The Hotel Lady Played with Me for Ten Days

My name is Adrián, I’m thirty-six years old, and I normally don’t travel alone. I avoid it, in fact. I like company, shared laughter, conversations that stretch on until the bottle runs dry. But that time I needed it. I’d ended up alone by my own choice, after a long, honest breakup, with no shouting or betrayals, but with that bitter taste left behind by the slow wear of love.

I was at that point where you’re not looking for anything, but secretly wish something would find you.

I picked Nerja by chance. Or by instinct. It was the middle of August, the town was burning under a sun that gave no mercy, and I needed the kind of heat that doesn’t go away with air conditioning. I booked a white, silent hotel on a hillside overlooking the Mediterranean. A refuge of whitewashed walls, jasmine in the hallways, and a silence that didn’t bother anyone.

I arrived on a Tuesday. I settled in, switched off my phone, took off my shoes. I had no plans. I wasn’t looking for distractions, just sun and sea. But the universe, capricious as always, had another idea.

It was the first morning, when I went down to breakfast, that I saw her.

She was sitting by the window, reading a book and sipping a coffee as black as her mane. She wore a white linen blouse, open just enough to invite a look without seeming deliberate. She had tanned skin, full lips resting against the spoon with an absent air, and a confidence in the way she held herself that said without words: I’ve lived, and I’ve lived well.

I couldn’t help looking at her. And she noticed.

She slowly turned her face, held my gaze from behind dark glasses, and gave the slightest smile with one corner of her mouth. It was a dangerous smile. Not seductive in the classic sense. It was the smile of someone who knows more than she shows and only shares it if she feels like it.

I felt a shiver. And I laughed to myself.

The second encounter was by the pool, at midday. I was swimming alone, trying to convince myself that this trip was still an exercise in introspection. I got out of the water soaked, the sun hitting me like a violent embrace, and she came down the stairs with a red sarong she didn’t bother to tie properly. The wind lifted it for a moment and exposed a pair of firm legs that weren’t afraid of being looked at.

—Do you like what you see, or are you just judging? —she said, without introducing herself.

—Judging? —I replied with a crooked smile—. For that I’d have to have finished looking. And I’m not done yet.

She stopped beside a lounger, set down her bag, took off her glasses, and looked at me for the first time with her eyes uncovered. They were green, with that amber streak that gives dangerous people away.

—Elena —she said, sitting down with a glass that smelled of rum and mint—. Fifty-two, in case you were thinking of sweet-talking me with lines like “you wear your age well.”

—Adrián. Thirty-six. And I’m not into preservation. I prefer to melt things.

Her laugh was a mix of surprise, interest, and approval. That was when I knew that trip would be anything but lonely.

We spent the following days in an elegant game. We didn’t always talk. Sometimes it was enough to simply cross paths. At breakfast, our tables were always close together. On the beach, her towel would mysteriously appear two steps from mine. We greeted each other in that neutral, almost indifferent tone, but our looks were playing on another level.

She had the art of provoking without being vulgar, and I had a weak will when someone moved with that much control.

One afternoon, during the hotel’s collective siesta, I found her in the little spa. She was alone in the jacuzzi. I knew she’d be there. I got in without saying a word, slipped into the water, and we looked at each other.

—Are you looking to relax or to provoke? —she said, still watching me while the steam covered her shoulders.

—And you? Are you looking to forget the world, or to be the center of it?

We fell silent. The warm water brushed against our skin. I could see her knees barely emerging, like islands inviting shipwreck. Beneath the surface, under the excuse of the steam, she let one foot slowly glide up my calf, along the inner thigh, until it brushed over my already hard cock above my trunks. She pressed it with the arch of her foot, unhurriedly, measuring my breathing, and I bit my lip to keep from groaning. She smiled. Then she withdrew her foot with the same calm with which she’d placed it there, like someone blowing out a candle just to watch the smoke.

—Not yet —she murmured—. When I do it, I want there to be no water in the way. I want to see you all over.

We didn’t do anything else. But I swear it was more erotic than many beds I’ve shared. In the end, she went back to her room and left a void full of desire hanging in the air.

The tension grew. In the hotel bar we played at ignoring each other. She chatted with other guests. I approached other women. But it was pure strategy: we never lost sight of each other. There were nights when we didn’t even greet one another. And others, like that one when they played salsa, when the body said what the mouth kept quiet.

The music sounded hot. She offered me her hand without a word. I took it without question. We danced. Her hip collided with mine. Her thigh slid between my legs in an ancient rhythm, as if she knew every step before taking it. I could feel her cunt pressed against the bulge in my pants, rubbing lightly, with an obscene precision disguised as choreography.

—You have no idea what you’re doing —she whispered to me.

—I’m learning. But I’ve got a good ear. And an even better memory.

—We’ll see if you’ve got a good tongue too. Because I’m going to make you lick my cunt until your jaws shake.

She walked away after saying it and left me with my pulse racing and my cock hard beneath the fabric. Later, after too many drinks, we sat in the hotel’s inner courtyard, where the jasmine perfumed everything and the silence was a promise.

—What are you looking for in a solo vacation? —she asked, without preamble.

—Nothing. Or maybe something I don’t know I need.

—And if you find it?

—Are you it?

Elena held my gaze, serious for the first time.

—I could be. But I like to play first. To see if you’re really hungry or just bored.

I leaned toward her. Our mouths almost touched. But I didn’t kiss her.

—You’re dangerous —I said—. Don’t forget it.

***

The next night was different. The atmosphere was charged. We’d been avoiding each other all day. No looks, no greetings. And then, in the bar, she appeared in a backless black dress and impossible heels. She looked as if she’d stepped out of another time.

—Want me to tell you a secret? —she said, leaning toward my ear.

—Tell me.

—You know what the most forbidden place in this hotel is? The rooftop lookout. Closed “for maintenance.” A shame. It has the best sea view. And perfect acoustics for certain sounds.

She dropped it as if she were talking about the weather. Then she walked away. But before going up the stairs, she shot me a quick glance. The only explicit invitation in all those days.

I waited a few minutes. Not out of dignity, but out of pure desire to prolong the agony. Then I went up.

I found her in the lookout, with her back to me, the dress clinging to her body in the sea breeze. She was smoking with the elegance of someone who’s lived many lives. I approached.

—You took your time —she whispered.

—I’m not one to run. Unless it’s worth it.

She flicked the cigarette over the balustrade, turned my face with one hand, slowly, and kissed me with a fury she’d been holding back for days. My tongue plunged into her mouth as if looking for answers. Her teeth bit my lower lip until she dragged a groan out of me, and she laughed softly against my mouth. My hands roamed her body hungrily, I squeezed her tits over the dress, felt the nipples already hard against the fabric, and slid my hand to the edge of her thigh. I yanked her dress up in one motion. Underneath, she had nothing on. Nothing. Just hot skin and trimmed hair, and a wetness soaking the air.

—Touch me —she panted—. Check how wet I’ve had you for days.

I sank my fingers between her parted lips and found her cunt soaked, throbbing. She let out a rough moan when two fingers went in all the way, and dug her nails into the back of my neck. I finger-fucked her there, against the wall of the lookout, while my thumb worked her clit in slow circles. Elena moved her hips against my hand, searching for me, panting obscenities in my ear.

—Yeah… like that, you bastard… one more finger… fill me…

I slid in three. I pulled them out shining, ran them over her lips, and she sucked them like a cock, looking me in the eyes, her tongue curling around them with calculated slowness.

—You taste like me —I told her, voice broken—. Look how hard you get me.

I knelt her in front of me without saying more. She opened my pants with nimble hands, pulled out my cock, and stared at it for a second, like a promise. Then she took me all the way to the base in one go, breathing through her nose while her throat contracted around my glans. She pulled off slowly, a thread of saliva hanging from her mouth, and looked up at me from below.

—I’ve spent days imagining how you’d taste —she whispered—. And you taste even better.

She took me back into her mouth, this time hungry, without pausing. Her tongue danced under the glans, her hands squeezed my balls and shaft, and I had to grip the railing not to collapse. I put a hand on the back of her head and pushed a little, nervously. She moaned and sped up, fucking my cock with her mouth, while tears from the effort ran through her mascara and she didn’t give a damn.

—Stop —I begged—. Stop or I’m going to come now.

She pulled my cock out of her mouth with a wet kiss on the tip and got to her feet, laughing hoarsely. She turned around, braced her hands on the stone balustrade, arched her back, and lifted her dress up to her waist on her own. Her ass, round and tanned, glowed in the moonlight. She spread her legs.

—Now fuck me —she ordered—. Fuck me hard. Let them see us, let them hear us. But don’t stop.

I guided myself with my hand and drove into her with one thrust. Her cunt felt so tight and so hot I almost shouted. Elena did scream, with no shame at all, and the sea roared below, throwing our echo back at us. I started fucking her with rage, gripping her hips, watching my cock come in and out slick with her juices. Every thrust made her ass smack against my pubic bone with a wet snap that filled the rooftop.

—Yeah… like that… deeper, you bastard… break me… —she panted, pressing her fingers into the stone.

I yanked her hair back with one hand and bit her shoulder. With the other I found her clit and started rubbing it while I kept driving into her. Her cunt began clamping down around my cock, short, furious contractions, and her voice broke into a long moan.

—I’m coming… I’m coming… don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t sto…

She came with a shudder that ran through her whole body, her cunt gushing around my cock, so wet I felt the liquid sliding down over my balls. I held on for two, three more thrusts and pulled out. I turned her, set her against the balustrade again, and jerked off quickly, inches from her face. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, looking at me with half-lidded eyes.

—Come on me, Adrián. All of it. In my mouth, on my tits, wherever you want.

I sent the first spurts over her tongue, the second down her chin, the rest between the breasts she’d bared herself from the dress. Hot semen sliding over her tanned skin, shining under the moonlight. She ran two fingers through her cleavage, scooped it up, and brought them to her mouth, staring at me.

—Delicious —she murmured.

We were on the edge of everything: the balustrade, exhaustion, mistake. And nothing mattered. Only her skin, her scent, her teeth marked into my neck.

When we were done, her breathing was a soft storm. She stood up, wiped herself with a cloth handkerchief as if touching up her makeup, adjusted her dress without hurry, and, as she walked away, said to me:

—And tomorrow at breakfast, don’t even think about talking to me.

—You don’t want to look like an easy woman?

She turned for a second, the crooked smile still on her wet lips.

—No, sweetheart. I want you dying to have me again.

***

The next morning was almost unbearable.

Breakfast was served as every day, on the terrace overlooking the garden, with the murmur of the sea in the distance. The same tables, the same fruit, the same sleepy tourists. And yet, everything was different. My body was still burning.

I sat with my plate and my coffee as if I weren’t searching for her with my eyes. And there she was: perfect, elegant, in a flowing white dress, dark glasses, and that aura of a woman who’s had a night you don’t forget. She pretended not to see me.

But when I passed by her table to get more juice, without looking at her, she said in a low voice:

—You’ve got marks on your neck. You should be more careful with wild beasts.

I didn’t stop. I smiled to myself. That breakfast was a silent game of looks and gestures. Her legs crossed, showing a little more thigh than necessary. Her tongue catching the spoon. Every movement was loaded, and I licked my lips at every second.

When she got up, she winked at me as she passed and whispered:

—I’m going to the beach. Today I feel free.

I found her an hour later, lying on her back, alone, in the most secluded part of the sand, where the beachgoers had dwindled to a few curious onlookers. The sarong wrapped around her hips, her skin shining in the sun. My steps sank into the sand, but she didn’t move. She knew I was coming.

—Do you want to put sunscreen on me? —she said without opening her eyes—. Or did you just come to eat me up with your eyes?

—I can do both —I replied, sitting beside her—. Though if you keep this up, I’m going to have trouble getting up from the towel.

She laughed. Then slowly turned toward me and looked at me with that mix of hunger and control I already knew.

—And you? —she said—. Is there any part of your body that needs special attention?

—Depends on what you mean by attention.

—Depends on whether you came to play. Or to give in again.

We didn’t say anything else. We stayed there a while in silence, with the sea as our only witness. I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood up and held out my hand.

—Come on.

She didn’t ask where. She covered up, only as a formality, and we walked together back to the hotel.

***

I closed my room door. There was no conversation. There was no need.

Elena got rid of the sarong with one hand and the bikini with the other, no choreography, no performance, with the naturalness of someone who doesn’t need to seduce because she already has you. She let herself fall onto the bed, naked, and spread her legs, looking at me like someone inviting you to a feast.

—Do you still want me, Adrián? —she said, her voice deep and broken.

—You have no idea how much.

I knelt at the foot of the bed and grabbed her ankles. I dragged her to the edge, set her legs over my shoulders, and buried my face between her thighs without preamble. I licked her from bottom to top with a flat tongue, slowly, tasting the salt from the sea still on her skin and the thick juice already soaking her. She screamed and grabbed my hair with both hands.

—God, yes… there… eat that cunt, you bastard… —she panted.

I opened her lips with my fingers and sucked her clit with my whole mouth, tugging it with short pulls. Her hips lifted on their own, seeking my face. I slipped in two fingers, curling them upward while my tongue gave her no respite. Her cunt clenched around my fingers like a mouth, dripping, and Elena started moaning louder and louder, not caring if the walls were thin.

—Don’t stop, don’t stop… you’re driving me crazy… fuck… just like that…

I buried my tongue inside, fluttering it, while my thumb kept working her clit. I felt the first tremor run through her thighs. Elena arched her back until only her shoulder blades touched the bed, screamed something wordless, and came in my mouth, shoving my face into her cunt until I couldn’t breathe. I swallowed everything she gave me, without letting her go, and kept licking her slowly, prolonging her orgasm until she collapsed, trembling, her skin covered in sweat.

—Come here… now it’s your turn… —she panted, eyes glassy.

I got onto the bed and she laid me on my back. She knelt beside me, took my cock in both hands, and looked at it as you look at something you want to devour. She sucked me from the base to the tip, with her tongue wide and flat, and then took me all the way into her mouth. I felt the back of her throat contract around my glans and thought I was going to die.

—You get me so fucking hot… I want you inside now… no mercy… —she whispered, pulling me out for a second to speak and then taking me back in her mouth.

I lifted her gently by the hair and sat her on top of me, astride. She guided my cock with her hand, rubbed it over the lips of her soaked cunt, set it at the entrance, and dropped down all the way in one shot. We both moaned at the same time. She started riding me slowly, with her hands on my chest, looking at me as she fucked herself with my cock.

—Look how much you’ve got me… look how it goes in… —she panted, looking down, watching my cock disappear inside her and come back out shining.

I grabbed her tits with both hands, squeezed them, pinched her nipples until she cried out. She sped up. Her hips slammed against mine with a wet, obscene snap, and the smell of sex filled the entire room.

—Yeah… like that… more… until I don’t even know my own name…

I grabbed her by the waist, turned her without pulling out, and she ended up beneath me. I put her legs over my shoulders, folding her, and started hammering into her from above, with my whole cock going all the way in with every thrust. Elena screamed, begged for more, dug her nails into my back until she drew blood.

—Fuck me like a whore, Adrián… harder… break me… don’t stop…

I changed the angle, braced one hand on the headboard for more leverage, and gave it to her harder. Every thrust was a lash. Her tits bounced with the impact, sweat ran between them, her mouth was open, her eyes rolled back.

—I want her from behind —I panted—. Turn around.

She got on all fours immediately, ass up and face pressed into the pillow. I grabbed her by the waist and shoved back into her to the hilt. From that angle she felt even tighter. I slapped her ass and she moaned, asking for another. I gave her two more, leaving red marks, while I kept thrusting.

—Yeah… like that… I’m your slut this afternoon… yours… give it all to me…

I slid my arm under her body and found her clit again. I started rubbing it while I kept fucking her from behind, and she came apart. Her cunt began clamping around my cock in spasms, and I knew she was close.

—I’m coming… fuck… I’m coming again… —she trembled, and came with a long, broken moan, soaking my thighs.

I couldn’t hold on any longer. I lasted a few more thrusts and felt I was about to explode.

—I’m… where…?

—Inside —she panted—. Come inside me. I want to feel you.

I drove in to the hilt one last time and came inside her in long waves, gripping her waist with both hands. I felt every pulse of my cock emptying into her, while she moaned low, savoring it, tightening her muscles around me so nothing would escape. We stayed like that for a while, me still inside, her forehead against the pillow, both of us trembling and gasping.

I pulled out slowly, and a thread of semen and her juices slid down her thigh. I lay down beside her. She let herself fall back, sweaty, hair stuck to her face, and reached for my hand. We fell asleep without realizing it, tangled together, wordless.

***

When I woke up, she was gone.

All that remained was the smell of her skin in the sheets, a lipstick mark on the pillow, and a note folded on the bedside table.

“What burned here does not happen twice. Thank you for lighting me up. E.”

I never saw her again. I didn’t look for her. There was no need.

Some stories are made only of skin, desire, and fire. And when they go out, the smoke is memory enough.
