Chris and Cathy met on line and fell for each other almost with in minutes of their first meeting. They had spent hours chatting about the many things they both had in common in their unhappy marriages. Neither of them had expected the instant attraction they would find for each other. Nor did either of them expect the release of emotions that culminated in the hurried lovemaking they would share the next day in the back seat of Chris’s truck. These were two people that started as not much more then pen pals and this was not the original plan. Everything about them seemed to be an almost natural fit. The first time in the truck was heated and hurried but it was only a few days later that they met again. This time Chris took Cathy properly and made love to her slowly and very tenderly. He felt tenderness towards her and an urge to protect her that he had never felt with anyone before. Cathy also seemed to be opening herself completely to Chris.
The relationship became more heated and more involved. They still spent hours chatting online but now their chats were being taken to a higher level. With the mutual sense of humor they both shared and the teasing between the two of them, they were almost always in a state of constant arousal. They had intimate meetings at least once a week as well as lunch at least a couple times each week. The sex between them was wonderful. With the feeling of closeness escalating their lovemaking was taking on a new form. It became even gentler, deliberate and involved hours of just being in each other’s arms. They found a few places that were private and out of the way to meet, one being an Italian restaurant where they could order lunch and sit unnoticed as long as they chose to. Many of the lunch meetings would end with them parked in a quiet area where they spend time in each other’s arms thinking of the next time they could make love. On occasions they also lost control and let themselves go to the point that they made love again in the backseat. Even in that sort of a situation it was always tender and loving.
Something was building between them and neither was making any attempt nor did they seem to care about anything except each other. Chris looked for Cathy online almost within minutes of the time he could get free and Cathy was spending every minute she could online. They managed to remain discreet and knew each other’s schedules and knew when to phone. They also put together a usable excuse for knowing each other should they be seen. Chris became a customer of Cathy’s by using some of the products that Cathy marketed. As well as the value Chris gained from the products it gave them a reason to know each other. It became their built in explanation should they ever be spotted together in a parking lot or in a restaurant. It also gave both of them an excuse or story should any communication between them be spotted by their spouses. They had all the bases covered should they be spotted during a casual lunch meeting. Of course nothing could ever explain to anyone except themselves some of the times they had together. These were the times that they made love and how they spent afterwards letting the passion subside as they slowly cooled in each other’s arms with their bodies molded to each other with their lips touching.
It was during one of these times when each of them were in the melancholy mood knowing they would soon have to leave each other and this beautiful fantasy life they had developed for themselves. They knew they would soon return to reality. As they spoke quietly almost in a whisper Cathy was saying how she had feelings she didn’t know how to handle. Chris then went on about how much he looked forward to his time with her and how thoughts of her were consuming him. Cathy looked into his eyes and asked “what is it your saying Chris”? He swallowed, caught his breath and softly whispered, “I am saying Cathy, that I am in love with you but I’m sure you already know that”. He looked down and saw the tears form in Cathy’s eyes as she pressed her head into his neck and held Chris so close he could feel her heart beating. She finally released her hold on Chris, moved back and with teary eyes managed to smile. Then Chris heard what he so much wanted to hear from his Sweetheart as she softly whispered, “Chris I love you so much”. The next words she spoke were powerful in meaning but yet so timid in their simplicity. Those words were “what are we going to do”?
Although neither had happy marriages they were still involved with children and family to such an extent that the idea of breaking their marriages was not an option at this time. Chris knew that if things ever came apart in his platonic marriage he would come after Cathy and would be relentless but this was not the time. So they decided they would be lovers and continue to spend their time together giving each other what neither of them had in their lives. They both looked upon what they had as something that was filling a large void. They would contain and manage their love but would never attempt to control it when they were together. It had developed into something far beyond what some might choose to describe as a simple affair. This was no simple affair in the minds of either of them as they both considered them selves to be people in love sharing each other. They agreed to continue with utmost caution as neither of them wanted to hurt anyone and would keep their passionate love hidden to all but themselves. To this point they had only shared the few stolen hours with each other during the day. On many occasions they discussed how nice it would be to spend a whole night in each other’s arms and how wonderful it would be to wake up together. With this in mind they began to put together a plan as to how they would get to go away with each other
