Michelle Moecha was a corporate event planner based out of Washington, DC who specialized in operating meetings for associations. Her current event, a grueling four day technology conference in Las Vegas with more than 2,000 attendees, was winding down.
She finished the late evening post-conference wrap up soon after the last of the attendees left the ballroom to make their way to explore the forbidden pleasures that Vegas has to offer. She said good-bye to her conference services manager and headed up to her room to relax in a much needed hot bath and to face-time her husband and her two girls.
On the walk to the elevator she noted that the hotel was filling up. She had arrived the Sunday prior and weekend crowd was returning to the Strip for another weekend of mostly harmless decadence. Five nights in Vegas was three more than she would have liked. She had survived however and another successful conference was in the books. She was leaving on an early flight the next morning and would be at her house before the girls got home from school.
She stepped into the elevator, pressed the button for the 36th floor, and glanced around the elevator. To her right stood an overweight, sixty-something guy, with grey hair cut short, wearing what looked like a black bowling shirt. He had his arm around the waist of a twenty-something blonde in a tight, sequined mini-skirt. He reeked of cigar smoke. She of cheap perfume. A john and his prostitute, Michelle figured. On her left was an elderly couple. The gentleman had his polyester slacks pulled a bit too high. The white belt cinched tight. A light blue ball cap covered his head. His wife, she assumed it was his wife, was wearing comfortable looking blue pants, a white blouse with an American flag pin over her heart. She was also dragging a bottle of oxygen with her. Two tubes connecting the bottle to her nostrils.
The elevator stopped at floor 22. The doors opened and the sixty-something guy and his "date" got off.
"Is that what YOU did on your 'guys' trips here?" she overheard the elderly woman say to her husband when the doors closed.
He did not answer. The elevator dinged. Floor 36. The doors opened, she stepped off and into the hallway. Room 3669 was to the right, six doors down, on the left. She slid the plastic card into the door, waited for the green light, and pushed the door open. The room was spacious. Not the largest suite at Caesars but very respectable. Its sanctuary almost made the week of 16 hour work days bearable. She dropped her bag on the credenza and plopped herself onto the bed. She sat for a second and then let herself fall back and close her eyes. She was definitely in need of a recharge. After a few minutes of laying in silence she sat up and kicked off her shoes, grabbed her iPad, tapped the face-time icon, then favorites, then 'Babe'. Her image appeared on her screen as it read 'connecting'. She recoiled just a bit as she noticed how worn out she looked. Her hair was a mess and her makeup needed some attention.
"MOM" the girls said in unison," we miss you SO MUCH".
"I miss you guys' too." she replied, "I can't wait to see you tomorrow!"
"Will you be here when we get home from school?" the younger one asked.
"I will." she replied, "do you want to sit in the hot tub?"
"Yes, we can talk about our birthday." the little one said.
"Mom, did you eat at the buffet?" the older sister asked.
"No honey. I haven't had time this trip. I would really like to though." she replied.
"Girls, it's late and you have school tomorrow. I just wanted to say good night and that I love you and that I can't wait to see you tomorrow." she continued.
"Okay mom, we love you too." they replied in unison, "do you wanna talk to dad?"
"Yes, is he there?" she asked.
"Yeah, here he is, we love you mom, see you tomorrow."
"Love you too, bye."
"Hey Sweetie." her husband said, "How'd the conference end up?"
"Ahh, it was great, but I am spent." she responded.
"Well, you should celebrate a little. Could you refresh and rally, for at least a drink or two?" he asked.
"I'm definitely planning a long, hot bath." she said "If I feel a little better after that, we'll see."
"A girl's got needs." He said "just make sure that you show up back in Maryland refreshed and refocused. In every way..."
"What are you saying?" she asked.
"Nothing Sweetheart, I'm just saying that you just worked your ass off and finished a kickass event. It's your last night in Sin City, you should enjoy yourself a little bit." he stated.
"Whatever Babe" she exasperates "your mixed, subliminal messages crack me up sometimes. Anyway, that bath is calling my name. I LOVE YOU and I can't WAIT to see you tomorrow."
"I love you too." he replies "Text me when you are through security at the airport."
"I will. Love you. Good night."
"Love you too. G'night."
She tapped the end button, tilted her head, grinned, shook her head and let out a little laugh.
"He's such a dork sometimes." she said aloud to no one.
She walked into the large bathroom and pushed back the heavy shower curtain. She turned the bath faucet to hot and felt it with the back of her hand. When it started to get hot she adjusted the plug so that the bath began to fill. She reached into the amenity basket for the bubble bath, opened the small bottle, and emptied the contents into the stream of hot water filling the bathtub. Satisfied that she would soon have a hot bath full of bubbles to soak in she got up and walked into the main room and over to the small fridge which holds the minibar. She opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. She reached for one of the wine glasses and set it on the credenza. She screwed the cap off of the wine and poured the golden liquid into the glass, took a sip, and set it back on the credenza.
She unbuttoned her pants and pulled them part way down, shimmied a bit, let them drop to the floor, and stepped out. She sat on the bed and pulled off her socks, first the left, then the right, tossing them into the corner of the room next to her suitcase. She stood and unbuttoned her blouse, pulled it off, and tossed it next to her socks. Next was her bra. She unclipped the front, pulled her arms though, and gave it a toss to join the rest of her garments in the corner. She stood, alone in her room, naked. She raised both arms over her head and stretched.
"Ohhh, this is what momma needs." she said to no one.
She grabbed her glass of KJ, walked to the bathroom, and stepped into the bath. The water was hot on her feet. She rolled her toes and then bent at the knees, dipping her thighs and her ass into the water. She put her hands on the bottom of the tub, sat, and then slid her body beneath the bubbles. The hot water felt incredible. She could feel the stress of the long, hard, work week melt out of body. The cool, oaky, chardonnay was the perfect complement to the citrusy bubble bath. She was completely relaxed for the first time in a long time. She began to soap her body, her arms, her breasts, her stomach, her legs, her thighs, and her pussy. She felt a slight charge of excitement as her thoughts drifted to sex. She leaned back in the tub and closed her eyes.
She got out of the tub, dried herself, stepped to the mirror, and grabbed her makeup bag.
"It is my last night in Vegas. I did just pull off a kickass event. And I do deserve a little 'fun'." She said to the mirror.
She applied her makeup taking it beyond the conservative look that she generally wore. Dark, smoky eyes. A darker shade of red on the lips. Glossy. An extra spray of perfume. Then she thought of the twenty-something, likely, prostitute in the elevator and gave another spray. And she smiled into the mirror. She walked to the closet.
"Jeans and a cute top are not going to do it tonight." She said to no one.
She reached for her little black dress. Not as sexy as she was feeling but it worked. It would show some leg and she could rock her black heels that she brought along and hadn't worn. She decided against wearing panties. More dangerous. More risquΓ©. Which was how she was feeling. She did grab her favorite pushup bra, however. She wanted to show off as much cleavage as her naturally perky breasts would allow. She walked back to the minibar. Refreshed her wine, took a sip, set it down, and finished getting dressed. She finished her wine and stepped to the mirror.
"Damn, you clean up well!" she said to herself. "Now let's go see if we can get into a little trouble."
She left the room and headed down to the casino. She didn't really enjoy gambling, didn't feel quite energetic enough for dancing, though she wished she did, so she made her way to the cocktail bar. It was a pretty good sized crowd but there were a few open seats at the bar. She chose a seat next to a younger guy in jeans and a black button down shirt, untucked. She got the bartenders attention by making eye contact and flashing a 100 dollar bill in the air. He walked over to her.
"May I help you." he asked.
"Perhaps...." she replied coyly "but first I'd like a drink. Do you have Vanilla Stoli?"
"Yeah, we have pretty much everything." he replied with a smile.
"Great. I would LOVE a Stoli Vanilla with ginger ale. And a strong pour would be appreciated. It's been a LONG week." she said flirtatiously.
