The lights in the hotel bathroom are harsh. I dip my eyes from the mirror to the pink and white bag on the counter. I haven't dressed with anyone else in mind for awhile.
And you're waiting for me.
I can still taste your kisses. I can feel the heat of your touch on my bare arms, my back where you eased down the zipper of my snug black dress.
This time, there is time. So here I am.
I slide the dress off my shoulders, down the curves of my hips and let it puddle on the floor at my feet. I reach back and unclasp my bra. My hands tremble just a bit as I pull the straps down. I inhale as the hotel-cooled air rushes across my bare breasts, further tantalizing me. I arch my back and steal a glance in the mirror.
The tissue paper rustles against the bag as I pull out the slip. It suits me, this lovely wisp of silk and lace. I feel exquisite the moment I slide it up over my hips, my breasts, shoulders. My nerves fade, leaving only anticipation. I open the bathroom door.
You're standing by the bed, still dressed. Mostly. Your shirt is unbuttoned and hanging open. Your belt, shoes, socks are piled by the chair.
I expect you to, well, jump me. It's been too long for us both. But you look at me, my body, my face. You capture my eyes. I walk to you. Your hands cradle my waist. I press my hips to yours, feel you hard against me.
I raise my head, left my lips to your jaw and plant a row of tiny kisses up to your ear. I linger there for a moment, just breathing, then tug the lobe between my teeth and bite down. You go boneless against me and we tumble onto the bed, laughing, kissing.
I want to feel your skin against mine. I pull your shirt off, run my hands over your chest, your shoulders. My lips find the hollow at the base of your throat, the hot skin above the waist of your pants. My fingers curl through your hair, trail across your stomach. My nails scrape lightly across your back. When I find a particularly sensitive spot, you growl low in your throat. The sound, your sound, sends tingles through my body. I shiver.
You let me touch you, tease you, explore you, but there is nothing passive in your permission.
Your hands are gentle, firm over the silk slip I'm wearing for you. You've made no attempt to take it off me, but I'm naked to your touch.
