This is my first attempt at erotic writing after being an avid reader in both English and my native tongue since my teens. Please note that this is a relatively mellow and slow story so if you are looking for something more thrill-packed, feel free to choose something else.

It started like just like any other evening. My wife (F, late 20s) and I (M, early 30s) were chilling at home at the end of a weekend filled with family gatherings and some light hiking. After more than 8 years together filled with (mostly) love and happiness, we developed a comfortable routine of sorts where we both know what the other needs and make an effort to make sure those needs are met.
This routine has extended itself to our sex life. We lost our virginity to each other early on in our relationship and have since explored together what turns us on sexually, both as individuals and as a couple. We are not afraid to experiment from time to time but have a very clear baseline of what makes the other feel good and how we each like to be pleasured which lets us maintain a healthy sex life.
That particular evening, after a quick dinner, my partner looked up and asked, "Hey, would you like to give me a massage?" In our private "love language", that specific proposition had a very clear meaning - she wanted sex. A back massage has become a steady part of our foreplay and such a question made it clear she was horny.
As we made our way to the bedroom, she took her shirt off, offering me a view of her bare back (she doesn't bother with a bra at home). She laid down on the bed and I took a minute to heat the oil and remove my own shirt. I sat down straddling her pelvis, making sure she was comfortable, and began massaging her shoulders.
As I slowly worked my way down her back, I could feel the pressures of everyday life starting to melt away from her body, replaced with contentedness and enjoyment at this moment of intimacy. Her breaths became deep, punctuated here and there by small noises of pleasure. She is not a vocal lover by any stretch of the imagination, but over the years I learned to listen and recognize the small signs indicating she's having a good time.
I eventually made my way to her lower back, applying extra pressure to the area just above her tailbone, which earned me even more noises of approval. Just before I made my way further down I asked, "Can I take off your pants and underwear?" Even after so many years together, consent and willingness are important.
