“See you later guys! Have fun at the movie.” Amanda called as the trio piled into the Wagoneer.

With a huge sigh she leaned into the closing door. Not wanting a repeat of this afternoon’s interruption, Lee had left to go run some errands and would be back after Mother and the boys were safely watching the movie.

Deciding to make it romantic Amanda went upstairs and started a bath for her and set out some scented candles. A quick soak and some well-placed perfume would add a nice touch. After all, she had advised her mother to take the boys for ice cream after the movie. Since time was no longer of the essence, she had decided to make this occasion with her husband something really special. Even if all they had were a couple of hours.

Settling into the scented water Amanda relaxed for the first time in days. A couple of minutes had passed when the phone rang, jarring Amanda from her musings.

Annoyed at the interruption she quickly exited the bath and stepped into her room to grab the phone. Hoping against hope that it was a solicitor and easy to get rid of. “Hello,” she listened to the caller speak, then answered, “I’ll meet you in the lobby in thirty minutes.” Dropping the receiver into place she quickly toweled dry and grabbed a nice outfit out of the closet. “Work of all things. The world must be conspiring against us. We can’t even manage ten minutes alone without some responsibility coming up. Now we have to go meet one of Lee’s snitches down at the Marriott. By the time this is done Mother and the boys will be home.”

After paying the taxi driver Amanda strolled into the lobby. Looking around for Lee, she finally spotted him over by a large potted fern next to the elevators. Quickly making her way to his side, she looked for the possible contact he was supposed to be meeting here. “Hi, sorry I’m late it started raining really hard.”

“Well, your not too late Frank isn’t here yet, at least I haven’t seen him. He left a message for me through the Agency switchboard saying that he had a lead on something big, that I would want to know about. He just better be here soon so we can leave. Maybe the entire night won’t be a waste then.”

Scanning the crowd, a medium height gentleman with black hair approached them and hit the button to go up on the elevator. “Lee, follow me up to room 512 in five minutes.” Lee gave Frank a slight nod as the elevator dinged its arrival.

Lacing their fingers, Lee led Amanda over to the small bar at the front of the hotel. “Just in case anyone is watching. Frank is usually a pretty good guy but I want you to stay by the door after we go in. Hopefully this won’t take that long.”

Leaving the bar a couple of minutes later Lee and Amanda got on the elevator and headed for the fifth floor. Quickly locating the correct room Lee rapped on the door and waited for Frank to answer. Moments later the door opened and Frank motioned them in. Lee sat on the small couch while Amanda stood at the door. “What do you have for me, Frank?”

Forty-five minutes later they were finally saying good-bye to Frank. The storm outside had worsened and could be heard clearly inside the hotel. Punching the button to go down Lee felt his right jacket pocket to make sure the information was safely concealed. “What time should everyone be home?”

Titling her head slightly to the side she smiled, “If we hurry home, we should have at least an hour, if not a little more. Think that will work?”

The elevator arrived and they stepped in, “We’ll make it work. I don’t think I’ll last much longer.”

The doors had barely closed when a large clap of thunder could be heard and with it everything went dark. “Damn, of all my ill fated luck. That power had better come back and quickly.” Lee growled.

Annoyed at the situation Amanda leaned into Lee’s embrace, ”You know how these things can be. I hope we get out soon but, who knows, we could be here awhile.”

Running his hands up and down her back, Lee started pressing light kisses across her features. Returning the caresses Amanda pulled Lee closer until she captured his lips with her own. Reaching inside Amanda’s jacket Lee stroked her breasts and rolled the nipple under his fingertips. Not one to have her hands be idle Amanda caressed Lee’s behind slipping her hands to his front. Moans of pleasure became the only sound heard as Lee slid his hand inside her blouse to capture her bare breast. Opening a couple of buttons Lee released her lips and captured her nipple between his lips. Threading her fingers through Lee’s hair she urged him closer.

The elevator gave a slight jerk and the lights popped back on, suddenly. The brightness and movement of the elevator brought them out of their passion-glazed state. Lee deftly rebuttoned his wife’s blouse and ran his fingers through his mused hair. “ I wonder if the hotel is booked solid for tonight. Maybe we can get a room for a short time. There’s no way we will make it home in time now. If they are not home already.” Amanda mused as she leaned against Lee’s side.

Well, that all for me.
