The thunder had subsided and was now barely audible in the distance. Suzette walked over to the window of her 10th floor hotel room and looked out. The lights in the parking lot and in the pool area were all on and the concrete glistened with under them. The rain had stopped. Large puddles were left all over after the heavy downpour. Light steam rose up from sections of the ground that were still warmer than the night air. It was already almost 11PM, but the night time air temperature in Raleigh this time of year rarely dipped below the mid-seventies.
Suzette looked over at the pool, also steaming now a bit as the rain cooled things down.
"Oh a swim would feel so good! Perfect way to end the day!" She thought to herself.
She was in Raleigh for training all this week at her company's corporate location. She came down here quite often and ALWAYS stayed at the Sheraton. It was the nicest hotel in the area, with the best facilities. Plus it was only 2 miles from where she had to be each day.
It was Tuesday night, her second night on the road for this trip. Her job as a Human Resources manager didn't require much travel other than the 3 or 4 yearly trips to Raleigh to her corporate HQ. Last night she had wanted to go for a swim, but the pool area was sort of crowded and Suzette was a little shy about going in front of everyone in the suit she had brought with her.
She had an assortment of modest one-piece suits that she COULD have taken with her on this trip, but not this time. Instead, she brought the one two piece that she owned. It was a light blue bikini, with a string top and a somewhat skimpy bottom. At least, Suzette thought it was skimpy. It fit her well, but didn't really offer the fanny coverage that she felt comfortable with in front of others. The funny thing was, Suzettes friends were always telling her how jealous they were of her figure. At 32 she was still in great shape, with a really flat tummy. Still though, Suzette was a fairly modest person who rarely dressed in anything other than conservative clothes and swimwear. All of her life she wanted so much to be like the skinny girls with small boobs -- just have a real athletic build. But Suzette had been "blessed" with the classic hour glass figure, curvy hips, a big chest and a very full round behind. She had some body issues, like most women. But she dealt with them by covering up what she could, when she could. Plus, she knew that most men (and women for that matter) preferred a woman with a nice booty -- and she knew hers was envied by her friends... she took some solace in that when ever she felt it was too fat.
She looked back out the window and almost had second thoughts about wearing just a bikini out there. The lure of the completely deserted pool, however, was strong.
"Well, it did just rain. I doubt anyone will be heading down there at this hour anyway..." she said, convincing herself to at least put her bikini on and go down there. After a few more minutes of waffling, she finally did put it on, then put on the long terrycloth robe that every room had a pair of for the guests to use. It was white, thick, and covered her to her ankles. She tied it tightly closed around her waist. She put her shoulder length blond hair back in a pony tail, fastened a small elastic hair band around it. Then she grabbed a towel, her room keycard, slipped on her flip flops, and headed out into the hallway.
She went to the rear elevators that serviced the back of the building. The hotel had two sets of elevators, each on opposite ends of the building. The rear set served from the room floors to the pool and gym area. The main elevators ran from the room floors to the main lobby.
Suzette road the elevator all the way down. She stepped out into the hallway on the main floor. The gym was to her left. The lights were on, and only two women were in their on treadmills. Directly in front of her was the door that lead outside to the rear parking lot and the pool. Suzette walked to and through that door.
The night air was warm... warmer than she had expected. She looked towards the large pool area and scanned for people. The big built in hot tub was steaming, but the jets were off. It was empty. The surface of the pool was like a sheet of glass. Even in the half darkness, she knew no one was in it.
The pool area was only half lit with large lights. Most of it was now in total darkness, as was about half of the surrounding concrete deck area. The hot tub was fairly well lit. It officially closed at 11PM each night. Suzette knew she still had some time to swim, but she had been out here before on other trips well past 11 and no one ever came out to check. The lights did shut off, most likely on a timer, but no one had ever come out to check -- at least not immediately after 11PM rolled around.
Suzette walked down the path through the grass over to the small, waist high gate that lead into the pool deck. She opened it, walked in and closed it behind her. The whole area was closed in by a 4 foot high brick wall.
Towels from swimmers and sun bathers earlier that day were scattered all about, some hanging on chaise lounges, others on the deck. All were now soaked. A few beer and soda bottles were still on the tables that were placed all around the left side of the pool. It was a nicely laid out area, with a large planter in the center that featured several small bushes and trees. The pool was all the way to the right. It was a large pool, with no real deep end -- 5 feet was it's deepest point. The huge hot tub / Jacuzzi was built right in to the concrete deck between the pool and the hotel itself.
Suzette found a chaise lounge with minimal moisture, and set her towel and room key down on it. She gave a final glance around, then looked up at all the rooms that overlooked the pool area. She was in one of the unlit portions of the deck area, so she knew she was fairly hidden. Still, of the 200 or so rooms that had pool views, lights were only on in a dozen or so, and most of those had the curtains drawn. She took a deep breath and untied the robe, then slipped it from her shoulders and off, laying it over the back of the lounge. She slipped of her flip flops and headed to the pools edge.
She sat on the side and first dipped her feet in, then up to her knees.
"Oh..." she exclaimed... the water was sooooo warm. She lowered herself in and instantly submerged.
She swam around quietly for several minutes, relishing how the warm water relieved any and all stress. Why didn't she have a pool of her own?? It was heaven.
She floated on her back a while and stared up at the clearing night sky. Several stars were now visible as the clouds were breaking up. So peaceful...
After a bit she flipped over and swam the length of the pool. When she reached the wall in the 5 foot deep section, she held on to it and was about to turn and swim back... but she noticed something. Her boobs... they felt... lighter?
