What else can a gentleman do?

"Certainly," Hunter said with a smile. "It's right this way." Sondra smiled and walked beside him as he strode out of the plaza.

"Thanks for everything," she said with a breathy catch in her voice. "You've been wonderful."

"My pleasure," Hunter said with a smile. "So when are you getting married?"

"Ummm...next spring...this trip is kind of an engagement present from my parents. Kinda weird, huh? I mean having your parents along on a trip with your fiance?" She tossed her hair and looked at him with a coquettish smile.

"Depends. Are you all sharing the same room?" She looked shocked for a moment then started to giggle as she realised he was teasing.

"That would be too weird, wouldn't it? I love your sense of humour." She touched his arm for a moment and shuddered, her feet stumbling slightly. Hunter reached out and held her arms, as if to prevent her from falling. She gave a sharp gasp, then shook her head as she steadied herself.

"I'm...I'm...such a klutz..." she stammered. "I don't know what's wrong with me today. You're probably thinking I'm the typical dumb blonde." She bit her lip and looked at him with anxious eyes as he released her to let her stand on her own.

"Hardly. You seem like a very bright young woman," he laughed, and reached out to touch her cheek. She quivered again, her eyes closing for a moment. She turned her face slightly, rubbing her cheek against his fingers with a barely audible moan. When he took his hand away she shook herself, as if trying to clear her head.

"I really need that restroom," she murmured. "Are we close?"

"Very," Hunter told her as he pointed to a set of lobby doors. "We're right here." As he opened the doors for her he could smell the warm fecund aroma of her arousal.

He followed her into the lobby, pointing the way to an alcove near the elevators.

"Right in there," he told her, placing a hand in the small of her back and feeling her lithe body tremble at his touch.
