There were ten things in Ella's life she treasured. She'd spent many hours pondering those ten things and, in idle moments, rearranging them to suit her moods. Yesterday, she was sure, alcohol had been in those ten things.
Today it wasn't.
There were vague shadows of memory that might explain why she was sat on her hotel room toilet for the second consecutive hour, wet and naked and tired of vomiting. There was probably some apocalyptic cocktail that she had enjoyed in the nine or so hours of her life that alcohol had hidden from her; that cocktail was probably the thing making her life miserable now.
She had showered. She had brushed her teeth. She had kicked off her stupid, impractical underwear and all the rest of her clothes. She had even, painstakingly, brewed her coffee and struggled to open the little carton of creamer without launching it all over the room in a spray.
She still felt like shit.
The sun had done her a favour though, rising high in the sky as morning moved on to afternoon, the beams no longer lancing through the curtains like evil bright blades.
She sat, on the little cream coloured toilet, smelling of fresh soap and toothpaste and looked glumly through the open doorway to the mess of her room; she felt her eyelids grow heavy again.
As the hotel room door clicked open, her eyes slid shut.

Gina looked in wonder at the sheer devastation of the room in front of her. Suddenly, she didn't much feel like leaving a chocolate on the pillow of whoever was renting this one... this was going to take ages. Looking at a pair of pumps lying several feet apart and featuring tall, gleaming 'fuck me' heels, she hoped she wasn't going to find skid marks on the sheets and a used condom on the floor.
This room was blatantly going to be the wreckage of dirty monkey sex and she had to clean it up; quickly too, as her nostrils flared, seeking out the scents of intercourse. She shuddered. If she got fired from this job there was no way her tuition was going to get paid.
There was nothing for it, she was going to have to start at this end of the room and work her way towards the window, waging a war of attrition on messiness. Stooping, she went to work.
High heel to wardrobe, heel out. Coat on coat hangar and into wardrobe, umbrella removed from pocket, half-opened and then re-wrapped neatly. Second high heel to meet the first. Scarf folded and placed on bed.
The young cleaner huffed out her breath and stepped over to a pile of clothes, a slinky evening dress lying crumpled on the floor and with both hands she bent to pick it up. Straightening to throw the lot into the nearby chair, ready to sort out and fold if possible, she felt a tug under her foot and an elastic resistance from the bundle she was lifting.
There was a twang.
The world went dark. It went dark and it was filled with the scent of pussy... it had been very wet sometime in the last twelve hours, no urine smell. The darkness felt like lace.
The young cleaner was not aware that she had dropped the dress to the floor, she was not aware that her hands had crushed the material of the black, silken underwear to her face, inhaling in deep, sucking breaths. She was barely conscious of the growing tightness in her chest and the sound of stretching fabric.
The smell was wonderful for the maid, a heady aroma of sweat and feminine musk and arousal. She could feel her body shudder as a hundred reactions took place: her pulse rate shot up, the thick, proud nipples tipping her firm breasts swelled into hard little bullets.
She inhaled again, it was soooo good.
It was also, she knew dimly, a very bad sign.

Marsha was not happy to help, no matter what her name-tag said. She was not interested in being the friendly security guard, she was not interested in using her athletic figure and pleasant looks to flirt with the customers... she was not interested in looking at the little flickering screens arrayed in front of her for the next six hours.
There was a hatch from her little cubbyhole into the reception area proper, giving her a perpetual view into something that someone once thought was a charming recreation of an exotic New World paradise, all weird waterfalls and rough-sawn-effect timber and cascades of flowers.
She slurped noisily at her soft drink and sulked prettily.
Nothing happened.
More of nothing happened.
She wondered if she had pissed off her girlfriend last night when she had been grumpy about cooking.
Nothing happened... again.
Then, visible through the open door into room 313, a cleaner's skirt was torn clean off a set of lithe, slender legs by a tube of fuckmeat the size of King Dong the Elephant Cock®. When she had received King Dong as a joke birthday present, she had thought that a silly penis wider around than her arm and longer than her truncheon was a laugh.
The penis she was looking at was not funny. It was not ludicrous, ridiculous, amusing or cute.
It was awesome. Inspiring... So. Fucking. Hot.
For a minute or so, the huge length of dick bobbed in time with the heartbeat of the mystery woman. It stood rampant and proud and glorious in it's size and shape; this was the cock to end all cocks.
No one in the reception even noticed the metal shutters sliding down in over the security hatch as the electric motors drove them on. It just meant that Marsha could keep one hand down the front of her uniform trousers and her eyes glued to the monitor while she shut herself away from it all.

Ella gave up when she had reached three quarters of being upright, her back and shoulders pressed into the tile of the bathroom wall, legs still straddling the pan of the toilet. With a puff to blow her fringe of red curls out of her eyes, she arched her back awkwardly and let the lid of the toilet seat drop into place with a quiet hiss of springs.
She sat down again and the world miraculously went from being incredibly complicated to tricky, but simple. The banging headache and double images in her eyes receded slightly and, while she could still see the awful outskirts of a truly enormous hangover looming, it was still very much in the far, manageable, distance.
