she’s dancing for his club tonight. She forgot to tell me this and I had her closing out tonight. Kitty is off and Alicia has the damned flu. I don’t have anyone to go up after Maria is done.”
    “Oh shoot, that sucks,” I replied. I was happy to hear that Ryker hadn’t taken Tawny out on a date, but it still upset me that he would be watching her take her clothes off for him and his buddies. I forced the image out of my head and started walking towards the bar to help Jake clean up a little when Mel gasped.
    “Margot!” she exclaimed.
    I turned around. “What?”
    “You could do it.”
    “Ha! You’ve seen me up there, I can’t dance.”
    “You wouldn’t have to go anywhere near the pole. Hell, these guys will just be happy to see a sexy girl they’ve never seen before.”
    “Yeah, not gonna happen,” I laughed and moved back towards the bar.
    Mel followed me. “You’re hot as hell, and with your hurt ankle you actually walk a little sexier than normal. Just come out, strut your stuff and peel your clothes off. You don’t even have to get completely naked, you know that.”
    “First of all my ankle hurts like crazy. Second of all, thanks. I didn’t know you thought I was hot,” I smiled at her trying desperately to change the subject. “And third, I am not sexy when I dance. I’m serious about that one.”
    I set my tray on the bar and rolled my eyes when Jake gave me one of those looks. He was dying to know what was going on.
    “I’ll pay you two grand,” she said in a completely deadpan voice.
    I looked at Jake, my eyes widened and I whipped around. “Two thousand dollars?”
    “Yup,” Mel replied. “I’m desperate. If I get the reputation that I can’t fill my stage with girls this place will go even more downhill than it already is.”
    “But two thousand? That’s a lot of money for a crappy dancer.”
    “It’s worth it if you keep the guys here drinking. And I think you underestimate the power of a beautiful woman taking her clothes off.”
    I looked back at Jake who gave me two thumbs up with a huge grin. I looked back at Mel who had such a look of need on her face that I sighed deeply and said, “Fine. I’ll do it. But I’m keeping my bra and panties on.”
    “As long as you’re not wearing granny panties, that’s fine with me,” Mel replied.
    “When do I have to go on?” I asked, glancing nervously around at the men in the club. I served them all the time, but things would change if I stripped for them. I wasn’t sure I was prepared for that change, but two thousand dollars would cover our rent and then some. I wouldn’t have to worry about Tawny being late with her money.
    And it wasn’t like I had a boyfriend who would get mad or anything, Ryker was clearly not the loyal type, so what did I have to lose?
    If anything it might do him some good to see that other men wanted me. It might get back at him for taking Tawny and not me tonight…not that I would have jumped up to volunteer my first dance at a motorcycle club.
    “Thirty minutes,” Mel said. “You should come back stage and we’ll get you ready.”
    My nerves were shot as we walked down the hallway to the dressing rooms. Inside there were three girls left, each had done a couple sets already and were getting prepared to go out and work the floor. They made more doing lap dances in the VIP room than they did on stage any time. Forcing one of them to dance again meant they would lose loads of money in dances and creating relationships with clients.
    Mel pulled out a skimpy schoolgirl outfit and knee high leather boots. I laughed and said, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
    “You’ve got that perfect tiny innocent look, we’re going to use it to our advantage,” she explained.
    “I might kill myself in those,” I replied pointing at the boots.
    “They’re not that high and they’ll help support your ankle. I’ll do them up tight.”
    “So I’m more like some Goth catholic school girl kicking
