EXCERPT: She had thought she could take care of herself in the cab before arriving, but that was not the case. Hansel would just have to help her out, then. She quickly buzzed his room from the front door of the apartment building. “Yes?” His voice sounded more nasal than usual. Probably the effects of the intercom. “I need you inside of me. Now.” There was some silence. Then, “Who is this?” Shit! She hung up the phone and quickly found the right buzzer button. “Hello?” “This Hansel?” “Yeah.” “I’m hot and need you inside of me.” “You can’t be here. My fiancée is on her way.” She laughed. The door buzzed and she was able to open it. She got on the elevator and pressed for the fourth floor. As the elevator climbed, she set her purse down on the floor, pulled her arms out from the sleeves of her red dress, scooched the dress down to her belly, and took off her bra. The elevator slowed. Why was it slowing down? The elevator was supposed to go to the fourth floor, not the second. Maybe someone else was getting on. Gretel quickly put her arms back through the dress sleeves, and adjusted her breasts inside the dress as the elevator doors began to open. She picked up her purse and rushed her hands behind her back to hide her bra. A short nerdy-looking guy wearing glasses got on. He seemed preoccupied with his thoughts. As the elevator continued its ascent, he suddenly looked confused. “We’re going up?” he said. “Yes.” “So, did you just come from downstairs?” “Yes. I’m here to see my fiancé.” “Oh.” He paused before saying, “Did you see another woman down there at the front door?” Gretel’s face suddenly burned hot. Her scalp itched silly as she realized this man was the one she accidentally buzzed. “Uh…I think so.” Thankfully, the elevator doors opened. “Okay. Thanks.” He suddenly looked distracted by something on the floor. “You dropped…uh…something.” Gretel looked down and saw her bra lying there. “Oh. Thanks!” She scooped it up quickly and scratched her itching head. She made her way to Hansel’s room and knocked on the door. Her luscious man answered wearing only a towel around his waist. “Housekeeping,” she said. “I’m here to collect your used towels.” “You can start with this one.” He yanked off his towel and threw it in her face. She giggled as she caught it. Views: 13
