He grasped me firmly, but gently, just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice, close to my ear.

“Just relax. . . “

Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing and moving upward along my calves, slowly, but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn’t care. His touch was so experienced, so sure.

When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and I partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my panties.

Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking “no” for an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say . . . . .
“Okay, ma’am,” said a voice. “All done.”

My eyes snapped open and he was standing in front of me, smiling, holding out my purse. “You can board your flight now.”

As of right now, the 350p to MSP. As of now, I'm going to brunch with some FTers at Aria tomorrow, but am stupidly considering the 1252p flight via LAX or the 150p flight via SLC. That way, I have a few more minutes where I can hang out with the FA before her flight.

Hit'em hard at the dice table @ Casino Royale! and, give a big hello to the bartenders at The Mansion Casino Bar for me! (I left you just a bit of Hennessy Paradis, and there is a BIG bottle of Woodford that's hardly been touched!)

If it's the 350p on Sunday, sorry I'll miss you by a day.

I definitely won't get to the Mansion but will probably get at least some FB from CR but won't use any credit for room there - found a $50/night rate at Candlewood Suites which will count toward PriorityClub's Crack the Case promo, the Sweet Dilemma promo, 5,000 bonus points, $2 back from Upromise, $1 to the Roth IRA on the Fidelity Retirement AmEx, etc: D.

Too bad CR made the conscious decision to go after low-level slot players instead of table players - the remodeled rooms weren't bad and there are even suites one can have booked if a well-known quantity. The current CR website actually shows parts of the suites even though they aren't reservable online - any photo with a couch is from a suite.

Don't know how much gaming I'll get in - have other business items to take care of, student grades are due Monday, and I have the 0600 flight Tuesday morning

ETA: I did just send a message to see if there's anything exciting Monday, as I have the card of an executive host in my wallet. Said executive host acknowledges owing me a favor ...

I didn't know JFE had his own casino, but it does make sense.

The Mansion does indeed have it's own jurisdiction, correct?

baccarat_king

The Mansion Casino is basically it's own zip code.

I must say, it definitely rates up there with being one of the best gaming environments. Total class! And, I really enjoy the bar area and nibbles where you can just 'hang-out' after a tense night of baccarat.

Not at the point of playing any variant of baccarat and poker is on my "professional development" list for the second half of next year. A friend who makes considerable sums in poker insists I should be the poker player (don't know what that means ...).

And I did make an edit a few posts above this one

Nice! feel free to expand!

icurhere2, if you have a desire to play big baccarat, and drink cognac all night... then coordinate with me in Atlantic City.... As an added bonus, dinner and all the Hennessy XO, Macallan 18 and JW Blue you can drink will be on me.

Sorry, it only goes as high as XO; but this is AC; and I'm a low roller.

Is the weather very nice days for you?

baccarat_king

The weather SUCKS! NO SNOW in Southern New Hampshire (yet)!

No worries, you'll be buried soon enough!

It's good to be back home from rainy California, even if it's only for a short time before Christmas. I still can't believe I locked the keys in my rental car. I did that a lot in my youth, but fixed it a long time ago mostly by carrying two key rings at all times.

Probably going to fly to Tampa instead of driving. Cost is a wash, and at least I am upgraded on my Christmas Eve flights. As far as the return flights, who knows. Maybe the grinch will steal my upgrades again.

I hope everybody is ready for the holidays - safe travels to all except for mersk862 to whom we should wish safe "at homes" since it seems he spends more time on airplanes than is his home.

One of my friends (also a FA that is a mutual friend of mine and The FA) has started referring to my apartment as the five-star hotel in Mpls.

Not going to work out - he's TDY in another function.

According to Trump, they're going to stop offering me RFB comps as of this month (mine had strict monetary limits unlike yours) unless I visit. So unless I head off Wednesday after my BHM mileage-run and come back early enough Thursday to not get in trouble with the CDG trip Friday ... I went to Trump in December of last year, registered for a card, and within a evening had made my monthly budget on a $10 blackjack table. Only modestly up the other two days but enough to get the pit's attention and many offers of rooms on the spot

My next trip to the vicinity is 21-23 January for the Hockey Do in PHL - I have a suite in the former Park Hyatt PHL on the 22nd post match. We could see if there's any other reason to visit the area on another weekend So what's an average big baccarat bet?
