He stopped the car on a deserted country road, calmly turned the ignition off, then turned to look at her. His eyes trawled over her. She was wringing wet, and her dress clung to her skin, clearly outlining the shape of her slim, shivering thighs. Push-starting a car in the dead of night was not her idea of fun.
'I'm cold,' Sissy said, wrapping her arms around herself, and spoiling his view of her erect nipples, tugged out of her breasts by a combination of wet and cold.
His turned away from her and stared out of the windscreen. It was as good a time as any, he told himself. Best get it over with.
'I'm leaving you,' he said.
She felt like he'd punched her in the guts.
'I've found someone else,' he added.
He was smiling now. He was enjoying seeing her squirm with fear, and knew the kind of thoughts tumbling around inside her head.
He unzipped his trousers and took out his thick semi-erect penis. She looked down at the shining tip. A bead of translucent pre-cum oozed out of the tiny slit on the top and glistened in the glow of the courtesy light.
'She swallows, a real woman. I call her my little zinc worshipper!'
She hated herself the moment she said it. 'I can do that.'
'It's something else too,' he said with a smirk.
She either didn't hear, or didn't want to hear, too intent was she to make could her miserable failings. Twisting sideways, she sought out his cock with her cold clammy hands. He leaned back in his seat and put his hands behind his neck, interlocking the fingers, never one to forgo a free ride.
She gripped his cock in one hand, and stared at it for a moment as if it were a lifeline to save her marriage and rescue her from the fears of homelessness, helplessness, and destitution, then she flicked her tongue over the bead of pre-cum before taking him fully into her mouth.
Her mouth felt deliciously cold and slippery and she sank down onto him. He felt her lips tighten around the base of his shaft. She almost gagged, but then she was sliding her lips up again. She plunged herself down on the next cycle, then pulled up, gripping his slimy cock with her lips so hard it seemed like she was trying to yank it out of his body by the root. But then she loosened her grip and was going down again. He could feel the pressure building. Sparks of electricity began to explode deep within him, the veins in his cock throbbed madly β she could them thickening inside her mouth. He could not remember a time when it had felt so hard. His legs began to tremble, and a low moan of ecstasy escaped from his mouth.
His cock bucked once, then thick wads of sperm hosed into her mouth. Sissy kept on sucking though, milking every drop, forcing herself not to gag. His hand clamped down on the back of her head to keep her there, just in case she pulled away before he was done. When the pain of his orgasm became too much, he when it felt like he would rupture, he lifted her head away from him by the hair.
She sat up, cupping her hand to her mouth in case any of his seed spilled out and ruined the upholstery of his beloved car. Then she closed her eyes and swallowed the glutinous, shellfish-like effluent.
When his breathing and heart rate ha simmered down enough for him to return to reality, he saw her smiling at him. 'Good?' she said.
'Not bad,' he said, a major compliment by his standards. 'Well don't just sit there grinning, dry it and put it away!'
Her eagerness to comply disgusted her, but she did as she was told anyway. She had begun to realise that her future security depended not just upon obedience, but that he did not suspect that she might be suffering from "sense of humour failure," a capital offence as far as he was concerned.
She dried his cummy cock on the skirt of her dress, then tucked it away back inside his trousers and zipped him up.
'Careful!' he said.
She zipped slowly. Zip too fast and experience reminded her that she really would get a punch in the guts.
'I'm still leaving you,' he chuckled. 'God you're pathetic!'
'But!..' she blurted out, dismay turning her pretty features sour.
'But, you're too fat. That's the something else. Will you ever learn?'
He sneered at her, then tried to start the car. The engine coughed once, then cranked uselessly round a few times before finally dying. The courtesy light faded gradually to nothing.
Sissy pushed for all she was worth, tears streaming down her face. He kept swearing at her to "put her back into it," and "stop moaning", and even promised her that he would stay if she managed to start it. So she pushed until she was exhausted, but the car would not start.
A light appeared out of the darkness. Abandoning his car, he grabbed his case from the boot then marched towards it, hoping to seek refuge from the cold dark night. Sissy trailed behind him, too frightened to stay behind alone in the dark, too frightened to be without him, even if it was only for one last night.
'A stroke of luck,' he beamed, when he reached the door.
He knocked once and waited. No one answered, so he knocked again, louder. But still n one answered. He stooped low to call through the letterbox, but when he lifted the flap, the door swung gently open on its own volition.
He poked his head inside, had a look, then entered the house proper and called out. 'Hello? Anyone home?'
There was no answer.
'We can't stay here,' Sissy said.
'You stay in the car if you want to,' he said. 'I'm cold, and I'm tired. I need a bed, no one's in, so what's the harm?'
He didn't wait for her to answer. Why should he? As far as he was concerned, this particular wife was a piece of yesterday. He would find a bed to rest, maybe some food to fill his belly, and tomorrow he would begin his new life with his mistress. Women, he was fond of saying to anyone stupid enough to listen, should be changed like the oil on a car.'
The house was old, and warm, a place of wooden lintels, low ceilings, and subtle imperfections. Nothing Sissy looked at appeared straight and level, but it gave the house a charm that delighted her, and made her feel at home. For the first time in as long as she could remember she could feel her spirits rising.
'What a hole' he said.
The bedrooms were at the top of a steep flight of stairs. The wood creaked below her naked, blistered feet.
'Riddled with woodworm,' he grumbled. 'What a dump!'
There were two rooms. They were simply furnished, containing only the essentials of a place of rest and recuperation. A bed, a bedside table, and a dresser. Each had a child's toy doll sitting on it, one dark, one blond. Intimate pools of candlelight illuminated the rooms.
He chose the bigger of the two rooms.
'We're not sleeping together,' he said, 'You're tooβ¦'
'Fat,' Sissy murmured, finishing the sentence for him.
'You're learning,' he said.
'If I can learn, why can't I stay?'
'Because at the end of the day, you can't teach an old dog, new tricks.'
He emphasised the word "dog", then disappeared into his bedroom, slamming the door in her face.
Sissy retired to her own bedroom. She sat down on the edge of the bed, and inhaled. The scent of the crisp white sheets helped cleanse the memory of his filthy cum from her nostrils.
She peeled her sodden dress off, then slipped into bed and pulled the covers tight against her throat. It was the first time she had slept alone for years, but no matter how much her desire was for sleep, it refused to visit her. She tossed and turned for an hour, then as a last resort, threw the covers back, swung her legs out of bed and padded across the floor towards the doll. She picked it up with both hands and smiled.
'You're pretty,' she said, then glanced quickly around, afraid that he might hear.
Back in bed, she held the door against her naked body and closed her eyes. Sleep came easily now that she was no longer alone. Her dreams were unusually vivid; it was as if she was aware that she was dreaming, a delightful lucidity that combined the best elements of life with impossible fantasy.
Feeling hot, she pushed the covers from her body, and turned onto her side. A hand brushed her hair away from her face. She opened her eyes, and discovered she was looking at a beautiful woman lying next to her. The woman smiled back.
'Who are you?' she said.
'You mean to say you don't know who you take to bed?' she teased gently.
She frowned. 'I took a doll to bed,' she replied.
