The funeral prayers were just about to end. I turned my eyes without turning my head to locate him in the front row. All of the Guild members were in their headscarves and were behaving at their most holy. You would think they have no husbands with whom they sleep naked at night!
I have been fighting with myself for two weeks now. I am married, and am born again; I should not be feeling this powerful attraction for this former elder of the church. But I want him so badly! Whenever he touches me on my upper arm, or my tummy area looking into my eyes, I wish we were not in a public place so that he could do more to me. I so want him to make love to me.
As people take their tea and snacks, he searches for me with his eyes without moving his head. When our eyes meet across the field of people I feel a thrill of pleasure.
He gives me a meaning glance as he stands up and heads for the gate. According to our plan I should follow him in a few minutes. He will leave his gate unlocked for me.
I leave the homestead and climb the slight slope towards his home. Finding the gate unlocked I enter. He is waiting for me just inside and conducts me into his house. As soon as the door closes we jump onto each other. His kiss is even sweeter than I had imagined.
"You came, darling!" He holds me tightly. "Thank you so much! Today I will satisfy you beyond anything you have ever known!" I cannot remember when I was held like that, not even when my husband was wooing me, so may years ago.
I do not know how he removes his clothes to leave him in only his underwear. With expert fingers he unbuttons my top and unzips my skirt. You would think he had dressed me, so easily does he work. Now he is rubbing my bare tummy and making me moan.
"You have maintained such a beautiful figure Bess," he says to me, making me feel so special, while kissing the nape of my neck. Nobody has ever been there and the sensations are wholly new.
