I watch her walk down the stairs to the bar.
I am not alone in this, I notice with satisfaction. Every man upstairs is watching, to the obvious discomfort of some of their girlfriends.
No surprise. She is striking in that leather corset with her hair cropped short, leaving her shoulders and neck naked.
Her neck is only naked because I have not obliged her to wear her collar this evening. I know that it becomes uncomfortable after a while, but I am feeling generous. This can wait for later.
She is at the bar now ordering our drinks. I can see two men at the end of the bar leaning back in their chairs, trying to get a better look.I light a cigarette as she returns. Look at her prettily painted toes.
" We should leave after this drink."
She nods and drinks quickly.
I finish mine and stand up, help her with her coat. As we descend the stairs to leave the club, eyes follow her.
We cross the dance floor, towards the exit. Her eyes scan left, she sees the bathrooms and she turns to me.
I smile.
" Soon be home."
