to Jojo in her corner little office, Bree checked on her phone and her body s
The next day Jojo had rotated Bree's schedule, she managed to give her two days off and that's all she needs. She was still new, she didn't want to get cut because she was unable to work for two straight days. And those two days were all she needed since Hazel was discharged the next day.At least she was only paying for a one-day private room, her little girl was a bit cranky the next day saying she wanted to sleep in her bed. Late that afternoon after Bree signed off on her hospital administration and got Hazel's prescription, she saw Gage by Hazel's bed with another teddy bear almost as big as her daughter.No... Bree thought to herself, she didn't need to have Gage getting closer to her daughter. She didn't want Hazel to go through another separation process. Her little sunshine gave her thousands of questions when she realized her dad wasn't going to live with them again. The questions tire her already numbed feelings and she didn't need another one where Hazel might eventually t
The next morning Bree managed to pick up Mrs. Mancini before she goes to work in the afternoon. Lexie and Ivy, the other stripper moms had called asking about Hazel. They suggested her to stay at Lexie's when they heard the news. Bree was grateful for the offer, but she felt more at ease when Mrs. Mancini volunteered to babysit for her again. "Thank you again for doing this for me." She told Mrs. Mancini once they arrived at her new apartment. The older woman was busy complimenting her new place while Hazel quickly took her spot in front of the television playing with her teddies, sitting on the very comfortable sofa. Bree still couldn't believe that the apartment came fully furnished. "Oh, Bree darling, your luck is changing, I can feel it. That boss of yours is very generous." Bree blushed the second she mentioned her boss, Gage. She had told her about him, though she had said that he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart, Bree couldn't push the feeling that there might b
"Bree, look at me." Gage cupped her face, turning her to face him. He seated her on the kitchen stool trying to clean her scrapes and pick shards of glass from the broken car window embedded in her arm. It wasn't much but he needs to make sure the wounds won't get infected. The bruise on her neck looked worse, he put medical ointment to hopefully help it heal faster. He also put some on her exposed hip, then ushered her to change to his t-shirt and pajama pants.While Bree was in the bathroom, Gage had called Mrs. Mancini and told her to pack a few days' worths of clothing for both Hazel and Bree. "I... I have to get back, Hazel..." Bree said after she was back joining him in the living room."I've sent Elvis to pick them up and escort them here, I have a spare room." Gage thought that he should not offer, he has other apartments, and he could even put her up in a hotel. But deep down he blamed himself, after all, she was attacked in the parking lot of the apartment that he rented ou
Gage doesn't kiss on the lips, he didn't like to be kissed not when it means intimacy. Those were the small moments he used to indulge when he was with his late wife. But when Bree kissed him, Gage did not retreat, he didn't want to pull back from the kiss like he always does with other women. He realized that wanted her, god knows he did, and he felt like a manipulative boss who second-guessed himself whenever Bree was near. He kept assuring himself that he would have Bree just like Jade, everything worked out between them. Gage wanted Jade and he got her out of his system a couple of months later now both kept their professional attitude and she stayed working at Babes to support her kid while Gage helped whenever he can just because he wanted to. The man thought he could do the same with Bree. From the first moment he saw her and learned about her situation he felt the great urge to be her savior, he wanted to be there for her. Badly.The knock on his front door made him get up
