CHAPTER 49: Finally alone...

Randol
We touch down in New York, and a sleeping Celeste finally picks her head up off my shoulder. "Good morning, sunshine."
"Mmm, morning? Don't you mean afternoon?"
"Yeah, well, it just sounds better the way I said it. I booked us a hotel in Manhattan. I figured that would make it easier to house hunt."
"Why?"
"I live in Brooklyn, so there are certain times when the whole place is a parking lot. If we get a narrow window to rush out and see something, we could walk from the hotel if we need to."
"Well, aren't you smart."
"Hahah, not really. Just used to it, I guess." When the plane reaches the gate we go to baggage claim and get our bags. I hail a taxi and give him the hotel address. About an hour later we are walking into our suite.
"Jesus, you weren't exaggerating about the traffic, were you?" Celeste dumps all her stuff on the floor and flops onto the bed.
"No, I was not. I contacted the realtor while you were in the bathroom at the airport. She doesn't have anything to show us until tomorrow, so you can rest for tonight."
"Good. I just want to get some dinner and take a shower." She gets off the bed and stands in front of me with her hands on her hips. "So do I get to have dinner at one of Randol Woods's world - famous restaurants?"
I look her up and down far more obviously than I probably should have, but I can't help myself. I step toward her and replace her hands with my own on her hips. A smile lights up her face, and I pull her body against mine. "We have been surrounded by people for almost two weeks. Is there anything I can do to convince you to just stay in tonight? Alone with me?"
She looks down at the almost nonexistent space between us. When she raises her head to look into my eyes, she moves closer destroying that small space. I feel a shudder run through me when she presses her breasts against my chest. She tips her chin up like she is asking for a kiss. I bend to her, but just before I steal her lips she grabs my chin. She holds my lips just a hair from hers. I can feel her breath against them, as she whispers to me, "Room service..." I can feel her smiling before I even open my eyes and straighten up. I roll my eyes, and pick her up while she squeals.
"You are evil." She can't stop giggling now, but I swallow it up with a deep passionate kiss. I hear her moan against my mouth. I set her down slowly and pull back from the kiss. "If room service getsme a night alone with you, I am all for it. Let me get you the menu." We unpack while we wait on our food. When it finally gets there, we devour it. We were apparently starving, and didn't even realize it.
"That was so good. It wasn't as good as your food, but not bad for a hotel."
"Well, thank you. I'm glad you like my food." She smiles at me from under her lashes, and my groin tingles.
"I'm going to go take a shower. Wanna find us a movie to watch?"
"You sure you don't need any help in the shower?"
"Hahah, I think I can handle it." She disappears into the bathroom, and shuts the door. I can hear the shower running, and I want to be in it so bad. I'll just find a movie to distract myself. I flip through all the channels and finally settle on Die Hard. I hear the shower stop about fifteen minutes into it.
"Hey, Celeste? Is Die Hard okay? It's one of my favorites." She apparently comes into the room without me noticing because she answers from right behind the couch.
"I love that movie." I jump a little when I hear her and spin around. There she is. Close enough to touch. Naked. With water dripping down her body. "Sorry. I forgot my clothes." I must have had a weird look on my face while I was staring at her, because she started to laugh.
I grab her hand and walk her around the couch to straddle my lap. "You are so beautiful." She leans down and kisses me like I'm heading to war tomorrow. It feels amazing to think that she wants me just as much as I want her. I pull her deeper into the kiss with my fingers tangled in her long, wet hair. I feel her nails raking up my ribs and then down my chest. She suddenly grabs my chin and turns my face away. Her hot tongue travels from my collarbone all the way up my neck. She stops a few times to kiss and nip at my neck, before continuing to my ear. She sucks at my earlobe, and I moan. "Ah, shit." My hands travel up her thighs to grab her ass. I squeeze and pull her to me. What happened next told me I had met my match.
