Read Online Dancing In Darkness by Sherrie Weynand - Free Book Online Page B

Nina. She couldn’t imagine what was going on that she would call her three times in a row. Hopefully she remembered that she was coming here tonight instead of to Nina’s Place. She would feel horrible if they were without dancers.
    Asking Adam to excuse her for a second so that she could make a phone call, he showed her to a more private area of the room. It was a small sitting area that was cordoned off by large potted plants. Just another touch of detail that had not been left out. Dialing the number on her phone, she waited for Nina to answer.
    “Priscilla, when you get finished there tonight, I need you to come to the club. I do not care what time it is. I’m not leaving until you get here.” Nina rambled on into the receiver.
    “Nina are you okay?” Priscilla sounded extremely worried. It wasn’t like the older woman to be this upset and nervous.
    “I have to go for right now and I know you are going to be busy. Please, come straight here after you are done. If he picked you up, have him drop you off here. I will take you to get your car.” She said.
    Hanging up the phone, Priscilla was confused and worried. No, she was scared and terrified. She wanted to leave right now, but she had made this commitment and Nina told her to be dropped off there. She would have to make it through this party first.
    “Everything okay?” Adam asked her.
    “I don’t know for sure. When you take me back, could you drop me off at Nina’s, please?” She replied.
    “Of course. Let me know if everything is okay.” He told her.
    “I will, definitely.” She said, unable to shake the bad feeling that had settled over her.
    “I can show you your costume and where to change now. Guests should start arriving any time. I still need to get the lights and music going. I’ll help you out the best I can tonight since it’s your first time.” He said to her.
    “Thanks. I guess I should get ready then.” She replied.
    Leading her past a couple of doors, he opened one on the left. When he turned the light on in the room she was stunned. It was a dressing room, with full length mirrors, benches, a sofa, vanity bench in front of the mirror. The closet was immense and filled with every costume type imaginable. Hanging from the hook on the door was hers for the night. It was a black vinyl bra and a thong to match. With it was a matching garter and thigh high boots. The bra had crisscrossed straps that wound around her torso. While it wasn’t her usual choosing for herself, she had to admit that it was rather hot.
    When he left the room, she started to undress and neatly folded her clothes in a pile on the sofa. First the thong and then the bra. Getting the strapping just right was a chore, but she accomplished it. When she put the garter on, it took her a second to realize there were no stockings, these garters were meant to attach to the boots. Those were another story. She was trying to figure out how she was going to walk, let alone dance, in the sky high platforms. Whatever it took.
    After dressing, she stuck her head out the door and called for Adam. “I’m ready as I’ll ever be.”
    Entering the room he looked at her up and down. “You are amazing. I think our guests are going to be very pleased.”
    “Entertained at least.” She shrugged her shoulders. “I do have a question.”
    “Ask anything.” He told her.
    “If these people are here for the ummm, activities of their choosing, are they really even going to be that interested in dancing on a stage?” She asked.
    “You would be surprised. Some of the guests don’t even participate outside of the main room. It’s something about being with like-minded individuals. Plus, they do pay more attention than what you think.” He replied.
    As they were talking, she could hear voices of others that had arrived before they made their way back to the main room. The lights had been lowered and replaced with softer red lighting. It made it difficult to see but she was sure
