It all seemed to come down to her nipples.
Oh, it never started there, certainly. She hardly ever evinced what one would conventionally interpret as desire. She wasnât given to frequent or overt displays of affection, even in private. And if she was ever horny, she was as reticent about it as a Vulcan would be about premature ejaculation. Indeed, getting her âstartedâ was oftentimes akin to lighting a match at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
But when she did get started, she could be pretty darned hot. And her nipples were usually the tip-off.
When you live with a woman long enough, even one as guarded as she was, you learn to recognize the signs that an invitation is being issued.
Being the eager beaver stuffer that he was, he thought of invitations as her slinking out in almost a teddy, dropping to her knees, yanking out his stiffening member, and trying to suck his asscheeks through his urethra.
But thatâs just not the way she was. Instead, she left the light on in the bedroom.
The idea was that even if she dozed off, she was still available for loving should he be feeling the need for it - which, of course, he felt just about any time than he wasnât projectile-vomiting.
One recent night she had âcollapsed in bedâ as she liked to put it, which she usually did before him, as like his dad, he was a night owl. He noticed the light on for an extended period of time. And that gave him all the encouragement he needed.
After making the rounds, he turned off the TV and lights, headed down the hall to the bedroom, just as the light from beneath the door winked out. Curses! Heâd missed his window of opportunity!
Or had he? Mustering up his resolve and patience, he decided to, er, thrust ahead anyway.
Entering the darkened room, he quickly removed his clothing and climbed into his side of the bed. He snuggled up to her, noticing, as expected, that she still had her nightie on. He put his arms around her andâŠwaited.
Recall that she was difficult to get âstarted.â Perhaps a better way to describe it is that she could be enticed, but it just took a while. It wasnât like the fantasy world of porn scenes, where the woman comes slinking out in almost a teddy, dropping to her knees, yanking out the manâs stiffening member, and trying to give herself a semen enema from the opposite end. With her, the cuddling and holding and all that âafterglowâ stuff had to come first.
Now he liked cuddling as much as anybody, but putting it at the opposite end of the encounter pit closeness against arousal. Which is a âliteraryâ way of saying that sleeping on his stomach became an impossibility. So it wasnât surprising that his hand started roaming around her anatomy like âThingâ from the Addams Family. And, as expected, it skittered up against the barrier of the arm she almost instinctively used to barricade the approaches to her breasts.
This was where patience and a little playfulness came in. Rather than getting frustrated or bored, his hand simply retreated â or, rather, advanced in the opposite direction â and went on a slow, forced finger march across her soft midriff toward her pussy.
Not directly onto or into it â she found that to be a huge turnoff early in foreplay, for some reason â but the general vicinity. A quick, teasing pass over her pubic hair, though, produced a twitch and a giggle and propelled his fingertips to her delectable, creamy thighs, which he found endlessly diverting, and which had the effect of inspiring her to roll over and kiss him.
Like her passion in general, her kissing was like an ocean liner â it started slow, but eventually gained an unstoppable momentum. Within minutes, soft lip contact grew to open mouths and then vigorous, torrid tongue intermingling, and her fingertips were on his nipples, eliciting uncontainable groans.
As if a transporter beam had removed it, her intruding arm was gone from her chest, and her breasts were accessible. Even through her nightie, he could tell that her nipples were standing at attention. Yes!
