She was cold. Barely awake and aware of her surroundings, she realized she had no blankets over her and her satin nightgown was twisted around her waist. She had been sleeping fitfully all night, tossing and turning. This was the third time she awoke in the last couple of hours and she had only gone to bed three hours ago.
When she started to toss and turn, he moved to the guest bedroom, both so she could turn on the light to read and he could sleepβhe knew when she got like this, she needed to read to help take her mind off of work.
Work had been making her crazyβa new operations manager, two new scheduling clerks, and new computer system had all added up to make her life miserable the last two weeks. She was working long hours and couldn't get her mind off of the office when she got home in the evenings. Tonight was no exception, and now she found herself awake again.
She climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom. She was freezing and her neck and shoulders ached from the tension she had been feeling lately. She decided to take a hot bath. She filled the bathtub, lit a couple of candles and lowered her body into the soothing water. The warmth engulfed her and she immediately felt better now that she wasn't cold.
She let the hot water soak her aching muscles, but her mind continued to return to work. She couldn't stop stewing about all the problems they were facing and how it seemed like no one knew what they were doing.
She also worried that she had kicked him out bed. He had been good about her long hours, often having dinner ready or a movie rental to watch when she arrived home. But lately he ended up sleeping in the guest room because she couldn't fall asleep and read late into the night. And then once she finally turned off the lights, she was all over the bed, tossing from side to side.
They had also neglected sexβthey hadn't made love in several weeks. She was so tired and distracted at bedtime that she had ignored her own needs and desires. But now as her flesh was warmed by the hot water and she lathered herself with soap, she realized her body missed his touch and his passion and the pleasure he could bring her. She rubbed the bar of soap around her breasts and down her stomach to her pussy. She slid the bar through her hairless mound and began to arouse herself with the soapy lubrication. But she realized she wanted more...
She rinsed off and drained the tub and wrapped a towel around her wet body. She blew out the candles, towel dried her hair, put on perfume, and went to the guest room.
The entire house was dark, but the street light outside their house cast a glow through the window across the guest bed and she could make out the outline of his body under the covers. She could hear his breathing and see his dark hair on the pillow, his body turned away from the door on its side.
She dropped her towel and slid her damp body under the covers and spooned against his back, slipping her arm around his chest. His body jumped with a start, not realizing what was going on. She quickly whispered in his ear, "Sssh, it's okay, it's me," and she pulled him close to her so that her breasts pressed against his back and his ass filled the curve at her waist and hips and pressed against her pussy.
"You okay? You're all wet," he whispered back.
"Yeah, I took a bath. I can't sleep," she replied.
