I wrote this story 15 years ago for another site.
This story is based upon true events that took place over a period of about 9 months. I have condensed several of our trysts into one night of passion.
The real person that "Scott" is based upon passed away in 2015. "Clare" and I ended our relationship years ago. I have not seen her since "Scott" died.
***********
Clare is married to Scott. Scott is my best friend; we've known each other since we were teenagers.
My story takes place in the late seventies.
It was March, you know that time of year when spring isn't here yet; you're sick of winter and just getting over the February blahs.
My wife had left me the previous December and taken our son with her. Something about needing to find herself, and oh "Merry Christmas dear!" Bah Humbug!
Scott and Clare knew I was feeling low so they organized a party at my place -- after all I had the space now and no one would be disturbed by the noise.
The party had been a good idea -- I was feeling a bit better even if I was slightly less sober than when the evening began.
Now, everyone had gone home except Scott and Clare. They'd stayed to help clean up and we had ended up having a few more shooters. Scott had, as usual, had way too much to drink and had passed out. Clare and I man handled him upstairs to the guest room and put him to bed.
She was really upset with him. His drinking was becoming a problem. His recent promotion had required a lot more hours at work and resulted in a LOT more stress. She said he had never been the really affectionate type, rarely showed his romantic side and had gotten worse lately.
"I wish he'd never taken this stupid job!" she complained "Its killing our marriage"
We went downstairs and I turned on the gas fireplace. We decided to open a bottle of wine, sit on my leather couch and talk for a while.
I was getting a little maudlin and feeling sorry for myself about Lee's (my wife) leaving.
Clare said, "Frankly, I think she was nuts to leave you. You're a warm, affectionate kind of guy who takes care of his woman. I wish Scott was more like you."
We sat looking into the fire for a few minutes while I thought that over. "Did she just make a subtle pass?" I thought. Clare and I had flirted outrageously for years but I had always thought it was just good natured fun -- nothing serious. "Maybe I was wrong!? ...Nah! It's my imagination and the booze."
Just then Clare said "I'm chilled, can I sit next to you?" as she scooted over from her end of the couch.
She snuggled into my side, put her arm around my waist, looked at the fire and then looked up at me.
Clare was, to say the very least, a GOOD looking woman. She had shoulder length light brown, very fine hair (not quite "dirty" blond), big brown eyes, the face of an angel and a body men only dream about. (36D 26 36). You always had the feeling when you watched her that she had just been fucked or wanted to fuck right now. A very sexy woman!
She was wearing a pink v-neck sweater, buttoned up the front, except for the top button so she could show off that gorgeous cleavage and well washed light blue jeans that looked painted on.
I was in no shape to resist. I leaned over and kissed her.
It was like an electric shock had run through me. My heart started to pound and I started to tremble. I could tell she was feeling it too.
I rolled her on her back and just kept kissing her. It was more intoxicating than the booze I'd had all night. I just wanted to keep on kissing her. Our tongues fenced and dueled, explored each other wantonly. Our lips danced, our mouths sucked. We kissed like the spell would break if we stopped.
