While we were in Germany, Mandi got a large dose of European styles, food, and an even bigger dose of European thinking. She realized that some of the sexual mores of Europeans were very different from the way she grew up back home.
Her introduction into partying with another couple was her first foray into more moderate sexual play that she probably would never indulge in when we were in the states. Her scene with the aerobics instructor was as kinky as she had ever gotten. She was also much less jealous of me in Europe, and as she later told me, she had a couple of flings of her own.
All this talk about attitude, though, leads to a birthday present she gave me the second year we were there. As I have mentioned before, Mandi was physically incapable of doing anal without being pretty well drunk and semi-passed out. She knew I loved this and we would occasionally try, and usually fail.
Since I had kept my doggin' around to a few select ladies and she didn't know about any of it, she planned a surprise for my birthday. I had initially wanted to take a trip to the French Riviera, Nice or Cannes, but she couldn't get away from work. This left her with a dilemma that she solved, much to my surprise.
Mandi started teasing me for about a month ahead of my birthday, asking me what I wanted, and then if I mentioned something told me, "No, that's not right. Try again." It got pretty frustrating, wondering what she had up her sleeve. She seemed awfully eager to tease me to no ends as well. Once during the teasing she mentioned if I was man enough for two women. I scoffed and asked why. She casually dropped the subject, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
I blew it off as some more posturing on her part. Little did I know how true this was to become. As it got closer to my birthday, the teasing eased off, so I started trying to get her to tell me what she was getting me. I guessed at all kinds of things, with everything being derisively thrown back at me.
"You'll never guess in a thousand years, but when I tell you, you'll just shit," she continually replied.
I finally quit asking about a week prior to my birthday. A couple of days ahead of "My Day" she took me out to dinner at a restaurant that served Greek foods, actually run and staffed by Greeks. The food was wonderful. The souvlaki was incredible. They served a shot of Ouzo as soon as you sat down to order.
I thought this was my birthday present, but Mandi was slyly quiet and hinted that I shouldn't get so quick to assume. This tease was getting maddening. That night when we were in bed, I had just finished eating her to a couple of sheet pulling, sweat drenched orgasms. As I eased up her body I began to tease her with about half my cock, knowing she almost hated when I did this, especially when she was really horny.
The oral sex had her almost begging for me to push all my cock into her immediately. But I held back, teasing her until I whispered that I wasn't going anywhere further until she told me what I was getting for my birthday. This got me nowhere, as she laughed, clung to my ass and let me continue poking her with half a cock until I couldn't stand it myself, and plunged full length.
She got another orgasm in about 5 strokes, and I was right behind her. So much for my little tease! After I finished, she cuddled against me, chuckling under her breath.
"I guess you're happy with yourself?" I asked.
"Well, I quite enjoyed myself. As many times as you eat my pussy, I can't ever get enough," she told me quietly. "I also kicked your ass when you were trying to tease me, too!"
I groaned, knowing she was right. I wondered what teasing would come next. But she didn't tease. She casually slipped out of bed and disappeared into the apartment. I heard her walking around with a purpose, and was happy when she returned with a couple of beers.
Mandi handed me a beer and the opener. I popped mine, took hers, and opened it. We sat on the bed and quietly sipped our beers. I slowly stroked her back, occasionally teasing a breast and nipple. She responded with a smile, and let me explore as I wanted. When I ducked a hand into her crotch, she gently pushed my hand away.
"Too soon," she admonished.
I wasn't up for anything else so I gently stroked her back and ass. She eased down on the bed and made quiet noises of satisfaction as she continued sipping her beer. We calmed down, mellowed down, and just enjoyed the quiet.
Mandi broke the silence with a question, asking, "You did get your birthday off work, didn't you?"
I quickly replied, "Yes. What does that have to do with my present?"
She just smiled a little, devilish, eye twinkling smile, and said, "When you get home from work tomorrow, I will give you your present, but you can't use it until your birthday."
This made me even more curious now. What in the world could she get me and give me ahead of time that I couldn't use until my birthday? I thought of tickets to some event, or maybe a river cruise, maybe a concert, but was at a loss. I decided to give up and wait.
"I give up," I blurted out. "But this better be good."
Retaining her devilish smile, she quipped, "You're gonna shit!"
We went to bed after a little TV, and I dropped off almost immediately. Work the next day was excruciating. I was still at a loss to guess what my present was. My mind was racing all day and I couldn't wait to get home. I finally called Big Joe and asked him if I could take off early. He was in a jolly mood and told me to split.
It didn't do me any good. Mandi was still at work. I beat her home. I rummaged around the house in case she might have hidden a clue or something. I was almost going nuts when she finally got home. As soon as she hit the door, she took one look at my face and started laughing.
"I bet you came home early and did a shakedown of the house," she said amusedly.
(NOTE: My first 6 years in the military were spent as a maximum security correctional officer, so when I "shook a place down" there was nothing left to hide)
"Why would I do that?" I demurred innocently.
"Don't bullshit me. You didn't find anything either, did you?" she laughed.
"Okay, okay, you got me. Now give it up," I whined.
She laughed again, and commanded, "Get me a cold beer first, and help me with my shoes."
I decided to play along, and fetched the beer, then removed her shoes and socks, and for good measure, rubbed her tired feet.
"Oh yeah," she moaned, "I'll give you about a half an hour to stop."
"Sorry, but I turn into a pumpkin in 30 minutes," I joked.
Mandi chuckled and finally said, "Hand me my purse."
She took the bag from me and began to dig around. I thought she was looking for her cigarettes, when she suddenly looked aghast and cried, "Oh shit! Your present's missing."
"Real funny," I relied sarcastically.
"It would be funny if I were joking. I'm not," she whispered.
The look on her face told me a lot. Mandi jumped to her feet, grabbed the bag, and emptied it on the dining room table. She rummaged through all the flotsam and jetsam that ordinarily occupied her purse. She searched the zipper pockets inside and out. Nothing!
Finally, she made a mad dash to our coat schränk, which I had checked during my search, and after a few seconds, exclaimed, "Gotcha!"
I had the feeling she was playing me again. I had searched all the coats and jackets in that schränk, finding nothing. But she persisted, smiling from ear to ear. She strutted back into the living room defiantly, grabbed her beer, and took a long draw. Reaching into her sweater pocket, she extracted her cigarettes and with exceeding patience, lit one.
She had what appeared to be a business card in her hand, purple on one side and pink on the other. She casually smoked her cigarette, grabbed another drink of beer, and walked over to the Cleopatra lounger and proceeded to lay back and get comfortable. When she looked at me, finally, she noticed my patience was wearing thin.
She finally asked, "Are you ready to shit your pants?"
"Sure," I snapped sarcastically, "I can't wait."
In spite of my mood, she smiled at me, handed me the business card, and said, "Happy birthday, baby."
I looked at the card carefully. It had a German name and address, with hearts and other decorations on it. On the pink side was handwritten, "Elga und Domine" and below was written "vier stunden." I turned the card over and noticed for the first time that it was the name of an erotic business. I thought she had decided we would have an afternoon at some sort of spa that catered to couples, but was still curious about why there were two names written on the back and the words for "4 hours."
I looked at Mandi and she was grinning ear to ear.
"Happy birthday," she proudly exclaimed.
"Thank you," I replied. "Is this some erotic spa we are going to get massages and we can fool around in some exotic scenario?"
