take her there and then maybe those paintings could adorn their walls, too.
    She had used the excuse about loading the car to get out of the way and have some time with Jim before dinner. She had a little surprise planned for him. Piling all the boxes on the floor by the door to create a temporary wall, she stripped herself of her gowns, clothes, and cap. Butterflies set about tripping the light fantastic in her tummy as she readied herself for Jim’s imminent arrival.

    Jim stood chatting to his friends, but idly wondering what Flick was doing. She’s scheming. I wonder what she’s up to. Curiosity eventually got the better of him, and he made his excuses to leave. He walked across campus to Flick’s room. On arrival, he knocked on the door. “Hey sweetheart, it’s me. Can I come in?”
    “You certainly can,” she purred from inside.
    Jim nibbled on his lip, as he walked in, wondering what was about to happen. He was greeted by the wall of boxes. Flick was hidden behind them. Closing the door he peeped around the barrier and inhaled sharply at what he saw. She lay reclined on her bed, not a stitch of clothing on her delectable curves apart from her mortarboard and Oxford scarf tied loosely around her neck and draped between her breasts, the tassels just covering her special place. Jim couldn’t help but grin as he slowly prowled over to her, dropping to his knees before her and diving straight in to kiss her underneath the tassels. She gasped as pleasure surged through her body. After gifting her with a delicious orgasm he discarded his clothes and climbed onto the bed, little foil packet in his hands at the ready. She snatched it from him and threw it across the room.
    “Hey!” He pouted at the prospect of not having his way with her.
    She grinned. “No need for those anymore.” Her eyebrows wiggled suggestively. “I’ve been on the pill for a while now and we’re safe to go commando.”
    A low moan erupted from him and he rolled his eyes back before climbing between her thighs, removing her mortarboard and sinking himself inside her. “Seriously, I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.” He gasped as he moved.
     
    Jim made love to her, slowly and languorously, enjoying the new sensations they were experiencing together, devouring each other with their mouths and exploring each other’s bodies with their hands. It was an intense and powerful experience. When they had both had their fill and were completely sated, gazing lovingly at each other as their breathing calmed, Jim decided it was time to put his own surprise into action.
    He leapt from the bed. “Sit up and close your eyes,” he commanded. She giggled at his bossiness.
    “Why?” She was clearly in a playful, stubborn mood.
    “Just do it!” he demanded as he fumbled around in his jacket pocket.
    Reluctantly, she perched herself on the end of the bed. The scarf was still in place around her neck.
    “Keep them closed!” he demanded again. She was sniggering uncontrollably. “You cannae open your eyes ‘til you’ve calmed down,” he chastised, but he too was trying not to laugh.  Pursing her lips, she finally managed to quell the giggles and sat eyes closed, back straight. “Okay, you can open them now.”
    She opened one eye and then both eyes wide. “What the—” she gasped.
    Jim kneeled in front of her, naked, holding out a diamond ring in his shaking hand. “Now, I know this is a bit unorthodox…and I’m a tad naked…but I wanted to remember this moment for the rest of my life.” He gulped and swallowed hard, but the huge grin on her face encouraged him to continue. “I only intend on doing this once and…so it had to be special.”
    He cleared his throat before continuing. “Felicity, I’ve loved you since the moment I first set eyes on you. And I’m sorry for doing this whilst you’re naked too…although let me just say that you are the most stunningly gorgeous woman on the face of the Earth right
