I only had a few hours to get everything set up. I had been planning this for months, wanting everything to be perfect for your special day. You had just left for town and I know you were wondering why I was so anxious for you to get going. You were going to stock up on supplies in preparation for the storm that was predicted for the weekend. I could hardly contain my excitement as I shooed you out the door.
I watched as your truck disappeared around the bend in the driveway then burst into action. I had everything hidden in the back of the supply closet under the camping gear we hadn't used since last summer. I had been gathering everything here and there, sneaking it in without you noticing. Candles, scented massage oils, bubble bath, a special sheet for the bed and various other toys for our entertainment.
I hurried to prepare the bedroom, placing the candles about the loft, on the railing and on dressers. I placed the toys and other accessories close to the bed, ready for our later entertainment.
Then to the kitchen to prepare a simple meal for us. Leaving the food in the refrigerator and setting everything else up for us at the coffee table in front of the fire place. More candles placed on the mantle and tables around the room and logs ready to be lit in the fireplace. I put a special CD in the stereo that I had mixed just for tonight and then stood back to inspect my work. Everything was perfect for a night of pampering. Now it was time to get myself ready.
I hopped in the shower, quickly readying myself for you. Using your favorite scented shampoo and body wash and later after drying off, lotion of the same scent all over my body. Soft, subtle scent, knowing it would drive your senses wild. Keeping my makeup light and my hair down, I dressed quickly, knowing you could be home at any moment.
I lit all of the candles in the bathroom and in the loft then lit the candles I had placed on each step as I went back downstairs. I moved through the livingroom, lighting candles and the fire, turning on the stereo.
Everything was perfect, and just in time as I heard you coming up the drive. I rushed to put out the food and wine, placing it all on the coffee table. One last check around the room as I hear you coming up the front steps. As you open the door, I slowly turn to face you.
I smile gently at the look of surprise on your face. "Happy Birthday lover." I walk toward you, putting a little extra sway into my walk drawing your attention to how I'm dressed. Wearing only an aqua green calf length dress, thin straps and body hugging, it was clear that there was nothing underneath but me.
I take your hand in mine, leading you into the room, watching you as you take in all that I've done. The music playing softly in the background, the crackle of the fire, the food and wine, the candles all around the room, leading up the stairs to what will soon be a place of pure decadence.
Looking back to me, you grin and say "Well now! You have been busy while I was gone. We've got supplies to haul in but I don't think you're dressed for the occasion!"
We both chuckle a little and I say, "Oh I think the supplies can wait until morning. It's cold enough out to keep things fresh." Knowing this went against every bone in your body, I pulled you further into the room. "I promise, you won't regret waiting." With a wink I help you out of your coat and lead you to the couch.
"Sit down baby and let me pamper you. I've been planning this for so long and I want you to enjoy every moment that this night offers."
