Opening the door with the key card, the man quietly entered the hotel room. It was not different from any other hotel room as he had seen so often.
Soft illumination, white walls stuck with large watercolour landscapes, the usual oversized flat TV screen with the hotel's silent advertisement, the enormous glass windows overseeing the evening lights of the wide city scape below, the customary shaded lamp on the too narrow writing desk with its note block, computer connection and telephone.
And of course there was the bed, the huge queen size bed.
It was white sheeted. No blankets. Apart from that sheet there were only big, thick pillows on the bed.
And on it a woman was lying.
The woman was completely nude, her hands raised over her head, her wrists linked and handcuffed to a ring screwed in the bed's wooden head board. She was blindfolded.
Hearing the man enter, the woman moved her unseeing head in his direction. There was a sharp intake of breath and a tremor rippled through her body.
A very beautiful woman she was, as she lay there, sprawled in splendid nudity, helplessly bound to that bed, open to attack and free to use.
The man stepped toward the bed and stood there for a long time, watching the woman's body. Watching the softly breathing flesh awaiting him. Watching the beautiful breasts. Watching the nipples on top of them, big and juicy, and grown into hardened buds. Watching the delicate throat, with its softly pulsing vein and the little prominence of her voice box, a throat which seemed to invite to be bitten into.
And watching, of course, those wide and flat loins with between them the soft slight hill, topped by a charming belly button, and meandering down towards the thin bush between the thighs. A bush that covered the secret of the woman's feminine entrance, and that, upon close inspection revealed a few barely discernible drops of moisture.
The man also watched the lovely face, with its two alluring and slightly quivering lips, and above it that blindfold covering the eyes and part of the sharp bridged nose. A beautiful face, adorned by a wild frame of luxurious black hair, spread out over the pillows.
Standing there for a long time, the man just kept looking. Watching. Enjoying what he saw. But the woman on the bed next to him remained impassive, only breathing as if, it seemed to the man, in concert with his own quickening respiration.
There was no speaking between them. The room remained silent.
