Room Service for Two
A tray at the foot of the bed and a menu you write yourselves.
Breakfast in bed is good. Dinner in bed in a hotel-crisp room is better. Tonight the bench at the foot of the bed becomes the table, for two or for a few close friends.
The evening
Smoldering: Flirtier, a little closer.
Each person writes one wish for the evening on the back of the menu: a kiss, a massage, a dance. Take turns drawing them. Any wish can be passed.
Talk about what's on and off the table before anything starts, and agree on a pause word everyone knows. Anyone can step out at any point, with no explanation needed. Check in with each person, not only the group.
The setting
Bedside lamps on warm bulbs, the overhead off, and one candle on the tray.
Lounge piano or bossa nova, quiet enough that nobody has to raise their voice.
Clean and quiet, like a room that was turned down for you.
Cool, tight sheets, a heavy throw at the foot, and something soft to put on.
Positions it suits
From the position guide: frank, practical and comfort-aware, with the furniture that makes each one easier.
One seated at the edge, the other close and supported. Upright and connected.
One partner seated, the other straddling their lap, facing. Upright and intimate.
Both on your sides, one behind the other. Lazy in the best way.
A free-standing, more upright cousin of standing from behind: no wall, just a gentle forward lean with hands on the knees.
