Greg looked at his watch as he pulled into the drive-way. It was 15 minutes past 11. After nearly 3 weeks, he was finally home back from his extended business trip. He knew that Ashley might be asleep. He got out of the car and carried the luggage to the front door. He turned the key and opened the door. Moving the luggage into the living room, he closed the door soundlessly, not willing to wake her up. Greg shrugged out of his jacket and removed his shoes as he proceeded towards the bedroom.
Greg opened the door and he couldn't stop smiling. Sprawled on the bed, his Ashley looked small and vulnerable. She had a teddy clutched close to her heart. It was the same old teddy bear that he had first gifted her. Whenever he was away on a business trip, the teddy was used as a fill-in. Many a time, Ashley had playfully remarked that the teddy was much softer to cuddle than he was. Suddenly he was overcome with a surge of jealousy seeing the stuffed toy in her arms. He knew that he was being childish but he wanted to be the only one in her arms. Greg was pulled out of his reverie as Ashley shifted on the bed. The covers dipped further down her body. Her exposed body made his flesh twitch. He closed the bedroom door and stripped off his shirt and sat on the bed, beside her. Greg loosened the toy from Ashley's grip. With a little protest, Ashley allowed him to take the teddy away. He placed it on the nightstand, far away from her. Greg turned towards her and looked at her serene face. She looked calm and peaceful. He didn't want to disturb her but his need grew stronger and stronger. He stroked his fingers across her spine. Ashley shivered slightly and moved away from his touch. He unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants. He tugged his pants down along with his briefs. He pulled back the covers and moved closer to her, kissing her forehead. She turned towards him and fluttered open her eyes, looking at him dreamily.
'Hey, Ash,' he whispered as she stretched on the bed, turning towards him.
'Hmm ... you are back,' she smiled and rose on her elbows to kiss him, breathing in his scent.
'You smell so tempting and irresistible,' said Ashley against Greg's ear and traced his earlobe with her tongue.
'Mmm ... Baby, stop doing that,' groaned Greg and he turned his face away.
'I missed my husband,' said Ashley softly as she snuggled closer to Greg and pressed a flurry of kisses across his jaw.
'And I missed my wife,' murmured Greg against her lips, her warm body pressing into his.
'Had your dinner?' she asked and pushed his hair from his forehead.
'Yeah, had something in the flight,' he replied, least concerned about food. 'I am hungry for something else,' he said and nuzzled her neck.
