It was coming up to my birthday and I couldn't help get excited this was going to be my 30th so was a very special occasion , birthdays were my 3rd favourite time of the year following Halloween and Christmas, this year I had told my partner that he could plan every detail.
Usually I wouldn't relinquish all control but this year I told myself I would be open to trying new things and the fact that I was curious as to what he was capable of.
It was here, my birthday had arrived, anticipation was building, I had spent weeks wondering what he had in mind for a special night, Joe, my boyfriend came home from work that evening with a big bunch of flowers and was dressed in a full suit with a bow tie, this was the first time I had ever seen him look so dashing so this made me get excited even more.
He greeted me, giving me the bunch of flowers, which I smelt and then placed on the kitchen counter, after laying them down gently, I felt Joe, grab me by the wrist, swing me round and into him placing his hands around my waist and pulling my waist into his and then placed a gentle kiss on my lips.
After a passionate kiss, he pulled back and looked at me and whispered to me, Happy Birthday my baby boy his breath hitting my lips making me taste his sweet breath wow it was like nothing I've felt before.
I stare at him with a smirk on my face eagerly awaiting for him to tell me what he's got in store for this special night, he looks at me and bites his lip trying to keep me in suspense but I start to tickle him into telling me.
It was starting to work, so I continued to tickle him some more, this than became too much for him because he begged me to stop, telling me that he would tell me.
I stopped and started getting fidgety and then he told me to sit down on the sofa, I did as asked and he asked me to close my eyes. As I sit there hearing him move around the house I began pondering the ideas of what the gifts were.
Then I hear the sound of the speakers coming on and the sound of music coming from them, I only needed a few seconds to recognise that it was a song from my favourite musical, "Masquerade" from Andrew Lloyd Webbers "Phantom of the Opera" he knows I have always been a big fan of this show, and have seen it on the stage a few times now.
Was that it? Yes it must be it made sense, he was taking me to see it again, that was why he was all dressed up in his finest wear, and he was taking me to the theatre. One question that made me curious was "why that song?" it wasn't my favourite and there is a main theme for the phantom.
Suddenly I hear Joe's voice telling me to open my eyes, as I scanned the room to look him I found him at the bedroom door in not only his suit but also a masquerade mask.
I look at him dumbfound as to what he had planned he pulled a suit bag from behind the wall and told me to put this on and he will be waiting in the kitchen for me, trusting in him I went into the bedroom to get dressed.
I open up to the door to the same song being played over and over again, in the kitchen, stood behind the bar was Joe and in front of his was 2 champagne glasses and a bottle of champagne.
He looked at me and just gasped, "You look amazing" he says with a glimmer in his eyes, I have never taken compliments very well so go shy and look to the floor.
He pop's open the bottle and pours me a glass, after handing the glass to me clinks together the glasses wishing me and happy birthday and leans in for another kiss.
We leave the apartment and head downstairs where there is a stretched black limousine parked out the front and a driver stood by the door holding it open, I turn to Joe who is stood by my side with his hand gently on my back and he nods slightly indicating that yes it is ours for the night.
I step into the limo and we head off to what I think is the theatre but as we continued on past all the turnings and streets that lead to it I become more confused and excited at the same time.
After a 20 minute drive we ended up driving down a long driveway and in the distant was this beautiful mansion all lit up with lights and a red carpet coming from the door all the way down with 2 men dressed in masks either side.
As the driver opened up the door I couldn't help but be taken back by this beautiful home, as Joe took my by the hand and led me up the carpet I was getting more and more anxious, not knowing what to expect I just carried on trying to relax.
We entered the main hall and was presented with another 2 glasses of champagne inside were just lots of men all dressed up in suits with their masks on also.
I felt very uncomfortable to begin with but after a few drinks things were beginning to become a bit more clearer, I started to remember back to a few months ago, lying in bed with Joe my head on his chest him asking me what fantasies I had and I remember telling him about having a partner swap, I never imagined he would actually go for it.
Excitement and anticipation came over me as I came to the realisation that this must be what it was, I started scanning the room looking for potential partners with whom we could swap when suddenly I just stopped and started eying up this one guy.
He was 6'0" slim, dark short brown hair, I eagerly waited for him to turn around, when he did I was mesmerised by his piercing blue eyes and his slight stubble, yes that was him, I wanted him and only him.
I thought I had better get my affairs in order so I asked Joe if this a swingers party to which he just asked "is that ok?" I smiled and just continued to stare back at this guy whom I wanted, took a sip of my drink and just agreed that it was fine and thanked him.
I decided to have more drinks, it was my birthday of course why shouldn't I, as I reached for the glass I saw someone else's hand also reaching for the same glass so pulled my hand in retraction and turned to apologise.
When I turned I noticed that it was him, this sexy, slim guy with the piercing blue eyes. I immediately just a just apologised and gestured that he have it and I will get another one in a moment, he gestured the same and insisted I have it, I thanked him for his generosity and we began to chat.
We decided to go for a walk and stepped out into the garden which was just through the double doors from the main hall as we stepped out, there was no one to be seen everyone was still inside the main hall so we decided to pull up a chair each and sit pool side.
With drinks in hand we sat there telling each other about ourselves, I asked which one was his boyfriend and he pointed to this 6'3'' tall guys with dark hair also and a slight beard and deep blue and grey eyes, the kind of come to bed eyes that just draw you in.
I raise my eyebrows and am just stunned by having sexual contact with this amazingly gorgeous couple, he draws my attention back to him by asking which one was my partner so I start to look for him but he was nowhere to be found. So I sat there beginning to describe him.
"I can't see him at the moment but he's 35, average height, dark hair a little long but not like shoulder length but a nice handful that makes you want to grab it and pull it back and these see blue eyes that you can't help but want to fall into, eyes that just leave you powerless to say no"
