All for the sake of love and possession

Stacey and Chris were lying on the bed in a warm embrace, rhythmically breathing in tune feeling the beating of each other’s hearts.

“Wow, we haven’t had sex like that in ages.” Stacey said and then started to giggle, slightly hysterically.

“You were so funny when you were doing the Spanish dancer, your hands in the air and your hips wiggling all over the place. I think we can definitely conclude dancing is not your forte Chris, although it was kind of sexy seeing you all loosened up.”

“So much for playing out the 6 cards though. We didn’t get past the third one. I felt so horny.” Chris mused.

There was a closeness between them in that moment and the smile in their eyes said it all.

Then Chris exclaimed, “Oh no, we’ve missed Homeland.”

“Nope, we haven’t. I recorded it when you were in the bathroom.” Triumph gleaming in her eyes, then “Sorry I was a bit tricky about the Nookii game, it’s just it made me feel like I wasn’t good enough and that you needed something else to get you going.” Stacey admitted.

“You always turn me on Stace, but that was a good laugh wasn’t it?”

“For sure. Talking of getting going, I’ve got to call Graeme. I’m meeting him tomorrow, don’t mind do you?”

“What, that bloke you met at your school reunion? What you meeting him for?” It was a bit of a knock. She had shown Chris a photo of him and he was pretty fit.

“He’s nice. We’re just catching up on the old days. Don’t be so paranoid.”

That took the wind out of the mood. Chris didn’t want Stacey to know he was pissed off so he jumped off the bed and said “I’m just going to send a couple of emails, I’ll be about 20 minutes, then we can watch TV, OK?” and he was off.

Stacey knew something was up, but hey, it wasn’t her problem.

Put the X into Xmas – A short story

“Happy Christmas darling”, said Chris nervously.

“What is it?”

“Just open it Stace, it’s for us, something to spice things up a bit and have a laugh.”

“Nookii, the grown up game for playful couples. A sex game? We don’t need this, there’s nothing wrong with our sex life. Is there?” Stacey questioned, somewhat confused.

“Of course not, I love you. I just thought it was a bit different, a bit of fun that’s all.” Chris was trying not to be defensive in his tone.

Stacey put the game aside, wondering if Chris thought she was boring in bed these days. Fair enough, they didn’t have nearly as much sex as they used to but that’s normal isn’t it, once you’ve been together for a while?

“Shall we play it later? After dinner?” Chris asked, finding it hard to contain his excitement but worried Stacey was upset.

Come on Stacey, put on a brave face and at least act like you’re pleased. It’s only sex after all. But from a game? Something someone else has written. It all sounds a bit cheesy. I mean why can’t we come up with our own foreplay. Ahhh, foreplay, a distant word from the past. There didn’t seem enough these days, to have long lazy sex without thinking about all the things I have to do – my difficult boss at work, getting dinner or the fact that Homeland starts at 9pm. Must set the Record button for that.

“Sure, why not, let’s give it a go but don’t expect me to start swinging from the chandeliers Chris”, she said with trepidation.

“Now here’s your pressie.” Stacey hands Chris a small package. He opens it.

“Oh great, a new tie. Thanks love.”

Chris drums up enthusiasm for the gift and pecks her on the cheek but what he really wants is to play the game of Nookii….
