My hand goes between my legs, my skirt falling open as I find my throbbing clit. Biting my lip, I hold back my cries of ecstasy as I bring myself to the brink of pleasure.
It’s a quick and easy orgasm, carrying the feeling from downstairs with me as I come. Not just the vision of what they were doing but how it felt to watch them. To suddenly be so in tune with my own body as if I have unlocked its secret code.
When the climax peaks, I moan loudly, my back writhing on the table.
And when I come down, I don’t feel that sweeping shame I sometimes feel when I masturbate. This one feels as natural as breathing.
With a satisfied sigh, I collapse against the table. Feeling renewed and confident, I smile in the dim room where no one can see me.
Then, for some reason, I fish my phone out, eager to share with the one person I spoke to about this.
Amelia: I did it.
Matis: I’m scared to ask.
Matis: Did what?
My chuckle echoes in the dark room. I bite my lip and consider if this makes me out of my mind to want to share this with him.
Amelia: I watched.
Matis: Hopefully they knew you were in the room this time.
I laugh again.
Amelia: It was during masquerade night. I watched a group in a booth.
Matis: And? What did you discover?
Amelia: It was incredible. Why haven’t I tried this before? For once, I wasn’t all up in my head. I wasn’t thinking about anything except for how it made me feel. I loved it.
Matis: I’m happy for you, Trouble.
Matis: Where are you now? Are you alone in the club?
Amelia: I’m in my office.
Matis: At this time of night?
Shit. How do I explain this?
Amelia: I just came up here for some peace and quiet.
Matis: Oh.
Amelia: I’m serious! Just peace and quiet.
I let out a scream as his text comes through.
Matis: Everyone masturbates, Amelia.
Amelia: This conversation is over!
Matis: Why? Because I said masturbate?
Amelia: Good night, Matis!
Matis: No Métro, Trouble. Call Lucien to take you home.
