Moving to the Lancashire coast was a decision based on the health benefits, a tourist lifestyle and the great coastal panoramas. It was a return to my schoolgirl roots and being close to my ageing parents meant I could support them more easily if their health deteriorated. My husband had recently taken early retirement and was happy to move too to get a better environment for us both. As he was ten years older I was still working and not that jealous of his free time, much!
At fifty, PJ is still looking pretty good. Six feet two with a bit of a dad bod now he reminds me of 'Big' from 'Sex and the City'. We married later in life I suppose and too late for children. This has meant financial comfort and stability and the accompanying freedom.
The move also meant I could see a few old school friends and catch up with people I hadn't seen regularly for over fifteen years. In particular, my best friend from school, Sherry, lives two streets away and we pretty much picked up where we left off. We had always had that type of relationship, close, comfortable and no secrets. Whilst I'm brunette, five feet seven and would describe myself as attractive, Sherry is fair, shorter and also pretty. She's been married to Gareth for much longer. We both have the hourglass figures and, whilst I won't list statistics, could share size 12 clothes.
What I hadn't contended with was husband's increased libido. Maybe it was the sea air or maybe just that he had so much time on his hands but he was like a new man. He spent most of the day naked around the house and in our mostly secluded garden and delighted in trying to distract me from my work.
As a senior manager in a huge public organisation, my day largely consisted of meetings or calls with other managers but, thanks to a global pandemic, this was almost exclusively done from home. Fortunately, he respected the field of view of my laptop's camera and avoided becoming a viral internet sensation as a naked backdrop in a management meeting.
Hubby developed certain preferences. He was a fan of sharing his fantasies and I enjoyed listening. His list was quite specific but quite extensive. Fortunately, these remained, for the large part, as just that, fantasies. Additionally, there was nothing too extreme so nothing that I found a massive turn off. It helped (when I'd had a long day or, during the day, had limited time and meetings to come) to speed his climax, to engage with these fantasies and the excitement generated help satisfy him more quickly. This met both of our needs on occasion.
We bought a cock lock which I would infrequently put on him in the morning and this meant I could take a dominant role with him wearing the key around my neck all day, and getting on with work. Cups of tea on demand, evening meal prepared by him and sending him on errands were rewarded with him being set free in the evening and allowed to take me in a manner of his choosing.
