Chapter 4: Bedtime
Michelle and Gary had been married for 20 years. Tonight they were celebrating in style. Gary had arranged an elegant dinner at the best restaurant in town. Michelle had surprised him with a blowjob on the ride home. Gary had returned the surprise with escapade on the sofa and in their huge bathtub. Now, fed, cleaned, and dried, they walked naked and hand in hand into their bedroom.
"Gary, sweetie ... would you wear those black silk boxers to bed tonight? I just love the way the material feels against my backside when we curl up together." Michelle asked her husband.
"Anything to make you happy," Gary responded. "Let me slipped them on and go shutdown the house. Then I will be back and escort you to dreamland."
After dressing as Michelle asked, he prepared for bed and then left to check on the house, something he did every night they were home. Michelle quickly brushed her hair and teeth, then stepped into their closet and stood looking at her lingerie, trying to decide what to wear. She owned quite a collection of chemises, baby dolls, and gowns. She even owned a couple of bra and panties sets plus a corset. All were gifts and surprises from Gary and anyone of them would have suited the evening, but she was looking for something different, something unexpected. Finally, she decided to go with her old standby, a white chemise with a laced bodice, but as she reached for the beautiful lingerie, her eyes caught a glimpse of Gary's work shirts. Gary, being somewhat conservative in the way he dresses, had a whole closet of long sleeve oxford pinpoint dress shirts. Michelle smiled as she dressed herself in a white shirt leaving several buttons.
Michelle exited the closet. She turned off all lights except for the one next to her bedside; that one she kept on its lowest setting. She turned down the bed clothes then laid seductively on the bed, just as Gary retuned.
"Guess you are NOT tired," Gary said as he stared at his wife. Closing the bedroom door, he moved to their bed and lay down beside his bride. He wrapped his arm around her and place a long, tender, but sensual kiss on his her lips. "I cannot remember that shirt ever looking so good."
"I hoped you would like it," Michelle said with a sensual pout. She returned his kiss but with more sensuality and less tenderness. After a lot of smooching, Gary rolled on to his back. Slipping an arm under his wife's shoulders, he encouraged her to lay her head on his chest, after which he rubbed her back as she cuddled close. After so long together, close proximity had become a chief channel of communication. Michelle heard the steady beat of Gary's heart, while Gary felt the warmth and silkiness of Michelle's skin. The pace of their breathing, the way Michelle doodled on Gary's chest, and the rate and pressure of Gary's hand rubbing Michelle's back; the way Michelle wrapped her arms around Gary, Gary's kisses to the top of Michelle's head; all provided information about their love and lust; their wants and needs; their hopes and desires. The couple had a vibrant and constant conversation in a secret language only they knew. One developed over decades of closeness.
The lovers laid together in silence, lost in their own memories for several minutes. Michelle rolled onto her stomach, half lying on Gary. Pulling her face to Gary's she placed a tender and passionate kiss onto his lips, then lowered herself back to his chest and draped a leg lazily and sensually across Gary's. She resumed her doodling while Gary renewed his back rub. Using her fingernails, Michelle playfully traced "I LOVE YOU" on Gary chest. She extended her doodling to Gary's stomach. Running her finger down his mid-section caused Gary's muscled to tighten. Stopping at the waistband of his black boxers, she ran her finger along the band; Gary reacted again with clenched muscles. "Gee, this is fun," Michelle giggled as she ran her finger back up his stomach.
When Gary had enough, he played his trump card by tickling Michelle. "STOP! I get your message,' Michelle cried. They again lounged in each other's arms with Michelle tracing words and pictures over Gary's skin. Re-positioned, Gary could now reach Michelle's bottom. It was then he realized she was wearing no panties.
