Alex was watching football. Good football. Champions League, Liverpool vs Barcelona. There was 10 minutes to go and the match was tight, 1-1. Could Liverpool hold out for a draw?
He had missed out on TV football the previous week because Sarah had been ill, a bout of flu. So while she had spent a few days in bed feeling rubbish Alex had been busy looking after her and doing all the chores. Now, thankfully, Sarah was feeling better and Alex could put his feet up a bit.
Sarah came into the lounge. "How is the match going?" she asked. "Are you winning?"
Alex looked up at his wife and realised that she was already wearing her short dressing gown. She looked lovely, even radiant now that she had recovered from her illness.
"Ten minutes to go and it's tight," Alex replied.
Sarah came and knelt down by her husband's chair and gave him a little kiss. "Well," she said, "once the match has finished I was wondering if you wanted to come up to our bedroom. I bought something new to wear yesterday and I want to know what my lover thinks of it," she said suggestively.
"Okay," Alex said, "but I thought that this was a bad week for you...wrong time of the month and all that?"
"Yes, that's true," Sarah said, now getting up from the floor, "so not everything is on the agenda but um....I might still be able to make you feel nice, mightn't I?"
Alex rather lost interest in the football after that but the match did finish in a draw. He switched off the TV, went to use the downstairs bathroom and then made his way upstairs to the bedroom.
Sarah had turned down the lighting and was reading her Kindle by the light of the single bedside light, still wearing her dressing gown. When Alex got into the room she stopped reading, got off the bed and walked towards him. After giving him a kiss she stepped back away from him a few feet and removed her gown.
"What do you think of this?" Sarah asked.
Alex's first thought was simply...Wow. Sarah was wearing a pink teddy made of quite a loose material, probably cotton. There were thin shoulder straps leading down to quite a modest square-cut bodice with pearl buttons down the front. The bottom of the teddy was rather like a pair of sleep shorts. The overall effect was stunning and Sarah's slim frame and curves definitely showed it to best advantage.
"I love it," Alex said. "And, to be completely accurate, I love it on you."
"That's all good then," Sarah said, now advancing back towards her husband. She hugged him gently.
"I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work playing nurse for me last week. You were amazing. Thank you."
"Don't be silly," Alex said, "you would have done the same for me."
Sarah smiled, ignoring him, and set about undoing the buttons on Alex's shirt, eventually pulling it off him. Then she knelt on the floor and removed his socks, which she threw over to the other side of the bedroom. Her next move was to reach out to the front of Alex's trousers, an area she gently massaged, obviously feeling for the shape of him underneath the clothes.
It didn't take very long for Alex to get aroused and it didn't take very long after that for Sarah to feel the part of him that she was seeking. She smiled then slowly undid first Alex's belt and then his fly zip. Alex had to lift his bottom to let her remove his trousers, which, once liberated, she put on the bedroom chair behind her.
Alex was now wearing just a pair of black briefs. Sarah kept her focus entirely on Alex's face for the next minute or so as her hands were active, first rubbing the front of his underwear, then pulling the item of clothing down and then removing it completely.
Alex thought he was in heaven. He was now completely naked with his wife kneeling down in front of him. It looked as though Sarah was intending to stay down on the floor so Alex reached behind him to grab a pillow from the top of the bed. He passed it to Sarah.
"Thank you darling," she said as she put the pillow under her knees. "I do think I may be a while. Oh, and I nearly forgot," she added as she reached behind her to pick up a hairband from the chest of drawers to the side of her. She used the band to pull her hair up away from her shoulders.
To Alex's delight Sarah now turned her attention towards his erect penis. She used one hand to gently stroke it and used the other to caress his scrotum and behind. Then her head moved forwards towards his tip. First she used just her tongue to travel down the length of him on each side, then she did the same underneath. Then she used one hand on his penis to pull back his foreskin. She looked at her husband, taunting him for a few seconds, before she proceeded to kiss and then lick the very end of his erection.
"So unless you've been looking after yourself I reckon it is now about 9 or 10 days since you last had any attention like this," Sarah said. "It is definitely time to rectify that."
"Thank you Darling, that's so nice. I have -- my body has -- been missing you."
Sarah went back to kissing and licking Alex's penis, occasionally looking up at him while she did so.
"Tell me," Alex asked, "Do those buttons on your outfit actually undo or are they just for show?"
"Ah, yes, good question," Sarah said. "There are eight buttons and they do all undo. It's the only way I can get the thing on and off."
Alex reached out with his hands to undo the top button. But just as his fingers got there Sarah raised her own hands to stop him.
"Oy, cheeky," Sarah said. "That's a bit naughty. That's my naked body under there you know. It's private."
Alex must have looked disappointed because Sarah then spoke again.
"Hey, don't look so sad. Perhaps between us we can find some way of undoing those buttons. Maybe we can think of ways in which you've been nice to me? Come here," Sarah beckoned Alex's face towards her and they kissed. In fact they kissed for quite a while, gently and romantically.
"So," Sarah said once they had parted, "that was lovely. You kiss me so nicely and you are very generous all the time with your little kisses and hugs. So...um, for example, I reckon that's a reason to let you undo the first button. If you want to, of course."
Alex did want to and needed no further prompting. He reached out and undid the top button to Sarah's teddy.
