I had an inkling that the errand Beth had asked me to run was just a ruse to get me out of the house for some reason and, when I returned, that suspicion was confirmed. My scheming wife met me at the door with a twinkle in her eyes and a knowing smile.
"Hello, darling," she purred. "I have a secret, surprise present for you."
"A secret, surprise present? How exciting!" My eyes lingered on her body. She was wearing a black silk bathrobe which caressed and emphasised her delicious curves rather than veiling them. "Do I get to unwrap it now?"
Beth laughed and toyed with the front of her robe, revealing more of her soft pale cleavage. "Don't be stupid! My body isn't exactly a secret to you, is it? Have patience. For now, you just need to unwrap yourself. Pop upstairs and have a quick shower then come to the bedroom where I will have something for you to wear."
"A secret, surprise present that involves dressing up? Intriguing!" I hurried upstairs. It was probably one of the quickest showers I've ever taken; I was keen to see what secret surprise Beth had in store for me. Was it going to be some new cosplay outfit? Or perhaps some bondage gear? A fluttering of anticipation started to grow in my chest. I rapidly towelled myself dry and padded naked to the bedroom where Beth was waiting. I looked around for the outfit I was meant to wear but couldn't see anything. Beth smiled wickedly and, from behind her back, brought out a bottle of body oil and a velvet blindfold.
"Is that all I'm going to be wearing? Very minimalist," I quipped. "I'm assuming that this 'secret, surprise present' doesn't involve going out for dinner, then?"
Beth said nothing. She slowly walked behind me and tied the blindfold in place. I felt the silk of her robe brush against my thigh as she circled back in front of me. "Stand still," she whispered as she began to massage the oil onto the front of my body.
"Mmmm! This is a special present," I murmured as Beth knelt down and rubbed oil up my legs and onto my swelling penis.
"Oh, this isn't the secret, surprise present. This is just... useful preparation." She stood up and took my hand.
"Aren't you going to do my back too?" I asked, confused. She ignored my question.
"Come with me," she breathed. "And try not to bump into any furniture on the way." She led me down the stairs. I briefly wondered why we didn't just stay in the bedroom but Beth obviously had other plans. Maybe we
were
going outside. But, no, she guided me into our living room and I wasn't sure whether to be relieved or slightly disappointed.
A tiny amount of light leaked around the edges of the blindfold, enough for me to know that the blinds were down and the room was dimly lit. She led me to the centre of the room. In the place where our coffee table should have been was a large rug which was soft under my bare feet.
"Lie down, darling. Keep your hands out to the sides, spread your legs apart nice and wide... and don't move or speak until I say you can," she commanded. I did as instructed and I heard Beth backing away from me.
As I lay there on my back in our living room, I gradually became aware of other very faint sounds around me. Was that the rustle of clothing? Was that someone breathing? I became increasingly convinced that there were other people in the room whilst I lay there completely naked on the floor. I don't have a nudity taboo but neither do I have any strong exhibitionist tendencies. I felt very exposed, very vulnerable... and very excited!
I shuffled a little on the rug, wondering what would happen next but the silence continued. All I knew was that Beth and an undetermined number of people were, probably, staring at my supine, naked body. I could feel the first stirrings of an erection at the thought and I wondered if that was what they were waiting for. I felt a strong urge to move my hands over my genitals -- whether to cover myself or to speed up my hard-on, I wasn't quite sure. But Beth's 'don't move' had been very firm. So, I waited.
Finally, there were simultaneous sounds of movement from around the edges of the room. It was the sound of people undressing. I could hear clothing sliding over skin and then dropping to the floor. It sounded as if there were at least four other people in the room apart from Beth. I was pretty sure I heard the subtle whisper of Beth's silk robe being removed amongst the other sounds.
The disrobing noises ended and the silence returned. I tried to imagine the scene: a blindfolded man lying naked on the floor with a partial erection being watched by five or more people who were now also probably (hopefully?) naked and presumably not blindfolded. Maybe they were also wearing blindfolds and we were all about to play some bizarre naked party game. Naked sardines, anyone?
Again, I lay and waited for what seemed like an age. My initial excitement had transformed into mild perplexity. The air-conditioning was on and I could feel the oil on my skin cooling. Eventually, there were more sounds of movement -- slow, quiet footsteps approaching me from various directions. They all started at the same time and I wondered if Beth was directing them with silent signals. My excitement began to mount anew. The footsteps stopped and I figured that they were now standing about a foot away from me. Once again, there was silence as these unknown individuals loomed over my exposed body.
What now? Were they just going to stand there? I want sure how many people were standing over me and I didn't even know what sex they were. Maybe they were all men and they were about to masturbate over me. That seemed unlikely -- I'd never expressed a particularly strong interest in bukkake to Beth. Maybe it was her fantasy -- in which case I would be happy to oblige -- but she had said it was a present for me.
Again, there were sounds of coordinated movement. They lowered themselves to the ground to sit or kneel around me. I could feel the warmth emanating from their bodies. It seemed there were four people surrounding me -- one at my head, one between my feet and one on either side between my arms and my body. I had thought there were maybe five, counting Beth. Was Beth amongst the four or was she just directing things in the background? Were there others waiting in the wings?
There was another silent pause. This was obviously going to be the pattern: stop--start. Drawing it out. Building the suspense. I decided to relax and enjoy the ride, to use the pauses to allow my mind to fill with possibilities of what would happen and to speculate on the identities of the four people.
The feeling of lack of control, being totally at the mercy of someone else's unknown intentions gave me a shiver of excitement. Beth and I had occasionally experimented with some mild dominance play, but it was usually Beth who enjoyed taking the submissive role. This was very different. Other than the order not to move or speak, I was not being commanded to do anything. However, it seemed that the other people were obediently following instructions that were somehow being given to them.
I sensed the four leaning in towards me. I tensed in anticipation. There was a synchronised intake of breath and then they started to blow on my skin -- my forehead, my arms, my feet. After such a long time just lying there naked, the sensation of their breath on my body immediately raised goosebumps. They began to trace slow, meandering paths with their breath -- around my face, along my arms and up my legs. They alternated between firm, cooling jets of air blown through pursed lips and gentle, warm breaths through open mouths. It was somehow stimulating and soothing at the same time. If any of the four had long hair, it had obviously been tied back for the performance. All I felt was their breath on my skin.
I found it hard to keep track of the changing play of pressure and temperature across four different areas of my body. The separate sensations began to merge into one feeling of being caressed by breath. Now and again, one of them blew on a more sensitive area, such as my collarbone, my nipples, the crook of my elbow or the insides of my thighs, sending small quivers of delight across my whole body.
It became apparent that, whilst they were twisting and circling, these blowing paths were moving towards particular destinations. Their movements were so coordinated that they must have been choreographed in detail beforehand. By Beth? When? How?
The individual at my head began to concentrate on my chest, tracing a twisting figure-eight path between my hardening nipples, The other three were, ever so slowly, gravitating towards my groin. My penis began to swell in anticipation and I just about managed to control a convulsive shiver of expectation. My own breath became heavier and more erratic.
Eventually, the three zeroed in on their objective. The one between my legs began to blow on my perineum and the junction between thigh and abdomen. The other two focused on my lower abdomen around, but not directly on, my penis, ruffling my pubic hair with their breath. It became almost impossible to control my writhing hips. My convulsive movements meant that, occasionally, one of them did end up blowing onto my now fully-erect cock, making it twitch in response.
Suddenly, they all stopped and backed away. I let out a sigh. Fuck! I should have seen that coming. Stop--start! I trembled and emitted a half-groan-half-chuckle as I attempted to relax once more and await the next phase. The memory of the breath of these four unknown people lingered on my skin and I experienced wandering waves of goosebumps.
As I waited, my breathing became more regular, apart from the occasional breathy sigh. I became aware that the people around me were also breathing a little more heavily than before. Were they just out of breath from all that blowing or were they also aroused by what they had been doing to me... and by my obvious enjoyment of it? I tried to discern clues to their identities from the sound of their breathing. Were they men or women, large or small? I just couldn't tell.
