Linda had just finished her shower. Tiny rivulets of water ran down her body from shoulders to ankles as she stepped out of the tub onto the light green bathmat. She pulled a fluffy white towel from the towel bar and took a quick glance at the clock on the wall by the door β it was 7:15 am. After she patted most of the water from her body, she put the towel in the hamper. There was enough time for her to get ready for work without rushing through her routine.
She took a moment to admire her reflection in the large mirror on the wall. What she saw was an attractive Black woman, confident, sensual, and just downright beautiful. She took a moment to run her hands gently along the curves of her torso, and then picked up a bottle of body lotion from a narrow shelf over the sink.
While she watched in the mirror, she spread long, wide ribbons of lotion along her arms and torso. With a touch that was deliberate, yet gentle, she slowly rubbed it in. Arms, shoulders, midriff, back, breasts β no area was neglected. Her smooth, pecan-brown skin contrasted nicely with the pale yellow color of the lotion. The sight was short-lived as the lotion disappeared easily into her skin.
Her lower body was next, shapely hips, nicely rounded derriere and long, long legs. Palms and fingers gradually curved, then straightened as they massaged and smoothed the contours of each thigh, calf and ankle.
As always, her hands made a final long, slow caress along the sides of her torso. Now, her skin was soft and supple, with a subtle glow. It was a small, everyday personal indulgence that made her feel just a little prettier and sexier.
This morning, the routine also brought thoughts of her lover, Sam. No doubt, his hands would bring a new level of sensual pleasure to the daily ritual. He was quite skilled in the art of massage, and always applied the perfect degree of pressure to relieve any tense or kinked area of her body.
Thoughts of his hands on her body caused ripples of pleasure to run through her. Almost unconsciously, her hands tenderly cupped her firm, pear-shaped breasts. Her thumbs slowly traced the outlines of areolas that were the color of the finest dark chocolate. Instantly, the nipples rose up into tight, hard, sensitive nubs. She could almost hear Sam's murmurs of admiration as she imagined his hands on them. He always told her how they filled his hands perfectly; not too much, nor too little. She sighed at the memory.
Before the temptation to take the fantasy further became too strong, she wrapped her arms around herself in a hug. There definitely was no time for a quickie solo flight with her fingers. She wriggled, a quick 1-2-3 swivel that made her breasts jiggle saucily. Enough ego-boosting for one morning, she thought with a mental sigh. She needed to pick up the pace if she did not want to be late for work.
As she finished curling her black, shoulder-length hair, her cell phone rang. She picked it up from the narrow shelf over the sink. When she saw "Sam" on the screen, she smiled and flipped it open. "Hey, what's up?"
"Nothing much, just on my way to a meeting in the northwest suburbs, decided to give you a jingle. Tell me somethin' good, like, what're you wearing right now?"
"A towel β and nothing else," she said with a little smile. "I haven't decided what to wear yet. "
"Oooo, baby β that lovely body of yours β I want to see it now."
"Sure - want me to send you a pic over the phone, so you can look at it during the day when things get boring?"
"You naughty girl, thank you, but as much as I'd love that, no. Question - didn't you say that you lived across the street from a local supermarket?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Take a look out your bay window right now. Take the phone with you."
"Ok, hold on a minute. What's out there, and how do you know what's outside my window?"
"Just do it - you'll see. I'll wait."
Linda dropped the towel and phone on the bed. Quickly, she went to her closet, grabbed her red plush terry robe from the hook by the door and slipped into it. Barefoot, she went down the stairs to the living room, cell phone in hand. She walked over to the bay window and peered out between the slats of the wood blinds covering the right-hand section.
A loud gasp of astonishment came from her when she saw what was there. Sam was standing on the sidewalk in front of her house with his phone to his ear and a big grin on his face. He was a good-looking man from an Italian-Irish family, with a killer combination of black hair, blue eyes and sexy smile that drove her wild. His toned, muscular body was a pleasure for her to look at, no matter what he wore.
