The salt-and-peppered haired man read the text on his phone again. 'The door is unlocked, just come in when you get here.' Happiness tinged with nervousness filled his thoughts. With a smile on his face he opened the door to his truck and stepped out of the blazer. Laurie had invited him over for dinner for their third date. She swore she was a good cook and laughed that only her kids had ever complained about her cooking. Dinner only though, she had emphasized, no sleeping over.
Laurie's house sat at the end of a cul-de-sac and was as easy to find as she had indicated. Luckily her car was in the drive, he didn't need the embarrassment of walking into the wrong house. With a soft knock he pushed the door open and stepped into a medium sized living room. The entryway to the kitchen was to his left with a hallway that led deeper into the house to his right. "Hello? Anyone home? I'm here," he called into the emptiness.
A muffled voice from the hallway to his right answered him. "I'm still getting ready. Come on back."
Walking down the hall he went through the only open door and found himself in a room with a queen sized bed surrounded by two end tables, but no Laurie. "Are you sure? This room is empty."
"In here Shane, the door to your left."
Walking through the door he stopped abruptly. He had expected her to be brushing her hair or putting the finishing touches on her outfit for the night. Instead she lay submerged to her neck in steaming water with the shower curtain pulled far enough to cover everything but her head and a bit of her shoulders.
"Laurie, I don't think this qualifies as getting ready. This looks like a relaxing end of the night soak," he said sitting down on the closed lid of the toilet.
Laurie splashed a bit of water in his direction. "So sue me," she replied with a laugh, "It's been a very long day and a long hot bath sounded really good. You won't starve. Most of the food is ready to go. Just have to heat up the sauce and boil the noodles."
"Sauce and noodles huh. Sooo spaghetti?"
"Yeah, you said pasta was one of your favorites so we are having that with a salad. I picked up a bottle of wine too."
Shane crossed his legs and leaned against the back of the toilet. "Alright. I'll just wait here until you ready," he said craning his neck to see past the edge of the shower curtain.
One of Laurie's eyebrow's raised, "Oh you think so do you? Good thing I got rid of that see through curtain I had then."
Shane rolled his eyes, "Whatever, it's not like I've not seen it all already anyway." His hand snaked out quickly and pulled the curtain back revealing her full nakedness. Her hard nipples stood at attention as her full breasts crested the water. The image blazed across his mind as her right hand shot up to cover them while her left went between her legs.
"Hey now!! No peeking at the goods before dinner!"
Shane sighed and kept looking at her, the desire plain on his face.
Laurie laughed, "What's that sigh for? Pouting because I covered up everything?"
His reply was soft, barely above a whisper. "No, I'm just constantly amazed at how great you look. I love seeing every part of you, from your toes to your ears. It's all beautiful."
"Shut up!!" she yelled splashing him again, "I don't believe a word of that."
Shane slid from the toilet to the floor on his knees and leaned in closer. "You should," he replied before kissing her soft lips in a passion filled kiss. Their tongues intertwining around one another over and over. Her right hand rose from her breasts and rested upon the back of his head, pulling him to her. His own hand slipped into the water around her waist and slowly slid up and down softly against her ribs.
After what seemed an eternity she pulled away. "You are such amazing kisser, I can't believe you've not done it more." Her finger tips caressed her lips, remembering the feel of his lips on hers.
A sad smile crossed his face. "Me either. I guess I was just saving them all for you." He pulled his hand through the water across her midsection and out of the tub. Picking up the towel from the vanity he dried his hands off. Next he pulled his phone out of his pocket and launched the camera app. "I want a pic of you. You look too amazing not to immortalize."
Her hands instantly went back to her chest and between her legs. "I Don't Think So!" she said emphasizing each word.
"You can leave your hands like that if you want, its more of a sexy tease that way anyway. Please?"
"Fine. But I get to see it and if I don't like anything about it you have to delete it."
"Deal." Leaning back he framed her entire body into display of his phone. "Move your right hand down your chest a little. Your nipple is showing under your arm just a little." Her arm moved slightly. "Perfect. Now move your left arm up and closer to you. I want your tattoo in the shot." The tattoo he referred to was on her rib cage. A dandelion shedding its seeds that transformed into the names of her two kids that then became two birds flying away. The phone made a shutter sound as he pushed the button. Turning the screen around he showed it to her for approval.
"Ugh gross," she replied, "I don't know why you want to see that or think it's beautiful."
"It's not gross. It's amazing. I love looking at your body. The eyes, the nose, the lips, the breasts. Your large nipples when they are hard, your hips," he smiled, "That bare place between the hips... I could go on and on. YOU just need to accept that your the hottest forty-year old hottie I know," he said getting up and sitting on the toilet once again.
Laurie shook her head. "I'll never believe your lies. Now shoo," she waved him towards the door, "If you want to eat soon I need to finish my shower." The curtain closed with a flick of her wrist. From behind the curtain came the sound of the drain being released and the water emptying down the drain.
