other’s company.  It was like it always had been between them, like their problems were a million miles away.  Unfortunately they weren’t, though, and the time had come to face the music.
    Bill carried their plates into the kitchen and returned with two slices of raspberry glazed fudge cake.  As he sat back down at the table he grabbed Carla’s hand and asked, “What do I need to do, Carla?  Tell me what you want and it’s yours.  I can’t figure this out on my own and I die inside a little more each day without you.”
    Carla swallowed hard.  “I wish it were that easy, Bill.  I do.  But I can’t just tell you what to do and expect it work.  You need to make those decisions, not me.”
    “But I don’t know what to do because I don’t know what you want.”  He said softly. 
    “I want you, Bill.  I want to be a part of your life.  Not as your housekeeper or as an observer, I want us to have a partnership like we had before.  I want to spend time with you, in person not on the phone, and I want us to do boring everyday couples things together.  I want the mundane life of a husband and wife.  I want to eat dinner together every night, maybe watch a movie and go to bed together.  I want a husband who keeps his promises, and dammit, I want a sex life!”
    “I’ll do it.  I’ll limit my time at work and I’ll consult with you when things come up.  I’ll be home every evening, whenever you want me to be, and I’ll take you anywhere you want to go whenever you want to go.  And sweetheart, making love to you is no hardship.  I’ll make love to you every morning, noon, and night.  I just want you to come home.”
    She wanted to come home too.  It was so hard to stand her ground and not give in.  Every fiber of her body was trembling from the effort.  Her heart was galloping a mile a minute and the hopeful look on her husband’s face was more than she could bear.
    Tears trickling down her face, she cupped Bill’s cheek in her palm.  “I’m not coming home, Bill.  Not until I know for absolute certainty that this is going to work between us.  I don’t know that I’ll survive leaving you again.”
    Without warning, Bill smashed his lips to hers.  The kiss was fierce and proprietary and she couldn’t stop the little moan that rumbled in her throat.  She always loved when Bill got all domineering and evidently that hasn’t changed over the months of abstinence.  If anything it has gotten stronger.
    “I’m not letting you go, sweetheart.  You’re mine and I’ll get you back.”  He kissed her again only this time was softer, more seductive.
    He led her hand to his groin where he rubbed his hard, achy dick up and down against her palm.  “How about we start working on that new and improved sex life right now?”
    Oh, what the hell , she thought.  They were married and consenting and it had been so long since she had been touched in this way.  She ached from wanting and didn’t see a need in depriving herself of the intimacy she craved.
    Carla hooked her fingers in the waist band of Bill’s pants and pulled him towards the living room couch.  His eyes were alight with embers of arousal and he stared into her eyes the entire way.  Once she reached her destination, she pulled his shirt up over his head and pushed him backward onto the middle cushion.
    His bare chest was a magnificent sight, all muscle and smooth silky skin that was lightly sprinkled with hair.  She stroked his pecs as she settled on his lap and kissed the hollow of his throat.  Nibbling kisses moved up his throat and over his chin.  Opening his eyes, he found himself staring into her sultry green depths as she took his mouth in a heated kiss.
    One of Bill’s hands wove through her hair to hold her still for his mouth to capture hers while the other hand slid down to cup her ass. He loved her ass.  It was perky and round.  The kind of ass a man could hold onto as he pumped into her over and over
