I had watched you plane land, and was waiting at the jet way, my heart pounding, palms sweaty. Nervous thoughts kept running through my brain, “What if she doesn’t like me; what if she thinks I’m stupid; what if…stop it I tell myself. She will like you, and you have talked for three months. She knows you intimately, “ I argue with myself. At that moment I see you stride out of the gate, and you see me, your eyes light up, and we rush toward each other. I take hold of you as I. look into your eyes, and you search mine. I lean forward, as you lift your face, and our lips meet for the first time. My arms tighten around you, and I feel yours tighten around me, and I hold you, and feel you holding me. We embrace for several moments, and then our bodies move back, each looking at the other, both pleased with what they see. Finally I take your arm and guide you to the exit and out into the parking lot. I stop outside the terminal and hold you again.
And tell you that I am so very glad you came, and kiss your forehead. You take my hand as we walk to the Bronco. I put your bag in the back, walk around and unlock the door, giving you my hand to help you in. As you settle in, I see you looking around, and I lean over and give you a quick kiss, and you pat my thigh, and look at me, and say, “Thank you for the tickets, and thank you for being you.”
As I start the Bronco, I ask about your trip, and you reply that it was ok. We continue to make small talk as we approach our Hotel. We park in the lot near the back, and I help you down, and grab your bag. You touch my hand, look into my eyes, “Steve, don’t be nervous. I want to be here with you, and we will have a great time.”
“Gail, I want to be with you, and not trying to be, just want things to be great for you, “ I reply, “but thank you for coming, for and thank you for being you.”
We join hands, and in that touch, our common nerves leave, replaced by feelings of affection, desire and knowledge of our feelings. We walk through the almost deserted sitting room of the back lobby to the elevator, and as it arrives, step inside. The door closes, and I turn toward you as you turn toward me, and I pull you against me, and our lips meet again, this time passion starts to build. Our kiss deepens, and reluctantly part as the elevator reaches the 12th floor. We join hands and move to our room, the current is almost electric between us. I open then door, stand back and I watch you walk through, the thought strikes me as a thunderbolt, and I am one of the luckiest men on earth. I watch you walk through the entryway, and my eyes follow the gentle sway or your body, and arousal comes immediately. I follow you in, setting your bag next to mine, watching you walk around the room, surveying the way I had placed the scented candles, pulled the sun drapes so that the illumination was just muted sunlight, and wee you nod in agreement and appreciation. You look at me, smile and say to me, “you remembered how I like it,” and touch my arm.
I hold you at arms length, looking at you, and then you step forward and our bodies lock together, our mouths locked, tongues starting a slow dance, exploring, tasting caressing. Our bodies linked, swaying as if to slow sensual music. Out lips separate, you lay your head on my shoulder as we continue to move together. Finally you step back, and say, “be right back, honey,” and grabbing your bag, disappear into the bathroom. I look down at myself, and my pants are out like a tent. I take a deep, ragged breath, and expel it slowly. WOW is the only thing that comes to my fogged brain.
