So there I was, sitting in a gentlemen's club called Scarlett's, sipping my second drink. I was aproached by another girl, a very pretty blonde, but I still wasn't quite ready to take the plunge. A short time after she moved on, the DJ called all the girls to the back, and I saw my first walk-around.

Now, I should explain, for those who may not know, that in this type of club the girls aren't walking around naked. At the time I was there, the dress code was more relaxed, and most of them were in fairly revealing two-piece outfits, but I did learn that at at night during the latter half of the week they are required to wear knee-length or longer one-piece dresses.

A walk around is basically a parade; the girls line up and strut onto the main stage, walk around it and then spread out through the club. Right after the walk-around, friction dances are two-for-one, more on that in a moment, and they pick a customer and ask if they'd like a dance. I was feeling a little more at ease, so when Fallon walked up to me and asked if I'd like a two-for-one I said yes and followed her to the back.

Fallon was not the sort of girl that would have immediately caught my eye. She is gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but as any who have read my writings will know, I do have a preference for large breasts, and hers were quite small. She had a lovely smile though, and as we entered the friction room, I confessed to her that this was my first time in such a place. She showed me where to sit and how, and explained to me what was and wasn't allowed as far as contact. I was rather surprised at the latitude allowed - she said basically anything was fine, just no touching under or on her thong.

The next song started, and Fallon began to dance. I'd been watching the other girls on stage of course, but I hadn't seen her up there yet, and I immediately thought that she was a good deal more talented than many of the others. Don't get me wrong, all the girls were beautiful and graceful, but there was just a little something extra with Fallon.

I'm not going to get into intimate details. It was very erotic and very enjoyable. I was more than a bit tentative at first about touching her, and when finally did I made an effort to be very gentle. At one point I was touching her breasts, very gently, and she reached up and grabbed my hands, pressing them against her more forcefully, so I followed her lead.

After my two dances were finished I paid for them - dancers are independent contractors, not employees of the club. In fact, they actually pay the club a house fee, plus they 'tip out' security, makeup artists and the DJs, with the DJs getting the biggest tip. One a busy night, Fallon told me she might pay a hundred dollars or slightly more to work. Of course as independent contractors the girls have no health benefits either, which I'm sure is a big concern for someone like Fallon especially - a twenty-four year old, single mother of two.

We went back into the main club to find the club was filling up and someone was sitting where I had been previously. That was okay, as there was a nice comfy couch right behind there, next to one of the small satellite stages. A waitress came over and I ordered another drink for myself and a glass of wine for Fallon. Then we just sat there and talked. I asked a lot of questions, I was doing research remember, and she seemed quite happy to answer them all. I did tell her she didn't have to sit there and talk to me, to which she replied that she liked talking to me.

I know what you're thinking - I saw the previews for that movie to. "I bet you think strippers like you too." Fallon and I even joked about that quote. No, I don't have any illusions, honest, but I do think she did like me as pleasant company. Oh I'm certain she probably had an idea that she could get more money if she kept me company, but what the hell, I was planning on spending more money anyway, so I was quite happy to spend it on her.

Yes I did spend a lot of money, but I had planned it that way. At one point, Fallon had to leave for a bit, and as soon as she was gone another girl sat down next to me and asked if I was interested in a dance. She was tall and blonde and had very nice, round breasts, and so I said yes and we went back to a room where I experienced another first - I had never before touched a woman with implants. Yes, I could tell, and it didn't detract from the experience in my opinion.

Fallon was waiting when I got back to my seat, and we chatted some more then she left again for just a minute. When she came back, she told me, "I was a little pissed when I saw that other girl come over here so I had a talk with her."

Well, I felt really, really bad right then and I apologized. Fallon gave me a little hug and said, "Oh no, sweetie, you didn't do anything wrong, and I mean it's not like I'm saying you're mine or anything. She does that all the time though, and I had to tell her if I'm sitting with a guy and have to get up, she better wait at least ten minutes or so before she runs over and grabs him."

I still felt a little bad, and there was something else I was curious about, so I told Fallon I was interested in checking out a champagne room with her. It was time for another walk-around, so she told me she'd do that and then get make the arrangements.

More on that in the next installment...
