First meeting in the darkroom

'Alright, where do we meet?" asked Duke.

'I just arrived in New York. I'll be busy in three days. Let's meet on Saturday, how about that? You prepare the place, a dark place where we can't see each other,' said Thea.

Duke found this woman named Thea's wish very strange. But Duke just obeyed her and became more curious about this woman's figure.

'Alright, do you trust me?' asked Duke.

'I don't know,' Thea replied.

'Why are you doing this? Is it just for sex?' asked Duke.

'Yes, I don't want a lover. But I still want to have sex and I don't want a relationship that involves peraaaab. Oh yeah, I'm a virgin, are you still willing?' asked Thea plainly.

"I think this woman is really crazy," Duke muttered again.

'Do I have to pay you?' Duke asked in his text message.

'I'm not a call girl, let's just say we need this together. I want to have safe sex. Are you healthy?' Thea wrote

'Of course I am. Do you need my health certificate from the doctor?' Duke replied.

'No, I don't want to complicate this. I trust you,' Thea replied.

'Alright, I'll send you the location later,' said Duke.

'Okay,' Thea replied casually.

"How was it?" asked Alex.

"It's this easy and I can't believe this kind of thing can be done openly with the help of a legal app," replied Duke with a surprised smile.

"It's going to be a fun experience, Duke, trust me," Alex said again.

"She's still a virgin," Duke said.

"What? You really hit the jackpot, Duke. My choice wasn't wrong," Alex said laughing happily.

Thea put down her cell phone. She had just had a chat with a guy she knew from the dating app Alice had downloaded on her phone yesterday.

Thea was already sure she was going to do this. She didn't hypocritically want to have this short romance with a guy.

After all, Thea was a normal adult woman who also needed a place to release her desires.

Thea had no experience at all about making love or even kissing. She only watched a few adult movies which became her reference for doing the lovemaking scene later.

Thea looked at her own face in the mirror. Thea felt that her life was now perfect.

Having a good job and a good working environment made her very grateful. Given Thea's deprived and rather tragic life background.

Her mother committed suicide because her father had an affair. And her father was depressed after realizing his mistake. Before long, her father died of heart disease due to his depression.

Her great sense of optimism made Thea excel in all fields and lessons. And many envied Thea's intelligence and ability to always succeed in any task and job.

But they didn't know how lonely Thea was. How the tragic events of her parents traumatized her deeply.

Today Thea finished her seminar smoothly. Thea also took her time to go to a beauty salon for body care. Thea is a woman who likes cleanliness.

Her life is organized and neat. And she wants to always be able to maintain it like this. She doesn't want her life to be a mess like her parents.

Her slim and beautiful stature made Thea favored by many men. But Thea never responded at all. Her brownish hair and perfect face that sometimes seemed sensual made her always the center of male attention.

Thea was very cold to all men. According to her, all men are the same. Prefer to look at his physique only.

Tomorrow is the day when Tuea will meet Duke. Thea was still confident in her choice. She wanted to have this short romance with a strange man.

Duke actually almost forgot about his speed dating schedule with Thea. But Thea sent him a message later in the evening.

Duke read the message from Thea.

'Share the location tonight. Beaok I can't, so let's just do it tonight,' Thea wrote via text message on his cell phone.

Duke was actually tired from a very busy day at the company, but somehow he couldn't ignore Thea's message.

'Alright, in an hour I'll share the location with you,' Duke wrote.

Thea had moved her date forward because tomorrow she had to attend a dinner for university representatives.

Thea was ready to go. She was just waiting for a message from Duke.

Thea was no fool, so she had installed a safety app on her phone in case something went wrong.

An hour passed, Duke finally sent Thea his location. It was at a well-known luxury hotel on fifth avenue.

"Is he a rich old man? But in his profile he's only 30 years old. Is he married or a widower?" muttered Thea thoughtfully.

And soon Thea headed straight to the hotel in a taxi. Thea was wearing a short knee-length dress and a thick brown coat.

Arriving at the lobby, Thea went straight to the room. The sound of her high heels could be heard in the quiet hotel lobby. Until finally she entered the elevator and pressed the button.

Duke opened the door to the room and there was only darkness there. All the curtains were tightly closed and none of the lights were on.

Duke really did all the conditions that Thea asked for. Duke also did not lock the door to his room so that Thea could immediately enter.

Then a few minutes later Thea entered the room that Duke had booked and locked the door.

"Are you here?" asked a heavy voice that sounded sexy in Thea's ears.

"Hmm... I'm Thea. That's all you need to know," said Thea who put her bag on the floor.

"Can I know why you're doing this?" asked Thea.

"I don't want to be in any relationship, I don't want to get to know you and vice versa," Thea replied firmly.

"Interesting, but you don't know who I am. What if I'm just an ugly old man?" asked Duke.

"What if I'm an ugly old maid?" Thea asked back.

Duke laughed crisply and made Thea's blood bite her lip.

Duke stood up and walked over to Thea. Thea could only see the shadow of Duke's tall body and faint face in front of her.

Duke was used to being in this situation, so this made him relaxed and casual.

Unlike Thea who was a little nervous because it was her first time. Even crazier, she was doing it with a strange man.

"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Duke asked once again and began to touch Thea's smooth cheek with his finger.

"Yes," Thea replied as she closed her eyes when Duke started caressing her cheek.

"You're not such an ugly old maid," said Duke laughing softly as he caressed Thea's smooth cheek.

"Are you married or a widower?" asked Thea.

"No, I'm still single," Duke replied.

Duke started to move closer to Thea's body. Thea started to get nervous and her hands broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you nervous?" asked Duke calmly.

"Hmm, it's my first time, so I guess it's normal," Thea replied.

Duke held the nape of Thea's neck and stroked it until it made Thea a little tingly and goosebumpy.

"Shall we get started or would you like to chat first?" Duke whispered in Thea's ear.

"I don't want to chat," Thea replied softly.

Then very slowly, Duke kissed Thea's forehead, eyes, nose, then lips.

Thea's chest was pounding. This was the first touch she had ever gotten from a man.

Duke kissed her slowly and gently. His hands pressed Thea's waist so that it was more attached to his body.

Then Duke released his kiss with his lips still attached to Thea's lips.

Thea's breathing went up and down trying to keep up with Duke's kiss.

"Is this your first kiss?" Duke asked softly.

"Yes," Thea replied very softly.

"I guess I'm a lucky guy. I get everything first from you," Duke whispered with his lips still pressed against Thea's.

Thea saw the shadow of Bryan's face in the darkness, although she couldn't see his face clearly.

Duke started to open Thea's coat. And then lifted her skirt up very slowly.

Then his hands groped Thea's body which made Thea hold her breath and bite her lip.
