Interestingly enough our story starts like so many others. Married for for 12 years, busy with kids and work and as a result neglecting each other. Sex certainly was not non-existent but at the same time predictable....and safe.
Even a relationship with a woman as beautiful as Teresa can grow routine and with routine passion can die.
During the years we have been together Teresa and I have had what I could only describe as a fairly conservative sexual relationship.
At times the unexpected would occur and memories of these encounters would fuel my lust for her.
Seldom would we discuss these exceptional encounters that mostly occurred when alcohol had been involved. When sober and returning to our normal lives it was always the unspoken rule that these things need not be discussed.
I believe our 12 year anniversary was key to what transpired over the next year. The anniversary was spent as typically as one could imagine. Good clothes, nice restaurant, wine with dinner and 30 minutes of love making upon returning home.
The following day my thoughts were consumed with what our relationship was, what it had evolved from and what it would be like in 5, 10 even 20 years. By the time my head hit the pillow that evening I had resolved to find more excitement and adventure in our relationship.
Resolving to change was the simple step. Determining what would be a positive to our relationship took careful study and consideration.
As I said before, my wife Teresa is a beautiful woman. At 40 with three kids she could still pass for 25. Her flowing brown hair frames a smooth face highlighted by exceptional hazel eyes. Teresa works hard eating right and exercising to maintain a very attractive figure that is highlighted by her naturally perfect C cup chest. Her looks are complimented by a wonderful personality. Teresa exudes friendliness to everyone around her. It is simple to see how attracted everyone is to not only her looks but her personality.
Although so many envy Teresa's physical assets, she has never seen herself through the eyes of others.
After many years of marriage she remains hesitant to display her body and is often skeptical of my compliments of her beauty, particularly of her body. Her inclination to hide herself is something I have become accustomed to typically don't push her on the issue.
Occasionally she will allow me her nudity but after often reminds me of how uncomfortable she becomes. After a few glasses of wine and faded inhibitions, Teresa will be much more open and willing to share herself with me. These moments are what fill my mind when the lights are off and our bodies hidden in darkness.
I began to view my intentions as a plan to evolve our sexuality. I wanted to free my wife from the inhibitions that keep her from giving herself completely. To that end, I knew I had to create a comfort level with her nakedness.
My efforts began by suggesting she let me take some digital pictures of her. This wasn't the first time I had broached the subject but this time was different. I wasn't making a random suggestion. I was convincing her.
As before she initially tried to laugh off my request, wondering out loud why I would want pictures of that. After my 4th "suggestion" in two weeks she actually acknowledged she would consider it if she lost a few of those pounds she didn't want to show off.
I think Teresa believed this answer would put the request off until some time in the future and she could just laugh it off again at that time. For me her answer was a door opening and I quickly pushed through.
Days after her comment I broached the subject again. This time however, I let her know that we had a couple months for her to lose the weight she was worried about as we had a picture session scheduled for Saturday July 19th at 11:00 p.m. Teresa was at a loss for words. Finally, following an awkward moment of silence she laughed and said we'll see.
Over the next month I made a point of mentioning the date every few days. I was never pushy and often just brought it up in general conversation and talked about how much I was looking forward to the 19th.
Teresa's reactions were mixed. Sometimes I was ignored, sometimes my comments drew laughter and sometimes her comments were skeptical about us following through. No matter her reaction I was careful to never react and to always approach the situation like it was a complete certainty that we had a pending on July 19th.
I noticed our appointment became real to Teresa as June turned to July. With 19 days remaining I noticed that Teresa's workouts increased from 3 to 5 days per week. She still refused to acknowledge a commitment but I could see she was preparing herself, physically and mentally.
On the Monday before the 19th I brought a surprise home. Teresa found it as she went to bed that night. Laid out across our comforter was a black skirt and white sleeveless blouse. Complimenting the outfit was a silky push up bra from Victoria Secrets and a matching pair of thong panties. A pair of 3" heels laid on the floor in front of the bed. Laying on top of the blouse was my note to Teresa.
Teresa,
