Stress relief (Patreon)

Your partner helps you relax after a long day.

“Awh, plaything. Shh. I know. I know. It’s been such a long day. You want to sink for a while? Let me make you feel all good and mindless?” Your partner asked, as you lay, head in their lap. Their fingers, idly brushing through your hair, felt so nice. Your troubles floated away.

Then you realised you hadn’t answered them. You nodded. “Yes please.” You said, quietly.

Their hand squeezed your shoulder, before going back to gently running through your hair. “Okay. Well, you just close your eyes, sweetness. Let my words take over.”

You did as you were told, closing your eyes, sinking into the softness that their fingers, brushing through your hair, brought you. “That’s it. Breathe long, deep breaths for me. Let every muscle unwind. You’ve got nowhere to be right now.”

Everything felt heavy. It was nice, to not have to think. To let them slip their words, their control, into your brain for a while. The rest of the day didn’t exist. There was just here. There was just now. Their softness. Their tenderness. Their words. Their love.
