"Yeah, maybe you’re right, but you know what? Why don’t we go to my room and get some private action there, Sweetiepuss?" Alice coaxed her date.

"Why don’t I see you to your room and we’ll assess how you’re feeling once we get there," Helena smiled.

"Well let’s get going then, Sugarplum."

Alice grabbed Helena by the hand as they made their way out of the nightclub. Helena had to put her arm around Alice’s waist to steady her.

"Gosh, Sweetiepuss, that champagne really packed some punch," Alice said, reeling.

"Yes, it seems like it, but you also drank it as if it was water," Helena reminded her.

"Oh yeah, Sweetiepuss, but that just makes Al a better lover!" Alice bragged, as she burped.

"Yes, well, we’ll see, darling," Helena said.

While they strode through the hall, they passed a door with a "Private" sign. It caught Helena’s attention.

"What’s in here darling?" Helena asked innocently.

"Where? Oh that? That’s my cuz’ private office suite," Alice answered. "You want to have a look?"

"What do you mean?" Helena asked. "You have a key to your cousin’s office?"

"Yeah," Alice said, fumbling with a key chain that she’d pulled from her purse. "I have the key to every room in this hotel. See, it’s this one with the pink polish on it."

Alice held the key up and looked at it cross-eyed. After missing the keyhole several times, she finally opened the door to Tina’s office and private quarters. As soon as Helena stepped inside the room she could see the screens which gave her a view of every part of the casino, including gaming tables, corridors, cashiers and security areas."

"Hmm, interesting," Helena muttered, taking in everything she could.

"What did you say sweet lips?" Alice asked, her head rolling from side to side as she tried to focus.

"Oh nothing! I was just thinking to myself that it’s pretty impressive," Helena answered quickly.

"If you say so," Alice answered with a growing annoyance. "Come on, Sweetlips, let’s go to my room. I’ll show you impressive!"

Both women left Tina’s office and continued their staggered walk towards Alice’s suite, which was a lot smaller than Tina’s, but decidedly cozy.

As soon as Alice closed the door, she threw her purse on the table, and Helena’s with it. She pushed Helena against the door and kissed her hard. Helena was a little shocked at first by the surprise attack but played Alice’s game.

She started walking Alice to the bed and pushed her down on it while she climbed on top of Alice. Their kiss deepened and got more sensual, but suddenly Helena broke the kiss and looked into Alice’s blue eyes.

"You are very pretty, darling," she whispered in Alice ear.

"You ain’t so bad yourself," Alice answered, unable to stifle a yawn.

She became pretty tired all of a sudden, the champagne overtaking her. She tried to fight her fatigue, but the way Helena was stroking her hair and face wasn’t really helpful and before she knew it she dozed off.

As soon as Alice was asleep, Helena got up from the bed and walked over to the table with Alice’s purse to find the key she had used earlier. She tiptoed into the bathroom with Alice’s handbag, as well as her own, and quietly fished out the key chain.

"Hey, Sugarlips, where’d you go?" Alice whined, rolling around. "Come back to bed. I want to fuck …"

Helena slid the key with the pink polish from the ring. She dropped it quickly into her own bag.

"I’m here, darling," Helena called out, trying to sound nonchalant. "I just had to use your bathroom. Now where were we?" she asked, returning from the bathroom and surreptitiously placing the bags on the table.

She crawled back in the bed with Alice.

Placing her cheek next to Alice’s, she kissed her close to her ear.

But the only response she got was a long, loud snore.
