The door beeped as the key card was removed from the slot letting them know that it could now be opened. The bell-hop went up the stairs with their luggage and they followed. The stairs winded a bit to finally reveal a spacious room with two big cabinets that opened onto television sets and a smaller door that concealed the mini-bar.
Seff tipped the man. "Thanks for all your help. We really appreciate it."
"My pleasure, sir. And if there is anything else you can think of just call the concierge desk. Enjoy your stay!"
Veronica heard the door close downstairs as the bellman left, and opened the French doors nearest her. They opened onto a small balcony with a lovely view of the mountains and had two chairs and a table set up for them.
As she took in the spectacular view and looked at the brilliant blue summer sky, Seff came up behind Veronica and encircled his arms around her waist.
"Hey there, baby," he said casually.
"Hey yourself."
"What ya thinkin' about, Veronica?" Seff whispered into her ear, before kissing along her neck.
"Just looking..." she said as her eyes closed. "At... the... view..." she finished somewhat breathlessly. "What are you doing, Seff?"
"Just lavishing my woman with some lovin'." He spun her around so that she would be facing him, and bent so that his lips met hers.
Veronica melted there in his embrace, raised her arms to loop her hands around the back of Seff's neck, and softly moaned into his kiss. They broke apart and looked at one another.
Veronica ended the silence. "Let's go into the room. It's too hot out here." She could feel the air conditioning gently leaking through the doors to gently caress her skin as he spoke.
"Alright, but you know that it'll get hot in there soon, too." Though his expression was completely serious, there was a playful smile Veronica could see that lit up his eyes.
As Veronica entered the room, she closed the patio doors behind her. The air conditioning in the room felt wonderful on her skin. Her senses seemed heightened after the sudden change of temperature. She decided to take her time to relax a moment. Veronica kicked off her wedge flip-flops and took off her earrings; next, went her watch. She heard water running in the bathroom. Veronica walked over to where the sound was coming from.
The sight that greeted her was quite a shock. Seff had not only drawn a beautiful bubble bath in the huge jacuzzi-like tub, but had managed to procure and light a few delicious lavender scented candles. The effect was delightful. The windows that gave a view of the mountains had curtains drawn over them so that very little sun leaked in. The candle light danced around on the tiles. Near the tub stood a shiny metal bucket that held a bottle of champagne chilling on ice; there were two glasses close by waiting to be filled.
Veronica was speechless, a smile playing in her eyes. "When did you find the time to do all this?"
Seff held out his hand to her. "Less questions... Let me help you out of these clothes..."
Seff pulled Veronica close and kissed her firmly, but gently, as his hand strayed to the bottom hem of her purple tank top. She lifted her arms so that the shirt could be pulled off. He stood back to admire the once milky white skin of the tops of her breasts. They had spent so much time in their bathing suits the past couple weeks, that a lot of her skin had acquired a healthy golden glow.
