A highball of tapwater with ice. A rocks glass with bourbon and ice. Sloan took a healthy drink of the water and tried to swish the semen from her mouth without him noticing.
He noticed.
"Do you want to use the bathroom." he smiled. She liked his smile. It was genuine and kind.
"Yes, thank you." she gushed a little grateful for his offer which released the tension. She grabbed her drinks and walked to the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her.
"There's a robe hanging on the door if you want to use it." he said through the door. "Uh...I'll meet you in the uh...bedroom." Bedroom pitched up like a question. She sipped the bourbon quickly before responding.
"Yeah...sounds good." She checked her phone. A note from Dani: "OK?"
"Yes...all is well. Maybe an hour?" Sloan looked at her face, lipstick smeared a bit...still ghost traces of her efforts on her chin...eyeliner drooping a little but still in place. She shed the dress and soaked the worst of the spots. Dabbed at the little ones with a washcloth. She finished swishing and spit into the sink. Another long sip of the bourbon and she took a deep breath.
The glow of the alcohol washed its first haze over her perception. She wondered if other people reacted this quickly. This was the level she liked the most. When the facts and sentences and numbers and measurements that scrolled through her mind would begin to take their place in the background. She could focus. She took a deep breath and took off her bra and hung it next to the dress drying on a hook on the wall.
The robe hung on her like a tent and she tied it loosely. Her chest was exposed...a V of white flesh cut by brown softness. "Way better than earlier." she thought in her head. She grabbed the glass, opened the V a bit more and opened the door.
She stopped at the doorway to his bedroom and viewed him sitting shirtless in his bed. Any other setting, this would have been presumptuous and she would have turned and run. But she was here for this. She thought..."a sexy pose...shall I lean? The Riker Lean? (a reference to the Star Trek sex symbol who showed his masculine dominance by leaning over the female characters)" But she just leaned with her shoulder and sipped another draw of the whiskey...now watered down.
"Hi." she grinned. "You look good."
