I finished a late dinner in the hotel restaurant but didn’t want to call it a night just yet. There were places in Bangkok that I knew would be entertaining but I neither wanted to battle the traffic nor the oppressive heat outside. I decided to check out the nightclub on the hotel’s top floor. All things considered, if I found it to be a typical business hotel population, mostly men, I would retire to my room and my book.
As I got off the elevator, there was a palpable thud of bass music coming from the club down the hall. There was a five-person band hammering out 1960s rock and roll. I discovered they were from Taiwan and quite frankly weren’t that bad, but very loud. The female vocalist had a 60’s sultry voice that was appealing on several levels.
The room was three-quarters full, an even smattering of Thai men and women along with the usual collection of foreigners. I found a place at the bar and ordered a drink, preparing to do a bit of social reconnaissance. As I watched the various people dancing my eye caught sight of a table with three women, one of which was staring intently at me. While I would not be considered shy, I have never been especially capable of sustaining bar chatter with a total stranger. Hotels in Bangkok are notorious for an inordinate amount of prostitutes frequenting their bars and clubs thus I projected an air of indifference when female interest occurred.
After my second drink, I began to relax. My gaze wandered back to the table of three women, finding they were now paying attention to people dancing and not so much to me. The woman who had paid the most overt attention to me was not only elegantly dressed but was extraordinarily beautiful. Her black hair had a sheen that glistened in the stage lights, and her stylish clothes clung tightly to her compact body. Her two companions got up to dance with one another and left her sitting alone. The music slowed to a soft ballad, and it was then I decided I would ask her to dance.
As I approached her table, she looked up and smiled. I started to ask her to dance, and she simply stood saying, “Yes”, before a word left my lips. We moved to the center of the dance floor as she lifted both arms and draped them around my shoulders, her body firmly pressed against me. Chilled by the AC in the club her hard nipples pressed against my chest as she leaned into me her hips softly rotated on mine.
My arousal was obvious as my stiffening shaft met her slow undulations. I attempted to move back, but a hand pressed on my back pushed me forward. The dance ended and I started to walk her back to her table only to be steered to the bar where she spoke in Thai to the bartender handing over a collection of currency to him then turning to me and saying,” Come let’s go.” In spite of my usual reticence, I followed without hesitation.
At the elevator, she turned to me staring intently into my eyes and said,” I am not a prostitute! I find you irresistible and when I decide on something it is done. My two cousins are capable of taking care of themselves so we are free to do as we wish.”. Stepping into the elevator she pulled my face to hers kissing me deeply, her scent enveloped me with the most exotic essence as my body responded with unexpected anticipation.
The elevator settled softly at the lobby level; the doors whispered open. Taking my arm, she led me to the hotel exit as she spoke Thai to the attendant handing him a few bills. The heat and humidity consumed us like a warm, wet blanket as we stood waiting. A black Mercedes pulled up, and the attendant opened the back door. She slid in and over, pulling me beside her. The chill of the air conditioning negated the outside heat and humidity quickly as we settled back into the luxury of the back seat.
Pulling out into the crawling traffic, the driver adeptly maneuvered the chaotic nightmare that was Bangkok traffic, keeping in a lane that allowed steady progress forward. With a touch of a hidden button, the separation between front and back seats was closed, isolating us from the driver. She turned to me running her hand across my chest, nuzzling my neck nipping it with a combination of soft kisses and light bites.
“What is your name? Who are you?” I mumbled.
“My Thai name is Aruni, but my foreign friends call me Kali. Before you ask, we are going to my house. This is the weekend, so I have made the assumption you can stay the entire weekend and have no other plans.”
“I have no plans, but my clothes…?
“Since my family owns the hotel you are staying in, I have taken the liberty of collecting your clothes and having them delivered to my home.”
The drive took about an hour to reach our initial destination during which time we acquainted ourselves with each other's bodies, touching, caressing, and kissing enjoying the intimacy of introducing ourselves to each other physically. The car pulled into what appeared to be a small private airport. A helicopter sat with its blade churning the air and the passenger door open. Kali pulled me out of the car and we ran bent double to the helicopter door and climbed in. We sat back as Kali handed me a set of headphones. Once secured and belted in, she said we would be flying for about thirty minutes to get to her country home.
The helicopter quickly ascended then reaching altitude drove forward. Obviously a thousand questions crowded my thoughts, mostly why me of all people? Kali curled into my side under my arm as I held her close caressing her as she sighed softy her fingers finding their way into my shirt playing with my pebbled nipple. My questions blurred, and my mind simply accepted what was happening as strange but not unappealing.
I travel extensively around the world to support my business endeavors and have met and entertained a collection of women. In the years working overseas never has there been a woman as exotically beautiful as Kali or as seemingly strong willed., both traits I am finding especially appealing. While events thus far were surreal and difficult to put into a context that had any parallel to my past history I, for some reason, accepted everything at face value albeit with a nagging question in the back of my mind… why?
Leaning back, we gazed at one another, not in a satisfied manner, but acknowledging that I had just begun the preliminaries of what promised to be an adventure. At that moment, the sound of the helicopter’s engine diminished as we began to descend. As we vectored to the landing pad, I could see a huge house surrounded by tropical jungle…her “country home” was obviously not a quaint cottage.
Escaping the whirlwind caused by the helicopter blade, we arrived at a massive double set of doors intricately carved with scenes that might be Asian festivities, one held open by a pajama-clad servant. As we entered the house it revealed an enormous, gilded entryway which immediately dispelled any thoughts of coziness and replaced them with palace-like perceptions. I had been in unique, even some spectacular homes before, but this exceeded almost anything I had seen.
