We are directed to the rear of the restaurant, away from the kitchen and entryway. The area is very dimly lit. As we are seated, a small single taper in the center of the table is lit by the hostess. The booth is quite large and semi-circular in shape. You slide in first and move around to the middle of the seat. I move in next to you with you on my right. The seat is padded and the covering is very soft to the touch. Almost a feeling of felt, but softer. The seat back is inclined to allow a more relaxed sitting position, if desired. The table top is made of a deep blue marble that does little to reflect the light of the single flame on its surface.
The waitress approaches and asks if we would like to start with drinks. We glance at each other and then you order a bottle of Riesling from the cellars. The waitress turns and leaves to get the wine. As she walks away, she literally disappears into the darkness. There is not enough light to see much past the far edge of the table. We investigate further and realize that we can not see anything really. No other tables or guests. No other lights or movements. The atmosphere of the restaurant demands a softness of voice, so there is very little sound that comes through the darkness. It is like we are completely alone, although we know we are in a room filled with people.
I lean over and whisper in your ear, "If we look up, would you expect to see stars?"
You reply, "It does feel like we are that isolated and alone, doesn't it?"
"Isolated maybe," I say, "but hardly alone." I place my mouth on your full lips. A very gentle but extremely electric kiss as I place my right hand on your left forearm and you lay your right hand against my left cheek. Your touch is so special. You break the spell when you realize the waitress is standing across the table opening the bottle of wine.
She pours a small amount into a glass and hands it to you. You taste the wine and with your approval the waitress pours two new glasses from the bottle and places them on the table in front of us. Next, the waitress asks if we would like to see the menu or if we are ready to order. I ask if you mind me ordering for us. Smiling, and with an inquisitive look on your face, you readily agree and I place the order with the waitress. After finishing, I return my gaze to you and you continue to look at me, wondering what I have just done.
"Trust me," I say with a big smile on my face.
You respond saying, "You know I do." The waitress turns and again disappears into the darkness, not more than five feet beyond the far edge of the table. Again, we seem to be alone, together. The soft glow from the candle is barely enough to illuminate your face and shoulders.
Everything below the top of the table is hidden by the shadows and lack of light. Even the outline of your black dress above the table line is difficult to discern from the surrounds. Oddly enough, your lips seem to be the most successful at attracting the light from the flame. I suspect that you have equal difficulty seeing me, being all dressed in black as well.
"You trust me?" I pose as a question this time.
To which you respond, "Of course I do."
"How much do you trust me?" I ask. I continue, "Do you trust me with your secrets, your thoughts, your body, and your life?"
"There is nothing I do not trust you with," you say.
"Then you are in for quite a night," I reply. And with that, I remove the black silk scarf from the inside pocket of the tux and fold it in half long-ways. I fold it again in the same direction. Again I continue, "Will you do anything I ask of you?"
"Anything," you whisper and then giggle.
I smile and hand you the scarf saying, "I want you to tie this over your eyes. Do you understand?"
"Yes," you reply, again in a whisper.
As you finish tying the scarf, the waitress brings the trays of food. She smiles seeing the blindfold covering your eyes. "Shall I set this up for ease of your reach sir?" she asks me.
"That would seem appropriate," I respond, exchanging smiles. I turn toward you in the seat. The waitress lights two additional tapers to aid in the identification of the food. The additional light does little to push back the darkness into the restaurant and again the waitress disappears quickly as she leaves us to each other and the food. I turn back to you and whisper in your ear, "I would love to feed you. You must be starving after the day you have had. Will you allow me to do this? And furthermore, is this something that you would like for me to do? Please be completely honest."
"Yes," you say. "Yes to both questions."
"Good," I continue. "There are a few rules you must follow. First, you must not use your hands to help you eat or drink. You can use them for anything else provided that you ask first. Otherwise, they should be placed on the seat next to you at all times. Next, I want you to be completely comfortable, but I want you facing me. However you want to make that happen is fine with me. If at any point, any part of this makes you uncomfortable you must tell me. Nothing about this is meant or desired to make you feel anything but physically satisfied and aroused. Does this still appeal to you?"
"Yes," you say.
"Excellent, please face me and make yourself comfortable," I whisper with a smile.
You rock onto your left hip and draw both legs up under your ass as you pivot on the seat to face me. You are now sitting, more or less on your left hip and your left calf. You seem to support yourself with your left arm and you place your right hand on the seat at your side. "You listen very well," I comment. You smile as I place my right hand close to your face to verify that you really can not see. I drop my hand and slide the pads of two fingertips across your chest, just above the top of your dress. Your skin is very soft and slightly cool. I remove my hand and raise it to the blindfold. I gently place a finger on the scarf above each of your eyes. You flinch slightly as you feel the pressure on the scarf. I slowly slide the fingers down and off the scarf, along the left side of your nose, down to your lips. I let the fingers drag more heavily across your bottom lip and you open your mouth. Such an inviting gesture. You seem to be poised, waiting for whatever comes next. I run my thumb along your bottom lip, gently back and forth. You continue holding your mouth open and you attempt to draw my thumb into your mouth with each pass. You seem to enjoy this as much as I. Reluctantly, I trace your lip one last time before breaking the contact between us.
The waitress has covered over half of the table with a variety of food. There are breads, cheeses, meats, seafood, pastas, fruits and desserts. All cut or fixed into bite size pieces. I grab several green grapes from the trays of fruit. I place one of the grapes against your left cheek. Your mouth opens as you turn your head toward the cool sensation on your skin. The grape rolls under my fingertips until it meets your lips. Smiling, you gently hold the grape between your lips before slowly sucking it into your mouth. I place another on your top lip. You tilt your head backwards and attempt to suck the grape out of my fingers. Since I refuse to let go of the grape, you take it between your teeth and bite it in two. Some of the juices run down your chin. I crush the remaining half of the grape between my fingers while holding it over your lips. More juice runs down your chin.
