Chapter 15

Friday morning arrived with soft golden light filtering through the bedroom curtains, the rain from the previous days finally giving way to a warm, clear spring day. Rob and Elise moved through their familiar early-morning rhythm, shared coffee in the kitchen, quiet conversation over toast and fruit, a lingering kiss at the door before Rob headed out. Elise stayed behind, already in comfortable leggings and one of Rob’s old hoodies, settling in at her desk by the large living-room window that overlooked the sunny cul-de-sac.

Rob backed out of the driveway a little after eight. As he shifted into drive, movement in the upstairs window of number fourteen caught his eye. Ella stood there, completely topless, holding a steaming mug of coffee in one hand. Her full, heavy breasts were on full display, nipples tight in the cool morning air. She noticed him immediately and smiled, slow, knowing, and unashamed. Raising her free hand, she gave a small, elegant wave.

Rob felt heat flare low in his belly. He returned the wave with a grin, holding her gaze for a heartbeat longer than necessary before pulling away. The image of Ella’s bare breasts and that confident smile stayed with him the entire drive into the city, making the morning commute far more enjoyable than usual.

His day unfolded in the usual mix of meetings and problem-solving. At the office he reviewed drawings and answered emails, then drove out to the North Shore site visit in the early afternoon. The contractor had concerns about some structural detailing on the new waterfront home. Rob spent a couple of hours walking the site with hard hat and blueprints, discussing adjustments and reassuring the crew. By late afternoon everything was resolved, and he headed home feeling productive and satisfied.

Meanwhile, Elise had enjoyed a peaceful morning working from home. She positioned her laptop at the window, soaking in the warm spring sunlight that poured across her desk. Birds chirped outside, and the neighbourhood felt bright and alive after days of rain. She made solid progress on her AI project, fingers flying across the keys.

Just before eleven, her phone buzzed with a text from Ella.

Good morning, little one. Confirming dinner tonight at 7? Looking forward to having you both over.

Elise’s heart gave a quick, excited flutter. She typed back immediately: 7pm sounds perfect. We’ll be there.

She set the phone down, but her mind refused to settle. Fantasies flickered through her head, what Ella’s house might look like inside. A hidden dungeon? A sleek, modern playroom filled with leather and polished wood? Ropes hanging from the ceiling? The images made her shift in her chair, warmth blooming between her thighs. She forced the naughty thoughts aside with a soft laugh and made herself focus back on her code, though the anticipation lingered all afternoon.

Rob arrived home just before five. They greeted each other with a long kiss in the entryway, then headed upstairs to get ready. They decided to dress up a little for the occasion. Rob chose a pair of tailored dark trousers, a crisp light-blue button-up shirt, and a casual navy jacket, no tie. Elise slipped into her new little black dress, a sleek, figure-hugging piece that clung to her slim waist and pert ass, the neckline showing just enough cleavage to be alluring without trying too hard. She added simple heels and left her dark hair loose around her shoulders.
