As I watched her sleeping, her hair spread over the pillow around her and her breathing soft and easy, I resolved that I was going to give her the fantasy we had shared so often. Her mouth was slightly open, those soft lips parted just enough to see the white of her teeth, and I longed to kiss her. I would not allow myself to disturb her rest, she looked so warm and so peaceful it would have been selfish of me to wake her, but I smiled briefly as I imagined her kiss.
This would never do, I would waste half the morning sitting here staring and there were many preparations to be made if I was to give her the night I knew she wanted deep down. I stood up purposefully, and made my way downstairs. The birds were singing outside, it was still early enough for the sun to cast that pure morning light onto the dining table. Later, as the world began to wake and begin the daily grind to work the air would thicken with the pollen and pollutants, and the inane babble of traffic reports and pop music would disturb this natural harmony, but for now I could sit alone and enjoy the world around me. I sipped my tea, in between bites of the thick cut bread that was breakfast and thought rapidly. Taking a pen and paper, I began to write.
"Good morning, my love. When you read this, I'll be out and about, running some errands for us. Today is going to be your day, and I want it to be special for you, so you must do some things for me. I would like you to go to the health club in town and take advantage of the things I have booked for you. The tickets are in this envelope, and you are booked in for a seaweed wrap (which I hope is better than it sounds), a sauna and swim, a full body massage and to have your legs waxed. Your friend is meeting you there at 10 am, so you'll have someone to keep you company and have a bit of fun with. I expect you home by 6pm, so you have time for a shower and to get a little dressed up before we go out this evening. Have fun my sweet, I love you."
I signed the note, slipped it into the same envelope as the tickets and left it on the table. Shortly after, I left to begin putting the rest of the plan in motion.
As I drove to the adult shop, I was both excited and a little nervous. Although we'd both always had a terrific sex life, we had never had the need for toys and accessories that some people seem to live for; hence I had never been into a sex shop before in my life. Parking some distance away, I walked slowly across the car park towards it, trying to decide whether this was just a damn fool idea after all. Ah well, here goes nothing...
I needn't have worried. The shop was run by a middle-aged man, who seemed to notice my discomfort and did his best to put me at my ease. He showed me round, explained what a few of the more exotic items were for, and was obviously very proud of his wares. He talked openly about his customers without going into graphic detail, as he showed me though the videos and magazines section. Soon, I had lost the feeling that I was some seedy pervert engaged in the most sordid side of life, and was beginning to enjoy myself. I chose a lesbian video, a set of handcuffs and a blindfold and with a little help a vibrator that looked shockingly real.
I decided against the huge "Monster Cock - it really cums" and declined the offer of a whip and dog collar, those were just a little too far I felt. I realised the prices were somewhat high, but then I guess he did have a captive market as he was the only sex shop in town. Grinning ruefully to myself, I handed over my credit card. As I waited to sign the slip, he turned away briefly, and then slipped something into my bag when he turned back. "Just a little lubricant, sir, never hurts to keep it around." I glanced at my watch, and I had been in here over two hours, so I thanked him and was on my way.
Next was the awkward bit. I dialled the number on my mobile, and waited nervously for an answer. Finally a voice answered, and I told them who it was. A long conversation ensued as I explained what I wanted, how I wanted things to work, when things would happen etc. The response was enthusiastic, and we agreed to meet for lunch to discuss things in more detail.
The rest of the day was a blur. Lunch went well, and we parted full of expectation for tonight. I shopped for some lingerie for her, which is something I've never had a problem with. I know what I like, and I know what she likes in general, and I had some specific needs for tonight. A front fastening bra was a pre-requisite and some fairly small panties, which tied together at the sides. The material had to be satin or silk, something sensuous against the skin, and she must be able to feel enough through the material, so no padding or fancy decoration. I picked up a new shirt for myself, black silk, and some very snug boxer shorts, then hurried home to lay things out for her.
When she came downstairs, she looked ravishing. Her hair tumbled over her almost bare shoulders; her eyes sparkled under some very light make up. Her lips were the pink of a blushing rose, whilst the strappy dress she wore clung just enough to show me the full curves of her body. The hem of her dress came to just above the knee, and my eyes travelled down her shapely calves to the delicate shoes with the heels high enough to accentuate the shape of her legs. God, she was lovely, and my heart was pounding thinking of her. She looked beautiful, and I loved the thought that she was so demure now yet later she would hopefully be screaming in wild abandon and begging for everything.
We went out to the restaurant, and met up with some friends. They were both very much in form, the wine flowed freely and the conversation was often hilarious. There was a sexual current in the air, and you could feel the charge of things in every glancing contact. The conversation got more and more risquΓ©, with lots of innuendo and barely concealed flirting all round. She didn't know that I had set this up, that both of them were in on the act so to speak, but she was loving the attention. My friends had really made an effort, she looked ravishing in the classic little black dress and he was one of the best-groomed men I knew.
