I work 3rd shift at a small hotel. I'm single, out of college for a couple years. It doesn't pay great, but it works for me.
My official job title is Night Audit.
Basically, I get paid to sit behind the desk all night and stay awake.
Usually I just watch t.v., read, or play games on my phone.
But sometimes...
Sometimes I get up to something a little more naughty.
Take this night last week.
It was 2:45 AM on a Tuesday. The hotel was practically empty.
In walks this guy, six and a half feet tall. Well built. Nice suit.
This is not the kind of guy we normally get at our place.
"Excuse me." He says. "Do you have any rooms available?"
Polite too. I was already wet.
"We do."
"Great. I'll take one."
I brought up the registration screen and got him in a room.
"Wait." He said.
I stopped what I was doing.
I saw he was looking at the t.v. screen we have set up on the wall in the lobby, showing all our special rooms.
"You have special suites? With hot tubs?" He asked.
"We do."
"Any of those open?"
"A few."
"I'll take one of those." He said.
I noticed he didn't ask how much.
"Sure. Will that be cash or credit."
"Cash." He pulled out a money clip from his pocket. "How much?"
"$300"
He pulled off 6 bills. It was $600.
"The rest is for you if you'll show me to the room."
I couldn't believe I'd heard that right.
"You want me to what?" I asked.
"Show me to the room."
Now let me just say I know I look good. I'm 5' 4'' with round hips and a narrow waist. Thanks to a couple semesters of cosmetology, I know how to make my hair and make-up work for me.
I get hit on all the time. I'm used to men wanting me.
But I'm not used to men with money that look like this guy wanting me.
And I've never had them offer to pay me just to show them to their room. Of course, I was sure there was more to it.
"All I have to do is show you to your room?"
He nodded. "But I'm hoping you'll join me."
I was blushing. I knew it.
He either didn't notice or pretended not to.
My mind raced.
Our manager was very clear that under no circumstances were we allowed to join our customers in their rooms. Apparently there had been problems in the past, because it was printed on the first page of our employee handbook in large bold type.
But I really wanted the money.
Hell, I also really wanted him.
And that decided me.
"OK." I said.
He nodded and motioned for me to lead the way. He only had a single medium sized suitcase with him.
Whoever he was, and whatever he did, he traveled light.
We walked to the room in silence.
I couldn't think of anything to say.
"Here we are." I said.
"Could you open it for me?"
I opened his door with the key and pushed it open.
He walked in and turned on the light.
"Nice." He said. He set his suitcase down on the desk in the corner of the room and
turned to look at me.
"Will you join me?"
I realized I wanted to.
