Last Night's Escape

I never thought I'd do something like this, but last night was a breakthrough. My husband and I have been married for twenty years now, so it’s not like we need any new tricks or anything, right? Well, I found myself craving something different recently, a chance to be small again, just for a while. Last night, he surprised me with a bottle in the bathtub, and oh my god, the way the world shrank down into this little space was incredible. It felt like an escape from all the pressures of being grown up, work stresses, life responsibilities, it all melted away as I sipped that warm milk through a baby bottle. We started off just cuddling in our pajamas with stuffed animals and coloring books. The more we did it, the deeper into my little space I sank. By the time he took me to bed, I was totally immersed, my body trembling with anticipation when his fingers found their way inside me. There’s a freedom in letting go that is both terrifying and liberating, I never thought it would feel so good.
