#4 of The Den


Lexter Alley sat at the table in 'The Den' with Peter and his boyfriend as he waited for his turn to strip down naked.

The past three weeks of working at The Den had been a big adjustment for Lexter, but he managed to fit into the mood and chemistry of the patrons at the nightclub. Lexter developed a thick fur to deal with the constant sexual taunts, and let them roll off of him. If someone reached out to paw him, he exhibited just enough intimidation to let them know that it was unwelcomed, but not too much to scare them. The customers accepted him on his terms, and vice versa. Lexter adjusted to being stared at, and even posed for a few of the leering eyes that fell his way, much to the approval of customers.

Lexter talked to his mother over the phone and told her about all of the experiences of working as a waiter at the gay bar. He apologized to her about continually arguing with her about stripping for a living, and empathized with her about why she did it. He tearfully thanked her for paying for his expensive ballet classes. She thanked him for the empathy. "Of course I paid for them. I love you." she said to him.

Lexter also talked to his online friend James about his experiences working at 'The Den'. James surprised Lexter by saying that he looked nice in his stretchy shorts. Lexter was shocked by this, since he only wore those stretchy shorts on his first night. "You were there that night, and didn't say 'Hi' to me?" he typed to James. James mentioned some lame excuse to Lexter. "Srry, but was there with someone else. I'll say 'Hi' to you when I'm there again." Lexter stuck his tongue out at the computer screen, and wished that James wouldn't do this to him.

With frugal spending of his income and adamant savings of his paychecks and tips, Lexter amassed a good sized down payment for a very decent graphics computer. With Barry and Barry's father in tow, he purchased the computer with a bank loan with Barry's father cosigning the loan. Both of them helped Lexter to set up the computer in the apartment for Lexter. Barry imposed himself between Lexter and the computer and spoke to him in a condescending voice about the importance of not practicing ballet around it. Lexter nodded his head happily as he squirmed to get around the badger to his nice and brand new shiny graphics computer.

Now, Lexter owned his own decent graphics workstation that he could work his graphics homework and projects on whenever he wished to. Barry referred to it as 'A supremo porn surfing machine'. Sometimes while walking home from work, he would think of an idea for his summer project. He would walk into the apartment, turn on his computer, and do some work on it. Sometimes late at night, Barry would stumble out of his bedroom to go to the bathroom, see Lexter working away and say "Duuuuuuuude..."

Initially, Lexter dreaded the male review show. But after he went to the university dance studios and worked out a few routines, he got into the mood of it. He put together some music, and got his outfit ready.

Lexter and Peter became fast friends. Lexter invited Peter to the dance studios at the university, and they spent their time showing each other dance steps. Peter showed Lexter his sexy walks and his ability to portray extreme sex when he performed. He also showed Lexter dance routines he put together. In turn, Lexter showed Peter his ballet steps and a few of his jazz ensembles, which Peter studied with interest. Peter told Lexter that he didn't want to show Lexter his specialty steps just yet. "You'll have to see it to believe it." he told Lexter. Lexter smiled as he wondered what it could be. And today, he waited for his turn to come up. Peter was scheduled to perform after Lexter.

Right now on the dance floor, a muscled good looking male skunk shook his body to the horny crowd with expertise. The skunk danced with the skill of a seasoned dancer, and flexed his muscles for the crowd. The crowd yelled for fur to show, and he rewarded them by stripping off his shirt and throwing it to the crowd. Two competing furs caught the shirt and a tug of war on it ensued, resulting in the shirt being torn in half, and the halves being profusely smelled and pawed by the surrounding furs. The skunk showcased his physique to the crowd, and the crowd rewarded him with waves of money from soon to be groping paws.

Next to Lexter sat Peter and his boyfriend Harold, a 125 kgs raccoon a few cm taller than Peter. This was his first night out after spending a month at home battling pneumonia. He dressed very warm, and possessed a bottle of cough medicine and a thermos full of hot tea and honey. Peter sat next to him and fretted over him.

Lexter worried about Harold. "Are you sure you're OK to be out?" Peter echoed the sediment.

Harold sipped his steaming tea and honey mix. In a weak and shaky voice he answered "Yes, I'm OK enough." He pulled out a hanky and coughed into it. "I've been cooped up at home, vegetating in front of the TV, waiting to get better long enough. I need to be out." He turned to Peter with a sparkle in his eye. "Besides, my boyfriend is performing tonight. I can't miss that."

Peter smiled back. "I can always perform for you at home. My special way." He adjusted the warm coat on Harold. "Just please, stay warm. I want you to be better."

Harold nodded as he sipped his tea. "It was dumb of me to get sick." He spoke to Lexter. "I was on a job interview a month ago, and my car wouldn't start after the interview. So I had to walk home ten miles in the rain." He coughed into his hanky again. "That was real dumb of me."

Lexter winced at that thought.

Harold asked Lexter "So, you're a computer person too?" He sipped his cough medicine.

Lexter nodded. "I am. I'm majoring in computer graphics at school along with dance."

Harold cleared his throat and said "I'm a programmer myself. Right now, I'm trying to learn an interesting Australian programming language called 'Dingo'. I'm not that conversant in it, but I can do some things on it." He thumped his chest. "It's all the rage now for computer jobs, unfortunately for me."

Lexter shook his head. "I'm not a programmer at all. I leave that to my roommate Barry. I do computer art and related projects."

Harold said to Peter "You know, once I get a real job, you can quit this *cough cough* place, dear."

Peter shrugged. "I like it here. It's not too bad."

Lexter watched the interaction between the two. He could see the intense love the two held for each other. He asked the two of them "So, how did you meet?"

Peter looked at Harold with luvy-duvy eyes. "We met at 'The West Coast Chubby Fur Convention'. I stripped there. And... and you saved me, my love."

Harold looked at Peter with surprise. "Wow. You told him?"

Peter shrugged. "Why not? I feel comfortable enough around him to open up." He faced Lexter and said "I... don't like to talk about it that much, so please don't tell anyone about me?"

Lexter nodded. "Sure."

Harold said to Lexter "When I saw him, it was pretty much love at first sight." He looked at Peter with love in his eyes. "How could I not fall in love with you? You're so beautiful."

Peter rubbed Harold's nose with his own. "You're beautiful too. But you did so much more than go after my body. You loved me. And, you saved me. And I love you." He reached out to lightly kiss Harold. Harold kissed back and then turned his head and coughed into his hanky.

"Take it off! Take it off!" Yelled out the crowd of waving paws, loaded with money. The skunk walked into the paws and let them take his pants off, which they did, along with lots of groping of various body parts and strategic insertions/placements of money.

Lexter's eyes went wide when he saw this. Is that what I have to do? He swallowed nervously as he envisioned dozens of gay paws caressing his body and undoing his clothes. I'll just pretend they're from the opposite sex... or something... He stood up and announced "I guess I better get back to the dressing room... and, um... gear up." He gave a nervous smile.

Harold nodded to Lexter. "You'll be great. You're a natural."

Peter said to Lexter in a snarky voice "Wag a tail dog. Watch for wandering paws." He followed it up with a wet tongue sound and a grasping paw held out. Harold mildly chastised Peter. Lexter nervously laughed as he tried to put on a brave face.

Lexter made his way to the dressing room, with audience members giving him the eye, and an occasional paw brush. He looked out to the dance floor and saw the skunk approach the 'Full Furry Showoff' stage, with a lot of paws helping him out. But the skunk didn't seem worried as two competing paws took turns to see how big he would swell out to. Lexter gulped out of nervousness as he entered the dressing room.

Lexter spent his time in the dressing room going over his routine in his head. He performed basic ballet steps and pirouettes to relax himself. For his outfit, he decided to go simple, with good but old jeans, an old tank top and an old jacket. It gave him a rugged look. And of course, an under the tail thong. He worked on his high kicks, bringing his knee to his chest with each kick.

After about ten minutes, the naked and visibly aroused skunk entered the dressing room, carrying his clothes and a bag of cash. The loud cheering indicated a very happy crowd. The skunk sat down in a chair and began to dress himself. "So, are you ready for your debut?"

Lexter shook out his shoulders and nervously nodded. "Yeah... yeah... I am... oh fur..." He leaned forward with paws on his knees as he felt a bit light headed.

The skunk laughed at Lexter. "Hey, don't worry. The hardest part is waiting to go out there for the first time." He donned his underwear. "But once you start, you just fall into the act of it. Besides, you've performed in front of others before, right? You're a natural dancer and performer."

Lexter raised his head to the skunk and nodded. "I know... I know... but this is my first time... you know..." He straightened up.

The skunk shrugged. "You're right. But you'll do fine." He flopped out his pants. "My first time on stage, my girlfriend was in the audience, and she made it better, so it worked for me."

The MC announced to the crowd Lexter's name. The crowd cheered, then began to chant "Husk... husk... husk..."

Lexter walked to the door. "OK... OK... that's me." And with that he walked out to the dance floor.

The dance floor was pretty good sized. Surrounding the perimeter of the floor were a line of chairs, filled with male furs all bent on having a good time. Lexter quickly scanned the crowd for any females. He couldn't see a single one, not even Jamie. Then in the back area, he spotted her sitting a few tables away, aptly watching. He smiled back at her, hoping that his smile was intended for her. He saw that she noticed.

The music started, and he struck his pose, waiting for the beat to lead him into the dance. Once it started, he let the pulsing music drive his body into the dance. He stepped lightly across the dance floor, doing a complex dance step, ending with his butt to the crowd, wagging his tail to the beat of the music. The crowd enjoyed it greatly. He dropped a shoulder, and dropped part of his jacket off, showing some fur. The crowd yelled out their approval and yelled for more fur.

Lexter felt a lot better, now that he was in sync with the music. He knew the steps by heart and his body responded to the beat. He shook his hips as he slowly teased the audience with the removal of his jacket, giving a good view of his well-developed shoulders. One excited fur at the perimeter of the crowd smiled and cheered for him, holding out his paws for his clothes.

Lexter strutted past the crowd perimeter as he removed the jacket and tossed it to a safe corner. A few paws reached out and touched his arms and inserted money into his pants, as Lexter flexed his arms. One fur grasped his tank top and tugged too hard, but Lexter gave him an almost scary but sexy look. The fur let go, but meekly smiled back. His neighboring friends patted him on his back, commending him on his bravery. Lexter reached out and caressed his muzzle, then moved on to other audience members. Another audience member grasped his tail with a big smile. He inserted a wad of cash into Lexter's pants. Lexter smiled at him and walked away, drawing the paw along the tail. His friends cheered his success.

Lexter went back to the center of the dance floor and teased the audience by pulling up his shirt, revealing his abdominal muscles. The crowd yelled for it to come off. Lexter spotted Jamie in the crowd, and noticed she sat closer to the edge, taking an active interest with him. Lexter smiled as he performed a double spin, ending up facing her. Jamie's eyes went wide as she smiled back.

Lexter strutted in sync to the music as he slinked off the tank top, moving his shoulders to the beat. The audience members yelled out for more, but Lexter focused on Jamie as he approached her. With a careful toss, he threw his shirt to her in a high arc. Other paws tried to grab it, but it sailed through the air into her waiting paws. She grabbed the shirt and smelled it, while she stared at his topless body with a smile.

Lexter hooked his thumbs into his pants, and slowly strutted toward the grasping paws. It's now or never, he thought to himself. He leaned into the paws, and let them caress his fur. After a moment of fondling, he decided it wasn't that bad. One paw went for his bulge, and he allowed it to give a gentle cup from an excited fox. I can do this, he resolved, as the audience members inserted money into his pants. Deep in his pants.

Lexter undid his pants and exposed his bulging crotch covered by an inadequate thong. He made his way back to his jacket and stripped off his pants. The crowd yelled out. "Fur... fur... fur..." they chanted. He turned back to the crowd and gyrated his hips about.

Lexter spotted Harold and Peter, waving some money at him. He side stepped his way over to them, and gave Harold a good view of his thong. He approached Harold and beckoned for the paws to touch him. Harold inserted the money into his thong with a goofy smile on his face while Peter hugged him and screamed.

Lexter worked the crowd, but the wandering paws wanted more, as they kept trying to take off the thong. Lexter allowed it, and before long stood naked on the dance floor, with money scattered about him and the thong around his ankles. The groping paws worked on arousing the husky.

Lexter saw Jamie wave money at him. He danced over to her and stood in front of her, already partially aroused. She eyed him with a mischievous glint in her eye, and with one paw inserted the money into his curly tail, while another paw lightly caressed his malehood, invoking full arousal. Lexter's eyes went wide. The action stunned Lexter so much, he almost stopped dancing as he fully swelled up in front of Jamie. The MC announced to the crowd "Now there's a happy doggy!"

Reluctantly, Lexter moved away from Jamie and continued to work the crowd and grasping paws, as he relieved the horny furs of their money in exchange for a grope. Lexter let the paws grope his cock, tail and other body parts as the excited furs got what they wanted in exchange for a feel.

After the music ended, Lexter collected the money and his clothes, waved to the crowd, and walked back into the dressing room. He entered the dressing room naked and still visibly aroused. In the room stood Peter dressed in an over the top leather outfit, with zippers located in all the wrong spots. He performed a full splits on the ground, which Lexter noticed. "Wow, flexible." He said to Peter.

Peter nodded back to Lexter. "And you claim to be straight. I see you responded well to the groping machine." he said to the husky as he pointed to Lexter's arousal.

Lexter sat down and dressed in his regular clothes. With a chuckle he responded "Hey, now this is predominantly from Jamie."

Peter stood up and shook out his body. "Yeah yeah, Lexter, whatever." He leaned forward to the ground, putting his paws on the ground. "Now for my specialty move." He slowly leaned onto his paws, and hoisted his feet above his head, to perform a perfect pawstand.

Lexter nodded at the ability. "Wow, nice." He marveled at Peter's strength and balance.

Peter turned his head and said "Wait, there's more." He slowly bent his back into an extreme back bend, and put his feet onto his head, then onto his shoulders. He turned himself into a ball of fur, leather and zippers. "Now, to entertain, my way." And walked out to the dance floor on his paws

Lexter's eyes went very wide at the extreme bendiness of the rabbit. He's incredible, he thought to himself. Lexter put on his pants as he heard the industrial rock music start, and the crowd yelled for Peter's act.

After Lexter finished dressing, he counted out his money and smiled. He made more tonight than he averaged in a week of tips. Dancing at 'The Den' male review is proving to be quite beneficial, he said to himself. He packaged the cash up into his wallet, and went out to the main area of the nightclub.

Peter danced about on the dance floor, alternating between his feet and paws, staying in sync with the driving beat of the industrial music. The crowd yelled out their approval, and waved money for him to approach. Peter occasionally unzipped a zipper, to entice the crowd to yell out louder. Harold sat on the side as he watched Peter while sipping his tea, with lust in his eye.

Lexter walked through the nightclub and looked for Jamie. He hoped she was still here. During all of this time he worked at 'The Den', she managed to avoid almost all contact with him, which confused him. He wanted to hook up with her and dance. Her ability to dance up a storm intrigued him. And the fact that she was female didn't hurt. Tonight was the first time she actually paid attention to him. And, with a caress to his cock, which he enjoyed very much. As he walked, other furs congratulated him on a job well done, occasionally touching him. Lexter smiled back and thanked them for the feedback.

Finally in 'Cub Central', he spotted Jamie sitting at a table alone, wearing his shirt. With a smile, he approached her and hoped she wouldn't avoid him.

Lexter neared her table and said "Hey there, can I join you?" He hoped she wouldn't shun him again.

Jamie surprised Lexter by accepting his invite. She waved to the chair opposite of her. She looked at him and smiled back. "Yes. I was hoping you would."

Lexter sat down in the chair. Immediately, a large sized lion approached Lexter, stuck his paw into his shirt, left a wad of cash and gushed on him in an excited voice "Oh wow! That was amazing! I liked it when you..."

Leaning away from the imposing lion, Lexter reached into his shirt and handed back the cash. In an apologetic voice he said "Do you mind? We're having a private conversation here."

The lion glanced at Jamie, and then back to Lexter. "Oh... sorry about that." Sheepishly, he held up his paw to Lexter. "No no, keep the cash." He turned and left.

Jamie looked off to the side, a bit miffed.

Lexter meekly apologized to her as he put the money away. "Sorry about that, I guess I have fans."

Jamie nodded while she stared off to the dance floor. After a moment, she said "This... is a bad idea." She started to stand up. "I should just leave."

Lexter caught her paw and pleaded with her "No, please stay. I... really want to talk with you."

Jamie smiled and sat back down. "OK. I'll stay. But only if I can buy us drinks." She waved to a waiter.

Lexter nodded. "Sure." He relaxed in his chair, relieved.

A waiter named Piko came over and asked them for their order.

Jamie said "Two 'Roaring Zombies', please." The waiter wrote down the order and left.

Lexter asked in a nervous voice "Um... what is... exactly a 'Roaring Zombie'?" He knew them by name, but didn't know what they were made of. Whenever he served them, the smell from the drink indicated something strong and dangerous.

Jamie winked at Lexter. "It's a party drink. You'll like it, big doggie."

Lexter rapidly nodded head and nervously said "S-sure..."

The two of them sat in uncomfortable silence, as a list of questions went through Lexter's mind. Finally, he broke the silence "Um... Jamie? On the first night we met. Why did you react to me like that?"

Jamie kept her focus on the dance floor, avoiding looking at Lexter. "It's nothing. Really. You... just reminded me of someone I know."

Lexter glanced out to the dance floor, and saw Peter partially stripped down, showing his ass to the audience while doing an extreme back bend standing on his paws. He approached a screaming audience member, snatched his money with his toe paw and inserted it between his but cheeks while he caressed the fur's cheek with his other toe paw. "Wow, he's incredible!" Lexter blurted out.

Jamie said "He's one of the best." She turned her eyes to Lexter. "You're incredible too." She reached out to Lexter's paw and gave it a tentative squeeze.

Lexter squeezed back with a smile. "Thanks. But about that first night..."

Jamie pulled back her paw. She nervously spoke. "Please... it's it's nothing..."

Right then, the waiter served two drinks to the table. Jamie dished out the money and asked for another round, to which the waiter wrote down the order, took the money and left. Jamie pushed one drink to Lexter with a coy smile while she took a hold of the other one. "Drink up, Lexter." She gave him a wink.

Lexter glanced down at the drink in fear. He wasn't much of a drinker, and had seen the results of a 'Roaring Zombie' on a few of the customers. He gingerly picked up the drink and tensed up.

Lexter watched as Jamie swigged down the entire glass in four swallows, and then gave Lexter a wicked smile. "Go ahead." She said in a sly soft voice.

Lexter figured that the drink wasn't that bad, since she managed to down it without too much trouble. He put the drink to his mouth and took a big swallow. At once, hot fire roared down his throat, catching him completely off guard. His eyes lit up and he gagged on the burning alcohol as he coughed it up onto the floor. "AAAAHH! AAAAHH! AAAHH!" he yelled out, trying to get ahold of himself.

Immediately, Jamie leaned over the table and patted him on the back as she fretted. "Oh fur, oh fur, oh fur, I'm sorry, oh fur..."

Eventually the pain wore down. Jamie grabbed some water from a neighboring table and handed it to Lexter. "Aaahh... aaahh..." Lexter said as he got a hold of himself. He drank some water and cleared his throat. Setting it down, he saw Jamie across the table on the verge of tears. Immediately he burst out laughing, causing Jamie to also laugh with him.

After the laughing settled down, Lexter said to Jamie "Now I know why it's called a 'Roaring Zombie'." That invoked another round of laughter.

After they settled down, Jamie said to Lexter "I'm sorry about that. I thought it would be OK."

Lexter smiled back and said "No, no, I can handle it... wait..." He held the drink up and took a teeny weeny sip. A small bit of fire raced down his throat, causing his eyes to go wide. "Whoa!" But he held it together. "See? I can do it."

The waiter came back with a second round of 'Roaring Zombies'. Jamie paid for them, picked up her drink and toasted Lexter as he lost his 'Roaring Zombie' virginity. The two of them proceeded to get drunk at 'The Den'.
