"Room Service!" A muffled voice announced, with a loud knock at the door to GLQ's permanent suite on the seventh floor of Denver's fabulous Brown Palace Hotel.
"One moment, please!" Royce Engel called back, breaking his post-coital embrace with his 18-year old ward, Clementine McFee. He left the bathroom and walked naked into the main room of the suite. Quickly crossing to the bedroom, he grabbed two long forest green silk dressing gowns from the closet. Pulling one on, he tied its sash as he returned to the main entry, double-checking that Clementine remained out of sight behind the closed bathroom door. "Come in and set it up at the table by the window, please," Engel said, letting in the waiter with the food cart.
"Yes sir, Mr. Engel," replied the waiter with a deferential nod.
While the dinner service was being placed, Royce ducked into the bathroom and handed the second robe to Clementine. "Forget your dress and drawers, kiddo," he said, picking her clothes up from the tile floor and tossing them in the wastebasket on top of their discarded used rubbers. He winked, adding, "you won't need them," and then returned to the main room, closing the door behind him.
When Clementine appeared in the main room, the exiting waiter paused. He took some time, seemingly making adjustments to the serving platters left on his cart, however this was, in fact, a subterfuge allowing him to scan the young blonde woman joining Engel at the table. Her bare feet and ankles flashed beneath the floor-length hem of her dark robe, which hung loose from her sash down, but clung like paint to her shoulders and bosom. The gold piping of the shawl collar accented her unrevealed cleavage and stirred greater excitement in the waiter than if she had been completely nude. His dick hardened as he watched her naturally sashay. Her rolling hips and the rising swell of her covered breasts were painfully alluring. His flight of fancy was interrupted when Royce called from the window, "You won't forget..."
"No, sir," the waiter hurried his answer. "'An extra pot of crรจme Chantilly with the shortcake'.. I won't forget!" He scuttled swiftly out of the room, lest the result of his leering delay should be discovered.
"What's 'shortcake' and 'crรจme Chantilly'?" inquired Clementine as she stepped up beside Royce and stared out of the window into the Denver night. Eliding her inquiry, she continued, "I never dreamed there were so many people!" Clementine tucked her left arm around Engel's waist and clutched him with a surprisingly firm grip. "I'm scared... can I go home, now?" She mused, unsure herself whether her question was serious. Clementine tipped her head and rested her cheek on his shoulder.
Royce chuckled softly. "That's three different things in as many seconds, kiddo," he pointed out. Returning her sideways embrace, he slid his right hand along her gown's back, up her ribs and under her bust, supporting her right breast with his forearm while his palm slipped through the fold and rested on her bare flat tummy. "'Shortcake' is like a sweet biscuit and, when it's topped with ripe strawberries and 'crรจme Chantilly', it's dessert heaven. As for all the people, and being scared... well, I know it's a shock, but I am confident you will soon be looking back at these first days away from the mine as just an important first step of an amazing journey." He patted her stomach lightly. "Before you think about 'going home, now,' how about we eat our dinner and get a good night's rest?" He asked the question while maintaining serious doubt about how much rest they would get.
Clementine and Royce sat mostly in silence eating their simple dinner of prime rib, baked potato and boiled green snap-beans with a side salad of tossed mixed greens in a lightly seasoned oil and vinegar dressing. Clementine watched the city lights as Royce watched her. Both were famished, having had only meager trail rations and canteen water through the long day. Clementine swallowed her final bite. "I didn't realize I was so hungry!" She declared, looking at her empty plates and draining the last of her ice-water, drawn from the hotel's own deep artesian well.
"I know what you mean, Clementine," Royce answered, indicating his own clean china. "As if the ride wasn't enough, I think my appetite only increased when we washed up for supper," he said with a little laugh. Clementine's face colored. She lowered her eyes and suppressed a giggle. "But, I saved room for dessert. How about you?" He asked.
