Thread: Lonely, (SerenityAlec1 and Hummingbird)

As Danari returned the handshake, her own slim fingers soft and pliable in K'rin's grip, she felt a small tingle of recognition run through her. She kept the polite smile on her features, but her mind was running with ideas of where she could have seen this woman before. Danari was good with people, as a general rule, and almost never forgot a face, but she couldn't quite put her finger on this one. K'rin's voice struck no chord of memory within her. Danari quickly determined it was better not to ask. While her work was hardly illicit, and Danari wasn't ashamed of what she did in the least, it could be awkward to perform her job if she actually knew the person in question. It was like meeting your old school teacher in the pickle aisle of a grocery store it was uncomfortable and gave her the distinct impression that she should be ashamed about whatever she was currently doing in life. She learned that lesson the hard way after being hired by the bank teller at the small credit union she used. The poor kid could hardly look at her now when she came in without stammering and blushing. Danari let her hand drop down to her thigh as she stepped inside, glancing around the hotel room in idle curiosity. She would guess that K'rin hadn't been here for very long, although she also doubted that this room had been rented entirely for Danari's sake. She wondered if there was a chance of a repeat visit or if this was just something to occupy time on a business trip or vacation. At the mention of George, Danari pressed her lips together firmly. ComfortingTouch wasn't exactly the same as a brick-and-mortar company. Her interview had been held in the personnel manager's residence, and as far as she knew, there was no official location for the company. However, there was an application that all the Cuddlers used, to log the time of their visits, submit a very short report after each client mostly, it was just a single paragraph to assure the company that the client hadn't done anything inappropriate, and a chatroom for the Cuddlers. Danari only knew George through that chatroom, but he could be rather... intense. Danari knew he had gotten in trouble at least twice for hitting on a fellow Cuddler, and he had only been with the company for a couple of months. It was easy to see why K'rin may have been uncomfortable with him. Danari took the envelope and folded it, placing it in her leather tri-fold wallet before returning it to her front left pocket. She waved a hand at the flute. Thank you, but I'm fine. I'm afraid I don't hold my alcohol very well. She chuckled. Danari did drink alcohol on the rare occasion, but she never did on the job. Partly for safety, but more because even a small amount of alcohol made her whole face flush an unattractive red, and she would rather put her best foot forward in the hopes of creating a long-term professional relationship, as opposed to the normal clients that only called her once or twice before disappearing. Repeat customers were her bread and butter better tips, regular schedules, and a steady paycheck. If I make you uncomfortable at any point, please tell me. Danari said with a small smile. A lot of customers like to start out with something simple, like holding hands. We can go at whatever pace you like. There's no reason for us to rush into anything you don't feel comfortable with. Since K'rin had already met George, they would have already gone over the basic rules no contact with lips, breasts, or genitalia, and if either party wants to stop at either time, no questions are asked and the session is over. Danari had only stopped a session a few times of her own volition, and that was when her customers made it quite clear that what they hired her for wasn't exactly platonic cuddling.
