Author's Note - Welcome to my first full-length novel for Literotica. This story has tie-ins to my previous works "The Contest" and "Mated for Life", but they are not required reading for Nylon Conquest. Hope you enjoy.

After the operation, my doctor ordered a full week of bedrest. Thankfully I didn't have to use a bed pan - that was the sole exception to my sentence of immobility. But even so I need a wheelchair just to manage the twenty feet or so to the bathroom.
I'd had a minor paralysis in my right leg. The doctors told me that without an operation, it would be progressive. Walking would become difficult, and by age 40 I could be in a wheelchair. Permanently. So the operation was a no-brainer and I was equally committed to following my doctors' orders to the letter. In particular, I can only bend my legs a little at the waist. I'm really not even supposed to bend my knees much. So I'm mostly stuck.
I had prepared well for the ordeal of my recovery. I'd ordered a special bed, lower than my normal king size. The mattress was level with the seat of my wheelchair to make everything as easy as possible. I could swing my legs over the side of the bed and ease myself into the chair. But that was it. No exceptions. My future mobility demanded it.
The TV remote is on the bed table. I can control the lights and air conditioning with my phone. There are snacks and MRE's close by. Ditto towels, water, and facecloths. I'm set. One week to go.
One thing though. A side effect from the operation I'd never expected. A side effect the doctors never warned me about. I wish they had, but I guess it wouldn't have made a difference in my decision to go ahead. But had they known about it, I might have been able to prepare.
You see, my sense of touch has been amplified. But not equally everywhere. My hands are incredibly sensitive now. Before, when I would pick up a piece of cloth material for example, I might describe it simply, like "soft", or "scratchy", or maybe "stiff".
No more. Now, when I pick up a bit of fabric, I can feel every stitch, every imperfection. Take my sheets, for example. My wife bought them for me before the operation. She said because I'm going to be lying on them (and them on me) during my recovery, that she'd get me the softest, most supple ones available. And she did. She said they were 800 thread count. I guess that's good, because when I touch them, they feel so luxuriously fine, almost chiffon-like to my fingers. I can feel the stitching, the tiny cross-hatching of the weave, the infinitesimal hairs of cotton emanating from each tiny strand.
It's uncanny. I asked my doctor about it. He had to consult a specialist, who wrote to him to say, and I quote:
"The sense of touch is mediated by mechanosensory neurons that are embedded in skin and relay signals from the periphery to the central nervous system. Usually, the effect of spinal procedures is to desensitize patients, who may feel no pain, with some examples of patients burning themselves without even realizing it until they smell their flesh. However, in extremely rare cases, particularly involving the spinal cord, the pathways from the embedded neurons in the skin can be enhanced and sensitized. Your patient appears to be an extreme example even for this phenomenon, which I can only describe as a scientific miracle. I would be honored for the opportunity to study this patient in person."
So no to that. I have no interest in being a test subject for some egghead who wants to get famous studying the remarkable me.
But how can I take advantage of this gift? Is it even a gift? It could be curse. Probably I'll get hurt a lot. I can't imagine what it'll be like if I cut my finger. I may have to wear gloves all the time. Shit.
But surely something good will come of this.
Oh. There's something I haven't mentioned yet. Partly because I'm kinda worried about it. It's not the sort of thing you talk about to just anyone. I haven't even mentioned it to my wife.
Larissa. She is a goddess. 5 foot 11, with a thick black mane hanging in loose curls to her tiny waist. Beautiful jade eyes, high cheekbones and full lips, made for kissing. Her breasts are perfect, full and round (I'm not embarrassed to say those gravity-defying size D's have probably been surgically enhanced. She's not saying, but no woman with 5% body fat can have magnificent breasts like that without a little help).
But her best feature, without a doubt, is her legs. She has the shapeliest, most gorgeous legs I have ever seen. Long, lean, muscular, and athletic. Thirty-eight inches of legs so sexy and hot they should showcase them in the Smithsonian. She puts ten hours a week in the gym working on those legs and her core. Never underestimate the power of those legs. They've paid for our apartment and a lot more. I worship them. She knows it and she loves that I do. For her birthday, I bought her a mixed case of the highest quality nylons so she'd never have to do without. She wears them eagerly and proudly. I bought her pantyhose in nude and black, dore and brown, seamed and unseamed. I bought her stockings. I found a source for vintage silk stockings too, with elaborately detailed seams and complex heel stitching. She ooohed in delight when she got those. But the most daring thing I got her was so sexy, so transfixing, that I get hard just thinking about it. I was nervous when I gave them to her, but she screamed in delight and stripped off her black holdups and pulled them on without delay. They were oil-shine sheer nude stockings with a red seam up the back. They drew the eye immediately to the greatest pair of legs in the history of humanity. And they're all mine.
The best part is she knows how sexy she is. And she flaunts it. She knows exactly the effect her legs have on men (and women as I've noticed more than a few times). I walked with Larissa into the Campbell Apartment bar at Grand Central just before my operation. At six-foot-four in shiny black 5" Louboutin's, wearing a curve-hugging cashmere minidress with at least twelve inches of thigh clad in those stockings, she silenced the whole place, with just her entrance. She loved every second of it. Obviously, so did I.
After she'd opened the packages of stockings I'd bought, she went into the kitchen and brought out a box of sandwich bags. She kneeled on the floor and sorted through the scores of nylons strewn about the room. With loving care, she opened every precious little package, carefully unwrapped its diaphanous contents, held it up to feel its silky texture, sometimes bringing one to her face for extra sensory feeling. Some she'd try on then and there, giving me a little show. Then she'd strip them off, reverently roll up each pair, and place it into its transparent bag, labelled for quick access. I watched her work, silently biding my time, waiting for her to finish so she could satisfy our building libido and wrap those luscious legs around my body and fuck me senseless.
The way she lovingly caressed each stocking, each pair of silky pantyhose, I knew. Larissa has a powerful fetish for nylon. She's mentioned it a few times. I love this about her.
