I get home. And it's not good.
"Well. Today was...awful. I can't stop thinking about....ugh. I just need to sleep it off. Or drink? Or, well...hmm..."
A few quick texts and several minutes later, one of my partners is knocking on my door. I let him in, and accept the energy drink offering he has for me with a grateful smile.
That's not even part of his script. He just anticipates my needs so well. An absolute gem. All my partners are, really.
I sit on the couch with a sigh, and he kneels between my feet, inquiry on his face. He kisses my inner thigh, once, just above my knee in affection and greeting, as I ponder and make my decision. He's not sure of my mood yet, or what scene to expect.
Neither am I.
I gauge my mood, and open with a negotiated script, making my scene choice. His eyes lights up as he knows exactly what to expect.
"Not yet. We're playing first."
He grins in enthusiasm, scrambling to his feet, and starts turning on the TV, gaming console, and some background music. I open my gifted drink, and stand up to retrieve my hairbrush from the bathroom, placing it on the armrest of the couch as I sit back down.
