It was 7pm...the street lights had just begun to flicker and warm in the distance, yet the only light that shown upon the calm waters was dim lighting provided by the well-placed lanterns along the small dock. He had surely put much thought into this encounter, keeping it hidden from me for weeks now...all except for the time of arrival. His instructions were clear, seeing as he had taken the time to write them upon the masculine stationary that was strategically placed upon my vanity. "Good morning, my jewel, you are to meet me at the lake...7pm...SHARP. Your attire may only consist of the white linen dress that is hanging in your closet...NOTHING MORE. A lite sweater is allowed if you feel a chill." I could almost feel him smirking while writing his last statement. He knew very well that my nipples would slice frozen meat by the time the night was over, especially since I was not allowed a bra.
I tugged the lilac sweater tighter about me as I made my way from my car and towards the dock. I caught myself squinting in attempt to see him in the distance to no avail, which made me sigh to myself. This would be most interesting, for his mind works in the most wonderfully delightful ways. I was lucky enough that the temperature was tolerable, at least until the breeze brushed across the water. Finally reaching the dock, I carefully scanned the area for any sign of him, my senses only catching a whiff of his cologne upon the breeze which made me perk and only search more fervently with my eyes. It was still rather dark, only a dim illumination cast across the dock enough for you to see where you were walking. A shuffle was heard, my gaze lifting to see his shadow at the end of the dock. His presence always demanded attention, his posture almost perfect as he seemed to watch me in silence for a few moments.
