I am director of sales for a hotel. Most times I am tucked away in my office while my sales team handles the booking of the banquet rooms and group blocks. Both sales agents were busy when a potential customer came in to the lobby asking for information.
The front desk clerk buzzed back to my office and asked me if I was free to come out and give some assistance with booking a banquet room. I was pleasantly surprised when I came out to the lobby.
There he was around 6'2", dark hair and a neatly trimmed goatee. A neatly pressed button up and snug fitting jeans. Shaking his hand I introduced myself and showed him down the hall towards our banquet rooms.
Stepping into our larger room with the small dance floor, I began to ask my basic sales questions. "What type of even was he having?" "A birthday party."
"How many guests would be attending?" "Possibly 100 people."
"Would there be music and or food?" "Yes, both food and a DJ."
"We could provide both tables and chairs, setting up the room to your specifications." He said, "I won't need 100 chairs. Maybe just 50 scattered through out the room and some high rise tables if possible and also two larger tables for the food and gifts."
After walking around the room I told him "This room should be the perfect size for your event." His eyes locked onto mine. He just stood there quietly. I responded with a shy smile as I nervously straightened my skirt.
He smiled then walked toward the door. "Could I get back with you on the dates and other specifics?" "Ofcourse," then I asked "Would you like a quote on the price of the room?"
He smiled and said "No, money is no object. I am VERY pleased with what I have seen so far", emphasizing the word very.
I nervously cleared my throat as I opened the door. "If you will please follow me back to my office I will get you one of my business cards." He quickly replied, "Gladly."
He stopped in my office door way. As I leaned down to get one of my cards I heard him clear his throat. I smiled as I momentarily held my pose. I turned around to a very sexy smile. I was speechless. I have been in this business for a good while now. No one has ever had this effect on me. After taking my card from me he shook my hand again. Slowly releasing my hand he said "I look forward to seeing you again."
As he turned to walk away I remembered he never gave me his name. So to his back I loudly asked "Could please get your name sir?" He looked back over his shoulder with a grin, "Connor."
I practically fell into my chair after he left. I took a deep breath and shook my head as if to clear the cobwebs. Connor had set my body on fire with just his eyes. How would I survive another meeting?
A week later Conner calls to set up a meeting to finalize things. He also mentioned his was interested in blocking off a group of rooms for guests who want to stay over night at our hotel. On the day of our meeting I left word for the front desk clerk to just show him to my office when he arrived.
The date he wanted for the party was open. So we completed the contract for the banquet room and he paid the deposit. We agreed that the balance for the room rental would be paid in full by the night of the party.
It was when we were diagramming out how to set up the tables and chairs that I got my surprise. He asked for two corners of the room to be left open. I agreed that we would set things up to his specifics. He said that they would set up a spanking bench in one and a Saint Andrews Cross. I stopped writing and looked up at him like a deer in the headlights. He just gave me that sexy smile. He assured that all of his guests will be legal consenting adults. I tried to breathe slowly and continue my paperwork.
Breaking the silence he asked, "Could look at your guest rooms now?" I nervously started stacking my papers as I stuttered, "Yes, ofcourse." I quickly grabbed my keys and walked toward my door. Connor just laughed.
Stopping by the front desk I asked for an available room to see. I asked her not to rent the room until we come back from viewing it.
Unlocking the door I walked in first. I stood quietly while he looked over the room. He sat on the bed rubbing his hand over the area beside him. "This is a nice soft bed." He was staring at me.
