The Warming

A beautiful experiment for two people in love. One person warms up the bed for a night sleep while the other showers in preparation for bed. As “the warmer”, you dig yourself deep under the sheets moving about creating heat and using your body to spread the bed with warmth. You heat your own body, bring yourself to a subtle state of arousal and spread the bed with your familiar scent. Your partner washes off in the shower, not knowing what is coming. As they finish and dry off you welcome them immediately into the sheets, their body still cold and adjusting from the warmth of the shower to the chill of the room. You bring them into your heated blankets. You say “I prepared the bed for you, come get warm with me.” You then warm them with a close embrace, warm body against cold skin. You share the bed with them, but more importantly you share the fact that you were thinking of them. This experiment is a great expression of care for a loved one and prepares you both for a better night of sleep than you have had in weeks.
