Despite this being the pantomime season this is not about Cinderella. Nor is it about the kind of buttons you undo, or the chocolate ones you find in your stocking on Christmas day. It’s about the ones you press…
I have mentioned before Son’s ability to change girlfriends as the rest of us change underwear. Only the other day he received a text from a 20 year old woman he met at a party at the weekend, asking if he was interested in meeting up again. I mean, he’s got women chasing after him! It simply isn’t fair!
Envious though I might be of his powers in this respect, there is still something to be said for good old monogamy. When you’ve lived with the same person for years you know exactly which buttons to press, and when. You can play your partner like a musical instrument and, like a concert pianist, you know exactly how to get the very best out of your chosen instrument for maximum pleasure and get some pretty sweet music as a result. Does it get boring, having a deep intimate relationship with the same person year in and year out? Try asking any concert pianist if they ever get bored knocking out a few tunes on the old Joanna. There is always room for improvement, for experimentation.
Now don’t think for a moment that I am promoting the monogamous lifestyle as the only proper way to go about things. That would fly in the face of all the evidence. I am just saying that it works for us, and for that I feel incredibly grateful.
The other night we were late to bed again, having taken a couple of early nights to try and compensate for the excesses of the weekend. There was a ton of work to do in the office, we both had things we had to go to that evening, in fact I had two separate events that required my presence simultaneously at opposite ends of town. Not having mastered the basic principles of time travel, I had to leave one early and yomp across town to the other in sub-zero temperatures (Heather had the car) to catch the last bit of the other. This is how it always is as we get towards Christmas, there is something going on almost every night and often several things at once.
So we were well and truly knackered when we rolled into bed, and poor Heather was suffering with a backache. She rolled over and asked me to massage her between the shoulder blades, which to me is quite a powerful erogenous zone. I’m convinced that that particular area gives off its’ own unique pheromone. However, I was quite happy to massage her and then snuggle beside her to sleep but suddenly she looked round at me and asked:
“Do you want Sex?”
Silly question. Of course I want sex. Who wouldn’t?
“Do you?” I asked her back.
“Mmmmaybe” she replied coyly. I HATE that. After 30 years of being together she still can’t come straight out and say she wants sex. If there was one thing I would change about her, it would be that. However, the very fact that she asked at 1.30 in the morning suggested that she was as needy as I.
“You’ll have to go a bit gently because of my back, so no sudden twisting or pulling” she warned. “I’m going to have to make an appointment with the chiropractor tomorrow”
“I think I’ll have to make an appointment as well. With you” I whispered.
“What for?”
“It’s high time you had some punishment. You need keeping in line”.
She sighed and parted her legs ever so slightly as I massaged her mons.
“I think you’d benefit from thick leather cuffs on your wrists and ankles but I can’t quite decide what to do with you. Do I stretch you out as far as you will go in the door frame so that the skin of your back is as tight as a drum when I lash you, or should I make you crouch, not able to squat or to stand.
“How would that be?” I carried on. “If I put the nipple clamps on you and joined them to the hooks by the floor by chains so that you couldn’t stand fully upright, but with your wrists chained to the hooks above your head so that you couldn’t fully squat down.”
“That would be very uncomfortable” she panted.
“Yes, it would. After a while the muscles in your legs would be screaming and you would strain upwards, pulling at your nipples to get some relief, or hang by your wrists. Anything to change position for a brief moment”.
She moaned more intensely as I slid a finger down into her soaking wet cleft and dragged some moisture up over her clitoris.
“I think I’d just sit there and watch you twisting and turning. Waiting to see what you’d be willing to do for me in return for your release”.
“You’d have to catch me first” she gasped as the first waves of orgasm hit her.
“No problem”. I purred. I’d lie in wait with a pair of handcuffs and snap them on when you least expected it”
“I’d fight back” The word were forced out through gritted teeth.
“Good”. I whispered as she spasmed and bucked and pressed her pubis up into my hand.
“Maybe I’ll just handcuff you to the end of the bed, strip you, spread your legs and fuck you”.
“I wouldn’t let you” she gasped defiantly as her orgasm rolled on and on.
“I wouldn’t give you the choice. I’d tie your ankles to the end of the bed and fuck you whether you liked it or not.”
That bought her waning orgasm to a new height of intensity as she cried out and thrashed around, and I held her tight as it slowly subsided and left her shivering.
I have to admit I was in two minds about including this last bit. I deleted and re-wrote it several times. I would hate anybody to think that I was trivialising the awful and devastating crime that rape is. That was not my intention. It was just the way it happened. I am proud to say that in the 30 years I have known Heather I have not once raised a hand to her in anger. When we act out these fantasies she is very much a willing participant and if she were to say ‘Stop’ or to use the safe word then it would stop there and then. She never has.
She normally lets me decide what position to use for entering her, but out of consideration for her back, she thought she’d better find one that was comfortable for her. She slowly rolled over onto all fours. I knelt behind her, my knees straddling her legs, and eased into her, massaging her shoulder blades as I did so. She was just so divinely tight and wet and warm. I luxuriated in the closeness of her surrounding me, easing slowly in and out to experience it again and again. Gradually the thrusting became more determined. I pushed harder and grabbed around the back of her neck in a pincer-like grip. She threw her head back, started moaning and contracting again. I was on the point of telling her to put a hand up between her legs, to bring herself off again, but I was past my point of no return. I drove the breath out of her as my parting thrusts slammed into her and then all was quiet.
“You know I was very close to coming again” she said.
I’d felt that. This was extraordinary; for one thing Heather very rarely comes more than the once, and if she does it requires some pretty strenuous attention from me. Secondly, In all the time I have known her she has never come from penetration alone.
I don’t know quite what it was that brought her so close; whether it was the verbal foreplay or her legs squeezed together as I pushed into her, the grip on her neck or maybe I had found just the right angle at which to penetrate her. Whatever it was, I had clearly pushed some of the right buttons
I want to try again soon and do the job properly. There’s always room for improvement.
