The inn was not far, only 45 minutes from their home. That was why they selected it. Ted and Georgette were leaving their youngest daughter alone for the weekend for the first time. Kate would be leaving for college soon and old enough to stay by herself, as long as the neighbors were keeping an eye things.
Like many B&B's, the inn was in a 200 year old plantation manor house that had been rebuilt by the owners. This one had several outbuildings, which provided privacy and seclusion. Ted and Georgette were experienced B&Bers who only stayed at inns with outbuildings. The last thing they wanted to have happen was to be awakened by their neighbors or worse yet, wake their neighbors up. Ted and Georgette's weekends away tended to be "energetic" and could easily wake up neighbors.
Since they were arriving late, actually 30 minutes before dinner ended, they decided to have dinner then check into their room. The dining room was in the manor house and almost empty. Dinner was a simple fare but delicious. Conversation was fantastic, not what one would call erotic, but exciting enough for two people who had little time to be husband and wife as opposed to mom and dad, manager or volunteer coordinator. Life's pressures melted away. Ted and Georgette talked about painting rooms in their house, paying for college, how to pay for weddings, etc.. etc., etc., ... everything but what they had planned for the weekend. That, as of yet, was unsettled.
Ted told how he had to stay very busy at work that day to keep his mind off the weekend or he would have had a raging hard-on all day. Georgette burst out laughing at the picture of Ted in front of the board using his erection as a pointer. "Sales were rock solid this quarter ..."
With dinner complete, Ted and Georgette finally checked into their cottage, a two-story building. The ground floor was a sitting room with a daybed, a couple of rocking chairs and a huge wood burning fireplace. The bedroom and bath were upstairs. The bedroom had a king bed and a gas fireplace. The bath was a little disappointing. The tub was advertised as a large Jacuzzi but it was actually only large enough for one.
When the luggage was carried inside and the clothes and other things (they kept a trunk of their play things within reach) were put away, Ted and Georgette decided to make it an early night. After all, it had been a long day (after a very busy night packing and cleaning). However, it was only 9:00 and neither wanted to go to sleep just yet. So, they changed into some "sleeping" clothes, Georgette into a shear (enough) purple nightshirt and Ted into a pair of silk boxer shorts. They lay on the bed with Georgette's head on Ted's stomach.
"Did you pack that book of 'dirty' stories?" asked Georgette.
"Sure did," replied Ted. "Want to hear a bedtime story or two?"
