Ray's non-sexual turn-ons for Sweet Girl:
Her brain:
- Ray finds Sweet Girl's intelligence so attractive.
- It was one of the qualities about her character that made him hire her as his helper in the Man Cave, and he quickly fell in love with how she sees the world.
- Things that take him hours to figure out, she can do it in seconds - math, puzzles, problems, repairs
- That moment when she's in the zone, chewing on a pen, blue-light glasses on, chalk covering her fingers, he's staring and drooling from afar.
- There's just something about her capability and self-confidence that really gets him going.
- He wants to see her take charge like that in the bedroom (and maybe wear the brainy glasses as she rides him??)
Domesticity:
- Getting to live with Sweet Girl as her life partner just gets Ray hard.
- Once they're in their house and she's happily cooking, cleaning, making babies - he just loves that.
- Not even in a "oh, she's my housewife now" kinda vibe, but he likes this new normality.
- He likes doing the dishes, the late-night feeds, the endless laundry, and letting the garden be his biggest stress.
- He can now relax and see his Sweet Girl in domestic paradise.
- With nothing much to do but live peacefully, Ray can't help but get the urge to fuck his wife, whispering how much he loves her and the life they share.
Watching her get ready:
- In every bedroom they share, Ray ensures his Sweet Girl has a corner all to herself
- He surprised her with a vanity unit on their first anniversary, and every day, he claps himself on the back for the gift of letting her get ready every morning in a spot he can view perfectly.
- She sits at the unit, applying all these lotions and potions that she doesn't need because she's beautiful anyway, but Ray stays silent - too tongue-tied to stop her.
- She's usually still wearing her pyjamas - his t-shirts or silky camis - or in her underwear (his favourite) with her hair scraped away from her pretty neck.
- If seeing her so deliciously undressed isn't a turn-off, seeing her rub lotion into her arms and chest is.
- He leers and stares with dark eyes, biting his lip as he watches from the bed.
- She's literally just there, existing, but Ray sees it differently.
- He's watching his wife become hotter and more confident before his very eyes, and it often leads to some tasty mirror sex :)
Sweet Girl's non-sexual turn-ons for Ray:
His hands:
- Sweet Girl loves Ray's hands, and not just because they play her body like a banjo.
- They're so perfect - big, soft, perfectly proportioned, veiny, and covered in a light smattering of dark hair that trails up his forearms.
- She stares when he's fiddling with something, watching how his fingers dance and bend and curl around things.
- They're strong enough to do anything she needs of him - open a jar, lift a sofa, hold their babies (god, they dwarf their children)
- Yet, despite how those hands rain down hard justice, they're only ever achingly tender with her.
- Ray would rather die than hurt his Sweet Girl, so when he's cradling her face or holding her waist, it's like watching a giant hold a teacup.
- Sweet Girl won't break, but she doesn't mind if those hand bend her a little. Preferably over a table.
Providing:
- Sweet Girl feels her tummy do a flip when Ray does something to care for their little family - in the Man Cave or elsewhere.
- He gives her money for whatever groceries she wants and then whips up a delicious dinner? He's providing.
- He not only does the laundry but goes out and buys new essentials like socks, underwear, and vests for their babies? He's providing.
- He establishes a beautiful garden for her to enjoy and builds swings and climbing frames for the children to play in? He's providing.
- Ray proves again and again that he's a good husband and the perfect man for her, simply because he actively wants to be involved in their marriage and parenthood.
- It turns her on knowing she's not going through life alone - she's got a hunky, meaty mouthful of a doofus to love
and fuck.
Driving:
- Sweet Girl never got the hypenwhen she was younger.
- Any idiot could learn how to drive a car, so she struggled to understand how such a simple skill could be attractive.
- Yet, once she sees Ray up front, she's creaming on his seats.
- He fills the space with his vast bulk, man-spreading with one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her knee or thigh.
- He wears shades and hums lowly to the tune on the radio, easily navigating the roads without so much as batting an eyelid.
- Meanwhile, she's struggling to stay calm.
- He just looks so hot and suave, and sometimes he forgets how high his hand is moving up her thigh - so close to her core she can feel the familiar heat through her jeans.
- She's been known to make him pull over, begging him to finger her in the back or, better yet, bend her over the bonnet.
- She fully gets the hype now. Completely.
- It's why Ray has taken to keeping a box of condoms and some lube in the glove box, not to mention some wet wipes and spare underwear.
