Mixed experience

I was in town on business, staying a few blocks away from this club. I usually frequent other places in NY -- Flashdancers, Rick's, etc. But since it was so close, I figured what the hell. I entered shortly after midnight. Had a free entry coupon from their website, so I was waived right in. Physical establishment is much as others had described: a big open area with couches and stages, and a full bar at the back of the room. (There may have only been 1 stage. But I seem to recall multiple. As you'll soon read, I didn't get much time to look at the other dancers on the floor.)

I walked in and straight to the bar at the back. Before I could even get to the counter, one of the dancers sitting at the bar put her leg out to stop me. She was 20-something, african-american, long dark hair, very fit body. Her name was Grace. We chatted briefly while I ordered a drink. She introduced me to another friend of hers sitting with her -- a lighter skinned AA girl, with a thicker build. I can't recall her name. Anyway, my drink had just arrived when Grace asked me if I smoked. I said yes. She was a smoker too, and was dying for cigarette. She said "there's a place in the back where we can smoke, if you want to join me." Stupidly, I took the bait, and followed her (and her friend) back into one of the VIP rooms. I said very clearly that I didn't want a dance yet. But she said to the bouncer: "oh, we're just going to have a smoke in one of the rooms, and show him around." So he let us in.

The three of us sat in the room, smoking our cigarettes (which was a rare treat for a NY club). Of course, the two of them start pawing at me, unbuttoning my shirt, kissing me lightly, etc. So I was sucked in pretty easily. About five minutes later, a waitress comes in and takes drink orders. Again, I said I wasn't staying for a dance. But they told me to stay for another drink and smoke....and that's it. Once the round of drinks comes, the two of them start "doing lines" -- including a couple off of my chest. Mind you, I've been around the block -- but this was a little shocking based on previous club experiences. (Maybe it happens more often?)
