Michael and I had been flirting all night.
The suggestive comment he made about my new cocktail dress when he took my wrap at the restaurant. The way I pressed my breasts into his back when we left the bar. The way he brushed his hand across my ass as we were seated for dinner. The way my bare toes caressed his calf under the table. The way he steadied my hand and stroked my wrist when I offered a taste of my crème brûlée.
I needed the flirting. It had been a long, tedious day at the end of a long, tedious week, and I'd been eagerly looking forward to our anniversary date night. Michael had made special arrangements at our favorite restaurant, and everything had been magical. It looked like there would be fireworks tonight. Just like last year... and the year before.
"Be honest," I said to him over coffee, "Have things in the bedroom gotten... repetitive?"
"Maybe," Michael admitted. "But only because we've figured out what works. Why?"
"It just seems like it's been a long time since we tried anything...
new
," I pouted.
"Did you have something in mind?"
"No... No, not really." Too little, too late. I should have spent as much time thinking about the bedroom as I did shopping for this dress.
"We could get online and do some 'research' together," he suggested. I made a face that let him know
exactly
what I thought of that idea. "No... that didn't work so well last time did it?"
"It did not," I deadpanned. I really have no problem with the abstract idea of my husband looking at porn. But seeing the actual women, who are all younger and skinnier than me, was more than my aging ego could handle.
"Any ideas from those trashy novels you like?" he asked, cleverly changing the subject.
"Hmm... We'd either need a horse, a private jet, or a dungeon." He has his porn, I have mine.
"Well, once the boys are both out of the house, we can convert one of their bedrooms," Michael offered with a grin. I didn't feel like waiting quite
that
long.
"They're not home tonight," I intimated coyly, arching an eyebrow and licking a bit of whipped cream from the top of my Irish coffee.
"That sounds like you have an idea."
"No, not yet. But I'm not going to waste an opportunity. I am going to come up with
something
new for you tonight."
"You're so good to me."
After dinner, we strolled the five blocks home hand-in-hand, ignoring the chill in the air. As Michael went to unlock the door of our townhouse, I wrapped my arms around him from behind and nibbled on his earlobe. I still hadn't come up with anything new, but I wasn't going to let that stop me.
"Did I remember to tell you I love you?" he asked, turning into my embrace.
"Mmmm, yes, but tell me again," I replied, as I always did.
"I love you, Tanya."
"I love you, too."
And he kissed me there on the stoop.His hands wandered across my back and lower feeling bare skin beneath the satin of my dress. My lips parted his and our tongues rolled against each other as I pulled him closer to me.
Michael reached back to the door handle, and pushed the door open, pulling me inside without letting our lips part, and pushing the door closed behind us leaving all of my reports and budget analysis and the rest of the world on the other side. On this side of the door there was only us.
I reached for his jacket and he reached for my wrap and as we tried to undress each other there in the foyer, everything became a tangled mess and we gave up, laughing.
He took my wrap and his jacket and hung them in the closet as I pulled off my heels. Caressing the banister, I gave him a come-hither look and asked "Follow me upstairs?"
"I'll follow that cute little ass of yours anywhere."
Now my ass hasn't been cute or little for two kids and almost two decades. But Michael still believed it was, and when he said it I believed it too, and for a moment I was a size 6 newlywed again. He had that effect on me.
As I lead the way up, and knowing he was eye-level with my "cute little ass," I made sure to sway my hips enticingly with each step. Near the top of the stairs, I felt his hand caress my inner thigh, lightly running his fingers up and up and up under my dress until he was stroking a lacy wisp of almost nothing that cost a surprising amount.
I paused, one bare foot on the stair above, one on the stair below, my strappy heels dangling from my fingers.
"Oooooohhhh..." I moaned softly. Gripping the railing I arched my back and leaned my head back as he caressed the curve of my mons through the delicate fabric. He slid his other hand up under my dress and squeezed my bare ass. I slowly gyrated my hips and ground myself into his fingers.
"Mmmmmm... Michael..." I whispered.
"You like that?"
"Mm-Hmm."
While his fingers continued to gently explore my contours through the insubstantial lace of my thong, I took the hem of my dress and hiked it up around my waist, giving him unfettered access. I gasped when he pulled my thong to the side and slid his fingers along the crease of my vulnerable lips. With just a little pressure he opened me, and found my waiting clit desperate for attention. A gentle tickle was all it took to elicit a quiet moan.
"Oh God... Mmmm..."
I dropped my shoes and braced my empty hand against the wall as his finger probed deeper into my heat. Finding the slick dew that would smooth further play, he stroked my slit more aggressively now, and caressed my bare thigh. I bowed my head forward and my breathing became ragged.
"Here? On the stairs?" I gasped.
"You wanted something new."
