One of the joys of having been with my husband for many years is the sex.
The quantity, the quality, the intimacy, the knowing how to do things to each other's bodies that only comes from years of exploration. The thought of it gives me shivers.
One of the other things that comes with years of intimacy of this quality is communication. Specifically, being willing to ask for exactly what tickles your fancy (or any other part) at a particular moment.
Tonight was one of those nights.
We were in bed, the lights were on low, and his kisses were driving me mad. The things that he knew how to do to me with just a brush of his lips across mine, or the soft trail his tongue leaves as it works its way up the sensitive spots on my neck to my earlobe. Wow.
He had my body tingling, and I knew from experience that he was planning to play my body. He would slowly build up, working his way from neck and lips to more erogenous areas in that excruciatingly slow manner that both of us knew would set off an explosion of an orgasm when he finished.
As great as that sounded, I had other plans.
A few years ago, I wouldn't have spoken up...after all, the sex he had planned was going to curl my toes at least a couple of times, why mess with a good thing? But I had something specific that had been on my mind today, a specific itch that needed to be scratched, and I wasn't afraid to ask for it.
He was still kissing me and his hand was drifting across my stomach when I gently broke away from his kiss and laid out my needs.
"Honey," I said, gently pushing him a few inches away so that I could look at his face. Gorgeous green eyes, chiseled chin, lips glistening with our combined passion, a look of intensity on his face that I recognized. He needed me, he needed to have me, but even more than that I could see that he needed to be a part of my pleasure, to see my body react. There was a small possibility that my demands were going to disappoint him, but I was pretty sure he would go along.
"Dear," I started again. "I've really be craving something - specific, all day today." He turned his head slightly in his quizzical "go on" look.
"I love how you've been working out more recently, and how fabulous your body looks. You're sexy, lean muscle everywhere." It sounded like flattery, but it wasn't. This was my erotic need doing its best to express itself in words.
"I want... No, I NEED to watch your body tonight. To watch you touch yourself. To watch every muscle in your body flex and writhe in pleasure. To watch your face and your body when you cum."
I'm assuming that I sold my request well, because the look in his eyes became even more intense.
"Love, that's quite a coincidence, because I've been thinking something very similar today. I know exactly how we're going to do this." He paused for just a moment, rolling over and getting out of the bed, "Get your vibrator."
"Which one?"
"You know the one." I loved the fact that a statement like that was completely obvious to both of us. There was no question which one he meant.
As he moved to stand next to the bed, I reached into my third drawer and pulled out the small matte black toy that he/we loved so much. He obviously had a plan for what was coming next, so I looked over at him as he now came to stand next to my side of the bed, completely naked, his erection pointed tantalizingly up at a 45 degree angle. On another day I would have leaned over and sought out the taste of his pre-cum, but not today. Today we had other plans, and I couldn't wait.
Sitting on the bed next to him, I examined the parts I'd been thinking about all day - his pecs, his arms, that little bulge of his triceps, the small indents on either side of his abs that accentuated his rock hard core. Realizing now that I'd probably been half wet in anticipation for hours, that itch really needed scratching, and soon.
He stepped back from the bed slightly and motioned me to sit at the edge in front of him. Staring straight ahead at his chest, my gaze kept shifting down to his hard cock and then back up to his increasingly lusty eyes. I absently held my vibrator in my hand, thinking that at any moment now I would press it against my wet pussy. I had a small shiver in anticipation.
