Antics of Anticipation
It has been drizzling since morning and there was a calm within the office today. The chaotic symphony of numbed background chatter combined with the systemic click-clacks of keyboards and telephone ring-rings seemed distant at this point. The heat of the words are still vivid from this morning, etched in his brain like a branding of hot iron. In a tiny moment of clarity, Dean shifted in his chair to sit up straight and let out a silent sigh.
“I look forward to seeing you after work tonight,” said Aurora with his face in her palms “I have something special planned for tonight” she reinforced as gently as a feather drop before turning to leave for work, sending a sliver of chill down his spine. He knew then and there, whatever it is, it will be significant.
Thinking back to their last interaction, Dean could feel the warmth on his cheeks, coloring them burnt baby pink. Almost immediately becoming immensely aware of the present environment he was in, cleared his throat to divert his mind for the nth time today. Contrary to the pacificity of the office, there was a smoldering fire burning within his core. As excited as he was to get home and prepare before she got home, a part of him was exhaling shallow shaky breaths just thinking about all the ways she could potentially break him. The masochist in him craved that sort of dangerous attention. The fact that She held his face so close to hers, allowing him to gather the hint of her perfume radiating from her blue dress shirt, hardly helped.
“Are you okay Dean? You seem far away,” said Alex, who was walking past Dean’s desk, file clutched in one hand, adjusting his glasses with the other while he briefly paused to check on his friend.
“Y-yes.. Just running something in my mind,” said Dean, almost through clenched teeth, trying and praying for Alex to not notice the remnant of the blush.
Momentarily furrowing his brows, Alex inspected his friend for a hot five seconds. Enough to make Dean shift in his chair and clear his throat again.
“Okaaay then, see you at lunch,” he said before pepping away in a brisk walk.
Dean promptly pulled up his IM tab out of solemn duty and typed “I can’t wait for tonight, almost got caught blushing”
“Attaboy, I love you,” read her reply almost instantly like she was waiting for those words exactly. Dean smiled knowing how much she loves to make him blush in public for the sheer joy of humiliation.
“I love you” He replied and with that he focused on channeling his energy and started working on his assignment.

Later that evening Aurora parked the car in the driveway, adjusting the rear view mirror to catch her reflection and smiling knowing exactly what awaits her inside their house. She grabs her bottle and purse on the way out and with the tell-tale sound of the queek-queek, she locks the car behind her. Making her way through the walkway between the front yard, she could smell the stale sweetness of the lavenders lining the concrete. With the sun about to set, the auburn sky has cleared up for the night to come, no sign of any more rain in the weather reports for the day. She has been looking forward to this day for about a month now. All that time visualizing her perfect present for Dean and all that waiting for it to be made at the jewelers have finally come to pass. She clutched her purse with excitement knowing that it contained precious cargo within. As she reached the front door, she tried to neutralize her expression so she wouldn’t give anything away before the big reveal. Aurora stood at the doorway momentarily, brushed down her blouse and rang the doorbell with flutters in her gut. She liked the sense of coming home after a long day at work. She liked coming home to him. It never takes long for the door to be answered.

It has been sometime over six months now since Aurora and Dean entered into a female led relationship. As individuals, they were so different and yet due to their shared condition of afflicted kinkism, they turned out to be extremely compatible. While Dean has always loved being pampered with cuddles and attention, Aurora on the other hand was exactly like how you’d imagine a snuggle shark to be. Their chemistry was sizzling since the very first day they met, all it took was for her intense brown eyes to look into his starved blues. She termed it the “subby bubby” eyes which is the equivalent of the “fuck me" eyes in vanilla relationships. It didn’t take them long at all to claim one another. In fact, on the very first day they met for their first date, she invited him back to her place. She thought about that moment a lot prior to going on their first date but instinct took over and planning flew out the window as soon as they got to her room and she locked the door behind them. The fact that Dean kept putting her fingers into his mouth and sucking on them through the taxi ride to her place didn’t help at all. Now of course she wanted more, she wanted to make him her’s in every way possible and she did. Needless to say, she got her fill for the “subby bubby” eyes that night. And they say, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, what a load of crap.
