Back From Away
Someone's been gone too long. The welcome home starts in the bedroom.
After a trip, a long shift, or a stretch of weeks that felt like a trip, the first night back matters. Rust plaster, linen, and a plan to catch up properly.
The evening
After Midnight: Bolder. Suggestive, never explicit.
Start where you left off. Missionary or one of you on top for the face-to-face part, then spooning when you want slow and close. Bring the couples toy in if you both like it. Say what you missed while you're doing it.
Talk about what's on and off the table before anything starts, and agree on a pause word everyone knows. Anyone can step out at any point, with no explanation needed. Check in with each person, not only the group.
The setting
A trailing plant and a candle or two as the light goes.
Whatever was playing in the house the week before. It brings the room back.
Grounded and earthy, like the materials in the room.
Washed linen, a chunky knit throw, bare feet on a wool rug.
Positions it suits
From the position guide: frank, practical and comfort-aware, with the furniture that makes each one easier.
One partner on their back, the other on top facing them. The classic for a reason.
One partner lies back, the other straddles them facing forward and sets the pace.
Both on your sides, one behind the other. Lazy in the best way.
Oral sex for both of you at the same time, head to toe.
