On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . a red silk thong.
Actually, she had it delivered by a smiling delivery boy, because she was out of town on business. And there was a note:
"Lynne - Sorry I'm not there to open presents on Christmas. But you can wear this on Epiphany. A."
Anne was brought up a good Catholic girl. She was the one who had told me that the 12 days of Christmas are actually the days between Christmas and Epiphany, and NOT the 12 days leading up to Christmas. Twelve more days . . . and she would be home . . .
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . two black fishnet thigh-highs, topped with red bows.
The note: "Wear these with the red thong."
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ... three AAA batteries.
There was no note.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ... four long, red satin ribbons.
No note, but they made my heart flutter. We'd only been together six months. Right before she went out of town, we'd been looking at magazines together, and there was a bondage scene I couldn't stop looking at . . . a woman all tied up in satin ribbons. I told Anne I would like her to tie me to the bed, blindfolded.
"But I don't think I want it to hurt," I told her. "I just like the idea of being out of control of the situation."
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . five dirty magazines.
The note: "To keep you in the mood."
I spent the evening looking through them, and couldn't help rubbing myself until I came when I looked at the angel and devil photo spread. A frail-looking blonde in a white corset, with white feathery wings, knelt with her hands tied behind her back, her face almost to the floor, her smooth little ass pointed upward. A tall, muscular goth woman in a black vinyl corset and black shimmering horns knelt behind her, wearing a huge black strap-on dildo. In the first photo, the devil was spanking the angel. In the next, the Devil was bent forward, licking the angel's shaved pussy, and in the third the devil's dildo was buried in the Angel's pussy, the Devil grasping the Angel's bound wrists from behind.
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . a bright red vibrator with six settings.
It required three AAA batteries.
The third setting was my favorite: the vibration started very low, hardly any sensation at all, and then gradually crescendoed to an intense buzz that was almost painful, then dropped off to nothing.
It went VERY well with the magazines.
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . seven red pillar candles.
They smelled heavenly. I set them up on the bedside table, making sure a pack of matches was handy.
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . an eight inch dildo of marbled red and black plastic.
It was capable of standing up on it's own. I stood it up on the dresser next to the neatly folded thong panties, thigh-highs, and red ribbons. I spent the whole day walking around with a tingling cunt, wondering how I could wait five more days for Anne to come back.
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . nine erotic stories, printed out on heavy parchment paper, and tied with a red ribbon. I stayed up late reading all nine, accompanied by my new vibrator.
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . a size ten lace-up bodice of black silk printed with tiny red rosebuds.
I tried it on in the bathroom; it fit perfectly.
I put it on the dresser with the other gifts, except the vibrator, which I was starting to spend an AWFUL lot of time with.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . .. a huge black silk scarf, with a pattern of very suggestive red orchid blossoms. There were, of course, eleven of them.
It was definitely big enough to use as a blindfold.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me . . . twelve black Calla lilies, their color the deepest purple-red.
I put the vase on the dresser.
The note: "I'll be home by 8:00. Be ready for me."
I could hardly do anything all day. I wanted to curl up in bed with the stories and the vibrator, but I also wanted to delay gratification so I could share it with Anne. So I tried to distract myself by vacuuming under the couch cushions, washing the shower curtain, baking a chocolate cake. Nothing worked . . . the day was unbearably long.
Finally, dark fell, and at 6:00 I decided to start preparing for her arrival. I ran a hot bath, scented with my favorite oils, and soaked in the scented heat while imagining Anne's fingers and mouth all over me.
I shaved my legs meticulously.
I smoothed body butter over my whole body, and sat naked on a towel filing my nails while I waited for it to soak in.
I put on my stockings one at a time, slowly, as if Anne was there watching me, smoothing them and fussing until they were just so. Then the red thong, settling it over my wide hips, where it showed up bright against my pale skin. I laced myself in to the corset, and couldn't help admiring the way it caused my breasts to look even larger and rounder than usual, giving me cleavage that could stop traffic.
I left my long, dark hair loose, falling down my back in shining waves.
At 8:00 exactly I heard the door open, and Anne's suitcases hitting the floor. I switched off the bathroom light after one last glance at myself in the mirror, then moved in to the bedroom to light the candles on the bedside table.
