It was a chilly winter day and I was deeply engrossed in the program I was tweaking, successfully ignoring the howling wind rattling my windows, when my telephone rang. I picked it up without checking the caller ID and was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice of my wife, Kelly.
"Hi honey, how are you doing?" she inquired.
"I'm fine. Just trying to get a couple more things done on the program so I can show it to the client tomorrow. What's up?" I replied.
"I wanted to make sure you don't make any plans for Friday night," she told me. "I'm planning a little something for your birthday and I want to celebrate it on the weekend."
I told her that was fine, and we chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up. My birthday wasn't actually until the following Monday, five days from now, but celebrating on a Monday is kind of lame, so I was perfectly happy to bend the weekend to that purpose. Besides, I was glad that Kelly was making some special plans in advance. Sometimes, with the holidays so close, I feel like my birthday becomes an afterthought and not an event in its own right. Of course, as Kelly well knows, the main thing I want for my birthday is a hot night of sex with her going all out to drive me wild. Unfortunately, the past two years in a row had been fairly weak in that regard, with her on her period and tired from work both years. But this year she had finished her period last weekend, so I knew that wouldn't hold us back.
The next two days were a blur of long hours working on the software, and then an intense meeting where the client scrutinized every detail and function of it before pronouncing it "excellent". After many hours of hard programming, and days of client needs analysis, I was finally ready to send them a final invoice and move on to my next project. Before I knew it, Friday evening was upon us.
Kelly told me to put on a nice pair of slacks and a merino wool sweater, as we were going out on the town for dinner and dancing. I complied quickly, dressing in a gray wool pair of pants and a fine black turtleneck sweater I had picked up last year, finishing it off with a high gloss black belt and pair of buckled shoes. Kelly likes this combination because it has a very urban European look to it. After that, it was my job to simply stay out of the way while she took her time getting ready.
Finally, about 45 minutes later, Kelly emerged from her ministrations. Showered, legs shaved, made-up and dressed, she made quite an entrance. Actually, I smelled her before she opened the door. She had liberally put on my favorite perfume and it instantly tickled my senses. I like it because it is the perfect all-woman, sexy, classy, but not over-the-top scent for an evening out; she likes it because every time she wears it, half a dozen men ask her what it is so they can buy it for their wives/girlfriends.
Kelly was wearing a relatively short black skirt with a high slit on the right hip, and a tight lacy top that allowed me to see her bra underneath it. For modesty at dinner she held a button up silk cardigan to go over it. She had on a funky new pair of sheer nylons that had a distinct fishnet pattern running through them, and I could see from a slight telltale bump on each thigh that she was wearing them with a garter belt. Finally, she must have gone shoe shopping as she often does, because she was wearing a new pair of boots I hadn't seen before. They were a soft black leather that came just above her calf and added about three and an half inches to her height with their wedge heels that were the width of the boot, but very slender from the side. They were sexy, yet sensible for the cold outdoor weather.
Lighting a cigarette, she sauntered over to me and gave me a kiss. "How do I look," she inquired archly.
I told her honestly that she looked fabulous. Her makeup was sexy as always, and her outfit was stunning. She smiled, pleased, and looked out the window to see our taxi pull up. I helped her into her coat, grabbed mine, and off we went.
Since we live in the city already, it's often much more convenient to take a cab out than to drive. Kelly gave the driver the name of a restaurant I had heard a bit about in one of the local events publications. It was supposed to be a really good French and Indian fusion cuisine with a lot of atmosphere, and I'd wanted to try it badly. As we were driving, Kelly was running her hand up and down my thigh lightly. She asked the driver if it was all right to smoke in the cab, and then pointedly lit up while looking at me. She knows it excites me to watch her smoke and often uses it as a ploy to turn me on when she has ulterior motives.
Snuggling up against me while letting her hand continue to roam my leg, she asked me what I had in mind for the evening. I told her I expected we would have a nice dinner, go out dancing for a while, have several drinks until we both felt nice and happy, and then go home for some hot sex.
