I was slightly tipsy as I stepped out of the lift on the tenth floor. The official Conference Dinner had dragged on as long as I'd feared, and only copious quantities of alcohol had made the endless parade of speeches endurable. There are only so many times you need to be told what a good year it's been, and how we're looking forward to an even better one next year. But of course it's hard to keep track of how much you're drinking when solicitous waiters keep topping up your wine glass, and I'd certainly had more than I'd planned.
After the final toast, most of the guys had headed straight for the free bar to get as sloshed as possible at the firm's expense, but I'd had enough for the night. I agreed to have just one more with Ed, the guy from the next office, and we flirted for a while, in that fun, relaxed way when you know it's not going to go any further. After a while, I made my excuses, and let him have a little snog and a stroke of my bottom before reminding him of Mrs Ed at home. I may be an easy lay, but I'm no home-breaker, and, to be fair, neither is Ed.
Up here, away from the event, everything was eerily quiet. The usual harsh hotel lighting illuminated the endless perspective of the long corridor, one of the lights flickering annoyingly. I found my room and rootled in my handbag for my key-card; found it; looked up; and my heart leapt in shock. Out of no-where, a woman had appeared, just where a side corridor angled off.
And she was naked.
I mean, properly naked, no shoes or anything. For some reason, the thing that struck me first was her luxurious blonde pubic bush, curling over her mound. She was gorgeous, too; tall, slender, with blonde hair cascading over her shoulders, and firm breasts that stood out proudly even without the support of a bra, surmounted by a pair of pale nipples.
For once, I was lost for words. She looked at me, and I looked at her. She was swaying slightly, as if unsure whether to run away or stand her ground. Nervously, she raised her hand and ran it through her hair.
"Erm...are you okay?" I stammered at last. "I mean, have you locked yourself out?"
She shook her head, and seemed about to speak, but then stopped, as if unsure what to say.
"Well, do you need a hand or anything?" I queried, still slightly unsure about the correct etiquette when meeting a naked woman in a hotel corridor.
"No; I am sorry; please. I've probably offended you, and please don't call the security. You see, it's just that I enjoy it, being nude like this."
As soon as she spoke I recognised a French accent, although her English was excellent.
"Well, no, not offended, just surprised," I said, which was the honest truth. "So you're really okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you. But I'm what I think you would call an ... exhibitionist," the nude woman went on. "This is what I do; leave my clothes in my room, and walk around, hoping I'll meet someone...like you. But I'm sorry, I'd better go."
"Oh no, don't go," I said in a rush, almost surprising myself. "I think you're awesome. And gorgeous."
And she was lovely, the more I looked at her. She had big, sparkling eyes, a full mouth with lusciously kissable lips, and all that flowing blonde hair. And then she was slim too, but not skinny, with a nice trim waist and firm smooth thighs tapering into long legs. I guessed she was maybe a few years older than me, but not much. Even if she'd been fully clothed, I'd have looked at her. Naked, she was irresistible.
I put down my handbag by my door, and took a few steps towards her. As I got closer, I noticed how big and hard her nipples were, aroused and standing up. There was a thin sheen of perspiration on her face, and she blushed as I looked her up and down.
"So it turns you on, being naked like this?" I asked.
She nodded. "Oui, a little. No, a lot..."
I stopped, not wanting to scare her into running away. I wanted to tell her how great she was.
"I get it, I really do," I said. "I like being naked outdoors, and sometimes I've flashed myself before, in the park and on trains, but what you're doing, it's so cool. I...I...I love it."
There was a pause, almost Pinteresque in its length and significance, and she smiled. "In that case, why don't you join me?"
And then of course I knew that this was what I wanted, more than anything; to be naked in this hotel corridor, with this beautiful Frenchwoman.
It was simple; all I had on was my little black dress (no bra to spoil the shape), my shoes, and a pair of black lacy panties. I bent down, still looking at her, afraid she might turn and bolt if we lost eye contact, and pulled my shoes off, kicking them against the wall. I reached under my skirt, and pulled down my knickers, throwing them after the shoes.
Then I straightened up, reached behind my back and unzipped my dress. I let it hang loose around me, and for a moment I hung onto it, afraid to let it drop.
"Go on," she said. "Once you've let go, it's easy."
I slipped first one strap, then the other, down my arms. With a little shimmy, I let it loose, and felt the dress slide down my body and onto the floor.
And there I was, as bare as she was. It was her turn to look at me, taking in my small perky breasts with their pink areolae; my firm tummy; the closely trimmed triangle of brown hair on my pudendum. She reached out her hand, and touched my cheek, then ran her hand down my neck and across the smooth curve of my breast, lingering at the hard little bud of my nipple.
I shivered at her touch, and she murmured under her breath, "Si belle, si belle." Then she smiled again. "So, how do you feel?"
I giggled nervously. "It's awesome. But what if someone comes?"
"That's when the fun begins. Come with me, and I'll show you."
She put out her hand, and I took it. Mine was sweating a bit, but her grip was firm and confident. She squeezed.
"Now, put your clothing in your room and give me your key-card," she said. I did as she told me, and she slipped the card into a small pouch on a leather cord around her neck, next (I presumed) to her own. She really had come prepared.
