OMG was she serious!
Adam's mind had gone into overdrive:- Could he make that day? Would he go? Should he go? If he did, would she like him? Would he like her? What would he wear ? DAMN NO! His moral conscience was so strong too. He couldn’t possibly go, he shouldn’t go, what about his real life? Cheating was not something he could do - he would tell her he couldn’t make that date ..... play for time, try and put the date back.

Michelle had sent the text, in a moment of madness, in her head and heart she knew it was wrong - but a one-off, to tick a box, never to be repeated, her secret, their secret, she hoped .................
She’d not spoken to him since Monday, purposely avoiding her MSN, a mixture of shyness and excitement had taken hold. As she arrived at the hotel, and checked in – a million questions in her mind, one over-riding all others - would he turn up? She thanked the hotel receptionist, gathered her bag and went to room 472.
9.30am, not much time – she had showered before leaving home, so just needed to set the scene – and dress appropriately. Pulling the curtains and lighting scented candles, the soft light was perfect. She had taken her white lingerie, she knew he liked the classics - undressing from her daytime gear, she stepped into her lace thong, white push up bra and hooked her suspender belt. Her nude silk stockings slid easily up her legs. Standing in front of the mirror, she slipped into her heels – and put on her ivory silk wrap, tying the wide satin ribbon belt into a big bow at her front. Finally a dab of her favourite Coco Chanel and her pearls. She was ready for him, her heartbeat was audible, every inch of her body tingled with adrenaline. Pray he would turn up.

Adam knew it was madness – but something had compelled him to go. Second thoughts and reservations danced in his mind and stung his conscience, but as if on autopilot, he walked through the hotel lobby, to the lift and pressed level 4. He turned into the corridor, and followed the hotel sign - Rooms 430 – 480. He had left earlier than normal that morning, and at breakfast time he had talked of a business meeting – out of town. No questions had therefore been asked as he’d dressed, a little smarter than normal, his dark blue striped shirt, dark trousers and black belt. He’d shaved, then applied Armani Black Code, his favourite.
He found himself standing outside door 472. Was she there ? Had she really meant it ?. OMG what shall I say when she opens the door ?
A gentle tap tap ...............................
*****************************************************
Michelle heard the door knock, just before 10am her heart was in her mouth with nerves – he had come! In her mind, she knew he would – just as he knew she would be there.
She opened the door, and smiled “Hello Mr Smith, do come in” - his pictures had depicted him so well, tall, dark, broad - almost Mediterranean looking. Adam smiled back - “Hello Mrs Smith” his eyes danced over her body, wrapped in Ivory silk.
The room smelt lovely, her IPod was playing Toni Braxton – and naturally, he made a quip about her taste in music. She responded, as he knew she would, by calling him an ‘old fart’. Within an instant there were no more nerves, no awkwardness – just as they imagined it would be - as it had been from their first chat.
However - the air was electric .....

Predictably - well it was his Birthday treat after all - Michelle made the first move :-
“Are you going to unwrap your Birthday Present then” Michelle’s eyes directed his to the bow on her wrap – and as he stepped forward his hands slowly pulled open the ribbon at her waist, the wrap slipping from her shoulders to the floor – a little shy being so very nearly naked, and him fully dressed - she kissed him gently, and allowed her hands to undo his shirt and slip her fingers inside feeling his skin.
