Mari's nest ... Rustic Escape ...

*...Visits briefly to air the place, tidy and spruce it up and restock with groceries... *

I have been absent too long...

:rose:
 
eats all the groceries then realises it inluded cat food

*returns briefly to find her supplies have been decimated....*

Now.. WHO would....?

*smiles as she theorises*

... perhaps I should go ask Phoo Ming if he has any supplies to let me have... ?

:rose:
 
Mari returns ...

*Unlocks the door of her too long neglected 'nest' ... looks around the room and grimaces at the cold, dusty atmosphere vowing never to let her home be left empty so long in the future...

Determinedly she sets to making and lighting a fire and then sets to dusting and vacuuming until the main rooms seem habitable. Making a note to air the place tomorrow, she heads for the kitchen and begins to sort through cupboards and the meagre pickings in the fridge.

Only once everything is thrown out does she exit making several journeys to dispose appropriately of the rubbish until on the final journeys back she brings in a cool box, several vast carrier bags ... a second cool box and then a sack of fresh veggies. Once they are arranged in the kitchen she sets about food preparation ... a chilli in the slow cooker for later ... cookie dough to bake when required as a timely treat .... and then needing something quick, tasty and warming, she throws together a snack of melted camembert with warmed crusty bread and onion marmalade ... all enjoyed with a large glass of red wine.

Sat on the sofa to enjoy her repast, she watches the flames dance and sighs contentedly.*

... home at last ...

*blinks awake realising she fell asleep on the sofa ... the fire a faint glow of embers, her first action is to add kindling and coax flames to life making her way to the kitchen and flicking on the coffee pot and considering what to have for breakfast .... Making a mental note to sort out her bedroom today ... a spring clean, airing and change of sheets are well overdue.... *

... toast and marmalade...

*... she decides taking a quick shower and securing a robe around her damp form before indulging in a leisurely breakfast before the now dancing fire.... *

:rose:
 
*Knocks softly on the door, somehow managing it, despite the bouquet of red roses in one hand, and the large paper bag of groceries in the other. Sadly, there is naught for him to do but wait, and hope that you hear my knock.*
 
*sat on sofa sipping coffee.... hearing a faint noise at the door ... pausing and then deciding to go check.... easing the door open, belatedly ensuring her robe is secured, damp hair about shoulders as she realises she has a visitor... *

"Goodness ... long time no see ... "

* She smiles in recognition*

"Come on in ... coffee... breakfast...? I wasn't expecting visitors so soon ... "

*blushes indicating the synched robe*

:rose:
 
*I smile when I see you and hear you speak, offering up a soft chuckle.*

"It has indeed been a long time. I happened to be driving by and saw your car, but had to double back. It's been so long, I figured you could use a few things."

*My hand with the flowers extends them towards you.*

"I am sorry for coming so early, but I figured you wouldn't mind too much, given how long you've been away. I'd be glad to put the groceries away if you would like to get dressed. It would be no trouble at all."
 
"It has indeed been a long time. I happened to be driving by and saw your car, but had to double back. It's been so long, I figured you could use a few things."

*accepting the offered flowers*

"How beautiful, thank you ... "

*smiles at the generous gift*

"I am sorry for coming so early, but I figured you wouldn't mind too much, given how long you've been away. I'd be glad to put the groceries away if you would like to get dressed. It would be no trouble at all."

*waves him inside and closes the door behind him*

"Hey ... you're always welcome and of course I don't mind... it's good to see you."

Gestures towards the coffee pot on the table.

"That's very kind of you ... help yourself to coffee ... and you know where the kitchen is ... make yourself comfortable... I won't be long ... would be great to ... catch up ... "
 
*Gladly steps in out of the cold, happy to see that, though you've only been home for such a short time, you've got the fire going, keeping the place warm and inviting.*

"It's no problem at all my dear. Take all the time you need. I'll just put these away and pour you a cup and we'll see about catching up."

*I saw with a smile, waiting for you to step back before turning away from you, not wanting to be rude by turning away from a lady in her own home. Only after you turn to head towards your bedroom do I move towards the kitchen, setting about the brief task of putting away the bag of groceries. When you come out of your room, you'll find me sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in front of me, and another cup sitting before a chair across from me, waiting patiently.*
 
"It's no problem at all my dear. Take all the time you need. I'll just put these away and pour you a cup and we'll see about catching up."

*kisses his cheek*

"Sounds ideal ... I'll be right back ... "

*Heads towards the bedroom and glances round ... opening the curtains and opening the side window to air the room deciding that will have to do for now ... straightens the covers on the bed wondering why I left them slightly crooked .... relieved that the bedding does not look too much the worse for wear, though a change is on my todo list.

Suddenly aware that time is passing, pauses indecisively before pulling on white lace underwear and a full flowing gypsy-style skirt with a baby pink cotton crepe top. Rubs hair and brushes it loose about her shoulders. Shakes out robe and towel and puts them in the airing cupboard.

Returns to the living room meeting Lucien's smile and noting the second fresh cup of coffee awaiting.

"Thanks ... hope I wasn't too long ... "

*Takes the seat and sips coffee gratefully.*

"So... how have you been...?"
 
*Isn't even tapping my feet yet, but rather simply enjoying the atmosphere I find myself in. When I hear your bedroom door open once more, I move to stand when you enter the room. I was always such a slave to chivalry. When you lean forward to kiss my my arms close around you as I press a soft cheek to your own cheek. Only after you settle yourself into your chair do I do the same, slouching backwards just a little, gladly relaxing.*

"Oh come now. I've waited much longer for far less noble reasons."

*I say, before taking a sip of coffee.*

"Oh where do I even begin to start?" *I take a long deep breath.* Let's see. The last time we were writing threads together, it was 2009. Since then I have gotten a girlfriend and Mistress who gladly approves of my writing, managed to keep a full time job, and am actively working towards being debt free by this time next year."

*I take a long deep breath after my rambling story and lift my gaze to meet yours, taking another sip of coffee.*

"How about you my dear? How are you doing these days?"
 
*smiles across at Lucien, that familar warmth that his gallantry and consideration always brought as we sip our coffee... *


"... Let's see. The last time we were writing threads together, it was 2009. "

*Eyes widening realising JUST how long it has been!*

" ... Since then I have gotten a girlfriend and Mistress who gladly approves of my writing, managed to keep a full time job, and am actively working towards being debt free by this time next year."

*Amazed at how many changes he has gone through ... *

"How about you my dear? How are you doing these days?"

*sips coffee whilst considering where to start ... *

"... well I had a bit of a health scare ... about the time I stopped writing ... it looked bad, but turned out not to be... thank goodness ... that gave me a bit of a reality check workwise ... so I resigned and took some time and went in a slightly different direction career wise ... that seemed good... until I was made redundant earlier this year ... I found another part time job ... but financially that doesn't add up ... have now secured additional work and looks like I'll be back working the hours I need to in the New Year ... "

*laughs*

" ... I won't bore you with the family health issues that have been going on ... we seem to move from one drama to another ... but strangely everyone has pulled through and survived the lot ... definitely 10/10 for resilience in my family!"

*My face reflects my concern as you talk about the health scare, and my cup of coffee remains on the table as I regard you seriously as you talk of your work troubles as well.*

"It does certainly sound like you've been through a lot my dear"

*I say, reaching to take a sip of my coffee before setting it down once more. I then make to rise from my chair, letting my hand slide along it's surface as I walk around it and slowly behind you.*

"All those troubles must have you full of tension."

*I say, daring to move a hand, warmed from the coffee cup to your shoulder.*

"Could I interest you in a shoulder and neck massage? It sounds like you could use it."

*My hand remains on your shoulder, not moving any farther until I get your permission, not wanting to push anything past a level you're not comfortable with.*

I nod and laugh reflecting on the past years and months.

"All those troubles must have you full of tension.
Could I interest you in a shoulder and neck massage?
It sounds like you could use it."


The light touch of Lucien's hand on my shoulder tempts me ... a temptation I am happy to give into.

"Well ... if you're offering... that sounds lovely ... "

*smiling I sigh softly happy to give myself up to Lucien's skilful ministrations.*
 
*The very moment I hear you give me your approval, my other hand rises to your other shoulder. I press with medium pressure behind your shoulders as my fingers work on the top. My breathing slows as I let myself enjoy both what I'm doing, and the soft sighs my efforts are pulling from you. My eyes glaze over as my hands shift from your shoulders to your neck, rubbing in slow circles with my thumbs at the back while my fingers now work on the sides.*

"Not good to let the tension build up for this long my dear."

*I whisper softly, almost seductively.*

"You may have to get in the habit of getting yourself pampered every now and again."

*Despite my words, my hands never stop working over your neck, shoulders, and upper back.*

My eyes glaze over as my hands shift from your shoulders to your neck, rubbing in slow circles with my thumbs at the back while my fingers now work on the sides.*

That first sigh deepens as hands move with firm pressure working to release the knot of tension that seems to be sitting in my shoulders ... Unaware of how much I was carrying until fingers ease shoulders to release. Indulging in soft sighs and biting back a moan of pure pleasure at the unfamiliar sensation ...

"Not good to let the tension build up for this long my dear."

The softness of his voice adds rather than detracts from the spell his fingers are conjuring.

"You may have to get in the habit of getting yourself pampered every now and again."

A soft sigh of regret.

"If only ... "

Is all I can murmur in response.

" ... and then I doubt if anyone could match your skills ... "

I pause to give an appreciative murmur.

"That feels incredible... "
 
*As I listen to your words, my hands ease your upper body slowly forward, until you're leaning on the table. Your new position lets my hands slide down the full length of your back, the muscles in my arms flexing as I add a bit of pressure as my hands slide down your spine.*

"Well now, that's an easy fix then isn't it?"

*I say as I lean forward a little, pressing the softest of kisses to your neck.*

"I'll just have to try and help you out with that as best I can as often as I can."

*My hands rotate before sliding up your back, and I press the heels of both hands press onto either side of your spine on their way upwards.*

"Did I miss anywhere my dear"

*I whisper in the same soft and seductive tone you enjoy so much.*
 
The press and stroke of hands moulds and eases my body. Supported by the table, my curved back now receives you ministrations seeming to open up the spine and ease the aches and inflexibility that so often resides there.

“Well now, that’s an easy fix then isn’t it?”

I have no time to query what is ‘easy’ about it when my body quivers in response to feather light kisses, drawing a soothed and sensual response.

“I’ll just have to try and help you out with that as best I can as often as I can.”

The offer takes me by surprise, one which is oh so pleasant.
Again the movement along my back holds my words at bay until that whispered question:

“Did I miss anywhere my dear”

A sigh rather than words escape me communicating satisfaction more effectively than mere vocabulary.

”I ... think ... you hit the spot ... in every way ... “

I respond breathlessly.
 
*Every one of your responses to each of my knowing ministrations lifts me the slightest bit higher. I bask in every one of them that pull from you.*

"Is there anything else I can do for you my dear, being as you do look far too relaxed to want to move any time soon."

*Even as I speak, my hands keep moving up and down your back, both knowing and enjoying all too well that my ministrations make it that much harder for you to collect your thoughts.*
 
"Is there anything else I can do for you my dear, being as you do look far too relaxed to want to move any time soon."

The soft purring sensuality of the question doesn nothing to draw me from the cocoon of warm relaxation which I seem to have sunk into ... the continued movement of your hands makes it difficult to process an acceptable answer...

"Groceries ... flowers ... coffee ... massage ... what more could I possible ask of you ... ?"

I murmur finally knowing I should regain my senses and take on the role of hostess sometime soon ... well ... soon enough ...
