She watched him as he stood at the kitchen sink. Sitting in the living room, she gazed through the doorway as he washed the plates and stacked them in the draining rack completely unaware of her loving looks as he concentrated on the task at hand. He'd made a delightful dinner but the mood had been dampened by the stressful day she'd had at work. As she vented about this coworker being an idiot and that one being an asshole, he had merely listened attentively and encouraged her to go on with what she was feeling. Even after she had run out of steam in her disparagement of her coworkers, he had known that reliving the stresses of her job would keep her pretty wound up so he simply encouraged her to go relax in the living room while dealt with the dishes.
He was a good man and he tried his best to take care of her. She didn't know how she had gotten so lucky in finding him but she was certainly glad she did. He always said that he was the winner in the bargain but in the long run it didn't really matter. They loved each other and were as perfect together as all the old stories portrayed. She always tried to find little ways to show him how much she loved him and in various little ways he let her know that she was loved as well. During the course of her reverie she got an idea.
Rising from the couch and walking into the kitchen, she stood behind him and wrapped her arms around his sides, hugging him from behind. She knew he liked the feel of her breasts in his back. Heck, he liked the feel of her breasts anyway he could get it, back...front...or sideways. But in this case he just stood a little straighter as if trying to feel as much of her on his back as possible. She just kept her arms around him and placed her cheek between his shoulder blades.
"Are you feeling better? Less frustrated?" he asked without turning around. Despite her arms being around him his hands remained free and he continued to wash the dishes.
"Yes, that was a very nice dinner. I appreciate all that you do for me, whether I've had a tough day or not."
"Thank you" he said as reached for one of the pans in the sink. "I'm glad you liked it."
She didn't say anything but just kept her arms around him for another moment as she felt the warmth radiating from his back and the smooth play of his muscles as he moved. When she started to caress his chest he didn't say anything but she could tell he enjoyed the movement of her hands as he unconsciously pressed back against her. She slid her hands under his shirt and continued to run her fingers gently along his skin but more tenderly and with greater affection. Then she reached down and unbuckled his belt and placed her fingers down the loosened top of his jeans.
"Mmm, that's nice," he said with a touch of surprise.
From the place where her cheek still rested between his shoulder blades she jokingly said, "Usually you say 'lower'."
His voice slipped into basso profundo and he said, "OK, lower."
As if of cue, her searching fingers slipped lower into the top of his pants and finally found their way under the waistband of his underwear, grazing the top of his penis. She tickled the soft skin for a moment and then drew her hand back out.
"Tease," he said mockingly and started to turn around. She hugged him tighter so that he was unable to face her and she said with a mischievous smile, "No, don't turn around. You keep washing the dishes, I'll show you what kind of a tease I can be."
