The bright flame of love and romance, often shown during the early years of their marriage, had dimmed over the recent years. Now it was only a flickering light sometimes or even a glowing ember, but there where some occasional sparks. The couple were similar to many other couples: two children in grade school and one pre-school, driving the kids to various activities, two jobs, a home mortgage, limited job opportunities where their skills existed, laid off / down-sizing company, future college expenses, many monthly bills, and taxes to pay, etc.
Where once a few words or the showing of some skin brought each a feeling of sexual excitement, followed by mutual touching and intercourse; now there was little response. Once the bathroom was shared just before going to bed to intimately know each other, now the couple where seldom in the bathroom at the same time. Instead of 'doing it' daily or every other day, now it was like a couple of times each month when they joined together to become like one. The couple still slept in the same king size bed, but only met a few times monthly in the center of the bed for quick sex -- 'wham, slam, thank you' -- and rolled over to their side of the bed for a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Yes, the bright flame of love and romance had gradually dimmed because of the many pressures of daily living and raising a family. However, the family had a wise Grandmother and Grandfather who observed the problems and insisted that they would take care of the children for an extended weekend so the couple -- Deborah and Daniel -- could have a relaxing carefree time at a secluded resort on the Pacific Coast. The gift of money to pay for the resort trip, selected by Deborah's parents, and some money for the home mortgage were certainly welcome.
WEDNESDAY
In the afternoon, Debby and Dan were individually busy packing for the trip. She had street clothes, shorts, and a swim suit. Plus a variety of revealing bedroom lingerie that took a long time to find in a box placed in the back of a bedroom closet -- while old, it still fit and was revealing. He had street clothes, shorts, swim suit, digital camera , and tripod. Plus a variety of adult toys, lubricants, and sex educational material he finally found in a dust covered box in his basement workroom.
Debby watched her television soap programs that she had recorded. Don put gasoline into the car and stopped at a large drug store to purchase some wine and current dated personal items. At last, the car was packed with the suitcases and bags; as the sun was setting the grandparents arrived. The adults and children greeted the grandparent, minutes later all went to a family restaurant for the evening meal. Back home, the children went to bed later than normal; the four adults talked briefly before the grandparents went to bed. Later, Debby and Dan went to bed. Soon, each was sound asleep on their own side of the king size bed.
An Extended Weekend 2 of 21
THURSDAY
The drive to the Pacific Coast Resort took Debby & Dan about four hours, including several quick stops. He drove the entire distance and was somewhat tired when the couple checked in and located their two room suite in the early afternoon. Dan laid down on the bed and had an afternoon nap. Debby watched some afternoon television soap programs.
When Dan woke up it was late afternoon and said: "Would you like to take a swim in one of the resort's pools?"
Debby replied, "No. I do not want to get my hair wet and the ocean breeze is too cold."
"Well I am going to swim. Be back in an hour or so. Than we can get something to eat."
After changing into his swim suit, he had a refreshing swim in the large resort pool. Than sat down near the pool with a bottle of beer. While the sun would be setting in about an hour, the pool area was still being enjoyed by a number of men and women. Through his sunglasses, Dan looked at several women wearing little strips of cloth that were called two piece bathing suits. They were in the company of men -- Dan could only enjoy the view and think about the possibilities if he was single. The view was one of lots of female skin showing or a view of watching the sun set over the ocean and the changing color of the clouds. Dan did both, but one somewhat more than the other.
His spouse was still watching television when Dan returned to the suite. Clothing was changed and the couple went to one of the resort's restaurant and had an excellent meal.
Walking back, Dan suggested, "Possibly we could make love when we get back to the suite?"
Debby responded, "I am concerned about the kids and how my Mother and Father are managing."
"You could telephone them," stated Dan.
Once back to the suite, a telephone call was made -- it lasted about one hour. Dan watched television, read a magazine, and then got ready for bed. While she was talking on the phone, Dan gave her a hug and a written note suggesting that they make love.
Finally, Debby came into the bedroom, changed into a long flannel night gown and got ready for bed.
An Extended Weekend 3
Debby said, "Things are OK are home. But I have a headache and would prefer not to have sex tonight."
Dan thought to himself that the secluded resort had not yet worked its seductive charm on his spouse.
But he had some hope and asked, "How about a quickie?"
Debby responded. "I have a headache and I am too tired to make love. But if you insist I will spread may legs and you can just enter me. I really do not want to participate ---as I recall we had sex last week."
Dan just laid on his side of the king size bed without speaking for a period of time.
Than he only asked, "Possibly tomorrow?"
But Debby was already asleep or possibly pretending to be sleeping. Dan went to the bathroom and put some baby oil on his constant companion. After several minutes of rubbing his manhood, it started growing. The head and shaft were rubbed faster, at last he ejaculated on to a towel. Relieved, Dan went back to bed. Debby was sound asleep.
FRIDAY
Dan got up early and went for a walk on the resort property, the sun was just coming up as he returned to the suite. Debby was up and dressing for breakfast. After eating, the couple walked down to the cliff, sat in a double chair and watched the ocean waves come crashing onto the beach. Some people where already walking on the beach or just looking at the marine life in the tide pools. Later in the morning, they played some tennis and used the resort exercise equipment.
After a light lunch was eaten, Dan asked, "would you like to join me in a swim? The resort has three pools -- one inside and two outside plus a hot tub and sauna room."
