The Trouble With Surprises



The Trouble with Surprises

After the last episode at the site the other day, as much as he hated doing it he called a halt to the house construction project for ten days. He gave the workers half pay and hoped they would return when he was ready for them.  This deserved a break too.

He knew he had to get Erica out of there. Her feeling sorry for accidentally closing the door on his hand wasn’t going to last very long.  He had suggested she take a week at her favorite spa – she told him she would rather spend the time with him and then asked if he was trying to get rid of her.  Actually he was.  He knew she was bored to tears and she was making life miserable for both of them.  It was beginning to affect the project because she was constantly making demands and interrupting the workers with question after question.  She had been over his knee more in the last three weeks than in the last three years. 

When he told her his decision he asked what she would like to do for the next ten days.  She hugged him and told him he was the best husband in the world and whatever he decided would be okay with her.  He knew she missed the hustle and bustle of their old life so he arranged a trip to Arizona.  If they stayed in Scottsdale, she would have all the excitement she craved and he would have a chance to check out Taliesin West and get some ideas. He loved the coloring and contouring of the southwest and wanted to see if it would fit into his design plans for their new home.

He told her to pack casually and for a warmer climate but he kept their destination a surprise. April in Arizona was beautiful with warm sunny days and cool evenings. The desert was in full bloom at this time of year and the panoramas always managed to take his breath away. 

“But aren’t we taking the motor home?” she asked

“No, we are not.  We will be using other means of transportation”

“But I thought we would be taking our home with us, now I have to pack” she whined.

“Well, we are not.  You have been complaining about being stuck here with nothing to do, I thought you would be happy to be getting away from it”

“I was not complaining about being here, just not having your company.”

“If that wasn’t complaining, then I better check the dictionary because I don’t know the meaning of that word” he told her.

“I just want to spend some time with you.  You are always at that site and pay less and less attention to me”.

“It seems to me you have been getting quite a bit of my attention lately”

“That’s not what I mean and you know it.  You have just turned in a curmudgeonly old man, spanking me every chance you get”

“Are you telling me you don’t think you deserved any of those spankings?”

She smiled at him with that little grin that just melted his heart and answered “well, maybe one or two of them”.

He smiled back at her and told her to get her fanny in gear now or she would be getting some more attention shortly.

“You are such a grouch” she replied and swatted him as she walked past.
                                           -----------------------------------------
When they arrived at the airport counter, he still wouldn’t let her hear where they were going.  It wasn’t until they arrived at the gate she saw the destination.  She smiled and reached up and gave him a kiss.  

He rented a car and drove to the Biltmore.  Erica loved the Biltmore and it was central to everything she craved, shopping, and museums and on and on.   She could spend many days not even leaving the hotel if she chose.  There were so many amenities available to them.  When she got to the room the first thing she did was book an appointment for a couples massage for that very afternoon.  Scott said it would be nice if she had asked him before she just jumped in.

“Why, you planned this trip so we could have time together, didn’t you?  Or did you plan to abandon me again and head off to the golf course?”

“No, Erica, I didn’t even bring my golf clubs as you well know.  Are you snarky already, because if so I can fix that?”

“Scott, I just want you to relax too and spend some time with you.  Don’t you want to spend time with me anymore?”

“Honey, you know I do.  We don’t spend any less time together than we used to.  When we lived at the house I was gone most of the day at the office or somewhere on business.  The difference is you had something to fill up your days so you didn’t have to rely on me for company.  I know it’s hard on you but once we are settled in our new home we will have lots of time together.  So much so you will probably want to get rid of me”.

“I will never want to get rid of you, well maybe a couple of hours here and there, but that’s it.  So you’re okay with the couples massage this afternoon”

“I’m fine with it, my point was you didn’t ask, you just assumed and you know I don’t like it when you do that”

“I’ll make it up to you” she said as she literally ran into his arms.  She began nibbling his neck and whispering into his ear what she planned on doing to him.  He carried her over to the bed and lay down next to her.  She sat up on her knees, undid his belt, removed his jeans and when she removed his whitey tighties and he sprang loose.  She scrunched down on the bed and her mouth covered his manhood.  Her hands began massaging the “twins” as her tongue worked her magic.  Pre-cum beaded at the head and she licked him off and began sucking hard. He was groaning as she continued her ministrations.  He tried to get up and she pushed him back down.

“No you don’t big boy.  I have you just where I want you”. 

Once again, she began, touching, licking and sucking.  When she noticed him tensing and his moaning grew louder, she took him all the way back in her throat and brought him to completion.  He laid back and put his arms behind his head and told her that was the best blow job she had delivered in some time. 

“That’s your reward for me being so bitchy lately.  I’m sorry I know I’m doing it but I just can’t seem to stop myself once I get started”.

He responded that luckily he knew how to stop that cycle.  She laughed and said he sure did. “My bum has been sore a lot lately. But buddy boy, now it’s my turn”.

He sat up, removing her clothing piece by piece and replacing each uncovered area with kisses.  He worked his way down to her honeypot and she was so ready for him.  He began returning the favor and soon brought her to fruition.  By then he was ready to go again and he entered her already quivering passage and soon they were both writhing in pleasure. 

They both fell asleep and were awakened to the ringing of the house phone.  It was the Massage Center calling to remind them they were due there in ten minutes. 
                                                         -----------------------------------------------
The next day Erica asked if Scott wanted to join her at Pedregal.  It was her favorite shopping center and she couldn’t wait to visit some of the shops and see what she couldn’t live without.  Scott told her to go ahead but to remember her purchases had to fit within the confines of their motor home.  She told him she would do her best.  He laughed and said she better.  He asked her if she wanted to meet for lunch and she said how about back here for cocktails later in the day.

“You’re tired of spending time alone with me already” he grinned.

“Not the case at all.  I know how much you hate shopping and you take all the joy out of it for me.”

“I also tend to keep a lid on the amount of money you spend”.

“That too” she responded giggling.

It was a beautiful day and she enjoyed herself.  She loved going in and out of the shops at her leisure.  She stopped for lunch at one of the many outdoor venues there and enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine with lunch.  When she was finished she called a taxi to take her back to the hotel. Scott wasn’t there when she arrived which fit right into her plans.  Her plan included taking a long hot soak in the Jacuzzi tub and dressing in her new purchases awaiting his return.

She dressed in the corset, thigh high black hosiery, and black stiletto ankle strapped heels.  She arranged her hair and put on the long dangly silver earring she had purchased along with the other items. She applied light makeup, his favorite fragrance and sat back on the lounge anxiously waiting for Scott. 

When she heard the card in the lock she put on what she thought was her most sultry look.  She couldn’t wait to see the surprised look on Scott’s face.  The surprised look was also on her face because just ahead of Scott was their son, and their two grandkids. 

“Oh my God”, she yelled out just as Jamie was yelling “Grammy, Grammy, are you dressed for Halloween?”  She was so embarrassed – she couldn’t move.  Their son realized what was happening and ushered the children out onto the balcony.  Scott went into the bedroom and brought her a dressing gown. 

She tried recovering her composure and went out to the balcony to greet everyone.  The kids came up and hugged her and she managed to squeak out

“What are you doing here?” she tried asking casually.

Dad called and invited us out for a couple of days.  He seemed to think you needed some diversions.  As he said that he had a grin on his face and Erica could feel the color creeping up her neck and face.

“Where’s your darling other half?” Erica asked.    
                 .
“She couldn’t make it but told us to go ahead.  We’re only here ‘til tomorrow night because I have to get back.”

“Jack, why don’t you take the kids down to the pool and Dad and I will join you shortly”

“Good idea, Mom.   See you then”.

When the kids left, Scott hugged Erica and said he was sorry.  He thought it would be a great surprise.  She told him it was.  Scott said he tried to get June to come too but she was out of the country.

“Thank God Scott; I don’t think I could take anymore surprises today”.

“You look pretty sexy for a grandma” he told her. “Save that thought and outfit for later” he told her with a wink.

“While I was waiting at the airport, I picked up a little something too” and in his hand he held a beautifully tooled leather belt.  She got one of those shivers and it was 85 degrees outside.
