She was in Glasgow for the annual Energy conference at the city's SEC, but she'd factored in time for herself there after her work commitments were done.

Eira was a confident woman and happily married, a fact she never took for granted, but she'd always been bisexual, and the pull of another woman was a temptation she never fully surrendered.

When her office asked her about accommodation, she’d requested they book her into the Grand Central Hotel, a Category A listed building from 1883.

The iconic hotel had long been a hub for celebrities, and the picture gallery there displayed a host of famous faces ranging from John F. Kennedy to Laurel and Hardy, Roy Rogers to The Beatles.

It was famous too for being the location where John Logie Baird transmitted the world's first long-distance television pictures in 1927, but it was her hotel of choice because she knew the city well and loved its central location with shopping and restaurants all within easy walking distance.

She checked in on Tuesday afternoon and planned nothing more than a relaxing evening in preparation for the next couple of days.

The conference passed much as expected; she took a taxi to and from the venue each day, followed by an evening restaurant visit for dinner and then later, a few hours work in the privacy of her room.

Friday morning after breakfast, she was going over the quarterly projections she'd present on Monday when she decided enough was enough.

She needed to get her mind away from work, so she decided to head out for a walk and some shopping.

With all the time in the world, she ambled along at a relaxed pace, enjoying the mild temperature of a pleasant day, and slowly but surely the business side of her brain eventually clicked off.

Whenever she was on her travels, be it business or pleasure, she had a habit of buying lingerie, and so she wandered into Ann Summers to browse their latest collection.

She ran her fingers over a range of black lace sets that were really very sexy and chose a satin teddy made of delicate mesh that looked scandalous enough for a night of passion and elegant enough for a businesswoman with a little wild side.

She stepped into the changing room and locked the door, removed her trousers and blouse, and stood there in nothing more than her panties.

She pulled the teddy on, and the moment the mesh hugged her, she exhaled a little.

It was tighter than expected and hugged her curves; the mesh was digging slightly into her skin but in a way that left her feeling naughtily exposed.

She looked in the wall mirror and tilted her head to admire the way the fabric cupped her breasts.

She felt a flush of excitement and a familiar warmth between her legs as she ran her fingers over the material, touching her nipple and teasing it through the hole in the mesh… when a gentle knock on the door interrupted the moment.

She opened it to a young woman whom she guessed to be mid-twenties with short brown hair and light brown eyes.

Her employee name tag said Charlie, and she said, "Sorry" - her voice carrying the Scottish burr that Eira, married to it for thirty-six years, found impossibly attractive.

"Everything okay?" the young woman asked, stepping into the room without waiting for an answer.

She was looking directly at Eira with a stare that was undeniably sexual.

"I'm good," Eira said, her voice steady despite the sudden spike of adrenaline. "I'm just trying this on."

"Does it fit okay?" Charlie asked, stepping closer.

She didn't wait for an answer; she reached out and let her fingers graze the lace of the teddy near Eira's waist.

"The mesh looks a wee bit tight, but in a nice way."

Eira felt the electricity travel from her neck to her toes.

"It's … sexy enough, and a certain someone I know will appreciate it," she managed, her voice a little breathless.

Charlie smiled and replied, "Sexy?" and leaned in closer, invading Eira's personal space.

"Aye, I definitely think it looks sexy, or I should say, you look sexy. In fact, I think you might know how to use that quick tongue of yours for more than a confident reply."

The woman's touch lingered; she moved her hand to the back of Eira's neck, and her thumb traced the pulse point.

"I'm Charlie," she said.

"Eira," she replied, her eyes locking onto Charlie's.

"Eira," the woman repeated. "I like it. It’s different."

She stepped even closer and pressed her body against Eira's, and her heat felt like a furnace through the thin mesh.

"I think it fits you perfectly, but would you like me to fetch you a bigger size?"

Eira studied her reflection in the full-length mirror and replied, "No, I think I'm going to take this one."

Charlie replied with, "Good choice." Then continued: "Eira, before you leave, forgive me if I'm being forward but… I believe that I am probably being forward, but … when I see something I like or something I want … oh fuck … sorry sorry sorry, didn't mean to swear, but … I believe in taking a chance."

"I hope you don't get offended but … can I take you somewhere cosy where we can talk about how much fun you might be?"

Eira felt a thrill run through her; the professional mask she wore by day was slipping and being replaced by a raw and unfiltered hunger she kept for times like this.

"Well Charlie, I'm not offended, but I am surprised. I’m only in Glasgow on work-related business, and I fly home to Norway on Sunday."

"Okay, Eira, understood," Charlie said. "But tonight, you're not on business, are you?

Eira looked at Charlie, and the woman's gaze was intense.

She felt a surge of anticipation and a thrill that had everything to do with the beauty standing before her.

"You're right," Eira said, her voice steadying. "I'm no longer on business."

"Good," Charlie said. "Because I'd like to take you to dinner."

Eira blinked, surprised. "Really?"

"Yes," Charlie said, her eyes fixed on Eira's lips. "The Ivy on Buchanan Street - do you know it? I'll make us a reservation."

She reached out her hand and touched Eira's bare arm, and for a second Eira thought she was going to kiss her. "Tonight. Eight o'clock."

Eira felt a flutter in her chest, a mixture of nerves and excitement.

"I know the restaurant. It's only a short distance from my hotel, so yes, I'd like that," she said, "but on one condition only. I insist that I take you there for dinner. I have a business account that covers this. Agreed?"

"If you insist," Charlie said, her smile widening. "Give me your mobile number, and you'll get mine when I text you confirmation of the reservation."

"Be right back," she said and returned after a minute with a pen and a pad of paper, which she handed to Eira.

Eira wrote down her number, mentioning that it needed the +47 code before the actual number.

Charlie took the pad and pen back with a smile, then turned and left the cubicle.

Eira stood for a moment and noticed that her heart was racing. She touched her chest and let her fingers trace the line of the lace.

Then she removed the teddy and dressed.

She took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out carrying the lingerie in her hand.

She stopped by the counter and selected three different pairs of hold-up stockings from the collection on display, then handed both the teddy and the stockings over and reached in her bag for her card.

Charlie was waiting near the counter, watching her. When Eira had paid and taken the bag, Charlie reached out and squeezed her hand, letting her fingers linger and giving her an intimate squeeze before she let go.

"Don't be late," she said.

Later that afternoon a message pinged to Eira's mobile from an unknown number confirming The Ivy booking and smiling, she read then deleted it.

She left her hotel ten minutes before the booking time and leisurely strolled the five minutes it took to reach the restaurant.

Opening the door, she walked inside and informed the smiling young woman at the desk that she was meeting a friend and they had a reservation for eight o'clock.

Then she saw Charlie sitting at the bar no more than a few metres away.

Charlie came over carrying a glass of wine and said, "She's with me. Booking for Innes, eight o'clock, table for two."

The young woman asked them both to follow her and led them upstairs to their table, conveniently situated in a corner away from other guests.

Eira wore a black silk dress that hugged her curves and matched the lingerie beneath it.

Charlie looked stunning, dressed in a dark blue fitted dress that hugged her in all the right places.

Her short hair was spiked in a boyish-looking style that accentuated her fine cheekbones and the long, graceful line of her neck.

A few minutes after they were seated, a waitress arrived with menus and took their drink order. Charlie said the Australian Shiraz she was drinking was lovely, so Eira asked for a bottle to be brought to the table.

"Order whatever you like," Eira said. "I hope you're hungry."

"I am," Charlie replied. "I'm very hungry."

Charlie's eyes never left Eira's face. She reached out, placed her hand on her knee, and gave it a gentle squeeze. "The menu here is nice, but I have something else in mind for dessert."

Eira felt the heat travel through her. She knew what Charlie meant, and the thought sent a shiver down her spine.

"I'm ready for whatever you have in mind," she replied, her voice barely a whisper.

"Good," Charlie said. The waitress returned and took their food order, and when it arrived, they ate in comfortable silence, broken only by the clinking of cutlery and the murmur of other diners.

They chatted about Glasgow and Stavanger and found common ground in their shared love of art and travel.

But through it all, the sexual tension grew, a heavy atmosphere hard to ignore.

When the main course was cleared, Charlie reached under the table, and Eira felt her fingers caress her leg with an intimate touch that she liked.

As lovely as the Shiraz was, the real intoxication was Charlie's hand on her knee under the table, sliding higher until it rested against the bare skin of her thigh above the stocking top.

"You're trembling," Charlie whispered, her voice hot in Eira's ear. "I can feel it."

"I am not," Eira lied, her voice breathless.

"Yes, you are," Charlie said. "And you're excited."

Eira opened her legs more, and Charlie traced her fingers against her pussy. "You're wet."

Eira gasped, her eyes widening. She looked at Charlie, who was staring at her with a look of pure lust.

"And I can smell the sweet scent of a woman who wants to be fucked; it’s the best perfume in the world."

Eira's breath hitched at being spoken to with such unfiltered honesty; it was intoxicating.

"And you?" Eira challenged, her voice still a whisper. "Are you wearing the same perfume?"

Charlie leaned in closer, and her lips brushed against Eira's ear. "Let's find out," she breathed.

Without breaking eye contact, Charlie slowly withdrew her hand from under the table, and in the dim lighting of the restaurant, Eira watched mesmerised as she brought her fingers to her own lips.

She held Eira's gaze as she deliberately and sensually slid one finger into her mouth, her tongue swirling around the tip, tasting Eira's arousal.

"Mmm," Charlie hummed. "You taste delicious."

The sight was so erotic and publicly intimate that a fresh wave of heat flooded Eira's pussy, making her throb with need.

She felt desired and out of control in the best possible way.

She didn't care about the other diners or the waiting staff; all that mattered in this moment was the space between her and Charlie.

"Now you," Charlie whispered, withdrawing her finger. She reached across the table, her fingers still moist with her own saliva, and traced Eira's lips, and said, "Taste."

Eira's mouth parted instinctively, and she closed her lips around Charlie's finger, tasting the faint taste on Charlie's skin.

It was an act of unadulterated submission and power. She sucked gently, her eyes locked on Charlie's and saw the woman's pupils dilate with predatory hunger.

"Good girl," Charlie murmured, slowly pulling her finger back. She summoned the waitress and asked for the bill, and after Eira settled it, Charlie said, "Let's get out of here, now."

They walked out of the restaurant into the Glasgow night, with the sudden chill a stark contrast to the heat between them.

The walk to the hotel was a blur of lights and sounds.

Eira, for the first time in years, felt a flutter of nerves because this was her territory, but Charlie had taken control.

Charlie pushed her against the heavy double doors of the hotel entrance, and her body pinned Eira's.

"I've been thinking about you since I saw you in the changing room," she growled, her lips crashing down on Eira's in a hungry kiss.

It was a kiss of possession, and Eira met it with equal ferocity, her hands grasping the back of Charlie's head, pulling her closer.

They walked through the lobby, and Eira led the way to the lift. As soon as the doors slid shut, Charlie was on her again, pushing her against the mirrored wall as her hands roamed over her body, squeezing her ass and grinding her hips against her.

"I’m looking forward to seeing it," Charlie said. "The black lingerie. I want to see it on you".

The lift dinged, and the doors opened onto the corridor leading to the suite. Eira practically dragged Charlie to her door, her own desire now burning.

The lock clicked open, and they stumbled inside with the door slamming shut behind them.

The suite was luxurious with a view of the city below, but neither of them cared. Charlie spun Eira around, her eyes dark and intense.

"Strip for me," she commanded. "Slowly."

Eira, the experienced boss and confident negotiator, felt a thrill course through her as she obeyed.

She reached behind her and slowly pulled the zipper of her dress down. The fabric whispered as it fell at her feet, leaving her standing in the black teddy and stockings, her blonde hair contrasting against the dark lace and creamy skin.

Charlie circled her like a shark, her eyes devouring every inch. "Perfect," she breathed.

She stopped in front of Eira and her hands reached out to cup her breasts through the mesh.

Her thumbs found Eira's already hard nipples, rolling and pinching them just enough to send a jolt of pleasure to her core.

Eira gasped, her head falling back. "Charlie…"

"Shhh," Charlie hushed, leaning in to replace her thumb with her mouth. She sucked a hard peak through the mesh, and the rough texture of the lace added an exquisite friction.

Her hands slid down Eira's sides and hooked into the delicate straps of the teddy, and with a single decisive tug … she ripped it.

The ruined lingerie lay open, leaving Eira exposed; Charlie didn't give her a moment to process.

She pushed her back onto the huge bed and fell on top of her, and her mouth found Eira's in another searing kiss.

She kissed her way around Eira's body, her neck, her collarbones, her breasts, her flat stomach, her hips, her thighs, down her legs, and nibbled her toes.

Eira was writhing as her hands gripped the sheets, her body wanting more.

Charlie finally settled between her thighs and looked up at Eira with an intense burning in her eyes.

"I'm gonna make you come so hard you'll forget your own name," she promised, then she lowered her head.

Eira cried out as Charlie's tongue made contact with her pussy. It was no gentle exploration; it was a direct and expert assault.

Charlie licked, sucked, kissed and nibbled with a skill that spoke of experience. She knew exactly how much pressure to apply, when to be soft and when to be firm.

She slid two fingers inside Eira's heat and curled them to find the sensitive spot within.

Eira was lost as the world narrowed to the sensation of Charlie's mouth on her and her fingers inside her.

Pressure built and the pleasure gathered force, threatening to pull her under. Her hips bucked wildly, meeting Charlie's every thrust.

"That's it," Charlie growled. "Come for me."

Eira's orgasm crashed over her, and a strangled cry tore from her throat as her body convulsed and an intense pleasure wracked her frame.

She flooded Charlie's mouth, her juices flowing freely, Charlie’s tongue never ceasing its relentless rhythm until Eira was a spent mess.

Charlie crawled back up her body, her face glistening with Eira's arousal. She kissed her, forcing Eira to taste herself. "Told you," she whispered smugly.

Eira, still breathless, could only nod. She'd come hard … but she wasn't done.

With a surge of energy, she rolled Charlie over, reversing their positions and straddling her, looking down at the beautiful young woman beneath her.

She reached for the hem of Charlie's dress and pulled it up and over her head. Charlie wasn't wearing a bra; her breasts were small and perfect, topped with tight rosy nipples.

Eira leaned down and took one in her mouth, mirroring what Charlie had done to her, sucking hard and grazing it with her teeth.

Charlie gasped as her hands tangled in Eira's blonde hair. "Yes… just like that…"

Eira spent time worshipping Charlie's breasts before moving down, her lips trailing a path over her stomach.

She hooked her fingers into the waistband of Charlie's simple black lace panties then, looked down … and gasped.

She had assumed Charlie was a cis woman, but there was an unmistakable bulge pressing against her thigh.

"Surprise," Charlie whispered, running a hand over the thick shaft.

Eira stared with her mouth open … she had no idea. The revelation that Charlie was a trans woman with a beautiful cock left her momentarily unsure and more than a little confused.

She had always been attracted to women, but the sight of the thick, impressive length was undeniably sexy, so she pulled Charlie's panties down and tossed them aside, then stared at the magnificent sight now fully revealed.

The reality of Charlie's anatomy was far more arousing than Eira expected.

Charlie smiled a smile that made Eira's knees weak, then positioned herself with her back propped on the pillows against the headboard and spread her legs to give Eira an unobstructed view.

"I told you I was hungry," Charlie murmured, reaching out to pull Eira’s head down, but Eira resisted.

"Charlie, I’m attracted to you - as a woman, and that’s why we’re here. I’m drawn to women, their femininity and their bodies. I’m not looking for anything that involves… your cock, to be blunt. That’s a boundary for me, and I want to be clear: when I’m with a woman, I’m with a woman. I don’t want to treat you like a man, and I don’t want you inside me. Can we work with that?"

Charlie held Eira's gaze for a long moment, her expression softening into something tender and understanding. She didn't flinch or pull away; instead, she reached up to brush a strand of hair from Eira's face.

"Of course we can work with that," she said. "I appreciate you telling me straight. Boundaries aren't rejection; they're just... a guide showing me where to go."

She shifted slightly, adjusting against the pillows but keeping her posture open and unhurried.

"I'm a woman, Eira, and what I have between my legs doesn't change that, nor does it obligate you to do anything with it. There are many ways to make a woman feel good that don't involve penetration and honestly..." Her smile turned playful. "I’m hoping you'll let me show you some of them."

Charlie's hand found Eira's, lacing their fingers together. "I'm not asking you to treat me like a man. I'm asking you to touch me like a lover, however that looks for you. If that means your hands or your mouth or your words or whatever, I don't want more than you're willing to give."

She squeezed gently. "Tell me what you do want."

"Change places with me," Eira whispered. "I want to watch you."

Charlie's eyes darkened with understanding and arousal. As Eira settled back against the

pillows with her legs wide open, Charlie knelt between them with her cock standing thick and proud against her stomach.

Eira lay exposed, her hair spilling across the linen and her pussy glistening from Charlie's earlier attentions.

She ran her hand over her breasts, gently down her stomach, and found her clit with her fingertips.

"Masturbate," Eira commanded. "I want to watch you."

Charlie wrapped her hand around her shaft and began to stroke slowly and deliberately, her eyes fixed on Eira's face, then drifting down to where Eira's fingers were circling her clit.

The sight was intoxicating; Charlie kneeling there, masturbating herself while watching Eira do the same.

"You're beautiful," Charlie breathed, her fist moving faster, her thumb swiping over the sensitive head and brushing the pearl of precum that had formed there.

"And you’re a sight for sore eyes," Eira whispered back, her hips rolling slightly as she worked herself, fingers sliding inside while her thumb stayed on her clit.

They locked eyes, the intimacy of the moment profound; two women pleasuring themselves, sharing the space and the building tension.

Charlie's strokes became more urgent. Her free hand reached out and rested on Eira's inner thigh, and her fingernails gently traced patterns on the sensitive skin.

"I'm close," Charlie warned, her voice strained. "Fuck, Eira, I'm so close."

"Then let it go, Charlie," Eira urged, her own orgasm building and coiling tight in her belly. "I want to see it. I want to feel it."

Charlie's body went rigid, her head falling back as a moan tore from her throat.

She aimed her cock downward as the first pulse hit, and Eira watched mesmerised as thick, hot cum erupted from the tip.

The seed splattered across Eira's hand where it worked between her legs, coating her fingers and lubricating her cunt, her belly splashing with Charlie's pleasure.

It was warm and filthy and perfect. Charlie's cum pooling on Eira's skin, mixing with her own arousal.

Charlie kept stroking, milking every drop, her body shuddering with aftershocks until her cock twitched one last time and she sagged forward, catching herself on one hand and breathing hard.

Eira felt the wet heat of Charlie's release on her hand, cunt and stomach, and the sensation pushed her over the edge.

She cried out, her fingers working furiously as her second orgasm crashed through her and her body shook with the force of it.

They stayed like that for a moment, Charlie kneeling between her legs, Eira sprawled against the pillows, both of them panting and connected by the mess they'd made together.

Then Charlie did something unexpected; she lowered her head and began to lick.

She started with Eira's hand, her tongue lapping at the cum coating her fingers, cleaning each digit with slow, deliberate strokes.

She moved to Eira's belly, tracing the splashes there, her tongue warm and insistent as she gathered every drop.

"Charlie," Eira breathed, watching this beautiful young woman taste her own seed from her skin.

Charlie didn't answer; she simply continued her task, working her way down until she reached Eira's cunt, still glistening with a mixture of Eira's arousal and Charlie's cum.

She buried her face there, her tongue licking and cleaning Eira thoroughly. She lapped at the folds and sucked at the clit, drinking down the mingled essence of both of them until Eira was squirming beneath her, sensitive and overstimulated.

When Charlie finally lifted her head, her chin was wet; she crawled up Eira's body and kissed her deeply, letting Eira taste the salty evidence of what she'd done.

They lay like that for a moment, tangled together.

"You know," Charlie said softly, breaking the silence, "I don't usually do this."

Eira looked up, meeting her gaze. "Do what? Bring women back to their hotel rooms?"

"No," Charlie laughed. "I mean, I don't usually feel this… attracted, but there was something about you when I saw you today."

Charlie leaned in and kissed her. "I wish you were staying longer," she murmured against Eira's lips.

"Yeah, could've been nice," Eira replied honestly. "But I fly home on Sunday."

They lay together for a while longer, talking quietly about their lives and things that made them laugh.

It felt surprisingly natural, as if they'd known each other for longer than the reality of their encounter.

Eventually, Charlie sighed. "I should probably let you get some sleep, and I need to call a taxi."

Then she added, "Will I see you again?"

Eira sat herself up. "Charlie, I'll be honest with you," she said. "I genuinely believed you to be the beautiful woman I saw in the shop, and as much as this has been a nice experience, it was a one-time thing."

Charlie's expression softened with understanding. "Aye, I figured as much," she said with a small smile. "I'm not looking to complicate your life, Eira. I just wanted to see if there was a chance for more."

"There isn't," Eira said gently. "But I'm glad we met. And I'm especially glad I got to know … all of you," she added with a meaningful glance at Charlie's body.

Charlie laughed. "Surprised you?"

"You can safely say that," Eira admitted. "But pleasantly so. I've never been with, or wanted to be with anyone other than my husband in that way in all our years together, so I hope you can understand."

"Well, I'm honoured anyway," Charlie said with a smile.

Eira nodded. "My husband knows I'm attracted to women, and he's fine with me exploring that occasionally, but another cock isn't something either of us wants."

"Then I'm glad we met and had this," Charlie said with a smile. "Even if I came with an unexpected attachment."

They dressed in silence, the earlier intensity replaced by a friendly intimacy.

When Charlie was ready, she turned to Eira.

"I should probably get going," she said. "But before I do…"

She walked over to the desk in the room, picked up the pen that lay there, wrote something down on the notepad, then tore off the page, folded it, and handed it to Eira.

"You got my text earlier today, but this is my personal number again in case you ever find yourself back in Glasgow and want to reconnect, maybe want to see a friendly face. No pressure and no expectations."

Eira took the paper and smiled. "Thank you, Charlie. That's kind of you."

Charlie called for a taxi, and Eira accompanied her down to reception.

When the taxi arrived, Charlie paused at the door. "Take care of yourself, Eira, and tell your husband he's a lucky man."

"I will," Eira replied. "You take care too, Charlie, and thank you for tonight."

With one last lingering kiss, Charlie was gone, leaving Eira alone in reception.

She took the lift back to her suite and once inside, walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the hot water run until steam filled the room.

She stripped off and stepped under the spray to let the water run over her skin, washing away the sweat and the stickiness and the traces of Charlie's cum that still lingered in places her tongue hadn't reached.

She stood there for a long time, feeling the water pound against her shoulders with her eyes closed as she replayed the day in her mind - the surprise of Charlie in the changing room, the dinner, the revelation, the feel of Charlie's mouth on her, the sight of Charlie kneeling between her legs, the warmth of her release and the thoroughness of her cleanup.

When she finally stepped out and toweled herself dry, she felt clean and calm and ready for sleep.

She walked to the window and looked out at the city at night, a smile playing on her lips.

Tonight had been unexpected, a brief adventure and a nice memory.

She tore Charlie's paper and dropped it in the waste basket.

Soon she would be home, back to her life and the person who completed her.

She'd arrive with a smile and a story with a surprising twist that she would definitely enjoy telling him.

As she drifted off to sleep, she felt content. She had indulged her desires and respected her boundaries; she had no regrets.

Some of life's most perfect moments are designed to be temporary, beautiful precisely because they don't last.
