It is a crisp and clear autumn day. The sky is an uninterrupted pale crystal blue, the sea as still as it ever can be. We have enjoyed a light lunch and shared a bottle of wine; talk of life and love and laughter. We are walking now over crunch of pebbles and slightest shush of waves β arm-in βarm, sensing each other's warmth through the cold air. By the time we reach the hotel it is cold enough for our breath to mist and to feel warm blood coursing under chilling skin β reminding us that we are essential β alive!
Once back in the warmth of our room, the afternoon sun washing through the window, I take off my walking boots and socks and shed my jumper. Just in my jeans and t-shirt I run you a warmth bath as you undress, anticipating the feel of the soft cotton hotel gown against your nakedness. When you come into the bathroom and try to hug me I step away, lead your hands back down to your sides, untie the robe and slip it off your shoulders. I love seeing you stand naked before me. I tie back your long brown hair and help you step into the bath. You feel its warmth engulf you. I take the washcloth (sponges are too scratchy for what I have in mind), soak it in the warm water and lace it with that gorgeous-smelling wash.
Without words, I gently wash away the salt and sea from your face, I raise first one arm and then the other and the warmth and softness of the cloth sensitises each pore. Then each leg gets the same treatment from thigh to tip-of-each-toe. I raise you up a little in the bath and your shoulders and collar bones receive the same tender touch. You lie back down and arch your back a little, now breasts and stomach have their turn of softness, until the warm, soft cloth makes its way down below your belly β down and further down until its softness meets your softness and you shudder with the sensation. And you are clean. My hands have done all of the work, but you haven't yet felt my skin on your skin. I help you out of the bath and you smell simply lovely. I have a towel warm and waiting for you and I wrap you in it and make sure you are dry.
Silently, I lay you face-down on the still-sunlit bed. You are warmed to the core. NOW it is time for the featherest of touches. I start on the nape of your neck β you know my hands are there, but the touch is almost imperceptible. Shoulders next β grazing the skin with my fingertips β down each arm β goose-pimples raising marking out where my fingers have nearly somehow touched you. I turn my attention to your feet now β the same lightest of touches β and up from calf to thigh and up and up and... not quite yet. Those feather-light fingers are up and down your spine, over and across your back, and that special place between rib-cage and hips at the tender sides of your torso β "it tickles", you giggle; but I repeat for a little while. Before it becomes unbearable I move down to your glorious buttocks β each pore seems to transform into a nerve-ending until I am gently parting your thighs and grazing (am I really?) your most sensitive place. I do not ask you to turn around β I am not that cruel!!
