Marina

Plenty of runners book an extra night after the October marathon, and the Monday becomes a slow day of stiff stairs and late breakfasts. Marina counts it among her calmer dates, with the streets of Oud-Zuid back to normal and no barriers between her and a guest. She speaks English and has a warm, dry humour that suits a runner comparing his finishing time with his hopes. A long erotic oil session or a sensual one is what she brings, and she agrees the pace with the guest rather than imposing one. At twenty-eight she is clear about her limits and never vague about the hour.

Marina decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.
