After preparing lunch so early, Serena decided to take a long bath to wash away the smell of smoke on her hair and body. She also needed to be really clean for her plans that day.

She looked through the clothes she brought over which she made herself. Well, if you can call them that. Truth was, they all looked like lingerie and barely-there clothes. Who can blame her? Her imagination went so wild just thinking that they have a place of their own now.

After careful examination, she chose the spaghetti strap tank top that was fitted and barely reached midriff. She did not even wear a bra. Then, she wore skimpy fitted shorts made of cotton spandex, short enough to show some of her butt cheeks. Well, it looked like sleeping clothes or normal day outfit of some slutty girl in modern times. Depending on how you really see it, but she liked it very much. Oh well, she's just showing it to Charlton so hehehe…

After all her preparations, she went to the parlor to wait for Charlton like a young housewife waiting for her husband to return home. She was giddy with excitement really. Anyway, it was already noon, and he has not returned yet. She knew that he was still working so she just waited patiently.

Hearing the sounds of a horse drawn carriage coming from outside, she went by the window to peek through the curtains again to see if it was Charlton's. Seeing the familiar black carriage in front of the house, Serena grinned.

--

Charlton smiled when he saw that they have arrived. He did not wait for Jack to open the door. He directly went out of the carriage and strode forward. Then as if recalling something, he made a pause and walked back to the carriage. For a second, he almost forgot to tell Jack to come back only after dinner. After he did, he again faced the house only to see that Serena has already opened the door and was peeking behind it. In an instant he felt his grin about to split his face. Seeing her wait for him, he felt his heart full of so much love and happiness.

Looking at him through the window, Serena can see that he was excited as she was. He was carrying some documents and she smiled thinking that he needs a briefcase. She should give that as a gift later. Anyway, she quickly went to the front door to welcome him. As she was dressed the way she was, she opened the door only peeking outside with her head. She saw him talking to Jack and when he turned around, their eyes met. His happiness was so evident, and she felt her heart swell. Gods, she loves him so much.

He briskly walked forward, and Serena let him in.

Closing the door with his foot, Charlton immediately pulled Serena to him with his free hand. He first kissed the top of her head, inhaling the alluring fragrance of her hair, then kissed her lips. "I missed you."

Serena giggled as she wrapped her arms around him. "I missed you too." Then she kissed his lips again briefly.

"Have you been waiting for long?"

"Not that long." Serena replied with a smile looking up to face him. "Ah, are you hungry?"

"A little." Charlton replied honestly.

"I prepared lunch, but sadly though, I think it has already gone cold. You will have to wait as I reheat it." She said as she let go of him and took a step back.

Charlton was about to reply when he finally saw her whole visage. His mouth parted and his eyes widened. Her clothes were nothing like he has ever seen before. It was so, meager? but since it was just the two of them, he liked it very much. He can see the outline of her protruding nipples through her top.

Serena wanted to tease him seeing his expression, so she turned around to walk away from him, sashaying her ass while she was at it. She counted 3-2-1, and like she anticipated, she felt him grab her arm.

She turned back to face him with a coy smile, she can clearly see the passion in his eyes, but she has a plan. So, she instructed, "Lock the door first, I am yet to set the plates on the dining table. Now, whatever you do, don't enter the dining room until I call you, okay?"

Charlton understood that she was up to something, and he swallowed in anticipation. "Okay." He replied. He has no idea how he managed to control himself when he saw her behind as she walked away from him.

Anyway, he moved to lock the door, placed the documents he was holding on a random table, then removed his coat followed by his shoes. After all that, he waited for her call.

--

Serena quickly went inside the kitchen and closed the door without locking it. She has been looking forward to this all morning. She took out 2 jars from the insulated cabinet called the icebox. One contained chocolate syrup, and the other, strawberry syrup. She placed them on the dining table. Thankfully, she asked to replace the awful 4-seater table for a bigger and sturdier one. Then, she went to get the bowl of strawberries and placed it on the table too. Finally, she took out the home-made whip cream she created herself. Gods, she never did anything this stupid nor crazy before.

Anyway, she removed her top and applied whip cream on her areolas. She shivered with the coldness but oh well. In continuation of her foolishness, she smeared some strawberry and chocolate syrup on her body. Not too much because she doesn't want to be too messy. She wanted to add the strawberry on top of the whip cream, but she knew gravity would only make them fall.

When she was done with all those, she climbed the table. She took her position at the middle. Satisfied with her own creativity, she struck a pose before she called Charlton over.

"Charlton, you can come in now."

--

When Charlton came in the dining room, his mouth could only gape in shock. Serena was completely naked, save for the white whipped cream covering her areolas, had her body smeared by what he thinks were sweets while sitting on top of the table with her legs wide open.

Then she said, "Bon Appetit."

Now, who said that the main course should come before dessert?
