*A vanilla (with sprinkles) story. Trying out the third person point of view. Thanks for giving it a read.*
Bruce met Alyssa his freshman year of college at a small school in eastern Colorado. They were an instant success as a couple. They were in similar programs, so always crossed paths between classes, had lunch together nearly every day, spent the weekends at football or basketball games, shared interests of being outdoors, hiking, biking, and spending time together.
College careers flew by and after a yearlong planning session during their senior year, they were married the summer after graduation and started the rest of their lives together. After a long ceremony and even longer reception, they flew to Mexico for their honeymoon where they enjoyed each other's virginity and practiced having sex several more times, getting better and closer to each other every time. They enjoyed each other's company and had a very routine but satisfying love life those early years.
Fast forward to three daughters being born, careers being nurtured, and always running around keeping up with their fast-paced lifestyle and raising girls to be great young women. It was around their 28th anniversary where they both looked at each other, empty nesters, staring down retirement in the next few years, and they hardly knew each other.
Alyssa was successful as a dental hygienist, always humming 80's tunes and working on people's teeth. She was good looking with auburn hair that fell to just under her ample breasts. She could go about the house topless, dressed only in her hair and yoga pants, and still be mostly decent enough to answer the door to the Amazon delivery man.
A stellar cook, she loved spending time in the kitchen getting to Bruce's heart through his stomach. She wasn't the same cheerleader figure that Bruce took to bed on their honeymoon night, but she thought of herself as a much more realistic body type that was soft and warm in all the right places. The weight she added through pregnancies and, truth be told, good eating, was all in her breasts and ass, both of which Bruce never kept his hands from.
Bruce made a great paycheck in a pharmaceutical office. He started as a mixing tech, but moved up to a desk job, where he was a fair and fun supervisor, always quick with a football game score from the night before or a good laugh from a funny story. Bruce's athletic build was mostly gone from his figure, but he never let himself go. He still frequented the local city gym and took care of himself as best he thought he could.
It was damn hard with Alyssa's cooking; she was always laying something awesome in front of him which he usually gave a thumbs up and swatted her on the ass, just to keep a bit of playfulness in their relationship. That meal then entered the rotation of great things that were always coming out of Alyssa's kitchen. They chatted with their kids, spread all over the country doing all things who knows what. They were active in the community and worked every day without hardly a sick day. They never fell out of love, just lost track of each other, and forgot how to spend time together.
Alyssa and Bruce knew each other in a sexual way and had plenty of practice with each other sexually. They knew no other person in that way. They had become great at making love, always had fun when they were together, but had lives that were so focused around kids and jobs, that they didn't know what to do anymore just the two of them. They fell into a rut where they spent time in the same room, at the same table or side by side in their recliner chairs, but it got old talking about work, or the kids, or what the weekend held since it was likely the same as last weekend.
Life shared close, in love, but not physical. At least for a significant period of time. It was suggested on occasion that they should make love, but then one partner was tired, or needed a shower, or whatever else got in the way. Alyssa and Bruce were living like roommates.
One cold winter night, Bruce was watching football sitting on the couch drinking a coke. He was struggling to stay awake during the boring game but didn't want to admit to Alyssa that he was ready to turn off the game and head to bed at this early hour. As tired as he was, Bruce was determined to finish this football game.
Alyssa was finishing up with cleanup in the kitchen and moved to folding laundry in the bedroom. Finally, there was a little excitement in the game with only a field goal dividing the scores of the two teams. The game was now worth watching and the caffeine had kicked in a bit so that Bruce was getting a second wind on the evening. Feeling a bit frisky, Alyssa called from the bedroom,
"I'm done with the laundry! Want to put yours away so the bed is clear?"
Bruce replied with a grunt and the next commercial break he went to the bedroom and stacked his pants into the closet and put his socks in the drawer. Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck in a tender gesture to try and move the evening to a love making session. She looked at him with puppy dog eyes and said,
"Thanks for clearing off the bed! Want to join me?"
Bruce was thinking about the game on TV, knowing the commercial break was almost over, and not thinking anything about the meaning of her offer. He replied,
"Not tired yet Babe! I'm gonna finish this game. Crawl under the covers and get started without me."
He swatted her hip in his normal display of physical touch. She looked into his eyes and whispered,
"Okay."
Bruce returned to the couch and watched the rest of the best game of the season unfold as the teams traded scores back and forth and finished with a nail-biting onside kick and field goal to finish the game! Knowing Alyssa was in the next room trying to sleep, Bruce contained his joy as the underdog team pulled out the stops and won in a great effort! He was so glad he had stayed up to watch the end of the game. Crunching his Coke can and doing a little victory dance in the living room, Bruce heard a soft voice from the bedroom ask,
"Is the game done?"
"Yeah! Great game!" he replied quietly. "Why are you still up? I hope I didn't wake you up with my stupid dance moves."
"No, I haven't been sleeping. You asked me to get started without you, so I have been getting ready back here by myself. Are you ready to join in?"
"What do you mean?" Bruce noticed the softer than normal light coming from the open bedroom door. He rounded the corner into the master bedroom and froze in his tracks. His jaw hit the floor at the sight in front of him. All his thoughts of the game flew out of his conscious thought.
Beautiful Alyssa was propped up in bed, bathed in warm candlelight, wearing a red satin nightie that was bunched up around her hips. Her creamy colored thighs pulled up towards her chest, her fingers were busy between her legs circling pink painted fingernails between the lips of her slit. Her hair was parted in the middle with two pigtails formed at each ear, her hair pulled back behind her shoulders to expose her breasts covered in the red satin.
The faintest hint of perspiration glistened around her forehead, her exposed neckline and cleavage, and off the skin of her thighs. The candlelight in the room played a warm color to her skin and made the tight satin over her tummy and breasts shine and reflect the warm yellow light. Her ample breasts held the red satin fabric taut, and her nipples looked to be hard as diamonds resting on the rise of her chest. There was a rhythmic bounce in her cleavage as her hand moved circles between her thighs.
As Bruce silently watched, Alyssa's left hand moved to her breast, and she pinched her prominent nipple as her face transformed into a look of bliss. She shifted the position of her wrist and Bruce saw her fourth finger was inside herself all the way up to her diamond studded wedding ring. Making eye contact with him, she slowly extracted her finger and took her hand away from her slit. Bruce felt his eyes widen at the sight of the moisture that clung to her fingers and folds. In a barely audible and breathless whisper she said,
"I am standing on the edge of a cliff, and I want you to come and push me off the edge. Please? Give me my final nudge and I think I can fly!" A spasmic quiver ran through the flesh of her thighs. Bruce started removing clothing in a quick, haphazard manner and was balancing on one foot trying to pull off his damn sock.
He said, "Show me more of what you have been doing!"
"There is a shot of mouthwash on the vanity. Swish with that but forget your shower and shave. I need you as soon as you can get here." Alyssa nearly begged. Her finger slid to her pink slit and she gasped at her own touch. Bruce dashed into the bathroom, swished his mouth like Alyssa said, ever the obedient caretaker of his oral health, and finally shed the last sock that pestered his nakedness.
He quickly returned to the side of the bed and took in more of his wife's beauty and sexiness. He placed his knees on the bed and sidled into place between Alyssa's feet. She grabbed his shoulders and they met in a minty kiss with their tongues playing as their kiss grew in passion.
"Oh my God, you are so amazing!" said Bruce pausing to catch his breath. "I haven't seen you like this in a while. What can I do for you?"
