"Number 210, number 210," I muttered to myself as I strode down the tiled hallway.
The click-clack of my heels on the floor was the only noise in the dead of night, save for the subtle thrum of the hall lights and the muffled moaning emanating from behind closed doors. Soon, I found room 210 and as I raised my hand to knock, the door swung open and a deep voice rumbled, "Come in."
Shoving the slip of paper with the room number on it deep into the cleft of my bosom, I adjusted the half-slip under my dress and walked into the darkened room.
"Sit on the bed," the voice commanded.
I sat on the small double bed and looked around the room. As far as I could see in the gloominess of the room, it was shabby but clean, much like the rest of the motel I'd been instructed to come to. No matter where I looked, I couldn't see the source of the deep voice.
Then, a shadow moved out of the bathroom door, startling me. I turned on the bedside light just as he moved next to the bed.
He was tall and broad, wearing a crisp navy suit and a red mask, covering the top half of his face. His jaw was strong, the beginnings of a beard shadowing his neck. Silently, he moved towards me.
"Lie down."
I lowered myself onto the green coverlet as he knelt down beside the bed. His hand reached out and stroked my belly through my black silk dress. Slowly, his hand moved further down my abdomen. When he reached the space between my legs, he simply skimmed over it and began massaging my thighs. Pushing my dress up over my hips, he then unbuckled my lace garter and rolled down my fishnet stockings, peppering kisses on my thighs as he went.
"Wait," I said.
