If there is one thing I love about hotels, especially the expensive hotels my wife has such a taste for, its a good sauna. I love the dry heat that seeps into your skin. I love the smell of the wood as it bakes around you. I love the peace and quiet.
Currently we're alone in the sauna. Sweat trickles down my forehead and splashes onto the towel covering my lap in a tiny bead. Its unusual to have a nude sauna in a hotel, but to be honest it hasn't been a big deal so far. In fact, my wife and I have been the only ones to use it. The space is small, four benches in total. Two on each side, one high and one low.
I can hear my wife's steady breathing on the bench above and behind me. She has fallen asleep in the heat, her body covered with a towel, and I take the opportunity to relax a little more. We've been fighting more and more recently and, to be honest, I'd rather she sleep than interact with me any more today. Even though we are only feet apart, I'm enjoying having some space from her, so to speak.
I close my eyes and run a large hand over my face, streaking the beads of sweat on my forehead down past my neat black beard and off into the hot air of the sauna. I'm sitting on the lower bench on the same side as my wife, arms lying on the shelf above.
Just as I shift the towel from my lap, leaving me completely exposed, the door opens. A man comes in, without even looking at me, and makes straight for the higher bench on the opposite side. He lies down without a second thought for you, the woman following him. We're left looking at each other and I drop my eyes away from you, aware that seeing a stranger so naked might make some uncomfortable.
Still, I get just enough of a look at you to know you're definitely worth sneaking some glances at.
