Hope and Disappointment

Jennifer left the shower refreshed and slightly excited at the chance to have sex with her husband. She made her way to the bedroom with her towel wrapped around her, only to see her husband already asleep in their bed. She could even hear him snoring softly, which meant that he wasn't going to get up. Jennifer couldn't help but feel disappointed as she laid naked beside him. He'd seemed to be ready and excited for the sex too, which only made it more upsetting that he failed to follow through. She sighed and fell asleep beside him, hoping this wouldn't become their new normal.

Jennifer didn't know how much time had passed, but before she knew it, she felt like she was floating. Her body felt light and weightless as she relaxed in the sky without a care in the world. Subconsciously, she knew she was dreaming, but her conscious mind refused to latch onto the fact since it would end the blissful state that she found herself in. As she closed her eyes and relaxed atop a cloud, she heard a familiar voice speak to her.

"You're completely relaxed and comfortable."

Jennifer relaxed even further as her sense of weightlessness seemed to strengthen. She recognized that the voice belonged to Dustin and knew that she could relax around him since she trusted him. It was only because of his presence that she was able to relax this much. It wasn't long ago that she felt that wasn't the case, but Dustin was a changed man. He helped her relax after a stressful day and was pleasant company at dinner, which was something that would have been impossible for him to do the day before.

"You trust me immensely and highly value my opinion."

Jennifer unconsciously nodded as she agreed with the words being spoken. She trusted him and highly valued his opinion over many people in her life. There were few people that she trusted as much as him.

"You were only able to completely relax because of me and are deeply grateful."

Jennifer agreed that she was only able to feel this blissful and comfortable because of Dustin. She was deeply grateful that she could feel so free and happy. Jennifer hoped that she could repay the favor somehow in the future. Perhaps, she could inquire if there were any open job positions at her or her husband's company.

"Thinking about me is pleasant and wonderful."

Jennifer's thoughts turned toward the pleasant conversation she had with him after dinner and how he complimented her. Jennifer couldn't help but feel a little sexy after the interaction as she left to shower. She hoped to hang out with him again in the future.

"You can't help feeling disappointment and unappreciated when thinking about Marcus."

Jennifer for the first time since Dustin started speaking, frowned as she accepted what Dustin had said. She didn't have time to think about it as Dustin spoke again.

"He flirted and teased you all night long only to neglect you when it mattered most. It hurt you and weighed you down more than you cared to admit."

Jennifer's peaceful and blissful state slightly broke apart at those words. She could feel her weightlessness lessen as she felt an invisible weight press against her chest as she started to slowly fall toward the ground. Jennifer couldn't help but agree that Marcus was dismissive and inconsiderate of her when he went to bed early, especially since he knew that she was freshening up just for him.

"He's also going to be spending a lot more time with his hot boss and new sexy assistant rather than you. You can't help but be angry and resentful over that fact."

Jennifer could feel black chains erupt from the ground beneath her and wrap around her before they started pulling her down to the ground even faster. She couldn't help but picture a cute new assistant hanging over his every word as they spent countless hours together working hand in hand on different projects while she was ignored and forgotten. Jennifer could feel the negative emotions building within her as she continued to descend as her thoughts turned toward Marcus's boss, Gabriela. Dustin was right when he called her hot. She had a huge bubble butt that any woman would be jealous of, with a toned body that she was proud of, so of course Marcus would pay more attention to them over her.

"He chose to get promoted at his job without consulting you because he doesn't care about your opinion and cares more about himself than you. He puts himself first in the relationship and you second."

Jennifer was now on the ground, wrapped in chains and on the verge of tears as she realized that Marcus doesn't care as much about her as she thought. Why else would he choose to make such a huge decision without her? More importantly, one that could cause their relationship to weaken and their happiness together to lessen. Jennifer had her answer; it was because he only thought about himself and not them as a team. She now had to wonder if he ever truly cared about her or if it was all an act. Jennifer couldn't help but be extremely sad and disappointed in Marcus as Dustin spoke again.

"Thinking about Marcus fills you with sadness, anger, resentment, and disappointment that does nothing but weigh you down and make your days worse. You don't want to feel like that."

Jennifer nodded since she didn't want to feel like that. She hated these feelings and wanted nothing more than to get rid of them.

"Thankfully, thinking about me makes you feel overjoyed, excited, and blissful."

Jennifer smiled as the weight on her chest lessened as she thought about Dustin. The relaxing state she was in earlier was all thanks to him, and that memory allowed the chains around her to loosen as she began floating back into the sky since she was no longer being weighed down as much by Marcus's actions. However, she knew that she wouldn't feel as free as she was before, with those feelings pulling her down.

"Focusing all your attention on me makes it much easier to ignore Marcus and not think about him at all."

Jennifer latched onto the words since she longed for that sense of bliss and freedom. The chains attached to her turned invisible but didn't disappear as she moved back up towards the sky. All she needed to do was focus on Dustin and forget about everything else. She couldn't help but relax as a smile once more appeared on her face as she thought about someone who would pay attention to her, compliment her, and help her when she needed it. Jennifer relaxed once more into a blissful sleep, completely unaware of how exposed she looked to Dustin.

“My touch is extremely pleasurable to you; you can never get enough of it.”

Jennifer felt Dustin’s hand brush against her cheek, and she couldn’t help but shiver in pleasure at the touch. It was gone a moment later, but she knew that she wanted more of it. Jennifer could feel herself starting to wake up but she was too tired and relaxed to open her eyes. She fell back asleep once again and found herself having another sweet dream.
