Sex with Meaning

The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal.

11:50 PM.

Liam brushed his teeth and washed his face getting ready for bed. After waiting around all night in the hotel room, he had given up hope that Jade would come.

He undressed and wore a tight white cotton t-shirt and a pair of black boxer shorts. He lay back on the large bed in the luxury suite and flicked through the channels on T.V.

Laying his head back on the pillow and lighting a cigarette, he continued to change the channel in order to find something to help him sleep.

He stopped at a music video of a pretty girl on a beach wearing a bikini.

Liam took off his underwear and got under the covers.

He hadn't slept with his wife in over a month.

Before marriage, Liam could stay months or even up to a year without sleeping with a woman. It hadn't really bothered him, or affected him greatly.

However since marrying Jade, they had been sleeping together every night, sometimes multiple times and his body had grown used to it.
