y sister asked me to find a good looking guy
that can actually dance to be a male stripper
for her bachelorette party. Want to do it?” Leonora,
tall, elegant, raven-curled and blessed with curves for
days, smiled from behind her broad desk.
Trey set the last aluminum chair against the
whitewashed wall and looked up the long studio
floor at the ballroom dance school’s proprietress
sitting at the far end, close by the double-door
entrance. “Your sister wants a what?” He sauntered
across the heavily waxed dance floor to perch on the
edge of her desk.
Leonora tapped the leather-bound appointment
book before her with her decorative green and yellow
ballpoint. Her red nails gleamed under the studio’s
bright lights. “She wants a male stripper.”
“Huh.” Trey pulled at the elastic holding his fine,

tuck his discreetly pleated tuxedo shirt back into his
snug black dance pants.
That afternoon’s salsa class had been pretty rowdy.

“Forget the phone book.” Leonora scowled. Not
pretty with all that red lipstick. “My sister wants a
man that knows how to dance. Most male strippers
suck at it.”
“Oh.” Trey frowned and folded his arms. “So you
think I’d be better?
“Look, you’re amazingly cute, long blond hair,
blue eyes, you’re built, and you dance like raw sex
when you’re in the mood. You’re perfect.” Leonora
held out his gold, wire-framed glasses. “It’s worth
five hundred bucks.”
Trey froze, hand outstretched. “Five hundred
bucks?”
Leonora smiled broadly. “For twenty minutes of
your time.”
“Wow.” Trey took his glasses and put them on.
The world abruptly dropped into focus. He could see
long distance just fine without his glasses; it was the
middle distance and up close that gave him problems.
“That’s quite a bit of money.”
“All you need to do is show up here.” Leonora
scribbled an address on the back of one of the
ballroom dance school’s business cards. “Bring a g-
