_____ I sat on the couch eagerly awaiting the sound of your key in the door. Music played softly in the background as I twiddled my thumbs. The wine chilled on ice and the table was set for two. The meal was your favorite, and I slaved for hours to get it just right. You know how I hate to cook, but this was a special occasion.
_____ I thought and thought of the things I might have missed for this night. Nevertheless, I could only think of the fight we had last night. We only shouted the words in anger, I was sure. Yet, this night all I wanted was to love you tenderly. You were so silent when you left this morning. I could see the hurt in your eyes.
_____I crossed and uncrossed my legs as time patiently passed me by and glanced at my watch. "DAMN!" I thought, it was only five minutes since the last time I looked. Every car I heard brought me to the window to look and sadly they passed on by. I glanced at the clock on the wall, could it perhaps be broken because it sure is slow. The waiting made me nervous and I could not sit still. Then I heard your key. I jumped. I was shaking. What pray tell could I say.
_____Then you were there, sadness in your eyes. I smile, "Hi baby," I say, "are you hungry?" You nod and lay your briefcase against the wall. I lead the way to the dining area and pull out your chair for you to sit. You still have not forgotten our fight, I can tell.
_____You simply go through the motion of politeness to help ease the rift that holds us apart. You tell me the table looks pleasing and the meal smells good. With a smile you say, "I hope you are not trying to poison me." I say, "No baby I would never do such a thing." As I serve you, I ask you about your day. You respond with timid grace, "Fine." What can I do to break your ice, I think silently? Then you ask what occasion might this be. I say, "Just dinner for two." The meal passes with pleasantries. We take our drinks to the living room.
_____Janet plays softly on the radio. We feel loosened from the wine. More relaxed, I see it on your face. We talk about nothing and everything, just passing time afraid to move toward the next level. I set my glass on the coffee table and reach for your hand. We avoided the discussion for most of the night but we both know that it is time
_____ You start to say something then stop. I see the tears in your eyes and my heart skips a beat. I wipe the tears from your eyes and say softly, "Baby I do love you so."
_____You respond, "Then why do you always hurt me the way you do?"
_____I reply. " Just know that I love." You pull your hand away and stand. You walk to the window but even with your back to me I know the sound of your tears. I stand and move toward you. You turn to face me as I approach. I pull you into my arms and hold you close to me while you cry.
_____I rub your back to comfort you and whisper, "It is okay my love." I press my lips against your neck and breathe in your aroma. Um.. It is Sam Sara. I feel a need come over me but I hold it at bay. I do not want to scare you away. Nonetheless, you feel the desire that has risen in me. You lift your head from my shoulder, tears still running down your cheek. We look into each others eyes and read the depths of our souls. You kiss me. I am lost. First the kiss is soft then you press harder. My lips part and you slide your tongue into my mouth. We share in a tongue duel. You place your hand onto the back of my neck and pull me closer to you. I start to stroke your body, feeling every sensuous curve. The beat of our hearts quickens and our breathing becomes ragged as our kiss deepens.
_____Then suddenly you gently pull away and look me in the eyes again. With a husky voice you say, "Baby, I want you to take me. I know you want to, but last night . . . "
_____Just then Anita Baker's I Apologize plays on the stereo, as if I called it up in my mind. I pull you to me and begin to slow drag with you. "Shh. . . . my love listen," I whisper. You are tense, but soon you loosen and begin to lose yourself in our dance and in my arms. I am certain that I could take you now and you would give of yourself totally. Yet I wait. My body aches for you, the desire rising, and still I wait.
_____Your tears have ceased, I can tell by your breathing. You are more relaxed, more calm. I rub my hand up your back then down to caress the softness of your butt. "OH GOD!" I moan. The need for you is now intense. I take my right hand and gently raise your chin and see the fire burning in your eyes. You are ready to be loved. The flame in you is burning and I cannot hold back what we both know the other wants. We are hungry for each other.
_____I am shaking with a deep need to love you passionately. I touch your lips with my finger and trace a line down to your neck. Then I replace my finger with my tongue. You shiver and tilt your head back to receive my kisses upon your neck. I retrace the line with my tongue and my lips touch yours and we begin another tongue duel. My left hand moves to stroke your shoulder then slides down to touch your breast. First aggressively then gently. Though you are fully clothed, your nipples respond to my touch and harden. You take in a deep breath and moan with pleasure.
_____Will Downing and Gerald Albright are now playing on the stereo. The smell of jasmine is in the air from the candles mixed with your perfume. It is very intoxicating. We slightly pull apart and I gaze at you to see if this is what you want. Your eyes tell me that you are ready for my loving. I take your hand and lead you to our bedroom.
_____You allow me to take control as I usually do. I kiss your mouth and slide my tongue down your chin, your neck, the open V of your chest. My fingers seductively unbutton your blouse as my tongue continues its travel, tasting every bit of you. I reach my hands behind you to unsnap your bra and kiss your shoulders as I slide the straps off. Next I run my hands down the beauty of your body. I search for the zipper of your skirt and unzip it. It slides down your hips to the floor. Your stockings are next. As I am removing them my tongue taste the sweetness of your legs. With my teeth I remove your panties.
_____You stand before me. Your nakedness entrances me, and your beauty astounds me. I lay you down on our bed and quickly undress myself then lay beside you. Again I mold your mouth with mine. My hands explore the softness of your body. In one hand I take your breast and kiss, lick and bit it tenderly. Between my fingers I knead your nipples. Your moan is a sign of your pleasure. My own body juices are flowing and the need to be inside you overcomes me. My hand descends your body to the tunnel of your wet womanhood. Two fingers enter your warm and moist love canal. My fingers slide in and out to a rhythm only your body knows. Our passion is ignited and met stroke for stroke. Sweat glistens our bodies as we begin to reach our climax. You moan my name and me my own body calls for sweet release in the pleasure I am giving you.
_____I reach under the pillow to retrieve the dildo and strap it on. Positioned above you, I enter you. Together our bodies begin a dance that only we know the steps. You spread your legs to receive me and pull me close to you. I am so ready to bust with pleasure but I hold back to make sure you reach your full share. Then you are there and softly you gasp. I stroke once.. twice.. "oh sweet mercy" I say. I collapse on top of you and you hold me tight to you. Our breathing slows and the pounding of our hearts is the only sound in the room. You whisper softly, "Now your turn." I decline and tell you that your fulfillment is all I need.
_____We lay wrapped in each others arms and drift off to sleep, satisfied and sedated from our Dinner for Two. The last thought on my mind is what meal can I plan to seduce you with tomorrow night.

THE END
