Jaxon              Kissing my way up my wife’s flat stomach, I lick her nipple and nip her neck. Maleah’s heaving chest glistens with sweat as she rests back on the bathroom counter, exhales deeply, and wraps an arm around my neck as she gazes into my eyes. She looks soft and sweet in her post-orgasm euphoria. Her hair sticks to her shoulders becomingly, and her lips are swollen from my kisses. Pulling out of her hot center, I zip up my slacks and kiss her one last time. She licks her lips and breathlessly whispers. “Oh, baby, you’re so talented.”              I nod my head and smirk at her contented smile. “I live to serve my beautiful lady.”              Stepping back, I watch as Maleah slides to her feet and slips on a loos
