My name is Easton, and a short time ago I discovered a hidden world inside the Cheslea Inn hotel chain. I found out a private, non-exclusive sex club exists that meets just after the bar closes each night. One night a beautiful woman picked me up for anonymous sex and introduced me to what was known as The Inn Club.
*****
On this trip I was in Southern California for a week. About six months prior I had identified an opportunity in an emerging market sector that my company had little presence in. As this opportunity progressed I spent more and more time with the customer base, and now that a proposal was finally on the table it was time to buckle down and get the award. The proposal writing process is filled with long days and stress relieving nights, which normally means lots of drinking.
For me, however, there was another stress relief opportunity to be found with the Inn Club. This time I was staying at a more out of the way Inn due to the number of colleagues in town.
After another long day of trying to demonstrate the customer side of things I was ready to play. The first two nights at the hotel were a bust, which at least allowed me to get some much needed sleep. On the third night things turned out differently.
I arrived at the bar just before closing and ordered something different, scotch on the rocks. A nice sipping drink should I end up alone yet again. I was seated alone at a table for two when a lovely woman walked up to the bar and took a seat. She waved off the bartender and then slowly looked around the room. As her gaze passed my way I realized I knew her from the local office. Well, sort of. I knew she worked at the office we were currently using for the proposal writing as I had seen her there on several occasions. I tried not to let recognition show on my face and none shone on hers.
As I sat my glass back down she stood and walked over to me. Dressed in a slinky dark blue dress, the color helped to suggest more than reveal her figure. Thin and trim and curvy I had previously ogled her and concluded she sported something along the lines of a 34-26-34 body, with a DD or bigger cup size. That, combined with killer looks and very long platinum blonde hair, meant she surely received no end of attention. Unfortunately I was willing to bet most of that attention was unwanted. This beautiful woman, whom I knew to be named Samantha, took a seat next to me and pulled her chair a bit closer.
"Are you alone tonight?" she asked.
"Not any longer," I replied.
She grinned, "No, perhaps not." She offered a hand sporting a French manicure. I took it and we shook. "Ana," she said before releasing my hand.
"Alex," I said, "pleased to meet you." I added, "If you don't mind my saying, you are surely the most beautiful woman I've ever met."
She sat back and looked at me with an expression I couldn't place. She gave me that look for a long while before a hint of something else crossed her face. Again I couldn't place itβsadness, annoyance, I wasn't sure.
"I'm sorry," I said, "You must get that all the time, and you probably didn't sit down here just to hear me tell you how good you look." When her expression went neutral I added, "Are you sure I can't get you something from the bar and then you can tell me about your day?"
Instead of answering, she raised an eyebrow and picked up my glass, sampling the 16 year old Glenfidditch it held. "Alex, thank you for the offer but I'm not really here to drink. And as for my day, well, I'll leave work at work. Suffice to say it was much the same as any other day, filled with endless tasks of questionable value and yet each sent out with an urgency that belied the banality of it all."
Ah, now I understood the look. "Not taken seriously?"
"Fuck no," she said in a quiet huff. "I've heard people compare me to Jessica fucking Rabbit, though with a different color palette. Many of the women at the office simply tolerate me, and too many of the men ogle me whether they know it or not. I could dress down and try to look more plain, but I'm not interested."
"You could try another place to work."
She shrugged and her eyes grew distant, "Maybe I'm overly sensitive to it. More of the people are helpful and supportive than not."
"But," I said.
"But I'd like to be seen as more than a great body with a mind."
I nodded. I decided not to keep up the illusion that I didn't know her.
"Ana, I should tell you that I have seen you at the office."
Her eyes widened, "And you didn't say anything?"
I lowered my voice to a whisper, "I'm saying so now." I paused, "If I bump into you at work I wouldn't want it to be a surprise."
She looked at me skeptically before smiling. "Alright Alex, fair enough. We're pretty far from that office. I assume you stay at the same chain all the time for loyalty points, and there's lots of closer Inns to that location. So why here?"
"So that I'm far from that office." She raised an eyebrow and gave me what can only be described as a hungry look. I added, "So why are you -here-?"
From deep within her cleavage she produced a card and handed it to me. She held onto it for a moment as I took it, forcing me to tug it from her grasp. Looking me in the eyes she said, "I'm hunting, Alex. Aren't you?"
I looked at a card that listed her number and read:
Ana
Player, The Inn Club
I turned it over to read: solo, hetero, talk. I did not know what she meant by the last, but I hoped to find out.
I handed her my card, and said, "Oh, I never hunt. I prefer to be the game whenever possible." The front of my card listed my number and read:
Alex
Player, The Inn Club
The back of this one read, typically for me: solo, het, requests.
"I see," she said, sitting back and crossing her legs in a very
Basic Instinct
way, "And tell me, Alex, are you worthy prey?"
I gave her body a thorough ogling before looking back up at her, "I certainly hope so."
She knocked back the last of the scotch and withdrew a phone. My own buzzed a bit later. 'Rm 601, talk time.'
I nodded and followed at some distance as we both left the bar and headed upstairs. I arrived at room 601 to find the door ajar. I cautiously pushed it back, moved the security latch out of the way and closed it. The bathroom door was open and no one was in there. Beyond was a nice suite with a large king bed and a single roll-away that looked to have unfolded from inside a small couch. The lights were off and the room was lit by a number of candles, unscented I noticed. Ana was pouring sparkling white wine into two glasses. She offered one to me and gestured toward the open sliding glass door that led to a balcony. I proceeded her outside and took a seat. The evening air had a slight chill to it, but the view of the mountains in the light of a full moon soon made me forget it. She sat down next to me.
"I do love the view from this location. Especially on nights like tonight."
"Oh?"
