When my wife Melissa stepped out of the shower on Tuesday morning, she was so startled to see me standing there that she nearly fell backwards into the tub.
"Jesus! What are you doing here?" she yelled, grabbing a towel from the rack and quickly wrapping up. She scowled at me. "You quit your new job already?"
Before the towel had covered her I managed a quick glimpse of her pussy, shaved completely clean, something she had never done before. Honestly, in our ten years of marriage she had hardly even trimmed down there, so it was quite a shock to see that part of her body bald and smooth like that. It looked so good to me, so tempting and delicious, still dripping wet from the shower, that I couldn't think to answer her question and just gawked at her wet thighs and the little slice of her pussy peeking out from under the shadow of the towel. I was startled by it; totally excited and dumbfounded all at once.
After a moment I stammered, "When did you?... Why'd you do that? Not complaining. Just..."
She slipped past me into our bedroom, still scowling.
My wife and I are in our mid thirties. She is half Japanese and half Caucasian, four foot nine, and thin, but with strong hips and a sweet, round ass. Her face shows her Japanese side very well - innocent and young to the point that she still gets mistaken for a teenager at times and always gets carded when we go out. It is delicately rounded, with thin lips framing her small mouth and dark brown, almond shaped eyes - very Japanese - and a soft bubble nose. Her skin is beautifully cream colored, except for freckles on her cheeks and shoulders that really come out in the sun. Her red-auburn hair, part of her Caucasian side, like the freckles, hangs straight, just past her shoulders. She has the most sumptuous and supple little breasts, like sucking on soft serve vanilla ice cream- just a little more than a generous mouthful, topped by pink, silk-soft nipples that stiffen like raspberries and flush red when they're sucked on or flicked by a tongue. Her pussy is thin and tight, nearly hidden up under her pelvis, which really made her look like a doll in that instant, with all the hair gone. When she gets excited however, her pussy lips plump out swollen and rosy, and the little nub of her clitoris pops out like a button. My favorite thing in life is to get that little button in my mouth and suck and lick it madly while Mel grinds into my face and moans and whimpers. I could do it for hours if she would let me, and I wanted it so badly now.
Unfortunately for me, we had been fighting... a lot. Not a little fly-by-night kind of spat that looses its fury and gets forgotten as the days pass, but a
barely speaking
,
avoiding each other
, and
definitely not fucking
for months type of fight that showed little prospect of being resolved any time too soon.
I had left my high paying job in finance to follow my dream of being a writer. After years of being miserable in my career, one night, working extra late on a meaningless project for a boss I hated, I just snapped. I dropped what I was doing, cleaned out my desk then and there, left a note on the boss' door telling him off, and didn't look back or return his calls. It was that easy to do at the moment and I felt a tremendous sense of freedom and a renewed excitement about my life.
The problem was that I did it spur-of-the-moment without consulting my wife first. Which, aside from the lost income, was the crux of the fight. We were supposed to be partners, a team she would say. I understand that now, but at the time I was just trying to escape my own misery.
She was pissed when I told her I had quit like I did and was still pissed several months later. Now I was working a night shift at a sorting warehouse just to make ends meet while I tried to finish my first novel, writing as much as possible during the day. Mel had begun working longer hours to make up some of the missing income and was always gone when I got home in the morning and vice versa. We hadn't seen enough of each other to really talk it out, but I could tell she thought less of me now, which is what really hurt about the whole thing.
I followed her from the bathroom into our bedroom.
"A septic pipe broke under the slab and the whole warehouse stunk of sewage so we all got to go home early... Why'd you shave down there? For me, I hope?"
She kept her back to me while she picked an outfit from the closet. She was clutching her towel tightly, like she didn't want me to see her body. "After we run at lunch I shower in the gym and all the other women are either shaved, or waxed, or trimmed or whatever. It's embarrassing to be the only one there that's totally hairy down there. That's all. That's why I did it."
I moved to her as she got her socks and panties from the dresser and put my arm around her waist. "Well, I like it..."
She moved away from me, still clutching her towel tightly and carrying her clothes in the other hand. "I'm running late. I didn't do it for you." She went into the bathroom and shut the door hard. I heard the lock click.
Later that morning I was sitting staring at my computer, reading and re-reading a bunch of words I had written but couldn't seem to focus on. My cock had been semi-hard since the encounter with my wife earlier and I was debating jerking off so I could concentrate on my book. But the image of my wife's shaved pussy just kept circling back to the front of my mind, if it ever left, and I really wanted that moist little shaved piece of heaven - not some cheap porn and my hand. Still, my cock just kept swelling up and I couldn't think about much else, so...
Just then the phone rang. It was my sister Liz. I debated answering it but knew she'd just keep calling if I didn't. My sister is a family and marriage counselor with her own practice and she is always giving me whatever new advice the lecture circuit had bestowed upon her that month.
I picked up. "Hey Liz. How's everything going?"
"Good. Very good." She paused, then said with a heaping of pity, "How's
everything with you?"
I sighed under my breath. "I'm fine Liz, thanks for checking on me."
"How are you and Mel doing? Any better?"
I knew where this was going, but at the least it was keeping my mind off my cock for the moment. "It's the same. We don't see each other enough to have a good talk, you know? And she's still just so mad, like I totally betrayed her or something. I didn't know following my dream would do so much damage to us, you know? I thought she'd be more supportive."
My sister gave a sigh of understanding. "I get it. I do. Marriage is tough work. It takes a lot of communication and a good bit of empathy, you know what I mean?" She changed her tone from sympathy to solution. "You know what you need?" She paused. I knew I was supposed to give her permission to give me the advice she already had ready for me when she called.
"What's that?" I said.
"You guys need a relationship reset event. Do you know what that is?" She didn't wait for me to answer. "A big sweeping gesture of your love for Mel that gives you a fresh opening to communicate. You know what I mean? Something that breaks up the monotony, gives you both an excuse to laugh and reconnect. Do something that she doesn't expect and creates sort of a reset opportunity for you guys."
