Erotic Love in the Springtime

Welcome to another stop on the Romance Writers Behaving Badly Blog Tour.

You should have entered from Keta Diablo's blog. I hope you had fun and are ready for more!

I'm stuck in Michigan with nothing but "white stuff" around me so it's hard to think of Springtime. However, every March is when I look forward to flowers and gardens. So for this blog tour post I thought about gardens, grabbed a clean sheet of paper, and started up my dirty mind.

How to have a indoor garden party for two.

1. Stop at a store and pick up several bouquets of flowers and place them into smaller vases around the house. Decorate the house with silk and/or grapevines; drape them around door frames, windows, lamps, etc. This will give the appearance of a garden.

2. Light floral fragrances - incense or candles to increase the garden fragrance. Open a window for a bit of fresh air or a soft breeze.

3. Place a tray of strawberries, cut kiwi, pineapple, any kind of fresh fruit along with a small bowl of chocolate sauce for dipping. Make sure to include a soft paint brush as well to use the chocolate sauce for body paint.

4. Pop in one of those nature CD's into the stereo. Something with soft jazz and birds. (Target has a nice selection.) For a night time interlude, I suggest a CD of soft rain. However, there are some really nice CD's of music with thunderstorms and music with night animals (wolves for those into werewolves.)


5. Have a couple of silk scarves handy & a blindfold. Be prepared to play a fun little game. Take turns blindfolding & tying each other up, and caress the skin with the fruit & chocolate. Because of the fragrances, senses are on high and everything is much more sensual and seductive. Even the most ordinary of things such as a flower, becomes erotic against the skin.

6. Leave trails of flower petals to a romantic surprise. Sprinkle your bed with flower petals. Save three whole flowers just for you.
7. Lay on the bed, wearing only the three flowers.

Earlier in the day, you slipped a chocolate key (you found at candy store or online) into his lunch, brief case, or where ever he will find it. The key has an invitation attached. The invitation is "to come into my garden". The key is "to unlock your gate". For some extra fun, place another chocolate key upon "your garden" but your honey has to eat that one.

When your honey comes home you will be waiting... with flowers on.

Have fun!!!!
