In spite of being tired after a day of meetings, I decide to have a nightcap at the hotel bar
My name is Carol. I am middle-aged and I believe still reasonably attractive, still hoping to meet Mister Right. And, as usual, I'm horny. Some of those guys I met with today would suit me just fine, but of course they're married.
I pick up my drink and sit at one of the small tables near the bubbling fountain, aware of the eyes that are following me from across the lobby. He was apparently waiting patiently for a woman like me to show up. What a hunk! He is probably one of those guys who like to amuse himself at the end of his business day by picking up lonely women in the lounges of first class hotels.
He's younger than I, probably mid-thirties. Tall, slender, strong features, great hair. Like I say, a real hunk.
I watch him and feel a stirring in my stomach. He goes to the bar and orders a Scotch. Self-consciously I tear my eyes away and stare at the fountain.
"Mind if I join you?" Suddenly he is standing by my table, looking down with a friendly smile.
"Oh... sure," I manage.
His eyes never leave mine as he eases his lanky six plus feet into the chair. "I like your looks," he says. I blush, surprised by his bluntness.
"Are you staying in the hotel?" he asks.
"Yes."
"Alone?"
"Yes." I feel the color rise in my cheeks.
"Me too. I feel like having some companionship tonight. What about you?"
I am slowly recovering my composure. "What do you mean, companionship?"
"I mean spending the night together."
"My goodness! Just because you look like God's gift to women does not mean you can proposition nice ladies like me after a minute conversation."
"But I just did."
I know I should get up and walk away, but my feet won't move. Instead I just look at him, imagining his arms around me, his hands on my body.
"Look," he says. "We are both travelers, here for a night. Fortune has put us together. Life is short, full of suffering. But occasionally we have the opportunity to reach out, experience pleasure. I want you."
"Oh..."
"No one knows us here. We will never see each other again. No complications. As the song says, just a moment's pleasure."
I'm tempted, but not so sure about lack of complications. "Ha, there could be after-affects you know."
He grins. "Highly unlikely with the right precautions. I'm not one of those men who gets carried away and ignores the risks. I wear a double layer of socks to bed."
He's thought of everything. Might as well flirt a little more. It's fun.
"You are very persuasive. You must be a salesman. "
No response. He just stares at me with a hungry look. I am flattered and becoming seriously tempted. Wheels are spinning in my head as I let myself drown in his eyes. Finally he speaks.
"Your nipples are stiffening. Am I right?"
"Whoa. You are moving awfully fast."
He lowers his gaze to my chest and asks again, this time in a tone that demands an honest answer. "Am I right?"
I sigh. "Yes."
"Tell me."
"My nipples are hard."
"And your pussy is squishy."
I laugh. "You do have a way with words."
"Am I right?"
"Yes, damn it."
"Tell me."
"My pussy is wet. I can't seem to help myself."
He smiles. "I knew the minute I saw you that it was going to be like this."
"Lust at first sight," I say. "Do you have a name, or are you some mythical god come to ravish me."
His laugh is guttural. "I like that image. My name is Roger. What's yours?"
"Carol."
"Well, Carol. Finish your drink. We can have another upstairs. Shall we go to my room or yours?"
I accept my fate. He is irresistible to a woman like me, and he knows it, the arrogant bastard. All I can do is try to limit the damage. "I prefer mine. That way you can be gone in the morning and I can pretend it was all a dream."
"You will not forget it like you do a dream," he says. "I promise."
"What will I have to do?"
"Obey me."
A shiver goes down my back, and I feel another wet rush.
"And if I don't?"
"You will be punished."
"Then I'd better behave."
"I may punish you anyway."
I suck in a deep breath. "I see..."
He grins. "You like to be bossed around in the bedroom, don't you Carol?"
How did he know that? Unfulfilled fantasies galore sweep through my head. I know how I answer will set the tone for the night. Lust wins over caution. I meet his eyes.
"You really have my number, don't you?"
His satisfied smirk is almost too much to take. "It's not that unusual a number," he says. "Your safe word will be 'uncle'. You will call me 'sir'."
"Oh God..." I am lost.
"Come," he says, and takes my hand.
I stand and pick up my purse. We walk across the lobby toward the elevators. My knees are shaking. Surely everyone in the bar knows what just happened. Should I be embarrassed? What the hell. I'm proud to be seen with a man like this. But what if he is a real sadist? Or a killer? I remember the pepper spray in my purse, and that gives me some comfort. But would good is that if I'm in handcuffs. Christ, what's wrong with me?
The elevator door is open. We enter without hesitation. The die is cast.
"What floor?" he asks.
"Thirty-two."
"Thirty-two, sir."
"Yes, sir. Floor thirty-two, sir."
The door closes.
He looks at me. "Go to the back corner and face the wall."
My God! He's going to do me in the elevator! But I do what he says.
"Drop your purse. Place your hands above your head on the wall. Bend over, just a little. I want to feel your ass."
The elevator is moving rapidly. It will be just seconds before we arrive, provided it doesn't stop to pick up another passenger. Oh God, please don't let that happen. I put my face into the corner, my hands on the side and back wall, and stick out my ass for his inspection. My business suit has a tight skirt. Years ago a boyfriend said my rear end was one of my best features. I am turned on beyond belief.
"Very nice," he purrs. "Firm and not too big. And the way it is twitching... My, my, you are a hot piece. It's going to be a fun night. Relax and enjoy it."
I sigh and push back against his hand. The elevator is slowing. Could we be there already? I hear the doors open, then to my horror, the voices of a man and a woman. They are getting on the elevator!
"Good evening," says Roger. "Don't mind my friend. She has been a bad girl and has to stand in the corner."
The man laughs. The doors close and elevator starts again.
"What did she do?" asks the woman. Her voice is husky, slightly slurred, like she had a few drinks.
"She didn't leap high enough when I said jump," Roger says evenly. "I like my women to be obedient."
A moment of silence, then the woman whispers, "Are you going to spank her?"
I can't believe she said that. Roger doesn't miss a beat.
"Absolutely. Just as soon as I get her to the room."
"Yum," says the woman.
The man laughs nervously. "Nice ass. Mind if I have a feel."
"Help yourself," Roger says.
