I swung open the door and there she was—a woman decked out in a white suit and matching pants, carrying a white handbag.
In just ten minutes, Jane had not only snagged some birth control pills but also managed to put on flawless makeup.
I was instantly stunned and just stood there while staring at her, unable to say anything."Hey, is this Ms. Price's room?" Jane's voice was cool and clear, totally different from the muffled voice on the phone.
"Catherine, right?"
"Yep."
"That's her room. Did you get everything?" I scanned her up and down but didn't spot the pills or even a handbag.
"Yeah, Ms. Price's private life is a media magnet, so we gotta keep stuff like this on the downlow." Jane pulled out a small pill box from her bag. "Just take one, don't overdo it. Too many can be harmful."
"Got it." I took the pills from her. "Need anything else? If not, I'll shut the door."
"Nope, all good. Have a good night."
I nodded and closed the door.
By then, Catherine had made the bed and handed me a bottle of water from the nightstand.
"Open it," she said.
I set down the pill box, grabbed the water bottle, and twisted the cap off.
Catherine picked up the pill box, took out a pill, and placed it in her palm.
Seeing she was about to take another, I quickly stopped her, "One's enough. Too many aren't good for you."
"Okay, got it." She nodded, popped the pill in her mouth, took the water bottle from me, and swallowed it down.
"Alright, all done. Let's get some sleep. I'm beat." Catherine closed the water bottle, set it back on the nightstand, and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I lifted her, got into bed, slid under the covers, and pulled the blanket over us. "Alright, let's sleep now, good night."
Catherine didn't say anything, just buried her face in my neck. Soon, I heard her steady breathing.
She was out cold, her chest rising and falling against mine, feeling like a soft sponge.
Before long, I drifted off too, holding her close.
I woke up to my phone ringing.
Groggily, I fumbled around the bedside, finally finding my phone under the pillow. Squinting at the bright screen, I saw it was Mia calling.
Catherine stirred from the noise, opened her eyes for a second, then rolled over, mumbling, "Who is it? Answer it, I'm so sleepy."
"I'll take it in the bathroom," I whispered, gently lifting the blanket and slipping out of bed, then went to the bathroom with my phone.
"Hey, Mia, what's up?" I said softly, covering my mouth with one hand to keep my voice down.
"What's up? Where'd you go? We were supposed to have some fun this morning," Mia's voice sounded a bit frantic. It seemed like she had been searching for me for a long while.
"I just stepped out to grab something. I'll be back soon, don't worry."
"Hurry up! I've got a meeting at the office later, so we don't have much time," Mia said.
"Got it, I'll be back in a flash." I hung up and glanced at the clock—it was just after seven.
If I headed back now, it'd take about twenty minutes, and we'd still have some time together.
I went back to the room, changed into pajamas and shorts, and grabbed the condoms I bought last night.
Just as I was about to leave, I noticed Catherine's phone light up with a message. It made me pause.
Remembering last night when Catherine called Jane, I recalled the simple six-digit password she used.
I picked up Catherine's phone and entered the password. It unlocked. I opened her contacts and saved my number with my name as a note. After doing this, I quietly left the hotel with the condom in hand.
Downstairs, I hailed a taxi to Mia's place. On the way, I spotted a new pharmacy, so I had the driver stop. I dashed in, bought two boxes of birth control pills, and then headed to Mia's house.
Mia had just finished showering and was drying her hair with a towel when I walked in.
She saw me with the bags and asked, "What did you get?"
"I went to buy some contraceptives. The stores nearby were closed, so I had to go a bit further."
Mia walked over, peeked into the bags, and saw the condom boxes. Her cheeks turned pink, and she gave me a shy look.
"You bought so many. Think you can use them all?"
"Of course! With my stamina, I can do it multiple times, and we can definitely use them all."
Each box had about ten condoms, which matched my usual frequency. Honestly, ten might not even be enough.
"Wow, you're something else. Let's save those for later. Breakfast is ready. Let's eat quickly and then have some fun."
"Sounds good." I nodded, set the bags on the sofa, and headed to the dining table. Breakfast was the same as yesterday.
I sat down, took a few bites, and felt pretty full. I finished with some milk and stopped eating.
Mia was already in the kitchen washing dishes. I brought my plate over to help.
She was wearing a white nightgown, and her wet hair had soaked the fabric on her back and chest, revealing her graceful figure and full breasts.
