The hustle and bustle of New York City rang up between the high-rise buildings. 34 floors up, I woke to the sound of a zipping suitcase. I sat up, rubbing my eyes into focus.
"I was trying not to wake you," Ashley Benson said, setting her suitcase upright at the bedroom door, "What time is your flight?"
I rolled over and grabbed my phone and looked at my boarding pass. "Uhh, 2:40."
"Don't let it sneak up on you. With traffic, it'll take longer than you think."
I lifted the covers off me and placed my feet off the edge of the bed. I was still bottomless from the previous night's exploits. My member was standing in full attention to welcome the morning. I stood and walked toward the bathroom, where Ashley was gathering her final few items.
As I entered, Ashley shut her make-up case and turned toward me, her smile twinkled.
"I'm gonna miss you!" she said, giving me a hug. Her hair and face pressed warmly against my bare chest.
"I'm going to miss you too," I said, giving her a final squeeze.
"I've got another project starting in a few months. I'm going to put in a request to have you come stay with me, again."
"I'd love that," I smiled, giving her a kiss.
Ashley grabbed her make-up case and walked toward the bathroom door, playfully squeezing my butt as she exited.
It had been a bumpy start to the two-month residency at the hotel. Running into Samantha and our resulting breakup had thrown me off my game. Fortunately, Ashley had a warmth that quickly helped ease my heartache. Samantha vanished after that night. Jonathan said she had been called away to visit a new resort opening in Japan, but I obviously knew that wasn't the case. It hurt me that she had been hurt, but it was ultimately based on her own choices.
I exited the warm shower, steam covering the mirror. I wrapped myself in a towel and entered the bedroom to find Ashley's luggage was already gone. A note lay on my pillow:
Joe,
Thank you for the last two months! Not only did I enjoy our time together, but I feel like I once again understand my true worth. I hope this isn't the last time we get to spend together; but if it is, just know how much you mean to me. I value the friendship we've forged over these two months and will be forever grateful for having met you.
With love,
Ashley
I couldn't help but smile. Deep down I knew she felt this way about our time, but it was great to hear it directly from her. Little did she know, she helped me more than she even knew.
30 minutes later, I was standing on the curb, searching for my ride, luggage in tow. A black Towncar slid between two taxis. The driver rushed from his seat and around toward me.
"Joseph?" He said, out of breath from the four-foot sprint.
I nodded, even though the last time I had been called Joseph was when I was eight, by my mom when I had gotten in trouble for something at school. He grabbed my bags and tossed them in the trunk. I slid into the rear passenger side door.
"There's an envelope for you back there," the driver said, as he flopped into the driver's seat.
It was a familiar envelope. It was obviously a new assignment from Eliza. While I'd hoped for a short break, I was anxious to see what was awaiting me. Opening the envelope, I pulled out her letter:
Joe,
Apologies for the issues that occurred with you and Samantha on this trip. Moving forward, we will do our best to ensure you aren't put on adjoining cases.
You will be returning to Los Angeles; but unfortunately, we can't afford to let you sit on the bench. Demand only continues to go up, as we've landed even more clientele this year. With your strong record, we are assigning you to a new client who has demanded confidentiality, Alexandra Daddario.
Alexandra is coming to us having wed about a year ago. She married someone nearly twenty years her senior, and while things are going well between them, she has found that she is not fulfilled in the bedroom. This is further exacerbated by their differing schedules and shoot locations. You will be keeping Alexandra company for three weeks in a beach house outside of Santa Monica, while she films a movie in the surrounding area.
Given her marital status, it is imperative that you are not seen in public with her. There is private beach access at the house and the area surrounding the house has been secured by our team. However, do not venture outside of the main plot of land for the house.
Here is a breakdown for the client:
Alexandra Daddario
Age: 36
Height: 5'8"
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Measurements: 34-27-34
Bra Size: 34D
Sexual Experience: Advanced
Alexandra will be very open and honest with you about her wants and needs for this assignment. Please be aware that she will be looking to explore and satisfy some things that she hasn't been able to over the last few year. We know that you will work to ensure she remains satisfied.
Eliza
