This story is probably the shortest that I have ever submitted on Literotica, and it is definitely the first that I have placed into the Erotic Couplings category, so I'm interested to see who fans of that genre view my writing.
This is an entry into the 2020 Valentine's Day contest, so your votes and feedback are greatly appreciated.
Please enjoy.
No Names Necessary
"Fucking engineers," he muttered as he shut the front door with a bang. He walked into the apartment and tossed his jacket on a chair. She looked up at him with a smile.
She was curled up on the couch with a paperback book, dressed in one of his t-shirts and a pair of panties, with pink socks on her feet. He loosened his tie as he glanced at her without much interest.
"What are you doing here?" he asked brusquely.
She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from making the retort that sprang to mind. He got like this sometimes. No point in making it worse.
"Waiting for you," she finally answered, attempting to keep her voice as calm as possible.
"What's that smell?" he asked suddenly, glancing around. "You cooking?"
"It's beef stew," she replied. "I am good for more than just... you know."
He seemed to relax as he pulled the loosened tie off. "Yes," he agreed, his tone of voice somewhat softer, "I do know."
"Here, let me help you," she offered as he started on the buttons of his pale-blue Oxford shirt.
Setting the book aside, she walked over to him, took the tie out of his hand, set it with his jacket, and then stooped down to help him out of his shoes. Then, she stood up and started on the buttons of the shirt, gently brushing his hands aside.
With each button she undid, her hand slipped into his shirt and caressed the warm skin of his chest. Finally, she tugged the tails out and put her arms around him, inside the shirt, pressing her cheek to his shoulder. He dropped a kiss on top of her head, a display of gentle affection that surprised her. She knew that he was passionate; knew that he was a magnificent sexual entity, but even after all this time, his little gestures of affection still took her unawares. Like the time he sent her flowers for, apparently, no reason at all.
She kissed his chest and inhaled the musky fragrance of his skin, her senses reeling. Then her fingers slid down his body to the top of his pants and she quickly undid the button but had a bit more trouble getting the zipper down. He already had an erection, bulging and placing pressure on his fly from the inside.
She grabbed the top of his pants and his boxer shorts all at once, and then just slid them down. His lovely stiff member was right in her face as she did it. She paused, hands still on the pants which were now around his ankles, gave his cock a kiss, and was rewarded with an involuntary groan from deep within him.
"I never knew my shirt could look so good," he commented, touching the fabric of the t-shirt she had on.
"Well, it would look better on the floor," she answered with a smile and lifted her arms as she rose. He took the hint immediately and pulled the t-shirt over her head, tossing it aside. His left hand went immediately to cup one of her full breasts. The other arm went around her waist, pulling her close to his own body.
"Yes, I see that it does look better over there on the floor," he murmured huskily, his hand still massaging her breast erotically. "You haven't laid out in the sun for months, yet your tan lines are still as much of a turn-on as ever."
She sighed and leaned against him. Her knees were getting weak, and when he brushed her hair aside while lowering his head to kiss her neck, she let her head roll to the side, giving him full access to her tender flesh.
