Sarah Ties a Blue Silk Tie

==============

I tied Thomas's tie for him this morning.

I always tie his tie for him. The opportunity doesn't come up often, of course, only for specific events. He jokes that the best thing about working for a landscaping company is that he never has to wear a tie. For the first year of our relationship, he didn't even own a suit.

We started saving for a suit when my mother got sick knowing that, unless there was a miracle, there would be a funeral to attend within the coming months. I barely remember us buying it, now. Buying clothes specifically for a sadness that you know is approaching and you cannot avoid is such a bewildering ritual.

I tied his tie for him the day of the funeral because I was despondent, frantic about not being late, and because if I didn't do something with my hands, I knew I'd break down. He let me do it, quiet, solid, supportive. He thanked me, hugged me hard, said that it was a relief that I had done it for him. He said that he had been worried that it had been so long since he had tied a tie that he wasn't sure if he even remembered how. He was probably exaggerating, but it was exactly what I needed at that moment. I felt warm and loved and necessary. I was grateful. The rest of that terrible day passed in a combination of searing detail and blurry sadness.

After the funeral, I went about the work of rebuilding my reality, Thomas anchored me, and the suit went back into plastic until it was time for us to get dressed for our friends' wedding the following summer.

I was not prepared for my reaction when I saw him in the suit again. We had booked a crappy motel room, too far from the reception hall for both of us to be able to enjoy the open bar, but it was all we could afford at the time. He had gone back to school for a landscape architecture program, in the hopes of furthering his career and eventually starting his own business.

I had been applying my makeup in the bathroom, and when I came out and saw him in the suit, tie still untied around his neck, I was awash with emotion. Details of my mother's funeral I had long since forgotten came flooding back: Thomas holding my hand during the service, bringing me coffee and water throughout the reception afterwards, quickly introducing himself to far-distant relatives so that I wouldn't be embarrassed when my muddled brain couldn't place them. All over again, I was overwhelmed with love and gratitude for this man who had taken care of me when I needed it most.

But this time, I noticed how absolutely gorgeous he looked, all dressed up. The suit itself was nothing special, but it showcased his broad shoulders and strong physique. Only his calloused hands gave him away as someone unaccustomed to a suit, but even they were softening a little as he now spent more time behind a computer, rather than a mower. I walked over to him, carefully tied his tie, and then pulled him into a lingering kiss.

He held my hand during the ceremony. During a musical interlude, while the happy couple signed the registry, the thumb of the hand holding mine began to move. Thomas slowly caressed my thumb, the palm of my hand, the inside of my wrist. Up, around, over, under.

Suddenly, I felt faint with arousal. It was as if my hand was transmitting the sensations to my entire body. I was overwhelmed with the knowledge of two truths: the first, how completely we were going to satiate ourselves on each others' bodies that night; the second, how many hours separated this church from our motel bed.

During dinner at the reception, while we were chatting with the other guests and while Thomas was pouring me a glass of white, he reached under the table casually and put his hand on my leg, just above the knee. It was on top of my dress, but right at the hem. Then his thumb started to move again. Slowly, gently.

After a few minutes, he lifted his hand and moved it under my dress and resumed his ministrations. His hand was in the same place as before - there was nothing remotely scandalous about it - but I could feel my neck get hot and it was all I could do not to grind my pussy into the chair. When the food arrived, he withdrew his hand and made pleasant, bland conversation with our tablemates while I tried to regain my composure.

We circled the room separately after dinner ended, smiling, chatting, hugging old friends. I would glance up periodically to find him and he'd be looking back at me with a smile, or the ghost of a wink. When we came together in the room, he'd put a hand on me, around my waist or on the small of my back. That hand was never still; sometimes he would stroke me gently, other times press the pads of his fingers into me, a tiny massage that promised so much more. He brought me another glass of wine, telling me that I should enjoy myself, that he would drive us home at the end of the night.

By the time we were on the dance floor, his hands slowly moving up and down my back, up under my hair to the nape of my neck, down to the base of my spine, was practically leaping out of my dress for him. He was murmuring into my ear about how he was going to take me back to the motel and open me, first with his fingers and then his tongue. How he was going to make me come.

I pulled him even closer so I could feel him hardening against my stomach and, buoyed up by wine and desire, whispered to him how I wanted to feel his cock in my hands, rub it over my face, push it into my mouth.

That night at the motel we fucked for hours. As soon as we got into our room, I dropped to my knees, unbuckled his pants, and sucked the head of his cock into my mouth, using the tip of my tongue to gather up his precum. My hands stroked his stomach, his ass, his balls, until he groaned, pulled me to my feet, lifted my dress off over my head, and laid me on the bed.

Despite how desperate I was, he teased me relentlessly, running his hands over my body with just the tips of his fingers, kissing his way down my stomach until he finally touched his tongue to my clit, bringing me over the edge over and over until I thought I might expire with pleasure. We wallowed in each other, switching positions again and again, until I rode him to our final climax and collapsed, drained and sated, onto his chest.

"Mmmmm. We should get dressed up and go out more often." he had said, as I nestled myself sleepily into the crook of his arm.

"You look really, really good in that suit," I murmured, kissing his chest.

So when Thomas came into the kitchen in his suit this morning and asked me to tie his tie for him, my body reacted instinctively, my nipples hardening, a familiar thrum beginning to beat between my legs. But I knew he was nervous and preoccupied; he was on his way to two different job interviews.

When he graduated, he told me that he didn't want me to buy him any gifts. "We'll wait," he said firmly, "until we have more money."

But on graduation day, I gave him a second dress shirt and a second tie. The tie was blue silk, to match his eyes. It wasn't much, but it was something.

"You'll need these," I said, "for when you meet with all of your fancy clients."

He grinned, running his fingers over the tie. "Thank you, sweetie. I love it."

"That tie is going to bring you luck," I told him, standing on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek. "I can feel it."

And he's worn that tie to every job interview he's had. But the interview this afternoon? That's the job he really wants. He'd be working with the city, helping to design their parks.

"If I get this job," he keeps telling me, "we can probably move out of this shitty apartment within a year." I don't mind our apartment; the only thing that matters is that he lives in it with me. But I know that this job would make him happy, and I want it for him.

So I kept my lustful feelings to myself. I made him a coffee to go while he wolfed down a slice of toast and grabbed an apple for the road. I kissed him goodbye, tidied up the kitchen, and then drifted restlessly into the living room.

If only we had the money for me to surprise him by taking him out for a really nice dinner, I thought. I have the next few days off, and he deserves it.

I let my mind drift to everything I would plan for him, if we had the money. A new, sexy dress to excite him. A taxi to a fancy restaurant, where we'd order cocktails and then wine with dinner. Then a different place for dessert: some chic little overpriced café.

I want to do something really special for him. I thought, a bit morosely. If only. But there must be something... what could I do...

And that is how I find myself here now, soaking in the bathtub, brimming with nerves, an hour before Thomas is due home.

I spent the day preparing.

I went out this afternoon to get takeout from our favourite Thai noodle house and put it in containers in the fridge to keep it fresh.

I dragged our most comfortable armchair out of the living room and into the bedroom. I have placed it at the foot of our bed, carefully measuring so that I know there will be room enough for me in front of it, so that there won't be any need for adjustments later.

I have put a note on our apartment door, another on the kitchen counter, and a third on the chair.

With each movement, each preparation, I became more and more excited and nervous. And now that I'm in the tub, going over and over the plan in my mind, my heart is racing, and a dull pulse has begun to beat between my legs.

My hands float through the water and up over my breasts as I think about Thomas. I think about his body, his hands, his smile. I think about how he teases and plays with my body with his lips and his fingers and his tongue until I am shaking, begging, coming over and over. He has studied me, mapped and catalogued each sensitive place on my body so that he can return to it again and again. I think about the number of times I have lost myself under his body and I am washed away in sensation.

My right hand has drifted down to my pussy; it is slick even beneath the bathwater. My left hand teases my breasts; my hard nipples buoyed to the surface between the bubbles. My feet press against the end of the tub so that I can rock my hips against my fingers. The water moves over my body as my pleasure builds, but before I take myself over the edge, I reluctantly take my hands away. I want my first orgasm tonight to be with him. For him.

I step out of the bath and pull the plug. Towelled dry and in my robe, I check again to make sure that the blinds are down and the window is closed.

I might be loud tonight.

I check my phone. He'll only be ten minutes away now. I pad down to the kitchen in bare feet and pour him a glass of white. It's cheap, but drinkable. I place it on the counter next to my note, and go back to the bedroom. I change out of my robe and into my clothes for the evening, and then slip into our tiny second bedroom. And I wait.

The minutes tick by. My nerves are jangling. I'm excited, I can feel my thighs growing wet with my juices. He's not even in the house yet and I want him so badly.

But it takes every ounce of strength that I have not to abandon my plan, rush around the apartment, make it look normal, and put on my comfy sweats and wait for him on the sofa, like I always do. I've never done anything like this.

What if he doesn't like it?

But he will like it, won't he?

I wait.

Finally, I hear the key in the lock. He must have seen the first note under the key hooks, directing him to his drink on the kitchen counter. For a moment, I panic: what if this is a mistake; what if the interviews didn't go well? But as he calls out for me, I can hear the laughter and curiosity in his voice.

"Sarah?" he calls. "Sarah, sweetie? Where are you? What's all this?"

And when I hear his voice, my nerves calm. It's Thomas. I know him. It's going to be okay. It's not going to be too much. He's going to like it.

He's going to love it.

I remain silent.

I can hear him coming down the hall towards the bedroom.. I have to stifle a laugh. IDIOT. The note said specifically that he should sit in the kitchen and enjoy his glass of wine with today's newspaper. I wanted to build the anticipation, the suspense. I should have known that he would be too curious to follow my instructions.

I love him so much.

"Sarah?" He has gone into our bedroom door now. "Sarah, what's..."

I hear him stop. He has seen the chair at the foot of the bed. He must now be seeing the note that says "RESERVED FOR THOMAS" and the one beneath it that says "Call me when you are sitting comfortably."

I hear him laugh again and settle into the chair.

"Ok, honey," he calls, playfully, "I'm 'sitting comfortably.' What's going on? Where are you?"

I take a deep breath and emerge from the second bedroom, wearing one of his dress shirts and ties. And nothing else.

The tie, the first tie I ever saw him in, is a deep burgundy. The shirt is crisp white. I ironed it this afternoon, so it would be perfect. It falls down over my hips. For all he knows, I'm wearing panties underneath.

I'm not.

His eyes light up, and his hand seems to grip his drink a little harder.

"Baby!" He says this with surprise, but a smile is already playing on his lips. "What's all this?"

I fold my arms in mock disappointment and look pointedly down at his drink. "You were SUPPOSED to finish that downstairs, Thomas. My note made that quite clear. Do you have trouble following simple instructions?"

He laughs and reaches for me. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait to see you. Come here."

I step away from him. "Finish your drink, please."

He keeps his eyes on me with amusement as he lifts and drains the glass. I suppress a smile. That wine is NOT good enough to drink that quickly.

I hold out my hand for his empty glass, he gives it to me, and I put it on the dresser. "Thank you, sir."

Thomas reaches for me again. "Come here, sweetie. You look so sexy in my shirt. Are you wearing anything under there?"

I almost melt, I almost give in and fall into his arms. I'm so desperate to feel his hands on my body.

But I don't.

"I will, but first I'm going to need you to do exactly what I say. I want you to put your hands on the arms of your chair. And then keep them there. No matter what. Okay?"

A slow smile spreads across his face. He lays one forearm, then the other, on the arms of the chair.

"And leave them there, Thomas. I mean it."

No words. Just a slow nod. And that smile.

I step forward so that I am right beside the chair, still facing him. I put my hands on the back of the chair, just behind his shoulders, lean in and kiss him. The kiss is gentle at first, but quickly becomes deeper and more intense. It's incredibly erotic; the only contact between us is our lips and tongues. I deepen the kiss and, without thinking, he brings his hand up to slide it around my neck, then pushes it up into my hair.

Immediately, I break the kiss. "Ahem. What did I say?"

He groans. "Baby, come on, you're killing me."

I smile. "Uh huh. That's the idea." I take his hand and put it back down on the arm of the chair.

I lean in to kiss him again. He moans into my mouth, and I can sense him shifting his hips, but he keeps his hands where I asked.

I break away again. "See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" He tilts his head and looks at me ruefully.

I kiss him on his cheek, his ear, his neck, as my hands move to his neck to loosen his tie, his blue silk tie. The blue silk tie that I gave him. "

You'll need it," I had told him. Now I need it. I pull it off him slowly, and loop it, undone, around my neck.

One by one, I open the buttons of his shirt, ghosting my fingertips across his collarbone, over his nipples, down his chest, across his stomach. He shudders, his jaw slackens, and his eyes become glassy. I can tell he's doing everything he can not to reach for me again. I step back.

"Take it off, hand it to me, and then hands back on the chair, Thomas."

He does. So obedient, I think, and I feel a little thrill of power. I take the shirt from him.

I leave him for a moment and slowly cross the room to toss his shirt into the hamper. I can feel his gaze burning into me as I come back, hips swaying, until I am standing in front of him again. I tilt my head to the side and, with a little smile, I slowly lift his blue tie up and over my head.

I bend over his right arm and use the tie to secure his wrist to the arm of the chair.

It's tight. For a moment he snaps out of his reverie. "Oh my God, honey."

I grin at him, and stand back up. Without breaking eye contact, I bring my hands to my own neck, and slowly undo the tie I am wearing. When the two ends are dangling around my neck, I start to unbutton my shirt. One by one, as slowly as I can bear, I slip each button through its hole, revealing a sliver of my neck, then my chest, then my stomach. If I angled myself sideways, he could see the swell of my breasts, but not quite glimpse a nipple.

I leave the last few buttons fastened: a tease for later.

I pull the tie out from behind my collar and move to his left side. This time, I know when I bend over to tie his wrist to the chair, he can see my breasts gently swaying, my hard nipples. But now he can't reach out to me; he is helpless now.

I lean in to kiss him again, my hands against his chest. I feel his muscles, rippling warm, just We devour each others' mouths until we are panting.

I stand straight again, and run my fingers down my neck and into the V of my open shirt. Gently, I push the fabric to one side so that my left breast is exposed. I circle my hard nipple with my fingertips, and the sensation shoots straight to my clit.

"Mmmmmmm," I say, looking down at him. "Ooooohhhhh, that feels good. Do you want to kiss it, honey?" And I put my arm on the back of the chair to stabilize myself, and lean forward towards his mouth.

He moans. Usually I'm shy about dirty talk, but I have decided that I will try it, and I'm emboldened by his response. His mouth has opened and his eyes are fixed on my nipple.

At first, my breast is barely within his reach. He has to stretch his tongue out through the air just to brush my nipple with the tip of his tongue. It's the tiniest touch, but the weight of my breast pulling away from my body seems to amplify the sensation, and my clit throbs. He flicks his tongue across my sensitive bud again. I can't help it; my hips buck forward into space and I gasp. I lean forward, giving him more, and immediately his lips close around me and he groans and sucks and licks everywhere that his mouth can reach.

I lean down over him and watch him at my nipple. He's needy, ravenous. My knees weaken. I moan again and feel another gush from within my pussy. Soon I'll be wet all the way down my thighs, I think. I shift my weight and lower my face to kiss him again. My wet, exposed nipple grazes his chest, and he inhales sharply. I feel another pang, a hot weight, deep in my core.

I kiss my way down his neck, his chest. I kneel between his spread legs to kiss his stomach. can feel his cock through his pants as he shifts, unable to keep still. I run my tongue along the line of his pants, and then move lower.

I put my mouth on his hard cock and breathe on it, warming him through the fabric. His hips buck up against me, doing anything he can to increase the pressure, the friction. I move up and down his cock, mouthing it, feeling it twitch and pulse in his pants.

"Fffffuuuuucckk." He whispers. I moan against him, and I know that he can feel the vibrations of my voice against him, making him buck again, harder. I love feeling his cock against my face. I move to feel it against my cheeks, my eyelids, and then back to my mouth. Then I push away and sit on the bed, facing him, watching his whole body flex and shift against the ties. He can't sit still.
