And, luckily, I wasn't the only one who felt this occasion special. Linda, my girlfriend, had racked her poor brain trying to come up with that "special" gift for me. She hadn't been having much luck either. Whenever we were together she would try to determine just what it was that would thrill me beyond comprehension by asking inane questions like "If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would be the one thing you'd want to have more than anything else in the world?" "Clean underwear" I answered, but I don't think that was quite the response she had in mind. Anyway, it went like this every day until the big one finally arrived. Though each day throughout her search she had been somewhat subdued, even a little depressed at her inability to unearth my gift, I must say that on my birthday her mood changed. She was giddy and could hardly contain herself. It was obvious to me then that her long awaited brainstorm had finally struck. This was going to be no ordinary birthday party. Ever the sly one, Linda invited me out to an early movie. No dinner, just a movie. O.K., I thought, at least this way our friends would know exactly how much time they would have to set up my surprise party. I couldn't help but smile at Linda's thinking she could fool me with such a ridiculous ruse. The appointed hour arrived as did Linda, at precisely six-thirty that evening. She knocked on the door, more for effect than to gain entry (she had her own key). And what an effect! As I opened the door there stood, framed in the opening, an apparition of such loveliness that my heart began to race, sending that warm tingle of lust in a southerly direction. Now I knew why I hadn't heard from her since early that Saturday. It was obvious that she had spent the entire day at a salon preparing for our date. She looked sensational from head to toe. Her long chestnut hair was done in loose, soft curls which gently cascaded over her shoulders, framing her oval face and giving it an elegance I must confess I hadn't seen before. Her eyes, huge and brown, which had always betrayed her soul to me, were now transformed into smouldering, sexy ornaments which hung beneath elaborately decorated lids in shades of green and grey. Her lashes were long but not heavy and her brows shaped to frame them perfectly. Her cheeks wore a slight blush making them look as soft as I knew they were. And her lips...God those lips! A woman's beauty is the sum of her parts but some parts have higher point values than others. And so it is with Linda's lips. She has lips as full and sensuous as any you'll ever see on any woman. So you can understand why I was more than delighted to see them painted with that sort of deep red gloss that you might see a model wear in a Robert Palmer video. Evidently, she was delighted to see that I was delighted as those wondrous lips curled into one of her trademark ear-to-ear grins revealing her gleaming white teeth. I stood back to take in the rest of her. Turning my gaze downward, I saw that she was wearing her full-length leather coat which hung open to reveal an outfit that was new to me. She wore a champagne colored blouse of silk which flattered her breasts to say the least. She complemented it with the gold necklace I had bought for her last Christmas. With the silk blouse she wore a dark brown leather skirt which was rather tight and rather short; an item of clothing which I was unaccustomed to seeing her in. I quickly became accustomed, however, when I saw those lovely long legs of hers protruding from under it. She wore dark brown stockings and had on matching brown high-heeled pumps. Add to this outfit assorted jewelry and a provocative scent, and hopefully you will have some idea of what caused the enormous erection that now throbbed in my trousers. Alerted by this warning, Linda stopped posing and hurried past me into the apartment. With a knowing smile she grabbed my coat from the arm of the couch and dropped it across my arm as she sped past me and out into the hallway, narrowly missing my attempt to corral her into my arms. Smart girl. Continued in LNDAGFT2.STY --
