Marissa's Night

The Suite was silent except for the slow, metronomic tick of the clock above the bar. Andy checked it for the third time in ten minutes. He’d plated the steak, set the wine to chill, even managed to find a candle and light it on the table by the window, but nothing made the anticipation easier to bear. Maybe it was the memory of Marissa’s voice in the spa, calm and unflinching as she disrobed and walked up into that sauna in the nude. Or maybe it was just the knowledge that, in a few minutes, he’d be sitting across from her and every barrier they’d built—professional, personal, or otherwise—would be irrelevant.

He paced the suite, straightened a pillow, then glanced at the painting. Katherine, as ever, watched him with a mixture of curiosity and private amusement, her head tilted as if waiting to see what disaster or triumph would unfold tonight. He considered talking to her but decided against it. Even for him, that crossed some invisible line.

The elevator buzzed, a polite little chime, and Andy’s pulse spiked. He pressed admit and counted three seconds before the doors opened.

Marissa stepped into the vestibule, and for a moment Andy could only stare. She wore a navy sheath dress that looked like it had been tailored for her body alone—high at the neck but perfectly shaped through the waist and hips, ending just above the knee. A black blazer completed the look, but did nothing to hide the way her breasts strained the front of the dress, her permanently erect nipples poking through the fabric, or the way the fabric clung to her thighs when she moved. She’d pinned her hair in a low chignon, with a few loose strands framing her face in a way that looked accidental but probably wasn’t.

She paused just inside, clutching a bottle of white wine to her chest. “I didn’t want to come empty-handed,” she said, then glanced down and gave a small, self-deprecating smile. “I realize that’s not strictly necessary, but it’s how I was raised.”

He took the bottle from her, brushing her hand. “It’s perfect. Come in.”

She looked around, taking in the suite, its overengineered luxury, the table by the window, the lone candle burning bravely against a vast darkness. Andy watched her survey the room, eyes darting for possible escape routes, then settling on the table set for two.

“Wow,” Marissa said, softening. “You really went all out.”

He shrugged. “The hotel provides. I just assembled the pieces.”

She gave a real smile. “That’s half the job, isn’t it?” Her gaze drifted to the painting above the fireplace, and she did a slight double-take. “Is that…?”

“Katherine, Arabella called her. Or, uh, her portrait,” Andy said. “She was a past contestant, I understand.”

Marissa’s lips quirked in professional interest, and she nodded as if diagnosing a rare condition. “That’s… haunting. But beautiful.”

He led her to the table. As she sat, Marissa did a subtle, practiced adjustment of her blazer, as if she could will it to provide more coverage, but it was futile: even the best tailoring couldn’t hide the way her nipples pressed against the fabric, visible as pale points in the candlelight.

Andy sat across from her, poured the wine, and for a few seconds, neither spoke. They sipped, both pretending to study the moonlit landscape outside, both very aware of the other’s presence.

“So,” Marissa said, after a beat, “do you often cook elaborate dinners for your therapists? Or am I the exception?”

He laughed, tension breaking. “You’re the exception. And you know you’re not my therapist anymore.”

She relaxed a fraction. “Is that so?”

He nodded. “I double-checked the fine print after our encounter in the spa.”

“Did you?” She said, something unreadable in her voice.

They ate in cautious silence at first, each bite a buffer between topics too raw to revisit. Andy found himself watching the way the candlelight caught in her hair, or the way her lips curled around each forkful of steak. Sometimes she glanced at him, sometimes at the painting, and once at the floor, as if the whole enterprise was an exercise in seeing how long two people could orbit each other before colliding.

He noticed how she adjusted her jacket every time the conversation veered near anything personal—an **** tic, perhaps, or just the last defense of a woman who’d spent her life learning to compartmentalize.

“So,” he ventured, after she praised the meal, “tell me something you’ve never told a client.”

Marissa considered, then rested her elbows on the table, wine glass balanced between her hands. “You make it sound so easy. Most people are terrified of their secrets.”

“I’m not most people,” he said, and meant it.

She took a slow sip. “All right. I’ll start easy. I have a little sister. Sarah. She’s twenty-six, has cerebral palsy. I’ve been her guardian since our parents died, which means I’ve been a grown-up since before I could legally drink.”

Andy blinked, surprised. “I had no idea.”

She shrugged, but her face softened. “I don’t talk about her much. Not because I’m ashamed. Just… there’s never time.” She paused, swirling the wine. “That’s why I went into psychology, you know. Not some noble calling. I just needed a way to make sense of being needed all the time.”

He let that sit, feeling the gravity of it. “You’re allowed to want something for yourself, too.”

She smiled, wistful. “I know. That’s what my old therapist used to tell me. Before I replaced her with work, and then, eventually, you.”

He blinked at the abruptness, but Marissa pressed on. “You want another secret?” she asked, voice a little lower.

“Always,” he said.

“I hated you at first,” Marissa said, and her blue eyes didn’t flinch from his. “You reminded me too much of every patient who thought they were smarter than the room. But then you kept coming back, even after I pushed you. That’s rare.”

He looked down, unsure how to answer, but she saved him from having to.

“Most people who see a therapist are just buying time. You actually did the work,” she said. “Sometimes, I thought you wanted to impress me more than heal yourself.” A faint smile. “It worked, by the way.”

He let out a breath, caught between embarrassment and relief. “I never knew what to say to you, in those sessions. You always made me think I’d said something profound, then you’d ask a question that proved I hadn’t even scratched the surface.”

Marissa looked at him, the candlelight reflecting in her eyes, and for a moment Andy felt the old charge, the sense that nothing escaped her notice. But tonight, she didn’t follow with another question. She just smiled, gentle and unguarded, and topped off his wine.

They finished the meal, and Andy suggested moving to the couch for dessert. ‘Dessert’ turned out to be just more wine, but neither complained. The city lights far below flickered like another world entirely, and the suite felt smaller, more intimate.

On the couch, Marissa slipped off her blazer, setting it carefully over the armrest. Her dress, while modest, did nothing to contain the impossible curves of her transformation; her breasts seemed to defy physics, and Andy had to **** himself not to stare. They hadn’t been part of her transformation, but somehow, they had been affected by the permanently erect nipples. Maybe it was just that the eye was drawn to them more. Even the candlelight, now burning lower, seemed to want to trace every line of her body.

He asked, “Do you ever miss the old you?”

She thought for a long time. “Before I became a therapist? No one’s ever asked me that.”

“Really?”

Marissa shook her head. “People think therapists are immune to regret. Or that we’re above it. But that’s just projection.” She sighed. “The truth? I do miss her. But I also like who I am now, even if it’s… harder.”

He nodded. “I get that.”

They sat in companionable silence for a minute. Andy found himself inching closer, not on purpose, but as if pulled by a **** outside his control. Their knees touched, and neither moved away.

Marissa set down her glass, fiddled with the stem. “I’m not used to being seen,” she said, voice so low he had to lean in. “Most people want something from me, or just want me to fix them. But you…” She trailed off, unsure.

Andy let his hand rest on hers, tentative. “I don’t want anything from you,” he said. “Except maybe this.” And he turned her palm up, tracing the lines there with his thumb.

Marissa laughed, a brittle sound, but she didn’t pull away. “You’re better at this than you think.”

He looked at her, meaning to say something clever, but lost his words when he caught the softness in her expression. It was like watching a wall come down, stone by stone.

She glanced at the painting, as if seeking permission from Katherine, then back to Andy. “I don’t do this,” Marissa said. “Not with clients, not with… anyone, really.”

“I get it,” Andy said, though he wasn’t sure it was true.

She turned, facing him, and the space between them evaporated. Their lips touched—soft, almost testing—then again, firmer. For a moment, all the nerves and uncertainty dissolved, replaced by something sweeter: possibility.

They broke apart, both a little breathless. Marissa smiled, shy and real. “If you tell anyone, I’ll have to kill you.”

“Who would believe me?” Andy asked, grinning.

They settled against each other, her head resting on his shoulder, his arm around her waist. The resort below glimmered, the candle burned low, and Katherine’s painted eyes watched with what looked like approval.

Hugged by the Master! +1 VP

Andy let his hand rest lightly on Marissa’s, feeling her pulse steady and strong, and watched the moon drift through the clouds until the world disappeared and there was only this—her warmth, her laughter, her breath at his neck.

Hours later, the Suite felt like a different world. The candle had melted down to a puddle, wine glasses were empty, and the resort’s lights far below had faded to a dull, dreamy smear. Andy had never been so aware of the clock and so disinterested in what it meant. On the couch, Marissa dozed against his shoulder, her breathing steady, the line of her jaw softened by sleep.

He was careful not to move, but eventually her eyelids fluttered, and she blinked awake, confusion giving way to a sleepy smile. “Did I… fall asleep?” she asked.

Andy grinned. “A little. You snore like a sleeping cat, by the way.”

She made a face at him, then pushed herself up, taking off her glasses and rubbing her eyes. For a moment, she just looked at him. No trace of her clinical mask, only open fondness and something else. Relief, maybe.

“So,” Marissa said, stretching her arms over her head, which pulled her dress tight across her chest and made Andy’s heart skip. “Are you going to offer me the bed, or should I claim it by ****?”

“Well, can’t really not sleep in it. Arabella’s orders.”

She gave him a sly look. “I’m not here for the bed, Andy. Not really.”

He wasn’t sure what that meant, but before he could ask, she stood, smoothing her skirt. She looked around the Suite, grabbed his hand and dragged him into the bedroom. Then, with a little shiver, started unzipping her dress.

Andy stared, not trusting his eyes. Marissa didn’t look away; if anything, she held his gaze, daring him to flinch. The dress peeled away with quiet efficiency, sliding over her hips and pooling at her ankles. Underneath, she wore a lacy emerald bra and matching panties, the set delicate and just sheer enough to hint at the pink of her nipples beneath. The bra barely contained her breasts, nipples poking out, and the panties sat low on her hips, accentuating her long, runner’s legs.

She stepped out of the dress, then reached behind and unsnapped the bra. With practiced ease, she shrugged it off, and her breasts bounced free—heavy and perfect, nipples tight and flushed in the chill air.

“Wow,” Andy said, because it was the only word that made it through his brain.

Marissa grinned, wicked. “That’s the usual reaction.” She climbed onto the bed, settling on her hands and knees, breasts swaying. “You want to see what you were missing all those sessions, or are you still too professional for that?”

He flushed, embarrassed and aroused in equal measure. “I, uh… I always thought you were attractive. More than attractive. But I didn’t want to cross a line.”

Marissa cocked her head, hair tumbling out of its pins. “There are no lines anymore, Andy. We’re not who we used to be. Maybe we never were. And… I’ve been avoiding this, with you, for far too long.”

He crossed to the bed, slow, almost reverent. “You sure about this?”

She rolled her eyes, but there was warmth in it. “If I wasn’t, I’d be pretending to sleep on the couch. Or playing Mozart on a mental loop until sunrise. But I’m here.” She reached out, took his hand, and pulled him closer. “And I want to enjoy it while I can.”

Andy joined her on the bed, kneeling beside her. He reached out, running his palm over her shoulder, down her back, then cupping the weight of one breast in his hand. It filled his palm completely, the skin soft and warm, nipple already pebbled hard. He couldn’t help himself; he bent down and kissed it, then ran his tongue around the areola, and when he sucked the tip into his mouth, Marissa let out a real, honest moan.

“God, you’re good at that,” she murmured, breath catching. She shifted, arching her back so both breasts hung heavy, inviting more attention. “At work, they’re a liability. But in my personal life…” She grinned. “They’re a pain in the neck, but I’ve always been proud of them.”

Andy took her other nipple in his mouth, gently biting, and she gasped. She pressed his head closer, nails digging into his scalp. He slid his hands down her sides, exploring every curve, the dip of her waist, the swell of her hips.

Marissa, in turn, slid her hand over his thigh, finding the hard outline of his cock through his jeans. She slid her hands inside his pants, squeezed, and he groaned, hips jerking involuntarily.

Touched Master's penis! +2 VP

“You know,” she whispered, mouth close to his ear, “I have a pretty healthy libido. Always have. But between my sister and the practice, I haven’t had the chance to do anything for myself in years. You’d be doing me a favor.”

Andy laughed, a nervous edge in it. “That’s not usually how favors work, but I’ll take it.”

She smiled, softening. “I’m being selfish, Andy. I know I’m not the most likable of the women. I’m probably going home tomorrow. But before I do, I want to remember what this feels like.” She gestured to the space between them, the shared heat, the freedom. “So let’s not overthink it.”

He nodded, understanding.

She lay on her back, pulling him with her. Her breasts flattened against her chest, nipples standing proud. He lavished attention on them, kissing and licking, tracing the soft underside with his fingers. Marissa was vocal, gasping and shivering, her thighs flexing around his waist. She reached up, fingers twining in his hair, and guided his mouth wherever she wanted it.

After a few minutes, she shimmied out of her panties and nudged him to do the same. When their bodies pressed together, skin to skin, Andy felt dizzy with wanting. He was hard, straining, and she wrapped a hand around him, stroking slow and deliberate.

“Just like that,” she whispered. “God, I missed this.”

He used his hands and mouth everywhere he could reach—her breasts, her stomach, the soft skin of her thighs. She responded to everything, her body open and eager. When he slipped a hand between her legs, she was slick and hot, and her hips lifted to meet his touch.

He teased her, skillfully circling her clit with his thumb while his lips lavished attention on her breasts. Her body responded instinctively, a shiver coursing through her as she gasped, “Harder.” He complied eagerly, quickening the pace, while his free hand pinched her nipple with just the right amount of pressure. She erupted in a wave of pleasure, her legs clamping tightly around his wrist as her voice broke on his name.

Andy paused only for a moment to admire the sight of her, flushed and breathless. He moved up to kiss her deeply, their bodies aligning seamlessly. The heat between them was undeniable, a magnetic pull that couldn’t be resisted. As he positioned himself, she wrapped her arms around him, drawing him closer. “God, give it to me, Andy. Oh, I’ve missed this!” Andy entered her in a slow, deliberate motion, savoring the sensation of their connection. Their movements synchronized, building in intensity, a dance of passion and longing. The world outside faded away, leaving only the two of them lost in the pleasure of each other, their moans and whispers mingling in the dimly lit room. And as they reached the peak of their shared ecstasy, they called out each other's names, their bodies entwined in the aftermath of their shared bliss.

Andy couldn’t hold it in for much longer, and he thought she’d want to stop, but instead Marissa rolled them over, straddling his hips. Her breasts hung over his face, and she leaned forward so he could suck them both at once. She rode his cock, grinding herself against him, and after a minute she came again, and with a groan he came too, squirting cum inside her, even as she collapsed onto his chest, laughing and out of breath.

“God, I needed that,” she said, voice muffled in his neck.

He stroked her back, heart thumping. “Me too.”

They tangled together, limbs awkward but comfortable, and after a few minutes the only sound in the room was their breathing and the distant crash of waves.

As they drifted toward sleep, Marissa curled into his side, arm draped across his stomach, one heavy breast pressed against his ribs. She looked peaceful for the first time all night.

Before she closed her eyes, she murmured, “Thank you, Andy. For seeing the real me.”

He squeezed her hand. “Thank you for letting me.”

Her lips twitched in a half-smile, and she let herself drift off. The city’s glow faded into darkness, and the Suite was silent except for the soft rhythm of her breathing, and the memory of her laughter lingering in the air.

For once, neither of them dreamed of anything but this—warmth, belonging, and the sense that maybe, just for tonight, they had everything they needed.

Andy woke to the faint glow of sun on the ceiling, the city’s light long gone, and for a moment he was certain he was alone. The bed beside him was still warm, but empty; the sheets smelled of lavender and something unmistakably Marissa, but there was no sign of her.

He sat up, stretching, half-expecting to hear the elevator’s whirr or the soft click of a door closing for good. Instead, he heard the distant patter of a shower, and, beneath it, the faint hum of someone humming. He blinked, smiled, and padded into the living area.

A few minutes later, Marissa emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, another swaddled around her hair. She moved with easy confidence, despite the fact that the towel barely covered her curves—her breasts pressed against the terrycloth, nipples prominent, and the bottom of the towel just grazed the tops of her thighs. If she was self-conscious, she gave no sign.

She caught Andy staring and grinned, teeth bright and just a little wicked. “Good morning,” she said, voice raspy from sleep but alive with energy.

“Good morning,” he echoed, unable to look away.

She shrugged, the motion sending the towel slipping lower. “I hope you don’t mind, but I raided your shampoo. The hotel stuff is like dish soap.”

He laughed. “You can have whatever you want.”

Her eyes glinted mischievously. “Careful with what you say, now.”

Marissa moved to the kitchen, fixing herself a cup of coffee. She leaned on the counter, sipping, watching him with open affection.

“Did you sleep okay?” she asked.

“Best night in months,” Andy said, and meant it.

She nodded, smile softening. “Me too.”

They ate breakfast (toast, fruit, coffee) standing side by side at the counter. Andy tried not to stare, but the sight of her in the towel, skin flushed from the shower, was impossible to ignore.

Finally, Marissa turned, coffee in hand, and said, “So, did last night help?”

Andy blinked. “Help what?”

She raised an eyebrow, amused. “Your lingering guilt. Or maybe your, um, other issues.” She sipped. “I’m just curious if therapy by unconventional methods is as effective as the textbooks say.”

He snorted, then grinned, realizing the joke. “Honestly? I think you’re onto something. You, uh, made a pretty compelling case.”

She laughed, the sound free and happy, and for a second she looked almost girlish. Like someone who’d never had to carry the world alone.

“I’m glad,” Marissa said, setting down her mug. “Because I don’t know if I’ll get a second chance.”

He stepped closer, wanting to reassure her, but she held up a finger. “No mushy goodbyes, Mr. Cooper. Not yet. I’ll see you at the challenge. You can wish me luck then.”

She vanished into the bedroom, and after a few minutes, emerged fully dressed in her sharp navy suit, hair slicked back and eyes bright. She gave him a quick, fierce kiss on the cheek, then a real one on the mouth.

“Thanks for seeing the real me,” she whispered.

He held her hand, squeezing it once before letting go. “Anytime.”

She shouldered her bag and walked to the elevator. Just before the doors closed, she glanced back, and for a heartbeat her smile was shy and hopeful.

Andy stood in the empty Suite, feeling the echo of her laughter and touch. He knew the day ahead would be hard, maybe even worse than the last, but he gave himself a moment of respite before he prepared to say goodbye.
