"Hello Sweetheart, how was your day?" Todd asked Renee in a pleasant, concerned voice as he held the door open for her.
"I'm glad it's over!" she drew a deep breath and exhaled thru puckered, tight lips.
"I'm glad it's over!" she said again. They exchanged a quick kiss.
Todd knew that the meeting with the attorneys and the deposition would last for hours today.
He felt sad that her boss had dragged her into the shit storm of a lawsuit. She really had nothing to do with the fraudulent paperwork or the embezzlement. She had done nothing more than notarize the papers. She didn't read them.
It wasn't her job to read the contracts. All she did was check to make sure the photo IDs were valid, witness the signatures and dates.
The prosecuting attorneys had questioned her for hours, recording every word. They teamed up on her, trying to trip her up and build a case out of nothing.
They were heavy hitters, but Renee held her own. She honestly didn't know anything about the paperwork.
Todd took her leather briefcase and carried it into the study where she always put it.
He looked back at his gorgeous wife. She looked frazzled as she stood running her fingers from her forehead then thru her long black hair. Her eyes were closed. Her breasts pulled up with every slow stroke of her fingers combing thru her hair.
Todd smiled, "Calgon, take me away!" he said jokingly.
""Ummmm, a warm bath, that sounds wonderful!" she replied, flopping down on the overstuffed sofa.
"I'll take care of you sweetie, just sit back and tell me what you need," he told her as he knelt down and pulled her high heels off her feet. She closed her eyes again and laid her head back when she felt his fingers and thumbs making love to her tired, achy feet thru the smooth, thin material of her panty hose.
The day began to melt away. His thumbs gently working the balls of her left foot as he held it in his lap. Renee loved having her feet massaged, it always sent ripples of relaxation thru her body. He patiently worked the tired muscles from her toes to each ankle.
"Dinner is ready!" he whispered, bringing her back to reality. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.
He offered his hand to help her up. She stood and pulled the hem of her dress up. He watched her roll the panty hose down her legs to her knees, she sat back down. She watched her lover roll them on down for her until he finally pulled the tightness from her feet.
They made their way to the dining room. The table was set with a setting for two. Two candles flickered in the center, empty wine glasses were filled with her favorite wine.
She sat thinking how fortunate she was to have such a wonderful friend and lover. He always knew what she needed.
They quietly savored the taste of the chilled wine and a crispy, beet green salad. She smiled, "thank you!" she said as he placed a plate of homemade lasagna in front of her. He did make good lasagna, his mother's recipe always got compliments.
When they had finished the meal, Todd kissed her cheek as he cleared the dishes from the table. Sipping the last of her wine, Renee heard the water filling the the high back tub in the master bath.
She sat reflecting on the unpleasant events of the day.
Her love stepped beside her, "Your bath is ready!" he held out his hand, she took it. With quiet, bare footed steps, he led her to the bathroom still holding her hand.
She stood beside the tub, the welcoming smell of lavender and frothy, white bubbles beckoned her. Somehow, she knew he had added a capful of avocado oil.
The material loosened and dropped over her shoulders as he slid the zipper down the back of her dress. She let it fall into a pile around her feet. Her breasts fell slightly when he unclasp her bra. She stood motionless as the straps were slowly slid down her arms and it fell to the floor.
She rubbed the crease under her breasts where the cotton had held her snug for hours, as she felt her silk panties being gentle worked over her hips, then down to her ankles.
Todd stood and took her hand, she held it as she stepped into the warm water, she watched her own foot disappear under the bubbles.
"I love you!" she whispered as she stepped in with her other foot, she squatted, then lowered herself into the warmth. She moaned, "Aaaaaa" as she sank until her heavy breasts became weightless, covered completely in the soothing warmth of lavender water.
She lay motionless, submerged from her chin down. It was heavenly. She exhaled, her eyes closed, all was silent.
Todd smiled, looking at her, remembering that she had done the same for him less then a week ago.
He turned and went to load the dishwasher. Fifteen minutes later he returned. Kneeling beside the tub he dipped a small, plastic pitcher into the water, holding his hand above her eyebrows to keep water off her face he carefully poured water on her long hair.
