Elise stepped out of the bathroom and gestured down at herself.
"So..." she asked, doing a twirl for Craig who was already making himself comfortable in the bed.
"Ha, looks better on you!" He chuckled, pulling back the corner of the duvet so she could climb into bed.
Elise should have been sharing a hotel room with her best friend Jen, while Craig was in the next room with Dan after a night of drinking and dancing in the city. Dan had to cancel at the last minute, leaving the three of them to carry on with their weekend away as planned.
Well, almost as planned.....
Just before 1am, Elise caught sight of Jen on the dance floor with her tongue down some random stranger's throat. 'Fuck' she thought to herself, 'we're sharing a room! What's she playing at?' As Elise looked on, it was clear that Jen was planning to do more than just grope this guy in the dark... which was how she'd ended up sharing a room with Craig. Unable to get her bag or her pjs, she'd borrowed a t-shirt and boxer shorts from him too.
It wasn't a big deal, they'd been friends for years. Most people thought they were more than that and were surprised to hear they weren't a couple.
Elise snuggled into the stiff budget hotel sheets as Craig spooned her to warm her up. It was almost 4am and the walk back to the hotel meant that the buzz from the alcohol had almost worn off. Elise closed her eyes and breathed deeply, wrapped in Craig's smell from the tshirt she'd borrowed.
"They're still going." Craig giggled at the rhythmic sound of the bed next door bumping into the wall. "She always has all the fun." Elise replied sleepily as she felt Craig's hand resting lightly on her hip. She started to doze off as she felt his thumb tracing small circles on a patch of bare skin above her waistband.
"She doesn't have to be the only one having fun..." he murmured, slipping his warm hand onto her waist under her t-shirt.
"Craig we can't." Elise replied, without removing his hand. "Why not?" Elise felt his hot breath against the back of her neck as he leaned in closer, gently kissing her behind her ear. Elise tried to form a reply as he continued grazing her neck with soft kisses, "well, it's you and me..." she countered, tilting her head involuntarily as he moved further down her neck. His hand brushed against the underside of her firm right breast. "What does that matter? Everyone thinks we already have anyway..."
"Yeah, but..." Elise gasped as Craig ran his hand slowly from her breast down to her thigh.
He was leaning over her side now, his breath brushing her cheek as he kissed the side of her mouth. "Come on. Who's going to know?" He breathed, kissing her again. Elise turned her head a little towards him, so his next kiss landed on her lips. She melted a little at the soft moan he let out as their lips touched.
Elise rolled onto her back as his lips touched hers again. She didn't want to make things awkward in the future, but at the same time, she couldn't deny the heat building inside of her at his touch.
