Debbie belatedly realized that she might have forgotten her evening ritual when she noticed her CycleBeads on her nightstand. She looked at her calendar and counted the days since the Monday over a week ago that she had circled when she started menstruating. That was eleven days ago. She then counted the beads on her CycleBeads from the brown bead. The marker ring was only on the ninth bead. She should have moved it to the tenth bead last night. As she advanced the marker ring, she took notice that it was on the third white bead. The realization evoked memories of four Fridays ago then the nervous wait a week ago Sunday and Monday that in turn provoked a disturbing combination of anxiety and arousal. She briefly contemplated canceling her date, but cancelling on such sudden notice would be unfair as well as frustrating. She rationalized that the marker ring was only on the third white bead rather than the fifth and that she had already gotten away with it once.
Debbie was setting her CycleBeads down when she heard David walking out of their bathroom. As he was toweling himself dry, her gaze was drawn to his penis and testicles nestled in his graying pubic hair. Her husband no longer seemed quite so... "adequate" as she had described him to her friends on a few occasions. As she turned towards him, she became acutely aware of her choice of lingerie for the day. She watched as her husband inspected her as she stood before him in her garter belt, stockings and shelf bra.
"Going commando again? This must be your Second Friday," David speculated nervously.
Debbie stammered, "You aren't angry with me, are you?"
"I promised you Five Fridays," David conceded reluctantly. "However; I was beginning to hope that there wouldn't be a Second Friday. I am also jealous. I can't remember the last time that you wore a garter belt and stockings much less that shelf bra for me. Is it going to be just dinner and dancing, then hanging out in your van for a few hours while you sober up?"
"I promise you that I'll wear a garter belt and stockings the next time we go out," Debbie said apologetically. "I thought that it would be just dinner this evening, probably without dancing, then hanging out in his hotel room."
David asked, "are you going to spend the night?"
"I haven't decided," Debbie answered truthfully as she noticed his penis swelling slightly. "Are you certain that it would be okay?"
"We already discussed that. Unless you cut your date short, a Friday evening almost inevitably becomes a Saturday morning. The only question is how much of Saturday morning. Just remember that this Cinderella turns into a pumpkin at noon rather than at midnight," David admonished her.
"I guess I should pack an overnight bag," Debbie speculated as the encouraging erection became more evident.
She felt her husband watching her as she chose a simple, bandeau style summer dress for Saturday morning and packed it into a small bag. She added a toothbrush, a hairbrush and a few other essentials. When she turned towards her husband, she was greeted by an undeniably erect penis. "What the Hell is wrong with him?" she thought to herself. "He should be angered rather than aroused by the situation. Thank God that he is aroused."
Debbie stepped towards her husband to give him a hug then whispered, "Thank you for being so understanding." She was rewarded by the sensation of his penis swelling to full erection against her sex. She felt him pressing between her labia as David maneuvered to penetrate her. She giggled as she felt him struggling to plunge of his penis into her but given the angle only his glans was able to penetrate her. She tilted her head to kiss him as he struggled.
Debbie was surprised by the realization that while she was aroused by her husband's obviously urgent desire for her, her desire was not for her husband. As their kiss ended, she glanced at her CycleBeads. She saw the disappointment in his eyes as his gaze focused on her beads. Although they had eagerly relied entirely on the Pull and Pray method during the early years of their marriage, it had been a question of when rather than if she wanted to get pregnant. Once she discovered CycleBeads, they had become somewhat more circumspect and often abstained or enjoyed other pleasures when her beads warned that she might be fertile.
Debbie's guilt compelled her to placate her husband. "May be tomorrow?"
