THE TRAP

 

The laws have been lifted. As the pandemic has been eradicated, people are free to do whatever their hearts content.

It had been years since hopping on a plane and enjoying the beauties of life and nature was possible. She packed her bags and headed to Greece, a place that had always been on her list of things to do and places to visit before you die. Excitement could finally be seen on her face for a mask did not need to be worn any longer, nonetheless, she had learned to read people´s expressions through their eyes. As they say: the eyes are the door to the soul.

Arriving there it was a dream come true;  sceneries , crystal clear water, picturesque islands, beautiful people dressed in white so that their tans stand out, and most had relaxed complexions. Her anxiety built as she reached the hotel where she would be spending these glory days.

Although she could not speak Greek, she managed to befriend a family from her own country who had moved there several years ago. However, being foreigners, they never had the chance to buy a house, so they just ended up buying a hotel room. It makes sense to do so - there is always someone to tidy up your room and meals are prepared for you.

During one of the parties at a nearby hotel, she felt alone and abandoned because she couldn't find her way around.  Despite having been there for a few weeks, she had not met anyone she could befriend. The party was not too exciting, so she decided to look for the family and hitch a ride back to the hotel. Sadly, there was no room in their car but, nonetheless, being resourceful, kind and helpful, they managed to find her an Uber driver who spoke her language.

Sparks flew as the stranger spoke to her and demonstrated some kind gestures such as gently touching her arm; touching her hand she had never been in a situation like this for her this was totally new. How could she be falling for a stranger who she knew nothing about his background? Could it have been since during the pandemic she had kept herself away from everyone- family included? The desire to be touched and hugged was bursting at the seams.

When he stopped the car in front of the hotel, he leaned forward and said with those tender lips that there was no charge because her presence and company were priceless. She automatically leaned forward as if he were a magnet drawing her towards him. She couldn´t resist the temptation, she needed to taste those luscious lips and kissed him. She had never done this before and always waited to be kissed. A whole new door was opening right before her eyes. She was the one that wanted much more from this man. She was hungry for love; she was hungry to be loved; to make love- simply have sex.

Her body burned with desire. Breaking her moral rules imposed on her through her religious upbringing, she invited him up to her room. They couldn´t hold out and sparks were flying in the elevator as it reached the floor where her room was situated. It felt so right. What could go wrong?

When they passionately hugging and kissing entered to room, they were surprised with another couple in her room. The Uber driver spoke to the couple, angrily and frustrated, as if he knew them. The couple angrily left the room but “Zeus”, as she had nicknamed him in her mind, looked even more scrumptiously delicious.  Was it a trap? All she wanted was sex.

Dizziness took over, she stumbled to bed, a feeling off torture and pleasure took over. She had fallen in this trap but overtaken by a wave of pleasure.
