She laughs at me. "Can you make this hunk of yours stay forever? I like this Bea."

I frown. "Is there something wrong with the other Bea?"

"Nothing at all, she's a lovely boss, but the one that came back from LA last week has been a real misery."

"I'm sorry about her, but beware, she'll be back next week. Make the most of this one."

She laughs and my mobile chimes again.

Later on, I arrive home with bags of food shopping and head to the shower to wash off today's layer of sugar. I have about an hour until Daniel comes home and I want to be clean and super-sexy, with dinner at the table. I re-apply my make-up and spritz myself with Chloe, before choosing a nightie from the pile in my drawer. I'm thrilled that I'm getting to wear one at last. Instead of a traditional nightie, I decide to wear the super-sexy, black corset style slip that has sheer panels running below the bra cups, between the satin. It has suspenders so I add some black stockings and my black satin stilettos.

I only have a short while to get dinner ready before Daniel gets home so I wrap my silky robe around me and head to the kitchen where I kick off my shoes to cook. I open the wine to let it breathe and set the table elegantly before efficiently making a start on the food.

Not long after, my potatoes are beautifully whipped, my green beans are artfully stacked on the plates and my steaks are about to come out of the pan when the buzzer for the front door goes. Perfect timing. I pour the melted garlic butter into a tiny jug and put it on the table before I answer.

"Hello?"

"Honey, I'm home..."
Daniel sings, making me laugh. I buzz the main door open and swiftly serve up the steaks. I ram the pans into the dishwasher and wipe the surfaces at double speed. I put the plates on the table, dim the lights and light the candles just as Daniel knocks on the door. I quickly slip my shoes on and throw my dressing gown behind the chair in the hall, before flicking my hair about and opening the door.

And there he is. Utterly gorgeous in his mega-expensive suit with a huge bunch of beautiful flowers in his arm. He stares at me, open mouthed as his eyes lick me from my head to my toes and back again.
Uh huh, baby, soak it in, you're gonna get some of this tonight!

Daniel briefly snaps out of it to hurry into the apartment, slamming the door behind him. "Don't want any of your neighbours seeing you, baby, jeez," he says, "you're the hottest thing, a
nd you're all mine. Come here." He drops his briefcase and reaches for me, wrapping his arm around my waist, pulling me against his chest with a thud. He leans down and takes my mouth with such animal force that my knees buckle and I want to totally forget dinner and make love right here, against the door. Finally, he releases me, taking another long look up and down my body. "I bought you these..." he hands me the beautiful flowers.

"Thank you Daniel, they're gorgeous."

"No, baby. You're gorgeous. Can we...?"

I giggle. "I'm afraid not, sir, dinner is served." I hold my hand out, gesturing towards the kitchen.

"Wow! That looks almost as good as you do, baby. You're spoiling me."

"You deserve to be spoiled," I say as I kiss him gently and return to the kitchen. Daniel removes his jacket and loosens his tie before we both sit.

"Wine, baby?" he asks as he picks up the bottle.

"Yes, please."

He pours the Temperanillo and raises his glass to toast. "To my
outstandingly
hot, sexy girlfriend, and the lingerie she's wearing. Thank you for dinner, baby."

"And to my gorgeous boyfriend, I love that you're here."

"Me too," he whispers before we both take a sip and tuck into our meal.

Daniel cleaned his plate, rejoicing how delicious everything was. We decided to have a break before dessert so retired to the lounge, where I lit a few more candles to continue the romantic ambience. Sitting together on the sofa, he kisses me gently on the lips. "Thank you, baby. Dinner was delicious and you look incredible, I can't wait to do things to you in that."

I smile and snuggle into him. "I look forward to it. Oh, before I forget..." I stand up again and walk into the hallway to my handbag, Daniel wolf whistling as I go.

"Christ, baby, your ass looks amazing in that thing, stockings are a hot look for you. Fuck, I'm a lucky guy."

"Lucky for a few days, anyway," I say, bringing us back to reality as I return to the sofa.

Daniel nods and then shakes his head, rolling his eyes, his demeanour changing to something less jovial. "Bea, you think you could stop doing that?"
Whoa... he looks serious. Cross even.

"Doing what?"

"Stop
that
. Every time I say anything about us, you add some comment about how it's not forever and it's really getting to me."

"Sorry, Daniel, I just have to keep grounded about this, I can't get carried away. I know how hideous it was without you for the last couple of weeks and how hideous it's going to be, again, when you leave. It isn't forever, Daniel, you know it can't be that way so why pretend it is? I don't know how many times I have to say it, I do not want a long distance relationship."

"What do you think this is, if not a long distance relationship, for god’s sake? Neither of us wants anyone else, heck, we love each other, Bea! This is what a long distance relationship is."

Oh fuck it.
How did we suddenly go from a gorgeous, romantic evening, to a barney? I sit back down next to him, feeling quite awkward and rather uncomfortable wearing this revealing outfit during an argument.

I look up at his face, he's so serious. "I understand that, and yes, I suppose this is a 'type' of long distance relationship, but I refuse to be heartbroken every single day that I'm not with you, waiting for the 'once in a blue moon trip' when you come here on business. Neither of us has met anyone else yet because there hasn't been any time to, but when we've been apart for months, we are both going to feel the strain of having a partner we never see. Love or no love. What's to say you won't find a great girl who would be perfect for you? You'd throw that away because you have me, in England? Unable to touch me, see me? Or of course you wouldn't throw it away and would end up breaking up with me anyway."

"Baby, you're so negative. Firstly,
you're
that perfect girl for me, I've never met anyone more perfect and don't think I ever will again. Secondly, why can't you have a ray of hope for the future? Why don't you think that, maybe, we'll find a solution? And you're the one who says I can only come when I'm on business, I'd come more often if you let me."

"I'm not negative, I'm realistic, Daniel, and as for your trips over here, you still wouldn't be able to take that much time off work, to make it often enough for me to miss you less."

"Well, we'll see. We'll talk about this again, let's try to get back on track and enjoy this romantic night, huh?"

"Ok, but I really don't see what's going to change between now, and our next conversation."

"Bea!" he says with exasperation, "I'm just trying to come back from an argument, ok?"

"Ok," I respond, nodding and looking at my hands in my lap, still feeling stupid in this bloody corset thing and stockings.

"Oh, here." I hold out my hand to Daniel and deposit a set of keys into his. "They are spare keys to my apartment, to use while you're here. I asked my mum to drop them at the shop earlier. You might need them."

He looks at me and smiles. "Thank you for thinking of me. I'm sorry, baby, I just want to feel like a normal couple, I suppose."

"I know. I'm sorry I'm not more positive, I just need to protect myself. Leaving you and being apart hurt so much, I'm not sure how many times I can go through that."

"Ok. Let's forget it, for now...
Baby?"

"Yes?"

He leans forward, to put the keys and his wine on the coffee table and the then turns back to me, holding my chin and gently kisses me. "I love you."

"I know you do, Daniel. Me too."

He continues to shower my face with soft kisses. "I love you... I love you..." he whispers between them and I close my eyes as the tingles run under my skin. The feel of his soft, warm lips on my body relieves all the tension from our 'discussion'. He slowly pushes me backwards until I am laying down, my head resting on the arm of the sofa. He crawls over me, lifting my legs onto the sofa under his arching body. I place my hands on his shoulders and enjoy his hands and lips seducing me.

I run my hands from his shoulders, up the sides of his face and into his hair as the pace picks up. I bend my leg, my inner thigh grazing his hard body through the thin, silky fabric of the stocking, it feels... sexy, different. Hot.
I start to remove Daniel’s tie, mid kiss, he's wearing far too much clothing, I want to feel his skin, I want him to feel my stocking clad legs, brushing against his flesh, I want his naked, ripped chest pressed against me.
Oh yes.
"Daniel," I murmur against his mouth, "I want to feel you."

He immediately kneels up and swiftly unbuttons his shirt and throws it off his shoulders before removing the cuff links. I hold out my hand, taking them from him. I look at them and smile, loving that he's actually been wearing them. By the time I have leant over to put them on the coffee table, Daniel has removed his shoes and socks and is pulling down his trousers and boxers.
Oh, heavens above. It gets me every time.

He immediately rests back down on top of me with a sexy smile, brushing my hair behind my ear
. "God, you're stunning, baby."

"I was just thinking something quite similar about you, actually, Daniel."

He leans down to kiss me again and as I bend my legs up his sides, he groans loudly and moves his hand down to my knickers, tugging them to the side and slowly slipping his fingers within my waiting folds.

"Oh, Daniel." I moan as he gently caresses my clitoris.

"Wrap your legs around me, baby."

As I do, he removes his fingers and sinks immediately deep inside me.

~~~~~~~

I lay, panting, crushed between Daniel's Herculean masculinity and my plush sofa, and he lifts his head from mine, looking down at our bodies, entwined.
"This picture is so hot, baby; you, in this, with your stocking-covered legs wrapped around me like that... jeez, this is what wet dreams are made of. I want to take a photo." He chuckles.

"Ha! No chance!"

Daniel laughs. "I know, baby, but it's so..." He growls and buries his face in my neck, kissing me, making me laugh out loud.

I reach around Daniel to my feet, crossed behind his back, and slip my shoes off, tossing them on the floor behind the sofa.
"Daniel?"

"Yes, baby?"

"Do you know when you have to leave yet?"

"Let's not talk about that now, Bea."

"I just want to relax, and if I know, I can mentally prepare myself. I'm scared you're just going to say 'I've got to go back tomorrow'."

"Don't worry, I'm not going tomorrow. Or Friday. In fact, I'm hoping I'll be here a few days beyond that. As I'm not going into the office on Friday, I may need to go in on Monday."

"Really? Oh goody! I don't mind you going in to work on Friday though, you know."

"No way, baby. Not a chance, it's your birthday."

I smile, knowing there is no argument here. He's so lovely, even when he was cross at me earlier, he was still lovely. How on earth did I find this man? I'm being punished for it, the universe has found me the most incredibly perfect man, but only giving me tiny tasters of him and then tearing him away from me.

"I was thinking, baby, why don't you ask Tilly and Clare over for dinner tomorrow night? I'd really like to catch up with Tilly and get to know Clare a little better, ideally before your birthday party."

"Sounds like a great idea, darling. I will, we can get a take away."

"I might be home a little later tomorrow, it's a big day for the restructure project, it's when the final decisions are due to be made as to
its viability, so I could have a lot of meetings to get through if any problems are detected."

"Ok, well that's not a problem, you can let me know when you're on your way home and I'll arrange the food then."

"Perfect, I'll use the car again tomorrow, it might be easier."
