When I was back in my old life in the city, in the States, I would stay at work until late, almost dreading coming home. Now, in this new, slower-paced life with you, home is truly a haven, and I'm happy to stay within its walls. I'm home a lot now, working only part time. But on this day, I've been out running a few errands, and wasn't home to greet you when you finished at your job. When I come in, windblown and happy, you're sitting at your computer -- still in the living room after all these months -- shooting virtual fighter planes over Avignon, or wherever, and I smile. How nice to have a husband whose worst vice is imagining himself a WWII flying ace. I'm already unbuttoning my sweater as I enter the room, having shucked my jacket and shoes at the door. You turn your chair to face me. The war will have to wait.
I straddle your lap, wrapping my arms around your neck and kissing you as though I haven't seen you in months. Even after finally living together for over a year ...seeing you after even the shortest absence triggers this response. I hate to be apart from you... You return my kisses hungrily, and I start fingering the buttons on your work shirt. As I get to the lower buttons, you stand up, sliding me back onto my feet. My arms still around your neck, our tongues dancing as we kiss, we start a clumsy dance towards the bedroom. I can feel your cock straining to escape your pants and I can't wait to aid and abet its escape. There is nothing graceful about our entrance as we shut the bedroom door and stumble onto the bed. Entwined, we try to undress ourselves and each other, but it's not easy when we won't stop kissing.
