Phil had plenty of time that day to get everything prepared. He stopped off at the supermarket and selected ingredients for their meal, plus a few other things. Then headed back home, to give the house a good tidy and put clean linen on the bed.
Later in the afternoon, he prepared the food as far as possible. He had thought carefully about the meal, which he wanted to be flavoursome and interesting, but quick to prepare, as he didn't want to spend half the evening cooking. Above, it needed to be light - a big, stodgy meal could be a bit of a passion-killer.
So he settled for a smoked salmon starter, lemon pepper chicken breast strips with rice and a rocket side, with pears poached in red wine for dessert. With a bottle of Prosecco and some Buds chilling in the fridge, he was all set.
When he had shaved and showered, he changed into a casual shirt and jeans, then set the table, ready for Debbie's imminent arrival. He just had time to draw the curtains in the lounge, switch on the table lamps and put music on before he heard a knock on the door. He hurried to open it and here she was, with a beaming smile, clutching a small overnight bag and a bottle of white wine.
'Come on in,' he said, closing the door behind her. She put the wine and her bag down, then reached up and gave him a hug and a long kiss. Phil held her at arm's length and appreciatively looked her up and down. She looked absolutely lovely... her hair was shining, and her make-up looked perfect. She was wearing a colourful cotton peasant skirt and sandals, with a simple white top with a scooped neck. The bumps of her nipples suggested that she wasn't wearing a bra.
'Wow, you look gorgeous! Can we just skip dinner and go straight to bed?' he asked, laughing.
'Plenty of time for that later,' she replied, smiling. He dropped her bag into the bedroom, then they headed to the kitchen, where the dining table was set at one end.
'Sit yourself down, while I get you a drink,' he said, giving her another kiss. After putting her wine into the fridge, he opened the Prosecco and poured two glasses.
'Welcome!' he said, simply, raising his glass to hers. They chatted for a few minutes, then Phil brought the starters out of the fridge. 'I didn't think to ask about your likes and dislikes, so I hope you'll be ok with what I've done,' he said.
'Phil, I'm a single mum. A takeaway is a treat for me, so I'm happy to eat anything!'
Phil put the chicken and rice on to cook, then they tucked into their starters, sipping the ice-cold Prosecco. The main course was soon ready, so he topped up their glasses and served up.
'Gosh, that looks lovely! Thank you so much,' she said, smiling brightly at him.
The main course was soon devoured, and Phil served up the poached pears with a spoonful of vanilla ice cream.
'You're spoiling me!' Debbie said, reaching across the table to squeeze his hand.
'My pleasure,' said Phil. He genuinely enjoyed cooking a nice meal - especially for someone as lovely as her. When they had finished, Phil poured the last of the Prosecco and gathered up the plates.
'Let me wash up, please,' said Debbie, heading for the sink. As a single dad with a mortgage, Phil's budget hadn't extended to a dishwasher.
'Ok, we can do it together,' he agreed. There were only a few things and it wouldn't take long. While she was standing at the sink, he moved behind her and held her round her tiny waist. He nuzzled his face into her hair and kissed her neck. She sighed, moving her head over to welcome his kiss.
After they had cleared up, they took a glass of wine through to the lounge and settled on the sofa. They started chatting about all kinds of things, holding hands, and kissing all the while. They both felt completely as ease in each other's company and before long, the conversation drifted round to sex.
'That was so erotic last night, you know,' Phil said, softly. 'You really are a proper little tiger, aren't you?' he added, grinning.
Debbie replied, 'Mmm, but it takes the right person to bring it out. You are a good lover and you made me feel amazing. I'm not even going to ask how you learned to do all those things, because I probably wouldn't like the answer!'
'Much the same goes for you,' Phil answered. 'You are amazing in bed, so sensual and exciting. I don't want to know about your previous relationships, really... we're in the here and now and we should just enjoy that, without complicating it.'
'I'll drink to that!' said Debbie, raising her glass.
Changing the subject slightly, Phil said, 'By the way, I bought a couple of things today. I got some pads which go under the bedsheet. They're meant for kids who might wet the bed, but they might help with, er, your little condition! Otherwise, we're going to end up with a mountain of soggy towels to wash!'
Debbie giggled. 'What else?' she asked.
'These,' said Phil, reaching down beside the sofa. 'I couldn't get nipple clamps at short notice, but I thought these might work.'
He showed her a couple of plastic clothes pegs. They had a fairly strong spring but were fitted with soft rubber pads where they pressed together. Debbie took one and closed it over a finger. She gasped slightly and said 'Oh, wow! We'll give them a try later, for sure!'
