My third story as I work to build up my Literotica portfolio.
Originally, I was just going to do the seasonal challenges, but I feel like I have more stories to tell.
All of my stories are based in truth.
Events that really happened -- but I've added a twist or enhancements to make them more entertaining.
I always appreciate guesses in the comments what's real and what's a "twist".
Finally, an appeal to all readers.
Like many authors on here, I thrive on ratings, favorites, follows and feedback!
Leave constructive feedback -- let me know what's working and what's not.
It's how we all improve.
That being said, comments like "Yawn" or
"Sucked" really doesn't help anyone.
Thanks for reading!
Hope you enjoy.

The problem with Winter in the Midwest isn't only the cold, it's the darkness. As of Mid-November, we leave our houses for work in the dark and come home in the dark. During the winter of COVID, it was even worse. With fewer cars on the road, even the streets seemed darker. All the cold and darkness were causing everyone's stress and anxiety levels to slowly build up inside. It was this exact scenario as I pulled into my street at 5:00 one Tuesday night. I drove slowly, looking out for dog walkers or neighbors out for their nightly constitutional. My mood was melancholy at best, grumpy at worst.
As I made the turn around the bend, I could see our house lit up with our Christmas lights. We weren't quite at the Clark Griswold level -- but our house stood out. Seeing the bright lights, I took a deep breath and tried to manufacture a better mood for when I walked in the door.
As I pulled in, I noticed was that our 17 year-old daughter's red Jeep wasn't parked in the driveway. I pulled into the garage, put the car and saw my wife's car in the other spot. I picked up my phone and used our Family App to see that my daughter was still at school. Even though during these COVID times, she wasn't at school for a full schedule and there were no sports after classes, the school was still doing their best to keep the kids engaged. Seeing that she probably had some after-school activity, I figured she wouldn't be home for a while and dinner would be a while.
Grumpy and now hungry, I went up the stairs to the kitchen to see my wife of 19 years getting dinner ready. She had her back to me and was making a roast of some sort in a pot. She was chopping a bunch of vegetables, covering them with olive oil and dumping them in the same pot. Looking at her, my mood did improve, albeit only slightly.
Sherri and I had been together for over twenty years and married for 19 of them. When we were first together, Sherri was a tall, thin blonde with small perky tits, tight ass and long lean legs. There was an old store, "bebe", that Sherri could have been the perfect model for. But age & motherhood does change things. Over the years, she had filled out in a good way. Her breasts were now a 38C that were just as sensitive before, but gave me more to grab, lick and touch. Sherri's long blonde hair was gone, she now had a close-cropped coppery-red cut that was in style. Her ass was larger, too, but her Lulu Lemon yoga pants had it lifted up and looking full and high on her frame.
It was pretty obvious that she had just come from the gym as she had on her yoga pants, socks and a bulky zip-up hoodie over a slightly-visible sports bra.
"Hey Honey! How was your day?" she asked without looking up.
My improving mood clicked back in the other direction when she asked about my day. I snapped back in my reply, "Kinda crappy. Nobody wants to spend money until they know what the Governor is going to do, but they still want work done for free."
"It'll get better, don't worry."
"You always say that, babe. But when? Seriously? When is going to get better?" Now, I was raising my voice at the one person who didn't deserve it. I caught myself just in time.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to snap." I dropped my bags and came up behind Sherri, giving her a hug around the waist and a kiss on the back of the neck.
"I get it. But we'll get through it. We always do." Her voice was a little terser than before and I knew I had screwed up. I attempted to back my attitude up a bit and kept kissing and nuzzling her neck.
"Ewww....don't" Sherri shrugged and wiggled to get away from my arms and lips, "I'm all sweaty from the gym. I'm just getting all this in the oven, then I'm grabbing a quick shower before Jackie gets home."
"I just looked at the app. She's still at school, which means she's at least 45 minutes away." I replied as I started to work my hands up her sweatshirt to her sports bra encased breasts. I was also pressing myself up against her so she was slightly bent forward, trapped between my hips and the counter. Her hands were still covered in vegetable scraps, oil and spices, so she couldn't do much to push me back. All she could do was brace herself on the counter, but her slick hands made even that difficult.
"Babe," she said with a sigh, still irritated at my initial attitude. "I told you, I'm gross and sweaty. You don't want to be touching me right now." Like many men, I never mind when a woman is sweaty. Sometimes it can actually add to the sexiness of the situation.
"So, if you're already sweaty and going to take a shower, I see no reason why you can't get even more sweaty first." As I said this, I kept my left hand on her breast and started to work my right hand down through the tight barrier of her yoga pants. I made it through the waistband and was able to work a finger down into her panties. Our positioning and the damn yoga pants prevented me from getting much farther, however. I nipped and kissed at her neck knowing it would increase her arousal.
