Big thanks to AJ for helping me create this piece.
Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
"Better than I expected" remarked Stu as the car pulls from the parking spot. Vivian nods. "Good burgers, good wings, pretty good beer special."
"Don't have to pick up the kids tomorrow afternoon" he says his hand wandering to her thigh as they make their way home. Her hand covers his as he gives her inner thigh a firm squeeze. Their easy, smooth conversation punctuated by little touches and grabs.
They know each other intimately and the motions are practiced but with no less love and passion.
"Oooo we should break out the game" Stu suggests with a broad smile. The gentle buzz of the beers convincing Vivian to nod in agreement "We could break out the game."
Pulling into the driveway they kiss and linger before climbing out of the car and making their way into the house.
The beers slid into the fridge and the bottle of peach wine was pulled out. No kids tonight and they fully intended to enjoy every moment of it.
Vivian's arms wrap around his waist as she dots his neck with a single kiss. He leans back into her - enjoying her touch.
The beers from the bar doing their work as the tasty dinner settles in their stomachs the buzz causing a pleasant tingle and emoldening Vivian. Her hands playfully wander to give his ass a squeeze while he makes busy with their new drinks.
Ice cubes clink into stemless glasses before a sweet, crisp wine is poured over them. Hands wander with the slow and loving touch appreciating each other.
She rinses some grapes and puts them into bowl. A black nondescript box sits on the coffee table, open and ready.
Taking the two glasses, Stu moves to the living room. Pausing to understand what didnt feel right, he sets the glasses down gentle on the smooth brown wood. He realizes the room is to bright for what they have planned leaving to fetch a softer light bulb to replace the bright one in the room. He closes the curtains.
Meanwhile, she is busy with the remote trying to find some music to suit their mood. Smooth R&B starts to play her eyes wander over her husband's familiar body as she pulls him in for a quick kiss, trapping his lower lip in a nibble, he smiles.
Stu likes where this is going. Married for nearly six years, these moments are becoming less frequent with the kids around but the moments themselves always turn into nights long remembered.
He reaches into the box and starts to set up the boardgame. Placing their pieces ready to start. He hands his wife the dice "Age before beauty." a Cheshire grin leveled as her eyes roll over the rim of the wine glass as she sips. They had played this game a few times over the years and each time was always a thrill.
With each turn around the board the game switches to more and more erotic cards. The temperature turning up between them as the board is an isntrument of the foreplay. Some squares demands articles of clothing be sacrificed under the gaze of their partner while others require finding seductive and creative ways of feeding the previously gather grapes to each other.
They didn't need the game but it always pushed Vivian out of her comfort zone a little. It helped to slowed down their foreplay - teasing them both until they couldn't bear the suspense any longer. A nice break from the hurried sex that was squeezed in before a kid knocks on your door at night because they had a bad dream.
She rolls the dice and ends up landing her piece on a "drink" square. They clink their glasses and sip the wine, smiling as the music in the room draws them deeper into the moment. Dice are rolled again, socks are sacrificed to the boardgame until eventually a passion card appears.
Vivian had always adored Stu's deep voice as he reads from the cards. She bites her lip as she is reminded of how it whispers in her ear... "Martial aids are no longer taboo" it reads "name a toy that you and your partner would like to use in the bedroom?"
They both chuckle and discuss the "martial aids" they already owned. "Well, we did talk about that pretty jewelled plug that we saw in the email. Maybe that's our next purchase." He says with a mischievous glint in his eye.
She nods her head "Maybe I would like to try it, my girlfriend says it makes her feel so much tighter."
He grips her thigh and nibbles her neck affectionately as the game continues.
A few more articles of clothing are lost by both with Stu at rather a disadvantage in just his boxer briefs while Vivian is only down her socks and sweater.
On their next lap around the board the questions jump to Steamy. Stu lands on a massage square and, instead of his back or neck, the game requires his thighs be the focus. Vivian's hands work his legs brushing against the strained black cotton of his boxer briefs and his breath catches.
"God she is sexy," his eyes watch her hands. She finishes the short rub prescribed by the game and rolls the dice.
The temperature increases, the new questions more direct and their instructions more explicit.
