Twenty Four
Ode to Green and Black
He looks like he is in shock, sitting there on the sofa. His eyes are fixated on the football game displayed on the 60" screen, but she doubts he's even aware of who is playing. It has been a hell of a work week for him, and he is just above catatonic as he tries to unwind.
They had planned on a night out, a great steak followed by some quality time at their favorite local club. When he walked in the door, however, she knew that wasn't going to happen. To tell the truth, she had been through the wringer that week as well, and really wouldn't have felt like going out either.
She had fixed them a simple, quick, but satisfying dinner. He wolfed it down, thanked her, then made his way to the living room and collapsed on the sofa. She poured herself a tall glass of her favorite blackberry concoction, downed it way too fast, and then refilled the glass. Then, she fixed him a drink and put it on the side table next to him.
Not willing to surrender to a night lying around trying to recover, she tells him she's going to take a shower. He looks at her and manages a smile, then goes back to never-never land.
In the bathroom, she strips off her work clothes, and pins up her hair. She doesn't want to take the time to wash and dry it tonight. A long, hot, luxurious shower relaxes her to the point of almost nodding off. Shaking out of it, she cleanses herself, then uses a new razor to clean any remnants of stubble off her legs and underarms. Then, she trims up her thin pubic landing strip, making sure the sensitive areas around it are baby butt smooth for him.
Opening two of her lingerie drawers, she looks through the extensive selection of beautiful outfits before choosing her attire for the evening. Pulling the ones she wants out of their drawer, she pulls open another drawer and adds a new pair of back seamed thigh highs to her haul. Then, a pair of shoes from her 'special' rack joins the other pieces.
She takes her time putting the frilly things on, enjoying the soft fabrics as they slide across her skin. The feel of the stockings as she slowly rolls them up the length of her legs is especially satisfying. Checking herself in the mirror to make sure everything is in its proper place, she playfully rubs her thighs together, relishing the soft swishing noise the nylon makes as it slides back and forth.
Softly, she walks back into the living room. The rather high heels make this a little difficult. As she suspected, he was still there, though his eyes were closed. She suspects he is asleep, not just playing possum. Moving over to stand right in front of him, she looks down and makes sure everything is straight and hooked correctly. When satisfied, she gently nudges his knee with her own.
