They had just enjoyed a delicious dinner together of medium-rare filet mignon, portabello mushrooms, golden potatoes with sour cream and chives, and grilled corn on the cob (from their garden.) A bottle of white wine complimented the meal.
It was time for dessert. He had seen strawberries in the refrigerator earlier and had asked if he could make something with them. She had told him that she had plans for those strawberries and to please not touch them. He had complied, only because he wanted to know what those plans of hers were. He stood up to clear the plates, when he noticed she was restlessly tapping her fork on the table.
"Is everything alright?" He questioned, coming around the table to her. He put his hand on top of hers to still the tapping and kissed the top of her head.
"Oh fine. Hey, do you mind clearing the table? I have something I have to do upstairs real quick."
"But, what about dessert?" She was never one to miss out on dessert. In fact, at times she chose dessert over dinner and would insist they have something sweet before. He loved sweets too, and it was no sacrifice to him to indulge beforehand.
"Dessert isn't ready yet." She stated, with an enigmatic smile, as she pushed her chair away from the table and ran out of the room. He heard her footsteps pounding up the stairs. He even thought she skipped a few steps, on her way up. He wondered at her erratic behavior.
He turned back to the task at hand and gathered the dishes, taking them to the sink. She tiptoed down, peeked in on him, grinned when she saw him occupied with loading the dishwasher, and tip-toed back up.
She had planned a night of naughty fun and play. White hot coils of desire spiraled through her, setting her on fire. She hurriedly stepped out of her black peasant skirt, shucked off the brown tunic-style blouse and kicked off her black sandals. Then she unhooked her brown satin bra, giving her nipples a quick pinch, before tossing them into the hamper. She quickly shimmied into her hot little number for the evening and then threw a robe over it.
