Excerpt
By
the time I reach the hotel, I’m soaked clear through to my skin. My
long hair is drenched and drips down my chest, leaving massive
droplets on my new spring coat. What the hell was I thinking when I
asked the cabbie to drop me off two blocks away? I mean, who would
see me, and even if they did, why would they question my destination?
I
enter through the main doors and walk into the lobby. The desk clerk
looks up but I smile and find my way to the elevator. He doesn’t
try to stop me or ask if he can assist me. He must think I have an
air of independence about me, despite my wet-hen look.
My
breathing is erratic by the time I ride the elevator to the fifth
floor. I follow the signs posted on the wall that direct me to room
510. I hesitate and tap my head with a closed fist. What am I
doing here?
A
man opens the door after my three light taps. He’s tall with broad
shoulders, a narrow waist and lean hips. Sort of like my Michael I
guess and then tell myself not to go there.
“You’re
soaked,” he says through the black hood with only narrow slits
where his eyes should be.
This
puts me at a disadvantage right away. He can see my eyes but I don’t
have the slightest idea what color his are. “Yes, I got caught in
the rain.”
The
words fly into my head before I can stop them. I like Pina
Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. I'm not much into health
food, I am into champagne.
With
a flourish of his arm, he directs me into the room. It’s luxurious,
opulent and well-furnished. A four-poster bed sits center stage,
companioned by two nightstands, one on each side. Near the window,
there’s a sitting area, two plush, magenta wingbacks separated by
another small table.
The
bathroom door is ajar, but I don’t allow my gaze to linger there.
I’m too nervous to think about anything except the hooded man
standing in the center of the room and the reason I’m standing
there in front of him.
“Well,
that’s convenient . . . getting caught in the rain, I mean. Take
your clothes off and I’ll drape them over the wingbacks. Hopefully
they’ll dry a little.”
I
mutter a feeble thank you and begin to undress. He watches me with
morbid fascination, and I wonder how many times he’s done this
before.
“I
assume you brought cash. Most bring cash, nothing traceable.”
I
nod.
“Lay
it on the nightstand and then take a seat on the slat-backed chair at
the foot of the bed.”
“Naked,
you mean.”
“Well,
there wouldn’t be much sense conducting our session in wet clothes,
would there?”
“No,
I guess not.”
If
you were to ask me what happened next, other than a vague memory of
me removing my clothing, laying the money on the night table and
walking naked to the chair he pointed to, I couldn’t tell you.
Everything from that moment on meshed together until I heard my own
voice echo through the quiet solitude of the hotel room.
“Yes,
oh, yes!”
