"Ready?"I asked.
"Yep."Devon stood and wrapped an arm around my waist, as we made our way to the door.He made sure he had the room key and the map tucked into his pockets before we left the room.
On the way out the main entrance, Devon stopped."Can you point me to the Space Needle?"He asked the uniformed doorman.
"Yes, sir."the older man said politely."You're going to go to this street here."He pointed to the street that passed beside the hotel.He gave us detailed directions, smiling the whole time.I couldn't help but smile back.
"Thank you."Devon smiled as well.He wrapped his arm around my waist and we took off in the direction we'd been given.We took our time and admired the town as we walked.Even then, it didn't take us a half hour to get to the space needle.We stood in the large open space below the monument and craned our necks, looking up at the tower soaring over six hundred feet tall.We approached the ticket window at the base and saw that the restaurant had closed at 2:00 and wouldn't open for dinner until 5:00.I checked my watch, only 2:46, there was no way I'd last that long without eating.
"What do you want to do?"Devon looked down at me.
I turned to the girl manning the ticket booth."Is there anywhere nearby to eat?Sit down dining, not fast food."I asked.
"The closest thing you'll find that's sit down is Steamers Seafood.On the other side of the Monorail."She pointed in the direction."And if you’re interested in our SkyCity dining, I recommend calling ahead and making reservations."
"Thanks, so much.I'll keep that in mind."I said and turned back to Devon."How does seafood sound to you?"
"Fine by me, is that what you want?"
I turned back to the girl behind the glass."Thanks, we'll be back."I said before pulling Devon in the direction she'd indicated.
We easily found the little cafe and had some fresh seafood before heading back to the hotel.
"It never occurred to me that the restaurant wouldn't be open all day, or that we might need reservations."Devon said as we leisurely made our way back to the hotel.
"That's all right.I'm sure we'll have time to go back while we're here."
"True."He nodded, watching the people and traffic around us."What do you want to do with the rest of our evening?"
"Just go back to our room and relax.We got up early, and despite sleeping on the plane, I'm kind of sleepy.I thought I could test out that big tub in our bathroom while you call and let Baker know we're here."
Devon nodded."Sounds like a plan."
I headed for the bedroom and pushed the door nearly closed before starting to peel off my clothes.I dropped them into a pile outside the bathroom door, leaving the door open as I went inside and turned on the water to fill the over-sized tub.I had to go back into the bedroom to grab my toiletries bag.I pinned my hair up using a couple of long sticks out of the bag and set what I needed on the edge of the tub.
Glancing toward the door, I wondered how long Devon would be, before stepping into the tub and settling into the steaming water.I laid back and let the heat seep into my body relaxing it.When the tub was full, I used my toes to shut off the water and dropped my head back against the edge of the porcelain, enjoying the near weightless sensation of being surrounded by water.I let it the tension of the day drain away.
"Nick?"Devon called.I heard him push the bedroom door open, looking for me.
"In here."I called, letting him follow my voice.I looked into the mirror on the far wall and watched him come into the room.
"Do you need anything?"He asked.
"Not need, no."I answered.
"Do you want anything?"He changed the question slightly, continuing into the room until he was standing beside the tub.
I shifted so I could easily look at him instead of the mirror."You."I gave him a coy smile.
He smiled wolfishly back."That, I'll be happy to arrange.You want me to join you in there?"
"If you want."I said."But if you'd rather, you can turn on the screen and find something to watch, I shouldn't be much longer."
He let his eyes roam over my body, his view clear if a little distorted by the water."I'll wait, it'll only make it sweeter."He raised his brows in invitation before turning and heading out of the room.I heard the screen in the bedroom turn on, and his clothes rustle as he took them off, I hurried to finish my bath.
Once finished, I climbed out of the tub, dried off and headed into the bedroom to where Devon waited for me.Stepping into the room, I saw that he'd taken off his shoes and stripped out of his shirt and jeans and was laying on top of the king sized bed in just his boxer briefs.Remote in one hand, he'd been flipping through programs on the screen, looking for something to catch his interest.My movement caught his eye and his gaze flicked to me, then back to the screen briefly, before coming to rest on me again.He seemed to forget the screen was on as I approached the bed.
I let my eyes roam his body, down his well-toned chest to his taut abs, over his narrow hips and his muscular thighs.He'd kept up with the fitness training after he'd left the Army, and it showed.I approached the bed slowly, letting lust fill my eyes as they rose to meet his.I saw his eyes dip as he admired me with the same attention to detail that I'd given him.His gaze rose again and met mine, the heat smoldering in them only serving to inflame me more.
