As I get off the plane, I can not help but notice the biting cold of the Great Plains. The wind howls through the airplane, even with the gangway firmly attached to the door. All I have seen is a picture or two (or a few dozen to be honest) but I believe I will know her anywhere, even with my eyes closed.
As I move to the escalator, I notice a smile, a flash from the twinkle of an eye in the waiting crowd. Being who I am, at the bottom, I try and blend into the crowd to slide in behind her, to cover her eyes, press up behind her and prolong the tension for a few more seconds.
She out smarts me and does the move I planned on me.
I feel her arms wrap around me, her breast press against my back and her warm breath on my neck as she says, "guess who handsome." I spin around and our eyes meet for the first time, I pull her close and we kiss, a warm soft wet kiss that makes you lose your breath. As we pull away, I see the smile I had hoped to see, and all the months of texting, talking and writing melt away. We both smile and head out the door, into the chill of wind and winter, knowing that the next few days will be as hot and wet as a monsoonal July day on the Plains.
We head out to the car, holding each other tight. As the chill of the evening air assaults us, we take comfort in our warm embrace. We jump into the car and before you can get the key in the ignition, I lean over and take your face in my hands. I pull you close and we kiss, more passionate, more intense than before, our tongues exploring, probing, and penetrating the recesses of each other. My hand slides along your side, gently brushing the side of your breast, you let out a soft moan as I continue to tease you over your shirt, getting a little bolder with each pass. Soon my shirt is unbuttoned and you are running your hands over my chest. You slowly kiss your way down my neck and begin nuzzling me, as I run my fingers through your hair, caressing your head and tugging at your blouse. All of a sudden we realize we are still in the parking lot and separate, re-adjust our clothes and begin the drive out of Kansas City.
As we drive, my hand touches your thigh; I brush my hand across your cheek, run my fingers through your hair. Soon, you tell me I have to stop or we will never make it back in one piece. I lean over and tell you we don't have too. I then kiss your neck and tell you I have a surprise. We get off on 435 and then on State Street. We turn into the Chateau Avalon. You give me a puzzled look and I just smile as the valet opens the car door and we rush in. I walk up to the desk and give the desk clerk my name.
He smiles and says, "Everything is exactly as you requested." I take the key and we head to the room.
