As grateful as I was to have a wife with a hot body, I always wished Jen wanted to show it off just a bit more. Somehow she was convinced she wasn't that great looking and therefore no one would want to see any more of her than was necessary. I don't know where this idea came from: she's 5'7" with lovely long legs, a nice bubble of a booty, and deliciously round C-cup breasts. But she didn't see it. She saw a body that needed more hours at the gym, more tan on the skin, and more makeup to the face. It was sad, really. All my friends thought she was the hottest wife in our group and bitched to me constantly that she never wore bikinis to the pool parties, always wore opaque tights when she wore a skirt, and kept her collar lines high enough that getting an inch of cleavage was a victory. Whenever I had tried to encourage her, compliment her, suggest anything to her, she blew it off, "Of course YOU think I'm hot, you have to: you married me." Then she'd give me a frisky grope and redeem herself: she may not enjoy showing herself off in public, but she was very confident about what to do with that delicious body in the bedroom.
So I couldn't have planned for a more satisfying treat than the day the pest control came by. We had signed up with GoneBuggy shortly after moving into our single story track home. The ants were terrible, crawling in from unidentifiable crevices and then feeding a large population of spiders in each corner and under every cupboard. GoneBuggy came every other month and sprayed magic chemicals around the perimeter of the house and in the shrubby bits of the yard and, presto, no more ants and thus, no more spiders either.
During the first visit, a "technician" schedules to meet in person so you can walk them around your property and answer all sorts of questions about the kinds of bugs you've seen and how often you water your yard and whether you have pets or children. Then the technician works up a plan for your needs and explains where and what they will be spraying. It's sort of a trust exercise because they come into your yard and climb around in your shrubs so you want to feel that they aren't scoping your joint to rob it and they really want to know that Fido will be locked in the house when you say he is. Once everyone is in agreement, they pop by, do the spraying in about 15 minutes, and are on their merry way. Most of the time, we're not even home when they stop by and they just leave a notice hanging on the front door to let us know they've been 'round.
But that magical day, fate was in my favor. Jen and I were celebrating our 8
th
wedding anniversary with a nice night out for an expensive dinner and a theater show downtown. We'd both taken off work early to be home with plenty of time to clean up and get dressed up for the night. I'd already showered and was getting dressed when Jen got home. "Hey babe," she called, "sorry I'm lateโstupid work held me up."
I stepped out from the master closet, boxers in hand, "No problem," I called, "I've already showered and was quick about it so there's plenty of hot water for you."
She came into the master bedroom, tossing her suit jacket on the back of the chair. She looked so hot in the power suits she'd started wearing to work that I wished she hadn't already taken off the jacket. How do guys work with her all day and not fanaticize about what's under that tailored fabric? "Thanks babe, ooo! Nice look!" she said, reaching out to grab at me.
I dodged out of the way, "You're gonna make us late!"
"Mmmm, dinner's THAT important to you, huh?" she cooed. She slipped past me and took off her shoes. "Fine, I'll hop in the shower and get moving. My hair look okay?" She unclipped her shoulder-length brunette hair from its workday updo.
"You look amazing, as always," I said and stepped into my boxers.
"Mmm, hmmm, of course I do," she said, slipping her slacks off. Her butt looked great in the pale pink panties she had on...but even better as she peeled those off and tossed them in the laundry hamper. I loved the way it made a crisp crease between the underside of her cheeks and the tops of those long legs. Being a bit of a neat freak, she actually chose to keep herself shavedโanother area I had lucked out on. She reached for a hanger and as her blouse slid up, my eyes slid to her crotchโin need of a touch up but sexy with a scruffy little stubble outlining her full lips and the curve of her mound. She started talking about her day at work and I nodded and hmmmed as appropriate but mostly I was now enjoying watching her unbutton her blouse, hang it, lift the silky camisole underneath up and over her head, her breasts lifting up and pushing against the top of the cups of her matching pale pink bra. If only I could watch in slow motion. Watch as the muscles rippled and her breasts settled back into the cups as her arms came down, then thrust forward, welling over the rim of the cups as she reached behind her back to unclasp the bra and then finally softening as she slipped the bra down her arms. I pinched a nipple, dusty-rose and plump like a little gumdrop. It hardened and she slapped my hand awayโ"Ah ah ah!" she scolded, "We'll be late for dinner, remember?"
The doorbell rang. "Really?" she said, "Doesn't it seem like the solicitors have been at it a lot lately? I thought this was a gated community."
"Yeah, it was the solar-sales guys yesterday and some Mormons a few days before that," I said, reaching for a pair of pants. "I'll get it."
"No, leave it. Every time you answer the door it just encourages them."
