As Lilly stepped through the door the warmth hit her like a ton of bricks, her cheeks reddening instantly.
As her bag hit the floor she stood in the afterglow of a full days work, her shoulders drooping and her eyelids heavy as she felt them begin to close. She stood there silently.
Suddenly there was a hand upon her own, her eyes shot open and she was met with the sight of her lover, smiling to her, holding her hand tightly, his deepened eyes a chasm of blue gleaming at her knowingly. Her face began to crack into an unstoppable smile, the force drawing her cheeks up something which she just could not control, he had such power over her and she loved it.
His hand met her chin as his cool palm seemed to soothe the very essence of her being. Feeling herself blushing deeper her mouth began to open, her words being drawn from inside her throat stopped instantly by the touch of his lips upon hers.
Eric's hand found its way to Lilly's waist and he used it to wind her body in to his own like a fish on a line. She felt her front held tight against his and her heart could not help but flutter, missing beats like a bad drummer as she knew that her bad day would melt into nothing, as this promised to be one hell of a night!
Taking her hand in his own Eric broke the kiss, Lilly once more opening her mouth to speak found herself once again undercut by Eric, putting his finger to his lips wordlessly, his grin mischievous as he led her towards the stairs.
Lilly found herself drawn through the house, this gorgeous man holding her hand, she felt like a child, but at the same time she knew he would treat her like a woman.
Stopping suddenly outside the bathroom Eric turned to her once more, kneeling before her he took her ankle into his hand, raising it gently as he removed first her right and then her left shoe, standing and this time stepping behind her she felt his hand grip her shoulder firmly, gently pushing her forward.
As the door into the bathroom swung open and Lilly stepped inside the warm steam came wrapping around her like a duvet, her smile overtaking her again as she took in the scene before her.
The dark room felt like a lagoon as the rippling bathwater reflecting the flickering light from the scented candles sent randomised patterns to any and all surfaces it could find. The steam packing the small cosy room was illuminated eerily by the scented candles flickering brazenly upon the windowsill. The scent emanating from the candles met her nostrils, intoxicating her senses, she loved the smell they gave off, Eric used them frequently on special occasions.
Lilly shivered as she stepped over the threshold feeling her lovers hand tighten lightly on her shoulder she put her hand atop his own, squeezing it back lightly as she felt his other arm wrap around her waist pulling her back into his chest.
Lilly let out a sigh as she felt her lovers warm hand invade lightly under the hem of her shirt, his fingertips manipulating her stomach with the briefest caress as he worked it around the flesh, circling, caressing, raking his fingers lightly, his randomised patterns keeping her breathe on the edge of her lips.
Before long Eric let go of his tired lover, walking around in front of her he told her to undress as he busied himself to one side, Lilly did as she was asked. Unbuttoning her shirt she pulled the garment quickly from her shoulders, throwing it into a pile on the floor as her hands quickly found her skirt. Thumbs tucked under the material she pushed the article of clothing swiftly down her silky legs, the material sending a shrill along her spine as she felt it slide down her skin.
Reaching behind herself Lilly could hear Eric pouring liquid as she worked on the clasp of her bra, her fingers working to push the material together before pulling the tiny hooks asunder, Eric turned to her with a small flute of red wine in his hand just in time to see the garment fall from her chest, exposing the perfection beneath.
Stood now in her socks and panties Lilly ran her hands down her thighs, never taking her eyes from his as her thumbs dug gently under the silky material of her underwear. The material slid down her thighs a little, before she found her hands wavering to a single command, 'Stop'.
Stood like a statue, her hands on her hips, thumbs tucked into her panties Lilly found herself paralysed by Eric's voice, weakened by his deep blue eyes, the shimmering pools sending a gaze of rapture directly into her core. As Eric strode towards her she found herself breathing heavily looking up into his crystal gaze, this time his hand took her own as he brought it up from her hip to his own mouth, kissing the velvety flesh of her hand before pushing the flute into it.
He found her other hand, never removing his eyes from her own as he pulled it gently from her hip. Eric began to kneel slowly, as he began to shrink out of view Lilly's eyes clamped together as her heart began to pace. She had never been able to shake the nerves when she found herself so exposed to him like this, they had been together for years and yet she still felt like a girl on her first date. As Eric knelt before his lover he took hold of her hips and grazed his lips lightly against her stomach kissing the soft blemished skin. Feeling her stomach muscles tighten at the sudden caress, Lilly's hands shot out to grip the back of his head, steadying herself as her own head fell backwards.
Eric took a hold of his lover's panties, slowly tugging them down, kissing the elegant flesh as it was revealed to him. With the grace and patience of a saint he worked the light frilly material all the way down, past her thighs and along her silky legs.
God how he loved those legs, so beautiful standing there proudly, slightly muscular with the deepest flurry of creamy skin, hairless and smooth as a metal surface.
He could roam his fingertips up and down them forever and still feel breathless from their touch.
As the material dropped to her ankles Lilly felt a lump catch in her throat, the warm mist hitting her now exposed pubic region, she felt a rush of embarrassment and her hands flew to her hips hesitating with a contemplation to cover herself, but she fought back the urge as Eric looked up into her eyes patiently, a knowing smile flickering across the corner of his mouth.
Lilly could feel moisture between her legs and could not work out whether it was the condensation from the air around her...or her own dew. She felt lips on her cleft, closing her eyes as her cheeks reddened madly...deeply, but the lips ceased with a kiss, and Eric stood to look into her eyes once more.
'How do you feel Angel?' He asked with such calmness that Lilly could feel the hairs on the back of her neck twitch with every word from his lips.
'Im O.K.' She stammered gently, it had been such a long time since he had done anything like this for her it seemed that she could not remember how to react, sure they had sex on a regular basis but this was different, this was special.
'Just relax baby and enjoy it, I love you!' He proclaimed, punctuating his love with a feathered kiss to her brow, drawing a smile to Lilly's lips. He knew how to hold her heart in his palm and pamper it so lovingly that the very essence of her being seemed to gleam with pride; she loved his effect on her.
Taking Lilly's hand Eric led her to the small bath tub, smiling at her and kissing her cheek once more he helped her step up and slide gently into the warm water. Her whole body goose bumping as the warmth seemed to swallow her whole, she looked up at him smiling.
'These are the kind of treats I like after a long day at work' she mumbled with a wink, reaching up and taking control for the first time tonight she took Eric's cheek in her hand guiding his lips to her own and pressing into him, her tongue sliding out to massage along his. Eric dropped his defences for a moment, letting her take control of the kiss before plucking himself reluctantly back from her face and grasping her hand in his own, smiling down into her.
