I stepped out of the shower feeling refreshed after such a stressful day. I reached for my sensual amber scented body lotion, because I knew Karl loved the scent of it on me. I smoothed it generously over my freshly shaven legs. I rubbed some more on my arms, elbows and shoulders. I squeezed some into my hand and rubbed my hands together to massage it all over my breasts, belly and hips. I then bent forward a little and reached back to smooth more of the lotion all over my behind. I squeezed just a little bit onto my fingers and stroked it into the tender skin around my sex which was now smooth as silk.
I pulled the towel off of my head and shook my head gently as my straight auburn hair fell below my shoulders. I ran a comb through and left it wet for now. I slipped my pink terry cloth bath robe back on and secured the belt. I smoothed a little facial moisturizer over my face and throat and hung up the towels.
I decided to check my e-mail quickly before getting dressed, thinking I had plenty of time before Karl got home. With that out of the way, I stepped into the kitchen for one last check to make sure that I had everything prepared and ready to go into the oven for our dinner.
The chicken had been marinating in a sauce of butter, honey and curry, and even uncooked, it smelt delicious. The broccoli was in the steamer ready to go, and the rice was in the pot, it just needed to be turned on. The salad was made and in the in the fridge.
I checked the table setting one last time. The beautiful flowers he brought me yesterday looked perfect on the table as their reflection shone in the wine glasses. I placed the bottle of wine I had picked up on my way home on the table, with the corkscrew next to it.
I had some sparkling mineral water chilling in the fridge as well, just then I remembered I needed to slice the lime. I laid the cutting board down on the counter and went to the fridge to retrieve a lime which was in the crisper at the very bottom.
Karl came home just at that moment when I was bent over with my head in the fridge. I was startled by his hand patting my behind as his fingers hooked around the cloth belt of my robe. Before I could turn, he pulled me to him and enveloped me in his arms. I closed my eyes and leaned back into him turning my head to rest my cheek against his shoulder. I drew in a long slow breath as I savored this moment in his arms which is my favorite place to be.
I twisted myself around so I could get my arms around him. The palm of his hand slowly slid up my back, to my neck, and with spread fingers easing into my still damp hair, he simply closed his hand making me tingle all over as his lips found mine. He drove his tongue into my mouth making me hunger for him; I was always hungry for him. He kissed me with a passion felt in every cell of my body.
The backs of my knees were still tingling when he pulled away and said with a smile, "How was your day love?"
I was suddenly very aware of myself standing in front of him in nothing but my pink bath robe, my hair damp and no make up on. I glanced at the clock on the microwave. He was only ten minutes early, I should have been dressed and had myself fixed up for him when he got home.
I felt the warmth in my cheeks as the blood rose in them. I stammered, "I...I'm sorry... the time must have got away from me, I'm not even dressed or anything."
Karl looked me up and down as he shook his head with a smirk and chuckled softly.
With my eyes slightly lowered I walked past him to go and put myself together before cooking our meal. I was only two steps into the living room before he spun around and reached out his arm as his fingers caught the belt of my robe again, halting me.
