When they remodeled their bathroom they intentionally built a walk-in shower. They large kind that requires no door.
And they intentionally built the vanity with a view of the shower from the mirrors.
And they intentionally built a padded bench at each end of the vanity. They did this for two reasons. They wanted a place to sit, like to put on or take off shoes. And if desired, they wanted a place to sit and watch the other shower.
None of this was done with raunchy or flashy or aggressive intent.
It was all done because they thought the other was attractive. And showering was an interesting and intimate thing to watch.
On an otherwise uneventful Saturday afternoon she finds herself sitting and watching him shower. It's not voyeuristic in the least. They've been talking non-stop ever since he got home about a serious injury that happened at his work.
She listens raptly. He tells and retells the story with skill.
She certainly notices his naked body in all of its soapy glory, but this is not a sexual moment for her. For men in might be, but for most women it's not.
He continues to tell the story as he dries off and as he steps up to the mirror to comb out his hair.
She listens and she ask questions. He gives more details and he emphasizes key parts.
And inadvertently her eyes land on his penis which is resting on the fake marble surface of the vanity. It registers oddly to her. Maybe it's the angle. Maybe it's just a new and wholly different way to see it. Maybe it's within the context of the intensity of the story.
She doesn't know.
But something had clicked.
She's not a big fan of giving him oral sex. It's too connected with bad odors and impersonal, impetuous desires.
But something odd clicked at that moment.
Maybe because it was freshly washed and dried. Maybe because it's so near her and so empty of sexual intention. Maybe at that moment she saw it not as a thing of pee and sperm, but of beauty and desire.
She doesn't know.
But something did click.
"Honey, come here."
"Huh?"
"Come here. Scoot over. Come here."
"Huh?"
She motions with her hand.
"Why?"
"Just do it, please."
As he does she tells him to keep going, keep talking where you just left off."
In his mind he thinks she wants to see something on his legs or stomach or whatever.
He is surprised when he gets within reach of her and she pulls his hips towards her. And far more surprised when she pulls his limp, clean penis into her mouth.
She sucks three times. Hard. He feels the pull.
"Woh! What are you doing?"
"I don't know. Don't ask. Just keep talking."
He pauses a moment and takes in the sight. Which is really, really rare. And he takes in the feeling. Which is really, really, good.
