It's a long, late evening at the end of a long, late day. You're too tired to leave the hotel, too wound up to stay in the room. And the big empty bed just makes you think of me.
You sit at the hotel bar, nursing your drink, reading the proposal you have to present in the morning. The late hour means everything is quiet, and you're too engrossed in your work to notice the stranger that just walked in and seated herself at the bar.
It's the perfume you notice first. The scent glides silently in your direction and fills your nostrils. You look up and over and see the woman sitting there. She's beautiful in a non-descript, cookie-cutter sort of way. Honey blonde hair falling just past her shoulders, blue eyes, a pink, pouty mouth. You gaze down at her legs, and smile to yourself as you think how you know I'd love the shoes. Just before you turn back to your work, your eyes meet hers.
You skim through the papers in front of you but you don't really see anything. Instead, you see, in the back of your mind, something on the face of the woman sharing the bar. What was it? Was it really there? You hear me inside your head, see me beside you. "Look at her," I tell you. "You know you want to." You turn your head to glance over again and lock eyes with her once more. You're caught. You know it, she knows it. You hear me laugh. "Busted. Only one thing to do now," you hear me say. Then you feel my kiss on your cheek. "Go to her."
You watch each other for a few seconds. Without breaking the connection, you close the notebook in front of you with an audible snap, announcing that she now has your undivided attention. You pick up your glass and drain its contents. A shot of courage.
You carry your empty glass over to the barstool occupied by the woman. You order another round for you both. Then with that quick, easy smile of yours you casually introduce yourself. She and the bartender are oblivious to my presence. No one can see me or hear me but you. I move to the other side of her, put my face very close to hers as if I'm going to kiss her. The idea of it makes your breath catch. She looks at you with mild curiosity, wonders what you could be thinking. You clear your head of me, knowing I'll be back.
The two of you continue to chat as strangers might. The time passes...minutes, an hour, then two. Eventually, you're talking and laughing as if you've known each other for years. You look at your watch and take note of the now very late hour. She watches you, knowing that the moment is upon you both.
She's also been looking at the ring on your finger, wondering if it's going to be a problem. You look back at her, then hear me whisper in your ear, "Ask her. She'll say yes."
Just as you begin to open your mouth she says, "I have an early flight to catch." She gingerly touches the ring on your left hand, my ring. "Just between the two of us," she says with a suggestive tone and expression " I'd rather not go back to my room alone tonight."
She's leaning very close to you now, so close you can feel her breath on your cheek. You feel a slight build-up of heat in your loins at her suggestion. Then you tilt your head and kiss her. Nothing too dramatic, just a taste for you both. But a taste is enough. You feel me beside you again, hear my voice. "Take her," I say, as you feel my teeth graze your earlobe. "She wants you to fuck her. Give her what she wants."
You both stand. You guide her out of the bar with your hand on the small of her back. "If only you knew what the feel of your hand does to her," I say as I walk beside the two of you. You glance in my direction, and have to stifle a laugh at the coy smile I give you. "She's already getting wet. And she wants you to kiss her again. Desperately wants it."
You get into the elevator. The doors close and you draw her to you with the hand that's still resting on her back. The other tangles in the hair at the back of her head as you bring your mouth to hers. You gently part her lips with your tongue, and hers mingles with yours in a dance that leaves her breathless.
When you break the kiss her eyes are still closed, so you slide your hand down her arm and withdraw the key card from her hand, taking note of the room number on the paper sleeve. Her eyes open as the elevator doors do, and she lets out the breath she's been unconsciously holding. You smile at her, placing your hand at her back again, guiding her down the hall.
The light on the lock turns green and you push the door open, ushering her inside as you're right behind her. You stop just inside the door. She walks a few feet away from you, drops her handbag and jacket on the table near the window, and turns to face you.
