” Dean came out of the lavatory drying his hands and extended his right one to shake hands. “Great to finally meet you!” he said. “We’ve bot... been looking forward to this for a long time.” He reached down and played with the hard package that was bulging through his chino trousers. Dean was slender, slightly balding, with piercing blue eyes and stood about 6’. “I took the liberty of ordering from room service…are you hungry?” he asked gesturing towards a small table filled with.
