He always sent her an e-mail right at the middle of the month and it always left her gasping for breath and wet. He had one day, to liven up their sex life had told her to look out for an e-mail from him and she had obediently. He had appeared at home at lunchtime and they had done it in the sitting room of their flat. After that first time it had become a sort of habit though she was now prepared for it, often in her satin nightie waiting for him in their bed and he just threw off his clothes and jumped into bedside her. Both always looked forward to it, as it was exciting since they had a limited amount of time before he should be back at his office, with lunch over.
For once she didn't want him to find her in the normal place and instead prepared herself a bath, putting in a few drops of oil into the hot water as well as scattering flower petals on the surface. She sank into the water to wait, her hair up so it didn't get wet. She closed her eyes in expectation as she heard the front door open and then close. She heard her husband call out, "Claire, are you in?"
She remained quiet though she wanted to giggle. She heard his footsteps fade as he headed away from the ajar bathroom door and into their bedroom. She heard then return as well and pause outside the bathroom door.
He could smell the bath oils Claire liked to use and he frowned as he peered round the door, asking as he did, "What are you doing in there?"
