The sound of keyboard typing momentarily ceases as I sigh in frustration. This proposal has been eating up most of my days for weeks on end, with the deadline for submission rapidly approaching. I run my fingers through my hair as I stare at the screen. I barely hear my wife, Josephine, enter the room.
"You've been working too hard, shouldn't you take a break?" she asks.
I always answer the same way.
"You know that I'd give anything for this to be over, but it's only a few more days."
I smell the familiar scent of coffee, which has been my fuel for today. I turn to accept with gratitude, only to see that my wife has her robe on, with not much underneath. My brain begins to calculate if this is due to simply comfort or there is another motive in mind.
"Thanks, dear" I say as I try to ignore what I just noticed. However, as I go to reach it I can smell her familiar scent. A mix between divine and lust that is impossible to attribute to ordinary scents. In the split second it takes for me to take my coffee I notice how her hair cascadess down her side -- fair and clean. I'd give anything to run my fingers through it, but I need to stay focused. She places her hand on my right shoulder, leaning down to give me a kiss on my cheek.
"Don't work too hard" she says, as she drags her hand lightly across my back. The wetness of her kiss lingering on my cheek, making it difficult to focus on much else at this time. However, it's my duty to provide for us and provide I shall. Even if it means ignoring my base instincts to finish this damn proposal.
Another hour goes by and I've barely touched my coffee. It's gone cold at this point. I am in the middle of a sentence and I feel the familiar touch of Josephine. Both hands on my shoulders this time, which transitions to wrapping them around my chest so that her chin rests in the crook of my neck. Her scent is intoxicating.
"Are you sure you can't take a break?" she pleads.
"Honey, you know I want to, but in order for me to receive the funding next semester this has to be submitted tonight for review." I respond. I am curious why she is so insistent on me taking breaks, when before it never seemed to be that much of an issue. I work long hours to accelerate my research program, which will only set up my future family with a solid foundation to live off of for the years to come. We've always wanted kids, but it has never been explicitly discussed. I have been putting it off until this proposal is done so that we can plan accordingly. We both want to bring a baby into the world when the time is right.
I begin to continue typing, hinting that I need to get back to work, but her hands linger on my chest -- softly rubbing my chest. I'm in my usual cardigan and t-shirt, with comfortable sweatpants since I'm at my home office. Her hands slip underneath the folds of the cardigan, gently caressing my body as I try to focus. I'm not stupid enough to reject her, but also responsible enough to realize I need to get this work done. I figure a compromise is I will just try to work in her presence. After all, I love her presence.
It's strange how when you claim a woman as your own, you begin to notice minute changes in their behaviour and scent. I do a rough calculation in my head and realize with a start that Josephine is ovulating. Why I came to that thought, I cannot say. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the woman I wish to impregnate one day is rubbing my chest, combined with the fact that she has already submitted to be my woman through marriage. However, ever since I was a teenager I had this old-fashioned notion that in order to truly claim a woman as your own, the man must plant his seed deep within the most fertile part of her body. Unfortunately, since Josephine is unable to take birth control -- I have yet to fulfill that duty. The timing just isn't right. At least, so I thought.
Her hands trail down my chest to my stomach, where she stops just shy of my waist band before taking her hands back. I feel her move around the chair and drop to her knees in a slow seductive manner. Beginning to massage my manhood through my pants.
"You work too hard, Jason" she purrs.
"I do this for you, Josephine -- so you can have the life you want. You know this." I reply, while trying to remain composed. In an alternate universe I'd be gripping her hair and forcing her to deep throat me like an animal, but I'm a civil, ethical academic with a job to complete.
I let her toy with me. Show her that she can't sway my resolve. As expected, she begins to free me from my pants, my semi-hard cock free for my wife to gaze upon. With an expert touch she wraps her feminine hands around my shaft, slowly stroking me. My thick, veiny shaft begins to respond immediately, although I continue to stare at my proposal. The words not making sense anymore, as all I feel is the desire to succumb to the pleasure she can bring.
