As they stepped out of the lounge, the air in the hallway was noticeably quieter, the distant hum of city life muffled by the luxury of the hotel’s thick walls. The soft glow of golden sconces lined the corridor, casting long shadows as Huma and Nora walked side by side.
“So,” Huma said, glancing at Nora with a teasing smirk, “how many people have you carried like that?”
Nora chuckled. “Not many, actually. You’re special.”
Huma raised an eyebrow. “I bet you say that to all the women you randomly lift in hotel lounges.”
Nora shot her a sideways look, amused. “I don’t make a habit of it, if that’s what you’re asking. But I guess I just like… unexpected moments.”
Huma hummed in thought. “I can understand that.”
They walked in comfortable silence, their steps in sync, until they reached the elevators. Nora pressed the button, then leaned against the wall, studying Huma with that same unreadable expression.
“You’re different from what I imagined,” Nora said suddenly.
Huma turned to her. “What did you imagine?”
“I don’t know. I guess I thought you’d be more guarded. But you’re warm. Playful.” Nora’s lips curled slightly. “I like that.”
Huma felt a flicker of something in her chest, something warm. It wasn’t often she let her guard down so quickly, but with Nora, it felt effortless.
The elevator dinged open. As they stepped inside, the space between them felt smaller, the air slightly charged.
Nora pressed the button for her floor, then turned to Huma with a smirk. “You sure you trust a stranger enough to follow her to her suite?”
Huma smirked back. “You sure you trust me not to lift you again and throw you over my shoulder?”
Nora let out a surprised laugh, her blue eyes twinkling. “Now that I wouldn’t mind seeing.”
The elevator doors closed, and the quiet hum of the ascent filled the air. Neither of them spoke for a few seconds, the silence stretching just long enough for the tension to become something palpable.
Then, just as the elevator reached their floor, Nora murmured, “You really are strong, aren’t you?”
Huma turned her head slightly, their faces close now. “You have no idea.”
The doors slid open, breaking the moment, and Nora stepped out, glancing back as if waiting for Huma to follow.
And she did.
An Unexpected Lift in the Suite
The door clicked shut behind them, sealing the two women inside Nora’s spacious hotel suite. The air felt heavier now—not with tension, but with something electric, something neither of them seemed eager to name.
Huma glanced around the room, impressed. “Not bad. You travel in style.”
Nora smirked, tossing her room key onto the table. “Perks of having an unpredictable schedule. I like my comfort.”
Huma stepped toward the large couch in the center of the room and sat down, stretching her legs with a lazy smirk. “So… do you make a habit of inviting women you just lifted to your suite?”
Nora chuckled, unbuttoning the top of her blouse slightly, revealing a teasing hint of skin. “You keep asking that. I feel like you’re hoping I say no.”
Huma tilted her head. “Maybe.”
Nora moved closer, standing in front of Huma, her hands on her hips. “You looked pretty comfortable in my arms back there.”
Huma looked up at her with playful defiance. “And what if I say I liked it?”
Nora’s smirk deepened. “Then I’d say… we should do it again.”
Before Huma could react, Nora took a slow, deliberate step forward. Her gaze didn’t leave Huma’s eyes as she leaned down—one hand sliding under Huma’s knees, the other curling behind her back.
“You ready?” Nora asked softly, her voice playful but with a steady confidence underneath.
Huma raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a grin. “For what, exactly?”
“For this.”
With a smooth motion, Nora scooped her up into a cradle carry—gentle, but firm. Huma let out a surprised breath, her body instinctively adjusting to the hold as her arm curled around Nora’s neck.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The world around them felt still, like time had briefly hit pause.
“You really are strong,” Huma murmured, amused but genuinely impressed.
Nora glanced down at her, a satisfied smirk forming. “Told you I don’t just look pretty.”
Huma shifted slightly in her arms, testing Nora’s grip with a subtle tease. “Comfortable?”
“Very,” Nora replied, adjusting her hold with ease. “You fit surprisingly well here.”
They both laughed, but there was a tension beneath the humor now—something magnetic, something physical. Huma’s fingers gently brushed against the side of Nora’s neck, feeling the steadiness of her heartbeat.
“You’ve clearly done this before,” Huma teased, voice a little lower now.
“I haven’t,” Nora said, taking a few slow steps through the suite with Huma still in her arms. “But I could get used to it.”

Huma leaned her head slightly against Nora’s shoulder, half-relaxed, half-curious where this was all leading. “Is this how you charm all your guests?”
Nora smiled. “Nope. You’re a one-time offer.”
“Hmm,” Huma murmured, pretending to think. “I might need to test that theory.”
Just then, Nora shifted direction and walked toward the bed with purpose. Huma gave a mock gasp.
“You’re not seriously—”
“Oh, I am.”
And with a gentle but playful flair, Nora lowered her onto the bed, letting her go only when Huma was safely nestled in the plush sheets. Huma bounced slightly and let out a short laugh, propping herself up on her elbows.
Nora stood over her, eyes gleaming. “Still doubting me?”
Huma looked up at her, something playful and almost vulnerable in her smile. “Not even a little.”
Huma blinked. “Wait, what?”
“You challenged me, remember?” Nora teased. “Time to show me what you’ve got.”
“Oh, you’re really going there?” Huma said, narrowing her eyes playfully.
Nora stood her ground, arms crossed but grinning. “Unless you’re scared.”
Huma scoffed. “Please.”
In one swift motion, Huma stepped forward, wrapped her arms firmly around Nora’s waist—and lifted her clean off the ground in a confident front carry.
Nora’s eyes went wide. “Wait—what the—”
Her sentence turned into a breathless laugh as she instinctively clutched Huma’s shoulders for balance. “Oh my god, you actually did it!”
Huma grinned, slightly adjusting her grip. “Surprised?”
Nora let out a surprised laugh, her legs dangling slightly as she instinctively grabbed onto Huma’s shoulders. “Okay, okay! You win!”
Huma gave a small playful bounce, making Nora squeal and tighten her grip. “Told you not to underestimate me.”
Huma grinned, holding her there for a moment before spinning slightly, making Nora laugh even more. Finally, she dropped onto the couch, pulling Nora down with her—right onto her lap.
Nora raised an eyebrow. “So now we’re just sitting like this?”
Huma leaned back comfortably. “You started it.”
Nora smirked but didn’t move. “Well, I have to admit… this is nice.”
Huma’s fingers absentmindedly trailed over Nora’s back. “Told you. Unexpected moments.”
For a moment, they just sat there, the playful energy between them shifting into something quieter, something unspoken.
Then, Nora tilted her head slightly. “You’re dangerous, you know that?”
Huma chuckled. “Why?”
“Because I think I could get used to this.”
Huma smirked, running her fingers along the hem of Nora’s shirt, just teasing enough. “Well… maybe I’ll let you.”
