Now for the past 25 years I've never had a problem choosing Christmas presents for my wife Helen, clothes, chocolates, perfume, even lingerie have always been well received.
However, Helen always complained that she never knew what to buy me. I always told her that being married to such a wonderful woman was the best present I could ever hope to have.
This year proved to be very different. I noticed that I never heard the usual "I don't know what to get you for Christmas" line from Helen.
Helen works part-time and has Mondays and Tuesdays off work. As usual I was at work on Monday 17th December when my phone buzzed. I saw it was a message "Meet me tonight at the Royal Victoria Hotel, bar, 7.30, Glass of White Wine. The kids are stopping over at my mums, and I've got you an early Christmas present."
I work late on Mondays, so it was 6pm when I got home. The house was empty so clearly Helen was already at the hotel, hopefully getting herself dressed in some sexy lingerie in one of the rooms. She had timed things perfectly as I was able to grab a shower, slip into some smart causal clothes and grab a taxi to the hotel.
I was really looking forward to being able to make love to her without having to worry about the kids walking in us or disturbing them and was convinced that a passionate hotel room romp was my early present.
With it being the Monday before Christmas, the hotel bar was quiet, the lull before mad Friday. There were just a couple of businessmen who looked about my age and 2 younger lads, I assumed that they were probably tradesman working in town, but they were dressed smartly in shirts so were probably planning on trying to pull some local girls later. I'm sure they looked in my direction and smiled as I walked in.
There was no sign of the person I really wanted to see but remembering the message that I received earlier Helen clearly intended me to arrive first. So as instructed I got our drinks in and then sat down, after a few moments a hand touched my shoulder, it was Helen.
She looked stunning dressed in a glittery black skirt, red sheer blouse under which her black lace bra was clearly visible, black tights (or as I was hoping for stockings) and her Christian Louboutin heels. I recognised the skirt but not the blouse, which was open sufficiently to show off her cleavage and with it being effectively see through it was a much more daring outfit than what she would usually wear.
Helen's face was perfectly made up, it was clear that she had spent a considerable amount of time getting ready for tonight. I also noticed that she didn't have a coat or a jacket so clearly she wasn't planning on leaving the hotel.
With her being stood next to me I was able to put my arm around her thighs and felt the familiar feel of stocking tops and a suspender belt. It certainly was turning out to be a fantastic Christmas present.
Her brown hair flowed over her shoulders. "Shhh" she said as she sat opposite. "I have arranged an early Christmas present, something you have always wanted".
"Wow!" I replied, "You look amazing."
"Thanks for the compliment, it certainly was a treat to have time to get ready in peace. I hope you like the outfit. I thought black, red and glitter was perfect for Christmas."
Helen replied, at the same time she crossed her legs causing her skirt to ride up and show a hint of her stocking tops.
My eyes were transfixed on her sexy legs, "I see you've dressed to impress."
Smiling back at me Helen purred, "I thought me in stockings would be exactly what you would want in your Christmas stocking."
She continued smiling at me, while taking a large swig of her wine. We have rarely discussed sexual fantasies but once before we had kids we were on holiday and she got chatted up by a stranger while I was in a big queue at the bar, the stranger disappeared when I got back but we has amazing sex that night and in the heat of the moment I let slip that one of my fantasies would be to watch her in a threesome.
I questioned her, "So what is it you've got me for Christmas then?"
She sat without a flicker and drained her wine glass, her beautiful blue eyes twinkled "I will explain later, but for now just follow me."
I got up and followed her out of the bar towards the lifts, I could tell that Helen had attracted the attention of all the men in the bar and I bet they would all have swapped places with me in a heartbeat.
