Friday night. It's been a long week. As she exits the shower, she listens closely for any sounds in the apartment. She would have expected him home from work by now, but she doesn't hear anything. She's a little bummed, hoping he would have surprised her in the shower, as he sometimes does. They hadn't been intimate in a week, and she was really looking forward to some time alone with her Boo-Boo-Bear. They moved in together about 6 months ago. Living with him has been everything she had hoped it would be. Though they are both working professionals, she worked remotely as a Software Developer, while he had an hour or more commute to the downtown law offices of Barcley, Emmit, Waltz, and Bryer. The law offices of B.E.W.B. She chuckles to herself, remembering the day he told her that he had received the offer. She teased him until he grabbed her, tickling her till she nearly peed her pants. That was the same weekend he proposed to her. He had rented this little cottage on the beach for a weekend get-away. He announced the news of a new job in the city while they sat around the fire pit, drinking champagne. They talked about what this unique opportunity entailed... he'd have to move closer to the city...would she come? It took her a hot second to decide. Of course, she would. She loved him more than anything. Then, he proposed to her. That was definitely not in his plan...he didn't even have a ring yet. But it was just...magical. That weekend they both got swept up in the love that they shared. It was a weekend she will never forget.
She towels herself off, then wraps it around her head, encasing her blonde curls. Looking in the partially fogged mirror, she examines herself. She is curvy at 5'2" and 150 lbs, with small, perky breasts, thick thighs, and a shapely ass. She tries to keep healthier by doing light cardio, bodyweight training, or yoga every morning. She squeezes her breasts, wishing they were bigger. He's never complained about them; in fact, he praises her breasts all the time. But she has always felt like they were too small for her frame. Her hands slide down her torso to her hips. She admires her little landing strip of blonde pubic hair, checking that she did a good job trimming in the shower where the lighting isn't as good. She turns and raises up on her toes to get a better glimpse of her ass. The squats are beginning to show definition here, her best asset. Apple-bottom is what others have used to describe its shape. She has always received compliments about her ass, and he can never seem to keep his hands off it. Except for lately, that is. It seemed to her that something had been missing for him lately. These week-long draughts of no sex have become more frequent. It has to be the job, she thinks to herself, chuckling... she's totally fuckable. Maybe she should just wait by the door, her ass in the air like a cat in heat, she half-jokingly ponders. That would get his attention for sure. Giggling at the image in her head, she wraps another towel around her body and exits the bathroom.
As she heads down the hallway, she realizes the bedroom door is closed but does not recall closing it. She jokes to herself that age 28 is a little early for Alzheimer's. When she opens the door, she finds him sitting on a portable massage table at the foot of the bed, still wearing his suit and tie. He smiles a big, albeit tired, smile at her.
"Surprise, baby!" he exclaims as she stands in the doorway with an inquisitive look.
"Wha...what is this, Boo?" she asks as she approaches to hug him.
"It's why I am a little late," he replies as they embrace. "I ordered this a week ago at that little New Age healing shop on Main. It came in a couple of days ago, and I wanted it for tonight."
"Tonight? Why tonight?" she asks, her head resting on his shoulder.
"Look, baby...I know things have been kind of...well, lame...between us lately." he begins to say.
"Now, wait a minute..." she interrupts and starts to pull away.
"Please, let me finish, baby," he says, pulling her tighter. "I am not blaming you. In fact, I take all the blame. And I have no excuse. None. To blame it on work is a weak cop-out. I have to do better, and...well, this massage table is my way of stepping it up."
He holds her by her shoulders in front of her to look her in the eyes.
"I am going to pamper you tonight, babe. I hope you can forgive me for my lack of attention. I will make up for the last few weeks as much as I can tonight. You deserve better, and I promise to try and be better." he says earnestly.
She feels tears welling up in her eyes. As she looks into his tired, grey eyes, she reaches out to stroke the five o'clock shadow on his chiseled jawline. She looks at him...his short-cut, usually neat, brown hair is tousled slightly, his eyes are a little puffy, and he could use a shave. Even though he looks a little ragged, his face is still strikingly handsome to her.
"Boo-Boo, I know you're tired. I can see it," she says as she removes his suit coat. "I accept your apology. Why don't you just rest tonight?"
"No, I've been planning this for over a week," he replies, allowing her to remove his coat. "You deserve this, and I want to give you what you deserve."
He turns to her and removes the towel from her head. Her blonde curls dangle to her shoulders, still damp from her shower.
"I have other surprises for you," he says as he unties his necktie. "Surprises I want you to feel, not see. Can I blindfold you with this?" he asks while slipping off his tie from his neck.
"Oooh, kinky...I like it." she giggles. "Yes!"
He wraps the necktie around her head, covering her eyes and securing it with a bow at the back of her head. He slips off her towel, exposing her body fully to him. With his hands in hers, he guides her to the edge of the massage table and helps her lay down on her stomach.
"Comfortable?" he asks. She replies with a yes and a nod, lying on her stomach, arms, and hands at her sides. "Relax while I get undressed and get things prepared."
She can hear him moving around the room...the rustling of clothes...a plastic bag. Then she can sense him near.
"Okay, now your pampering begins," he says.
He begins working his fingers through her curls, softly rubbing her scalp and massaging her head. Slowly he works down to her neck, then her shoulders, and rubs deep into her muscles. She feels any tension she had, melt away under his touch. He glides his hands up and down each of her arms, then back up to her shoulders, before working his way down her back. She lets out a little sigh.
