After the sexual escapade in the linen closet at the hotel, we weren't able to see each other for a few days. Meetings kept me away from her and by the time I'd get back to the hotel, she'd be too busy with customers, a long list of things to have to do, or she just wouldn't be there.
As I was leaving the restaurant a colleague had chosen to go over some last minute paperwork, he told me about a bar to meet him at. "Come on, Nick!" he said getting his briefcase. "You'll love it!"
"I can't," I said, "I need to go back to the hotel and pack."
"Right, right..." he murmured, "your flight is tomorrow huh?" He pulled out his money clip and pulled two tens out and tossed them onto the table next to our dirty dishes. He picked up his receipt from the bill folder the waitress had given him and put it with his money clip, putting the two back in his pocket. "Can't you stick around for a few more days?"
"No," I said, a little sad. "I really have to get back home. I have a few meetings to go to this week."
"Oh well, perhaps next time," he said. I shook his hand and said good-bye and left the restaurant with him, heading back to the hotel.

I slid my card into the door and opened it, I could smell the soft remnants of her perfume. I suddenly missed her. She hadn't been around, and my body was aching for her touch.
I pulled my jacket off and put it over the back of a chair. I walked to the window and opened the sliding glass door, walking out to the balcony. I looked down at the cars passing down below on the busy street, and leaned against the railing on my elbows. I stood there for a few minutes, until I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to the door, leaving the door to the balcony open. I undid the lock and swung it open.
My goddess! My lovely woman!!
She stood there in a long black overcoat. The only part of her skin I could see was her face and her legs. Her feet were snuggled into a pair of black stiletto heels. "I can't stay long. Someone will think something is up."
I ushered her in, closing the door with a "do not disturb" card on the handle to the hallway. I locked the door, and turned around. I breathed in deep. I could smell her.....
"I missed you," I said.
"I missed you too, but I can't stay long, we aren't allowed ---" she started, but I took her in my arms and didn't let her finish. I kissed her deeply. She pressed her body against mine, kissing my lips softly but with immense passion. I slid my arms around her, running my hands down her front. I opened up her coat, and slid it off her shoulders. I moved my hands around over her skin, realizing that she was naked.
I pulled away and looked down at her gorgeous body. Ohhhh, she was so beautiful. Her breasts where a work of art, and her stomach was toned and and tight. Her hips were perfectly rounded, and she stood there, letting me look her over.
"I really can't stay long, Nick," she said. "We aren't allowed to have relations with the guests....I could get fired."
"I'll get you a job, my lady," I said. I pulled her close again, kissing her deeper. Then realized something. I pulled away and looked into her eyes, "I feel like a fool," I said. "I don't even know your name, I must know it."
"It's Katherine...Katherine Gelliss," she said softly. "My maiden name was Katherine Gillmore."
"You are married?" I was shocked. I hadn't even to think about that. She knew I was married as when I signed in the week before into the hotel. When asked of family to reach in case of emergency, I had replied, "I'm not married," and then gave my parents names and phone numbers.
She nodded her head, and turned around, and walked to the bed, laying on it. "But I'm going through a nasty separation, so don't worry about it."
My shock calmed, and I walked to the bed with her, laying next to her. "I am sorry it didn't work out."
"It's okay, my sweet Nick," she said, moving her hand through my hair, smiling at me. "I just wanted you to know my maiden name in case you come back through town and want to get a hold of me."
"I see...." I said. We both felt the breeze through the open door to the balcony. Her body shook a little, but not much. I slid my hand up and down her leg slowly, feeling little goose bumps form on her skin. "You cold my dear?" I asked.
"Just a little, but I'll be fine." She stood up and crossed to the light switch, turning it off. By turning on the ceiling light, that left two small lamps on. She then crossed to the doorway to the balcony. She grasped the cord to the curtains and opened them up wide. It was dark outside, and the only lights from the street were from the cars and the neighboring buildings. It was almost 9 p.m. and I was sure no one would be looking up at the hotel and notice her standing next to the window naked.
I stood up, and undressed as I went to her. She kept standing there, looking out. When I was naked, like her, I stood behind her, and wrapped my arms around her.
