Denise stood in the kitchen, her withered fingers wrapped around a Benson & Hedges cigarette, slowly bringing it to her dry, cracked lips and inhaling the thick, heavy smoke into her chest. Holding her breath for a moment, she let the smoke dance around the alveolar sacs in her lungs, before gently exhaling a cascade of grey air onto her Primark woolen sweater-dress.
She knew her husband, Keith, would be home soon. And so she had positioned herself in the kitchen, pretending to be busy fixing tea, when really she was waiting for him to come home from work so that she might begin to seduce him. For even though Denise turned 60 just last month, the fire in her loins burnt with an intensity of a woman half her age.
Denise had long had a high sexual appetite. Indeed, it was not uncommon for her to be vacuuming the shag carpet in the living room whilst keeping half an eye on Cash In The Attic one minute, only to be suddenly overcome with lust and find herself panting on the sofa with her fingers buried deep within her puss the next, her body writhing and contorting to the fantasies of being ploughed by David Dickinson.
Just then, she heard a key turn in the door.
She could just make out the silhouette of Keith's bulbous little body through the frosted glass panes of the door frame. She could not yet see all the little details; his balding hairline, his always-stained clothing, the flabby jowls underneath his protracted chin. She yearned to drink them in and, underneath her sweater dress, she felt her wanton vagina twinge in anticipation.
Keith walked through the door in an unceremonious fashion, dumping his bag of tools on the floor and kicking off his sweaty workman boots to reveal his threadbare socks. He hung his hi-vis jacket on a clothes peg in the hallway especially reserved for him, and proceeded to trudge into the living room.
