Intimate Affairs [ON HOLD]

V

Cloud nine.

A feeling I never thought I'd attain until now, but it was also something I shouldn't be comfortable with.

Not even while I was still cuddling up with the man that'd fucked me with a purpose. We hadn't moved for a while as our bodies recovered from strenuous sex. To tell you the truth I could hardly move and after a while I'd fallen into a blissful sleep. I half expected Luc to wake me up and tell me to go home, but he slept beside me as well.

And somewhere in the middle of the night he'd moved us under the sheets, our naked bodies were still pressed together when I woke.

I didn't know what to say.

Luc knew how to please a woman and he certainly didn't disappoint me. The lights had been cut off and the only source had come from the floor to ceiling window that he hadn't kept covered, but the soft blue hue of the morning light peeked through and I could see Luc's face as clear as day.

When we're unconscious everything is vulnerable, our bodies, our minds, and even our appearance. Gone was the rough exterior that Luc exuded and what was now in front of me was the remnants of a person exhausted from sex.

I bit my lips together to keep from laughing in the event that I wake him up accidentally because I couldn't believe that I was here in bed with him. He was every bit of perfect, his hair fell into his face with his lips just slightly ajar as quiet snores could be heard from him.

I could've laid there to listen to him snore for the remainder of the time we had left, but alas, reality struck. My distraction had finally withered away and now I was faced with the decision about finding a new place to live. This hotel had been out of the question just like it'd been to ask Luc for help. We'd only just met.

Pull yourself together, Fallon! It was just one night of amazing sex and you'll never see him again.

Good things always come to an end. At least in my life it has. Luc unconsciously loosened his arms from around me when I started to detach myself from him. He merely rolled over to his side and continued to slumber as I climbed out of bed.

Hmm, the bed. I was definitely going to miss that too. The luxurious mattress that'd felt like sleeping on a cloud and bedsheets that were soft like cotton. It sure as hell beat my tiny mattress that I kept on the floor with one blanket that'd barely kept me warm during the colder nights.

I was sad to leave.

Tiptoeing to the chair that'd Luc and I both used to set aside our clothes, I picked up mine. I was still slick from earlier and I needed a bath, but I would've rather done it in my own home and not risk waking up Luc. Who knew how he'd treat me after what we'd just done? I never stayed around to find out in the past, it was too awkward to have to make small talk.

I was doing us both a favor.

Finding my bra, then clipping it on from behind, I started to search for my panties when another thought came to me. His pants. They were laid across from my clothes and there was a noticeable bulge coming from one of his pockets. I immediately picked them up and started to delve into the right pocket when I stopped.

Don't do it, I told myself because Luc had been every bit of a gentleman to me throughout the night and it would be rude to just steal from him.

But then what was I going to do when I get back home? What was I going to tell Nan? This was my final chance to bring some money in and I was going to come back jobless again.

Spend the day finding a job and make them want to hire you. Besides, thieving had cost me the job at the hotel. Maybe other business establishments wouldn't do a background like they did here. It was a long shot, but I was willing to continue to put in the effort.
