His text was short, agonizingly so. "Hilton Garden, Ybor, Rm 127. 7pm. Sharp."
I felt the bottom drop out of my stomach. We'd been flirting for weeks, but he was always hundreds of miles away. The other day he'd said he'd be in the area, but I figured that was more cyber-flirting. It wasn't.
Now, he was just a short trip downtown, and he left no question that I was to come to him.
We both knew why.
I checked the time and startled - I didn't have time to think -- only to react. I barely had time to get cleaned up and get in the car, but found myself doing so quickly and with a determination that belied the mixed emotions and fears inside me.
More than once during the drive, I thought of turning around and going home. Stopped at a light, I pulled out my phone to text him that I just couldn't do this... but all I saw was his text, and the total lack of ambiguity in his orders. "7pm. Sharp."
The light turned green and I drove onward into the dwindling daylight. It would be dark soon. Good. "Dark for dark business."
I picked a parking spot in the back of the hotel, and backed in so my license plate wouldn't show. I even looked around to see if anyone was watching me. It was 6:50, plenty of time. I checked my messages once more, nothing new, then I scrolled back one or two messages. My heart leapt in my throat when I saw the picture again. I'd seen it many times before, but looking at the picture of his dick, knowing it was just a few steps away, and knowing he'd summoned me here to service it -- the fantasy world we'd been bantering in was about to get very real.
I checked the parking lot again before getting out of the car.
Fortunately, the desk clerk was busy, and the signs directed me down the correct hallway. Walking down the long stretch of colorful hotel carpeting, past door after door, my anxiety started to well up. I'm glad there wasn't an elevator ride, I'd have probably just returned to my car and went home. Finally, I was at the door to 127. I saw the edge of a piece of cardboard keeping the door from locking and I knew I was supposed to go right in. It was 6:58.
I gently opened the door.
Tentatively, I entered the room. The cardboard fluttered to the floor and the door closed behind me with a click that had to be the loudest noise I'd ever heard in my life. Ok, maybe it wasn't that loud, but it symbolized that the three of us were alone in that room. Him, me...
and his dick.
