What I am to you is not real.
I am the forbidden. I am the unknown. I have many faces and none.
Sometimes I am the cute guy at the coffee machine at work. Sometimes I am the well groomed older businessman on the train. Sometimes I am the sulky looking checkout girl in the supermarket. Sometimes I am the two builders that you see on the way to work, one older, one younger.
I am inside your head when you wake. I am inside your head when you go to sleep. I am there when you masturbate. I am even there when you have sex.
Sometimes it's unintentional. Merely a fleeting thought. Sometimes it isn't. When you keep your eyes closed more than normal. When you keep your hands off his body. When he has you from behind.
Except sometimes it's not him. Because sometimes it's me.
Me that is in your head. Me that turns you on like a light bulb. Me that is in your body. Me that is fucking you hard on your knees. Me that makes you come over and over.
I am a fantasy. Yet what I am to you is sometimes what you need.

You could be anyone. Married or single. An executive or a school teacher. You could be somebodies secretary or a student or a stay at home mother of three.
I don't care. It doesn't matter. The outcome will still be the same.
What's more, you know it. Know that in a minute I will undress you. That when I do I will find you wet and ready for me. The thrill of the situation too much.
But at the moment you are playing it cool. Trying to remain calm. Trying to control the fluttering of your pulse. Trying to remain still even though you are so on edge that you wonder how you are able to sit at all.
Watching the conflicting emotions on your face turns me on. Makes me hard. How many women out there have had this same particular fantasy? How many have actually fulfilled it?
I haven't even asked your name, nor have I volunteered my own.
The hotel suite is extravagant. High ceilinged and cavernous. A Parisien inspired courtesans boudoir. All oil paintings, glass chandeliers and feather trimmed lamps. The focal point the giant four poster bed on which you sit.
The air is rich with the history of the place. It permeates everything. From the leather of the chaise longue to the heavy velvet of the curtains. The scenes that must have played out in this very room. The scandalous courtesan entertaining her infamous clients. The highest members of society. Perhaps even royalty?
My own breathing comes a little shallow now, sensing it is nearly time. Nearly, but not quite yet. At the moment we are both just savouring the moment. The anticipation of what is to come.
There is very little that I could find more exciting than the look in your eyes as you sit, fully clothed on that bed. That intoxicating combination of trepidation and excitement.
I wonder if you are aware of your own appearance. How huge your eyes look. How flushed your face is. The way it spreads down your throat to your chest. Drawing my eye to where it disappears beneath your clothes.
You are not the first. Far from it. There have been many. Hundreds. Thousands. More? I do not keep count. Yet each one has been special. Unique.
I am not arrogant but I am accustomed to getting what I want.
Sometimes I meet them on trains, in bars or in offices. In coffee shops or supermarkets. There are no rules.
But I have come to recognise a certain type of woman and I am not without skill. I can hold a conversation. I know when to push and when to back off.
Sometimes I am charming, sometimes I am flirty. Sometimes I am bold and brash and sometimes I am fickle and impulsive. But there always comes that point.
There was once a girl whose hair became caught in her coat as I was holding it up for her to put on. I knew from the moment my fingertips touched the back of her neck as I freed her hair.
There was once a girl in a library that I teased mercilessly about her spectacles. Another whose paper I borrowed on a train.
Sometimes it is a brush of fingertips as you open a door. A hand on your waist or a fleeting moment of eye contact across a meeting room.
But when it happens you know. When it happens. On some level at least, you both know.
What if you were to follow that instinct?
Instead of blushing self consciously and moving on with your day. Instead of giving that little half smile and averting your eyes. Instead of finding yourself replaying the incident in your head that night as you lay in bed. Your fingers creeping down between your legs. Vaguely shocked at your own arousal.
What would happen if you were curious enough, or excited enough, or adventurous enough to follow that instinct and convention be damned?
Maybe you would end up here. With me. On a strange bed. In a strange hotel room. With a man you don't know.

You are watching me now. Your eyes wide and expectant. You open your mouth as though you are about to speak but I hold up my hand as if to say it's ok, or don't move, or trust me.
