For some it is a day to eat chocolate but me, I have a buzzing in my tummy and love on my mind.

I pour a drop or two of my favorite Allure Sensuelle shower gel into my running bath and gently lower my body into the fragrant water. Candlelight reflects off of the water and there is a soothing glow in the room. Sweet crooning sounds of Michael Buble echo around me. My eyes closed, I visualize the evening to come and enjoy the sensation of the water against my skin; from the soft nape of my neck to my perfectly manicured toes.

Plush pink satin overlaid with fine French floral black lace, finished with luxurious ribbon slotted French lace trim and eternally sexy black satin bows. Nothing makes me feel sexier than beautiful, feminine lingerie.

Body lotion, perfume, I smell divine and I know he will think so too.

The newly purchased black dress slides over the hips and I reach back to zip it up. All but not fully - that will be my lover’s job.

Hair is sleek, shiny and flowing down my back. It feels like many fingers brushing against the bare skin on my back.

Lips are glossy, skin glowing, and eyes sparkling. Bring on the action.

A knock at the door. My evening begins…
