"I told you I don't want your penis in my butt," said Emily in a scolding tone.
Justin had tried coaxing her into doing something—anything—that would liven up their sex life, but was always met with resistance. As prudish as he knew his wife to be, he never dreamed that it would be like this forever. Anal was out. Blowjobs went without question. And to get her to even touch his dick required a lot of coaxing and priming.
Emily, on the other hand, didn't need a thing. She had a loving husband who was sensitive to her needs, and met all of her sexual desires—as simple as those were. She could have an orgasm easily after a few minutes of penetration, and he always had his shortly thereafter. Nothing needed fixing. After all, it was just sex.
Justin hung his head in dejection while continuing to undress at the foot of the bed. He thought of stating his case again, as he'd done so many times in the past, but knew in his heart that it was pointless. They had walked through this issue many times over during the course of their marriage and the outcome was always the same. There was no way he was ever going to get her to loosen up when it came to sex, and no way he was ever going to make his fantasies reality.
"Aww..." she said, as she patted her hand on his pillow while laying on her side of the bed. "Don't be like that hon... Just c'mere."
Emily flashed her seductive, yet innocent eyes at him, and batted her eyelashes in her patented "Come hither" manner. No matter how hard he tried to resist, when she flashed those baby blues, he was like putty in her hands.
~o~
"Oh yeah, baby!" he shouted, as he rammed his cock in and out of Emily's tight pussy while pressing his hands firmly on the mattress below her. He could feel himself getting ready to explode as the friction on his dick intensified with each frenetic thrust. As he passed the point of no return, he cried out in ecstasy when the bubbling cauldron inside his balls boiled over and erupted powerfully into her tight canal.
He felt her vagina tighten around him and pull his load deeper into her as her breathing quickened then trailed off into barely audible, but pleasurable squeals. She turned her head to the side, and with eyes closed, pressed her face into the silky sheets that adorned the bed and muffled tiny peeps and moans into them.
Justin remained inside her as he watched her intently. They were five minutes out from their discussion and already Emily was satisfied. Her arms were by her sides and her hands were slowly clenching with each wave of pleasure that reverberated through her body. The side of her face that was exposed to his eyes bore an expression of pain, pleasure, or something in-between. He'd seen this expression before, and had been through this routine many times as her partner of five years, but he never had any idea what was going on in her head.
Was she really enjoying this?
Was she in pain?
Was she just afraid to let go?
He had started to form the words on his lips, as he had done so many times before, and was about to say them again. But before he could ask, "Are you ok?" she turned her head and looked into his eyes.
She put a palm up to his cheek and let out a sigh before saying, "That was incredible."
Damned if it was, Justin had no idea. For as long as he'd known her, Emily had always been quiet during sex. So quiet that he never knew if she was ever having a good time. She always orgasmed, that much was certain. But how much she enjoyed it? That was always a mystery in his mind.
Emily reassured him once again before he could even get the words out of his mouth. "I know what you're thinking, but yes. It was wonderful, baby."
She lifted her head up and touched his nose to hers before giving him a kiss on the lips. Justin then pulled out of her and got up off the bed. He went into the bathroom to fish for a towel then while turning the faucet on at the sink, said to her, "Can we just try doing it different, just once?"
Their sex life had been bland to say the least. There was no variation in how they did it, when they did it, or what they did. It always started with some kissing and light touching, worked into some heavy petting, then proceeded to intercourse—missionary style. Justin knew he had married a woman who was prudish, but believed that in time she would come around. He'd hoped that as she'd gotten more comfortable with him, she might let some of her inhibitions go. But as he had since learned, inhibitions are a tough nut to crack. They were ingrained in her at an early age by her Catholic parents, and then reinforced throughout her adolescent life by the teachings of her faith. He had always held out some thread of hope that she would change—let her hair down some—but that was as realistic as wishing on a star. His dream of exploring the wonders of sex and having an amazing sex life with her were fading right before his eyes, and that was a sobering thought.
"I like it this way, hon," she replied while resting on her back on the bed. "It's comfortable for me. We know what works."
"Time for bed sweetie."
Emily patted on Justin's pillow with a smile on her face as he came back into the room. He walked to his side then took his spot on the bed lying next to her. He put an arm around her, kissed her softly on her cheek, and coldly said, "Night, hon," before turning the lights out for the evening, while wondering if his sex life could get any more boring than it already was.
~o~
In the middle of the night, Justin woke to movement in the bed and a rustling of the sheets. He opened his eyes and looked at the digital clock on the nightstand.
3 a.m.
It was happening again.
Emily sat upright in the dark, remained motionless for a moment, then kicked her feet over the side of the bed. As she placed both feet on the floor, she stood up and began walking through the room. Justin hoped that she would settle before leaving the bed, thus marginally affecting his sleep, but that wasn't how this night was going to shake out.
He turned on his back then sat up as he watched the figure in the dark move towards the bedroom door, open it, and walk down the hall. He rubbed his eyes a few times before getting up groggily to follow.
He walked behind her closely but patiently, ensuring that he'd be able to catch her if she fell. Emily was fragile in every way. She was short and thin—almost tiny—with delicate features and an amazing softness to her skin. She bruised easily and sprained joins with just a hint of torqueing. She was his porcelain doll. And she was a sleepwalker.
As he started to shake off his early a.m. haze, he said to her, "Honey... You're sleepwalking again. C'mon back to bed." He put a hand on her shoulder while she continued her slow movements through the kitchen. She reached down into a cabinet and grabbed a dishtowel and a bottle of 409. Then, with eyes wide-opened and staring straight ahead, she instinctively sprayed down the countertop and began rubbing.
"Emily, you're cleaning the kitchen. It's already clean," he said while remaining by her side as she worked. "We need to go back to sleep."
Only after Emily had gone over each countertop twice did she replace the towel and cleaner, before turning off the kitchen lights and slowly walking back down the hall to the bedroom. Justin continued following her closely and said in a joking manner, "Jeez, if I'd have known you were going to clean the kitchen I'd have asked you to make me a sandwich first."
Just then, she stopped dead in her tracks, turned around, and walked back towards the kitchen. Justin shook his head in exasperation and followed once more. This time, when she reached the kitchen, she turned the light back on and went into the fridge. She took out a tray of lunchmeat, opened a loaf of bread, then went into a cabinet to retrieve a plate. To his amazement he watched. She prepared the sandwich, set it down on the plate, then placed in on the countertop before starting off once more down the hall to return to bed.
"Damn," he said under his breath after she migrated back to the bedroom. "Why didn't I think of this before?"
~o~
Two nights later, Justin got it first chance to perform an experiment on Emily. She got out of bed in the middle of the night once again, and he remained by her side throughout the trip down the hall to the kitchen. She turned on the lights and bent down to open the cabinet containing her cleaning supplies, but before she could pull the door open, Justin commanded, "Close the door and face me."
Emily did as she was told.
