    The
upper hand

    Grant
    Mr. and Mrs. Grant Smith.
That title still brought a smile to my face every time I thought
about the day the love of my life and I became one. I could still
remember the day we first met, the day that changed my life
forever. Ever since that day I couldn’t get this woman out of my
head and it wasn’t long before she crept into my heart. It had been
years since then and so much had changed, I had taken up classes to
become a welder before landing this job in NYC, Lucy had been
attending college before traveling up to the big apple with me. If
someone would have told me that kid who used to sling rocks on the
coroner would be where I am now, I probably would have laughed in
their face. And yet here I am, with a great job, beautiful home,
and beautiful wife…I couldn’t have been happier.
    Lucy and I enjoyed our
honeymoon phase for the next eight months. I’m talking breakfast in
bed… including sex. Candle light dinners…including freaky sex. And
just enjoying the pleasure of being with one another...And did I
mention good sex. After a while things seemed to fall into an old
routine. We both settled back at work and I started to feel a
little empty, like we were missing something. During my lunch break
I headed into Wal-Mart to get a quick snack, a little boy staring
at a big wheel caught my attention. He was reaching his small hands
up to grab the toy when his old man came around and got it for him.
“Daddy I want to learn to drive that.” He said enthusiastically.
The man smiled down at his son. “Well lil man if you continue to be
good your daddy is gonna buy that for you.” “Yaaaaay!”The boy
jumped up and down. I don’t know why but it really warmed my heart
to see that…the love between father and son. I headed back to work
thirty minutes later and I was in a more somber mood than
before.
    I was getting sick of the
day to day schedule, I felt like my life was missing something, I
needed a change, some excitement… and I knew just what would do the
trick. I wasn’t sure if Lucy was ready for what I had in mind
though, so I came up with a little sexy plan that would coerce her
decision. As I heard her stilettoes coming up the stairs I already
had the bath water running and filling with bubbles to soften her
up for our little discussion.
    She walked in the bathroom
to candles lit, roses in the tub and me waiting to see the look on
her face. “Oh…trying to surprise me huh?” she said in awe. Lucy
came towards me as I was sitting on the tub and planted a big kiss
on my lips, when she tried to break away I held her in place a
little longer. “Well I thought my woman deserved something nice
after a long day.” She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me
another kiss. “Boy you thought right ...”
Oh yeah I got her, I thought. I intended
to work this night to the best of my ability, I mean pulling out
all the stops to get her nice and relaxed…this way she would least
expect my plan of attack. Lucy leaned on to the sink and removed
her shoes. “Can I help you with that?” I said giving her the eye.
She smiled at my whole Billy Dee Williams impression.
    “ Please do…” She motioned
for me to come over. I helped remove all of her clothes, piece by
piece and placed her in the tub, taking initiative to plant small
kisses on her naked skin. “Oh baby today was such a long day, from
meetings, to desk work, and everything else…” She took a deep
breath to soothe out the frustrations of the day. “I know I
expected a lot when I got promoted to assistant editor, but not
this much.” Lucy laid back into the warm water; I squatted near the
tub and gazed at her at her shapely body, picturing all the things
I wanted to do to it. “Well no need to worry about that right now
baby. You just sit back and chill and I’ll take care of everything
else.” I slipped my hand
