Madison stood at the bar, "hey how was Nashville," Vinnie called. Vinnie owned the bar Madison worked. He had helped her with every bit of her career. He tried to help all the girls who worked there. He knew what world thought of them. Yes there were some that fit the stereotypical stripper image. Then there were some that just got use to the money and couldn't go back to a nine to five. They got caught up in the lifestyle. But every once and awhile there was a girl like Madison. They were smart could use this to make something else.

"It was good,"Madison smiled. "He is coming here."

"Really," Vinnie nodded, "be sure to let me know when. I will make sure he get the VIP treatment."

"I really like him," Madison confest.

"He is the wrestler right?"

"Yeah," Madison grabbed her phone, showing Vinnie a picture.

"Well love I do wish you the best," Vinnie did mean that. He watched plenty of girls have their heart broken. It took a strong man, a confident man to date one of theses girls.

….

"So when is the trip to Dallas," Sami asked.

"My days off, I leave Tuesday right after Smackdown," Kevin answered.

"Gee Kevin it sounds like you might be dating," Sami teased.

"You have never seen Ms. Madison, do what she does best," Kevin groaned at the sound of Dolph voice.

"Dolph," Sami could see how annoyed Kevin was. "Shouldn't you be gelling your hair or something."

"I would just think that is a perk of dating a stripped, all thoses free lap dances." Dolph smirked.

"Not all of us have to pay for woman's attention," Baron appeared slapping Dolph on the back.

"Who said I paid," Dolph smirked walking out.

"Ignore him," Baron shook his head. "Trust me he is not Madison's type.

"How do you know her," Sami asked, "well I mean beside."

"She was a dancer for my ex's band," Baron took a seat. "I can tell you she is a great girl. Works likes a horse. She prides herself in how she has been able to run her own career."

"She really doesn't," Sami rolled his hands.

"No," Baron answered wide eyed. "She will not do any private dances. Remember the night you met her?"

"Yeah," Kevin answered.

"All night she was on me to introduce you two," the news shocked Kevin. He figured she was being nice to him after her saved her from the drunks. "She doesn't put herself much. You know how people can judge," Baron stood, "so don't fuck this up Owens."

…..

Kevin stood outside a sign reading Cludhouse. Groups walked in and out. Kevin wished he had someone else with him. He finally followed a crowd in. It was dark and loud. He looked around, groups sat at the bar. There were tables around a stage. There were two girls dancing to the music blurring. Flashing smiles at the man crowded around their feet. They bent over taking the money they offered. "Kevin," he felt a hand on his shoulder, "I am Vinnie," he offered his hand. Kevin shook it, "got you a table," Vinnie lead him through the crowd. "What are you drinking," Vinnie asked.

"Ooh I," Kevin stumbled.

"I got you," Vinnie laughed, squeezing his shoulder. Vinnie left leaving Kevin alone. He wasn't sure where to look. A small glass landed in front of him, Vinnie sat next to him, "to Madison," he held his drink up, Kevin followed suit. It burned going down, and made his eyes burn. "Promised I would take care of you." Kevin smiled. He thought of asking someone to come with him. But he wanted to send with the time with Madison. "Oh here we go," Vinnie pointed. The club quieted down.

"We are very happy to welcome home, from Dallas Texas, Madison Harley." Music started and Kevin watched the stage. Madison appeared, she had a see through genie type outfit. Kevin leaned on the table watching as Madison moved. It wasn't like the other girls or any others stripper he had seen. She truly danced, it was like she was the only one in the room. As music got faster strobe lights hit the stage. Madison was on the pole in the middle of the stage. She had her legs wrapped around it, while her body flew around hands free. What looked like one movement she moved her upper body up, grabbing the pole, twisting her body around it. Between the lights and music she didn't seem real. Her movement was flawless, one motion into another. Kevin noticed all eyes were on her. The room sat in silence watching her. Kevin realized you almost didn't realize her outfit was gone. She ended wrapped around the pole. Once the light came up the room erupted in cheers. They were truly clapping not just whistling and cat calling. "Gentleman, Madison Harley!"

"Come on," Vinnie lead Kevin to the back stage.

….

Kevin spotted Madison standing in sweats and t shirt her hair and

Make up still done. She was talking to a few other dancers. Kevin stood for a minute just watching her. She was truly beautiful, and he was proud of her.

"Kevin," Madison beamed running to him, throwing her arms around him.

"You were amazing," Kevin smiled.

"Thank you," Madison hugged him again. "Vinnie found you?"

"Yes," Kevin nodded.

"Give me five minutes," Madison said, "you can sit out front or here." Kevin looked around at the woman running around him, most less than half dressed.

"Meet you out front," Kevin chuckled.

Kevin sat at the bar, the man next to him was talking to one of the girls. She smiled and giggled at him. She gently kept her hand on his shoulder. "Ten minutes is fifty dollars," the man laughed taking his drink.

"You are cute but not that cute," he got up from his seat walking away. The girl leaned against the bar, looking disappointed. She glanced in Kevin's direction.

"Hey handsome," she moved next to him. "You all by yourself," she batted her eyes.

"No," Kevin straightened up.

"You look alone," she moved in closer.

"Donna," Kevin's head snapped around seeing Madison standing next to him.

"Hey Madison," Kevin caught her tone, she wasn't happy to see her.

"You ready," Madison seemed to ignore her turning to Kevin. Kevin nodded to Donna. He took Madison's hand walking away.

…..

"Thanks for letting me stay here," Kevin said standing in Madison's bedroom doorway.

"Thank you for coming," Madison put her duffle bag, opening it starting to go through it.

"I got the feeling you and Donna don't get along," Kevin stepped in her room.

"No, quite honestly most the girls there don't like me," Madison continued putting things away.

"Why," Kevin asked, he stepped further in. Madison had seemed nothing but nice, "your boss seems to like you."

"He does," Madison flopped on her bed, patted a spot for Kevin.

"So is it just a girl thing," Kevin asked.

"Kinda," Madison pulled her legs up crossing them in front of her. "I did one dance and made twice what they will all night. This job is like any other, you have to be smart." Madison explained.

"I get that."

"I can't do this forever and I don't want to," Madison shrugged, "so I make it work for me."

"So why no private dances," Kevin asked, "don't you make more money?"

"You do," Madison explained, "but like I said I make this work for me. I am no prettier don't have a better body or any sexier than any other girl in there. But if you make people really want something, make them think that there is a chance, kept the fancy alive. I am not really Madison Harley just like you are not really Kevin Owens." Kevin thought about all she said. She was right.

"I get it."

"Most don't," Madison tilted her head, "no I am not the beautiful, perfect hair and makeup goddess you see on stage."

"I don't know," Kevin looked at her, "you look kinda like a goddess to me." Madison smiled leaning in kissing him. He moved closer to her. Madison pulled them both back on her bed. Kevin really wanted this, and Madison made it clear she did to. But insecurity hit him. He wasn't tone and build. The thought of clothes coming off started to make him nervous.

Madison's hand moved his shirt up. Kevin didn't even realize he moved her hand. "You ok," Madison pulled back. Kevin tried to smile back she could see something was wrong. "What?"

"Nothing," Kevin was sure his face was red.

"I was sure you have had sex before," Madison joked.

"Yeah," Kevin sat up on his knees, rubbing his face in his hands.

"Hey," Madison set up, "talk to me."

"You are use to," the last thing he wanted to do was offend her.

"Being naked," Madison couldn't help but smile.

"Right, and you have a ridiculous body," Kevin said wide eyed. "It is just intimidating."

"Kevin," Madison took his face in her hands. He made her heart warm. Most man wanted her bed to be able to brag. Something about his shyness, was refreshing. He wasn't trying to impress her or show her off. "One second," Madison climbed off her bed. Kevin looked over her shoulder, as she walked to the wall. The room went dark, he felt the bed dip.

"My god it is pitch black," Kevin noticed not even the outside light came in.

"I have darken curtains," Madison moved closer to him. He felt her reach for his hands. "I work a lot of nights," he could feel her breath. He reached for her face. Feeling her lips on his he pulled her close.

Instead of making an issue or arguing. Madison just fixed the problem. It did give Kevin a sense of security. She wanted to be with him. How ever it was, whatever he needed to get there.

There was something about not having any light to see by. Your other senses kicked in. Every touch, every sound and every smell was more intense. It was easier to let go, be more open. There was something more raw and real about it.

Madison couldn't remember the last time anyone made her feel like this. Most man wanted a performance from her. Or thought they were shooting porn with cheesy dirty talk. Maybe it was because of the dark but he took his time. His lips and hands had found every inch of her. She never wanted anyone so bad. "Kevin," she pleaded.

"Kevin what," his voice was in her ear. She reached feeling his arms on either side of her.

"Please."

"Please what," she could hear his smirk.

"Cocky little shit, in the dark," she muttered. He chuckled, kissing down her neck. She felt his knee push her legs further apart. She was ready to plead and beg. She squirmed under him to get closer.

"Easy," there was a confidence in his voice. He had found his control. It wasn't some caveman thing, he wanted her to know and feel, how much he felt for her. Madison's hands moved up his arms to his face she pulled him to her mouth kissing him hard. His body moved in to hers finally giving her what she wanted. He finally broke their kiss, relishing every moan he brought from her. He fought to hold on as she tightened around him. He felt her body go soft and a satisfied hum leave her. Before he let go.

Kevin rolled next to her, he caught his breath. He left Madison move off the bed hearing her feet padded across the room. His eye shut from the bathroom light that appeared. Madison closed the door. Kevin heard the bathroom door, and Madison coming back to bed. She crawled in next to him pulling the cover over them. "Thank you," Kevin whispered. Madison lead her head on his chest and snuggled closer.
