“We closed the place down,” he said.

Chaya glanced around. “Shit. I hope they didn’t keep it open for us.”

“I kinda like that they did. Don’t worry, I’ll leave a good tip.”

It was a short walk to their hotel on Aldwych. The interior was the kind of vibe Chaya loved. All Scandinavian. Light and bright with muted colours. According to the website, the Terrace Suite was the most impressive room, and even though he could afford it, it better be, given how much it cost for the night. But she deserved it.

“Holy crap, this is beautiful, Ben,” she said when he pushed the door open for her to step inside.

It was decorated in what Uncle Allan would call bird’s egg colours. The palest of blues and turquoise and cream. Fresh flowers were everywhere.

Letting the door slip shut behind him, he slipped his hands around her waist, placing his lips close to her ear.

“Do you want to know what I was thinking about during the opera?”

Chaya leaned back into him, tilting her head to the right so he could kiss her neck. It was an invitation that would be rude to refuse. “What’s that?”

“How I really want to fuck you in that dress and those shoes up against the hotel room door. And how I hope the door rattles, so everyone passing by down the hallway knows I’m fucking you against it.” He slid his hand down the front of her dress, cupping her through the fabric so he could feel the heat of her.

The curve of her ass lined up perfectly with his dick, the heels giving her the extra height to make it work.

“Are you going to let me?” he asked.

He knew the answer, but he needed Chaya to say it. Consent was always going to matter between the two of them, given her past.

She turned in his arms. “Yes, Ben,” she whispered.

He ran his thumb across her lips, giving what they were about to do time to settle between them. She’d told him she liked to know. Liked time to think about how it was going to feel.

Chaya opened her mouth slightly and he dipped his thumb between her lips. She licked the pad of it, and then, with hollowed cheeks, she sucked more of it in until his whole thumb was surrounded by her.

It couldn’t have been more arousing, even if it had been his dick.

He pulled his thumb out, replacing it with his lips. “Fuck,” he muttered, finally. “Sometimes I wonder how I could ever want you more than I do right in that moment until the next moment comes along.”

Chaya’s eyes shone with need, her breath coming faster.

“Go to the door,” he instructed. “Slip your underwear down your legs, and then lean back against it, close your eyes, and wait for me. Don’t move, no matter what you hear me doing. Just think about what it’s going to feel like.”

For a moment, she simply bit down on her lower lip, before doing as he said.

Tension built between the two of them so tight that it would take nothing to snap it, even though she was half a room away. As she slipped her fingers beneath the thin straps of black lace, he rolled the sleeves of his black shirt over his forearms. When her panties were finally on the floor, and her eyes closed, he saw the way her shoulders dropped as she relaxed.

Waiting for him.

He stood, simply watching her, letting the seconds pass, as Chaya stood patiently. “I’m proud of you for waiting there for me.” With one finger, he traced a line from her jaw, down her neck, along the rise of her breasts. “So beautiful,” he muttered, and he noticed the flicker of a smile, as she fidgeted and pressed her thighs together. “You ever wonder if you have a praise kink, babe?”

Her eyes opened. “A what?”

“You like it when I tell you that you did a good job or look beautiful or how proud I am of you.”

She bit her lip again and looked away. “Maybe. I just… I guess I always wanted to be enough for you.”

Raising the hem of her skirt, he kissed her. “You already are.”

Dropping to his knees, he pressed his face to her pussy, inhaling the musky scent of her. He nudged her legs a little wider and used his thumbs to open her to him. With one long stroke of his tongue, he licked as much of her as he could reach.

He leaned back a little and looked up at her. “Thinking about what we were going to do really did it for you, huh?”
