R/R/R: Relaxation, rest, and romance.
Shawn plans a night of relaxation for his wife.
It was 10:15 pm on a Friday night. Doctor Katie Spencer was driving home form a long day at work. She had been called in at 4 am to remove the appendixes of a seven-year-old girl. Then, she spent the rest of the day checking out her clients. Now, at this late hour, Katie was tired and achy. All she wanted to was stretch out in a hot bath and go to sleep.
Katie parked her car in the driveway of the home she shared with her husband, Shawn. She unlocked her door and dragged her tired body into the house. She kicked off her shoes and dropped her keys on the hallway table.
"Shawn?" She called. "Shawn, honey, I'm home."
She got no answer. She walked through the living room, kitchen, and outdoor patio. No Shawn.
Thinking that he went to sleep, Katie made her way to the bedroom. Just as she was about to make her way up the steps, she noticed something on the floor. She bent over to get a closer look and saw red rose petals. As she kept walking, she noticed more and that they lead to the bathroom. From underneath the door, she saw a faint light. She pushed the door open to find a scene that made her breathless. There were candles, red candles of every size and shape, shining brightly. The candles were arranged all over the bathroom, on the floor, on the toilet, and on the vanity. They covered every inch of the bathroom, except for a small aisle that lead to a large tub. Katie walked to it and stirred the bubble covered, rose-covered water with her hand. The hot water felt so good, her aching hand was beginning to feel better. She scooped up some bubbles and smelled them. They smelled like pineapple.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist. She felt a tender kiss behind her ear. "Welcome home, baby," breathed a gentle male voice. "I missed you so much."
The voice, the touch, the kiss gave her goose bumps. She turned to in those arms to the handsome face of her husband, Shawn. If the voice, touch, and kiss gave her goose bumps, his beautiful hazel eyes and sweet grin made her melt like ice cream on a hot summer day. The candlelight intensified his brown hair.
Touched by the gestures, she smiled and said, "Shawn, this is so beautiful. The flowers, the candles, the bath,"
"The music," Shawn added. With that, Shawn walked over to the IPOD dock on the vanity and pressed the button. The romantic, beautiful voice of Martina Mac Bride filled the room with more love, if that was possible.
Shawn walked over to Katie and began to undress her. Her clothes fell into a pile by the tub. Shawn looked at her in all her naked glory. Finally, he said, "You look so beautiful." He took her in his arms, pressing her body closer to him, loving the feeling of the contact with her nude body. He spent a few minutes, letting his hands roam around her soft skin, caressing her curves, savoring every touch.
"Ohh, you even feel beautiful," he moaned. He then picked her up, swung her over the edge of the tub, and set her in the hot water.
Katie let out a low, deep gasp, a reaction to the unexpectedness of the hot water. However, she embraced the relief it gave her aching body.
Shawn kneeled beside her and asked, "How does that feel?"
"It feels so amazing," she said. "But it would feel more amazing if you were in her with me."
With a mysterious smile, he said, "Say no more." He unbuttoned his blue shirt, unbuckled his black belt, and unzipped his jeans. He removed his clothes and threw them in the pile with her clothes. He stepped into water and sat across from her. He reached over to the basket by the tub and got out a loofah and pineapple flavored shower gel. He wet the loofah and squirted the gel, working it into lather. He then took her hands and pulled her close to him. He wrapped his arms around her, laying her head on his broad shoulder. Shawn took the loofah and rubbed it all over her body. Katie smelled the pineapple scent of the shower gel and felt the tender touch of Shawn's fingers on her back. Shawn cleaned her off and then, Katie cleaned him, too. Then, the couple laid against the wall of the tub. Katie laid her head on Shawn's bare chest.
"Shawn..." she said.
"Yes, sweetheart?" He called.
"This is the most relaxing bath I've ever had in my life," she said. "Thank you so much."
"You are most welcome, Katie," he said, stroking her back. "Sometimes you just need a little R & R & R."
Katie looked up at him, confused and asked, "R & R & R?"
"Rest, Relaxation, and Romance," he said. With that, Shawn got out of the tub and picked up Katie out of the tub. He dried the two of them off and then, covered Katie's body was cocoa butter lotion. Katie closed her eyes, taking in the softness of Shawn's fingers. She loved being touched by him; it felt so warm, so gentle, and so tender. The touch made her knees buckle and she was about to fall down, so Shawn caught her.
"Are you all right, sweetie?" he asked.
Katie smiled and said, "Yes, I am. I guess the touch of you made me melt."
"Well, I can think of something else that can make you melt," Shawn said.
"What?" Katie asked.
"This," Shawn said. He bent her over and kissed her.
"That would make me melt
Shawn kissed her neck and moaned, "Baby, we just had the Relaxation, so, let's have the romance."
Katie smiled and said, "I totally agree."
