The Maid She had seen the man in 314 twice: once Tuesday, as he had come back from the spa in the basement of the hotel, and once yesterday morning. That was when he had told her his name. It seemed like a long time ago, and in many ways it was. She had entered his room without reason to think he was there. The "Do No Disturb" sign wasn't on the knob, and she was just a tad late in getting to room 314, as 306 must have had a keg party in there last night, and took almost an extra half-hour to clean. She had been pretty annoyed at that, too. The sooner she got all of her rooms done, the sooner she could go back to something simple, like checking cleaning supply stock, or putting linen away. She hated being a maid, but money is money and right now it was the only way she had of getting any. She had entered his room, then, with nothing on her mind but her annoyance at the kids in 306. The television wasn't on, which usually meant that no one was there; for some reason most people left the television on all the time they were in the room, except when they were sleeping. Maybe it was for companionship, who knows. She picked up a pair of pants from the foot of the bed and draped them over the valet rack. She made the bed with expert fingers, tucking and tightening, plumping up pillows, turning down the covers just so. It was automatic with her now, and she fumed in her mind at the faceless inhabitants of 306. "Uh, excuse me?" A voice behind her said. She whirled, frightened. A man stood there, in the bathroom doorway, wearing nothing but a white towel. He seemed to be trying to supress a smile. "Oh! I'm so sorry, sir!" She gasped. She felt a sinking feeling, and a hot painful tremor passed through her body. She was going to lose her job. Just thinking about it for a split second made her certain. She was going to be fired for this.. How was she going to tell Mr. DeLuga that he hadn't let her know he was there? Her word was nothing against a guest's. She might as well kiss farewell to a job in this hotel, that was for sure. "It's okay, I won't shoot you or anything," the man said. He stepped back into the bathroom for a moment, and then came out in his underwear. "Um, you moved my pants..." He looked around the room, and then spied them neatly hanging from the valet stand. "Could you...?" He gestured toward them and smiled at her, a rather nice smile. "Oh, certainly." She said breathlessly. She whisked the pants from the stand and gave them to him. "I can explain, sir." Her breasts were heaving with her deep, frightened breathing. "I didn't see the sign saying do not disturb, and I didn't hear you in the bathroom sir or I would never have invaded your privacy." She looked at him with pleading in her eyes. "Hey, it's okay." He stepped into his pants and zipped them up. "I rarely shake hands with ladies until I have some pants on." He laughed, and held out his hand. "Hi. My name is Rob." She looked at his hand for a moment as if she was unsure of what he wanted. She blushed, and then shook his hand for an instant. "Hi." She smiled in relief at Rob, and let out a deep breath. "My name is Jenn." She stood there for a moment looking at him as he smiled at her, obviously amused. She blushed again. "Um, I can clear out of here until you're dressed." She grabbed at her things and hurried over to her cart. "No problem. You stay here. I'll be just a moment anyway, and then I'll get out of your way." Rob disappeared into the closet and she could hear hangers screeching across the closet rod. She walked back to her vacuum. When Rob reappeared, he was buttoning up a white shirt with a tie slung around his neck. She looked down at the handle of the vacuum as if she had never seen it before. He was quite handsome, she thought. Tall, a wide chest narrowing down to a narrow waist and long legs. He looked like a basketball player, but he dressed like an executive. She flicked one glance up to his face. Brown hair, shining brown eyes, brown mustache. She felt a sort of itch on her lips. She knew that feeling... the feeling of a thick mustache brushing her upper lip as she was kissed long and deep. Damn! She thought, I'm blusing again. Her face felt hot, and suddenly her skirt felt too short. "You know," Rob said as he tied a knot in his tie, "you sure don't look like your typical hotel maid. I always expect somebody like my grandmother." She glanced up at him to see his kind smile. "Well, we all have to make a living." She said in a small voice. If her manager caught her in here talking to a guest, she'd be a goner. Now that her initial fright was over, she still thought about this sort of thing, but at the moment she really didn't care. "Oh sure. I wasn't knocking it, it's just that you normally don't see such a beautiful woman as a maid, that's all." Me? He's talking to me? She thought. She had never really considered herself beautiful, even though she was proud of her hair, a beautiful brown mane that reddened in the summertime. She had never considered her face to be beautiful, with its eyes a trifle too large and wide, and her lips a trifle too full. Her breasts were large and heavy, but set high. She had always thought she had just a little too much of everything, except maybe beauty and money. She had laughed many a grim laugh over that little irony. "Thank you. You're awfully kind to say that." Her hands fidgeted as she tried not to let him know how much he was affecting her. She had been awfully lonely lately; she supposed everyone felt this way when they just moved to a new city and didn't know anyone. He was so handsome... He looked at her for a moment, his hands still on his tie. She blushed again, harder, under his gaze, but did not look away this time. She was nervous, and just a little excited about seeing him in nothing but a towel, and to her horror she felt her nipples harden. Please don't let him notice, she thought. She knew that there was no way for him to not notice, as her uniform's blouse was of a spongy polyester, and an all-over drab tan color that would make the shadows of her nipples stand out in relief. Her breasts were large, too large for this size blouse really, and they strained against the ugly fabric. His eyes swept downward for just a moment, and he seemed as if he was going to say something, but didn't. She thought hurriedly of something to say. "Gee, it's cold in here." It was lame, she knew. She crossed her arms, trying to cover her distended nipples from his gaze. He was so tall and so well-built. It had been quite a while since she had seen a man she thought this attractive, and he seemed to know it. "Well, I've gotta go." He grabbed a briefcase from a shelf in the armoire and threw his suit jacket over his arm. "See you later." With that and a parting smile, he left. She finished the room, cleaning slowly, not caring how long it took. She didn't exactly pry into his things, she had promised herself she would never stoop so low as to look at a guest's private items, but she looked long at the things which were clearly visible. In the bathroom, his cologne still faintly scented the air. She breathed deeply, enjoying it. His travel case lay on the counter, bottles and tubes surrounding it haphazardly. Expensive things, nice things. She looked in the closet and saw his suits hanging there, five of them. He was going to be here all week, then. Today was Thursday. He would probably leave tomorrow morning. She felt a small pang. She finished up to room 320. That was the end of her responsibility. It was a few minutes after two when she stepped through the employee's entrance into the cool grey darkness of the parking garage. She hunted in her purse for the keys to her car. She had forgotten to leave the windows open a little, and it felt stuffy inside; she opened the windows to let the air touch her face as she pulled out of the garage and headed home to the apartment. The stray cat was back at her front door. "Okay, okay, just let me get inside here and then I'll feed you," she said, trying to sound annoyed. She really didn't mind the cat, although she knew that it just loved her because of the food she regularly gave to it, but it was just about the only companionship she had had these three months since moving here. It darted inside when she opened the door, and she followed it to the kitchen, opening a can of tuna to be shared between them. She watched a tape of the movie she had missed last night while she was asleep. It wasn't very good, but at least it was something to do. She couldn't afford cable, and she missed most of the good shows because of her schedule, but at least she had a VCR. That was something, at least, and it was free. Her mind kept wandering from the movie to her encounter that morning. He had seemed to be pleased to meet her, but he was probably just being nice. He probably complimented every woman he saw like that. Businessmen are tricky, she thought to herself. They have to be nice to everyone just to stay in practice for their clients. But she did not think that the big brown eyes had been insincere when he had told her she was beautiful. "Hmph." She snorted to herself. Like her big boobs making the buttons strain on that polyester top of hers could ever even simulate beauty. And that skirt! The same awful tan color as her shirt which made her look so washed out. Her thick, ugly shoes with the crepe soles - how could those make her appear beautiful? She held her legs out in front of her now, bare up to the short shorts she had on. They were long and smooth, but how could he know what they looked like through those awful thick stockings? He didn't even see my hair, she thought to herself. She had to keep it pinned up beneath her maid's cap. He didn't even get to see my hair. She felt depressed. The afternoon wore on. She drank another Pepsi and read a book. The heroine was a striking woman who was a double-agent during World War II. She coaxed state secrets from generals and dictators by using her body, her long velvet-clad gowns falling effortless from her creamy white shoulders as she would stand in the War Minister's office. "My beauty is the only thing I have to offer you." She would say. "It is yours, yours to take, as I want you to take me in your arms and show me the sun and the stars." While the general or the dictator or whomever it was (sometimes these novels got a little confusing) made sweaty, grunting love to her she would be using a tiny camera in her earring to photocopy documents lying exposed on the general/dictator's desk. She yawned. This was pretty stupid. It was getting to be about that time, so she decided to go to bed just a little early. She let the cat out for the night and went upstairs. It was warmer up here, the apartment's central air didn't quite make it up onto the second floor. She went into her bedroom and turned on the fan. She liked sleeping with a fan, the cool air moving over her body and the droning sound of the blades turning were like a lullabye. She undressed and lay down. She slept in the nude; after all, there was no call to buy nice night things with no one to look at them. She would rather sleep raw than in one of those old granny-looking nightgowns. She wasn't about to pay good money for something that would make her look like her mother. She turned over onto her stomach and felt the cool sheets against her skin. She thought about Rob. He had seemed so nice. He was certainly handsome, there was no arguing that point. She thought about him standing in the bathroom doorway. He had been wearing nothing but a towel. The hair on his legs was dark, like the hair on his chest and arms. She wondered how it would have looked had that towel slipped just a little bit. Just enough to see how the hair ran from his navel to fan out below his abdomen. I bet it would be thick and dark, she thought. I wonder what else... She rolled onto her back. What a stupid thing to think of. Like she was ever going to even talk to him again. She'd probably never see him again. He might be gone by the time she got to his room tomorrow. She could never clean that room first - Mr. DeLuga would notice that she had broken her routine, and that might lead to some nasty questions. Besides. The "Do No Disturb" sign would probably - no, would certainly - be on the door this time. Surely Rob wouldn't make the same mistake twice. But if he did... what if she saw him again. What if this time he didn't know she was in the room. What if he walked out into the bedroom with nothing on at all. She would see him naked. Her hand strummed the muscles of her stomach. I wonder if he would get mad, she thought. Or would he be secretly pleased? The thought of him being naked before her was making her wish that she was there in his room, now. She would lie demurely on his bed, waiting for him until he returned from his day's work. She smiled. No, she wouldn't wait demurely, like a timid virgin. She would wait on him, but she would be an apparition, a fantasy. Imagine being his fantasy... She masturbated slowly, thinking of how she would appear to him. Her maid's uniform would be replaced by shining skin, her hair hanging down her back almost to her waist. He would see her large breasts and her smooth legs. He would welcome her into his arms. It had been so long since she had felt arms around her, or the rough slide of a hairy chest against her breasts. The thought of him lying over her, breathing hotly into her ear brought her to climax. It had been a long, long time, she thought. She lay drowsing for a few moments, and then slipped into sleep. The alarm rang at five in the morning. Her shift these days was from six until two, and although it was nice to have most of the afternoon to herself, she hated getting up while it was still dark and silent outside. She showered and made up her face, a little more carefully than usual. She put on her uniform, wound her hair around her head and pinned her cap on top of it. She didn't like dressing at work, the maid's dressing room was always so cold at this time of the morning. She got into her car and drove to work. She checked the board to see who had checked out earliest. 306 had finally cleared out, after about two weeks. She was glad. He had seemed to be very inconsiderate of who had to clean up after him, and had left beer cans in the bed. And all those people he had with him! She had had to change the sheets every day, too, and she cringed at the thought of how he got them so stained. 306 could go away and never come back, as far as she was concerned. Upstairs, her heart pounded a little harder as she worked her way toward 314. He could be in there asleep right now, she thought. She hadn't seen any pyjamas lying around the room yesterday. He probably slept in the nude. A little shiver ran through her at the idea. Her face felt hot as she remembered her fantasy of the night before, stroking herself to orgasm as she thought of him. How awful, she thought. It's almost as if I was intruding on his privacy. Masturbating and thinking of how his cock would feel inside of me... she felt her heartbeat begin to pound between her legs again, and her nipples seemed to almost itch. She licked her lips, thinking of how nice it would be when she got home, so she could put her fingers to her neglected clitoris and please it as she thought of Rob. Thinking of him pounding into her, of the sounds he would make, at the look of his face when he came. She shuddered again, and applied herself to her cleaning with a vengeance. Back out into the hall, she stood and took a deep breath. 314 was hidden from her around a bend in the corridor. She wouldn't be able to tell if there was a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door or not until she was right upon it. One moment she was sure there would be. After yesterday, how could he forget to put the sign out? After all, once was a coincidence, and he could laugh that off easily, but who would want to be suprised like that every day? She vacuumed the rug in 313 and considered it. What if the sign wasn't there? She pushed the vacuum away from her and thought about that. If the sign wasn't there it would probably mean that he wasn't there either. She pulled the vacuum back toward her. Or, she argued with herself, he could have left it off on purpose. She ran the vacuum under a table. Nonsense, she retorted. Why would he leave it off on purpose? She bumped a table leg and cursed. Now she would have to get out the furniture polish and rub down the little pale spot the bump had caused. She got the fragrant oil from her cart and sat in the floor to polish the leg of the table. She put some of the oil on a soft cloth and applied it to the nick, and then rubbed it vigorously. As her hand slid up and down the table leg she argued with herself. He's in there and the sign will be on there and that will be that. He's not in there and I'll never see him again. But... but... what if he is in there and waiting for me? She rubbed harder, trying to rub the thought from her mind. She finished the table and got back to her feet. She unplugged the vacuum from the wall and wound the cord up, fastening it to the back of the upright. She pulled it and her cart from the room into the cool, silent corridor. Sometimes she felt disoriented in these hallways, as there was no way to tell what time it was. She pulled the cart and vacuum around the bend. She held her breath against her will, and closed her eyes before she looked at 314's door. A shock ran through her. The sign was not there. She stepped up to the door and started to run her passkey card through the lock, but caught herself. What if he was in there? What if he asked her why she was barging in on him yet again, when she knew what time he left for the office? What if he was asleep, what would she do? What if... Never mind. I'm a maid in this hotel, and I have every right to enter a room that doesn't say "Do Not Disturb" on it at this time of day and I have a job to do and so here goes. She slid her passkey through the sensor, and heard the lock slide back into its housing. She pushed down on the handle and the door opened. The room was deserted, she could feel it. She looked in the bathroom. The toiletries were gone. She looked in the closet; empty hangers tinkled slightly as she opened the doors. The drapes had been pulled shut, and it was completely dark in the room except for a lamp by the bed shining its small pool of light. She felt almost nauseated. Why am I so disappointed? She wondered. It's not like I really expected him to be here. It's not like yesterday was anything more than just a guy being nice. It's not like he's the last man in the world. It's not like... it's not like I can pretend. She stood there, looking at the floor. What did I expect? For him to be lying there with arms outstretched, saying 'Come here, Gorgeous?' Like I could crawl into that bed with him anyway. She looked up at the bed. She could almost see his body lying there on the coverlet, naked, tan, his erection straining toward her, a lazy smile on his face. His handsome face. It would lie right where that pool of light fell on that box. Box? She had almost overlooked the box lying on the pillow. She pulled her cart and vacuum all the way into the room and let the door swing shut softly behind her. She approached the bed slowly. What had he left here? Was it just an empty box? It was too large to fit into the tiny wastecan by the writing desk. Perhaps he had just left it for someone else to throw away. She looked at the box. It was a large one, maybe two feet wide and three feet long. A very large box, but shallow. It was of a white coated cardboard, like the kind you wrapped sweaters in for Christmas. There was a name stamped in gold foil on the lid, but she did not recognize it. She ran her hand over its embossing. So smooth, and so nice. Something expensive must have been in this box once, she thought. Something beautiful and expensive. The tiny corner of an envelope peered out from beneath the box. She tugged at it, slowly. In a man's casual hand was written "For Jenn." Her heart pounded in her breast. She opened the envelope slowly. A note, on hotel stationery. A short note; there were just a few sentences written there, but her pulse raced as she took in their meaning. Her hands trembled as she folded the notepaper carefully and placed it back in its envelope. She stood and looked at the box a moment before opening it. This was for her, the note had said. She slid the lid from the box, and its slick covering squeaked slightly, weirdly loud in the dark stillness of the room. She put it carefully on the bed. She opened the tissue folded over the contents of the box delicately, and gazed long on the contents of the box. She put her hand in the box to feel the things inside, some smooth, some textured, some cool to the touch. She took the note out again and reread it. She looked in the box again. Her head swam a bit as she contemplated the note's request. Who am I fooling? She thought. She grabbed the box lid and replaced it, then put the note in her apron pocket. She hid the box on her cart and stood beside it, staring down at the slight bulge it made shoved between two towels. She cleaned 314 and was lavish with her attentions. She placed extra towels on the top shelf of the closet. She buffed the armoire to a sheen with furniture oil, and opened the drapes to let in the strong sunlight of the summer day. Her heart beat loudly at the thought of when she would next see this room. She felt a slippery give between her legs, and a lump of excitement in her throat. The forbidden - that's what she was going to do... the forbidden. She finished her shift and went home, the box hidden under a coat over her arm. She had been meaning to take that coat home from her locker for months, and she was glad now that she had procrastinated. Mr. DeLuga would not think kindly of her leaving work with a box from a guest's room. Therre was no way she would have been able to explain to him that she was not a thief. How could she show him the note? He would probably prefer to think of her as a thief. She let in the cat who as usual was waiting for her on the front stoop. She ran to her bedroom and put the box in the middle of her bed, not opening it, not wanting to become too familiar with its contents before the proper time. She quickly changed from her uniform to jeans and a shirt, put on her jogging shoes and headed for the mall. She had a tiny bit of cash saved, and there were a few items she wanted to purchase to complete the contents of the box. The afternoon seemed as if every hour lasted only a heartbeat. She constantly checked her watch, and was amazed at how long she had spent in this shop, how long in that one. She almost broke into a run through the mall parking lot as she went to her car. It was so hot, and her hair was so heavy. Her brow broke into a sweat. The wind felt cool from her window as she drove home. She entered the apartment and didn't stop, but ran upstairs with her packages. She threw them on the bed beside the box with the embossed lid, and stipped off her clothes, leaving them lying in a heap on the floor. She looked at her watch again before she stepped into the shower, and started to relax. She had plenty of time. The water was hot and pounded down on her body, and her muscles unknotted, although her excitement did not lessen. She put shampoo on her hair and lathered it, moving her fingers through the long, dark strands. She rubbed fragrant herbal soap into her skin, her hands roaming over her body, pinching her nipples until she could no longer stand the sensation. Sometimes when she teased herself this way it would become almost unbearable, the craving for a man sucking at her breast, a man with his cock deep inside of her. She stood under the water for a long time, letting it wash the lather away. Her hands cupped her breasts and held them upward to the water, the silky feel of it washing under them very soothing. She rinsed the shampoo from her hair and stepped from the shower, wide awake and feeling relaxed and excited. She thought of the boxes awaiting her in her bedroom. She smiled nervously to herself. She patted down her warm, damp skin with perfume. A spicy scent, its first heady rush mellowed to a warm smell of cinnamon and flowers as she dried her hair. She brushed it and let it hang to dry as she sat down at her vanity table to make up her face. Her skin was glowing from the hot shower. She shadowed her brown eyes with a touch of pink, and rimmed her bottom lashes with kohl. Her pale skin was flushed from her rushing blood. She glossed her lips, their natural color only heightened. She studied herself in the mirror for the effect. She shrugged. I look as good now as I ever have, she thought. She dried the dampness from her hair and brushed its long, auburn waves until they shone. She stood naked in the bathroom, pulling her brush through her hair in long, even strokes. Her breasts rose and fell with the movement of her arm. She had never noticed how the nipple on her breast was accentuated as she moved her arm. For some reason, tonight the discovery intrigued and delighted her. It was a night of learning. She looked at herself in the full length mirror on the back of her closet door. Her face was shining, her eyes large and offset by her pink mouth. Her hair glistened with her attentions, and fell down her back in soft waves. Her naked body felt smooth and cool to her touch. She turned to the bed - and to the box. Again she approached it slowly, as if savoring the idea of its opening. The lid lifted free of the box, and the tissue waved slightly upward at her as if beckoning her hand inside. She pulled it back and exposed the contents, shining dully in the soft light in her room. She pulled the tiny wisps of silk stockings from the box. Black, with seams. They were as light as smoke, and and their silk felt almost flesh-warm in her hand. They were made to the contours of a shapely leg. Fine stockings, real silk stockings, and beneath them were nestled two garters, royal purple with the tiniest of silver roses sewn to them. She sat on the edge of her bed and smoothed the stockings on her legs, delighting in the feel of their cling to her skin. She pulled the garters up to the stocking tops and looked down at their deep color shining against her firm white thighs. She felt a stirring inside of her, a delicious warmth. She stroked a tentative finger over the opening of her lips, and felt the slight dampness already there. She looked at her legs in the seamed stockings, turning them this way and that. She again stroked the lips of her sex, and they seemed to pout slightly as if urging her to explore further. She lay back on the bed, her feet still on the floor. Her large breasts flattened out, her nipples pointing at the ceiling. She felt supple and loose. Her hand pressed lightly and a finger slipped onto her clitoris. She groaned slightly. A knot felt as if it were tying itself in her abdomen, a knot of Gordian proportions. She made only the slightest motions over her clit, and her entire body quivered. She sat up abruptly, her eyes wide. She had never been so aroused before. She felt as if she would do anything, anything to assuage the feeling inside of her. The knot inside of her continued to tighten, and she felt the wetness spread inside of her. She stood up, and turned back to the box. Now the only thing visible inside of the box was a large black object. She pulled it from the box and held it up in front of her. It was a bustiere, tiny crystals worked into floral patterns on its boned satin. Miniscule black jet beads dangled from the center of each flower, and when the fabric shook it made a noise like cool rain at sunset. She crushed it slightly in her hands, listening to the rustle of satin and the tinkle of beads. It laced up the front, thank goodness. She pulled it around her body and laced herself tightly, feeling the boning pinch in her waist and the laces pull the satin tightly around her, flattening her breasts against her ribs, making them swell upward into perfect half-moons above the breast cups. She tied the laces in a bow knot and ran her fingers over the hard arches of her compacted breasts. She felt her nipples harden and swell, and her fingers fondled them as they protruded slightly through the fabric. Now that she had removed the bustiere, a few more items were shown to lay in the box. A black velvet choker with tiny purple and silver rosettes to match her garters. She tied it around her neck. A thin whisper of apron, so thin she could see the freckle on her left wrist underneath its shadow. She tied this around her waist. A maid's cap, all of white lace. She pinned it to her head with experienced fingers. The box was now empty, the white tissue stirring slightly in the breeze from the air conditioning. She turned to one of her packages, and took from it a shoe box. She put the black patent high heels on the floor and slipped her feet into them, loving the feel of the way they curved her foot and made the muscles in her calves tighten. She walked over to the bedroom mirror and looked at herself. I don't know what it is, she wondered. For some reason, tonight I think I am beautiful. She ran her hands down her laced hourglass figure. She unwrapped her last purchases. The long black evening coat and its matching hat and bag now lay on the bed. She checked her watch. Just enough time to drink a soda and then she would have to go. Then she *could* go. She grasped the coat, bag and hat and headed down the stairs slowly in her towering heels. She almost parked in the employee's lot before she remembered why she was there. She pulled up to the valet's booth and handed him her keys, ignoring his looks from her expensive coat and hat to her cheap Japanese car. She walked into the hotel, quick strides taking her across the lobby away from the hotel desk. She pushed the button by the elevator, smiling at her shining red-polished nails, and waited for the car which would take her up to the third floor. She stepped inside the car, looking with pleasure at her reflection in the mirror. To all the world she appeared a well-dressed young woman, possibly meeting a friend for a night of clubbing. The climb was slow, the elevator silent. She moved her weight from one foot to another in anticipation. She checked her watch. It was 11:56. She was only a few minutes early. She would walk slowly. Her spike heels dug into the nap of the plush carpeting as she walked down the hall. It felt so odd to her to be here at what she knew was the wrong time of day, even though the corridors looked the same as they did when she was here as a cleaning woman. There were faint sounds of laughter coming from 308. A room-service tray lay in the floor by the door to room 311. The door to room 313 was ajar, and a woman's voice said something about not being able to find her other earring. She rounded the corner of the corridor and stood in front of the door to 314. The tingling and the warmth were growing in her as her excitement mounted, constricting her breathing as much as the tightly laced bustiere. She pulled her stolen maid's passkey card from her handbag and held it up to the slot in the door. I am going to do this, she thought. I am. She slid the card through the lock, pushed on the handle and slipped through the door. The room was illuminated only by the city lights showing through the opened curtains. He had pulled open the patio door, and the faint sounds of the city floated up and into the room, borne by a slightly cool breeze. She shrugged her coat from her shoulders and carefully removed her hat, not disturbing the tiny maid's lace cap she had hidden underneath. She took her bag and the coat and hat and put them on a chair near the patio door. His form was lay still on the bed. He lay slightly curled on his side. She stood for a moment looking at his outline under the white sheet, and wondered if he was really asleep. It seemed to be true, as his breathing caused a quiet rise and fall of his chest. She remembered his note. She went to the vanity and searched for the ashtray, and took the box of matches she found there, striking one. The candles were there, just as he had said they would be. She lit them, all of them, and placed them around the room. As she put the candle by the nightstand, Rob's sleeping form stirred. She looked down at him. He did not awaken. She looked in the drawer as she had been instructed. The bottom drawer on the left inside the armoire, she had read. They were there. She drew them from the drawer and caught her breath. She felt moisture creeping down the inside of her thighs, making them grow slippery as her arousal heightened. She returned to the bed. She looked down at Rob. She wanted him fiercely. She wanted to feel him inside of her. But first, she would carry out his wishes, as he had promised to carry out hers - her wishes which he seemed to know instinctively. She gently put her hand to Rob's arm and stroked the skin beneath his light, fine hair. She slipped a padded bracelet around his wrist and locked it, then stretched his arm out to his side, just as she had been instructed. There was plenty of narrow silver chain attached to the bracelet, and she locked it securely to the post of the bed. She gave Rob's chest a slight push, and he rolled over onto his back, mumbling softly to himself. She cuffed and secured his other arm. She stood there looking at him. Lying on his back with his arms pulled slightly away from his body, she saw the outline of his muscles lying under the skin. Not a muscular man, but with pleasing planes of flesh flat here, curved there. His chest hair was fine and light brown. She ran her hand lightly over it, making him stir. His nipples were small, the aueroles a light tan, almost indetectable from his suntanned skin. A tentative finger ran over one, and she felt it harden into a tiny button. She leaned over him and licked it. Rob murmured again. He must be dreaming, she thought. His head rolled to one side and she looked at his face in profile, his eyelashes short and dark lying against his cheeks. His hair was dark, but it shined with golden highlights in the candlelight. She put her hands to the sheet covering Rob's body. It was smooth and warm, the heat from his body taking away its cotton coolness. She moved it down slightly, uncovering his stomach. His chest hair flowed inward to a tiny line which went to his navel, and then continued under the sheet out of her sight. It darkened slightly as her eyes followed it downward. She pulled the sheet down just an inch further. His pelvis carved a v-shape on each side of his flat stomach, as if pointing downward. She saw the first slight curve of his hips. He stirred slightly, and the sheet moved in her hand. The top of his curly triangle could now be seen, dark brown, thick. She stood looking at it for a moment, the corner of the sheet still clutched in her hand. Her heart pounded. The heat between her legs was almost uncomfortable, relieved only by the sliding of her secret flesh. She bit her lower lip with strong, white teeth. She pulled the sheet in a diagonal motion, and it slid in its entirety from Rob's sleeping body. His cock was not hard, but lay slowly lengthening against his thigh. The sight of it sent a hot pang through her. His legs were long, the muscles relaxed but defined clearly in his thighs and calves. She forced herself to look at him in his entirety, but her eyes kept returning to the object of her fascination. She had never been able to look at a man like this before, without shame, without the feeling that she herself was being watched. She drank in the sight of him like wine, and like wine it made her feel randy and giddy. She felt her lust fiercely. She wanted this man. She wanted this cock to harden and to sink into her, to feel those arms wrapped around her, to feel that chest pressed to hers. She wanted his lips upon hers. Her body was demanding to be given free reign. Her mind, with its twisting and turning and points of pain and past shames retired, defeated. She felt tingling, alive, free. She put her hand to his cock, and then wrapped her fingers around it, the red polished nails shining against its dark length. She stroked it gently. Rob stirred, and his breathing deepened. His lips parted slightly and a small sound came from him as his cock stood at attention in her hand. She caressed it, watching the head flesh out and redden. She bent down and put her lips to it, running her tongue along its groove. She heard Rob gasp lightly. Flicking her gaze to his face, she could see his eyes were still closed. She closed her own in return. Licking her lips, she took his cock in her mouth and pushed it to the back of her throat. He tasted so good, so good. Her entire body vibrated with the thought of having his cock in her mouth. Her lips tight upon its shaft, her tongue made figures against the head. His hips moved slightly, in time to the rhythm of her long strokes. She heard the pull of a thin silver chain against a wooden post. He was awakening. She moved her head over his cock faster. There was a groan. She straightened, keeping a light friction on his cock with strokes of her hand. He looked up at her, his eyes still clouded with sleep. "Oh god." He whispered. "Jenn." She gave him a guileless look. "Good morning, sir." She tightened the grip of her fingers on his hardness, and he looked down at her hand wrapped securely around his cock. His eyes widened, and cleared. "I'm sorry to disturb you, sir. Shall I finish up some other time?" She opened her palm and rubbed it against the underside of his cock, her fingers lightly touching his balls. "I'm told that you have a plane to catch this afternoon, and I wanted to make sure you realized how we have enjoyed having you." She smiled a sly smile. "We hope you come again and again." She was enjoying this game. He groaned in reply as her fingers roamed over his inner thighs. He had pulled slightly on his cuffs, and had found that his hands could not reach her, or even his own body. He arched his back, thrusting his cock against her hand. She pushed his body slightly, and he made room for her on the bed. She stood on the mattress on her knees, swaying slightly, the beads on her bustiere making sounds like minute bells. She posed there for a moment and let him take in the sight of her. His gaze was making her breasts ache and yearn to be set free, so that he could look at them, and want to touch them. She impulsively bent down again and took his cock back into her mouth. She moved around so that her bare ass moved slightly in his view as her head bobbed up and down. She let his cock slip from her mouth and ran her tongue down the underside of his shaft, nibbling and sucking on his entire length. She flicked her tongue across his balls and then took one into her mouth, breathing hotly upon it, tonguing it; then she released it and pleasured the other. She ran her lips over his sac to the junction of his leg and groin, and he squirmed under her attentions, his hands straining at the cuffs, his body trying to escape her mouth, as he cried out to her to stop. "Stop?" She asked. "Why stop now?" Her lips glistened as she grinned up at him. "Oh, you're not ticklish, now are you?" She licked him there again, and he writhed under her and laughed. His laughter soon turned into gasps again as she took his full length down her throat. He started to moan and she could hear his restraints pulling at the posts. He was thrusting his cock upward to meet each downward stroke of her lips. "Oh yes." He hissed. "Oh god, you're going to make me come." "Oh, no you don't." She said, a wide white smile on her face. He watched as she worked her way forward until the lips of her pussy hovered just over his lips. "See what you've done to me? Be nice to me and maybe I'll set you free for being so good." Without speaking, he darted his tongue between her wet lips. He probed deeply inside of her, stroking the tiny inner lips of her pussy with his tongue. She moved against him slightly, feeling the warm softness of his lips and the abrading stiffness of his mustache on her clit. She let out a moan, her hands opening her thighs wide for him. Her trembling shifted her body slightly, and she gasped as he sucked on her clit, nibbling it, making her jerk with pleasure and moan with approval. She moved away from his face, her hair wild around her from her movements. She inched backward, and he lifted his hips to her. "Ride me, Jenn." He whispered, his eyes glowing. "Ride me. I want to watch you come with me inside of you." "All in good time." She purred, arching over him, brushing him lightly with her dripping cunt. She took his cock into her hand, squeezing it tightly, placing it inside her burning pussy, sliding up and down against his shaft, holding him against her wetness, using him to masturbate her hungry clit. Her breasts quivered under the tightness of the bustiere. "Let me see your beautiful tits." He rasped to her, his voice gruff from the straining of his cock against her wet silk. She continued to rub her mound lightly against him as she reached behind her to untie the tiny band that held the shred of maid's apron she wore. Her hands caressed her body as she ran them up her figure, moving to her breasts, running her fingers over the hard mounds over the cups as she reached for the laces of the bustiere to unknot them. She smiled down into his eyes, never taking her gaze from him as she pulled the laces open, exposing her cleavage, her stomach, her navel. She pulled the parted pieces of her bustiere open slowly, her tits emerging inch by inch to his view. His cock was kicking against her in fits and starts. With one hand she held him to her, and as she rubbed his cockhead against her clit she pulled on her nipples, tugging and twisting at them, harder and harder. She was taking a devious pleasure in getting herself so close to orgasm and then backing away. She grew more and more excited at the thought of him watching her masturbate herself with his cock. She sat still, sliding his cock across her clit from side to side, the feeling make her throb wildly, knowing that it was an intense pleasure to him to feel her on his sensitive underside, but not one that would make him come. She watched the desire in his face grow, knowing he wanted her to make him shoot hot cum all over the inside of her pussy. She teased him gently about the heat radiating from his thick cock. "You want me to slide my pussy down over this fat cock and make you come, don't you?" She asked, breathlessly. "You want to come so bad, don't you?" She reached back to fondle his tight balls. "Let me go." He groaned. "You have to let me go. I've got to feel my cock slide into you." He thrashed as she made short, tight strokes of her hand on his hardness. "Oh?" She whispered fiercely. "Is that all? You just want to feel this pussy around your cock?" She reared up just the slightest, and slammed herself down over his cock and then pulled it out in one swift motion. She struggled with herself to not bury him inside of her and draw them both to orgasm right then. God, how she wanted to, how she wanted to feel his lips sucking her tits, how she wanted him to thrust into her and fill her with his hot cum. She breathed out hoarsely. He moaned softly as she again used his cockhead against her clit, rubbing the soft ridges of it in circles around it. She felt the knot in her abdomen get ever tighter, she wanted to scream with the hot, delicious feeling it was causing in her. She held her breath as she reached a peak, and her eyes shut tightly, her entire body concentrating on the one spot that was giving her incredible pleasure. She heard his voice urging her on, telling her to come, to make him make her come. Her pleasure became unbearable, and she cried out, stridently. A terrific shudder overtook her and she fell forward onto Rob's chest, breathing heavily. She lay there for a few moments, gaining her breath, listening to him whisper in her ear, feeling his unreleased cock kick up against her ass. She drew herself up onto her arms, straight out on both sides of his chest. She looked down at him and smiled. "Thank you." She said. "That was quite nice." She pulled her leg from across his body and lay beside him a moment, teasing him with her finger. Then she left the bed and stood up. "That was very nice indeed." Her breathing was back to normal, and she pushed at her disheveled hair with her hands, brushing it away from her face. "I'm sure you're tired too from everything I made you do. Perhaps it would be best if I moved on to service room 315?" She gave him the sweetest of smiles, her face bland, and walked a few steps away from the bed. "If I was set free, you beautiful brazen hussy, you'd find out the meaning of the word 'service'." Rob said, growling and thrusting his hips at her. His cock waved in the air, filled with the desire she had built, and he struggled to set himself free of his self-induced bonds. She moved back to the side of the bed and put her hand to his cock, feeling its firey warmth. She glided her hand down its slippery shaft, still lubricated with her juices. With each stroke the muscles in his thighs tightened and released. His breathing deepened again. He watched her as she moved her hand away again, whispering "cock tease" to her when she stood gazing at the glistening drop of moisture that appeared from the opening in his cock. His face showed relief as she climbed up from the foot of the bed between his legs, and dangled her heavy breasts on either side of his erection. She grabbed her breasts with both hands and teased her nipples into hardness with the feel of his hot cock, and then placed it between them, sliding them between their cool flesh. She stroked him this way, licking at the head, taking it whole into her mouth when she could. He met the rhythm of her slides. She looked up and saw his hands clenched into fists, and felt his cock become harder, the head more well-defined, and she knew he was on the edge. She fell forward and took him deep inside her, his cock almost down her throat; she felt him start to shake and he let out a long moan as he started to come in her mouth, and she hungrily swallowed it as each jet hit, hot and creamy, against the back of her throat. She released him from his bindings and lay down beside him. He rolled over to face her and took her in his arms, and kissed her, his tongue licking hers. His entire body seemed hot, and it felt good against the coolness of her skin. She hummed low in her throat as she broke from his kiss. "Mmm. That was good." She ran a hand up through his hair. "It's your turn now." He nibbled on her neck, making the hair on her body stir. She squirmed under him as he kissed her throat and down to her breasts, his breath brushing lightly over her skin. Her nipples, already hard and distended, burned under his touch. His lips found one, and he pulled it into his mouth, sucking gently as his hand grasped the globes of her ass. He fondled it, one finger running lightly through the cleft. His touch seemed to leave tiny trails of awareness on her flesh. She shifted slightly, lying on her back. He grasped her hand and pulled it to his cock, letting her feel the swelling of his new erection. "Again so soon?" She teased. She kneaded his shoulders as his mouth moved from one nipple to the other. "I'll last even longer now." He said, moving up to kiss her ear. "I'll have you begging me to come in you. I'm going to fuck you all night." He moved between her legs, and rubbed his semi-erect cock in her wet sex; she felt it grow as he pushed it against her. He held the lips open wide and touched his cock to her opening. "Oh god, what a sight, Jenn." He said, looking down. "The sight of your sweet pussy ready to take my cock inside of you." He pushed forward, and his length slipped into her. "Oh yes... just like that." His cock inside of her felt so good. She whispered to him how good it felt to have him inside of her, filling her; his fingers rubbed her distended clitoris, he murmured to her how lovely she looked lying there before him, her legs wrapped around his waist, her breasts swaying as he stroked slowly in and out of her cunt. A hand reached down to fondle her breasts, palm rubbing in circles over her nipples as he slowly, slowly brought her to orgasm. It felt so different this time, no screaming knot built up inside of her, but as if she was being overwhelmed by water, a tide washing over her harder and stronger until she was submerged in its warm wetness, a burst of sweetness releasing her. He gasped as she convulsed around him, but never stopped his gentle rocking inside of her. She held up her arms to him, and he leaned over her, kissing her breathlessly. "I want you to come inside of me." She shifted her hips downward, as if to make it harder for him to stroke outward. "I want to feel it." He felt so good inside of her, but she wanted to feel the way he would swell inside of her when he came, to feel his whole body tense as he stroked nearer and nearer to his breaking point. She wanted to hear him cry out to her as he flooded her with his orgasm. "Turn over." He said, withdrawing his cock from her. He lifted her leg with his hand, and she rolled onto her knees. He remained kneeling, and put one knee between her legs and one ouside of them. He pushed into her, and she felt him go deep inside; it felt as if she had never been penetrated quite so deep before. The freedom of her body and the feeling of his cock moving in her faster and faster were bringing her to the brink again. She pushed back against his cock, urging him to haste, begging him to make her come and to come with her. She couldn't stop herself from thrusting harder and harder, to take all of him inside of her, every inch, every tiny increment of his length must be buried deep inside of her. He grabbed her hips and reciprocated, thrusting into her as if breaking a wild horse to the saddle. She again tensed, knowing that she was only seconds away from another orgasm, and she called out to him to feel her come. When she did, her body shook, and her arms buckled beneath her. She rested her forehead on her forearms, and felt the pull of her tightened cunt grip Rob's cock, every stroke of him pulling on her already spasming clitoris, driving her to pull on him even tighter. "Oh yes!" He was shouting. "I'm going to come inside of you..." His words trailed off into loud groans; his thrusting stopped as she felt him stretch the walls of her pussy and start to come into her. She felt frenzied, she reared back against him, continuing the thrusting as he came, and his grip on her hips tightened, his groans louder and louder as he came inside of her in jet after jet after jet. He toppled over onto her back, and lay there, sweating, breathing heavily. After a time, he moved from over her and lay on his back, pulling her into his arms. He kissed the top of her head, and she lay it on his chest. She could hear his heart beating wildly. Held in his arms, she slept. The next morning, when she awoke, he was gone. There was a note beside the bed. A note, just like the one she had seen yesterday, on hotel stationery, addressed "For Jenn." The sentiment was much shorter this time. It read "I love you. Goodbye." She kept the note for many years.
