The Road to Darker Desires
At some point in every relationship, things tend to get a little stale. There are a lot of reasons that the initial fireworks can start to fizzle, and it should not be a cause for alarm but rather an opportunity to re-ignite. Tom and Donna had been seeing each other for the last year and a half. The both loved each other immensely and genuinely liked being around each other. The problem was that their sex life had started to decline over the last few months.
They still had passion for each other and enjoyed the private moments they had, but it seemed to become harder and harder to find time to be together intimately. And, when they were intimate it started to seem automatic and mundane. And it seemed like they were out of sync. Occasionally, one of them would be full of passion and desire while the other seemed to look at sex as more of a routine chore.
Of course, the stresses of jobs and homes and kids did not help matter any. Hell, just finding time to be alone was tricky, and when it happened they were expected to be fueled up and ready to go at a moment's notice. So. While mostly satisfying and pleasurable, sex had become more of a stress relief mechanism rather than an act of love.
This all became abundantly clear to both Tom and Donna on one fateful November night. Both had had to work late and returned home after 7 pm, exhausted and frustrated. As Donna entered the house, she was met by the screams of Tom and her daughter Chelsea. Apparently something to do with her not leaving the house looking like a tramp and some choice words accentuating that since he was not her father, Tom could shove various items up his ass. After the day she had at work, this was the last thing she needed.
Donna and Tom were both previously divorced and each had kids from their previous marriage. Chelsea was Donna's daughter and lived with both Tom and Donna. She didn't seem to dislike Tom, but steadfastly refused any attempts at discipline or advice from Tom. Tensions between the two had been escalating lately, and that caused tension between Tom and Donna to escalate a bit as well.
All she wanted was a bath and a glass of wine. Who was she kidding, she needed the whole bottle. But, she knew she would have to deal with this latest drama first and headed into the kitchen to diffuse the situation.
After a long 15 minutes, the situation was under control. Or, at least, everyone retreated to different rooms and the yelling stopped. Realizing that things were not likely to get any better or worse for the moment, Donna grabbed a bottle of white wine and headed upstairs.
"Fuck it all," she muttered to herself as she disrobed bits of clothing throughout the house on her way to the bath. She had gotten down to her underwear and closed the door behind her as she opened the bottle and started the bathwater. After a long gulp, she dimmed the lights, set some relaxing music to play on her phone and slipped out of her remaining clothes as she slipped into the warm bath.
Donna felt most of the days stress begin to melt away in the warm water. She sipped at her wine and let her mind settle into nothingness. She still had one thing gnawing at the back of her mind. She couldn't quite place what it was, but it was preventing her from sliding into the zen-like trance she was hoping for. She put her job out of her mind and had forgotten about Tom and Chelsea for the moment. Try as she might, she just couldn't get to 100% relaxation.
She shifted in the tub to reach for the tap to refill the bath with more hot water. As she leaned forward, she realized what was wrong. As her body leaned forward, her erect nipples brushed against her thighs and caused a little pleasant shock to pulse through her body.
"Damn, I didn't expect that," she whispered.
Donna and Tom had not had sex for a few weeks. Possibly even a couple of months. Things had been so hectic that they just couldn't find the time. Donna had been so busy and so focused that she didn't even realize that she was horny. She let her fingers venture into the water, down between her thighs. She ran her fingers down through the soft hair until she reached the tiny bump of her clit. When her finger made contact, she felt a jolt. As she pressed on further, through the lips to her opening, she realized she was wet down there. Not just water wetness, but the slick lubrication of her arousal was definitely present.
"Oooh, that's nice," she said as her fingers explored familiar yet neglected territory.
Donna continued to pleasure herself, exploring the area between her thighs until her movements became more frantic and desperate. She had two fingers buried deep inside herself and was pinching her left nipple hard when the door suddenly opened, bringing in the light from the hallway and the surprised gasp from Tom.
"What the fuck? What are you doing in here?"
Donna jumped in alarm and curled in a ball to shield her naked body and her actions. Her fingers were still nestled deep inside her pussy when she said, "God, can't a girl have any privacy?"
"Are you playing with yourself? No wonder we don't have sex, you are spending your time in here taking care of yourself that you don't need me," Tom said with a little indignation.
"Fuck you, and you know that's not true," she responded.
"The problem is you won't fuck me because you're in here fucking yourself."
"Oh Shut up," she replied.
"Make me!"
Donna sat there in the tub, silent and still crouched over. Surprisingly this heated conversation was causing her pussy to throb. She could feel the walls of her pussy clenching around the fingers still inside her. The feeling was very pleasant and it gave her an idea.
"Come over here."
"What? What for?"
"Just shut up and get over here!"
