Last night I wrote yesterday's "Sex Homework" post and then realized it was 10:30 and I was caught up on work and blogging and that my family was all taken care of.
I decided to go to bed because I've been suffering from extreme sleep deprivation lately and am WAY behind.
HOWEVER, I was motivated by my own post and when I went into the bedroom I said, "Goodnight." in a stage whisper.
"Goodnight." he whispered back.
"You're awake?" I asked eagerly.
"No." he lied.
I laughed. He didn't.
I snuggled up to him. It was my turn to lie. "I'm not trying to seduce you." I said. "I just want to hug you."
I curled myself up against his back.
"I love you." I told him.
"I love you." he said.
"I missed you." I told him.
"I missed you." he said.
"I want you." I told him.
"GO AWAY." he begged.
He was begging again tonight - but in a totally different way.
This is a poetic piece of the complexities of bedtime in a relationship. For the most part I and probably she always wonder if sleepy time may lead up to sex. I like the honesty of both parties here. Just wanting to snuggle and "go away". Hmmmmm, honesty.... I may have to try that sometime.

Heh. Love it.
Every time I try to spoon him, he sighs heavily and moans, "I know what you're doing & it's not gonna work."

This is a familiar scene. Oh, the politics of marital nookie!

No one ever says "are you awake" and only wants to spoon, Kit. Nice work. A+

I'm not in a marital relationship but I do have a couple of "special friends" that I share naughty time with. (Not at the same time, of course!) Things have been a little dry for the last month, though, because I've been sick with a nasty cough, and the Hades-like temps here in the Midwest (108 today), and a weeks worth of lady fun...just not feelin' it. But last night one of my "friends" stopped by to encourage me....and BAM! I"m BAAAACK! Gotta love the drop in naughty fun visit.
