I checked my audience. Everyone was watching me. I chose first one man,
then another. I stared at each one until he was too embarrassed and lowered
his head. I didn 't smile, just stared. Letting them know with my eyes that
I was in charge. The boss lady.
At the end of the row of benches, I noticed somebody new. A handsome farang
with hair the color of straw, wearing business clothes that looked
expensive. He smiled at me, a strange smile that made me feel like I was
naked.
Of course, my costume doesn't hide very much. Normally, that gives me a
feeling of power. Maybe I will allow them to see the hidden parts. Maybe
not.
With this man, it didn't matter what I was wearing. I felt like he could
see right through my clothing. Like he could see every bit of me, even if I
wore street clothes. My nipples started to ache, and my G-string got more
slippery than ever.
For the first time since I started working for Ajarn, I was nervous. I
stumbled on my spiky heels. I almost lost my balance. Luckily, I was able to
turn the mistake into a sexy dip that showed off my bare rear. Most of the
customers didn't notice.
The blond man was not fooled.
My heart was beating so hard that it hurt. When I finished my dancing time,
I ran into the toilet and splashed some water on my face. I crouched down, my
back against the wall, listening to the chatter of the other girls. My eyes
closed, I tried to follow my breathing, the way the monks taught me. All I
could see was the farang looking at me, with that X-ray stare of his, like
something from a science fiction movie.
I stayed in the bathroom for as long as I could. I knew Ajarn would notice
if I was gone too long. Finally, I had to go back out. I peeked out from
behind the curtains, trying to see if he was still there. When I saw that his
seat was empty, I sighed with relief.
I headed toward the bar to get a Coke. My throat was tight and dry. Then I
felt a hand on my arm. It was him. His skin was so cool, it made me
shiver.
"Can I buy you a drink?" he asked. His voice was kind, and made me think of
music. Still, I felt something like terror. He stared at me without
blinking. Now it was me who had to look away.
Ajarn was on the other side of the room, watching us. I couldn't refuse.
"Thank you, sir. Just a moment. I go get a Coke, come back right away."
"Let me go with you," he said smoothly. He took my arm and walked me to the
bar. After we got our drinks, he guided me to a table in the corner.
"Sit," he ordered. I didn't want to, not really. But what could I do? I
clicked my glass against his. "Chok dee,"
I said. "Good luck to you."
His smile made me feel like I had eaten a meal of live butterflies. "Same
to you. What's your name?"
"My name Nok. What your name?"
"You can call me Sam," he said. "Nok is bird, right?"
I nodded. He brushed my long hair off my shoulders and down my back. Then
he took my chin in his hand. He raised my eyes to meet his again. I felt like
I was captured. Trapped.
"Very appropriate. You're as delicate and airy as a sparrow." I thought of
those caged birds they sell at the temples. You set the birds free to make
merit, but they always return to their masters.
Without warning, he kissed me. His lips were as soft as his voice, at least
at first. I thought I should stop him, though. I tried to pull away. His right
hand held my mouth against his. His left arm wrapped around my waist. I
couldn't move.
So I gave up. I let him slide his tongue into my mouth and suck the breath
from me. The funny thing was, as soon as I gave in to him, I began to like
it. He smelled like soap and expensive cologne. He tasted like his whiskey. I
could feel that he was strong, much stronger than he looked, with his slim
body and fancy clothes.
He kissed me harder, biting my lip. I felt like I was melting. He let go of
my chin and played with my breasts through the stretchy mesh. My sex was on
fire against the hot, sticky leather.
Suddenly, he pinched one of my nipples, digging in his fingernails. His
mouth smothered my cry of surprise and pain. After the pain, though, I felt
amazing pleasure, shooting up my spine like lightning.
"You like that, Nok." My English is only so-so, but I could tell he wasn't
asking a question. He was telling me. And he was right.
I was terribly embarrassed. I wanted him to do it again.
He bent me backwards. My hair nearly brushed the floor. He put his mouth on
the other nipple and sucked. I felt like his mouth was between my legs,
sucking me there. It was heaven. I reached up, wanting to stroke him, but he
pushed my hands away.
Then, when I was not expecting it, he sank his teeth into my
flesh. Everything went dark for an instant. Then pain exploded in me,
brilliant as the sun. I was burning up, but I wanted to burn.
When I opened my eyes, he was watching me. That strange smile was on his
face, but he also looked worried. "That's enough for tonight, Nok," he
murmured. "I have an appointment elsewhere. But I will come back for you,
soon."
I was too dazed to say anything. He stuffed a thousand baht note into the
cup with the bill, to cover two one hundred baht drinks, and stood to leave. I
grabbed his shirt. Not thinking, but not wanting him to go.
"Please, sir..."
He flicked his thumb across one of my aching nipples. Delicious echoes of
pain rippled through me. "Be patient, Nok. Be patient and wait. Now is not
your time."
Before I could say or do anything more, he was gone. I sat on the stool,
confused. Ashamed. Frustrated. Sticky and dirty and smelling like a
whorehouse. I buried my face in my hands, almost ready to cry.
Someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Your turn to dance again," said Lin. I
nodded and stood up. I was still shaking.
"Who was that guy?" she asked. She knew that something was wrong with me.
"Just a guy," I said. I made myself sound uninterested. "Just a customer."
I paid my respects to the shrine in the corner, then climbed back onto the
pedestal. I began to dance, showing off my whip to customers. Trying to look
like I was in control.
