Throughout the past two years, up until a few months ago, my wife's monthly cycle has been all over the place and has made for a difficult menopause. She's 54 so it's to be expected. She refused HRT and stoically decided to let nature take its course. It made us grab the opportunities for sex whenever we could but we still had to contend with the unwanted surprise of bloody sheets on many occasions. I got used to it, but my wife found it limited her readiness to really let go and enjoy herself and in general her libido was much lower. Nevertheless we enjoyed sex when we could.
Then, six months ago her periods stopped completely and we made up for lost time in bed and had a very active summer and autumn. Just before Christmas she had a period again and our hearts sank, thinking we were back to square one. This time it just took a week, like the old days, and as soon as it finished she was instantly horny as hell, again just like the old days. This was the best Christmas present we could have had and as a result we've been like rabbits the past two weeks of our Christmas holiday.
The first week of the Christmas period we were home, and joined by our grown-up daughter. We've got used to being empty nesters and the freedom to enjoy sex where and when we wish, so I expected my wife to be quite restrained compared to when we're on our own in the house. For the first few days she tried to keep quiet during sex but being off work we soon established a holiday-sex routine, fucking ourselves silly early in the mornings and again at night, and as the week progressed she couldn't keep a lid on it and got noisier. I find it almost impossible to keep quiet and she soon gave up trying to 'shush' me. By the end of the first week I was thrilled when my wife told me it was the best Christmas she could remember since our first one together, in 1987.
We recalled what that had been like, our first married Christmas. We'd told our families we were spending the day on our own at home. My wife was terribly excited; she woke me very early on Christmas morning, snuggled up and grasped my morning erection, then begged for her presents. She loved it when I rolled her onto her back and entered her easily, she was sopping wet. I told her she'd have to be a good girl before seeing if Santa had come and she giggled and asked if I really meant she had to be a bad girl. She was very supple in those days and soon had her feet on my shoulders as I gave her a deep hard pounding. We lived in a terraced cottage back then and I remember we could hear the small children shrieking next door as they opened their presents (it was probably no later than 7am) while we fucked noisily. My wife reminded me that we spent the morning in bed alternately fucking and opening presents.
We had a nice easy meal for lunch and I remember as clear as if it was yesterday that my wife came and sat on my lap after we'd finished eating and snogged me wetly. In those days this was a regular occurrence at Sunday lunch and her way of telling me she wanted to go to bed for dessert. In our early years of marriage, pre-children, we used to refer to our Sunday afternoons as "laboratory time", as that was when we'd experiment sexually. Sounds daft saying it now but we liked to try new things in natural light and with the thrill of daytime sex to excite us. Nowadays, older and wiser, we happily go to bed any afternoon we can.
In those early days of our life together, we were still learning the joy of sex and with my wife coming from a very straight-laced family, any sexual instinct she had was completely repressed by her upbringing. So we found Sunday afternoons perfect, the neighbours would often be out with their young families so my wife could be totally uninhibited and be comfortable with the noise we'd both make. We'd try new positions, she'd sometimes wear some lingerie I'd bought her, and we slowly learned our craft together.
Back to this Christmas and I reminded my wife that in 1987 she'd straddled my lap and ground her crotch against me at the lunch table on Christmas Day, she'd looked at me wide-eyed at the time as I'd lifted her soft jumper and expected to find her braless, as she invariably was in those days. She'd enjoyed seeing my delight when I discovered she was wearing the lacy white bra and pants set I'd given her that first Christmas. She asked me if I wanted to see her wearing the suspender belt and stockings as well, in which case I had to take her upstairs and give her a "good seeing-to" as she put it.
We'd only left the bedroom an hour earlier and there we were fucking ourselves senseless again. Once she'd recovered she went to the bathroom and came back wearing the full set of lingerie, all in white, with sheer pale blue stockings and her wedding heels. I was all over her, I persuaded her onto her knees on the edge of the bed, pulled her panties to one side and entered her slickly. Seeing her in her Christmas lingerie, taking her from behind and hearing her pleading to be penetrated deeper, all made for a wonderful first Christmas. We spent the rest of the day in our bathrobes eating chocolate to get our energy back. Boxing Day we had our parents with us so had to behave but then the rest of the Christmas holiday was spent having sex. It was the first time since our honeymoon that we'd been able to have daytime sex day after day.
Back to 2013 and we were in bed on Christmas Day morning, enjoying an early morning fuck and hearing the little girl next door to us all excited that Santa had been. As we fucked we relived that Christmas all those years ago. My wife put some nice things on for Christmas Day as she usually does, but went braless, so I could hold her bare breasts whenever we had a moment on our own. I found that all over Christmas she wanted to be held and cuddled and generally petted. When we retired to bed at night she wanted sex, and then again in the morning - lots of it then. I took to using a small amount of Cialis so I could keep up with her. Being off work and being able to start each day with some morning delight was good for us both and it was lovely to hear her say how much it reminded her of our first Christmas.
The second week of the Christmas holiday period we took our motorhome to the coast for a few days, we must have been mad given the severe gales but we had a lot of fun and enjoyed some bracing coastwalks. On several mornings it was just too wet to go out so we stayed in bed and enjoyed our own wetness. My wife gets very uninhibited in the van and her dirty talk developed wonderfully last week. I've always been vocal during sex and until very recently she would tell me to shut up and concentrate on the job, or snog my face off to keep me quiet. But now she's starting to join in and last week she went as far as asking me to describe the feeling as I entered her, and what sensations I had as I slid in and out of her vagina. In turn she described the feel of my cock hitting her cervix and how she loves feeling stretched around the base of my cock. She's become quite demanding in her own way, not to the extent that some cock-sluts are that I've met, but I love the change in her. She's no longer passive, she tells me exactly what she wants me to do - "deeper", "harder", "slower", "just like that", "keep doing that", "fuck me". She no longer whispers "fuck", she now says it at normal volume and looks at me when she says it too.
It seemed like my wife was dripping permanently and not just from the rain. We were having a late lunch in a cafe last Monday after a morning walk, sat next to each other in a quiet corner, when she snuggled up to me and whispered that she could feel my cum leaking into her pants. She squirmed in her seat and pulled me in for a snog, murmured that she could smell my semen on her and squeezed the lump in my walking trousers. We paid the bill and made the walk back to the campsite in record time, got into the van, made the bed and I had the pleasure of pulling off her trousers and discovering her very messy panties. We were so desperate we didn't even close the curtains around the cab, but we were the only people using the campsite. I pushed up her top and started to nuzzle her breasts with my mouth, loving her aroused nipples, her areolae get so crinkly and swollen when she's aroused but she quite forcefully pushed my head down towards her crotch.
