Under the Velvet
Cold outside, heavy velvet on the bed, and the whole night for two.
A winter night is made for this room: the drapes closed against the cold, a fur throw at the foot, and nowhere to go until morning. Tonight is for the two of you, slow and warm.
The evening
After Midnight: Bolder. Suggestive, never explicit.

Pick a pause word you'd never say by accident. Either of you can use it, or simply say stop, at any point and for any reason. Check in along the way, and treat a not yet as a perfectly good answer.
The setting
Ivory candles in brass, a few tiny warm lights in the greenery, everything else off.
Old jazz standards, a choir far away, or just a fire track. Low.
Fresh greenery and a little spice, never a sugar-cookie candle.
Heavy green velvet, a fur throw, and flannel or silk against skin.
Positions it suits
From the position guide: frank, practical and comfort-aware, with the furniture that makes each one easier.
One partner on their back, the other on top facing them. The classic for a reason.
Both on your sides, one behind the other, with pillows doing the supporting.
Hips raised on a wedge or pillow for a better, supported angle.
Lying on your sides, turned toward each other. Eye contact and ease.
