The next incident in this extraordinary chain of events follows on immediately from the end of "Any Hotel Anywhere Hot."
"So, I interrupted you fixing my Air-con?" I asked as I pulled on my jock and shorts.
"All done!" Said my handsome companion with a puckish grin "You're good to go!"
It was seven thirty, hours of daylight left, his on-call list completed. I invited him up to my room to shower before taking to the road. His maintenance ID, which he found under his now cum spattered Polo shirt, was a pass key which opened the fire doors out onto each level of the hotel so we were able to use the service stair, sparing us the scowls of the fancy reception staff as the sweat stained fuck buddies would have presented themselves around at the main lobby.
The joy of sharing some afterglow time, showering and chilling with this gorgeous man was just excellent.
We exchanged cell phone details, of course and when I'm in range of his home town I go and get my system drained, serviced and refilled, but just before he left that evening, he used his pass to access the service lift which went up to the penthouse level service lobby (he had no access to the suites themselves), where more cabinets clicked and whispered tech to one another and a stair led up to a fire escape/service door and the rooftop.
The blast of heat from the desert air outside again took my breath away,
we stepped out and he carefully lodged a business card into the catch as he closed it behind us.
I looked up to see the spectacular lights of the City beginning to take over in the dusk, downtown and the strip and spreading out in a shimmering mantle across the one time wilderness beyond the "Meadows" oasis which named the place. To our right, a steel and concrete dais, upon which crouched the sleek, shining red, insectoid form of a helicopter bearing the insignia of a Gulf State airline.
I took his hand, "Thank you!" I whispered in his ear and kissed him again.
"I have to go kiss the kids goodnight." Said he as he drew away. If my surprise was visible I regret it. I hope not."Stay and enjoy the view and let yourself back in when you're done." his eyes full of sadness as he left, he called over his shoulder "Message me when you're gonna be in town, ok?" His dry and cracked tone full of emotion.
"Man, " I said "for more of what you showed me today, I'm gonna be making it my business to be here!"
Then he was gone and I lay down on my back on the warm concrete roof and watched the stars begin to twinkle through the light pollution surrounding and above and below me. It's an amazing City. If you haven't been, put it on your bucket list.
