She had just finished putting the baby to bed when she sat down on the couch, tired from a long, hectic day.
He was also on the couch, scrolling through the news on his phone. She said, "I think I'm going to go take a bath and relax for a bit."
He didn't even look up, so she gets up and heads to the bathroom. She knows precisely where to turn to faucet so that it will be just this side of too hot.
She adds some milk bath bubbles to the stream of water and watches the suds start forming.
She walks back over to the mirror as she begins to undress. She watches herself critically, observing how her body looks and moves at 6 months postpartum.
She had always been a bigger girl, never having much confidence. It was worse now that breastfeeding gave her such a voracious appetite for absolute junk.
Her breasts are lovely though, a milky 40D. Below them is a generously soft belly, followed by thick, heavy thighs.
She likes to think her interesting face makes up for her less-than-socially-acceptable body, but even then, her brows are too heavy and her nose...too Italian.
Her eyes are a perfectly nice hazel, but she knows it's her hair that is her best feature. It's long, dark brown and thick.
Staring at herself in the mirror while the water runs, all she can do is come down on herself. It doesn't matter that she is witty, intelligent, adept at cooking, and knows all the lyrics to any song on the radio.
The fact is, her husband never pays her any attention. Which is depressing as hell, because he's the best sex she's ever had.
She puts her hair in a messy bun on top of her head and steps in the bath. It's near scalding, but just what she wants.
She lays there for as long as she can stand it, sweat dampening her hairline. The bubbles have all but disappeared now, and she looks down at her heavy tits. She squeezes one nipple, and watches as the milk drips down and mixes in with the water.
She pulls the drain and stands up to dry herself off. Just then, the door opens and her husband is standing there.

He knew what she wanted. She had explained herself clear as day, how she needed to feel wanted and desired. Of course he desired her, she was beautiful, sensual, had a perfect ass and wildly uninhibited in the bedroom.
He just did a really shitty job of showing her how much and how often he desired her.
It is very uncomfortable for him to flirt in that way. Tonight, when she sat down, she acted tired. He was busy looking at articles on how to show your wife you find her attractive.
