Chapter Fourteen

Once Rose had placed the flowers on the dressing table she sat on the bed and spent some time playing with its controls. She glanced at her wrist watch and as dinner was very soon she decided to wait until after dinner to have the long bubble bath that she had been promising herself for days.

As soon as dinner was over Rose asked to be excused to bed. Jackie sighed but knew better than to argue the point that she, Pete and Tony had barely seen her in days.

"Go on love. Maybe when John is back here we will see more of you."

"I wouldn't count on that!" said Pete winking.

Rose rolled her eyes but simply said, "Thank you." and left the room. Once in her bedroom she closed the door behind her and shed her clothing piece by piece as she walked to her en suite.

Closing that door behind her she drew a deep bath full of hot water before adding her favourite rose scented bath oil.

"Candles, I need candles."

She opened the vanity unit and pulled out a handful of baby pink candles and placed them in dishes all around the edge of the bath and lit them all before sinking in to the scented water and sighing deeply.

The water was deep enough for her to float in and she closed her eyes as the water caressed and soothed her tired body. After a few minutes she began to worry that she might fall asleep in the tub and she hauled herself up and gently washed her long hair. She shaved her legs and underarms and exfoliated carefully before washing the days grime from her body.

Grabbing a towel she wrapped it around herself before grabbing a second to wrap around her head. She took a bottle of body oil and rubbed it all over her pink and glowing skin and felt her nipples swell and harden as she ran her oily hands across her breasts.

"Not now Rose." she thought to herself. She hung the towel that was around her body back on the rail and stepped into fresh pyjamas before plucking her eyebrows to within an inch of their life. As she surveyed herself in the still steamy mirror she pondered quite why she was going to so much trouble.

Well, she decided, that much was obvious; she wanted to be noticed. She didn't want him to notice what she had done to her body per se but she wanted him to notice her. Without even acknowledging what she was doing she checked the contents of her vanity unit and smiled knowingly to herself before remembering that it might be a while before he could make it up here. Well she'd just have to make sure that his own unit was well stocked too.

"Stop it Rose." she said the words aloud to see if she could lend them meaning but all she could feel was desire coursing through her body. If he didn't want her or refused her she didn't know quite what she would do.

She fingered her nipples through the thin material of her camisole pyjama top and felt herself pebble at her touch. Moving to her bedroom she tossed back her covers and lay on her bed. She ran her hands across her newly moisturised skin and felt her nerve endings sing as she gasped at the sensations she was producing in her own body. John's face was in her mind as she rolled over and removed the vibrator she kept in her bedside cabinet. She moved the switch to on and turned the dial to maximum. She wanted to climax hard and fast and she made no pretence as she thrust the tool deep between her legs.

Her breath was coming in short gasps as she used the tool and tweaked her nipples with her free hand. She could feel herself coiling and when the urge to scream out John's name became too much bear she rolled to her side and buried her face in the pillow next to her own. The change in angle caused her climax to hit and she rode the waves for as long as she could all the while imagining that it was John buried between her legs.

All too soon the contractions faded away and she removed the toy and dropped it to the floor. It wasn't the same and she doubted it could keep her satisfied for long but it had served its purpose and had relaxed her body ready for sleep. She rolled off her bed and picked up the tool on her way to the en suit where she cleaned it and herself before climbing back on to her bed and covering herself with her duvet.

What she needed now was to sleep deeply before she left early in the morning to collect John and bring him home.

Home, that had a nice ring to it. Bringing John home. She smiled to herself as she drifted in to a deep and dreamless sleep.
