“Do you trust me?”
Tatiana looked at her boyfriend, Darin and asked again, “Do you trust me?”
He looked at her for a full millisecond and said “Of course, sweetie. Why else would I let you know where I stay?”
She swatted at him with one of the pillows from the couch and giggled.
“You nut, I’m being serious. I want to try something, but it will only work if you trust me completely.”
Darin studied her face and said, “I trust you, Ty. What is it that you want to try?”
“It’s a surprise. Just wait until Friday night.”
Darin could hardly drive the ten miles to Tatiana’s house Friday night. He had racked his brain all day trying to figure out what she could have planned. She had called him before he left work and gave him some instructions.
“Sweetie, please make sure that your head and face is freshly shaved. I know that you normally do it on Saturday mornings, but could you make an exception for me this once? Also, don’t eat or drink anything before you come. I’ll see you at eight. Love you.”
What in the world was that all about? He pulled up to her house and he didn’t see anything unusual out there. When she greeted him at the door, all she had on was a black kimono. Her medium length locks were twisted up and held in place with black chopsticks. She pulled him into her arms and she had on a new scent. Was it jasmine?
“Hi sweetie. I have a wonderful evening planned for us”, she said. “ I want you to go into the guest bedroom and take off your clothes. Put on the robe that is there and come back in here.”
With that, she walked into the kitchen. Darin complied with her wishes since he was so anxious to see what she planned.
When he walked into the living room, she was carrying a tray covered with a white towel.
“Sit on the couch. I will come for you in a minute.”
Tatiana walked into her bedroom and shut the door before he could see anything. She quickly returned and placed a blindfold on his eyes.
“Trust me.” was all she said as she led him into the bedroom.
When he crossed the threshold, he could hear some sort of exotic music. He could pick up faint sounds of a guitar and some sort of wind instrument… was it flute? He knew that there were candles burning and they all had a different scent, but they somehow fit. He could make out the lavender and chamomile but there was a stronger one there. It was a sort of musky scent. She guided him to a table and disrobed him.
“Climb onto the table and lay on your stomach.”
He did as he was instructed. She covered his butt with a soft fluffy towel. It felt as if she had just pulled it from the dryer. He heard her pull something closer to the table and she turned the music up only slightly.
“Relax your body”, she said softly.
