She slammed the front door closed and threw Her bag into the nearest chair before uttering a scream of frustration that She had been keeping pent up inside Her chest all day. She followed it up with a litany of curses that She rained down on the heads of Her boss, Her coworkers, and the asshole who cut Her off in traffic on the drive home. Her rage was building up to exploding point when She felt His arms wrap around Her from behind like a drink of cool water on a hot Summer's day.
At His touch, as the scent of His skin filled her, as His whispered "Rough day?" sent a shiver down Her spine, She felt Her rage melt away instantly.
He always had that effect on Her.
She turned in His arms and wrapped Hers around His waist, burying Her face into His chest and muttering "What was your first clue?" as She revelled in the warm smell of Him. Freshly washed clothes, soft skin, a hint of His favorite body scrub, and that elusive and indefinable scent that She had come to identify with His arousal. This was the smell of being home, in His arms.
He smiled down into Her hair as He kissed it. "Oh just a guess, nothing specific really."
The fact that He bent and picked Her up into His arms didn't take Her by surprise. Nor did being carried into the bedroom. This was all a part of their homecoming ritual, a daily affirmation of their desire, kept in check during the long work day. What did take Her by surprise was what He did next.
The next step would have been being tossed onto the bed, having Her clothes torn off, and having Him ravish Her with every ounce of His strength and desire. She never tired of the way that He couldn't resist Her body or get enough of fucking Her senseless. It was a power that secretly thrilled Her.
