I stared vacantly out of the kitchen window as I stirred the two cups of tea. Rain was splashing down heavily on the window sill outside as the steam from the kettle evaporated. The television blared out from the living room as my wife dried herself from a relaxing bath.
Her eyes were transfixed on that screen as I brought in her cup of tea. Her beautiful blonde hair was cloaked by her soggy pink towel, her beautiful, lithe body enveloped in a garish green cloth dressing gown. I sat down on the armchair besides her couch, starring at her bare calf, glowing amidst the dimly lit living room, her bare foot tapping rhythmically in front of the electric heater, her dressing gown falling just above her knee to reveal a hint of her perfectly formed thigh.
Droplets of water ran slowly from her thigh and on to her knee, where my hands had caressed, touched, squeezed so many times before. Those thighs, those knees, those calves. They had given me so much pleasure, they made the nights go so blissfully so many times before.
I moved next to her on the couch, kissing her damp, bare neck softly and gently running my hands up her legs. The warm breeze from the heater blew into her gown, which flapped to reveal more of her thigh. Moving my hand up, I squeezed softly, sliding my hand up her gown whilst kissing her neck, her ear lobe, moving my lips slowly towards her soft pink cheek. Yet her gaze could not be averted from the soap opera on the screen.
"Not now John, I'm watching this and I've just had a bath!" She said in a harsh tone. I pleaded, but to no avail, and my pleading caused her annoyance. "God! John - not now! We need some bread, go to the shop and get some if you've nothing to do!"
I felt rejected and frustrated that this beautiful woman whom I adored had found more time for a soap opera than for me. I stooped away from her and exited, putting on my hooded coat and boots as I left for the shop. The rain was still falling evenly, though it wasn't as incessant as it was earlier in the evening.
I trampled through a puddle on the driveway as I made my way out of the front gate, carefully shutting it behind me as I stared at the closed curtains in the living room. As I walked, I mourned what seemed to me to be the waining of her sensuality, her sexuality.
We'd been married three years, after two years of courtship. I met her on holiday, in the Algarve. I was playing football with a few friends on the beach when I spotted her with some of her friends watching us, giggling girlishly and wolf whistling at us playfully. Later that night, we went out for a few drinks in downtown Albufeira.
I seen her again at Capítulo V, her short white dress flowing freely on the dance floor as she danced playfully with another girl. We got talking, we got dancing. Pressing her back against my body as she danced, I ran my hands up her soft thighs, squeezing them playfully as she smiled. I stroked her hips as I kissed her neck gently, pressing my lips against her bare neck, which glistened from sweat in the heat of the dance floor.
We left early, walking hand in hand to the beach. Throwing me on to the sandy shores as the stars blanketed the sky, she leaped on top of me and began kissing me passionately, giggling as she ran her hand up my shirt, undoing the buttons from the top down. I grabbed her thigh as she wrapped her legs around mine, and she groaned as I squeezed her arse cheek, before squeezing them tight and running my hands up and down her thighs and arse.
Reaching back, she undid the buttons at the back of her dress. Letting the straps fall over her bare shoulders, she revealed her breasts to me, smiling. I stared at them momentarily. Sweat glistened the protuberance of her nipples as I lifted my hand toward her large, round breasts, squeezing and teasing them with my fingers and thumbs and with lips and tongue and teeth.
I rolled her over on the naked sand, kissing her perfectly formed body down from her stomach as I slid off her dress, then working my hands up from her feet, tightly holding her skin as I stroked my hands up, over her calves, her knees and her thighs.
