Part 3: I Avail Myself of the Hotel Facilities

I closed the heavy blackout curtains and ate a few strawberries and drank some more champagne. I turned the lights out, slipped a sleep mask on and lay back. The room was warm and soporific and despite the tingle in my body, I was half asleep when there was a knock on the door. I pulled the towel roughly over my body and called “Come in.”

I heard the door open and a voice called “We have come for the trolley, Madame!”

I heard a light switch and a sharp intake of breath.

A different voice spoke, close by the side of the bed. “Is there anything Madame wants?”

With the sleep mask still covering my eyes, I edged up onto the pillows a little and said “If you don’t mind, I am feeling so lazy I don’t want to move. It is lovely. Could you pass me some strawberries and a drink of champagne”

The glass must have ben empty as I heard the liquid glug into the glass and then a strawberry touched my lips. I had several strawberries from one side and several large swallows of champagne from the someone on my other side apparently sitting on the bed – I suspect they may have had a little champagne but one voice announced that the bottle was empty. “Let ‘s order another bottle I said and felt a weight lift from the side of the bed. There was a sound from the phone as he dialled and a whispered conversation. The weight returned to the bed and the towel slipped down my body, I made no effort to put it back and I felt a hand stealthily tugging it off my body.
