"It's not everyday that I meet someone who entices me quite like you do," Rob told her then.
Kari responded quietly, "I'm not sure how I feel about your straightforwardness but I'll admit I do find you attractive."
Further discussion of the uneasy subject was postponed as their food arrived. Their morning meal was consumed in thoughtful silence. Rob paid the check and ushered Kari outside. He escorted her to the passenger side of his car and unlocked the door. He pulled it open and her hip brushed lightly against him as she moved to get in. At that moment, they both felt a connection so strong that they were compelled to turn and face each other. In the blink of an eye, Kari was surprised by his soft lips on her own. She melted into him as he crashed his mouth against hers with intensity unlike any she'd ever known. He pressed her up against the car as their kiss deepened. Kari was shocked by his sheer firmness pressed against her thigh. Finally they came to a point that they had to pause for breath.
It was in this breathy moment that Kari asked, "Only here for the weekend?"
"I know, I'm sorry," Rob replied his voice husky and thick with emotion.
"Don't be," Kari told him laying her fingers over his lips; "A weekend could become a very long time."
Then Kari kissed him lightly once more and jumped into the car before he had a chance to react. Rob blinked in astonishment at the plain and clear signal she'd given him before he walked around and got behind the wheel. Rob started the car without comment as he processed the last few minutes in his mind.
Kari laid her hand on his arm and he startled under the light touch, "I know what you're thinking, and the answer is ...yes." She told him softly.
"You're sure?" Rob returned.
"Absolutely," Kari replied as she trailed her arm off of his in a seductive manner.
Rob pulled the car out of the space carefully then drove the short drive back to where he was staying. Again they both remained silent as they reflected what was yet to occur. Rob stopped outside an end unit and opened her door for her. She got out and he led her to the door of his suite. He paused at the door to gaze questioningly at her to which she pulled his head towards her. She ran her tongue in the shell of his ear in encouragement as he fumbled to unlock the portal. At last he was able to succeed in his task.
As they entered the room, they turned towards each other. With a hunger that couldn't be sated, they kissed for what seemed like an eternity. The warm breath on Kari's neck made her realize that Rob was now hugging her tightly. After a few moments, she slowly pulled back trying to find some sort of expression in his eyes. Kari found his gaze to be very empty.
As Rob tried to speak, Kari laid a soft but trembling finger over his lips, "Rob, if you're not sure this is what you want to do, I'll understand."
Rob shook his head and then led Kari to the sofa where they sat down. His voice was laden with emotion when he began to speak. "Kari, you are unlike anyone I've ever met." Scrubbing his fingers through his hair, he stole another lip searing kiss before moving ahead with what he had to say, "Kari, I think things got out of hand at the restaurant earlier today. We are letting our sexual desires for each other come between our ability to think rationally. I want you as much as it seems you want me, but I guess what I'm trying to say is I want a whole lot more."
Kari took a moment to process his words before she asked, "A relationship? Are you saying that you want a relationship?"
"Maybe, I just don't want to ruin the chance for what could prove to be very beautiful," Rob tried to put into words what he felt in his heart.
"Oh Rob, I don't know if I could go through that," Kari shook her head starting to feel a little sad. "I mean, you're on the road constantly right; I'd see you maybe once or twice in a month if I was lucky."
"I understand," Rob managed as a lump of disappointment formed in his throat. "I shouldn't expect that of you." He paused and sighed deeply before he continued, "Maybe, you should just go."
"Maybe," Kari nodded and stood up to go out the door.
Her hand was on the knob preparing to turn it when she felt his hand on her shoulder.
"Kari, wait," Rob urged her.
"No Rob," Kari returned; "You're right, I should go."
And that was that, Kari left and closed the door behind her leaving Rob to ponder in the empty and decidedly now lonely motel room.
