It’s Jamie and Rory’s anniversary and Rory had big plans. He ends up working late though and needs to adjust things to fit the night. Jamie’s waiting at home with a hot supper and no wish to go out. Rory resorts to trickery to get Jamie where he wants to go and sets his plan in motion. Will this be the next best day of Rory’s life or will Jamie break his heart?

Sample

Rory arrived home hot, ugly, and late. Mandatory overtime was, well, mandatory, and it didn’t bother Dane at all that Rory had plans. Big plans. Plans that involved dinner reservations that he had made three months in advance. Plans that involved asking Jamie a very important question.

“Hey babe, I’m home,” Rory called.

Jamie’s sweet voice floated down the hallway, “In here love.”

Rory followed the sound to the bathroom. Lighted candles had been placed all around the room. A bath was running for him. Best of all, Jamie was there, wearing nothing but a towel and a smile. The steam in the room attested to the fact that his angel had just taken his own shower.

Rory groaned and moved toward his lover. “I’m sorry I’m late,” he whispered as he leaned in for a kiss.

Jamie wrapped his arms around Rory’s back and returned the kiss. “It’s okay. I knew that there was a possibility that you wouldn’t make it home earlier. This job has really been a tough one, huh?”

Rory murmured an agreement, seeking Jamie’s lips again. For several minutes he let himself get lost in the kiss, shedding the day’s frustrations.

Jamie gently pushed Rory away. “New plans for the night. You’ll take a nice long, hot bath. I’ll make dinner. Just frozen raviolis and sauce, but there will be homemade garlic bread. Then a movie that we both have watched a dozen times and making out on the couch.”

“Sounds like heaven,” Rory agreed, mentally rearranging his own plans. “Happy anniversary Jamie.”

“Happy anniversary to you too, love,” Jamie said. “Now into the bath with you.”

With Jamie’s help, it took a little longer to get undressed than it would have if Rory had just done it himself, but he wouldn’t trade the gentle kisses and roaming hands for anything. Jamie was always a tactile lover, and today he seemed even more focused on touching every inch of Rory’s skin.
