They arrived at the hotel door at the same time, which always happened. They smiled at each other like two people sharing an inside joke. He inserted the hotel card and pulled it out, as she smiled and raised her eyebrows.
"How appropriate," she said. "In and out."
They laughed entered the room. Once inside, they turned toward each other and embraced, a warm, but not passionate hug. As they pulled apart he softly kissed her cheek, and she smiled and gave him a look of minor disapproval.
A warm hug, while clothed, was ok. Kissing was outside the rules.
They stood facing each other in the hotel room and slowly they undressed. First he would remove an item, then he would watch her. They stood not quite three feet apart and one by one removed items until they were standing in just their underwear. She looked amazing in a little black teddy, while he looked her up and down in his white boxers. They were both fit, attractive people. Truth be known, one of the main reasons they stayed fit was because they wanted to look good for their little rendezvous. He ached to reach out and pull her toward him, but they both knew that wasn't going to happen.
