How to make his Valentine's Day special

Build up the anticipation.

If you aren't going to see each other all day, get him in the mood for love with a sexy text, email or voice message. Leave out the naughty details about what you want to do to him -- and don't leave the message on his work voicemail or email account; it's probably not completely private.

Get a temporary tattoo.

Get your lover's name inked on your body without the big price tag, pain or permanancy. Place the temporary tattoo in a sexy spot that he won't see until later in the evening.

Satisfy his cravings.

Make a Valentine's Day dinner for two. Include sensual foods -- such as chocolate, strawberries and even asparagus -- that have aphrodisiac qualities.

Create a sexy oasis.

After a day at the office, you don't need to get dolled up and go out on the town. Create a private escape at home with an indoor picnic, bubble bath for two, massages and more. Surprise him with a new sex position or by acting out your (or his) sexual fantasies.
