This is a fun little romp about a 40-something husband and wife who are seeking to find a little of the youthful spark in their sexual activities that has faded over the years. With their kids moved on to college, they now have the time and privacy to "explore" methods of bringing that spark back. I intend to write this as a series, as I have a few other ideas in mind. I'd also like to find a female writing partner that would be willing to write these from wife's perspective. Please message me privately if you are interested.
This could have gone in any of several categories. I chose "Erotic Couplings," but I think it would have also worked in others.
I hope you enjoy! Comments are my pay for these stories, so please tell me what you think!

It was a little bit past two in the afternoon, and a break in my schedule allowed me time to get my cell phone out of my desk drawer and tap out a message.
"Are you still up for this?"
After a few minutes, a reply came.
"Yes, I think so."
"I have a few things to pick up on the way home. I should be there by six."
"Okay, I'll see you then."
"I love you, babe!"
"I love you too!"
I set my phone back in the drawer. We were going to go through with our little plan. I think we were probably both a little nervous, although there really wasn't any reason to be. We had discussed this thoroughly, covering almost all angles. It may be one of those things that after you do it once or twice, it will eventually seem like second nature, if we decided to do it again. As I set there in my office, I thought back to how it was that we had gotten to this point.
My name is Kyle. There is really nothing remarkable about me. I work in the middle of corporate America, my office in a downtown high-rise overlooking the city below. The job is not nearly as glamorous as the view, but it pays well, and I'm blessed to have been able to provide for my family.
I'm in my mid-40's. I'm married to a beautiful woman I met while in my second year of college. Her name is Victoria, but it's a big name for a petite woman, so for as long as I've known her, she's just been Vic. We happened to have a class together, and the professor assigned the two of us to complete a team project. After working together on the project for two straight evenings, we literally fell in love with each other. We married the first weekend following our graduation from college, and began to live the American Dream.
For the first three years of our marriage, we pretty much did whatever we wanted to do, whenever we wanted to do it. We had an active social life with several close friends. Our love life was off the charts. Our relationship was such that we could tell each other anything regarding sex - likes and dislikes, passions and fantasies, all without fear of retribution or jealousy from each other.
But as great as those days were, we felt it was necessary to put that lifestyle aside and expand our family. Our son Justin came first, and 14 months later our daughter Jasmine was born. Feeling like our family size was perfect, we made the decision that I would have a vasectomy. It wasn't much fun, and I'm glad I don't have to do it again. But I was able to milk some "special attention" from my wife as I healed. Special attention isn't always about sex!
We set about our life as doting parents. Our social activities all but ceased. Our sex life remained good, but limited in frequency and availability. We were still madly in love with each other, but it just wasn't practical to keep up with the level of sex we enjoyed those first three years. But neither of us complained, and in reality, each time we made love, it was that much more special, since it didn't happen as often as it did before.
As the kids became busier with the activities in their lives, we found less time to spend on our own healthy habits. Consequently, our bodies suffered. Vic never quite lost all of her pregnancy weight after Jasmine was born. I had a pretty typical "dad bod," complete with small spare tire around my waist. I began to notice that everyday activities were harder to accomplish. I certainly wasn't as trim and in shape as I had been when we got married.
Our kids had done well in school, and soon they were headed off to college. Between the scholarships they had been awarded and the college funds we had established shortly after each one had been born, it didn't look like the financial strain of paying for college was going too be hard on us. They had ended up in two different schools, each in the opposite direction from our home.
While we loved our kids, Vic and I found that having the house to ourselves again was pretty nice! I've heard other people talk of "empty nest syndrome," and how hard it was coping without their children being around all the time. Not us - we loved our privacy. We anticipated returning to a lifestyle similar to what we had before the kids were born.
Unfortunately, our bodies weren't able to keep up with that standard. We had neglected them far too long. We decided together that it was time to do something, and that something was joining a gym. We held each other accountable for our workouts, encouraging each other. Our workout times became very special to us, because we were working together, sharing each other's successes and encouraging each other through setbacks.
Our trips to the gym were paying off. In six months, I lost 35 pounds and gained some muscle in the process. I could tell a huge difference in my stamina, including in the bedroom. I was much less winded with accomplishing physical tasks. There was still a hint of the spare tire, and I wasn't ready to parade around without a shirt on, but I was proud of my accomplishments nonetheless.
Vic experienced similar success as well. She had lost about 20 pounds, which is a significant amount considering her petite frame and her 5'2" height. Like me, she wasn't able to get rid of the belly pooch that marked her as a mom. But the walking and jogging we did together had really toned her beautiful legs, with well-defined calf muscles and sleek thighs. Her perky little ass was always one of her great features, and running behind her while she was wearing her tights could really get my fires going.
It was after a particularly invigorating run one Sunday afternoon that the topic came up. We were just inside the living room, still trying to catch our breath. I looked over at her and noticed the sheen on her skin that was a product of her sweating as her body tried to cool itself. I walked over to her and began to offer little kisses on her cheek before moving down to her neck and shoulder. She pushed me away laughingly and said, "Ewww, Kyle, stop! You're sweaty and gross. What's gotten into you?"
I was a little surprised at her reaction. "I don't know, Vic - I just looked over at you and for the first time saw how sexy you looked after that run. It was almost like a new discovery of sorts. I don't know why I hadn't seen it before, but I know I was getting excited!"
"Seriously? I mean, look at me? I'm all gross and sweaty! You are as well!
"Baby, there is nothing gross about you right now. Look at yourself - you're wearing tight clothes that show off every sexy curve, including that delicious ass. You've got your hair in a little ponytail, which is not the way your normally wear it. As far as the sweaty part...well, I would prefer to think that you are glistening! Very sexy!
I could tell Vic was thinking. If she would have been looking at me, she would have seen that there was only one head I was thinking with, and it was growing prominently as I stared at her.
That head won out, and I glided over to where she was standing and grabbed the bottom of her sports bra so I could pull it up over her head. She snapped out of her trance and tried to resist, but I was too quick for her. I pulled it up and over her head, and she reflexively held her arms up to help. She looked so sexy, her mocha brown nipples standing at attention on top of her little breasts, the result of them being freed into the cool air.
I kneeled down in front of her and began the more difficult process of peeling off her tights and thong panty. Eventually I got them both pulled down below her knees, but in my brilliance I had forgotten to take her shoes off first. She playfully slapped the side of my head and kicked her shoes off, then took off her socks and the previously mentioned tights and panty. While she did that, I quickly removed my clothing - being a guy, it didn't take nearly as much effort to get me naked as it did her.
"You horny dog!" she said as she looked first at my erect cock, then my grinning face. "Look, Kyle, I don't want to feel your sweaty body pawing over me. If you want something, you're going to have to take a shower first!"
