Ladylike

She notices that something happens whenever she initiates sex or tries to implement certain... 'elements' to their time together. Even something as simple as a passionate or descriptive utterance whispered in his ear is met with resistance. Perhaps a mild disapproval of some sort exists on his end? She just can't quite put her finger on it.

She is beginning to strongly suspect there is something about a bold woman that offends him. Maybe it is due to his conservative upbringing? Perhaps he feels it is a slight to his masculinity for the woman to take control? Wherever it may stem from, she feels it and she cannot ignore it.

She never catches it during the act itself, but shortly after. Ah, yes... there it is. The tiny shift in his demeanor once they are finished. Something that could easily be missed by a less perceptive female.

He will regard her a little lower for her openly wanton actions with him. It is not the proper behavior of a wife. His wife. Kind of like the way swearing would be frowned upon in a good Christian household. There are just certain ways that are wordlessly agreed upon and upheld, she supposes.

She can almost hear his voice within the look he tosses her as he leaves the bed:

'It's just not very becoming. Not ladylike.'

Hypocrite. How he loved fucking her in all her uncouth glory just minutes prior.

Nonetheless, she makes a mental note to conceal that tawdry part of herself better from here on out.

Yes, hide it.

Hide all of it.
