She had always loved the tree lined road that lead to their cabin. It didn't matter that she had to drive the twenty or so miles twice a day to work. It was a small price to pay not to have to live in town.
Humming alone with the radio, she noticed that the gate to the driveway was open. That meant that he had gotten home before her and left the gate open as a welcoming.
After driving through the gate, she stopped the car. Walking slowly to the gate, enjoying the late afternoon sunshine, something caught her eye. Getting closer to the gate, she felt a huge smile light her face. On the gate lay a single wildrose. It's brilliant red color made the sunset pale in comparison.
Shutting the gate, picking up the rose, she walked slowly back to her car. Bringing the rose to her nose, she smelled the fragrance of sunshine, love, and yes, lust. She barely felt the sway of her skirt across her nylon covered legs, so entranced was she with the rose.
He watched her from the living room window. Smiling to himself, he thought that she was the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen. The reddish sunset glowing on her blond tressses, the long legs, and her total unawareness of herself was enough to bring him to his knees. The fact that she didn't realize her beauty made her more beautiful to him.
As he stepped out onto the porch, he watched her come to a stop and go through her routine. First, turning off the radio, then making sure the windows were up, looking around, grabbing her purse and breifcase. Opening the car door, he watched her foot come into view and saw the nylon clad ankle and calf. Smiling, he watched her get of the car, sling her purse on her shoulder and take her briefcase in her other hand.
She knew he was watching her. He was standing on the porch, ready to greet her. Slyly, she brought the rose to her lips and kissed it, looking right into his eyes. Then smiling with a wicked little smile, she drew her tongue across her lips and licked them, where the rose has rested just moments before.
As she walked up the walk to the steps, he decended to the middle of the steps. Taking her breifcase, smiling, not saying a word, he looked deeply into her bedroom blue eyes. Stopping on the step below him, looking at him, then taking his hand, she brought it to her lips. She placed a slow, soft, warm kiss in the palm of his hand, then placed it on her heart.
"Thank you" she said. It was enough. So simple, those two words, conveying so much meaning.
As she passed him, he softly slapped her ass. Turning around, smiling wickedly, she leaned over and placed a quick, demanding kiss upon his lips, turned around and continued jauntily into the house, smelling the rose along the way.
Whistling under his breath, carrying her briefcase, his lips still tingling from the kiss, he followed her into the house. Watching her long legs under the skirt, he knew what treasures lay hidden underneath.
"Here you go, love," he whispered as he handed her a drink.
Sipping her drink, smelling the rose, she sat watching him. She knew that something was on his mind, but what it was, she knew that she would have to wait.
