The train announced its arrival at the station, and everyone began to stand. Some collected baggage whilst the rest pushed their way through in a rush to get to the doors, as if there was some imaginary prize to being first off.
City folk. Evie thought as she rolled her eyes. She waited in her seat until the crowd thinned out a little more. Born and raised in the countryside, Evie had little time or patience for the hype of city life, this included the considerably faster pace at which everyone here seemed to live in. She stood slowly, picked up the small tote bag she had brought and swung it over her shoulder as she made for the exit.
The platform was as busy as the train, people stood impatiently waiting to get on, most of them so focused on their phones they weren't aware of anything going on around them. Evie reached for the sunglasses that sat on her head and put them in place. Summer was fully here; the sun was high in the sky and there wasn't a cloud in sight. She had always loved the sunshine, it made her feel happier and smile brighter.
Exiting the station, she stood in one corner and pulled out her phone to check the directions again. Maps showed her the walking route and estimated it would take her about 10 minutes. With a smile, she chucked her phone in her bag and headed down the road.

Evie stopped outside the hotel entrance. She could feel her heart in her chest, nerves and excitement flooded her body. The mirrored windows gave her a chance to check her reflection, her hair had held up rather well in the humidity and still fell in soft curls around her shoulders and over her chest. She rummaged in her bag and found her lipstick and applied a fresh coat. She took a deep breath and smoothed out her black dress before pushing the door and heading inside.
Mark was sitting at the table in the corner sipping on a coffee when he glanced up and saw her come in. He paused with his coffee cup halfway to his lips as he watched her scan the crowd. He felt the stirring in his jeans increase, weeks of flirting online had him semi-hard even before he left the house this morning. He stood just as she glanced over, he watched the smile light up her face as she saw him, giving him a little wave, she made her way over to his table.
"Hey" her voice was soft, almost timid, you'd be fooled into thinking she was shy and innocent if it wasn't for the smirk playing on her lips and the naughty glint in her eyes.
"Hi," he replied, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek, smiling as he felt her breath hitch.
"Would you like something to drink?" Mark asked and she nodded in return. He headed to the till and ordered her a tea, something he remembered she said she preferred. The lady behind the till said she would bring it over and he paid before joining Evie back at the table.
He sat opposite her giving him the best view of her chest which her low neckline provided. He could see the hint of a red bra and he felt the twitch in his trousers again. Asking how her journey had been, he sat and listened as she spoke. Watching her lips move, her hands.
Someone brought her tea over and she paused, looking up and thanking them before taking a sip. Then she asked him about his journey. He was telling her it had been uneventful when he felt something moving up his leg. It took only a moment to realise it was her foot. She paused as she asked him about his work and as he began to talk her foot moved again, sliding up the inside of his thigh. Her head tilted slightly to the side as she listened intently. His words caught when he felt her toes press against the bulge in his trousers and he watched her lips curve into a grin.
"You were saying?" She prompted, looking at him expectantly. He tried to ignore the feel of her toes rubbing against him as he spoke again.
Suddenly he stood, she looked a little surprised, but she was still smiling.
"Let's go!" He spoke quietly, coming to her side.
"But I haven't finished my drink, and you haven't finished your story" she spoke so innocently it just made him even harder.
"We have now!" He growled and grabbed her arm, she easily let him pull her to her feet and then towards the elevators.
They stood in silence as they waited for the doors to open, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw her still smirking. The doors opened and they stepped inside, an elderly couple followed them in, he nodded in greeting to them. As the doors closed, she came to stand in front of him. She faced forward and he didn't think anything was amiss until he felt her fingers brush against the bulge in his jeans. He tried to ignore it as she stepped back, he didn't realise she had carefully undone his zip until her hand was pushed into his jeans and she was squeezing him.
He bit back the moan threatening in his throat. The couple in front turned to face them.
