A walk in the dark

My lesbian wife Red and I left the Tudor house where we were taking care of our two children. The weird thing is that we were practically **** out of our house by our friend Cindy Peters who is helping us take care of our precious treasures. Our friend made us take some time off because the stress of parenthood erupted in a huge shouting match. I guess what happened is understandable since we have both been tired lately, but I still feel guilty because of the stupidity of our fight. That is not the only thing I feel guilty about. Our kids were crying when we left and I did not run up to check on them. I stopped walking for a second as I looked back at our home.

"Are you okay, Vanessa?" Red probed.

"I feel guilty," I quietly whined.

"I know how you feel, but there have been times lately when I have been too tired to think," Red reasoned. "Cindy was right. We need this."

"I almost think that I can still hear our babies crying," I complained.

"I do too, but Cindy would probably kill us both if we went back home so soon," Red put forth while giving me a rueful smile and a warm hug. "Shall we continue?"

Red motioned away from our house when she asked me that question. I put my hand in hers to let her lead me away. I appreciated all of the nature of the forest and the cuddly animals periodically running around. All of the sights and sounds of the outdoors is definitely helping me to relax. My sweetheart and I did nothing but relax as we walked hand in hand through tranquility. If there is one thing that I have learned, it's that a time this perfect won't last for long. This lesson held true again when my hot flame looked me in the eye and spoke.

"As long as we are solving one problem, we might as well solve another one," Red decided while putting her hands on my waist and looking me in the eye.

"What's the problem?" I wondered out loud as my breath caught in my throat.

"I have been a little bored lately," Red droned.

"Are you bored with me?!" I cried out in fear. Have I been doing something wrong? Could Red be thinking about leaving me?

"No! No! No!" Red consoled me while hugging me tight. "How could you even think that? I love you too much to ever be bored with you. We have been through way too much together for me to ever be with anyone else. You saved me from a talking wolf. You have taken me on this grand adventure. We have given each other children. We gave birth to them at the same time. What I am saying is that I am bored with some of the things that we have been doing."

"What do you mean?" I asked as I let loose a breath that I had been holding to calm down.

"I want us to do more new things," Red elaborated. "I can't remember the last time that we made love in a place other than our bed. I would like to try doing it in different locations. I am sure that Cindy would not mind if we asked her to take a walk once in a while. I would also like to do something downright crazy occasionally."

"I think we could arrange that," I replied with a wolfish smile.

"I am glad that you said that because I want to do something utterly crazy right now," Red revealed while looking like the cat that ate the canary.
