Kelsey sat on the metro hunched in on herself, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible in her baggy hoodie and sweatpants. It was her way in public. She tried to make herself unnoticeable, just another body on the train, no one worth looking at twice, no one worth noticing. Being small and inconspicuous had always kept her safe, as did the loose clothing and wide hood she always wore. If no one could see her, they wouldn't try to talk to her. It would be exactly the opposite as it was at work. At work they saw her. They saw everything. It was what they paid for, after all.
But the crowds at work were off limits. She'd learned from the mistakes of her coworkers. Customers made bad boyfriends. Still. Sometimes she got worked up. Sometimes the eyes on her bare flesh, the gropes in the champagne room, rubbing her body against some guy to get him aroused... sometimes it got her worked up, too. Honestly, it was ninety five percent acting. She just did what she did, pretended to be aroused, turned on, into the guys, collected the money, and left. Truth be told, getting aroused almost never happened. But when it did, when her imagination took over and she started thinking and letting her mind fill in blanks she hadn't intended to leave, she got it bad.
Right now, she had it bad. There had been a guy there, exactly her type. Tall, muscled but not too much, just cut, fit. He looked like his body would be hard. He'd been watching her, but hadn't come up to the stage when she danced. His friends had paid for the champagne room, and he'd come along, but he remained quiet, just watching, never touching, never saying anything disrespectful. She had been back there with Tonya and Missy, but his eyes had remained on her throughout their time in the back room. Missy had let a guy tittyfuck her, and Tonya had been the blowjob queen, but Kelsey had jut danced and looked enticing. The whole time he stared, grinning, as if they shared some secret.
At first she had been annoyed. She wanted him to stop staring. But that knowing look, that secret smile, something about the way he looked at her had fired her imagination. She'd started to pay attention to him, and by the end of the night, she was dancing just for him, although she'd never have admitted that to anyone. She had taken off her dance outfit thinking of him watching her, and the thought had aroused her. She hadn't been naked in front of him, at least not fully. She hadn't been one of the stars in the champagne room, just a side dancer to keep the atmosphere charged.
Now, sitting by herself on the train with half a dozen others up in the other end of the car, she remembered the way he looked at her. He'd been so focused, so intense, so... hot. She'd wanted him. She'd thought about him touching her. She never thought about customers. They were just boys to be teased and milked for cash. But he had someone caught her attention in the one place where all her defenses were up and she could resist anyone.
The train slowed at the next stop down from the club. She waited, looking up as a couple people got off and one person got on. One tall, fit, cut man with intense eyes. It wasn't him, but it looked a little like him, and she could feel the fantasy taking shape in her head. He'd asked about her, found out what train she took home, made a point of being on the same train.
He looked at her, barely able to see her face inside that big hood, but he must have liked what he imagined he saw, because he sat on the bench beside her, leaving an empty seat or two between them.
