I was flying through on a business trip, and had arranged to meet a friend of mine for dinner at the hotel where I was staying. We had been friends for quite some time, and had several very frank and downright sexual discussions since we had known each other. But... she was married. Strictly hands off. Also, I didn't want to complicate my life by having "an affair". So although the setting was somewhat romantic, I was simply expecting a friendly catch up.
They'd seated me near the sheltered fireplace, which fortunately wasn't lit, since it was rather hot, and I was wearing the remains of my business suit, and feeling quite dishevelled. The vision who approached my table, on the other hand, looked anything but... my gaze swept from her feet to her head: black open toed heels, black lace stockings, a short black dress, a healthy hint of bustline beneath her cream jacket and a pearl necklace.
"Hi!" she said, leaning over to kiss me on the cheek before I could rise from my chair.
After tearing my eyes from the view, I squeaked back "Hi", leapt out of my chair, and ran around the table to pull out a chair for her. "Please, sit."
"Thank you," she replied, and seated herself. "So have you been waiting long?"
"No... besides, the wait was worth it!"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah... you look good enough to eat! I thought this was just supposed to be the two of us catching up, not some hot date! Not that I don't appreciate the effect."
"Well, I decided if I couldn't dress up for a friend, then who for?"
We chatted over dinner, about inconsequentials, family, friends, the usual things that one chats to with a beautiful woman when one is trying not to be obvious about admiring the view. From dinner, we moved to a quiet corner of the lounge bar to continue chatting over drinks, and before I knew it, the bartender was informing us that the bar would be closing in fifteen minutes. I looked at my watch, and it was nearly 1 o'clock in the morning!
"Well, unfortunately I have to let you go home..."
"Oh, the night is still young, don't you think? Don't you have a couple of chairs and a mini-bar in your suite?"
"Well, yes... but inviting a happily-married woman to my hotel suite is a little... risky, don't you think?"
"Why? Are you frightened I might ruin your reputation?"
"Ruin mine? Oh no... make it perhaps!"
"Well, I'm sure we can survive a little harmless scandal, don't you?"
"In that case, my lovely friend, my room is this way..."
