Follow the sound of my heartbeat.
Before Longshot, Robbie and Miyuki had left for camp, Alison had politely, but firmly asked Robbie and Miyuki to find fun diversions in camp. Lengthy ones. She wanted her husband all to herself at least until sunset.
It took about an hour to organize, but when Alison finally retired upstairs, the lights were out and the shades drawn on all the floors. The only illumination came from tiny, floating candles in shallow water dishes placed on every other step on the stairs. One the landing of each floor, she had placed an item for him to find.
On the first floor, at the bottom of the stairs, a CD copy of his favorite French singer's newest album was tied with a gold ribbon. A tag attached to the ribbon read, Follow the lights.
On the second floor, a package wrapped in shiny red paper and silk ribbon. The tag read, Don't open this yet.
On the third floor landing, a second package was wrapped in white, shiny paper and ribbon. The tag read, Not yet. Keep moving.
On the fourth, two long-stemmed wine glasses waited for him.
The candles continued up the stairs to their bedroom. Inside, dozens of red candles of every size were lit in containers all over the bedroom. Spread out in front of the balcony doors was a soft fleece blanket. Several covered dishes were set out on it and two bottles chilled in a bucket of ice.
The tiny, floating candles created a path from the door to the bathroom where rose scented steam rolled out from under the door. Inside, Alison was sitting on the edge of the filled bathtub in a red silk robe. She drew small circles on the tile at her feet with her toe and waited for her husband to arrive. Hopefully, it would be before the food or the water got cold.

She smiled and took a sip of hers.

As he took another sip, he reached out his other hand to trace a small circle on the back of one of hers. He swallowed before speaking. There was the thought that dribbling wine into the carefully prepared bath might have been a breach of etiquette somehow. He didn't care about etiquette, but he knew his wife did a little. "So, when do I get to unwrap my presents?"

She smiled and caught his hand, holding it gently for a moment.
"Your call, sweetheart. Whenever you want."

"How about after you help scrub me down? I wanna smell good for my surprises." He grinned.

She grinned and set her wine glass on the sink as she moved around to kneel behind him again. She took a washcloth and soaked it in the scented water and lathered it from a bar of sweet smelling soap.
The cloth moved over his skin softly, starting just under his chin and scrubbing down his neck and chest. She kissed his cheek softly as she leaned over from behind him.

She was making it about him today, so he didn't feel too bad about softly nibbling on her neck. She still tasted great since last time. These quality checks were important. Even if she had never failed one yet.
