Caught Red-Handed: A Steamy Anniversary Gone Wrong
Our couple, married for 10 years, went on a weekend getaway to California to celebrate their anniversary. However, their sex life has been sporadic, and our protagonist has a higher sex drive than his wife. With his wife constantly tired during the trip, he decided to take care of his urges by masturbating while she was in the bath.
