His casual shirt was probably a little better than most, and he asked for a Corona with lime, half expecting to get a slice of lemon or nothing at all. Cletus had been to Turk's a few times but it was a minor indulgence. Then Tessa walked out on stage.

Her maroon short straight skirt was so typically a 'school-girl' style and the white blouse, which barely covered her large breasts, added to the school-girl image. Her pigtails were dark brown and soft. Cletus watched her as she danced and when she raised the skirt the ruffled panties were so outlandish on her lovely derriere that Cletus had to stare. She stared at him and her hand slapped her ruffled panties.

As the women finished their set they would 'work the room.' They would press their breasts together to receive the dollar tips from the men who watched so hungrily. As she stopped at Cletus' chair, he put a dollar between her full if not overly impressive breasts. Then he took a five dollar bill and tucked it into her g-string, letting his fingers brush against the tattoo there.

"I loved the ruffles. You are such a naughty girl."

"Thanks. I had the bobby socks, but I just got this new tattoo."

Looking at the Yin/Yang tattoo, Cletus was not impressed but he smiled. "And what is this one?" he asked, indicating the larger tattoo above her right pubic bone.

"Tis a Black Rose. A Celtic symbol. For 'to your own self be true.'

"Thanks."

She looked into his eyes, and smiled as she walked up to the white haired gentleman who couldn't wait to press his dollar between her breasts and into the center of her g-string. Cletus watched her walk away.

Later, between sets, Cletus approached the young woman.

"Excuse me, do you do...... contract work?"

"Do I do what?" she asked, almost rudely.

"Please. Nothing bad. I loved the way you looked in your ruffled panties. There are some adult clubs in the city that cater to a ... certain clientele. I really would love to go there but I feel funny going alone. I will pay you a reasonable fee to be my...escort. "

"Escort, is it, then? And just what do you expect this escort to be doing in this private club of yours?"

"It isn't mine! I don't even have a membership. I just think it would be interesting."

"Excuse me?"

"When would you be wanting to do this?"

She thought about it for a bit.

"Thursday isn't too big a night. Two hundred dollars, and no guarantee of sex."

Two nights later, Cletus pulled his Lexus, dark blue with a medium blue interior, up to the club. Tessa was waiting. She looked totally hot in a latex sheath that was not exactly what Cletus had hoped for. He hid his disappointment well.

The club was a nondescript building between 12th and 13th streets off of Walnut. If you did not know the password, you could not get in. Cletus knew the password.

The inside was nothing like the outside. The reception area was like the parlor of a Victorian Mansion. People sat about, talking and sipping wine and acting as though this were just another parlor.

"Glass of wine?" He asked.

Tessa nodded, with a small smile that invited him to please her.

The wine was a nice sauvignon. She nodded, as though she drank such wines every day. Taking her arm, Cletus led her through
