Chapter 74: Lance POV

“Looking at you took my breath away.”-Michael Harris.

The maid did a great job cleaning. Now I feel comfortable putting my bag down. I called Dibs for the shower. There was no way in hell I would take a shower after him. In the shower, I think of Karma and Kay. Those two women can make any man beg for more. As I think about Karma and Kay, I start singing one of my favorite songs.

“Take my money. My house and my cars. For one hit of you. You can have it all, baby babe. 'Cause makin' love”, I sang maybe a little too loudly
“Dude get the hell out of the shower, we are going to be late”, Jake said, banging on the door.
“Give me a minute”, I yelled.
“Nope, I know your ass is in there daydreaming about Kay or Karma. Or both at the same damn time”, Jake said, and I yelled.

I got out of the shower and Jake ran right past me to jump in. I was not even wrapped in a towel when he came in. My clothes are out and ironed. Yeah, Jake really wants us to be on time. I am not sure if he is excited about going to the club or seeing Dell. I got dressed and made Jake and me some drinks while I waited for him to arrive. As the boss, I opted to wear a black three-piece suit.
After Jake got dressed, we headed downstairs to the bar as instructed by Dell.

“So, are you going to have sex with Karma tonight?”, Jake asked, drying his head.
“I am not having sex with anyone tonight", I said, annoyed he asked.
“Is that so?’, he asked.
“Well, someone is going to fuck her tonight”, he said, looking over my shoulder.
“Why would you say that?”, I asked.
“Dude turn the fuck around”, he said with a smirk.

Fuck me, Dell and Karma are walking towards us. My dick got hard, very hard. She is wearing a black lace catsuit. She is also wearing six-inch heels, red with spikes. I would love to fuck her while she is wearing the shoes. Hell, I might get a pair of those for Kay. Fuck, is this the black girl magic she has been bragging about? I am in a daze; the room is quiet. I see no one but her.

“Damn, Karma looks good. I would love to rearrange her insides", Jake said, nudging my side.
“Really dude, aren't you seeing someone? Mainly Jake”, I asked.
“Yeah, hell I might ask him to join us”, Jake said, walking to Dell with a glass in his hand.
“Hey, babe”, Dell greeted Jake.
“Karma, you look....you look..”, I tried to get my words out.
“Like a damn Goddess”, Jake said, and both Dell and Karma smiled at him.
“Yes”, I whispered, not taking my eyes off her.
"Karma girl give us a three sixty”, Dell said.

And she did. The outfit she has on fits her perfectly. I noticed the men in the bar were also looking at her with lustful eyes. I have no idea why but it bothers me that they are looking at her. I wanted to block their view of her. The possessiveness I feel is overwhelming.

“You look good yourself”, Karma said, smiling at me.
“Yeah, he wanted to walk looking like the boss he is”, Jake said. But I paid no mind to him. My eyes and thoughts are on the woman with the black lips licking her lips.
“Shall we go”, I said.

We made our way to the awaiting car. The drive to the club is long. It is in the part of town where there are no residential properties. So, the noise won't bother anyone. I can see the line for the club before we even pull up. I smile and nod, I love long lines. Long line means money and that is always good. People will spend hundreds of dollars and hours standing in a line. All just to say they were at an exclusive club. I looked and saw the manager waiting for us at the bottom of the steps.

“Good evening Mr. Logi”, Tom said.
“Good evening, Tom. I see business is booming”, I said.
“As always Sir”, he said, nodding.
“This is my cousin Jake, next to him is his partner Dell, and next to Dell is Karma, my secretary”, I said. They noticed Tom looking Karma up and down.
“Hello, Mr. Jake, Mr. Dell, and Miss Karma. Please all of you follow me”, Tom said.

We followed Tom into the club. Dell and Karma were in awe of the place. Some of you may wonder if I have announced my coming to the club. The answer is no. I texted Tom when we were leaving. I want to see what the operations look like without them being prepared for me. This is a burlesque club, not a strip club and I expect it not to look so.

The inside of the club is covered in black leather furniture. The stage is at the center of the club. Which allows everyone to have a full 360 view of whoever is on the stage. Right now, there is a woman doing a fan dance. For those of you who do not know what a fan dance is. It is something someone can see once in their life. A fan dance is an erotic dance performance, traditionally by a woman, but not exclusively. It is a form of musical interpretation.

The performer is sometimes entirely nude or appears to be so. Dancing while manipulating two or more large fans that can be constructed from many different materials, including ostrich feathers, silks, velvet, sequined, and organza fabrics. The unifying factor in all are the spins, or fan staves, that give form to this prop. And the woman who is dancing is a pro at it.

I looked around to make sure all of the women entertaining were wearing their pasties. And they are, which is good. The women in the cages throughout the club are doing their practiced routine. Karma started to walk off to explore. I noticed men looking at her, not the women there to entertain them. Grabbing her hand to tell her to stay close to me.

“Why? I want to look around”, she said.
“You can once we settle in our seats. Remember why we are here”, I said.
“Business first, Karma, then pleasure”, Dell said, smiling at Karma and me.

Tom sat with us and discussed the day-to-day running of the club. I asked him if seen my e-mail regarding the changes in reservations and food donations. He said he did read the e-mail but had some reservations about it.

“What are your concerns?", I asked.
“The staff is tired after closing. To have them back up all the left-over food seems to be a waste of time for them. Why can't we throw the food away like we have been doing?”, he said.
“Because it is wasteful and there are people in this city that are in need”, Karma said.
“We do not have the staff for that. The kitchen staff cleans an hour before we close and we still don't leave until three in the morning”, Tom said.
“How about stopping serving food two hours before closing? And whatever is left, one of the kitchen staff can pack up the food for delivery tomorrow”, Karma said.
“And who is going to deliver the food?”, Tom asked, with a slight attitude towards Karma that I do not like.
“You are, but only until the shelter can pick up the food”, I said, getting frustrated with Tom.
“Check your e-mail. There are assigned times that you can deliver the food to the shelter. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to do it. You can have someone else do it, but it has to be done. The shelter is already aware and will be expecting the food. Based on the report you sent there is always a shit load of food left”, Karma said. Damn, Karma is hot in business mode. Everyone at our table was looking at her.

“I think it is a bad idea. There is a liability to giving away cooked food and sending it off somewhere”, Tom said.
“Please enlighten me?’",I asked Tom.
“There is food poisoning for one. Allergies issues for two”, Tom said with a smirk, looking at Karma.
“You have a good point, Tom. As for the allergies, write down the ingredients on the packages. And if that is too hard for your current staff to do, then hire someone just to pack up the stuff”, Karma said.
“Miss, I am not sure what your qualifications are to be a secretary. But I can assure you it is a lot less than being a club manager”, Tom said, and I wanted to punch him.
“If you want to keep your job you will watch your tone”, I said, gritting my teeth.
“My apologies Mr. Logi”, Tom said.
“He is not the one you should be apologizing to”, Jake said.
“My apologies, Miss. Karma”, Tom said, and no one believed him.
“Have some food and drinks brought to us”, Karma said, dismissing Tom like a boss.
“I will start looking for his replacement”, Jake said as soon as Tom walked away.
“Jake come with me to the office. I need to look over the books. Karma you and Dell have some fun. You did your part, so relax”, I said to Karma and Dell.
