When I arrive in my favorite place, I revel in the sweet smell of fruity alcohol and the pleasant sound of smooth jazz permeating the room. I quietly walk along the corridor between tables, dodging scantily-clad servers carrying platters full of food and drinks. As I approach the bar, I get Melanie's attention and ask, "I'm supposed to meet Jess in fifteen minutes?"
She checks a catalog, then smiles and nods, and slides a key over the counter. "Have fun."
I smile and take the key. Quietly, I walk along the bar, to a door at the end, and walk through it. Suddenly, the music stops as the door closes behind me, and things are quiet. I look around at the dimly lit hallway full of doors, and begin walking along it. I watch the pictures on the doors as I pass by them- a horny librarian, a pure and innocent schoolgirl, a valiant, scantily-clad angel. When I stop in front of Jess's door, I stop and study the picture on it, smiling. A raven-haired succubus holding a rope in her hands, black glasses framing deep green eyes, and a lollipop's stick protruding from her lips. I knock gently, then harder after a few moments with no response. After a few more moments, I hear, "Come in", and push my key into the lock, opening the door and quickly closing it behind me.
My face turns red when I turn to see Jess on lying semi-nude on her bed, wearing a pair of lacy black panties, horns, tail, and her glasses, but nothing else. She's belly-down, propping her head up with a hand, reading a magazine, but quickly turns to look at me. She smiles as she asks, "Hey Topaz. How is everything going?"
I've done this before, but I'm still frozen in place as she closes her magazine and sits up, stretching her arms up above her head and displaying her breasts proudly. The barbells in her nipples gleam in the light, and transfix me, before she asks again, "How are you? If you don't tell me, I'm going to assume something is wrong."
I shake my head, and reply, "No, everything is fine... I'm really glad to see you. It's been too long. I'm sorry for staring, you're just... amazing."
She smiles as she pulls herself off the bed, and walks up to me. She firmly takes my hand, and pulls me along to the bed, asking me to sit down. She helps pull my shirt off, and lets it flutter down beside us. She rubs her hands against the bare skin on my shoulders and neck, and gently feels my muscles with her dainty fingers. She sounds disapproving as she asks, "You're really tense, so I know something's going on. Why didn't you tell me?"
I sigh as I feel her fingers working with the clasps on my bra. "My girlfriend broke up with me yesterday," I tell her, pulling my bra off my arms, "I didn't think you'd want to feel like you were supposed to replace her, or anything."
