Fight Me

by Lacey Black

  “Excuse me ladies, but there has been a few complaints about excessive noise coming from this room. I’m going to have to come inside and get to the bottom of this,” Mr. Hot Stripper says as he walks inside, closing the door tightly behind him.

  “My fiancé is a cop,” Avery slurs. “I know everyone, and I don’t know you.”

  Hot stripper grabs Avery’s hand and leads her over to the chair that has mysteriously appeared in the center of the room. All eyes are now on the stripper and Avery and huge smiles are spread across everyone’s face in the room. Hell, even the mom’s have excited looks on their faces.

  “I heard you have been a very naughty girl tonight. Is that true?” he murmurs in a sexy voice.

  The proverbial light flips on at that moment, and Avery tries to bolt from the chair. “Oh, no, no, no, no. No! I know what you are! You’re a stripper!” she exclaims as the stripper gently pushes her back down in the seat. From behind us, Holly flips on the stereo and the sound of Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven” fills the small room.

  Avery’s hands fly to her face, shielding her eyes as Mr. Hot Cop Stripper starts to seductively sway his hips, flipping his glasses off his face and ripping open his shirt. His chest is chiseled to perfection and glowing from the oil. He starts to straddle her lap and goes about shaking what his mama gave him all over her.

  I glance around and see all eyes, including the eyes of the two mothers, glued to the show. Everyone is cheering Avery on, trying to get her into the performance a little more. I actually see Mrs. Stevens pull a few dollar bills out of her purse.

  When the stripper takes a step back from Avery, he grabs a hold of his pants and pulls them away from his body in one quick, swift motion leaving him standing before her in a skimpy, spandex g-string that reads, “Big Gun”. He instantly goes back to moving and grinding on her lap, pulling his hat down low on his head in a sexy sort of way.

  The stripper reaches down and grabs a hold of Avery’s hand and gently places a pair of fur-covered handcuffs around her wrists. Her mouth drops open, practically all the way to the ground, and her eyes are as wide as saucers. He stands her up and continues to grind against her. When he bends her over gently, placing her hands on the chair in front of her, he actually pulls a paddle out of his bag-o-tricks and gives her a swat on the rear. She whips around to face him, eyes wide in horror. I’ll admit; I’m actually a little embarrassed for her! I would be completely mortified.

  When he sets her back down in the chair, Holly appears at her side with a handful of dollar bills. As the stripper continues to dance and gyrate on Avery, she decides to suck it up and take one for the team. She starts to stick a dollar bill inside his man thong the best she can without actually touching him. I can’t help but laugh at her facial expressions which are a combination of concentration and horror.

  After the song ends, Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me” fills the room. Mr. Cop Stripper thanks Avery for being such a great sport, and starts to dance around the room towards the other ladies.

  She rushes over to my side, still in handcuffs mind you, and throws her arms around my neck. “That was soooo freaking humiliating!” she exclaims.

  “I can’t even imagine!”

  “Just you wait, missy! When you and Jake get married, I’m soooo embarrassing you just like that!”

  Jake and I getting married? The warm, happy feeling settling in my chest actually kicks my heart rate up a notch or two. I could definitely consider a happily ever after with Jake. “No way! There will be no strippers at any party you may throw in the very distant future for me.”

  As the stripper makes his way towards me, I start to look for my exit. But Avery must anticipate my flight-risk status, and grabs a hold of my hand and pulls me towards her. She slaps a dollar bill into my hand as Mr. Stripper Cop turns around and sticks his dancing ass out at me. I can do this. I have on my big girl panties tonight. I can stick a dollar bill into a stripper’s thong.

  I reach forward and stick the dollar into the tiny strap just over the stripper’s bare ass. Just when I’m letting go of the strap, he spins around and throws his big, broad body against mine and starts to grind. My face bursts into flames as the embarrassment takes over. I’m surprised I can even hear the cat-calls and laughs of my friends over the buzzing in my ears.

  Once he gives me a little show for my dollar, he moves on to Holly who is standing on the other side of Avery. He continues until he’s danced for each girl in the room, including the moms – who I might add, stuffed way more than a single dollar bill in that man thong.

  After “Pour Some Sugar On Me” finishes, our entertainer turns and bows for the crowd. “Thank you, ladies. My name is Sam and it has been a pleasure to dance for you all this evening. Before I go, I have one more treat for our bride-to-be. Let me get completely dressed and I’ll tell you all about the fun we’re going to have, ladies.”

  The stripper stuffs his thong covered groin back in a pair of jeans and throws on a new black t-shirt from the duffle bag he brought with him. Once he has his shoes on, he walks over to Avery and sits her back down on the chair in the middle of the room and removes her handcuffs.

  “Now, ladies. Our little bride-to-be is going to have a little more fun. I am going to take this here blindfold,” he bends down and removes a blindfold from his bag of tricks and starts to cover Avery’s eyes, “and cover up her beautiful blue eyes. Can you see me, Avery?”

  “Nope,” she slurs.

  “Then we’re all ready to go. Our bachelorette here is now going to strip me – blindfolded – and give all of you ladies a great show!”

  “Oh, no. No way!”

  “Come on, Avery! You can do it,” Holly cheers her on from her position next to me. While the stripper goes about trying to convince Avery to strip him, Holly leans over and whispers in my ear, “Watch this. You won’t want to miss this!”

  “I promise you, Avery. You are going to love this part,” the stripper says as he goes over to start the stereo again.

  Once Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” starts up and Avery is sitting like a statue in the middle of the room, our stripper starts to walk towards Avery when the door opens. The door swings opens and in walks Maddox.

  Chapter Fifteen

  Jake

  It’s almost show time. I’m pretty sure Maddox passed up drunk a little while ago and is well on his way to feeling like death for at least two days after this party. I’m also pretty sure that he has no clue that Avery is in the room next door. When Gabe opens the door and gives me the head nod - our sign to gather the troops for the next phase of fun - I walk over to Maddox and pull him aside.

  “Having a good time?” I ask.

  “The best,” he slurs. “You’re the greatest freeend ever!”

  “Well, I have a little surprise for you, my friend. Avery’s next door with the girls.”

  “She is?” His whole face lights up at the prospect of seeing his fiancée.

  “She is, and I’m going to level with you. There’s a stripper over there.” I see Maddox’s jaw get tense and tighten. “But here’s the deal. Right now she’s blindfolded and thinks she’s about to strip down the stripper. We want you to go over there and let her strip you. She won’t know it’s you until she removes the blindfold.”

  “I’ll be damned if my girl is gonna strip a stripper. I’m in.” We head towards the door and I grab Nate to help gather all of the other guys in the group to come over and watch the show. “Wait. What if she actually strips me down? I don’t exactly want my mom and future mother-in-law to see my junk.”

  “Dude, do you really think she’s gonna strip you? You know how embarrassed she gets. That’s the point. Let’s go embarrass her a little and have some fun. She has no clue it’s going to be you. You could even play along and egg her on a little,” I respond with a smile.

  When we get to the other door, Gabe opens it and signals for Maddox to walks in first. I’m right on his heels as we walk int
o the room and take in all of the very shocked faces of the girls in the room. My eyes crash into Erin’s and I’d say she’s definitely shocked, but also afraid. Afraid of Maddox busting in on the bachelorette party when the stripper is performing, I assume. Some Beyonce song about puttin’ a ring on it is blaring through the speakers.

  Maddox actually strolls up to where Avery is sitting in the chair and grabs her hands, helping her to stand up. The stripper walks up behind him and over Maddox’s shoulder says, “Okay, I’m ready. Strip me.” Then he pats Maddox on the back, grabs his bag and heads out the way we all just came in.

  Avery just stands there so all the girls start encouraging her a little more. I quietly walk over to the side where Erin is standing and slide up behind her. I wrap my arms around her middle, leaning down and resting my chin on her shoulder, and inhale the tropical scent of her shampoo that I love.

  “Hi.”

  “Hi,” she says with a smile on her face.

  “Having fun?”

  “Yes. You?”

  “Considering I can’t drink, I actually am. I’m making sure he’s having a great time,” I say as I shake my head in Maddox’s direction.

  I look on as Maddox grabs a hold of Avery’s hands and places them on his chest. He’s smiling like the cat that ate the canary. I see Avery lean in slightly and her fingers flex over Maddox’s chest.

  Then all of a sudden, like someone flips the switch, Avery starts to slide up against Maddox. She rubs her hands up and down his chest, pawing and grabbing at him like a woman who was just given free rein to rub all over the man in front of her. She actually seems to be enjoying herself.

  “She knows,” Erin whispers over her shoulder into my ear.

  “No way. How would she know?”

  “Did you see her lean forward? She knows. That’s why she’s so into it all of a sudden. She knows it’s Maddox!”

  I turn back to my sister as she rips Maddox’s black t-shirt forcefully out of the front his pants. She slides her hands under his shirt, up his bare chest. Maddox looks shocked and a little alarmed, but I can see him shiver at the contact. I don’t think he can believe she’s actually doing it. But I give the guy a lot of credit, he remains perfectly still.

  Avery pushes Maddox’s shirt up and quickly pulls it over his head. She takes the shirt in one hand and spins it over her head before throwing it to the side. The girls are screaming their encouragements at her and the guys are all wide-eyed and quietly laughing with their beers along the surrounding walls of the little room.

  Avery starts to shimmy and shake as she rubs her front up against Maddox’s chest. The look on his face is fucking priceless! When she steps back and dances to the beat of the music, she reaches down and grabs a hold of his belt buckle. She slowly starts to pull the belt end through the buckle until the belt is wide open. She whips it out of his belt loops in one fast, fluid motion that makes me wonder if she’s done that before.

  Everyone starts cheering and cat-calling even louder. Avery takes the belt in one hand and turns around. She starts to grind her back against Maddox’s front as she dances along with the music.

  Maddox’s eyes crash into mine and all I can see is the panic. Well, panic mixed with arousal. A lot of arousal. He mouths, “She’s doing it!” to me.

  I just nod my encouragement and quickly try to think about Avery being anyone else right now – my little sister is not dancing around and stripping a guy in front of me. Shit! Maybe I didn’t think this through completely when Holly suggested it as a way to embarrass her.

  Just then Avery turns around and grabs Maddox’s pants. Her fingers wrap around the button on his jeans. Maddox looks like he’s about to piss himself. He’s pretty much standing in front of our entire family, friends, and co-workers while his fiancée dances for him and strips him. But the funny thing is that as embarrassed as I’m sure he is, I can also imagine he’s hard enough to break glass right now.

  I smile at the display in front of me and hug tighter on Erin. When Avery pops open the button on Maddox’s jeans and slides down the zipper, her hand lingers on his stomach over the top his underwear. I can only pray that her hands stay above his underwear elastic. Please for the love of God, she better keep that hand above his waistband! Avery continues to rub her hands up and down his chest, dipping them down lower and lower with each pass.

  Just when I think we might get a little more of a show than we bargained for, Avery jumps up on her tiptoes and slams a hard kiss onto the very stunned lips of Maddox. Everyone bursts out laughing and cheering when she throws her arms around his shoulders and jumps up on his chest, wrapping her legs around his waist.

  When he throws his arms around her, essentially holding her up, she reaches up and removes her blindfold. The ornery gleam in her eyes actually makes me pretty damn proud as big brother.

  Maddox throws another kiss on her smiling lips while everyone starts to go back to drinking and talking.

  “I can’t believe you figured it out,” Maddox says to Avery as they walk towards Erin and me, stopping to pick up Maddox’s t-shirt on their way.

  “How did you know it was him, Avery?” Erin asks with a big smile.

  “I could smell him,” she says with a smile as she gazes up at her fiancé.

  “You could smell him?” I ask.

  “Yep. He has a very distinctive smell. I could pick him out of a full auditorium if I had to,” she replies with a little shrug of her shoulder.

  “Holly! Did you know Avery could smell Maddox?” I yell over their heads as I shake my head in disbelief.

  “No way,” Holly says as she walks over and joins our conversation. “You really knew it was him? Did you peek?”

  “No, I didn’t peek! I knew it was him as soon as I stood up and he put my hands on his chest. I know this chest very, very well,” she says with a giggle as she gives his bare chest a little rub. “So, since everyone else didn’t know I knew, I decided to have a little fun with it.”

  “You were going to show everyone here, including our mothers, just how excited I was to have you rubbing all over me and stripping me. Three more seconds and everyone is this room was going to know exactly what effect you have on me,” he says with a wolfish grin as he slides his t-shirt back over his head and refastens his pants.

  “I wasn’t going to go that far.”

  “That’s a good thing for you because as soon as you would have pulled my pants down, all these girls would have been attacking me. You’d have to beat your friends off me with a big stick, babe.”

  “Oh, shit. Here we go,” I say, rolling my eyes and shaking my head as I grab on to Erin’s hand.

  Maddox and Avery walk away laughing, heading to mingle with their party guests while Holly heads over to get another drink, leaving Erin and I alone finally.

  “So, what is your end of night plans?” I ask.

  “I was hoping to find some hot guy to go home with tonight,” she says deadpanned.

  “Really?” I ask, eyebrow sky high and a sly little grin on my face. “Maybe I can help you out. I just might happen to know a guy.”

  “Is he tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome?” she asks with a cute little grin.

  “Definitely. I’ve even heard he has a thing for quiet redheaded librarians.”

  “Well, where is he?” she asks while looking around at the crowd. “Point me in his direction,” she replies.

  And because I can’t help myself – I love messing around with her – I point down to my growing crotch. “Oh, don’t you worry, darlin’. You’ll be getting up close and personal with him later on when we’re in private.”

  She laughs and turns her blushing face back to the party.

  *****

  Later that night – or more like very early in the morning – after everyone is dropped off at their homes respectively, Erin and I head back to my place to crash.

  “I think it was a successful party,” she comments as we walk through the door.

  “Absolutely. Ma
ddox should be passed out already and hopefully, up early in the morning puking his guts out.”

  “Oh, I bet he’s not passed out yet,” she says as she sets her bag on the floor and throws her coat over a kitchen chair.

  “Why do you say that?” I ask as I do the same with my coat.

  “I think Avery had a little something special up her sleeve for tonight,” she says with a coy smile.

  “If you’re talking about sex, stop right there. I don’t want to hear anything about what my sister and Maddox are doing right now.”

  A huge smile crosses her beautiful face. “I believe it has more to do with the fact that she found something special to wear tonight.”

  “And how might you know this?” I ask curiously. Do women really discuss their undergarments with each other? Like when they’re in the bathroom together since it’s apparently illegal for a woman to go to the restroom without all of her girlfriends.

  “I might have been with her this morning when she did a little shopping.”

  “Really?” Now I’m really curious. Avery and Erin went shopping together? For lingerie?

  “Really. I might have even found something for you as a treat for being such a good boy tonight and not drinking,” she says as she stands there looking all cute and shy. I want to grab her and kiss the shit out of her right now.

  “I had not a drop to drink tonight, darlin’. Definitely a good boy,” I say as I finally grab a hold of Erin’s small wrist, pulling her against me. My need to touch her is so desperate that I can’t even control myself. Mine. She’s mine.

  “Well, then have a seat on the couch, Mr. Stevens. You deserve a reward,” Erin says as she leads me into the living room and gently pushes me back against the couch. I drop in the seat like my legs give out, a huge smile on my face as I sit anxiously awaiting whatever it is Erin has up her sleeve.

  “Stay here. I’ll be right back,” she says over her shoulder as she grabs her bag and heads into the bathroom.

  I’m already half hard as the different prospects flash through my mind. Erin bought something, I know it. I can’t wait to find out what it is. I start to get a little antsy as I wait for Erin to come back out of the bathroom. My hands are jittery and my legs are both bouncing. Yeah, I’m damn excited!
