The steamy shower made my skin tingle with a feeling of renewal and vigor. As I stepped from the master bathroom into the single candlelit bedroom, I could see as I opened the bathroom door, the steam from the shower as it rolled into the vast cooler bedroom. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the much darker room, as I ambled my way towards the dresser, toweling off the droplets from the shower. After completely drying off, I opened the drawer of the dresser for my lounging clothes.
The date my lover and I had just had was great! We dined on fantastic food, we drank vintage wine, and we had both danced our feet off to our favorite songs of classic rock and country tunes. And to top it off, we had taken a nice stroll through the park, stopping to listen to the night sounds as well as peering up into the vast black velvet skies, watching the brilliant dots of the stars as they winked at us. This night we shared as only true lovers can, sharing their souls, hearts and minds. But now we would share each other, by touch, sight, sound, taste, and smell.
She had already taken her refreshing shower while I attended to our refreshments and setting the ambiance of our lair. I lit one large cinnamon scented candle on the dresser at the far side of the big bedroom, which gave the room a very dim but warm glow. The stereo was loaded with several CDs of our different favorite songs that we loved to make love to and the bed was turned down, exposing the freshly laundered linen sheets.
As I prepared to dress in my loose fitting pajama pants, I was startled by her voice.
"Throw me your under shirt," she said in a soft seductive voice.
I began to squint through the dim light, trying to see where she was. I had thought that she was in the living room, relaxing on the couch, or reading the paperback book she had bought a couple of days ago, while I showered.
I finally was able to make out her shadow, trying desperately to retrace which direction her words had come from. She was sitting in the arm chair that was beside the bed. All I could make out was her crossed legs that were adorned with white nylons, and her bared breasts, nipples standing erect. The headboard of the bed was casting a shadow over the rest of her body where she sat as the flame of the candle flickered with the intermittent movement of air in the room.
The towel I had used was now lying on the end of the bed where I had tossed it before reaching for my PJs . I was standing there nude, facing her, as I reached for the undershirt, balled it up then tossed it, aiming between the only parts of her that I could see, her breasts and her legs. The white cotton undershirt disappeared into the darkness with her when I tossed it to her.
She leaned forward in the chair after capturing the shirt. I saw her lift the shirt that I had worn that evening up to her face. Then I heard as she breathed in deeply and moaned with delight.
"What are you doing?" I asked softly.
"Smelling You," she cooed.
As she was sitting forward in the chair, I noticed that she was not totally bare. She was wearing the button up shirt that I had worn earlier that evening. The shirt draped her shoulders, as the size difference was much greater than her frame and the shirt was opened in the front. I watched as she lowered the undershirt, only to replace it with the dress shirt. She lifted the side of the shirt up to her nose and drew in another deep breath again. It was as if she was comparing the different scents between the two garments. I felt tension begin to grow in my loins as I watched and heard her breath my scent, then coo softly after each breath.
