The marriage started out great in the sex department, but a few years in, things began a profound change. What had been great sex several times per week, turned into boring mechanical exercises once or twice a month. I blame life. It got hectic. Two kids, two working parents. On top of my work hours, I had a long commute. Nora's job was local but she was constantly stressed. By the time she got home at four and I got home at six we were both exhausted.
The weekends were better at first. For one thing the kids, hers by a first marriage, were off visiting their dad. That left us time alone but even our time alone had become tense. I was missing the intimacy of regular sex. The less of it there was, the more distant I became. Perhaps it was relationship inexperience on my part, but without the regular sex, it was hard for me to be the supportive husband that could meet Nora's high emotional needs. We'd had some marriage counseling, but it didn't seem to help. She grew colder. I grew more sullen.
Nora was 35, I was 30. I thought women of her age were just arriving at the peak of desire. With Nora, that didn't seem to be the case. Things got bad enough for her, that she was starting to talk about divorce. I saw little hope of saving the situation. She sought the help a psychiatrist to help her make the decision. I could see the handwriting on the wall and withdrew further into my shell.
One complication for her during this time was that she was battling both depression and insomnia. She often came to bed at eleven and was up again by twelve, staying up until two or three in the morning, restless and alone with her own demons. If I tried to comfort her with an arm around her shoulder, she would see it as me pressuring her for sex and she'd pull away. I stopped bothering and, more importantly, we stopped talking.
To try to break the cycle, the doctor prescribed sleeping pills for Nora. She didn't want to take them because she has a history of sensitivity to medications. One night, when things were particularly bad, she was desperate enough to give them a try. It ended up making all the difference. Forty minutes after taking her pill for the first time, she was in bed, sleeping as soundly as she had in her life. I lay beside her, listening to her regular breathing and I soon rolled onto my side, put my arm around her and cuddled into her backside. She was too soundly asleep to pull away. We both slept well through the night.
The second night started out the same. Nora fell soundly asleep on her left side. I snuggled up behind her and put an arm over her, this time with my right hand just under her breast. Nora has beautiful tits, 36-Ds with thick hypersensitive nipples. When we were having sex regularly I would caress, tease and suck those nipples until she practically begged for my cock. Often she rewarded me by taking my dick in her mouth before begging me to fuck her. How I longed for those times. I let my hand wander and brushed by thumb lightly over her nightgown, seeking one of those incredible nipples. As I gently rubbed, I could feel the nipple grow and harden.
I was careful not to do too much, afraid I would wake her and I knew if I did that she would be pissed. After a few minutes I moved my hand away but by then my cock was stirring in my boxers. I thought I would have to go out onto the couch to relieve myself. It wouldn't be the first time. Instead, I checked to see that Nora was still sleeping soundly. She seemed to be and I pressed my growing erection to her elegant ass. Again, no change in my sleeping wife. I was emboldened so I pressed myself more tightly to her and slowly began moving my dick up and down her ass over the silky fabric of her nightgown. In a few minutes my cock was stiff and aching for more friction. Up one one elbow so I could watch Nora's face, I took my cock in hand and rubbed the tip up and down over the crack of her ass. I got a rhythm going and I was starting to worry that my hard breathing would disturb her sleep. It didn't and I began stoking in earnest, suddenly realizing that I was about to spew out a pint of cum and make a terrible mess. I backed off and continued with just my hand, spraying most of my load into my hand, with just a little on the sheets and on Nora's night gown. After cleaning up with a couple of tissues, I rolled onto my back and went soundly to sleep.
The following morning I was up early. I had my shower and was making some breakfast for Nora, the kids and me. Nora came into the kitchen in her bath robe to see what I was doing. I told her to sit down at the table.
"What's the occasion," she asked? "You never have time for breakfast."
"Nothing special," I said. "I noticed you seem to be sleeping better and I know you were afraid the pills would leave you groggy so I decided to be late to work and make a good breakfast for you and the girls. Just enjoy it together and I'll see you tonight."
Nora thanked me and, before I left, I put my hands on her shoulders and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
