I work as a Bellman at the (Blank) Park Hotel in New York City. It's a very swank, sophisticated boutique hotel with a high-end clientele. It is often described as "sexy" and to feed that image a few years ago we started offering a menu of sex toys that can be ordered and delivered to your room.
It is pretty rare that anyone orders anything but it happens occasionally and it's kind of fun delivering them to people's doors. All the toys come in the same silver boxes in order to be discreet, but we all know what's in them as I politely yet knowingly hand them through a guests door and they accept them with a mix of embarrassment and bravado.
Usually it's couples but sometimes a single woman, traveling alone will feel a little risquΓ© and order something for herself. It was a delivery like that that led to the experience I just needed to share somewhere.
It was kind of a slow weekday night around 11:30 when I was notified by the desk to make a delivery to room 620. Sure enough it was one of our silver boxes so I perked up a little as I picked it up at the desk. All the boxes are the same size and shape. The only difference is the weight and this one felt a little heavy as I held it to my ear and gave it a little shake as I carried it into the vacant elevator.
I rode up watching the floors roll by wondering who might have ordered this treat. I'd noticed a few couples around the hotel but it was low occupancy that week so not a lot. There were a few businessmen and women too, but everyone was much older than me so I hadn't paid a lot of attention.
I have never considered myself sexy but I am decent enough. All the staff at the hotel are pretty good looking frankly, and I have a sweet girlfriend from college with whom I share an apartment. Sometimes the guest get a little flirty but nothing has ever happened. I have never been looking to do anything other than pay the bills as I work through school.
I arrived at room 620 and took a breath, stood up straight and knocked firmly on the door as I announced "Room Service".
I heard some rustling in the room and the lock clicking over as the door swung inward revealing a 50-ish year old blonde I had actually noticed earlier in the bar. She was dressed now in a hotel robe and her hair was damp, but I had noticed her because she was attractive and had been in kind of a funky eclectic outfit that made me think she must be in fashion or something. The crows feet around her eyes popped out a bit as she smiled up and me and blushed as she took the proffered package from me.
"Ah... thank you." she said, a little drunkenly perhaps, I noted.
"You're very welcome ma'am. Enjoy. Have a good night." I smiled back.
"Oh.. wait.. Hold on just a sec.." she walked back into the room and rummaged in her purse on the desk chair, then returned to press a $20 bill into my palm. "Thank you." She smiled again and quite warmly let her hand rest on my chest for a brief moment before backing away and shutting the door.
Have fun! I thought as I strolled back down the hall stuffing the $20 into my pocket.
I returned to the bell station and my normal routine. Carried bags for late arriving guests. Ran some room service orders around and got on with my job. Things got interesting though when the bell captain told me that room 620 had requested me personally, for "help" with something.
"Room 620? What do they need?" I asked slightly puzzled, already having forgotten in the ebb and flow of my night my earlier delivery there.
"How the Hell should I know? Apparently Mrs. King asked for you. You made a service call there earlier...?" The captain answered.
"Oh, right!" I remembered "Ok." And I headed for the elevator wondering what Mrs. King, as I had just learned her name, could want.
She seemed slightly agitated when she opened the door. "Oh, thank goodness you're here!" She exclaimed. "Come in... come in please.." she stepped back ushering me into her room.
The bed was disheveled and I noticed an open bottle of wine on the bedside table. I also noticed the silver wrapping and the box I had delivered earlier tossed on the floor along with the packaging for a vibrator, and most interestingly, lying on the bed covered a little by the bed sheet but still plainly visible, was a blue "rabbit" style vibrator/ dildo.
"I'm sorry for the mess.." she sighed exasperatedly as she slid past me and sat down on the side of the bed.
She was clearly a little tipsy and seemed somewhat distressed.
"Is there something I can help you with ma'am?" I smiled down at her trying to seem helpful while being professional.
"Oh.. God.. yes...I don't know.." She laughed a bit, confused, like she was in a daze but she perked up suddenly "Would you like a little wine?" I opened this whole bottle and..." she trailed off as she reached for a glass and noticed the bottle was almost empty.
"Oh no thank you Ma'am, I can't. I'm working."
"Oh, of course, of course..." she looked down a little embarrassed.
"Is there something I can do to help you Ma'am" I asked.
"Well yes. First, stop calling me ma'm. I am not a ma'am. My name is Molly."
"Ok.. I'm sorry, what can I do for you Molly?"
"Well," she laughed a little under her breath. "It.. it isn't working." She said quietly.
