It was cold inside the meat locker as Eerin tossed slabs of meat further onto the cooling tables.  She hefted a half a slab of beef over her shoulder and carried it toward a ceiling hook where she threaded the hook beneath the shoulder bone of the carcass.  Stepping back, she watched as it swung dangling before her eyes.  Glancing at the clock over the exit, she noted it was nearly five pm.  She drew off the heavy weathered gloves she wore to handle the meat and made her way back toward the freezer door.  It was only twenty-eight degrees in the cooler but all the activity of unpacking this last load of meat had worked Eerin into a heavy sweat.   

T.G.I.F, she noted to herself as she remembered the plans for tonight.  She and some of her girlfriends were going to the G Spot to watch the new dancers strip.  It had been some time since she had seen naked women and she wondered if she would be able to restrain herself from reaching out and touching their bodies.  Eerin walked to the time clock and punched out.  As she did, her manager trotted over and blocked her exit from the building. 

“Hey Eerin.  Big load just came in and I kinda hoped you would unload it before leaving for the weekend.”  

She looked over at some of the men lounging against the wall watching to see her response.  “Not tonight Mario.  Got a hot date and nothing is gonna get between me and some ass and tits.” 

The men snickered as they watched Mario turn first pink then flaming red.  He stuttered and waved his hands, signaling for her to go ahead and leave. 

She laughed aloud as she quickly ran out of the room and hopped on her motorcycle.  With a quick kick, she was roaring down the road, heading toward home to get showered and dressed to go out in less than two hours.

Liv leaned over the dressing table as she put the final changes to her lips.  She looked in the mirror, finally satisfied that she looked the best that she could.  Her lips were coral red and gleaming with that new wet look lip-gloss.  She straightened up and checked her undergarments one more time before slipping into her costume.  She had on a red bikini thong that barely covered her maidenhead.  Its single strap rode the crack of her ass and made her look naked from the back.  Two glimmering red disks covered her nipples and areolas.  She slid a skimpy bra over the disks, covering them and nothing more.  Moving across the room, she slid into a pair of breakaway pants and pulled on a matching jacket to cover the bra.  Liv slipped her feet into 4-inch high black heels that blended into her pants.  She slicked her silver hair back, making her look like a handsome young man instead of the sexy woman she knew she was.  She was ready as she turned and walked toward the back of the stage. 

Eerin paid her cover charge and followed the other women into the club.  They stood gathered together until one of them spotted a table toward the center of the room.  Janice hooked her arm through Eerin’s and pulled her toward the table.   

“Come on honey, let’s get us a chair.” 

Janice was Eerin’s best friend but she could never stop herself from flirting with Eerin.  She knew it embarrassed Eerin and it was all the more reason she continued to tease her. 

Janice was beautiful.  She was tall and slender with curly flowing brown hair.  Her golden eyes gleamed with excitement as she looked around the room.  There were many women in the club and Janice knew there would be someone who would love to go home with her this evening.  Her body tingled as she thought of the excitement she was going to have later tonight.  Nothing satisfied her more than caressing a wonderfully warm female body.  More than one look and smile was cast her way as she looked around the room.  She knew she looked good and played her looks to her advantage, taking what she wanted from the other women.  She made note of several good prospects as she waited for the floorshow to begin. 

“You look like a shopper in a meat market,” Eerin leaned over and whispered in her ear. 

“Oh damn, I am and I don’t know which cut to select.  I would love to sample them all.” She laughingly replied.  

Janice looked back at Eerin and wondered again, why she couldn’t just be attracted to Eerin.  Eerin was as tall as she was but very muscularly built in an attractive manner. She drew many wandering eyes in her direction also but seemed oblivious to the stares.  Her black hair was short and spiked giving her a rugged look.  Her deep blue eyes were the mirror of her soul and all the softness she tried to hide could be seen deep within their depths.  Her voice was low and sexy.  She spoke with a smooth Southern drawl making many women lust after her for her tone alone.   

It had been some time since Janice had seen Eerin attempt to pick anyone up in the bars they frequented.  She knew that Eerin believed in knowing her partners before jumping into bed with them.  After all, how many times had they argued over that very issue as Janice was usually just the opposite in favor of hopping and asking questions later.  Janice knew if Eerin ever found that one, hot woman that she couldn’t live without, her behavior would also change.

The lights blinked several times as the milling women were giving signals to return to their tables, as the show was nearly ready to begin. 

Liv stood behind the curtain and peeked out at the audience.  It was nearly standing room only again. It always took her breath away to know that many women came to see their show.  She loved women more so than the rest of the dance team.  All her relationships were with women where most of the other dancers went home to their boyfriends.  Liv didn’t want a man.  She wanted the wondrous touch of a woman, a mind and body that so matched her own. 

Looking outward around the room, Liv spotted a table with several women crowded around on chairs.  One woman stood out from the others.  She was beautiful with long chocolate brown hair.  Her eyes even from this distance looked like a big cats, with their golden glaze crinkling up in laugher at something she said to the woman seated next to her.  Liv glanced quickly to see with whom she was sharing her laughter.  She noted the attractive woman next to her with the black hair and dark blue eyes but her stare returned to the brown haired beauty.  She wanted to meet her.  Maybe… just maybe that desire would come true after the show.  

Liv noticed the lights blinking as she drooled after the woman who caught her eyes.  She pulled back and returned to the dressing room to join the rest of the dance.  The show was ready to begin.  She grabbed her dance partner and lined up ready to go on stage. 

Eerin picked up her drink and sipped it as she watched the stage.  One more night, one more wasted night, she thought to herself.  Why do I keep agreeing to come out? Do I really believe what Janice says that there is someone waiting for me, I just have to find her?  She shook her head to shake off the morose thoughts as she turned her attention back to the stage. 

The music began and a couple danced out onto the stage.  A tall sender silver haired man escorted a sexy woman with a well-stacked chest on stage.  They began dancing chest-to-chest, pelvis to pelvis as the music swung into a romantic dance.  They were perfectly matched and their bodies dipped and swayed to the music. It was as if the audience was watching them make love on stage. 

Janice loved the woman’s body.  Her eyes never left her size forty-four double D chest with its low cut halter-top.  She licked her lips as she hoped with every movement the dancer’s nipples would pop out of the top of the halter.  Janice watched the dancer’s hips as she ground her pelvis against her partner.  She made a point of looking her up after the show.   

The dancer’s partner never took her eyes off the brown haired woman at the table directly in front of the stage.  She looks even better up close; Liv thought as she twirled her partner away and then pulled her back tight against her body.  They circled the stage, teasing each other’s body as the music began to heat up.  Liv didn’t see the stares from the black haired woman while she kept her gaze fastened on the woman next to her.   

Eerin squeezed her eyes tighter together and looked hard at the man dancing with the big chested dancer.  Suddenly, she realized it wasn’t a man but a woman, leading the dancer around.  She looked carefully and finally could see the outline of her breasts beneath the loose jacket she wore.  Her lips were rouged and luscious looking, as if they were ready to be kissed.  Her silver hair was slicked flat to her head but instead of looking bad, made her look different.  Eerin realized she wanted to run her fingers through the silver hair to see what it would look like if it were fluffier.  It had been a long time since any woman interested Eerin and now, she found she wanted to know more about this person before her. 

The music changed and the dancers broke apart as their bodies began to gyrate wildly in time to the music.  The crowd watched as the man reached up and started unfastening his jacket.  Before their eyes, the sleek man changed into an even sexier woman as she dropped her jacket and danced in her red halter-top.  As the drums crashed, she reached for the waist of her pants. With one hard tug she ripped the pants from her legs and danced around in a thong so small, it barely covered any skin at all between her legs.  She turned away from the crowd and they were treated with the perfect shape of her bare, naked buttocks, shaking and quivering before their eyes. 

Eerin stared with fascination as the he /she dancer’s hot body made her own body begin to heat up.  Unbelievably her breasts tightened under her shirt and began to ache as she watched the fast moving body in front of her eyes.  She wished she could reach out and run her hands over her smooth ass.   

Eerin sat up in her chair as she realized where her thoughts were wondering.  It had been a long time since she had allowed herself to be turned on by a single body.  She picked up her drink as she tried to take her mind off the silver haired beauty gyrating in front of her table.  She looked up to see what was happening.  As she watched the woman dancing, she noticed that the dancer was watching Janice each time she turned to look into the crowd.  Eerin looked at Janice and observed that she continued to stare at the woman with the big breasts totally oblivious to the stares of the silver haired dancer.  

The music died and the dancing stopped.  Both dancers ended the routine back in each other’s arms in deep passionate kiss while the crowd cheered and called out for more.  They turned and bowed to the audience while the audience threw money onto the stage.  Both women took a few minutes to pick up the bills as they slowly walked toward the back of the curtain and off the stage. 

*** 

Liv dressed in a hurry wanting to go out front and mingle with the audience and to try to reach the table where the brown haired woman had been seated.  Her partner had already changed and left the dressing room while Liv was in the shower washing the setting gel from her hair.  She picked up the blow dryer and dried her silver crown until it was fluffy and light, bouncing gently about her head.  She finished with her hair and clothes, and spritzed a small spray of Cool Water’s over her torso as she walked out of the room. 

The crowd was thick as she made her way through them toward the bar.  She ordered a drink and stood looking around as she slowly sipped on the ice cold liquid.  Her eyes narrowed as she saw the table she was trying to pinpoint.  Her partner was already standing beside it talking with the brunette that she herself was wanting to get to know.  She carried her drink and pushed her way through the hordes of women that continued to mill around talking to everyone at one time and no one person in particular.  Women stopped Liv several times so they could express how much they enjoyed her act.  She smiled at each one, said thank you and continued pushing forward.   

Just as she neared the table, she saw the brunette stand and walk away from the table with her own partner.   

“Well, hell,” Liv said as she finally stopped next to the now partially empty table.   

“Looking for someone?” a low smooth husky voice asked. 

Liv turned back toward the table and saw the black haired woman looking up at her with a half grin on her lips.  Liv nodded and tilted her head toward the couple that was leaving the bar.   

“I was hoping to meet the brunette but it looks like my partner made it before me.  Oh well, that’s the story of my life.”  Liv turned to leave when she felt a firm hand reach out and wrap around her forearm. 

“Why don’t you have a seat for a few minutes since you finally made it over to here?  I was watching your struggle to get through the crowds.”  Eerin said as she pushed out a chair with her foot. 

Looking back at the throng of people she had just pushed out of her way, Liv proceeded to sit down, “Don’t mind if I do, at least until I can finish my drink.” 

Eerin was excited with the prospect of having the dancer sit next to her.  Now, she had to remember how to turn on her charm and flirt with this woman that so caught her attention. 

“Most people call me Eerin.  I met Beverly a few minutes ago, so I have to assume you’re Liv.”  Eerin turned toward her and smiled. 

Liv looked into Eerin’s face and noted the beauty of her eyes up close.  She listened to the warmth of Eerin’s deep voice as she spoke to her.  Her glaze ran over Eerin’s broad shoulders, thick biceps, and the way they filled out her shirt.  Her chest fit the over all look of her body without being too endowed.  Liv’s gaze returned to Eerin’s face where she caught her smiling at her.  She smiled back. 

“I guess it’s only fair that you look me over since I certainly got my stare at you while you were on stage.” 

“Well, I like what I see.  What do you do?  Are you a weight lifter?” 

Eerin laughed aloud.  “No, no weight lifting, at least not in the traditional way.  I work in a meat market and handle large slabs of meat.  Over time, the work has strengthened my muscles.  I do work out at the gym to be sure that I stay toned correctly but no competition for me.” 

“You look great.  Can I feel your biceps?”  Liv asked as she leaned closer.  Strong women were a turn on to her.  She had not noted Eerin’s physique while she had been looking at the woman that had been sitting next to Eerin.   

“Sure,” Eerin said as she propped her elbow on the table and flexed her left biceps. 

Liv reached up but was unable to wrap her hand all the way around Eerin’s bicep.  She felt the hardness of the muscles as they bunched up.  She softly stroked her hand over her bicep.  It felt firm and solid.  Eerin’s skin was warm and smooth beneath the palm of her hand.  She slowly drew her hand back, thinking about how much she liked the feeling beneath her fingertips. 

“Humm, now that I like.” She murmured as she took a sip of her drink. 

“Good, glad you do,” Eerin replied looking into Liv’s face.  “How would you like to go somewhere a little quieter where we can talk and get to know one another?”  Eerin asked tentatively. 

“That sounds like a great idea.  I know this is a little forward but would you like to come back to my apartment.  It is nearby and certainly is quiet.” 

“What about your partner?  Aren’t you afraid she may have gone back there with Janice?” 

“You mean Beverly?” 

“Yes.” 

“Oh, that is too funny,” Liv answered with a laugh.  “We’re only partners in our act.  There is no way that I would date someone with a personality like hers.  She is way to free and wild for me.” 

“I said the same thing about Janice, my friend.  Now, it makes me wish I could be a fly on the wall to see how the two actually get along.” 

“Well, if it is just sex your friend Janice wanted then you don’t have to worry.  She’ll get that and more.  You ready to go?” 

Eerin stood and moved behind Liv.  She towered over Liv and felt like a giant as she looked down seeing how small Liv really was.   

“Here.  Let me step around and open the way for us.”  Eerin stepped in front of Liv and started moving toward the door.  She could feel Liv hook her hand beneath her waistband as they walked.  It felt good. 

Within minutes, Eerin stopped on the other side of the room.  Liv bumped into her back, as she was not expecting the stop.  She laughed aloud as she moved up beside Eerin.   

“Well that was an experience.  You moved us through that crowd as if we were the only people in the room.” 

Eerin looked down at her saying, “What other people?”   

They laughed together as they walked out the door.  Neither woman knew what the future might have in store for them but each felt this was a very good beginning to what could turn out to be an enduring relationship.  Time alone would tell.  As the old Carpenter song would say, "Let's take a lifetime to say, I knew you well.  For only time will tell us so.  And love may grow, For all we know."

To be continued or not?
