Sara leaned over to her night table and turned out the lamp as soon as I walked in the bedroom. Of all the nonverbal cues we share in our sex life, this is one of the most important ones. It means "don't say a word, take off your clothes, and get in here." It's funny, any memories of being with other women have faded over the years to the point I only can remember being with my wife, but we still both have our ways to fantasize about other partners. For me, it's basic: massage room or casting couch porn. For her, it's these times we make love in the dark where she pretends I'm someone else. It might be a Hemsworth brother or other male star with ripped abs after we see a movie, or it might be the sexy Columbian guy who trims our trees and cleans the gutters.
I climb in bed and find her lying on her side with her back to me. Sliding up behind her, I spoon her warm body and discover Sara is already naked. I caress her back and shoulders, reaching around to cup one her 34C breasts and tease her nipple. Some of her skin turns to goose flesh and I explore further, rubbing her ass and working in a gentle squeeze. Everything I do is slow and silent, waiting for her to turn toward me and engage whatever fantasy is unfolding in her mind. Over the years I learned the most important thing to do is maintain silence and never break the mood back into reality.
