Warm kisses in bed
Erotic dreams and snuggles
Deep in dreamland, you feel the soft, warm kisses on your neck. You smile in your sleep, and dreams turn from the bizarre to the erotic.
Private moments have been few and far between lately. Both of you have been putting careers before intimacy, and the strain is beginning to show. Curt nods in the morning, strained telephone calls during the day. Rushed meals on the way to and from work.
You have been feeling touch-deprived. Simple intimacies have disappeared. Hugs, kisses, playful taps on the rear — they never happen anymore. Grumpiness is the new normal, and it’s not good for anybody.
As a tongue eagerly but gently caresses your face, you begin to feel aroused. It had been a long day, and sleep had come quickly. A person can’t live on work and food alone. Everybody needs the feel of another person’s caress to keep their sanity in this crazy world.
You whisper, “Hey, babe. What’s up?”
A groggy voice, half-asleep, replies, “It’s your turn tonight.”
My turn? What? My turn for what?
Slowly, you awaken, dreams turning into reality. The stark horror of the truth is too much for anyone.
Damn it; the dog needs out.
