She was exhausted, another crazy business trip. Cranky customers, clueless co-workers, and psycho drivers made for a typical stressful week. She was wound tight as a drum and needed a release. She was thinking a long hot shower and room service when she saw the pamphlet left in the room by housekeeping. In room massage available until 10 and seemed like a better option so she rang the front desk.
"There's an available masseuse in 30 minutes." the clerk offered.
"That's perfect, I'll be ready" She quickly showered and was pulling back her long hair to keep it out of the way for the massage when there was a knock on the door. "Damn, already?" she panicked. She went to the door, and looked out the peep hole. There was a tall, fit, bearded man standing at the door. "Yes?" she called through the door. She noticed his broad shoulders, tan arms, and strong hands.
"You called for a massage?" he replied. "I can come back if it's too soon."
She opened the door and said "no it's fine, come in." She realized she was only wearing a towel, not that it mattered since she'd be wearing less during the massage.
"Hi, my name is Oliver" he introduced himself. "Feeling tense tonight?"
"Why yes, it's been a long week and you can call me Avalon," she replied.
