Five crisp one hundred dollar bills rest on the faded brown surface of the hotel bedside table.

It's always the same with Billy. A little over an hour, and few, if any, words are spoken. It's sixteen steps from the elevator to the room, room 214, his favorite room because he's superstitious like that.
He leaves the deadbolt open so the door doesn't shut all the way, and I walk in casually and drop my large leather duffle on the floor. The room is disorganized, disheveled, typical of a bachelor; you'd think he lived there, but this tornado was only left behind during a one-night stay.
It's just an Ayres Inn not like the Ritz that I am used to, hell, not even like the Renaissance I use for travel. It's a simple, messy Ayres room and he's a simple, messy boy anyway -- so I ignore it all, and get to what I have come for.
Billy is already kneeling, and he's already naked. I can't tell you how many habits I have trained and untrained from him, over and over again, until his meticulous habits become less annoying and more stimulating to me. I used to hate his need for protocol and rules and structure. God knows how such a slob could be so strung out on rules, but that's Billy -- a walking contradiction.
Or crawling. Billy crawls to me obediently and on time, greets me with a kiss to the top of my boot. Just another silly ritual that I find kind of needless but it helps in the cock-rock department, so I let it slide. And it gives me time to admire the shape of his back, the tone of his flesh, the outline of the muscles that frame his body.
No words with Billy this time. Not that we have anything to say, anyway. Billy's eyes do most of the talking, or the signals that come with the shakiness of his breath. His fingers curl into the cheap carpet of the Ayres Inn as I bring out the first flogger, then the paddle. If I were not in boots I could feel his breath coming in ragged pants across the tops of my toes.
Instead, I just keep beating him, and watching what seems like a gloss appear over the top of the black patent leather. His body is shaking and he starts to collapse, just a little, his shoulders slouching as he tries to find the strength to stay upright for the continued necessary beatings.
I don't beat Billy because I like beating. I beat Billy because I like what it does to Billy.
By the time I am finished with the flogger, and the paddle, his body is covered with a thin film of sweat and his cheeks have turned a beautiful sweet shade of pink. His ass cheeks. Without a moment of hesitation, though, I take him by the chin and haul him up to look at his face, to confirm that the cheeks of his face are equally flushed, and indeed they are.
It's one of the finer mysterious of life. How come after the aerobic workout of a ruthless eleven minute beating, he is more out of breath than I am. And clearly he is in better shape than I am, as evidenced by the definition in his arms. He's the one shaking on ragged breath, his face covered in sweat, and his lips nearly quivering, but not quite enough.
"Bitch," I say, and it ends up being the only word I speak to Billy that day.
"Yes," he agrees, obediently, and of course, that's the only word he says that day.
I slap him, once, across the face, and he stumbles from his knees to the floor, probably more melodramatic than anything. I didn't hit him that hard, after all. I never do. I just find myself needing to take a swing at him after calling him a bitch. It reminds him of his place.
Billy holds still, naked, in his pile on the Ayres floor, as I investigate the contents of my leather duffle bag. It's always fairly random, what I toss in the bag. Billy never knows, and never is told anyway. I see the clock in the corner of the room, but damn me, I forgot to look at it when I came in, so I have no idea how much time we have left.
I take longer than I need to. In my bag. Because Billy's just softly, sweetly, barely whimpering there, and he's doing it for my benefit, I think. I hate to use the word "whimper" because Billy doesn't really whimper -- he just makes a sweet sound when he exhales, if he's in pain, a sound that makes me so incredibly wet. It's one of the few sounds made by man that makes my pussy literally ache; with every exhale, with every soft trace of the sound, I feel a pounding inside my crotch that makes me want to drop everything in that moment and merely wrestle his head between my legs and order him to use his tongue.
