After getting the job of his dreams at The Flag and having a steamy romp with the owner, Cal has his first shift at the club! It's a bit of a long one, but there are many great, sexy scenes along the way!

Calvin sat on his bed, and he bounced his leg nervously as he looked back at the unlocked window of his bedroom and then to his door. God, what was he thinking? The job with Rusty sounded too good to be true, and a reminder of what he did last night was still very much at the forefront of his mind. He couldn't believe that he would be paid twenty five bucks an hour plus tips. It sounded like his dream job! Well, minus the working hours. He had to take a few daytime cat naps in order to stay active throughout the day. It was also weird shuffling back inside your dad's house after taking a fresh load of donkey cum right up your ass.

Now, the only thing between him working his first shift and Rusty's sweet donkey cock was his father. Luckily, tonight was only "training", and it seemed Rusty had something planned for him. His ears flicked with the clunking of his hooves on the wooden floor, and part of him wondered if his father was onto him. He had no idea why there was that nervousness about his father knowing, but it seemed his father knew everything about him. Even though he was an adult, he still felt his father would barge in or break down his door one of these times and demand answers for his college shenanigans.

Calvin felt his heart racing in his chest. He was dressed for the night tonight underneath his clothes and wore an athletic jockstrap with a cup. The attire he wore above it were simple, ripped jeans and a tank top. Rusty told him the theme, which was why he wore the underwear, and that his "uniform" would be provided for him at the club. Rusty also told him that his uniform would be a surprise.

"Fuck, I think my heart is going to give out if I keep sneaking around like this," Calvin swore to himself as he slowly got up off the bed when he heard his Dad's hooffalls stop and the switch to the living room light click off. It was a telltale sign that his Dad was off to bed.

Calvin had the night to himself.

Making his way over to the window, Calvin cracked it just a bit and looked back at the door. He couldn't hear anything from the living room and decided to lift up the window all the way. With what sounded like a deafening creaking to Calvin, the young bull opened up the window and climbed out.

Luckily, the window closed on its own, since it was old enough that it couldn't stand up on its own, and Calvin rarely locked the windows in the summer, to his father's dismay, so if his dad turned up in the morning to check on him snoozing in his room, his window would be unlocked, and everything would appear normal.

Calvin took one last look back at the house. It was oddly quiet and peaceful. It would be wonderful if Calvin didn't have to do anything at all in order to earn a bit of extra money, but life had a strange way of working against someone.

Calvin began to walk in the general direction of the bus stop. It was about a five minute walk, which wasn't so bad, and the crisp night air made it even easier to hoof it. Plus, it helped him clear his head about the fact he was about to show off his body to absolute strangers. It was exhilarating! Probably the most exciting thing he had ever done in his life, and part of him jokingly thought about dropping his major and changing it to journalism, or something, so he could write about it in a book!

He was the only one at the small town bus stop, so when the doors opened up for him, it was pretty empty inside. He was the first stop away from the bus station, and the city where The Flag was at was the second stop. It was very rare for any passengers to hop on the bus between the two stops, but since it was a small town, he expected it at least once or twice.

For now though, he had the bus all to himself. He nodded to the driver, who was an old Beagle. His name was George, and Calvin knew of him solely for the fact that he would always give him suckers when he was younger. The two gave a nod to one another, and George asked, "Whatcha doing out this late at night, fella? You should be at home sleeping. Or....ooooo...."

There was a moment of recollection from George who leaned back and clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "Is it a lass you're after?"

Calvin chuckled as he put his money inside of the fare box which gave a small hum as it ate the three dollars he put in before he put a tip in a small jar above it. "Nah, just working late is all."

George huffed. "Highly doubt that. Sounds suspicious to me." George looked over at Calvin with a grin. "Just be safe. I remember when you were this big." George brought his index finger and thumb together and looked through the tiny crack that formed.

"Yeah...yeah, I know," Calvin said with a chuckle as he patted George's shoulder.

Calvin made his way towards the back of the bus and rummaged through his pocket to grab his phone and earbuds. He sat close to the window and watched the world go by as he pressed play on his phone. It was a simple beat; techno. The bull never liked it, but he found it growing on him, since it would be the type of music he would be getting more accustomed to as he got more and more into his new role at his job.

Calvin found himself jolted from his thoughts when he could practically hear the low bass of The Flag already shooting up through the windows and rattling them. The bus ride was so fast, and he was already coming close to the next bus stop!

"This your stop, Calvin?" George asked as he looked over his shoulder. Calvin was still the only one on the bus.

"This is it."

Calvin got up off his seat and walked towards the front of the bus and down the set of small stairs to the cool night air. The bass of The Flag was much more pronounced, and Calvin could see the lights of the city lighting up the night sky above him. Several people filtered into the bus after he got off, and George gave him a grin. "Be safe out there."

Calvin nodded and smiled. "Always."

The bus was almost filled with passengers now, and Calvin watched the bus as it sped away. Calvin cut his way through several alleyways. The brick was definitely much more different than his open streets back home, and Calvin's neck hair stood up on end. People of all different shapes and sizes walked past him, holding alcohol or coming down from it, and one person in particular was making out with what appeared to be another male drunkenly. Yep, he was getting close.

No one paid him any attention as he walked towards the entrance of the club nonchalantly, and Calvin cut in front of the line to the annoyance of several customers. It looked like it was going to be a very packed night.

"Name?" the bouncer asked in a thick Scottish accent. He was a thickly-muscled Doberman. His left eye had what appeared to be a scar from some claws, and a small bear paw tattoo was clearly visible on his chest. The bulldog harness he had on underneath his deep v-neck t-shirt glimmered in the lamplight. His eyes scanned him up and down with an intimidating glare. The fact that he was dressed as a slutty-looking jock would have been hilarious if Calvin didn't feel his blood turn to ice.

"U-uhh....C-Calvin?"

The Doberman's glare looked even more like daggers dipped in poison.

"S-something w-wrong...?"

"No...nothing is wrong. Except that you aren't in the dressin' room gettin' your ass reamed right now, Calvin!"

"H-uh?"

Calvin looked like a deer in the headlights as the Doberman busted up laughing. He even wrapped his arm around a very annoyed customer who had been wanting his ID checked for the past few minutes.

"Oh God, I'm so sorry....fuck...ugh, gets me every fucking time we have a newbie. The name's Ginger, kid. Rusty is inside, near the dressing room. You are super early, man. Ready to go in for your first night? Got the jock ready?" Ginger asked with a grin, clearly very well-informed about Calvin.

The Doberman bombarded him with questions, and Calvin's poor brain was still trying to catch up to the fact that he had nothing to be afraid of. Calvin gripped the waistband of his pants and pulled them away to show off his bulge, and Ginger took a look with a raised eyebrow. His expression changed to a nod, as if he was critiquing a fine wine.

"Mmm, not bad! Certainly will be nice to see ya shake it on stage, kid. I'm done teasing now. Go right on in, rookie!"

Calvin nodded a little sheepishly before walking in through the large door and into the club proper. It was quiet inside at the moment, and a few scattered patrons were milling around and chatting with each other. The DJ didn't even appear to be in yet, since their sound system setup was sitting unattended in their booth beside the large stage. The stage itself was lit up with multi-colored lights all pointed on the two stripper poles in the center that gleamed like polished silver.

Along the side wall was a bar at which a few patrons were currently drinking, and there was a single, twinkish-looking house cat with orange fur and dressed only in a bow tie and black thong, walking between customers to deliver drink orders to the few scattered tables near the bar. On the wall opposite the bar, across the room, was a door marked "Employees Only".

The atmosphere was light and upbeat, but certainly not a crazy madhouse, and there were a couple of people dancing, but all had clothes on and were dressed much more casually. Calvin slipped through the main dance floor and into the employee dressing room.

The same music that was playing out on the dance floor was quieter and reverberating, but it was still there. It added an almost lounge-like atmosphere, like he was shopping for clothing, since the room that he walked into was any stripper's wet dream.

Cubicle-like rooms segregated the dressing room into private booths, perfect for someone to quickly change out of gear and into regular clothes or vice-versa. Along the wall, tags were placed on articles of clothing. The tags had names written on them in black ink which were easy to spot. A woman with an earpiece was folding everything casually, not even bothered by the bull who was standing in the entrance of the dressing area like a deer in headlights.

Calvin cleared his throat, the spell-bound stare fading a bit, and the woman quickly turned around. She was a stocky-looking bison and had a kind, warm smile as Calvin sheepishly waved his hand.

"Don't you look just precious?" She noted with a small giggle and strode on over, her long, blue-sequined gown glittering like the ocean. Her strong southern accent and peppy demeanor threw Calvin off for a minute. "You must be the new calf here. Boss man talks you up an awful lot. How you holdin' up, sugar? Know it's a lot to take in at first."

Calvin gave a small snort and rubbed the back of his head. "I'm...doing okay. I'm just wondering what to do next. I was just told I'd be given training."

"Well, you've definitely come to the right place! All the boys are back here preparing for the night, and I know the boss was quite eager for you to come in tonight. He ended up having to deal with some club business though, so he might be away for a bit. Told me to keep an eye out for you and set you up with a buddy for the night, though I guess I got a little distracted..." she giggled lightly, the slight blush on her cheeks matching the redness of her lipstick which stood out in bright contrast to her brown fur which looked like it had seen even more makeup used on it.

"What can I say, there's a whole lot of eye candy that works here! And we've acquired quite the tall drink of water to add to the team too, if you don't mind me saying," she finished with a slight rumble to her voice which made it sound almost masculine. As her eyes scanned over his muscular body, Calvin could see her glittery purple eyeshadow twinkling in the light. "My name is Luna, by the way. Luna E. Clipps, perhaps you've heard of me?" the bison asked, holding out a hand daintily for Calvin to shake.

Calvin took the hand and continued to be bashful. "N-no, I'm sorry...madam...I mean, ma'am!" The bull did not even notice that his hand was let go for a moment, his eyes watching Luna's closely. The bison chuckled.

"And with manners as well!" Luna exclaimed, feigning shock. "Why, I have never been so smitten in my life!" She gave a giggle and grabbed Calvin's hand to lead him over towards the attire hanging on racks. "Now, a little flower like yourself probably is wondering what I'm doing back here..."

Calvin nodded. The confident demeanor he had walking into the building beginning to switch to a more adolescent curiosity as Luna guided him around like she was his mother. "Well, I'm a performer, sugar. I dolly myself up real nice and go out and give a bit of a...song and dance, much like yourself, but usually I don't lose as many clothes as you boys would." There was a small snicker and a glimmer behind her eyes. Immediately, Luna's expression changed when the music number changed, and Luna gave a wide smile.

"Speaking of, that's my cue to finish getting ready and head out there, hun! Now, you listen to Kai. He'll be your partner for tonight. I heard it's gonna be a real hot show, 'cause the boss loves pushing the new guys." Luna looked around before waving in a direction. "Oh, Kai! Your partner needs some guidance!"

Luna shouted down the hall to one of the many cubicles, and Calvin watched Luna prance down towards a cubicle and grab an obnoxiously huge, blonde wig and put it on her head with a gaudy purple and blue butterfly glittering on it, before dashing to the stage.

Meanwhile, a man dressed in stylish, leather biker gear appeared out of one of the cubicles further down, a huge grin plastered on his face. The snow leopard walked confidently up to Calvin, who was easily a full foot taller than the cat, and he whistled when he had to look up to meet Calvin's eyes. "Evenin', handsome! I'd ask how the weather is up there, but I imagine you get that an awful lot, being as huge and beefy as you are," he smirked. "Suppose I shouldn't be surprised though, since the boss has a huge weakness for guys like you. Anywho, as Luna said, I'm Kai, which is short for Kaison, but everyone just calls me Kai. And you are?" Kai asked, holding out his paw as he flashed the bull a dashingly handsome smile.

Calvin chuckled and took the snow leopard's paw. "Heya, I'm Calvin, but you can call me Cal, if you wish. I've been doing a lot of hand shaking today. So many interesting people here....and I mean that the best way possible!" Calvin gave a chuckle at his awkward way of breaking the ice, but the butterflies in his chest were the ones holding the reins. Kai was incredibly handsome, like a boy band member, but actually hot.

Kai snickered as he gripped Calvin's hand firmly. "Yeah, you'll find we're quite the odd family, especially with our older sister Luna running around. Sometimes I legit forget she's a drag queen, but it's pretty easy to get reminded of that fact when you accidentally walk in on her changing," the spotted cat laughed. "Word of advice, always knock first, or you're gonna get a crash course on what it looks like when a drag queen with a big dick has to tuck her junk!"

Cal was so overwhelmed by the last sentence, having been so convinced Luna was a real woman, that he stood there in shock for a moment. "Noted," he finally said slowly as if what Kai said just clicked in his brain. "Should I knock on your door too, or do you mind if I spot what you work with?" Calvin said the sentence with the flirtiest smirk he could muster.

That question got a snort of laughter out of Kai as he slapped Calvin on the arm. "I'm a stripper, Cal, so showing off what I'm packing is practically half my job! But play your cards right, and maybe I'll give you a private show sometime," he winked up at the massive bull. "For now though, it's my job to get you settled in and answer any questions you might have, so let's get you to your dressing room." Kai ushered Calvin down to the cubicle immediately adjacent to the one that had Kai's name on it. "Here we are, your new home away from home!"

The dressing room was just enough area that it felt spacious, but just little enough that all of it had a purpose. A massive mirror was immediately what drew his attention when the two walked in. A dresser was pushed against the left wall along with a clothing cabinet. The doorway also had one hook which was used to hang any jackets or harnesses. Calvin recognized it as the same types of hooks in Rusty's office area.

"Wow, this is actually pretty good for a dressing area. I like how I get my own place to dress too," Cal commented and opened up the cabinet. Calvin gave a small whistle when he peeked in to find a bunch of jerseys, jockstraps, singlets, and other types of athletic gear were rearranged and packed away nicely inside. Each had a fetish twist to them; the singlets being mostly assless and cut very low while the jockstraps had just enough of a pouch to barely skate by being considered underwear. Even the football "padding" was meant to highlight his form and bring his muscles out.

"I see Rusty has me pegged as more of the jock type. Damn, these are barely even classified as swimwear..." Calvin commented with a chuckle as he reached in to grab a lime-green thong and felt up the material.

"Was he wrong?" Kai asked curiously. "I mean, forgive me if this is stereotyping, but you are arguably one of the biggest, most jacked bulls I've ever seen, so I'd be legit surprised if you told me you didn't play any sports whatsoever, since you strike me as...probably a football player? Maybe wrestler, but nah, I'm thinking you've gotta be a football player with a body like yours."

"Well, I do play football! I play recreationally for one of the football clubs. Mostly as a defensive lineman. I do flirt with a lot of wrestlers, though. Those high weight classes are just begging to have their thighs worshipped, and I quite like being the one between them..." Calvin said almost dreamily as his eyes fell upon a baby blue singlet with the ass perfectly cut out. The material looked like it would easily frame his rump, and he pulled that out to feel the material. "Oooo, I really like this..."

Kai chuckled as he moved to stand beside Calvin. "Heh, man after my own heart. Used to date a wrestler back in high school myself. Now that made for some steamy romps, especially since I knew how to push every single one of that polar bear's buttons," he replied in his own dreamy, wistful tone. "But that's all in the past now. Lost contact with him after he went off to college on a wrestling scholarship, and I ended up here," Kai shrugged. "Been here almost six years now, and I can't imagine working anywhere else. Plus I don't have that pesky college debt everyone's complaining about."

Cal hung the singlet back up. "Sorry about your polar bear, bro. Sounds like that would be a hot couple of nights." Calvin walked over to the dresser and opened that up to find more jockstraps folded nicely. Each one of them were different shapes, sizes, and colors along with a small note on the white one right in the middle.

"Hey Calvin, hope you enjoy the undies and gear. Harnesses will be hung in here by request or during gear nights. The rest of the stuff you can wear, but please leave it here. We'll take care of laundry. Hope your first night goes well, and I'll give you a bonus in the office if you stop by after ;)."

It was signed by Rusty.

"You must have made one hell of an impression on the boss during your interview, huh?" Kai asked, his head hovering just beside Calvin's arm as he figuratively read over the bull's shoulder, since he was so much shorter than Cal. "Usually he just cobbles together a few outfits from the old storage wardrobes and hangs them in here, but all of these jockstraps look brand new! Hell, most of the stuff in here is new. Guess he wants the best for his new calf, eh?" he grinned. "You two totally fucked, didn't you!"

"I mean....nooooooo," Calvin said with a small blush as he quickly closed the dresser. "A magician never reveals his secrets. I have my ways with men, though." Calvin tried to think of a way to change the subject, clearing his throat and looking back to the dresser to see the note was sticking out perfectly from the drawer. He grabbed it, folded it, opened up the dresser, and quickly threw it back onto one of the many colorful pairs of underwear and shut the dresser as quickly as he'd opened it. "But anyway, what is on the agenda for tonight? Anything I need to wear or do with you beforehand?"

Finally bursting into a small fit of laughter, Kai had to wipe a tear out of his eye by the time he was done. "You don't gotta be so embarrassed about it, Cal! Slutty as it sounds, most of the guys here have slept with the boss at least once, myself included. Rusty is an old horndog, but he's the best boss you could ever ask for. So, if you managed to get fucked before you were even officially hired, then color me impressed! I may be the one who's in charge of training you tonight, but it sounds like I've got some stuff I could learn from you as well!"

Kai cleared his throat to get himself back on task. "To answer your question though, we're gonna figure out an outfit for your debut, you and I will practice dancing, and if I feel you're ready, then the two of us will perform together. Based on how the audience reacts to you, you'll either get a couple more dances tonight, or you'll be on the fast track to unemployment, because if the audience turns on you, it's all over. So, it's my job to ensure you don't totally bomb your first time on stage."

Calvin felt his body relax for a moment at the fact that Kai wasn't laughing or teasing him for fucking his new boss, but quickly felt those nerves begin to come up again when Kai mentioned the word "unemployment". His eyes got as wide as dinner plates, and he watched the snow cat closely. "Oh man, well I don't want that to happen. I need to pay off my college tuition, and if you tell me who to gyrate on or fuck, I'll do it."

"Keep it in your pants for now, cowboy," Kai smirked. "Unless I tell you to whip it out, of course. Anyway, let's start with your outfit. You might as well strip down all the way, so I know what I'm working with here as we pick out what you'll wear for this."

Calvin nodded and easily stripped out of his shirt and pants as well as his underwear. It was like a seperate instinct ever since he went to Rusty. He felt a little uncomfortable with his cock and balls hanging out, but it was nothing too out of the ordinary for him at this point. The exhilaration of getting something handpicked for his skills was making his heart beat fast and a grin begin to form. He crossed his arms and cocked his hips with the confidence of a football player letting it all hang out after the big game.

Kai was unable to keep his face completely neutral as his eyes hungrily drank in the sight of his new coworker completely naked, and he couldn't help but lick his lips slightly. "Shit, Cal...You are fucking hot, you know that? I mean, damn, dude, I'm not seeing a single fucking flaw anywhere on you!" he practically purred as he slowly circled the naked bovine. "Can definitely see why Rusty recruited you!"

When he knew Kai was behind him, Calvin flexed his right bicep with a smirk and shook his butt. His tail flicked back and forth excitedly behind him. "Thanks, stud! I try to keep the gains going, but I seem to keep getting thicker, rather than lean. I like that aspect though, and it seems you do too!" Calvin gave a blush, the compliment making his confidence surge much like Rusty's did the night of the interview. "Usually, this is the part where the other person strips too, and I get pounded, or they pound me, but I can settle for clothing appraisal."

"Oh? You mean to tell me that a bull your size isn't a total dominant, alpha top kind of guy?" Kai grinned as he circled back around to the front and looked up at Calvin once more. "You're just full of surprises, aren't you? A complete Adonis, jacked as hell, AND you're versatile? If you've got a boyfriend, I imagine he's damn near the luckiest guy in the world!" the snow leopard laughed with amusement in his voice. "The luckiest guy in the world though, he'd be the one who ends up with me," Kai winked teasingly.

Chuckling, which made his pecs bounce and flex, Cal put his bicep down and smiled cheerfully at Kai. "Oooo, you practically ooze confidence. Do you play any sports? 'Cause you seem like a jock type as well. Just maybe not as big as me." Calvin winked back as he watched Kai begin to circle him with a finger on his chin, as if thinking extremely hard about his next move. "Also, I love being versatile. Why settle for only sinking into someone when you can have another person behind you and holding you close?" Calvin had a wistful expression across his face, a small amount of drool forming at the corner of his mouth. "Mmm, just thinking about it..."

"Hey now, don't go getting all horned up on me now! We need to fit you into skimpy clothing, and that ain't gonna be easy if that monster between your legs gets hard, got it?" the spotted cat scolded half-heartedly, grinning. "Much as I'd love to see how big you really are, we've got a job to do. Now..." He turned around, rummaging through the closet full of clothing. "Since you're a football kind of guy, would you wanna stick with that particular theme, or perhaps branch out into more of a soccer or even rugby theme? We've got jerseys here for all the local teams, it looks like, and since the boss seems rather keen on you having a jock on, that takes swimming off the table. Shame, these speedos would look great on you," Kai mused out loud, switching between asking Calvin questions and simply thinking out loud.

Calvin shimmied on over, his cock flopping about between his legs as he came up behind Kai to take a look. The aqua blue singlet from before was still shimmering and he loved the fact it was assless. Maybe he could incorporate that into his design? "I kinda want to do something besides football. I was thinking of that wrestling singlet. Then, it can get all stretchy, so if I do get hard, I won't flop around. Eventually, I can strip out of that into the jock. What are you thinking of wearing?"

Kai made a thoughtful noise as he grabbed the singlet off the hook and held it up against the bull's body. "Might be a tight fit, but I suppose that's for the best, since we'll want it showing off every one of these huge muscles of yours. As for my own outfit...hrm...I can look around to see if we have a wrestling singlet in my size, but I'm not sure how to incorporate those into a good show. Suppose we could maybe do something of a dance-off, having a mock fight of sorts as we strip down. We'd just have to be careful with how we do it, since a singlet and a jockstrap ain't exactly a lot of clothing to strip out of. You don't ever wanna strip down too fast. You wanna tease the audience with what you've got, make them thirsty for you," Kai said with a purr in his throat while his clothed rear grinded back against Cal's manhood ever so slightly. "Make them crave you, make them want to throw the big bills at you in an effort to make you lose more clothing. It's alllll about the timing," he finished, flexing his ass against the bull's cock.

Calvin gave a small groan and had to hold himself back from groping the snow leopard. "God, I love being a tease, so that would be perfect. What if we do something like a tracksuit, tank top, gym shorts under that, and a jock underneath? Maybe it's best that people get an understanding of my image before jumping up to full-on wrestling."

Kai's tail playfully brushed against his cheek, and the bull snorted, a puff of warm air leaving his nostrils. It was getting a little harder to concentrate. Rolling his hips playfully against Kai's rump, Cal bucked slightly to push the leopard forward a bit. "Didn't you just say you weren't supposed to get me hard? Ugh, kitty cats just want milk all the time."

Grinning over his shoulder at Calvin, Kai winked at him once more. "Kitty cats just love teasing big hunks and getting them all worked up. But I'm liking your idea, Cal! If we dress up like that, go in with clipboards and whistles, people can assume we're football coaches or something, and we can play that up a bit, like we're scolding an imaginary team as we're dancing."

Giving a low moo and wrapping his arms around Kai, Calvin placed his chin on his shoulder. "I'm liking that idea a lot. Hmmm, I'm sure I can find some low-cut shorts and still go off that tank top idea. Are we going to do anything after we strip? Cause if you need me to be soft for the whole time, I'm going to have to make sure I don't get a boner at least for most of the performance...which means I'm going to need some alone time. Or a kitty helper." Calvin smirked at his dumb joke and let go of Kai, but not before fiddling with one of the many zippers on his leather jacket.

"Smooth-talker, aren't you?" Kai snickered. "I see what you're doing there, but you're going to have to get used to holding in your arousal on stage. That said...well, at the risk of making this place sound trashy, it's not unheard of for dancers to get a little worked up on stage, so oftentimes even I'll be sporting a partial by the time I'm done. Once the blood gets pumping along with the beat, it's pretty easy to lose control, so I wouldn't hold it against you if you got hard on stage tonight. Might get you more tips, once we're stripped down far enough, but I only want you to use that to your advantage if you manage to get the crowd riled-up enough first. Go groping yourself too soon, and you'll just look trashy for relying on your dick rather than your body. THAT is what's supposed to be your real money-maker. Does that make sense?" he asked, his eyes drifting down to Calvin's dick more than a few times as he turned and spoke to the bull.

Calvin nodded, the bravado he had replaced by curiosity once again. "Yeah, that makes sense. I don't want to look like I can't control myself, even though I can be kind of a sex fiend. If stripping here is just dancing and a bit of groping and not live porn, I think I'll be just fine, but just you grinding against me was enough to get me at least a bit chubbed up. You've got a very nice ass, if I do say so myself."

"You say that, and my fans say that all the time," Kai chuckled. "Trust me, I'm well aware that my ass is apparently my biggest asset. Which is a slight shame, because I try really hard to keep the rest of my body in shape, but I suppose it's all part of the same package," he shrugged. "But see what I mean, though? All I did was some light grinding, and it got that much of a reaction out of you. You don't need to go whipping your dick out and jacking off on stage, which we can't do by the way, in order to get a rise out of the crowd. Subtle things, the odd grin or wink here and there, perhaps flicking your tail at the right time while you're dancing, there's any number of little things you can do to entice guys while you cast your spell over them with your dance."

"Yeah, I get what you mean. A shame we can't shower the crowd in bull jizz, but alas....that will have to wait. More comfortable for me too, not to expect sex. Less on the porn side and more on the go-go dancing side. I'm cool with that. I think my arousal also has something to do with my instructor flirting with me and staring at my cock more than anything," Calvin teased with a smirk before walking back towards the cabinet and grabbing some light blue and low cut gym shorts along with a lime green tanktop. "I'll make sure to keep more on the subtle side as well. That advice actually really helps. I had no idea what would be too much on the stage, and part of me is somewhat disappointed that I won't be sinking into your ass on stage."

"Not on stage, at least," Kai muttered under his breath before smiling at Calvin. "Sorry about all the flirting, I've always had a bit of a weakness for guys like you, so I just can't help myself! If you wanna try those clothes on, perhaps grab that blue jockstrap in the drawer there, I'll pop over to my dressing room and see what I've got that might complement your outfit."

"Sounds lovely," Calvin said with a smile and walked over to the dresser to grab the mesh blue jock. When the bull pulled the fabric over his balls and cock, the pouch slumped downward and nestled his balls nicely in the mesh. The clothing allowed just a bit of breathing, and the straps were nice and thick on his ass that they framed it extremely well. It was like being hugged around his waist. Calvin shook his ass teasingly, his tail flicking back and forth excitedly, but he remembered Kai's advice and slowed down his tail and stared sultry at himself in the mirror. "Before you leave, how's this look?"

Calvin struck a pose, not a bodybuilder one, but one that looked needful without appearing desperate for attention. He put a hand against the mirror to lean into it while crossing his ankles over one another. The finishing touch was he put his left hand on his hip, the pouch of his jock easily holding all of his junk even though it barely covered anything at the same time.

Smirking, Kai replied, "Honey, you look like candy I'd love nothing more than to unwrap and devour. That bulge of yours is gonna make you quite popular, I've no doubt about that, especially since I'm pretty sure you're gonna be the biggest or second biggest guy here in the dick department. Need anything else before I slip out?"

Calvin gave another one of his trademark grins. "Nah. I should probably stop giving you masterbating fodder and let you get dressed."

With only a momentary pause, Calvin quickly blurted out before Kai took off, "So, which one of us is going to be the assistant coach?" The bull managed to say it while pulling up some low cut gym shorts and holding the tanktop in his right hand. The waistband of his jock peeked over the shorts.

"You, obviously," Kai winked. "I mean, I AM your senior coworker, much as it hurts to call myself a senior anything when I'm only twenty-four," he shrugged. "Besides, people might like the idea of the bigger, beefier guy being the assistant rather than the actual coach."

Calvin slipped on his tank top with a bit of a smile. "Fine by me. I bet I can figure out how to be a great asset to the team anyway." Calvin folded his old clothes nicely and put them on the vanity that the mirror sat upon. He figured he could find a clipboard and pen up near the bar, and luckily the small drawers of his vanity had props with one of them being a shiny, silver whistle which he haphazardly put around his neck.

"Looks pretty good so far! Get a feel for the outfit, maybe do some stretches or something, since we're gonna be moving around a lot," Kai nodded before disappearing into his own dressing room, the sound of rummaging being heard next door.

Doing as he was told, the bull stretched out his quads, biceps, and core with various movements before making his way back towards the main area of the dressing room. His whistle jingled around his neck, and his heart rate began to increase ever so slightly. "Hey, Kai, how long do we generally perform for?"

"Kinda varies, but generally it's around fifteen minutes, give or take," the snow leopard replied, taking a step out from his dressing room clad in only a bright red jockstrap that stood out against his grey and white fur covered in leopard spots. Up until now, Calvin hadn't been able to truly see Kai's build, but now that he was nearly naked, he could see that the snow leopard clearly took great pride in his body.

While he was nowhere near as muscular as Calvin, Kai had a body that looked like it belonged either in Hollywood, swimsuit magazines, or porn, because he looked like he was chiseled from the finest marble, every muscle perfectly crafted and toned by the hands of some skilled sculptor. His chest was thick without being bulky, his abs were perfectly cut, his arms and legs had substantial muscle that complemented the rest of his body perfectly, and it was all brought together by the most perfect ass Calvin had ever seen. It looked firm, yet fluffy, toned, yet with just the right amount of fat to make it wobble slightly, and above that was his long, fluffy tail that ended with a little white tip on it that made it look like the end had been dipped in white fur dye.

"Cal? Yo, did you hear anything I just said?" Kai said with a raised voice.

"Uhhh....uhhh yeah!" Calvin said, wiping a bit of drool that was beginning to form again on the corner of his mouth. "Damn, you must really hit the gym! I was expecting you to come out in more than just a jockstrap....Coach." Calvin gave a chuckle, twiddling his thumbs a bit. "Makes my workouts look like dirty bulks, while yours make you look all....lean and efficient!" Calvin continued to admire Kai, his eyes trying to get more of a glance at his ass and the very well-framed pouch.

The cat grinned, his tail swishing from side to side. "What can I say, I know my body is a deadly weapon in this profession, so I gotta keep it honed to perfection. Take it someone likes what they see, judging by the way those shorts are tenting already," he winked. "I'm flattered."

Calvin's right hand instinctively went over the crotch area of his shorts, and he gave a small blush. "Woof! I'm excited to see what Coach has in store for me on stage. I think your cockiness is rubbing off on me....and my cock, but I'll make sure to keep it in check, I promise. But anyway, what's next on the agenda? Do you usually practice before the big debut or just kind of piddle around and talk to customers?"

"Normally, I'd mingle with the customers, but first I wanna see you dance, so I have a chance to see what I've gotta work with. While customers are going to be watching you more than me, since you're new blood, I need to be able to play up what you're doing in order to help you if you start having issues. It'll reflect rather poorly on me if the boss finds out you bombed, after trusting you to my care," Kai replied, grabbing a chair from his dressing room and sitting on it, facing Calvin. "Let's see what you can do. I know you impressed the boss, but let's see if you can impress me."

Calvin nodded, cracking his knuckles as well as his doing a few quick stretches before strolling over to Kai with the same swagger he strode over to Rusty. He stopped about two feet away, a grin across his face. "Alright. I'll give you a dance."

Tuning in to the music playing out of the sound speaker in the dressing room, Calvin was thankful it was a simple four-count. He began to gyrate his hips, his bulge prominently jutting outward with each thrust forward. He moved his arms above his head, turning to face away from Kai and closing his eyes to enjoy the music and the motion of his body. He put his arms in a simple biceps flex before stretching away from his chest and towards Kai. "How's this so far, Coach?"

"Looking good so far, Assistant Coach," Kai replied, rolling his eyes slightly but liking that Cal was at least staying in character. "Let's see you without the track jacket on."

"Yes sir," Calvin said in the most sultry voice he could muster. He began to take off his jacket, letting it fall just a little bit past his shoulders to show off his arms. The tank top did little to hide his musculature, and as Calvin continued his routine, his body was like the waves of an ocean. The muscles moved and swelled underneath his fur before coming to rest. Finally, Calvin let the jacket fall to the floor in a heap. Calvin turned around, the motion quick and clean, and Kai could clearly see each ridge and valley of his traps, lats, and glutes. If Kai had a quarter, he could bounce it off the bull's body in many different places. He would simply have to choose where.

Calvin stuck his fingers in the waistband of his shorts, pulling them ever so slightly downward to show the waistband of the jock just a tiny bit, nothing too noticeable or right in the viewers face, but just enough for whoever was watching this dance to have a couple of questions about what Cal was packing.

"You're doing good, but this is the part where you'll want to turn your back to the audience," Kai suggested, his eyes analyzing every aspect of what Calvin was doing. "When you're stripping like this, you'll want to tease them with the back, show off the back, and THEN go to the front. Especially for a guy like you, because your biggest, and boy do I mean biggest, asset is that bulge, so you don't wanna show the best part too early. Like for me, while I'm not exactly hung like a damn horse like you, I've got plenty downstairs, but as you saw, my ass is my centerpiece, so I won't be mimicking you during this part."

"Gotcha, Coach," Calvin replied, quickly turning to the front. "Show off the back FIRST, and then hit them with the firepower up front." Cal moved closer, his body now mere inches away from Kai's face, and he grinned. "Emphasize...that....front..."

Calvin punctuated each word with a thrust forward, his bulge nearly grazing Kai's face, but turned back around once again. He raised his hands up as if he was gripping an imaginary pole and started to squat down, rising slowly back up again and giving Kai a view of his back once again. Rubbing his hands down the front of his tank top, Calvin turned back around again but had one lifting up the bottom of his tank to show off his perky nipples while the other was down near his pelvis, as if teasing the viewer that he was about to dive in. "But only after showing them the back..."

"Just remember that you're dancing to a whole room of people. You can't just focus on one person in the crowd and give only them the show of a lifetime," Kai smirked. "Probably a blessing for them to be so far away. They don't have to smell sweaty bull up close and personal like I'm having to," he teased, playfully trying to fan away the smell from his pinkish nose. "Did you work out before you came here tonight? Or do you always smell so...musky?"

"Ouch, I resent that," Calvin said with a chuckle, but did find a bit of a blow to his confidence. "But yea, I did work out. I showered a bit beforehand. Is it really that bad? Because I can go shower again..."

Calvin continued his dance, pulling away from Kai a bit and still continuing to move and sway around an imaginary pole.

Kai reached out and grabbed Calvin by the waistband of his shorts, yanking him towards himself as he looked up into those startled bovine eyes with a predatory grin. "I'm just fuckin' with ya, Cal. To a cat with a sensitive nose like mine, you smell absolutely amazing. Washed bodies are nice and all, but the scent of a hard-working man is hard to beat, don't you agree?"

Calvin still had the wide-eyed look about him, and was surprisingly still dancing a bit, but the jockstrap-clad cat holding onto his waistband had him smitten for a moment until he snapped out of it. "Wait, are you still fucking with me, or are you serious? Cause I agree, but I want to make sure I'm not failing any tests here!" Calvin gave a smile and began to wiggle his hips again, his bulge bouncing and jumping in his shorts and threatening to burst through. He still kept it in, thanks to Kai's jock of choice.

"Who knows," Kai shrugged, releasing Calvin and pushing him back with a shove to those impressively rock-hard abs. "Perhaps it was a test, perhaps I was being truthful, but the important part is your dance slowed down when you got surprised. Don't break stride like that during a partner dance, otherwise you're going to throw off your partner, or in this case, me."

"Ooooof," Calvin exclaimed as he stumbled backwards for a moment. "Gotcha..." the bull still danced, his body moving gracefully and with purpose, but in the back of his mind, he wondered if Kai liked him. He knew it was stupid, because the snow leopard was being professional, and not everyone needed to like him, but the mixed signals were starting to get to him. He grit his teeth and continued on, his body moving more, and he concentrated on the fact that Kai called his previous dancing "good". His ego wanted it to be more than "good", however, and he felt like he wanted to impress his Coach.

"Do you want me to remove any more of my clothing, or...?" Calvin asked, hesitating, as if he wondered if he was asking the right thing. He continued his confident swagger, but there was a bit of hesitation.

Kai sighed. "You can't ask the audience that. You need to judge based on how they're reacting, so you know when the time is right to kick things up a notch and lose another piece of clothing. At this stage, some cheering and lustful stares are probably all you're gonna get, but if you lose the shirt, you'll probably get a good reaction out of that. Use that energy to fuel your dance, and as you get excited, they'll get excited. So, just start doing what feels natural at the time. That make any sense? I know, it's like I'm some high school teacher, except I'm teaching the theory of stripping," he laughed.

Calvin frowned, but then when he heard the sweet sound of Kai laughing, he found himself smiling again. "Yeah, it makes sense. I just don't want to step on your toes. And when you commanded me before, I was expecting another command again. You are right, though. I do need to lose the shirt." Cal gripped the bottom of his tank top, pulling it off in one smooth motion to unveil his abs and chest. A sheen of sweat covered his abs and chest, but not enough to get on his clothes or gym shorts, just enough to make his fur glisten in the light. Calvin then brought a hand up to pinch a nipple, sticking his tongue out playfully to his right, to an audience that was not there. He bounced his pecs with a grin and gripped the tank top to stuff it into the back of his gym shorts.

The flirting with the invisible audience, and the unveiling of the upper body which he'd seen already, though it was no less impressive, had Kai casually crossing his legs in an effort to not make it obvious that the show was working pretty well on him. "Good, that's much better! Keep up that smolder and really give it to the audience. Show them what that body of yours can do. Prove it's not just for show!"

"Mmmm, yes sir!" Calvin exclaimed as he started to get back into it. His left hand trailed down towards his groin, cupping the bulge as he started to continue to move and grind. With his right hand, he continued to pinch his nipple and kept his tongue sticking out. He made sure to flick his tail ever so slightly, letting the "audience" know that his performance was slowly getting him more and more out of his shell. After moving his hips and groping the pouch of his jock, he used his left hand to pull down the back of his shorts about halfway to show off his backside and perky rump. He made sure to rotate around ever so slightly, making sure his invisible audience got to see every peak and valley his body had to offer them.

"Looking good, Cal, now just sloooowly ease down those shorts and entice the audience with that beefy ass of yours," Kai cheered him on, smiling as he softly clapped along to the beat of the quiet music.

Calvin chuckled, his heart racing as he let his hooked fingers slowly and painstakingly put pressure on the shorts. He still gyrated his hips, letting the muscle work it off his body instead of his fingers, and he took his right hand to cup his bulge in his shorts as the backside fell down past his rump. His butt on full display, the bull gave a sheepish smile towards the "crowd" in front of him and leaned forward, lifting his tail and cocking his hips just enough that his hole couldn't be seen as his butt flexed.

Kai applauded as he found himself shifting more in his seat. "Excellent! I don't know if you did it on purpose, but you kept me from seeing your hole, and you always want to tease with that! Trust me, everyone on that floor around the stage is imagining fucking you or getting fucked by you, and they'll want to see that sweet hole of yours desperately! And the way you flexed your ass to do it, that was flawless execution from a flawless ass," he winked. "You know what to do next!"

Calvin nodded, looking over his shoulder and giving a smile and a wink to his left as he slowly made his way back around, his hips moving much like how a cobra moves just before it strikes its prey. He took his right hand away from his bulge, sticking two fingers into his mouth before tantalizingly bringing it back down to cup his bulging jockstrap pouch and letting the shorts fall right onto his ankles. He easily stepped out of them, his hand still around the pouch of his jock and giving anyone around just enough of an idea of how big he was without showing off the round log in his underwear.

It was around that time that Kai had gone quiet, and Calvin could see that the snow leopard was transfixed by him, practically bewitched by the show the bull was putting on. Clearly, he was enjoying what he was seeing, to the point that he was forgetting to analyze Calvin's performance.

The bull continued, kicking away the gym shorts right into the invisible crowd, but still keeping his hand on his crotch, and in the most sultry voice he could muster he said to no one in particular, "If you want to see some goods, I'm gonna need some cash." Calvin then looked back over to Kai with a cheeky grin. "And, if you give me enough, I can get started on your 'conditioning' for this season."

The words seemed to have knocked Kai out of his trance, the white cat shaking his head slightly. "Conditioning for this season? Oh, you mean like conditioning for the team and stuff," he chuckled after his brain caught up. "Anyway, you've done a great job, Cal. I'm sure the audience will love you just as much as I've loved watching you," the snow leopard smiled.

Calvin stopped, panting a bit and pulling his hand away from his crotch. "Awesome. Thanks for the help too. Good thing to note is that you wouldn't have to pay me to get a private session, and...this assistant gives the best massages after the big game." Calvin chuckled at the joke, lifting his hands up and wiggling his fingers teasingly.

"Oh? Well, I can tell you right now I'd never turn down a good massage," Kai smirked. "Anyway, wanna get dressed and head out back for some fresh air? Think I need a breather after watching you dance!"

Calvin was feeling a bit hot too, since the room didn't feel properly ventilated and air conditioned, though that might have been because of all the heat his dancing was building up inside him. As the two made their way back to the dressing rooms, Calvin had his tank top and gym shorts in his hands while Kai strutted his stuff back to his private dressing area. The bull nodded. "Yeah, sounds like a plan. I don't want to get a fine for indecent exposure out back." Calvin began putting on his clothes and cocked his head as he was putting on his gym shorts and watched Kai begin to get up off the chair. "So uhhh, why did you come out in only a jockstrap?"

The spotted cat smirked, looking over his shoulder as he started to walk back to his cubicle. "If you'll recall, you asked me a question while I was in the middle of changing and trying to figure out what I had that would look good with your outfit, so I came out and answered you. Not like I've got any shame being nearly naked, so figured there was no point throwing pants on just to answer a question. Why?" Kai asked curiously as he got dressed.

Calvin chuckled, putting on his tank top and jacket in case they wanted to go through the routine again after their break. "You make a fair point. Part of me is sad that you are covering up your body again after showing off like that." There was a purr to his voice, one that he didn't quite mean to come out so obvious, but his slight fatigue and arousal after the dance wasn't helping to stave off his flirtatious side. Calvin took a moment to let the flirting gesture hang, his eyes scanning over Kai's backside as he pulled up his pants from before.

"Play your cards right, handsome, and MAYBE I'll let you do something I never let customers do," Kai grinned back at him as he zipped up his pants and slipped on a white shirt over his fluffy fur. He put on a necklace that looked like a downward sword with a little blue gem in the pommel of it, then slipped on the leather jacket he'd been wearing when they met.

Calvin grinned. "I have always been up for gambling when the odds look pretty good in my favor to be with someone who is as handsome as you. I'll keep pressing my luck....among other things." Cal leaned against the doorway to his private room, watching Kai patiently as the snow leopard adjusted his clothes to the most perfect degree. Each movement seemed to have purpose, and there was a finesse to it. Calvin meant every word when it came to Kai's attractiveness. Even the necklace around the snow leopard's neck had its place.

"You sound like a guy who's never been turned down in his life," Kai chuckled. "But I suppose I can see why, since I imagine just about any guy alive would kill to be with you. Perhaps I'll be your first who turns you down," he shrugged, lips curled into a grin as he strode right past Calvin and to the back exit door on the far end of the dressing room area.

Calvin quickly made his way over to Kai and didn't notice that the leopard had opened the door for him. "You make me sound like some sort of slut....which I am, but the bad kind of slut that can't take 'no' for an answer. I promise you that I've been turned down before, but I gotta say that I like a cool cat that has his standards set." The alleyway gave them plenty of room to move past one another, as the alley was big enough to comfortably have a dumpster in it, so Calvin took his spot next to Kai, leaning against the brick wall of the bar and feeling the thumping of the bass through the wall.

"Nah, I don't think you're the bad kind of slut," Kai said after nearly a full minute of silence between them, the two just enjoying the cool night. "I think you're just a guy who knows what he likes and knows how to get it. A guy who clearly has good taste, for that matter. Safe to assume you don't have yourself a guy back home waiting for you?" he asked rather bluntly.

"Nah," Calvin said and shuffled a bit. "I had a boyfriend for about a year, and we broke it off 'cause he...uhh....well....studied abroad." Pausing, the bull looked away for a moment and shrugged. "That was kinda hard for me, but I'll leave it at that. He was a pretty cool guy too. How about you?"

"Used to, but it's pretty much the classic stripper breakup," Kai shrugged, pulling a long black stick out of his inner jacket pocket and sticking one end in his mouth, breathing deeply before letting the vapor out slowly, making the alley smell vaguely of blueberries. "He got possessive, wanted me to stop dancing and get a real job, and he couldn't take no for an answer when I tried to explain that a high school dropout like me is better off stripping than working fast food, or whatever other jobs would hire me. I make good money here, and I live comfortably, so why ruin a good thing, you know?" he asked, his icy blue eyes glancing over at Calvin.

"Yeah, that makes sense," Cal said as he watched Kai take a puff from his vape pen. His eyes must have lingered for a bit too long, and Kai gave him enough of a strange look that Cal blinked and said, "I'm just trying to get enough to pay for college. Dad is a single parent. He and mom got a divorce a while ago, and we don't have much money, so I took this job to help him out. He doesn't know that I strip though, so....that will just have to be between you and..." Cal watched Kai put the vape pen to his lips, the snow leopard listening close while watching him. "...you and me."

As the feline released another puff of vapor into the air, he found himself smiling slightly. "Your secret is safe with me, Calvin. If anything, I'm actually rather impressed by you. You're not the first guy who's come through here looking to make that tuition money by shaking your ass, and you won't be the last, but you're the first one I've met who's stripping because you want to help your family. Most of the boys, we're all running from something, whether it's an abusive relationship or our own inner demons, but you're not running from anything, are you?"

"No, not really," Cal shrugged. "I mean, nothing that really stands out. I'm just trying to get my college through to help my dad." Calvin crossed his arms, letting the cool wind that swept through the alley brush across his skin. "I LIKE showing off. It's just always been something in me, and I like expressing myself. My mom...didn't quite like that. My dad was okay with it. I think the reason they divorced in the first place was because my dad liked that I expressed myself, and...I have a hunch he is at least bi, but...it's not really my concern."

Kai chuckled, playfully elbowing Calvin. "Your dad as hot as you are? Bet he is, since your good looks didn't just magically appear," he grinned, getting a bit more serious a moment later. "Sorry about the divorce though. My own parents divorced when I was a kid, barely even remember my father, but I'd like to think I turned out alright in the end, even without a dad around."

Calvin chuckled, focusing more on lightening the mood. "He actually is pretty good-looking. He's built like me too. He played hockey when he was younger, which is hilarious to think about; a big beef steak trying to make his way around on skates. He was pretty good though and only got one tooth knocked out. Stray puck hit him across the cheek. The scar is really hard to see though."

"Heh, sounds dreamy," Kai smirked. "But I'd wager that my present company is far hotter." He let out another puff of vapor before sliding the pen back into his jacket. "So, tell me...once you make the money for college, are you gonna run back home all victorious and never look back?"

Calvin shrugged. "Well, I'm already IN college. Summer is helping now to give me a little more free time, since I'm not taking extra classes. I don't know if I'll just pack up and leave, but...I don't want this to be a full-time thing. I want to be a...."

Calvin stopped...shuffling his feet a little bit and blushing. "Ummm, first you have to promise you won't judge me."

"Honey, I just had you naked in front of me a matter of minutes ago. Pretty sure there's nothing to be ashamed of at this point," the cat replied, curious what Calvin was going to say.

"Fair point," Calvin stated with a shrug. "I want to be a paleontologist! Like someone digging in excavation sites or looking for ancient fossils or remains." Calvin paused for a moment, looking at Kai's reaction for anything, but the cat seemed to be more interested at the statement and less amused than anticipated by Calvin.

After an awkward silence, Kai simply raised an eyebrow, folding his arms over his chest as he leaned against the brick wall beside Calvin. "So you wanna be like Brendan Fraser in those Mummy movies?"

"I mean....yeah. Isn't he hot? He actually kinda reminds me of you. So lean and muscular, can kick some ass, AND he has brains too!" Calvin exclaimed with growing excitement. "The most exciting thing that I have found so far was just some arrowheads in my backyard, but that's what led me on my quest!"

Kai burst out into amused laughter. "I gotta tell ya, Cal, I had you pegged all wrong! I figured you were more or less the jockish frat bro kind of guy, and then you go admitting to me that you're a huge nerd!" he grinned, showing off his pearly white, sharp teeth. "Hunkiest nerd I've ever seen though, even if you've got me pegged a bit wrong yourself, because if I had brains, I probably would have finished high school, and I wouldn't be standing here right now having this conversation with you. You, on the other hand, you've probably got quite the bright future ahead of you."

"Ahhh, come off of that, kitty cat," Calvin mused as he scooted closer. "You are smarter than you look. After all, you are knowledgeable about more than you think, and you're especially knowledgeable about men and what makes them tick. The fact that you are having this conversation with me is kinda nice, too. I like meeting new people, especially ones that are as hot and down to earth as you."

Calvin paused for a moment. "Plus, I did get you pegged wrong too. I thought you were some cool cat that liked to get what he wanted, especially when it came to dumb, dancing himbo bulls, and...I get that's your job, but I was wrong. You are a cool cat that seems to have a good heart and was put in a bad place, and you're trying to make it work. And I find that very commendable."

Much to his chagrin, Kai found himself purring softly from the praise. "Suppose there's a bit more to both of us than meets the eye, huh?" he asked, scooting just a little closer to Calvin so that he was able to rest his head against the big bull's muscular upper arm. "Who calls themselves a himbo, anyway?"

Calvin gave a small huff when he felt Kai's soft fur against his arm but made no move to push him off. In fact, he smiled warmly down at Kai. "I do. I'm a big, dumb, himbo bull, but apparently one who wants to go to college." Calvin looked over Kai, his body scooting even closer so Kai could place his body more comfortably. "Speaking of silly names, do you have a fun stripper name?"

"Ugh, don't remind me. My stripper name is awful as all hell," Kai laughed. "Rusty picked it for me on a whim after he saw that one Chris Evans movie, so he decided I should be called Snowpiercer. My name is one big copyright infringement, but he said it was perfect because I'm a snow leopard and apparently my eyes just pierce the hearts of guys when I get all sultry on them."

"I can agree to that one," Calvin smirked, his tail flicking against the wall before tapping against Kai's right leg. "I thought it would reference something else, but eyes are definitely more appropriate. I promise I won't tell the movie producers that you are using their name for something else entirely." Calvin gave a cheeky grin and winked down at Kai.

Snickering quietly, Kai nuzzled into the strong arm further. "Thanks, Cal. Wasn't too in the mood to go to jail for a name I didn't even pick myself. What do you think you'd want yours to be?"

"Mmmmm, that's a good question, SNOWPIERCER. I guess it would have to be something ironic....I can only think of meat puns right now, but I think 'Flank Steak' might be a little too on the nose. I do kinda want something simple, but nothing like 'Cinnamon'. Not a fan of anything that references food...." Surprisingly, Cal was so transfixed on figuring out his new name and didn't notice the light touches that Kai was giving to his arm while purring.

Thinking quietly to himself while his body kept purring naturally, Kai tried to think up a name himself. "Names have never been a skill of mine, obviously, but it would be amusing if you were something cheesy like Barnyard Bro," he laughed, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the warmth coming off of Calvin's powerful arm.

"Hmmm, I do like Barnyard Bro. Especially since I could add a honkytonk element to the club while still sounding frat-like. Plus, I like the ring to it," Calvin thoughtfully mentioned to no one in particular. "I think I'll stick with that one for now. Thanks for the help, Kai." When Calvin felt Kai's purring vibrating up his arm, the bull smiled. "Your purring feels oddly nice."

The snow leopard tensed up, blushing brightly. "S-sorry, it just kinda happens when I'm relaxed or happy," Kai apologized, glad that Calvin liked the name but embarrassed at the same time. "It's hard for me to stop it once it's started too..."

"No, no, you can continue. I said I_liked_ it, Kai," Calvin chuckled. "Don't mean to hit a nerve on the confident cool cat." Calvin looked over at his partner, his body still warm and slightly aroused from the dance. His member jumped in his shorts, the close proximity to someone as hunky and handsome as Kai slowly beginning to turn him on again. "You're cute when you are all flustered."

The compliment definitely wasn't helping Kai's blushing situation. "You really think so? And here I figured you were only into the strong, dominant types," Kai smirked, sliding himself under Calvin's arm so his head was resting against the bull's chest now.

With Kai's head close to Calvin's heart, the cat could hear the thumping of it echoing through his ears. "Yeah, I'm into strong, dominant types, but you are just as sexy being all commanding when you aren't nearly as tall or large as me. You are still a big dude though, and large where it counts." Calvin gave a wink down at Kai, bringing his arm around the snow cat and pulling him close. "I like someone who can tell me what they want. Whether that's by action or by well-placed words." Calvin looked down at Kai's eyes, glittering and mischievous.

"And I like a man with a big dick and huge muscles," Kai grinned as his blush slowly started to fade, though looking up into Calvin's eyes wasn't helping the tightness in his pants. "A guy who's a bit of a dork as well as a total hunk, who can make me laugh and feel happy just by being in his presence." Cuddling deeper into Calvin's thickly-muscled chest, his purring got even louder as the bull's scent washed over him. "I could stay like this forever..." he added dreamily.

Calvin smirked and said, "Still think that bull musk isn't something that should be bottled and sold? You are such a cuddle bug. Just ignore the thing poking your leg, and I'll ignore yours poking my thigh. If we were in a bed, then I could wrap my whole body around ya. Turn your whole bedroom into one big cuddle puddle. But, in all seriousness, I like a guy who has a softer side and also enjoys just hanging around. Helps if he has a big ass and impressive back and legs. Your thighs could probably pop and crush many large fruits with ease."

Snorting with laughter, Kai turned so he was chest to chest with Calvin. "Says the bull practically twice my size and like a foot taller than me," he laughed, rolling his eyes. "Fruit wouldn't stand a chance against you, you big fruit!"

"Heeeeey, I resent being called a fruit by another fruit! We'd put all major fruit chains out of business...at least locally," Cal mused, his grin infectious. He wrapped his arms around Kai in almost a hug. "I can start by crushing you first. Turn you into a fruit smoothie!" He didn't put any pressure on Kai, not wanting to actually hurt him and used the opportunity to simply hold the purring cat close. In all honesty, he just liked how the vibrations felt against his chest.

"You'd have to make me into a smoothie pretty fast, because with arms like these wrapped around me, I'll probably melt before you have a chance to make me into something delicious," Kai replied, turning his head to the side and giving the bicep near his head a slow lick. "Though I'm sure I'd be nowhere near as delicious as you, Cal..." he purred seductively.

With a low moan, Cal held the cat even closer, and his member throbbed even harder between his legs. "I think you'd be a good contender. I'm sure your seeds are quite delicious...among other things. No need to melt down though, because I like you as a whole fruit. From your stem up to your pretty flowers." Cal lightly stroked Kai's right cheek before leaning forward and giving it a light peck.

If Kai hadn't been blushing profusely before, he definitely was now. "I know we just met like an hour ago, but..." He trailed off before shaking his head. "Ah screw it," he muttered, standing on his tiptoes and pressing his lips against the bull's, kissing him gently as his tail swished from side to side behind him.

Calvin blushed and smacked his lips. After a three second pause, he finally quipped, "Strange, we were just talking about fruit, and you taste like blueberries...."

Before Kai could respond to that, however, Calvin quickly said, "Want...to kiss again? Because I would like to do that..."

"Makes two of us, stud," Kai chuckled breathlessly, his heart pounding in his chest as he leaped up onto Calvin and wrapped his arms around the bull's thick neck, kissing him harder and with vigor as he wrapped his legs around Calvin's hips.

Calvin grunted as he was climbed like a tree, and he used his strength to grab the back of Kai's thighs and heave him up so the snow leopard was not just hanging off of him without purchase. Calvin kissed back with just as much passion, taking control of the gesture somewhat. The blush was still around his cheeks, but the light mooing he made showed it was not only because he felt romantic attraction to Kai, but because his dick was threatening to shoot through his shorts.

The control was quickly wrestled away from him, however, when he felt a sly tongue get shoved into his mouth momentarily only to be wrenched away with dangerous precision when Cal started to briefly suckle on it. The immense strength that Kai showed, along with his flexible movements, eliminated any doubt that Kai could be physically pushed around.

Giving Calvin's lower lip a playful nip, the cat's blue eyes glittered in the dim light of the alley, pulling back and looking straight into the bull's own azure orbs before finally releasing the lip from his gentle yet firm bite. "At the risk of sounding like a complete slut...You wanna fuck me on that dumpster, Cal?" Kai asked in a husky tone that clearly meant that he was dead serious about the proposition.

Between quick pants and with his dick throbbing obscenely between his legs now, Cal carried Kai over to near the dumpster but then placed him back to the ground and gently forced him up against the brick wall, pressing his chest flush to the snow panther's back. "Don't you think you deserve to be fucked somewhere that's a little cleaner? A prince like you deserves a castle to be bred in....AND will you go on a date with me sometime this week?" Calvin was already working his shorts and jock down with one hand while unbuckling Kai's pants with the other. After he pushed his shorts and jock down just enough to have his cock pop free, the bull began to kiss Kai's neck in earnest, as if promising through his actions that he will be gentle.

Despite being aroused beyond belief, Kai's mind still managed to process the absurdity of the situation, and he found himself laughing. "You really are one of a kind, Cal! You're the first guy who's ever asked me out on a date right before we fucked," he snickered. "Usually it's after we fuck, but for you, Cal, I'll make an exception to the apparent rule. Fuck this prince nice and hard, and then take him back to your castle for a date, my big handsome knight!" Kai panted, grinding his ass back against Calvin's cock while reaching down to fish his own out of his leather pants and slide them down a bit further to free his balls.

"Mmmmf, yes sir. Gotta make sure to prep the prince for his sword swallowing exercise," Calvin replied in earnest with the lewd joke. He kicked his shorts off, leaving the whistle around his neck and the jock around his legs, which made it awkward when it came to kneeling down, but he was so horny that he did not care that he stumbled a little bit. Kai was mewling, pushing his ass back so needfully that Calvin had to grab it to stabilize himself before shoving his face in between the snow leopard's huge ass cheeks and start to lick at the hole between the two muscular glutes.

He made sure to salivate heavily, using his tongue to punch through the cat's tight hole and lick inside to coat the walls with plenty of natural lubricant. His slurps and groans were showing that he was enjoying his late night snack. Taking his right hand away from Kai's rump, the bull cupped Kai's balls lovingly, then moved away from the snow leopard's hole to lick and suckle on his balls before trailing his tongue back upwards across the cat's taint, then up to his lover's tight hole and started to devour it once again.

Kai was moaning harder with each passing second as Calvin's surprisingly skilled tongue attacked his ass with more vigor than some of his past lovers had in their entirety of their time together, making his cock leak all over the floor of the dirty alleyway. "G-goddamn, Cal...where did you learn to give a rimjob like this?" he panted, his body shaking slightly as pleasure surged throughout his lithe form.

Cal stopped for a moment and moved away from Kai's ass, panting and beginning to sweat. "I-I don't know....I just really fucking love ass, and I especially love yours. You smell so amazing...." Calvin leaned forward to get another sniff, and contrary to popular belief, an ass doesn't always smell bad, and Kai's was no exception. It seemed that whatever shower product he used, as well as his natural musk, blended together to give it a hypnotic scent. Cal dove back in, giving Kai's hole a kiss before licking and slobbering over it, his own cock leaking down onto the alleyway to show his immense pleasure at treating Kai's ass to one sloppy rimjob. He held Kai with both hands for a moment, gripping onto the snow leopard's rump like his life depended on it before using one hand to fondle Kai's balls once again before slowly jerking him off, milking him slowly and teasingly.

The spotted feline moaned with need, his manhood throbbing in Calvin's hand, and he knew it wouldn't be long before the combination of the bull's tongue and his hand would bring him to an embarrassingly early orgasm. "C-Cal, stop a sec," Kai groaned, biting his lip as he tried to keep his voice down, in case someone happened to be passing by on the street at the far end of the alley. "I'm gonna cum if you keep that up much longer!"

Calvin pulled away, not wanting to end the fun too soon. His muzzle was covered in his own saliva, and he licked his lips as if he just dug into a five-course meal in a short amount of time. He gave a small moo of protest as he willed himself to stop jacking the leopard off and stood back up. "God...fuck, I want to see you cum really bad, but I'll get you to cum after eating you out when we do this again. Not 'IF', by the way, my sweet kitty cat."

Placing his cock in between the snow leopard's asscheeks, the bull rolled his hips to hear the sweet sound of a good ass eating; the squelching of his saliva and the feeling of a very warm and tight hole opening up just ever so slightly when the head of his cock stroked on by.

"When, eh? Well then, I look forward to that tongue of yours next time, but for right now, you better be pushing that dick in me soon, Cal! I need it so bad!" Kai moaned, grinding his ass back against the hotdogging cock. In truth, he hated looking like a slut, but something about his new coworker was bringing out that side of him in force, and he couldn't care less at the moment. All he cared about was getting a deep, thick breeding from the hunk of a bull.

Almost like he had too much to drink, Calvin pushed down the rest of his jock haphazardly, not caring if anyone down the alleyway was getting the show of a lifetime of a semi-naked brick wall of a beast slipping into a mewling snow leopard. When the tip of his cock entered the snow leopard, he felt the warmth and tightness of Kai's ass squeeze around him, and he had to bite into his right index finger knuckle to prevent himself from unleashing a loud moo of conquest. Kai's ass at first wanted to push out the invading stick of beef, but as Calvin pushed deeper and deeper, and the cool saliva worked its magic, his twelve-inch slab of pure man meat made its way deeper and deeper into Kai.

"S-shit, Cal..." Kai moaned as inch after inch slowly sank into his tight depths. "Feels even...aaah...bigger when it's inside me! Nnnng, not sure how your ex managed to take this beast!" he chuckled breathlessly before jumping slightly as the head of the bull's manhood brushed his prostate for the first time, making him let out a less than subdued moan.

Wiggling his hips and blushing a bit, Cal leaned forward onto Kai's back and chuckled. He gave a grunt when Kai squeezed around him in response. "Well...funny story is that I usually bottomed for him. This is only the third time I have ever topped. Two one of them were with him..." Feeling the walls of Kai's ass suck him further and further inside, Cal groaned openly and had to bite his lips to stifle another moo.

"C-could have fooled me, with all the dominant energy coming off of you," Kai replied in a strained tone as he felt Calvin finally bottom out inside of him. "Nnnngh, fuck, you're so hot as a top, Cal! Your big dick needs to get more use out of it!"

"Well, what better way to start that then with some tight pussy?" Cal laughed at his own joke, but was equally turned on by how much Kai was into his more dominant side. "I learned alot from power bottoming and porn. Plus, I know how it feels to bottom. To get all your cracks and crevices filled to the breaking point by one...big...stud." Cal punctuated each of the last three words with three equally long and hard thrusts to sink himself all the way inside of his lover. His large bovine balls were pressed flush to Kai's smaller but equally impressively-sized orbs, and his thighs gave an audible smack when they hit right up against Kai's rump. Calvin rubbed the snow leopard's ass lovingly and moved a hand down to grip the feline's right hip possessively.

"God, I love hearing you beg. My ex was so quiet...Tell me how much you want me to pound you, Kai," Calvin ordered devilishly with a low rumble to his voice. "Tell me how much you want me to fill you up." He left his body still, only rubbing Kai and basking in the feeling of a tight, warm butt.

Kai growled quietly, pushing his ass back on Calvin's cock lustfully. "I need you to fuck me, Cal! I want you to pump everything you have into my ass and knock me up with your calves!" the snow leopard begged, looking over his shoulder to watch the bull inside of him. "Or if you don't, I'll just have to fuck myself on you," he grinned, tightening his ass around Calvin's manhood.

"That's a good boy, Kai!" Cal said with a small chuckle. "Fine, then prepare for the ride of your life, kitten!" Calvin started to piston his hips, pulling out of Kai and hearing the "schlorp" sound of the lubricated muscle squeezing around his cock until the only thing that was left inside of the muscular cat was the very tip of his dick. With a grunt, Cal pushed into Kai, which gave a soft pop of the hole stretching around the large stick of bull meat and giving some slack to the assault. The sound of the watery squelch of precum mixed with lube reached Cal's ears when he hilted back in along with a ceremonious slapping sound of his thighs and balls hitting against Kai's.

"Fuck, only a few thrusts, and I'm already feeling like I'm about to pop," Cal groaned as he repeated the motion, this time a bit faster.

Smirking and looking back at Calvin, Kai replied, "Heh, knew my ass was the best around, but I'm impressed I can make a stud like you feel like you're gonna blow already!" While he was still looking over his shoulder, he watched Calvin thrusting into his ass at a steady pace, admiring the way the hunky bovine's muscles flexed with each motion and licking his lips as he saw the bead of sweat start to trickle down between the bull's thick, juicy pecs. "You look amazing tonight, Cal," he grunted, resting his face and arm against the brick wall so he could both steady himself and keep watching Calvin fuck him.

Calvin was grunting and even growling through each thrust, his biceps flexing as he held onto Kai's fluffy and muscular ass and hips. The crack of each hilt into the snow leopard rewarded him with a warm hug from Kai's hole and threatened to milk everything he had out of his full and pendulous balls. The bull stood up straight and tall to give his lover the optimum view of his immaculate body as his pecs bounced underneath the tight tank top. The clothing felt so constrictive to Calvin that the bull stopped thrusting in order to pull off the tanktop and throw it to the side before continuing his pounding even harder. Drool dripped down the side of his muzzle, and his balls stung slightly from hitting against Kai's over and over again.

"God...I want to cum inside you so bad, Kai. You are so fucking hot and such a stud. You are squeezing around me so nicely like you never want me to leave..."

"Because I don't want you to! And you better not pull out before you pump me full of that warm load, you hear me?" Kai moaned, his own balls feeling like they were going to pop any second from the assault on his prostate. "God...your dick feels amazing, like you're gonna fuck the cum right out of me!" The cat was sweating, the heat trapped in by his leather jacket making his body feel like it was on fire as his orgasm grew closer and closer.

Reaching down to grasp Kai's balls, the bull lightly tugged on them before rolling them in his hand, making his lover's legs begin to shake. "Fuck...I'm gonna cum, Kai. I'm gonna blow my load so deep inside of you...I want you to cum too, though. I want you to splatter these walls with your load, and then I want to breed your sloppy hole again when you want it. You ready for my load, Kai?" Cal's own legs started to shake, his low moans starting to heighten in pitch as his balls began to pull up towards his body, ready to squeeze and unleash their payload right into Kai.

"Fucking fill me, Caaaaaaah!!!" the cat started to reply before his words turned into a roar of pleasure as the bull's cock punched his prostate just right, and his balls immediately tensed up, his cock throbbed, and he splattered rope after hot rope of hot feline seed all over the brick wall and the ground beneath him. As he came harder than he'd cum in months, his hole tightened up around Calvin's manhood, increasing Cal's pleasure from pounding a tight hole.

Calvin could barely say anything as he gave a gasp followed by one confused moo when he felt the unfamiliar sensation of walls closing around his cock, one really low moo when he heard Kai cumming and seeing it splatter all over the brick wall of the alleyway, and one long and loud moan on par with Kai's yell as he immediately dumped everything his balls had into Kai with one hard thrust. His body shook with each jet of thick, white hot cum, and he gave several gasps of intense pleasure mixed with relief.

His balls continued to pump jet after jet into the snow leopard, and Calvin moved his hands up to Kai's shoulders to hold him flush against his body until his spurts turned into trickles. The flow of cum was so intense that a lot of it backed up around Cal's cock and splattered out onto the ground. Calvin was a hot and panting mess when his orgasm was over, and he playfully rolled his hips against Kai to hear his work; the squelching of cum around his cock and the wet sounds of his jizz hitting the ground being a testament to his breeding capabilities.

"Oh my God..." Cal said simply as he stood panting and heaving, sweat trickling down his body, his pecs and abs contracting and relaxing as he shivered and shook in post-orgasm bliss. "I hope no one heard our finish...The music was loud enough, but fuck that was just too hot to keep quiet about."

Panting and leaning back so his back was pressing against Calvin's chest, Kai nuzzled up under the bull's chin. "Even if they did, I wouldn't care, because as far as I'm concerned, I just got bred by the single hottest guy at the club tonight," the cat purred, rubbing his abs and imagining the size of the load Calvin had pumped into him. "Fuck, if every time with you is this good, I'm definitely going to have to keep you around and find every excuse I can to get paired with you on stage. Get you all hot and bothered from the dance, then sneak off to some dark corner for you to fuck my brains out again."

"Please and thank you," Calvin said with a chuckle as he wrapped his arms around the smaller male and lightly squeezed him in a hug. "If I get to breed your ass every night after stripping, then I'll be one lucky man....Also, you didn't have to go on tonight, did you? Cause I don't want you leaking on stage before your show..." Calvin shuffled a bit, his cock naturally softening and the excess of the load sloppily falling onto the ground. "Heh, hate what the janitors would think about our little messes if they happened inside."

"They're probably used to it. And nah, I didn't have to dance tonight, since Rusty wanted me training you and orienting you with the place. Though it seems like I more or less got you well acquainted with my insides, rather than the inside of the club," Kai chuckled. "And not gonna lie, I'd be one happy cat if I got laid like this at the end of every shift. Believe it or not, the love life has been rather...barren, lately. I'm so used to guys being shallow and only seeing me for my job, and that's just such a turn-off, you know?"

Calvin took a pause, giving Kai's ear a little nibble. "I'm not going to lie and say the fact you are a stripper isn't fucking hot, but I love how open you are about yourself and how you are trying to improve yourself. But you know what? I think you are lovely just the way you are now. I'd like to get to know you a little more, though. I know I'm inside your ass, so thinking about food right now might not be on your priority list, but what is your favorite restaurant? And don't you dare say a fast food joint..."

Kai snorted with laughter. "Honey, do you think I got a body like this from eating at fast food places? Though I will admit I do have a weakness for Mexican and Indian food, so I'd probably pick one of those kinds of restaurants, if you're still set on taking me on a date and that wasn't just a ploy to get me to melt and beg you to fuck me," he smirked.

Cal thrusted forward teasingly, making sure to get an "oof" out of Kai. "No, that wasn't just a ploy to hook up. Even though you are very hot and super my type. So, how about we go on a date on Friday? I can take you to a good Mexican place, and since Friday is three days away, I have three more days to woo you even more. Sound like a plan?"

The feline's lips slowly slipped into a smile, and he slung an arm around the back of Calvin's neck, pulling his face downwards so Kai could plant a soft kiss on the bull's muzzle. "That sounds like a wonderful plan to me. For now though, we just need to go slow. Sure, I know we kinda skipped the romance bit and went straight to the sex, but I just want to be sure I'm not rushing into something because of a crush, and I'm gonna just get my heart broken later, you know? I really like you, Cal, and I'd like for things to work between us, both on the stage and off of it."

"I totally understand, studmuffin," Cal said and leaned forward to kiss Kai passionately. Their lips smacked together audibly before he pulled away. "I don't know what it's like for someone to just disappear after taking things fast, but I would never want to put someone in that position. If you want though....I'm totally up for still having sex, even though we have a date on Friday, 'cause your ass is divine."

Although Cal was complimenting Kai's backside fervently, his cock had become flaccid to the point that it popped right on out of Kai, and the bull was simply right up against Kai's rump and smiling contentedly.

"Hmmm, I suppose I might be persuaded into another romp before you've taken me on that date. Heaven only knows a cock like yours is addictive. Don't know if I'd be able to resist you if we got into this position again," the snow leopard smirked. "Hell, we only just fucked, and my ass is already itching to be filled again!"

Giving a low moo of approval, Cal leaned close and said, "Talk like that, and I'm gonna have to breed you again. You'll get a full clutch of bull and leopard cubs at this rate." Chuckling at the crude joke, Calvin nuzzled against Kai affectionately. "But seriously, if you do keep talking like that, I'm gonna get hard again..."

"As much as I'd love for you to fuck me like that a second time, we should probably get back inside before someone realizes I haven't exactly been training you and showing you around," Kai smirked. "Though I'm going to have to hit up the bathroom and see if I can't get my fur to smell like something other than bull. Can't have the other guys realizing I just got fucked by the new guy, after all."

"O-oh, yeah," Cal said as he moved his completely naked body away from Kai, but not without giving him a smooch on the back of his neck. "Hey uh....I'm really excited about working with you, by the way. I'm also thinking about seeing Rusty again...if uhh....if..." Cal blushed profusely. "I think I better get clean too, or he may smell you on me. Or...if you prefer, I can stay exclusive to you. I know people feel different about that, and I really don't want to fuck anything up between us, so...."

Kai smiled and hiked up his pants, trying to ignore the fact that Calvin's cum was still leaking from his ass and now soaking into his underwear. "Cal, that's really sweet of you to offer, but we haven't been on our date yet, so you don't owe me anything, least of all exclusivity. You're free to go fuck whoever you want, get fucked by our boss, whatever you feel like doing. For right now, we're just coworkers with benefits."

"Awesome," Cal said with a smile, going over to gather up his tank top, gym shorts, and underwear. He quickly began to slip all of it on. "So, what's next in the training, Coach? Got anything that you'd like to show me after we get all washed up?"

The snow leopard tapped his chin after getting his clothing back in place, which didn't take long since he'd only been bottomless. "Well, we'll have to give you a tour of the facility, introduce you to some of the other dancers, probably take you to Rusty so you can fill out your tax forms and stuff, since he's the closest thing we have to an HR person, so overall it's a pretty easy night for you. Unless you hook up with the boss again, then it'll be a much harder night, I'd wager," Kai grinned.
