The door slammed shut behind her and the loud sigh rang through the empty cottage as she irritably kicked off her shoes while throwing her bag and coat onto the sofa. The trip from London had been a bitch, the traffic heavy, sheeting rain, and flooded roads. The journey normally took anywhere between 2 to 2 ½ hours, today it had taken nearly four.
Emily went through to the kitchen where Jeannie Harris, (her guardian angel, but really someone whom she paid to keep an eye on the place while she was working in London), had lit the Agar stove and stuffed the fridge with fresh produce, even the wine rack had been filled. The next week would be perfect; she had the place to herself, away from the hustle and bustle of her job.
Taking a glass from the cupboard, she filled it with her favourite red and took a long sip of the wine, rolling it around in her mouth, allowing the aroma to permeate her nostrils and savouring its flavour to the full. Pacified now she made her way back to the living room where she saw that an open log fire had been laid in preparation. However, Emily was not quite ready to curl up on the sofa with her wine and a good book; she needed to wash off the dust of the city and a long hot soak in the luxury of her shower room beckoned.
Without wasting any more time she made her way there, shedding items of clothing on route until naked, like this, she felt freedom calling to her from across the void of time and space.
The shower room had been her pride and joy, tiled walls, floor and ceiling. When buying the cottage she had sought planning permission to pull down the existing bathroom and outside toilet, starting anew with a totally non-standard bathroom, with the inclusion of a Jacuzzi and a separate shower room.
The whole thing was utterly decadent and luxurious, Emily having spared no expense. Water for the shower came not from a single showerhead but from twenty separate jets set into the walls and ceiling, to bombard her body with anything from a soft spray, to powerful needles to massage as she required. Four extractor fans took care of the steam, unless she wanted a sauna, and drains with built-in pumps in each corner siphoned away the excess water. The room had been built having in mind the possibility of two, three or perhaps four people using it at the same time; she had simply closed her eyes when designing it, allowing her imagination to take flight.
Adjusting the lights to a low glow, and turning on the water for a soft and gentle spray at an ambient temperature, both exercises done from a panel set into the wall outside the shower room, she stepped through the door and into the steam and mist filled room. Bliss, she thought, just heavenly bliss.
As the water made little rivulets running down her body she raised her arms to ensure that nowhere was missed and in no time at all her body glistened with the droplets like the star filled Milky Way. Reaching over to the liquid soap dispenser Emily filled her hands with moisturising viscous fluid spreading it over her soft skin until producing a good lather.
Her hands worked with an easy familiarity, moving over her soft skin, the gentle curve of her breasts with their nipples becoming slightly erect, down over the slight swell of her stomach and so into the trimmed soft fur surrounding her pussy lips. Caressing herself with the soap she allowed her imagination to wander and closed her eyes as probing fingers slipped in between the folds of thickening pussy lips to find and fondle the clit that was now becoming erect.
Her mind wandered to the new tenant who had moved into the flat adjacent to hers close to Canary Wharf. She could see the Dome from her window, and from her balcony, where she grew a number of flowering plants, had glimpsed him walking about his flat naked. He had a good body, and once, she had even seen him with an erection, noting the shape and the lines of what was obviously a good-sized cock.
As the picture of it went through her mind Emily agitated her clit without realising it, climaxing very quickly she lifted her face towards the ceiling and cried out, the sound almost a howl of pleasure. The water immediately went into her mouth and caught up in her throat, making her choke.
As she regained control of herself Emily noticed that the lights had gone out, knowing that the lighting circuit was different from the shower, she believed that a fuse must have blown, and that it was not a power cut, so frequent deep in the countryside. She made no attempt to rush from the room to find out.
That another person might be inside her cottage did not enter her head until she heard the shower room door open, it was then that she realised that someone else had indeed entered, and began to feel a little afraid.
Unable to see properly through the steam, she had not realised how close the intruder was until she felt her wrist in a vice-like grip, and a hand across her mouth to stifle a scream that never came.
Emily was made of stern stuff and with her free hand balled into a fist began to rain blow after blow onto his head, at least, she thought it was a man because of the strength needed to hold onto her wrist. Although she was quite tall at 5' 11", he was much taller but still had to let go of her mouth to ward off the blows to his head.
She knew it would be a waste of time her shouting, the cottage stood in the middle of nowhere, which was precisely why she had chosen it. Only Jeannie Harris knew that Emily was here and she lived in the village about two miles away. There would be no farmers out working in this torrential rain, so she correctly judged that no one would or could come to her rescue.
With this established she leaned back against the wall of the shower, surrounded by darkness, quite frightened but nonetheless determined to resolve the situation in which she found herself.
"Right, now that you have decided to quieten down I am going to take my clothes off." The strong deep voice close to her ear surprised her, "the damp from the steam and water is ruining my attire, but maybe the dry cleaners can do something with it."
Bells started to ring, as Emily realised that she had heard this voice before, but where? She was at this time unable to pinpoint it. The fear of the situation lessened somewhat by the knowledge that she knew this man from somewhere, she found her voice suggesting that perhaps they should get out of the shower, but he replied saying, no, that she was to stay within his line of vision at all times.
She found his voice confusing, authoritative and commanding yet soft and somehow very sexy, and for some reason Emily felt compelled to obey, although unable to fathom why. So she decided to stay put, and remained standing where she was as the stranger removed his clothing, throwing them where he judged a corner of the room might be.
She knew that while he was taking off his trousers she could have escaped the shower room and phoned the police, but she wanted to know just who this man was. So far, he had said very little, certainly not enough to tell her about himself although he seemed to know something of her.
