She went out for a few minutes, waiting at the top of the staircase. Looking around the dark street trying to make up her mind. What was broken inside of her led her back into the club. She set her self up. Straight leg jeans and a simple blouse, thin brown hair. Thin sleek body. Young and plain. Still, she was younger than most women in the club, and young is enough. Again in the back of the club. Crossing her arms, moving around a bit. Sitting by yourself is an invitation. Cruisers approach her one after another. Eventually, what she waited for begins. He is a broad shouldered brooklynite. Black haired with a poor complexion. He works her foot after she gives her permission, his fingers kneading, working the toes, the ridged parts. It makes no difference to her who he is. He has hands, a mouth. He will do everything she wants, everything she lets him. She needs to do nothing but receive. It's her first time, she goes too far. Lets him do more than she intended. The jeans come off. Bare thighs separate. His hand works between them. Sweat drips onto her stomach. His breath is on her stomach. His tongue penetrates her. She traps his head with her legs. She looks up. A crowd presses in around the two of them. Hands grip exposed members. The crowd pushes in further. A hand lifts her shirt. Someone warns the others to back up. Someone is sitting next to them. She'd forgotten. Her arm is extended. Her hand finds warm flesh. Guided to warm flesh. Sitting next to her, but. she wants, needs. She doesn't understand what makes it so satisfying. It makes her nervous. It adds to the satisfaction. His mouth works on her as she closes her eyes. She opens her eyes again. Looking into the hungry faces around her. She arches her back a little. Involuntary ripples of her stomach. Finished between her legs, he rises up. He lays on top of her. He kisses her mouth. She tastes herself, and other things. Stale, sweet. She can't see anything. His body blocks her vision. Not seeing anyone, it seems like she is alone. His weight is familiar. Pressing down onto her like. a memory she can't acknowledge. It goes on for a while. At one point she straddles his legs, her back turned to the crowd. The voyeurs never leave. If they can't be touched, at least they can watch. It's her first time. But she's been looking for this place for a long time. She started looking before she knew what she wanted to find. The club doesn't advertise. She found it like everyone else. Like water seeking it's own level. When it's over, she adjusts her clothes self consciously. She walks to the bathroom. Inside, she looks into the mirror. Afraid for just a moment. It's still herself looking back. She feels... something. She smiles, laughs back at her reflection. All of this suits her. Really, she's been seeking this for her whole life. She is beginning to fall.
