Seary's Finale Page 4


  "Shut the fucking door!" She says. Her feet land on the floor and she pops up with a completely stunned look on her face. "Aurelius Moore?"

  "Holy Hades!" I stutter. "Do you know him?" A vision of Piper in Aurei’s Bear Cave in Italy flashes in my panic.

  "No! But I’m married to his army bro, Dirk Sam." She waves her hand with her wedding band on it.

  "Mother Hera! You’ve got to be fucking kidding me?" I stand too, stunned by this news. "Aurei and I are married too!" I tap my choker. "Collared and claimed! We eloped!"

  "Wow! What a small fucking world, Siri!"

  "Wow, Piper! Karma truly loves me!"

  "She surely must!" She throws her head back and laughs. "This is so fucking DOPE! Best friends married to best friends!"

  She sits back down and waves me to continue. Her posture is completely different this time. Now she sits with one leg under her, leaning forward, hanging on every word. I tell her about the swingers’ party, which she loves and we laugh about how TD was treated.

  "Spank that bad boy!" She giggles.

  I tell her about Flash, and then going to The Stallion. "We’ll have to dance together there too. One of my long-term clients owns it now." I don’t mention Ruth’s stupid ass. I simply say, we went to Rome to get to know each other better. How we fell so deeply in love so quick, and "now here I am back in Vegas, married, as happy as I’ve ever been in my entire life and planning a new gig."

  "New gig?"

  "Yes. Tonight is my last show as Seary, the Stripper. I’m going to be the star of a new Cirque Du Soleil show featuring Whitney Houston’s music."

  "SHUT UP!" She slaps at me. "No fucking way!"

  "Yes fucking way!" I giggle at her. "All my dreams are coming true! So see, I knew I would win the bet. My story is mind-blowing."

  "Def!" She laughs and says all full of sassy ass. "But you haven’t heard mine yet. Dirk is my stepbrother!"

  "What the fuck?" I scream and bounce on the couch. "Whaaaaaattttt? Spill it!"

  She begins with her stepfather. "The Prick had at least one other extramarital affair when he was married to the bitch before my mum and that one produced an offspring." Then we both get texts and we stop to read them.

  Aurei sends me. *On my way.*

  "Damn. My times up. Aurei is coming to get me. Oh wait! We’re eating with y’all." I giggle.

  She laughs. "Dirk wants me to come meet someone. He loves telling our story." She winks and teases me. "It’s such a shock filled one."

  We stand and hug again. As we walk out, she says. "So do you think they told each other who they are married to? Dirk rarely calls me Piper in public. I’m his 'partner, The Brit.'" She giggles. "Implying I might be a he." She winks. "It’s guaranteed to make them curious and a great opener for an ice breaker. He’s a natural politician like The Prick. Always networking. People love him. Give me your digits, love."

  I smile as we exchange phones and each enter the others phone number. "I’m so happy you love him too. You were so worried you weren’t going to find anyone."

  She laughs an evil laugh as she returns my phone and takes hers. "I didn’t say that. I just said we were married." She cocks her eyebrow.

  "Holy Hades. I have to hear this story!" I stop. I hold my iPhone up and say into it. "Call Tif."

  "Calling Tif."

  When she answers, I tell her I’m back and in desperate need of her magic fingers. "My BFF is in town too. Can you mash us?"

  "Welcome back! Of course. When?"

  "Thanks, Tif! I’ll have Angelo schedule it. He’s my PA."

  "Perfect." Tif says, then hangs up.

  "Stardom suits you." Piper laughs. "Let’s not mention I’m dancing with you tonight. I want to give Dirk another real shocker." Her evil laugh is contagious.

  "You got it!" We stop and I knock on James’ door.

  "Come in."

  I stick my head in. "I have a slight change in the show." He waves to come in, so Piper and I step inside. "This is Piper, my BFF and Coyote Ugly dance partner. She’s going to do a surprise performance with me."

  He comes around his desk, shakes her hand, and sizes her up. "Oh my! You’re easy on the eyes."

  "Would you mind taking her into the Club and showing her how to access the VIP rooms."

  "Come with me, Hun."

  She giggles. "I’ll see you in a bit."

  I hear James telling her. "The show will start at midnight. Once you’re inside, then come back to Siri’s dressing room. I’ll have your outfit laid out for you." They round the corner and I start down the hall. The door opens and my Golden God walks in, looking every bit the part. I smile at him and skip down to give him a big wet smack on the mouth.

  "Happy?"

  "Very! It’s good to be home."

  Chapter Ten

  "Did your meeting go well?" Aurei asks me as we walk down to the Steakhouse.

  "Absofuckinglutely perfect!" I swing our arms then raise them over my head and twirl around under them.

  "You’re in a good mood."

  "I love it when a plan comes together." I put his arm around me and slide my hand in his back pocket so I can feel his ass flexing in his jeans when he walks.

  I have his ball cap on again, and he pushes the brim down, covering my eyes and says. "Behave, Bad Thang."

  I giggle and push it up. "Never!"

  "Oh snap." He laughs. "You’re in that kinda mood, huh?"

  "And just what kind of mood is that?"

  "Siri-ous sassy ass!" He does quotes with his fingers.

  I laugh out loud and confirm it. "Hell to the fucking yeah!"

  We enter the Steakhouse and I ask for Bart’s table.

  "And you are?" The hostess asks.

  I smirk at Aurei. "That is confirmation! I’ve been gone too damn long." I take the cap off, shake my hair out, then tell her. "Siri."

  She leaves to check with the manager, who comes back with her to see me. He hugs my neck and welcomes me back. "We’ve missed you."

  I tell him. "Thanks. I’ve missed you too. We will have a couple of friends joining us, Dirk Sam and his wife."

  "Very good." He nods for the waitress to make a note, then escorts us to the table.

  I slide in, and Aurei takes his phone out before he sits. I lean over to read his text.

  *We are seated. Tell them who you are when you arrive.*

  *Leaving now. Heading your way.*

  He sets the phone down, and I ask him.

  "How far out are they? I’m excited to meet him."

  He smirks. "He was already here when you went back with James. He was gambling with Rebecca."

  "You rascal! So y’all are caught up?"

  "You might say that. I told him about my Italian wealth, but didn’t get to tell him about you." He shakes his head and laughs. "He began telling me this crazy tale. I mean crazy!"

  "I can’t wait to meet him. What’s his wife like?"

  He chuckles hard. "No idea. She wasn’t with him. She was looking up an old friend."

  The waitress comes over, and Aurei orders a beer and I drink water.

  He tells me. "Get this. He calls her 'my partner, The Brit.'"

  I raise my eyebrows. "Are you sure he’s not gay?"

  "Hell no, he’s not gay! Wait till you meet him. He just loves pushing people’s buttons." He smirks at the table, then looks back up at me. "We pushed a lot of buttons back in the day."

  "I can’t wait to meet him now!"

  "Dirk and I are opposites when it comes to looks and backgrounds, but we’re brothers."

  I lay my hand on his arm and squeeze it. "I can dig that. Piper and I were too. I loved her like a sister, but her family is in politics, mine are from the sticks."

  The waitress returns with our drinks. I pretend to have an incoming text. "Hang on. Let me answer this." But I text Piper.

  *Aurei doesn’t suspect anything, which means Dirk doesn’t. LOL! You are so going to get him BIG TIME. Don’t give away we’ve already seen each other. *
/>
  *I’ve missed you, you naughty little tease. *

  I laugh at her answer, then put my phone back on the table.

  A couple of older ladies approach us, and I smile at them. Aurei nods.

  They are both wearing "I’ve Been Jammin’ Have you?" t-shirts. They look to be in their 70’s. Maybe older.

  "Aren’t you the star they are advertising on the banner outside?"

  I cut my eyes at Aurei, and say under my breath. "Welcome to my world."

  The taller of the two asks. "May I have your autograph?"

  "Agnes! No one gets autographs anymore!" The shorter one looks horrified at her friend. "You take selfies these days."

  "What the hell is a selfie, Sara?"

  "You certainly may!" I laugh and rise.

  Sara rolls her eyes at her, then smiles sweetly and holds her phone for Aurei to take. "Here dear, do you mind?" Then she explains to Agnes. "It’s a picture of us with her."

  "Oh!" Agnes looks surprised at using her phone for this wonderful idea.

  I walk around the table, step between them and put my arms around them. When Aurei stands up and backs away, to take the pic, I feel their focus leave me and attach to him. He puts her phone up to his face and says. "One, two, three."

  I’m the only one who says, "Cheese."

  Aurei chuckles and says. "You ladies might want to smile."

  Sara giggles and apologizes then smiles and poses. She tells me through her smile, "My gawd, that’s the most handsome man I’ve seen in forever!"

  Agnes agrees. "He is very easy on the eyes."

  I tell them. "On the count of three, say Sexy Beast."

  "One, Two, Three, Sexy Beast." We say in unison.

  They thank us profusely, then giggle together as they walk away.

  "I think you made them juicy."

  He laughs and ignores me. Then he gives a head nod and stands up. I look to see a 'sexy as hell' beast of a man walking toward us.

  "Da-yum!" I tell Aurei as I stand up beside him. "Is that Dirk?"

  "Yep. That’s Sam, I Am."

  Sam, I Am, is 6’ tall, maybe even an inch taller, and is pushing 240. His chest is full and expansive, and his arms are huge! His waist is slim and depending on how big and beautiful his ass fills out those jeans; he might actually go 250! He is a beast! He has olive skin and rich black hair. His eyebrows are thick and straight. His facial features are classic, and his eyes are brown. He is the opposite of Aurei’s Golden God gorgeousness, but I do see the brother resemblance in him. Dirk has the same intensity in his eyes. The same razor sharp like a hawk piercing gaze, but it’s the ease of his smile that makes my heart flip flop. He wears the same teasing ’rascal' expression that Aurei wears. "Sweet Zeus, brothers was right! Gorgeous Gods!"

  Aurei laughs as he walks out to meet his friend.

  I’m so stunned by the hunk walking towards me, I almost miss Piper’s red head bee-bopping in beside him, and she definitely has missed me. Her eyes are devouring Aurei with the same enthusiasm I was admiring Dirk.

  Aurei shakes Dirk’s hand and then shakes Piper’s. She smiles up and flirts with him. I watch her turn on her Piper charm, and they laugh at something said, then Aurei and Dirk start toward the table and Piper excuses herself. She walks off toward the restroom.

  When they arrive, Aurei introduces us. "Dirk, I’d like you to meet my wife, Siri. Siri, this is Dirk Sam."

  "Ah, the infamous Sam, I Am."

  He smirks, then narrows his eyes. "Aren’t you the beautiful bombshell blonde on all the posters in here?"

  I laugh at the charming way he put that. "Yep. That’s me."

  "Damn, Hard-Core! You waited for a real winner, didn’t you?"

  Aurei grins at him, then winks at me.

  My phone starts to vibrate on the table, so I step over and pick it up. It’s Piper. *Come here! *

  I tell them. "Excuse me. I’ll be right back."

  Aurei touches my arm. "Everything ok?"

  "Yes." I roll my eyes. "I’m hydrating and need to visit the ladies room."

  "Oh!" He chuckles and lets me go.

  Dirk says. "If you see a redhead in there, tell her to hurry. Her hubby needs her."

  "B. R. B," I tell him. "Don’t talk about me behind my back."

  Aurei jokes and points to the restroom. "Go!"

  I giggle and walk off.

  In the bathroom, Piper is waiting for me with an "OMFG! Your dude is so hot! Good for you, Siri Wright!" She high-fives me.

  "Guurrrllll!" I drag the word out for emphasis. "Your man is a handsome beast! I cannot wait to hear your story! I want the long version too."

  She laughs and says. "Good because there is no way to shorten it! Now, here’s the plan." She tells me how she wants to play this 'surprise’ encounter in the bathroom and then the surprise at tonight’s performance.

  "Are you sure?" I ask her.

  "I’m sure." She laughs, then gives me that Piper look that says, 'I’ve been bad and I enjoyed the hell out of it.'

  I give her a hug. "Let’s do this!"

  She takes off for the table. I wait a few minutes, then return too. When I walk up, I pretend to be shocked that she is sitting at our table. "Piper?"

  She jumps up out of her seat. "Siri? Bloody hell, I’ve been looking for you everywhere!"

  We hug like the long lost friends we are, then talk at the same time, die laughing, and finally give the official introductions. She tells Aurei and Dirk how we met at FSU at orientation, hit it off, only to discover we were actually assigned as roomies. I tell them the real story that there was a comedian speaker and he asked for volunteers to come up on stage with him. Piper and I both climbed up, and she ended up stealing all the laughs.

  She says. "We had some good times there."

  "Yes, we did."

  "But, enough about us. Aurei, I’m dying to hear some stories on Dirk."

  "Yeah, Aurei. Let’s hear some stories from your army days. I want to hear the ones that involved pushing people’s buttons."

  Aurei takes the bait beautifully, and the rest of the dinner is spent laughing at the trouble those two got in, and out, of.

  I hear Dirk’s first-hand account of the night he tagged Aurei with Hard-Core. He tells it much more enthusiastically than Aurei and I’m laughing so hard I snort a couple of times, which makes Aurei reach over and hug me, chuckling harder at me than the tale. When Aurei gives an account of a seed spitting contest involving vodka filled watermelons, I laugh so hard I’m crying.

  I ask why Aurei calls Dirk, Sam, I Am, assuming it’s a reference to Dr. Seuss that is a funny story.

  Dirk grins and his eyes are full of mischief. He cuts them at Piper and she answers. "It’s a reference to his tool, love."

  "Oh!" I laugh.

  During the dinner, I watch the relationship dynamic between Piper and Dirk. It’s clear they love each other, but it’s equally clear that something big happened between them and they haven’t worked out the kinks yet.

  My eyes twinkle. Don’t worry, Piper. We’ll get your love life back on track. That’s what I do.

  When we’ve finished eating, and we begin walking back to the club, I’m impressed by the fact that she managed to keep the conversation off the fact that we danced together on the stage of Coyote Ugly, and Aurei, to his credit, didn’t mention it either.

  I wonder if Dirk even knows she’s danced at a club before. If he hasn’t, he’s really going to be shocked!

  Chapter Eleven

  Aurei:

  Outside the entrance to the secret side door, I hold my Wild Thang in a loose embrace. Our hips rub each other, and my dick is hard and needy. I know from the look in her eyes, she is juicy. She traces little hearts on my abs as she prepares me for tonight’s performance. "If you can’t take it, just come back in here and wait for me."

  "I’m not missing your last performance and Steve’s bachelor party!"

  "Ok." She sounds doubtful. "But promise me, you won’t lose your cool tonight."


  "I promise." I tell her.

  "Remember Rule #1: No Touching!"

  I smile at her. "It will be the only thing that gets me through it!"

  She smirks and I see that twinkle in her eyes.

  "But it is a bachelor party after all."

  "What does that mean?"

  "I won’t be wearing much."

  I frown. "What’s that supposed to mean?"

  "It means my little blue heart got waxed."

  "Oh fuck!" I close my eyes. "I’m going to need a shot."

  She giggles. "It’s time for me to go in."

  "I know. Give me a kiss to hold me over." I lean down and she slides her hands up my abs, over my shoulders and around my neck. My lips lay gently on hers and I whisper. "I love the way you taste." Then I slip my tongue past her teeth and she sucks it until I moan and have to push her away.

  She backs to the door and says. "Remember. You promised."

  "Rule #1! Got it!"

  She giggles and disappears.

  I watch the door close, take a deep breath and turn to see Piper and Dirk’s smirks. I shake my head as I walk over. "This maybe the toughest assignment I’ve ever had."

  Dirk pats me on the back and says. "I don’t envy you, brother."

  I lift my eyes and say honestly. "I need a drink."

  We laugh and head to the bar. I step up, hand the bartender my card and tell him. "A round of drinks for everyone on me."

  He grins, swipes my card, makes the announcement, then hands it back to me. "You’re Seary’s man. I get it. It’s gonna be a tough night."

  "Thanks for that." I laugh. "Make mine a triple. Crown Royal neat."

  Dirk tells him his order and Piper gives her own. We wait in silence until we’ve been served, then we walk in. As I enter the darkness again, I remember all the nights I came to watch her dance. As soon as her show was announced with a THUMP, my balls would draw up and begin to fill with semen. As soon as I saw her, my cock would harden. As soon as she started to dance, the beast within would answer. It was a battle before, but tonight it will be a war.

  We thread our way through the tables of the first club and continue, going deep inside. There are a few dancers on the walls, but none on the floor or runways. Dirk and Piper look awestruck at the sheer size of the dance hall. I continue going to the Gentleman’s Club. I stop under the sign and say. "Welcome to Seary’s Hangout."
