Alice sat on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath. She knew she was in danger of exposing herself again, and the mixture of excitement and fear was intense. She was already naked. She was in a hotel room, an average hotel room in the little hotel where she worked. A large curtained window covered one end of the room, the vanity counter at the other end; the bed was about half way between. The vanity was a large well-lit mirror; the mirror went all the way from wall to wall and up to the ceiling. The vanity counter had a sink, and Alice had put a bottle of baby lotion on it. The only thing out of the ordinary on the counter was the printed sheet of instructions which Paul had sent to her.
The instructions, opened when she went to change the bed linen in an empty room, had been both clear and devastating: Alice was to slightly open the door, strip naked and wait for 3 minutes to pass. Then she would start the show.
Her heart thumped as she heard footsteps and saw a guest pass by the open door! She vaguely recognised him from the previous day. The guy looked like he was about 30. He was wearing a shirt and tie, probably a salesman of some sort, or a manager of some sort at a convention. His had looked tired; until now he'd probably been resigned to a long boring day. She turned slightly away so it looked like she hadn't noticed him. If he had seen anything, she prayed that he would take her for a careless guest and not recognise her as the girl on the reception desk.
