1 First Night on the Town

The sun was setting as two figures walked towards the run down building in front of them, just before reaching the worn wood door the one paused, "What are we doing here again?" She was a tall girl, taller than most females of her species, with a slim, athletic figure. She wore a grey hoodie and blue jeans, a fluffy orange fox tail could be seen swishing softly. She had brown hair on her head pulled back into a ponytail while two fluffy ears poked out the top. Her skin was pale as she didn't get outside very often. Her eyes caught the fading sunlight and gleamed green-blue as she looked at her friend.

The friend glanced back at her without stopping, "Kiara, you've been so busy with your college classes and working that it's making you grumpy, you need to get out and take a break!" She said exasperated as she reached for the handle to pull open the door. The friend was similar in both height and appearance to Kiara except instead of brown hair it was jet black with blue streaks, cut short and sexy, and her eyes were bright green. She also wasn't hiding her figure she was flaunting it with a tight black shirt and bright colored mini skirt, a blue jean jacket topping it off.

They entered into a large room, around the edges were a few sporadic chairs and small rickety tables, with a large space in the middle left for dancing. A small folding table being used for the DJ equipment was setup on the right side against the wall next to a small bar area, while a well worn stripper pole was taking up a large space on the left of the room with circular couches surrounding it.

Kiara glanced around, taking it all in, there were a few groups of different species sitting at the small tables enjoying drinks after working all day, they looked to be in their 30s. The place had a musty smell, which she crinkled her nose at before following her friend who had headed right to the bar. The bartender was a tall man with black wolf ears and a jet black tail, his skin was well tanned and he had golden eyes which smiled as he greeted her, "Hey Lupe, haven't seen you lately, what can I get you?" Lupe tilted her head a moment in thought, " Hmm, I'll take a hard cider, and get my friend here one of those fruity drinks." The bartender nodded in understanding as he walked away.

Lupe turned towards the room as she leaned her back and elbows on the edge of the bar, taking in the sights. Kiara stood shyly next to her and she looked quietly around the room, not familiar with this sort of place. Lupe glanced over at her, "It's early enough that no one has called dibs on the pole yet, you wanna make a few bucks with me tonight?" Kiara looked at her startled, "I'm not anywhere near as bold as you to even try that!" She paused and dropped her head to look at the ground, her ears drooping slightly as she continued quietly "Plus I wouldn't even know how to.." Lupe didn't reply, she just nodded, 'it might just be time to pull you out of your shell' she thought to herself, wondering how she might be able to get her friend to loosen up a bit.

The bartender put their drinks down on the bar, Lupe glanced back at him as she reached for it, "Thanks, put it on my tab please?" The bartender nodded before wandering to his register to make a note in a small notebook to the side.

Kiara picked up the drink and sipped it apprehensively, she had never really liked the taste of alcohol but this was pretty good, she took a bigger sip and her ears perked up happily. "Let's go have a seat by the pole!" Lupe said as she pulled Kiara by the arm before she could even respond. They plopped down on the couches next to a guy with grey wolf ears and a big fluffy tail, who seemed to be around their age, he sat back on the couch with his legs wide apart, drinking a beer with one hand while staring bored at his phone.

Lupe put her drink down and grabbed Kiara's hand, "I feel like I haven't seen you in weeks, tell me how your classes are going!" Kiara started telling her friend about her upcoming assignments and juggling her job at the small shop nearby.

The guy next to them now realized he wasn't alone on the couch and glanced up from his phone to see who had joined him, 'not bad looking' he thought to himself as he sat up a little straighter on the couch, and put his phone away, waiting for a chance to sneak into their conversation. Before he had the chance though, the black haired girl suddenly jumped up onto the platform, grabbing the pole with one hand as she looked over at the DJ and waved at him. He seemed to understand and switched the music to be something a little more lively.

The sudden change in the music caught the attention of those sitting around the room who all looked over at Lupe with interest, wondering what her next move would be. One of the guys who recognized her shouted "Go Lupe! Shake it girl!" The sudden attention seemed to pump her up, she grabbed the pole with one hand and spun around quickly, as a group of guys relocated themselves to the couches around her. She skipped around the pole before jumping up, wrapping her legs around it as she leaned back, one hand holding on while the other was stretched out above her head, she made herself spin slowly around and down to the floor before turning around and rubbing her backside up and down on the pole, giving anyone who made eye contact with her a naughty smirk.

While Lupe was busy getting everyone's attention, Kiara was sipping her drink slowly as she watched her friend. It wasn't until she felt something brush against her knee that she realized the grey wolf guy had crept over to be closer to her. She was about to move further away when he spoke, "Does your friend do this often?" Kiara looked over at him and spoke up to be heard over the music and murmuring of the crowd that had begun to fill the building as it got later into the night, "Um.. I'm not really sure to be honest.. she has done it at least twice that she's told me about.."

She shrugged, noticing his ears had several earrings lining the edges, a handsome face with beautiful golden eyes catching the light caught her attention before she could turn away to look back at her friend. He spoke again, "Have you ever tried it?" Kiara looked back at him and bit her lower lip slightly as she shook her head no, "I've never been the adventurous type like her."

He gave her a sideways glance before looking up at the friend on the pole, now stripping off her jacket and twirling it above her head. They chatted for a while before he said, "I see you finished your drink, can I buy you the next one?" Kiara was caught by surprise, she looked at his face then quickly away to hide her smile, "uh sure" she replied quietly. Realizing he got an opening he offered his hand, "I'm Darren by the way." She looked at him shyly as she shook it, "I'm Kiara, nice to meet you." He grinned, as he got up, leaning towards her for a moment "Don't let anyone steal my seat before I get back." he said quickly before heading across the room to the bar.

Kiara watched him as he went, taking in the ripped jeans and black jacket he wore over a tight shirt. He looked like a handsome bad boy, the kind you enjoy as eye candy but don't date.

She was so busy with her thoughts she didn't even notice Lupe reaching down to grab her hands until it was too late. She was pulled up on stage! "W-what?!" She stammered in surprise as Lupe without hesitation swirled behind her and started grinding against her, her hands pulling at the bottom of the hoodie. "Hey boys, what should I do about this hoodie?" She called out loudly to the crowd, without hesitation they chanted back "Take. it. off! Take. it. off!" Lupe slipped her hands underneath, sneaking it up slowly as Kiara stood there dumbfounded, not sure what to do next. The hoodie slipped over her head and was thrown to the side, revealing a skin tight top with major cleavage. Suddenly it made sense to Kiara why her friend had lent her this shirt to wear out tonight.

Kiara was about to jump off the platform when Lupe grabbed her again, pushing her against the pole, her cleavage wrapped around the pole and she reached up to grab the part above her head. Lupe grinned at her, "Loosen up a little, have fun with it!" Kiara wasn't sure what she was supposed to do so awkwardly turned around and rubbed up and down against the pole with her backside like she had seen Lupe do earlier, so Lupe went to the opposite side and began mirroring her, so they rubbed against each other. The crowd went wild "Yeah baby! These girls are hot!"

After a few minutes, Kiara realized Darren had returned to his seat and was definitely checking her out. At that moment Lupe leaned in front of her to shake her ass as a guy who gave it a gentle slap and stuffed some cash into the top edge of her skirt. Other guys took the lead and stuck cash in her shirt as well while she grinned naughtily at them and thanked them with kisses on the cheek each time.

Darren sat back and watched Kiara, his arms crossed across his chest, a smirk on his face. When he caught her eye he moved towards her and offered his hand, she gladly accepted and plopped down on the couch with him while there was a collective "awww" from the disappointed onlookers. Lupe however quickly turned their attention back to her as she continued to dance for them.

Kiara sighed in relief, "thanks for that" she said while looking up at him. He smirked while handing her the drink he had gotten for her, "Once I saw how cute you were under that hoodie, I admit I wanted to keep you here for myself." Kiara's eyes went wide in surprise, as he slipped his fingers under her chin, pulling her into a quick kiss, his tongue slipped across hers for a moment before pulling away, looking into her eyes.

She was too stunned to speak, she barely knew him, but these urges inside her wanted to continue, she couldn't help herself as she leaned in and returned the kiss. Between kisses "Hey, you want to go back to my place?" Kiara pulled away a moment "But I barely know you!" He grinned in response, "then how about we change that?"

She didn't know what to say as he got up and grabbed her hoodie for her, wrapping it around her shoulders and tying it in the front as he led her towards the door, she glanced over at the stage and saw Lupe grinning at her, she gave a thumbs up before making a shooing motion, then acted as if nothing had changed as she returned to dancing for the cheering crowd.

Kiara sighed to herself, then turned her attention back to the handsome guy leading her towards the parking lot to get his car. She had never been very adventurous, but something about going home with a hot stranger sounded kind of.. well.. fun.
