mouth as his lips buzz against mine. "Spend every second of the rest of the night making you unravel in ways you never have before."
My insides quiver as he unleashes the first bout of chaos through every atom of my being. His lips and tongue ignite a fire in me I didn't know existed, traveling across my jaw and neck, before he releases the strap of my dress and sucks on my breasts.
When he moves back up, I search for his lips, wanting to taste them. He never lets me. The entire night, I spend doing things I've never done before, but he never kisses me on the lips.
The next morning, I wake up. Sunshine bursts through the window. I turn to the other side of the bed, expecting to see him.
But he's gone. A cut silk tie, which must have been my blindfold, lies on the pillow next to me. Every other trace he was ever with me is gone, except for the delicious scent of his skin still clinging on mine.
It was supposed to be this way. I knew and agreed to the terms. He kept his word and stuck to his end of the deal. But I still notice the ache of disappointment he's gone. Part of me is giddy from everything we did and all the ways he made me feel. The other half wonders if it was better to have never known anything so excruciatingly pleasurable existed.
There isn't a bone in my body that isn't aware I'll never experience anyone like him ever again.
I let myself get lost in my trip down memory lane for a brief moment. Then I get up, shower, and go to put on my clothes from the night before. I figure I'll do the walk of shame out of the high-end suite and onto the sixth floor to the room I'm sharing with my girlfriends. Panic fills me when I can't find my panties, bra, or dress.
I open the closet, and a new, white, very expensive sundress is hanging there. It has a built-in bra, but there are no undergarments anywhere. A note is attached. It reads:
My Krasotka,
Your dress and bra will be delivered to your room after they are cleaned. I'm keeping your panties.
A scribbled letter resembling an M is at the bottom of the paper.
I gape at the note and dress for a minute then bite on my smile.
Pervert.
M. His name starts with an M. Or is it for his last name?
That's all I know of Mr. Stranger Danger. He could stand in front of me, and I wouldn't know it's him. I have zero clue what he looks like, his real name, or anything else about him. The only thing I'm positive about is his voice, bergamot and cardamom scent, and the way his body formed perfectly against mine. Most of the things he said, I didn't even understand since he often spoke in another language. I'm not sure how he knows what room number is mine, but for the first time in my life, I'm not going to overanalyze it.
Krasotka. He kept saying it all night, as if it were his pet name for me. What does it mean?
I grab my phone and type it into the search bar. It's Russian.
Krasotka: Gorgeous, Beauty.
Besides all the mind-blowing O's he gave me, it hits me that I genuinely feel happy and alive again. I haven't felt anything but unwanted, sad, and ugly in a long time.
For some crazy reason, I'm glad he kept my panties.
