Alena sat in the small room they had provided for her. She was surprised. It was almost as large as her bedroom back home, although nearly the entirety of it was filled by a bed so large it must have been specially made. The four poster bed was covered in draperies, all sorts of pillows and blankets, more than Alena had ever seen. She couldn’t imagine how much this must cost.

The trip to the room had been a blur. After her massage, Madison had taken to bathing Alena herself, which Alena enjoyed immensely. She took loving care to wash and clean every inch of Alena’s body, gently caressing her. Alena felt embarrassed at first but it was Madison’s job to care for her, and she was actually very lucky to have someone like Madison caring for her.

Madison was so soft and gentle. Of course it was just her job, but Alena couldn’t help but feel as though Madison put in the extra effort with her. She would add in gentle caresses that would make Alena moan as she slowly was dragged back from the haze left on her. She could almost remember Madison smirking down at her as she teased her.

Eventually Madison led Alena back towards her room for the night, robed up. But once back at the room, Madison removed the robe setting it on the door. She gently led Alena back towards the bed, gently laying her down. She gently rubbed Alena’s head until Alena slowly came back to her body.

At first she felt embarrassed. She was naked, laying there, having just had the most incredible sex she had ever had, but Madison played it off like it was nothing. Then Alena’s stomach growled leaving both of them to chuckle. Madison had left, promising to return with the perfect dinner for Alena.

So Alena sat there, waiting, on the bed, clutching a pillow in front of her body. She knew she could go and get the robe, but at this point, it seemed more of a formality then anything else. Madison had seen her naked, there was no point in hiding her body now.

Madison slowly opened the door peeking around it. “Just me. I’ve got your dinner.” Madison slowly walked into the room and shut the door behind her. Madison crossed towards the bed, holding out a protein shaker and nothing else. Alena opened her mouth for a second to protest but was quickly silenced by Madison raising a hand. “I know it’s not much. But this will fill you up more than anything else. Trust me. Have I led you wrong yet?”

Alena shook her head and took the shaker. She slowly sniffed it. It smelled like fruit and berries. She raised it taking a sip. As soon as it hit her tongue her eyes flew open wide. It was incredible. She had never tasted anything this good before. Alena quickly gripped it with both hands drinking from it hungrily.

Madison slowly sat down on the bed across from Alena, legs crossed. Alena lowered the drink gasping heavily. She looked at Madison who seemed to almost be glowing, her skin shimmering in the dim light. Alena turned her head sideways and rubbed her eyes.

“Don’t worry about that. Just a natural side effect Alena. How’s the shake?” Madison asked twiddling her thumbs in her lap.

Alena wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. “It’s amazing. What is in this? I’ve never had anything this good before.”

Madison chuckled. “Personal secret recipe that we only have here.”

“I’d love to make it back home. Any chance I can get the recipe?”

“Sorry. But it’s a secret of the place. Can’t give it out to just anybody or what would make it so special?”

Alena took another big sip. She wasn’t even half done and already felt so full from it. “Then I’ll just have to take you home with me so that you can keep making it for me.” Alena felt the words leave her mouth without even realizing it. What was she even saying? She couldn’t just take someone back home with her. Let alone suggest it.

“Would you like me to come home with you Alena?” Madison said giggling. She grinned widely, leaning forward with her elbows on her knees.

Alena blinked. Surely Madison couldn’t be serious. She must have her own job and her own life, and yet, here she was practically agreeing to it. “Umm…I mean it’s just a joke right. You can’t just leave your life here and your job. Although I guess you could still work if you wanted to. No. What am I saying. I just met you today. Plus I have to go back and deal with my ex and their stuff and eve-“

Alena looked up at Madison’s face. She seemed almost sad to hear Alena say no. Alena felt her heart break. Madison looked like a puppy who had just been kicked. What could have possibly been so bad about what she had said. It was just a joke after all. Right?

“I mean unless you really wanted to come back with me?” Alena felt the words tumble out of her mouth without realizing it. What was wrong with her?

Madison blushed and leaned forwards resting her hands on Alena’s knees. “Would you like me to come home with you Alena? I will not be disappointed if you say no. I am here to take care of you.” The words sounded so sincere that Alena couldn’t possibly say no.

“Can- Can I sleep on it? I just, this feels like a lot. I mean why would you even want that? I don’t even know why you’d want to come back with me?”

Madison moved closer so that their knees were touching. She gently caressed Alena’s legs. “You are remarkable Alena. You just do not realize it. Please, allow me to continue to care for you forever. I will make your life truly incredible every day we are together. I shall treasure and care for you with every fiber of my being.”

“Why?” Alena felt the question burst from her mouth before she could stop herself. She took a breath, composing herself. “Why me? What makes me so special to you?”

Madison reached up, gently caressing Alena’s face. Alena felt herself leaning into Madison’s hand, almost nuzzling it. It radiated with energy, warming her cheek. It felt so good against her skin. “You are more special than you realize. You radiate happiness, but deny yourself. I want to make you happy with every ounce of myself.”

Alena was stunned. Nobody had ever spoken to her like this. Nobody had ever looked at her like this. Madison’s eyes hid no intent. They were just full of love for Alena. This person that she had only met a few hours ago. Alena felt this weird warmth in her when she looked into Madison’s eyes. It was as if she was being pulled in, wrapped in a blanket of protection. As though she would never have to worry about anything for the rest of her life. Alena wanted to sink into the feeling and give in.

Madison slowly leaned back, taking her hand away with her. Immediately Alena felt the emptiness of her life creep back in slowly. It was such a stark contrast to being in contact with Madison that she wanted to run to the other girl’s arms, diving in head first.

“Drink up Alena. You will need your rest for tomorrow.” Madison said raising Alena’s hands that were holding the shaker. Alena tentatively took another sip, remembering instantly how good it tasted.

“I will leave you here tonight Alena. Normally I would suggest I spend the night with you, caring for you, but I think you should take care of yourself tonight. The bathroom is just down the hall if you need it. If you need me. There’s a button by the light switch next to the bed. If you press it, I’ll come running.” Alena looked towards where Madison was pointing and saw the switch and button.

Alena only nodded. Madison made sense, and yet, a part of her wanted Madison to stay. Would they spend the night together or not? Why did it feel wrong to think that this shouldn’t happen? It had only been a few hours.

“Alena. Don’t overthink things please. Just know, I’m here for you, no matter what.” The sentiment made Alena’s heart flutter in her chest. She didn’t want to let Madison go.

“Is it weird to say I’ll miss you?” Alena asked. All these feelings were so different than any she had ever felt before.

Madison smiled and gave a soft laugh. “Not at all cutie. I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Will there be another smoothie for breakfast?” Alena asked finishing up her current one.

“If you’d like. I’ll bring you plenty of anything you want.”

Alena smiled and nodded. “Thank you Madison.”

Madison waved and opened the door. “Think nothing of it.” She walked out and began to close the door. “Oh and Alena, think about me coming home with you. I’d really love to spend the rest of my life caring for you.” She closed the door behind her with a soft click leaving Alena alone in the dark.
