This is one hotel that you have never been to. The letter you received was hand written, and the script unrecognizable. Why you are here you still don't know. The lobby is huge and full of people. You feel as if everyone knows why you're there. Why are you here?
The elevator elegant and all glass, moves up slowly and silently. The open glass back was providing an expansive view of the old hotel. The quiet little beep repeats as each floor is passed. Why are you doing this? This is not your style.
The note, along with a single red rose, delivered by hand to your office. Embossed in gold on the envelope was your name. A wax seal closed the flap. The writing on the seal to difficult to read. You turned and flipped it several times, trying to figure out its contents. Once open, inside was an invitation. You remember your hands trembling as you read the card. Where had this come from?
What was it that had made you come so far, drop your defenses to this level? Looking back the card was more of a summons than an invitation. You had even thrown it away, then retrieved it. Something about it commanded your response. And you had complied.
The elevator door opening signaled the 19th floor. Your finger reached for the first floor button. Instead your hand dropped to your side, you exited. Legs wobbly in the high heels that you never wore anymore, but were requested in the note. Each step down the long hall reminded you of the underwear, still lying on your bed, again by request. Your nipples strained at the silk blouse, breasts swaying slightly with each step. The silk of the blouse soft and smooth. Feeling so good.
A turn to the left, room numbers 1926, 1927, the numbers rising. Breathing coming quicker. Rooms passing slowly. 1928, 1929,1930, two more to go. You stopped at the door 1932. A note in the same script attached to the door. Telling, no imploring you to enter. You knock. Looking up and down the hall for some excuse to leave. No one answered. Your hand quivers as you reach for the brass knob. Quietly the door swings open. The entire room surrounded by glass. The view of the city breathe taking. Deeper you move into the room.
The champagne bucket standing there, alone in the center of the room. Single glass alongside. Another note the same handwriting. You reach for the bottle and pour a full glass. Sipping you read the next note. You know inside that you can't do this. You turn to leave. Another sip of the cool bubbly wine tasting sweet and tingly. You hesitate, reread the note. Another drink long and hard, draining the glass.
There is a scarf on the couch, per the note. Folded, length wise, a long thin line. You touch the scarf, fingers moving slowly over the fabric. Silk you would guess. Taking it into your hands, you turn it over and over. Laying it back on the couch you turn again to leave. Then back, and then to leave. What's happening to you? Breathing rapid, heart pounding you return to the couch and the scarf. Retrieving it, holding the length in both hands, you raise it up. You feel the fabric on the bridge of your nose. Your fingers tremble as the knot pulls tight behind your head. Your view obscured. Vision lost. You stand hands at your side. Knees shaking mind running wild. Hearing acute. You stand per the note. Clearing your throat, your speak, voice quaking. "I am here."
Fear running rampant in your mind. Head turning, trying to hear. No sound, how long had you been standing there? Your hear the soft breathing of another. Your hands start to rise. Your need to see greater than ever.
A male voice "Please leave it, or I will have to leave. You are free, you came here on your own, and may leave at anytime."
Your hands gradually moving back to your side. That voice, a strange one, one that you had never heard before. Soft, gentle, commanding. You want to move toward it. But you stand. A warm breath on your bare neck. Your skin trembles body tingling. Your head turns, exposing more of the soft pale flesh of your neck. Your breathing faster knees shaking as you stand, inwardly proud that you are there.
A whisper in your ear soft and commanding. You remove the coat as requested. You feel him moving around you. You feel his eyes upon you. Your nipples press hard against the fabric. You know he is standing there before you. Watching you. Your back arches. Pressing the fabric of the blouse tighter against your body. Why?
Something soft, slick moves across your neck. It feels so good. You skin calling out for more. A stronger touch. It moves away. Then again across the exposed flesh above your breasts. Your body moves into the touch. Breasts swelling, trying to grasp more of the touch. Your head falls back, the caresses continue. Your hands move out to grasp.
"No," whispered.
A murmured command soft and demanding. You feel the distance from him now. Your hands move to the top button on the blouse. You hesitate again. Fear and longing. The button opens. The cool air across the newly exposed flesh. Nipples growing. Mind flooded with thoughts. The next button and the taught fabric opens across your body. Two more buttons and you stand blouse open before the unseen. You pull the blouse pulled from the waist of the skirt. A shrug and you feel it pass your legs on the way to the floor.
