But under the table, toes touch toes, and across the table, eyes full of lust and passion speak to one another. As she cleans the table and kitchen, s...e hears him helping the c***dren with their homework, his voice driving her mad with desire. She peeks around the corner, seeing him lying on the floor, his grey sweats and tshirt so sexy to her mind's eye. He feels her gaze and turns to wink at her. She can read a million things into that wink. All evening, waiting....wanting...needing. Time. I just don't see how throttling you and ending up in jail is going to make things better."

I want you as a lover again, but without the penis, because that always stood between us." She started to laugh again. "Get it? 'Stood between us!' Ha, ha!" She stopped again."Now, off you go and get.
