As they drew near the kitchen door Pride reached up and held his hands out so he could guide Brody into the kitchen by the hands.
"Close your eyes, keep them shut till I tell you to open them okay" Pride asked Brody as she took his hands which he had offered her before she shut her eyes.
Stepping backward Pride led Brody into the kitchen and up to the dining table. He helped her sit down and then he stepped back so he could see her face.
"You can open them now," Pride told Brody as he watched her slowly open her eyes and take in her the view of her kitchen.
Looking at the table she saw the candles flicker casting a soft glow over the room and the red rose sat there. The aroma from the stove was wonderful, Brody's stomach gave a low rumble at the smell. She was slightly taken aback at the effort Pride had put in as she picked up the rose.
"Thank you, it's been a long time since a had anything like this done for me, Ohh wait no one has done this for me," Brody told Pride as she smiled up at him.
"Your welcome and this is still only the start" as Pride made his way to the stove and started to dish out dinner.
Once the plates were on the table Pride went to the fridge and removed the bottle of wine that he placed there to chill. Taking it over to the table he uncorked it and poured a glass each for them before setting the bottle down and taking his seat. He watched as Brody started to eat and had to smile at the way she could smile and eat at the same time. He picked his fork up and started to eat when his phone rang. Both of them stopped eating and looked at each other, this was not good. Pride pulled his phone out his pocket and looked at it. Brody saw the way his knuckles went white as he gripped the phone and she didn't like it.
"Hello, Linda what can I do for you?" Pride said into the phone as he answered it.
Now Brody understood why his knuckles were white. This was not what either of them needed right now, but it didn't look they had much choice.
"So now you have people spying on me Linda. Why can't you just leave this alone, I have much better things to do than listen to you going on" Pride said into the phone.
Reaching her hand across the table Brody interlinked her fingers with Pride's as she took his hand giving it a squeeze. Pride squeezed back as he continued to listen to the phone.
"Linda what I do in public is none of business and who I spend my time with is nothing to do with you now. Tell whoever reported back to you that Brody and I can walk where we want and do what we want when we want. Linda if you need something important then ask the solicitor if not then I don't want to hear it okay. Tell Laurel, actual I will speak to Laurel myself. Goodbye, Linda" as Pride hung the phone up and closed his eyes.
Brody got up from the table letting go of Prides hand and went around to stand behind him. Leaning against the chair she wrapped her arms around his neck and worked her hands up and down his arms.
"Hey don't let her spoil our night please, if she does then she wins,", Brody said into Prides ear.
"I know, but she seems to know just what to say to get under my skin," Pride said as he let out a deep breath.
"Well, you were married to her so of course she knows how to get to you. Come on let's finish dinner and then we can go and relax" as Brody placed a kiss to Prides cheek.
"You right, let's finish dinner and then I can show you your next surprise" as Pride turned his head to the side and managed to capture Brody's lips before she moved away.
Sitting back down Brody picked her fork up and continued to eat while she watched Pride pick at his food. He had lost his appetite since the phone call and it don't look like he would get it back. When Brody was finished she put her fork back down and stood up making sure to pick her plate up as she went. Once she had cleared away her plate and glass she came and stood behind Pride placing her hands on his shoulders. Slowly she tried to work out the knots and tension out of Prides shoulders and it did work to a point but he was still worked up. Coming to stand at his side she took his hand and pulled trying to get him to rise from the table.
"If you're going to sit there and sulk all night then I can't see the point in this. I am going for a bath then going to bed. I can't make you get out your mood, but you know where I am if you want to come up" as she let go of his hand and started to walk away.
Her words sunk into Prides confused brain and he stood from the table as he chased Brody down the hallway.
"Wait up, I am sorry for getting like this. That woman knows how to bug me and wind me up. I promise I wouldn't let it spoil the rest of our night" as he caught Brody at the bottom of the stairs.
"How about we take that bath and see if we can't make you forget all about this," Brody said as she took Pride in her arms and kissed him.
"I like the sound of that plan. Let's see if we can find any more surprises upstairs" as Pride took Brody's hand and lead her up the stairs.
Brody let Pride lead her up the stairs and into the bathroom. At first she couldn't see anything different till she saw Pride pick up a new bottle of bath oil. As Pride put the plug in and turned the taps on he poured a generous amount of oil into the bath and let the hot warm and stream spread the smell of vanilla and jasmine around the room. As the bath filled Brody started to remove her clothes, dumping them in the laundry basket. In no time at all Brody was stood naked in front of a very dumbstruck Pride.
"Well we can't have a bath in our clothes can we" as she reached up and started to undo the buttons on the front of Prides shirt.
Working her way down till all the buttons were undone she slid her hands across his shoulders and the shirt slid off and down his arms. Next she started on his belt as she unbuckled it and then worked the button and zip loss on his jeans. As she pushed her hands inside his jeans she hooked her fingers into his underwear and slid both of them down his legs till she reached his feet.
"You going to help me here or do I have to take your socks and shoes off as well?" Brody said as she looked up trying to not let her gaze wander to other areas of Prides body that were now very evidently awake.
Pride used his feet to kick his shoes off and then used his feet to alternate standing on his socks on the other foot to pull them off. When they were both finally naked they stood looking at each other before Pride remembered the bath running behind him. He turned the tap off and swirled the water around with his hand checking it wasn't too hot. When he was sure he reached out his dry hand to Brody and as she took it he helped her step in the bath. She didn't sit down but waited for Pride to climb in and sit so she could sit between his legs and lean back.
Pride sat down and leaned back so he was supported by the bath as Brody sat down and leaned against his chest. The pair of them let the warm water soak into their skin as they lay together in the bath. They could both feel the stress and strains of the day ease as they sat letting the water wash away their tension. Pride wrapped his arms around Brody's chest as felt her relax even more into his embrace. He had to be careful where his hand ended up as he had a very sexy women who was wet and naked in his arms. He knew he was getting aroused before they got in the bath, but now it was getting worse. He couldn't help himself, and he couldn't hide it either.
"Well someone is definitely not relaxing are they" Brody laughed as she wriggled a little causing more friction with her back and ass.
"How am I supposed to relax when I have a very beautiful women in my arms who is naked, wet and not helping the situation when she wriggles that sexy ass of hers against me" Pride groaned out as Brody's laughing caused even more rubbing against his already aroused member.
When Brody stopped laughing she stood up and turned around looking down at Pride who was still sitting but was now looking up at her and as she saw getting more aroused if that was even possible. As Prides eyes raked over Brody's body as she stood in front of him he reached his hands up to her beckoning her to him. Brody went to sit back down but stopped half way waiting for Pride to sit up and move forward. When he did she sat down straddling him with her legs wrapped round his back. It was a little tight, but they were both too engrossed in the person in front of them to notice.
Pride let his hands skim over Brody's body as she bent forward and kissed him, drinking in the taste of his lips and mouth as her tongue explored his mouth. When she finally came up for air Pride let his lips explore the places his hands had just been including her neck shoulders and Breast. When his lips skimmed her beets Brody felt herself ground down on Pride and felt as his member nudged her. Feeling the contact between them, Pride bucked his hips upwards causing his member to nudge and push into Brody a little. That was all it took both of them as they both tried to take charge as Pride grabbed Brody's hips and Brody grabbed Prides shoulders. One pushing up while the other pushed down.
Soon there seemed to be a lot more water on the bathroom floor than in the bath as Pride and Brody rocked and moved around trying to reach completion in the compact space. In the end, Pride gave up and he lifted Brody so she eased herself off him.
"Let's finish this somewhere with a little more room" as he climbed out the bath and took Brody's hand.
When Brody climbed out Pride didn't wait for them to leave the bathroom. Seeing the sink unit in front of Brody he stepped up behind her and placed his hands over hers as he placed them on the sink. Letting go of her hands he ran his hands up her arms and down her sides letting his fingers trail down her breast. When his hands reached her waist he gripped her and pulled back a little so she was just at the right angle. Before either could think anymore Pride thrust forward while Brody pushed back and they joined again. After several long minutes, they both screamed each other's name as they stood panting for breath.
Finally the broke apart and Brody spun round as she leaned against Prides chest.
"I take it that was the last of my surprise because I haven't got much energy left for any more" Brody told Pride as she placed kisses to his chest.
"Nope, still a couple left in the bedroom. Come on and I will show you" as Pride ran his fingers down Brody's cheek and her arm till he took her hand and pulled her to the bedroom.
Once entering the bedroom Pride picked up the towels of the chair and wrapped Brody in one while he wrapped the other around his waist. Leading Brody to the bed he told her to lie down and face outwards. He made sure she was facing him so she didn't see her last surprise which was sitting on her pillow. When she lay down he flicked the lamp on and picked up the bottle of massage oil. Rubbing the bottle between his hands to warm it climbed on the bed and straddled Brody's ass. Once in place he took the lid off the bottle and poured a little into his hands as he placed the bottle back on the bed.
Starting at Brody's shoulders he massaged outwards and down her arms before coming back up to her shoulders. Lifting up a little he hooked his fingers in the towel and pulled it off her body so she was back to being naked again. Getting more oil, he started at the top of her back and worked every knot and tight muscle in her back, stopping a couple of times to top up his hands with oil. When he finished her back he lifted again and stood up at the foot of the bed. With more oil, he massaged each leg from just below her ass right down to her feet, making sure he did each toe individually. When he was sure he was done with her back he asked to roll onto her front so he could make sure he covered all of her.
As she rolled onto her back she looked to the foot of the bed where Pride was still standing. She could see his desire for her rising again as he towel tented upwards and couldn't help but lick her lips in anticipation of what was to come. Pride moved from the foot of the bed and came to sit back in the bed just below Brody's hips so he could reach everywhere he needed to reach. With more oil, he worked down from her shoulders to her breasts, making sure he paid each one homage with both hands. The small moans and groans that escaped Brody's lips didn't go unnoticed by Pride as he finally let go of her breasts and work down her taut stomach to finally stop just above her pubic bone.
Looking down at her he was in awe at how beautiful she looked as the light shone across her skin which glistened from the oil.
"Hey you haven't fallen asleep have you, I still have one surprise before you get to go to sleep" Pride whispered against Brody's lips as he leaned forward and kissed her.
"I can feel your surprise, but it's in the wrong place, need to be a little higher than that to work right" Brody giggled against Prides lips in between kisses.
"Well okay, then 2 surprise if you include this one" as he sat up a little and removed his towel.
Brody reached out and pulled Pride back to her as their lips and groins meet again causing them both to moan out loud. After another round of lovemaking, Pride collapsed to the side of Brody pulling her to his chest as he lay down. When they were finally able to move again Pride reached across to the box that was still there and picked it up before bringing it round to lay it on his chest just in front of Brody's face.
"If you open your eyes you can have your last surprise then I promise you can get some sleep. Well, I promise to the best of my ability but can't say other parts of my body will let you sleep" Pride told Brody as he watched her open her eyes and focus on the box.
Brody reached up and touched the box then sat up looking down at it before locking eyes with Pride.
"Well, it won't open itself" as Pride took the box and passed her it.
Brody took the box and still never looked at it till she had it tight in her hand. Looking away from Pride she flicked the box open and gasped at what was inside. There sat inside was a beautiful gold anklet with a tiny little gold heart hanging off it. When Brody looked closer at the little heart she saw it had something on it. Taking it out the box she brought it closer so she could examine the heart better. Turning it over to make sure she saw it right she found a little M on one side with a little D on the other. After running her finger over the D, she looked at Pride who was watching her as she examined the anklet. There were tears slowly making their way down her cheeks and she didn't try to hide them.
"Thank you, Dwayne it's beautiful. Will you put it on please" as she passed him the anklet.
Taking the anklet, he lifted off the bed and went to the foot of the bed again. Looking at Brody's tiny ankles he ran a finger over her right ankle and looked up seeing her shake her head. Running his fingers over her left ankle he looked up again and she nodded and smiled. Slotting the chain round her leg her did the claps up and stepped back a little so he could admire the chain and the heart.
"It suits you. I will admit I was a little lost at what to get you as I didn't want anything too flashy. A ring was a bit of an overkill so early on, especially with the job we do. A necklace is the same as you don't wear them and earrings just didn't seem personal enough. When I saw that I knew that it was perfect. It shows how much you mean to me but can be hidden out the way so it can't get caught or snagged at work. We know it's there and that's enough for me for now. If you're happy then so am I" Pride said as he ran his finger over the anklet before joining Brody back on the bed.
"We need some sleep or we will be walking around like zombies," Pride told Brody as he reached up and brushed away the tears that sat on Brody's cheeks with his fingers.
Pulling her to him he kicked the covers bringing them into reaching position. As Brody settled against his chest Pride pulled the covers over them both and tucked them in behind Brody's back to keep her warm. As he placed kisses to Brody's hair he felt her place kisses to his chest as she linked legs with him and he felt the anklet rub against his leg. He couldn't help but smile as the cold anklet brushed his leg.
"Good night Dwayne, thank you for a wonderful night and I loved all my surprises, especially this one" as she moved her leg a little so the chain rubbed up against his leg.
"You're very welcome, you deserved everyone on them. It's about time you were treated like the princess you are. Good night beautiful sleep well" as he placed a kiss to Brody's temple and closed his eyes.
"I will sleep well now I have you to protect me," Brody said as she closed her eyes and let sleep claim her.
