This is my second submission to the 750 Word Project. I had so much fun writing the first, I decided to submit another one. This story does not involve cheating, but it does delve into the safe sexual routines found inside healthy marriages.

Rachel flicked the bathroom light and reached for some tissues. The ritual was as old as her 10-year marriage - sex followed by a quick kiss and then a dash to the bathroom to clean up.
She smiled as her eyes adjusted to the light. Well that was different, she thought. Rather than the usual kissing, pajama shedding, token breast play, mutual hand stimulation, all leading to sex, she had given her husband a blow job.
It was, of course, not the first time, she thought as she wiped some of his remnants from between her fingers, but it would also not be accurate to say blow jobs were common. She was actually the recipient of more oral stimulation than he was. Although she never asked, she guessed his more frequent extracurricular attention boiled down to the fact that he always had an orgasm with straight sex, and she didn't, and it was his way of trying to even the score.
Whatever his reasons she didn't complain, but she also didn't reciprocate.
