An erotic short story
A surprise birthday party set up by my mother, with all my loved ones gathered, was only the start. The surprise dinner my lover took me to after was far more enjoyable—once I realised his nervousness wasn’t about him wanting to break up with me, but rather wanting to spend the rest of our life together.
And after? Well, then it was time to do what I did best: tie Gray up and have my wicked way with him. And that, everyone, is definitely the most enjoyable part of it all.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
I stopped right inside the threshold of my flat and looked around in surprise at all my friends and family gathered in my living room. Once the initial shock wore off, a grin slowly spread on my lips.
“Twenty-four years old, honey. How does it feel?” My mother came up to me to hug me tightly. The smell of her perfume washed over me, but I was so used to the smell it didn’t even phase me. She’d always used that perfume, at least as long as I could remember. Hugs and affections in general was something my family always gave enough off.
“No different than twenty-three.” I smiled at her as I pulled back. My sisters were upon me in that second; the younger hugging me somewhat timidly before drawing away, while the older jumped on me so I had to grab onto her to keep her from crashing to the floor.
Next up were friends, workmates. My best friend in the whole world came up to hug me tightly. To my surprise, even my boyfriend’s best friend was there, shaking my hand and wishing me a happy birthday. This was particularly surprising, because I didn’t think the bloke even liked me.
When I’d allowed everyone to have their little piece of me, I let my eyes scan the room to find my man. Grayson was standing in the kitchen-doorway, his eyes twinkling and a small smile playing on his lips. He grinned wider as he noticed me looking at him.
I hurried over to him. I threw my arms around his shoulders, hugging him close. “Did you arrange this?”
His strong arms wrapped around me. “No, your mother did. I’ve arranged the rest of our evening, though.”
I backed away so I would be able to look up at him curiously. “What have you got planned for us, babe?”
He shrugged. “A reservation at the finest restaurant in town.”
My eyebrows rose. “Are you spoiling me today, Grayson?”
“Of course I am. It’s your birthday. Today’s all about you.” He dipped his head down to brush his lips over mine in a soft kiss. I knew how uncomfortable it made him to be affectionate in public, so I stood my place and simply let him direct the kiss for once.
