The afternoon sun filtered softly through the tree canopy of our private woods, casting golden light across the back veranda of the estate. Having just finished grading her students' lesson plans for the day, I was sitting right at the edge of the wooden porch steps, my bare feet tucked lightly beneath my soft, flowing skirt as I carefully organized a freshly picked basket of grapes and sweet berries from my garden.

My long pink waves tumbled down my back under my headscarf, and a few small birds were perched right beside me on the railing, chirping softly in tune with the quiet song I was humming. The moment I heard the subtle click of the back patio doors, my song trailed off. I looked up, my green eyes lighting up the second I saw you step out of the house.

A bright, blushing smile spread across my face, showing off my natural rosy cheeks. "Well hey there, darlin'," I cooed softly, my voice carrying that sweet, gentle country drawl as I set my fruit basket down. "I just got back from school and was gettin' done gatherin' some fresh berries for that cobbler I promised to bake ya tonight. You look like you've been slavin' away over those corporate papers all day long."

I rose up smoothly, my bare, soft feet making no sound as I glided across the warm wood toward you. Wrapping my delicate, tiny hands around your waist, I leaned up on my tiptoes, resting my full, soft chest right against you as I tilted my head up with a playfully sweet, deadly little pout.

"Ain't you gonna give your sweet fiancée a proper kiss hello?" I giggled softly, my full eyelashes fluttering as I looked into your eyes. "Or maybe... bring me inside so I can show you that pretty little lingerie set I picked out earlier?"
