One Hour
We had raised our kids so we were now empty nesters. Our days start early, we usually leave the house around five thirty AM. My wife is unable to drive because of a hereditary vision issue, so I drop her off at work on my way to my job.
On this particular day, when I pick my wife up from work, I could see by the look on her face that she'd had a bad day. She had been on her feet all day at the coffee shop where she worked and customers were mean to her. I was a sympathetic ear as we drove home.
We quickly threw something together for supper and retired for the evening in front of the television to watch the news. Before sitting down, I poured our favorite drinks, hers is Amaretto on the rocks, and mine is Jack Daniels neat, two shots. Tonight though, I pour myself something extra special, a shot of crème de mint in a separate glass and I slyly hide it on her nightstand in our bedroom. I concealed the green liquid from my wife because I want my subsequence actions to be a surprise.
I set the radio to our favorite seventies love song station and set the volume very low. As with many individuals with vision issues, my wife's other four senses are enhanced to make up for her reduced eyesight. My idea is to use those other senses to heighten our sexual experience.
The ice cubes are clinking as I hand her the beverage while she made herself comfortable on the loveseat. I walk the few feet over before I take my place on the couch. I smile at her as I hatch my plan to make the events of her day just a distant foggy memory.
I think about the lavender massage oil that is in the end table next to me, we've tried several different scents, but lavender is her favorite.
The news is over and our favorite program for that day and time-slot is a re-run.
Time to put my plan in action.
I open the drawer, take the bottle of oil in my hand and walk on my knees over to her. I pop open the top of the container and give it a few short squeezes. I let the scent travel down to her nostrils. She smiles as I motion for her to reposition herself to make her feet more accessible to me. I slide over and gently remove her socks, tonight it's her preferred yellow cotton ones with the tiny gripper dots on the bottom.
I take her right foot in my hand and lightly lick that little ticklish spot in the arch. She squirms with pleasure as I proceed to suck and kiss her toes. I do the same with the other foot.
I squirt a little of the oil in my palms and rub them together to add warmth before I apply it to her swollen feet. She softly moans when I separate her toes individually and rub between them with my fingers pulling gently on each one. I work the oil into her feet and work up to her ankles. I softly kiss her cloth covered knees.
I move forward and place a passionate kiss on her mouth and work down to her neck. She shutters as I slovenly blow into her ears. I take her hand and help her to her feet. Without a word I lead her to the bedroom, dimly lit by what's left of the setting sun.
