Advice from Cosmo

They took a taxi back to the Sheraton where they dined, later, in the main dining room, with its colonial-style chairs, and candle lit tables, and he did not try and fuck her that night, nor did she make him do it.
Far from it. She was not even ready to try and make him do it.
She was still thinking how to play it, not how to have him do it.
She wanted to hold off, save it for much, much later. Well, okay, much later.
She was still thinking, first...pelvic crushing.
First, let them pelvic crush in safe circumstances, like, maybe the elevator.
Cosmo said this was a good idea, only she had to get herself ready to get away fast when the doors opened. And then leave him safely inside. Don't, don't--said Cosmo--have him walk with you to your room.
