She was awakened by the movement of his body next to hers as he turned towards her. She gave the inner smile of contentment as he drew close. His chest against her back, his left arm under her pillow, his right enveloping her in its embrace; close, but not tight. Then, as she had a thousand times before, she felt his hardness against her backside. A tiny glow ignited within her, and she arched her back ever so slightly against him.
"My own personal alarm cock" she thought to herself. "How lucky am I?"
She waited for what she knew would come next. His right arm would close in around her breasts, and he would pull her closer. The hard cock against her ass would pulse, and harden, and grow. The little glow inside sparked its way into a flame.
She felt his lips brush her cheek ever so gently. "So beautiful" he whispered in her ear. The soft breath fanned the little flame.
But this time, he didn't close his arm around her tighter, or press himself more tightly against her. She woke a little more fully, only to realize that he was moving away, pulling back, leaving their bed. "No" the little flame inside her screamed out. "No" she echoed, quietly, inside her head. She pulled the covers closer, and buried herself in their warmth, returning to her slumber. Inside her, the flame burned on.

He knew she was tired, and had been awake too late too many recent nights. There would be time for them to reconnect. Reluctantly, he pulled away from her sleeping body, and slid quietly out of their bed. The hardness between his legs gradually relaxed as he went through his morning routine. Crunches, push-ups, stretches. Curls, squats.
He had worked up a bit of a sweat by the time he headed to the master bath. Entering their room, he saw her sleeping, her beautiful face laying like a jewel on her pillow. His body reacted instantly to the sight of her, his cock twitching. He sighed, and pulled his towel from its peg.

In their warm bed, a gentle sound of falling water drifted down, urging her to sleep. The little fire that warmed her from within retreated. But it was not quenched. Shortly, the rainfall came to an end, and other sounds began to emerge. The fire was encouraged, and it grew.

He finished his shower and turned off the water. He stepped out, toweled off, and gave himself a leisurely shave, the cold steel of the razor gliding with familiar smoothness across his chin. He rinsed his face, enjoying the cool water on his skin after the shave. He pulled the towel around his waist, folded it in, and opened the door to their room.
She was still in bed, as he had thought she would be. He couldn't resist coming over and giving her another kiss on the cheek.

A phantom breath on her cheek, and the scent of the soap she had bought him, fanned the flame again. This time it did not waver. As he drew away, her eyes opened. Her eyes flickered open, and she saw him again, for the first and thousandth time. His back was turned, and his body was showing the effects of his workout. As he moved about, it was equally clear his body was still showing the effects of his proximity to her. Still under her covers, the flame inside her leapt, and she squeezed her legs together instinctively, to mimic the feel of his body between them.

He came home from work at the end of the day, and they had a quiet dinner. The children were away for the weekend, at a camp where future Nobel Prize winners engaged in selfless acts of community service. He did the dishes as she showered. He was just finishing making himself a cocktail when he heard the hall closet door close. Fresh from her shower, she was in a pair of small gym shorts and a spaghetti strap top. The shorts were tight around her firm rear. The top, small and tight, barley contained her big tits.
"Going to the gym?" he said with a slight grin.
"Ha ha" she said. "It's 9:00 at night. I ran this afternoon, so I've done my work-out for the day." He thought he detected a bit of an edge to her voice.
Without further word, she tore the heavy cocktail glass from his hand, and raised it to her lips. Looking at him over the rim of the glass, she said "Are you going to make yourself one?" She took a first long sip, staring at him, challenging him.
He held her gaze for minute, then smiling slightly to himself, he went to the bar, and fixed another. By the time he got back, she was halfway done with number one.
He cocked his head and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"What?" she said.
He shook his head, and she sniffed disdainfully in reply. The little flame gleamed in her eyes.
He took a sip of his drink, and she took another deep pull from hers.
"You did not do your chores this morning" she said, in a slightly sing-song voice.
"No?"
She shook her head slowly in an exaggerated no. "Start with the laundry on the bed."
