"The Forgetful Husband" by Tom Bombadil (stbush@iglou.com). This author usually gets nearly perfect ratings from me, but as I started this story, I shook my head and felt my pussy. It was dry. My pussy, that is. The story was too slow - all shopping and talking and no sex. And besides, I knew exactly where the story was going: the man had apparently forgotten their wedding anniversary, but he was going to surprise her with a romantic evening and blissful sex. I mean, this was alt.sex.stories, not alt.sex.shopping, wasn't it?

Well, the story DID go where I thought it would, but there were a few interesting twists when we got there. It turned out that the slow pace at the beginning made the hot stuff later on seem hotter. This turned into a very sexy, romantic story.
