The text was cryptic, just a time, the hotel name and a room number, from an unknown number...
Do you dare?
You wait outside the front of the hotel, nervously smoothing down your blouse. Your hands tremble slightly as you try to steady your breathing. You're both terrified and aroused...
Do you go in?
You step into the hotel lobby and glance around. You don't know who sent the text... could it be the dark haired stranger leaning casually against the bar? Or the tall, well dressed man skimming through the newspaper in the corner? You feel a blush rising over your chest in anticipation... You look for the lift before you lose your nerve.
Room 317.
As you approach the door you can see that it's slightly ajar, inviting you to take that step into the unknown. You pause, fiddling with your wedding ring nervously and wondering if you should take it off. The lights are off inside the room, the thick curtains drawn across the windows, obscuring the view of the city below. Quietly you push the door further open, straining in the dark to see if anyone is in there.
This is it, the point of no return... if you cross this doorway you are at the mercy of the stranger who sent the text...
You can make out a plush chair in the middle of the room, facing the doorway. You call out a quiet 'hello', but there's no reply. Your heart starts to race in fear...
What are you doing... following an anonymous order to a dark hotel room?!
You've come this far, you might as well continue a little further. Tentatively you cross the room and spot an envelope propped up on the chair, your name written across the front in neat, black handwriting that you don't recognise. You glance around you, but you can't see anyone else in the room. You turn the envelope in your hands, your nose catching the faint notes of an aftershave you think you have smelled before... but where?
The envelope slides open easily, revealing a formal looking card inside. You slide it carefully from the envelope. The message is short and to the point, another set of instructions...
'Sit in the chair, blouse unbuttoned, eyes closed, hands behind the back of the chair.'
You let out a quiet gasp as you feel a familiar heat between your legs... it's been a long time... too long...
You drop the card and the envelope to the floor and shakily unbutton your blouse. You glance around one last time, but there still seems to be no one else there... You let out a long breath as you sit carefully on the chair, reaching your hands behind and gripping your wrist to keep them there...
Another deep breath and you close your eyes... surrendering fully to whatever is about to happen...
With your eyes closed, you feel your other senses heighten... you think you catch the same scent of aftershave from the envelope... a quiet rustle from the otherside of the room...
