I jumped in the shower to rinse off, joined just moments later by Gloria, who I left washing up before we got distracted into even more extra-curricular activities. Although I don't normally take a lot of clothes on work trips besides those needed for work, I generally take something just a bit nicer than well-worn Levi's for the occasional night like this. I had along a pair of Dockers and at least one nice shirt which really needed a touch of ironing. I poked my head back into the bath where Gloria was just climbing out of the shower and she directed me to the iron which I set up in the front room.
When I finished up with the shirt, I headed back to the bedroom to find Gloria standing in front of the full length mirror on her closet door. Her bottom glowed pink from the hot shower; a black bra strap and matching black thong panties the only thing keeping her backside from being totally naked. Her front side was reflected in the mirror, the sheer thong did nothing to hide the crease of her pussy or pubic heart, although her arms were crossed, her hands cupping her breasts. When I walked in, she looked up at me in the mirror and smiled. Slowly she dropped her hands out of the way, revealing her nipples and breasts peeking out of the half cup bra. Her nipples were erect; I wondered whether it was because of her hands or what was going through her mind.
"There was a note from Melissa that said "You should wear this, Jim will like it." She paused for effect and continued, "And just how did she know that?"
I walked up behind her, ignoring her question. I let out an "umm" of appreciation. "I would say she was right" I answered without answering her. My hands fondled her ass cheeks before slipping around her waist and pulling her back against me. I ran my hands up her body, replacing hers on her breasts. "God you are so hot," I whispered into her ear, smelling her clean scent from the shower. "Have you got something to wear it with?" I'd slid my hands back under her breasts, lifting gently, my thumbs playing with her nipples. Her hands rose again, covering my hands and especially covering her breasts.
"Huh" she smirked. "Fat chance with that."
"Why's that?" I persisted, moving her hands to give my thumbs access once again to play with the two pert jewels ornamenting her breasts.
"I couldn't, I
live
here -- what if we ran into someone I know..." her voice trailed off, her eyes closed as a little shiver ran through her body.
"Then they'll be like me," I answered. They'll recognize you're a very sexy, desirable woman." I sucked her earlobe into my mouth. I brought my fingers to my thumbs, squeezing her nipples between them.
"I couldn't..."
"You could," I answered, another shiver coursing through her body. "And you know you want to." I kissed her neck, her body responded, her nearly naked bottom pushing back against me. "Have you got something sheer, something see-through?"
"No. Not see through." I couldn't help but smile at the slip. Her answer wasn't telling me she didn't have anything sheer, it was telling me that see-through would be too much, or rather, too little. I knew I had her right where she wanted to be.
"You'll find something." I turned to head back out to the living room to put on my shoes and phone for a taxi.
She called me back just as I finished my shoes.
I found her posing in the door to the closet wearing a little black number; the proverbial black dress, the staple of all nightclub scenes, the sexy accoutrement of every beautiful woman. The front had a plunging neckline, soft folds of cloth rose over her breasts towards her neck, ending in a choker. The tie that held the half cups of her bra together was just below the plunge through her cleavage, making it appear from the front that she was braless, her hard nipples barely discernible bumps in the cloth over her breasts. The loose upper cloth smoothed into a form fitting lower that hugged her bottom and hips, draping elegantly onto her legs. It wasn't a dress for the faint of heart or overweight; the woman wearing it needed a body she could be proud of. Gloria fit the bill on all points. I complemented her on how stunning she appeared. "You're sure?" she questioned, turning to check herself in the mirror, "it's not too revealing?" When she turned, I could see her bra strap completely exposed on her otherwise bare back. A couple of inches above the top or the dress, there was no doubt that the dress was meant to be worn braless.
Stepping up to her backside I ran my hands over her naked shoulder blades and down to the bra where I managed to undo the catch in one motion. Unusual for me; I've been a fumbler, at least when it comes to bra straps, all my life. Her hands rose to her breasts to hold the bra in place.
"You're gorgeous," I whispered in her ear, "and smoking hot," my nose nuzzled behind her ear again. "But you can't wear a bra with this, it shows too much." I pulled gently on the one side, she moved her hands, and it slid down and out. I put it on the dresser, turning her to face the mirror again. Turning sideways, the loose material shifted slightly, the pale skin of the side of her breast barely coming into view.
"I can't..." her hands pulled the loose cloth back against her body, "I'm practically falling out."
"No, you're not. It just feels that way because you're not used to it." I pulled her hands away from the top allowing it to settle back down into its normal position. "You're hot. You're sexy, and a very desirable, confident, woman that knows it. Nothing is going to show that you don't want to show." Looking me in the face, I saw the indecision disappear. Turning she picked up her shoe with her toes, bending slightly to slip it over her heel with one hand, then the other, just as a horn beeped outside.
"Let's go before I change my mind," she said, her hands again rising to put the material back in place and push my hand from her bottom where I'd reached out to its unblemished curve as she'd bent over for her shoes. I reluctantly obeyed.
The Restaurant at the Hyatt is atop a tower, looking very much like a golf ball on a tee. A glass elevator rises thirty some stories from the hotel below into the night sky where the restaurant itself is completely surrounded by an observation deck. A chain cage completely surrounds the restaurant and observation deck, providing fall protection and at the same time a Faraday cage to protect the occupants from lightning. The entire city unfolds beneath, an iridescent, three dimensional map of roads and lights. Looking down from the observation deck, on the edge of the ball, there is nothing but a drop for thirty stories, giving the impression of being suspended in air. The view, to say the least, was spectacular.
"That's my building," Gloria pointed out as we made the tour of the deck after dinner, trying to explain what I should look at using landmark buildings and references that I didn't understand at all. She'd earlier pointed out the grassy knoll and the building where JFK had been shot; at least those locations I'd been able to decipher from the unfamiliar surroundings. But her building? To me it was just one of many skyscrapers visible in an indecipherable maze. "See those two tall buildings?" She tried again, her arm pointing at a mass of buildings that to me were all tall.
