"What is that?" I asked.
"What?" she replied.
"What you're wearing."
"This?"
"Don't play coy, yes, that."
I was lying in bed with the TV on, our normal ritual on a work night. A little TV. Maybe a kiss goodnight. We turn the lights out and go to sleep. We call it "Wednesday."
"It's my new pajamas."
"I figured that. I've never seen them before."
"It's a onesie."
"I know. Does it have feet?"
"Not this one," she said, stepping around the bed.
"Don't babies usually wear them?"
"They make them for adults, too."
She gave me a little twirl. It was black with little colored stars on it. There were buttons down the front, and the material was thing, like cotton. Or something similar. It was tight -- hugging each and every one of her curves -- and she had two buttons unfastened, so I could get a hint of skin.
"I like it," I said.
"Do you?"
"Yeah."
"It doesn't look silly?"
"Ummmm no," in a way that let her know I very much disagreed with that notion.
"Good."
She talked to me about work and her sister and the drive in from town last week, or something. I could hear her voice, but I could not concentrate. She was leaning down to plug in her bedside light, and all I could focus on was how tight this onesie was and how great her ass looked in it and how much I wanted to fuck her.
"... and she laughed. Which was odd. Because you know her. She never does that."
"Right."
"Are you listening to me?"
"Huh?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
"Uh, yeah. Sister. Work. Traffic."
She eyed me with that curious look, pulling back the covers and grabbing her book. I had CNN on, so she flipped open her novel and stretched out, her body covered in onesie from shoulders down... except for that patch of skin that those opened buttons were kind enough to show. One would think MORE skin is a turn on, but sometimes the turn on is the restriction of access.
When she read, she had this habit of twirling her hair. Normally, I did not notice. Today, it was driving me crazy.
"What?" she said, catching me staring.
"Huh?"
"What are you looking at?" she had that devilish smirk on her face that told me she sort of knew what was on my mind but wanted me to say it.
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe is not an answer."
"'Maybe' is an answer, it's just not a definitive one."
She returned her eyes to the page, and I lowered the volume on the TV. I lay on my side, to her right and tried to be discreet, my eyes shooting glances at her in this onesie. But it was hard.
I mean, it was just so tight. And she looked so... cute. And sexy. And adorable. And hot. It was confusing.
You have to understand, she is normally so many things, but cute is not one of them. Sexy? Glamorous? Beautiful? Sophisticated? Gorgeous? Brilliant? All of that. But I've never called her cute.
The word felt like an insult. It was a default compliment. A word used to describe things that made you say "Awww," not "Mmmmm." I never thought cute and innocent meant hot, but now it did. So now I was confused and couldn't stop staring. And I wanted to be inside of her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"What?"
"Is your hand lost?"
"Is it?" I said.
"I thought this was TV time. Why are you rubbing my stomach?"
"It does not have to be TV time, who says?"
"Well, it's Wednesday."
"So? There are no rules."
"I thought there was?"
"No," I said. "And if they are, we make them."
"It's the onesie, isn't it?"
"Huh?"
"Admit it," she said, teasing. "You like it. You think it's sexy."
"No, that's not it."
"It's something new, and you like it."
"No," I said, my cheeks blushing. "I mean, it's fine."
"Yeah?" she said, standing up. She turned around, so I could see her ass outlined in the tight fabric. "So when I bend over like this, it does nothing?"
"No moreso than normal," I lied.
