The Anniversary
Steve noticed a small package on the kitchen counter. It was from Amazon and it was addressed to his wife. It felt soft, almost as if there were nothing in it. What was it he wondered?
“So what’s in the package?” Steve asked his wife Karen.
“Hmm, you’ll see tonight,” she replied.
Today was their anniversary. After fourteen years of marriage and raising their son, they struggled to maintain intimacy. Both Steve and Karen tried their best, but time and familiarity made it difficult to think of sex as something new and exciting.
What Steve wouldn’t give to experience sex with Karen for the first time again. He remembered going to a party with her about 20 years ago after meeting at work, and then going back to her place. They ripped off each other’s clothes in the dining room of Karen’s small apartment and were almost naked by the time they reached her bedroom. Steve remembers removing Karen’s tight brown pants, exposing her panties for the first time. This was always something he thought about when pleasuring himself. And then removing her panties to see her pussy for the first time. The unfamiliarity and vulnerability of that moment was impossible to replicate of course, which was why things eventually become stale between married couples.
