This is a fun little romp about a 40-something husband and wife who are seeking to find a little of the youthful spark in their sexual activities that has faded over the years. With their kids moved on to college, they now have the time and privacy to "explore" methods of bringing that spark back. I intend to write this as a series, as I have a few other ideas in mind. I'd also like to find a female writing partner that would be willing to write these from wife's perspective. Please message me privately if you are interested.
This could have gone in any of several categories. I chose "Erotic Couplings," but I think it would have also worked in others.
I hope you enjoy! Comments are my pay for these stories, so please tell me what you think!

It was a little bit past two in the afternoon, and a break in my schedule allowed me time to get my cell phone out of my desk drawer and tap out a message.
"Are you still up for this?"
After a few minutes, a reply came.
"Yes, I think so."
"I have a few things to pick up on the way home. I should be there by six."
"Okay, I'll see you then."
"I love you, babe!"
"I love you too!"
I set my phone back in the drawer. We were going to go through with our little plan. I think we were probably both a little nervous, although there really wasn't any reason to be. We had discussed this thoroughly, covering almost all angles. It may be one of those things that after you do it once or twice, it will eventually seem like second nature, if we decided to do it again. As I set there in my office, I thought back to how it was that we had gotten to this point.
My name is Kyle. There is really nothing remarkable about me. I work in the middle of corporate America, my office in a downtown high-rise overlooking the city below. The job is not nearly as glamorous as the view, but it pays well, and I'm blessed to have been able to provide for my family.
I'm in my mid-40's. I'm married to a beautiful woman I met while in my second year of college. Her name is Victoria, but it's a big name for a petite woman, so for as long as I've known her, she's just been Vic. We happened to have a class together, and the professor assigned the two of us to complete a team project. After working together on the project for two straight evenings, we literally fell in love with each other. We married the first weekend following our graduation from college, and began to live the American Dream.
For the first three years of our marriage, we pretty much did whatever we wanted to do, whenever we wanted to do it. We had an active social life with several close friends. Our love life was off the charts. Our relationship was such that we could tell each other anything regarding sex - likes and dislikes, passions and fantasies, all without fear of retribution or jealousy from each other.
But as great as those days were, we felt it was necessary to put that lifestyle aside and expand our family. Our son Justin came first, and 14 months later our daughter Jasmine was born. Feeling like our family size was perfect, we made the decision that I would have a vasectomy. It wasn't much fun, and I'm glad I don't have to do it again. But I was able to milk some "special attention" from my wife as I healed. Special attention isn't always about sex!
We set about our life as doting parents. Our social activities all but ceased. Our sex life remained good, but limited in frequency and availability. We were still madly in love with each other, but it just wasn't practical to keep up with the level of sex we enjoyed those first three years. But neither of us complained, and in reality, each time we made love, it was that much more special, since it didn't happen as often as it did before.
As the kids became busier with the activities in their lives, we found less time to spend on our own healthy habits. Consequently, our bodies suffered. Vic never quite lost all of her pregnancy weight after Jasmine was born. I had a pretty typical "dad bod," complete with small spare tire around my waist. I began to notice that everyday activities were harder to accomplish. I certainly wasn't as trim and in shape as I had been when we got married.
Our kids had done well in school, and soon they were headed off to college. Between the scholarships they had been awarded and the college funds we had established shortly after each one had been born, it didn't look like the financial strain of paying for college was going too be hard on us. They had ended up in two different schools, each in the opposite direction from our home.
While we loved our kids, Vic and I found that having the house to ourselves again was pretty nice! I've heard other people talk of "empty nest syndrome," and how hard it was coping without their children being around all the time. Not us - we loved our privacy. We anticipated returning to a lifestyle similar to what we had before the kids were born.
