22nd January 2019
Candles. A soft warm glow. The light and warmth that they emanate reflected in the hot bubbly water.Why do I feel so weak against him? He's only ever been sweet to me accept when I asked him to be otherwise. His body. Soft and light. His hair wet and smoothed back out of his face.
It'd begun that evening with me following him at a light run up the path through the garden while we laughed and giggled about what the night may have in store for us; falling in through the door and slipping onto the soft cream carpet; dropping our bags in the hallway and running up the carpeted stairs to his bedroom. We begun to kiss right away; softly. His lip; like buttercream against mine. It seemed somehow pure. Somehow innocent. We toppled onto his bed, him first, the soft cotton sheet felt so good beneath my finger tips. Smooth and fresh. We continued to kiss and my hands found his chest.
We lay in each other's for at least an hour. Not that I noticed. We lost the light and as we went to turn the light on we found it flickered then died out. We tried again. And again. Nothing. We were in a power cut. "Darling has the place fused?" I asked "I don't think so ... they said on the radio that there could be power problems with the god awful weather, I guess it's that. Ain't Nothing to but wait for the power to comes back" he replied. It's flipping freezing. I can't survive in this! We got all the blankets and cuddled up on the bed. Still freezing. After about 10 minutes of this he said "you know, if we were on the phone we'd think of all the interesting things we could in a power cut. Dark. No one at home. Cold. We have to keep warm... if you get my drift...". He was right of course. He always is. Even if I think I am... " I've got an idea... I'll go put water in the bath... that'll warm us up quick..." he whispered. I've never done that before. He's going to have to lead. I haven't got a clue about how doing anything in a bath might work and any possible health and safety risks. I nodded softly. He ran out of door and up the stairs to the bathroom.
I smiled at myself in the mirror. Quite rare I get to do something new, something I'm not sure of. From above, I heard a soft trickle of water into a bath tub. Are we really going to do it? It would appear so... I slipped my clothes off and dressed myself in my black dressing gown. The lace felt all soft somehow. As if he'd placed a little of his sweetness and kindness into it. A little shyly, I wondered up to the bathroom around 5mins after I'd heard the water stop running.
I stood silently In doorway.
Waiting. Watching him pull off his shirt to reveal his strong shoulders; watching him undo his trousers; watching him climb into the hot bath and brush his hair back and then to watch his sapphire eyes fall upon me "hello baby girl, how long have you been watching?" I couldn't help but giggle. He likes to patronise me. It makes him feel in control. He likes to be in control. He always is. That's exactly the way I like it. "Just a little while..." I smiled gently at him. He'd lit a few candles around the bathed the room in a gentle saffron glow and a little incense burning in the corner gave me a soft, warm, safe feeling. The room was emerald in colour and the majority of the fixings appeared magnolia in the etherial light posed by the flames. I softly stepped up to the bath and my eyes met his. Reaching down, I untied the black satin ribbon and allowed the gown to crumple onto the floor. My dark hair swayed against my back which felt somehow new and unusual. I tiptoed my way to the bath across the dark wooden floor and slid in beside him.
I snuggled up and lay my head against his strong chest, I closed my eyes letting my guard down. Why the hell am I letting my guard down? Quickly, I opening them again and wriggled a little. Too late, he'd noticed my moment of weakness and taken the advantage as he'd seen it. Gripping my neck harder than I'd felt him do it before he smiled at me and whispered "stay baby girl" and leaned my head back to make out with me deeply.
The power didn't come back on that night. Well if it did we didn't notice.
