Dear Memory,
Better news, dear heart. Things are becoming clearer, I know more about myself and where and who I want to be. My life is more stable, my husband silent. To be fair, I should not make it sound to you as if he has been the unloving one in this strained relationship. He is a good man, and deserving of more than I can offer. He married me with the best of intentions… and found a cold and unwelcoming woman in his bed. It was inevitable in a way. The secret passion of my youth that was you, led me to expect the same kind of consideration that you so freely gave to me. It was naïve and unreasonable of me to expect this stranger to know the secret, inner me. It was something that I could never express, and so resented, silently, sullenly. The state of my marriage has more to do with the memories I brought to it, than any thing he did. Recent events have led me to admit this to myself at last. For years my resentment was unconscious, wrapped up as it was in thoughts and feelings that I had thought that I had left safely in the past. He learned to expect my cold sullenness, and his attitude was set by no one else but myself. My recent sudden interest in matters sexual - a stupid attempt to perform oral sex on a suddenly suspicious man… a poorly worded hint at him to try something different, like anal sex. Stupidity, pure stupidity. Attitudes of years are not changed overnight without repercussions.
The suspicions still hang heavy in the air, the raised voices of accusation have fallen silent, but there are enough unspoken thoughts to make any normal conversation a minefield. But with no evidence, and Rani's alibi, there is no more that they can do.
But there is now something else, some new sin to hide. It shames me to confess that our recent tryst has awakened the fires of lust in me. I thought them banked, subdued by time and advancing age. And now I have committed yet another transgression of respectability in my families eyes... but I am sure that yours, my hedonistic memory, will light with unbridled delight. Rani has been, still is, a dear friend. Dear enough to entrust with my dreadful, weighty secret. She is from a wealthy family, born here in the UK, an only child to liberal, westernised parents. She has led the life that I had only dreamed of. She has had lovers, remains unmarried with her thirties approaching. We met through our families, and I fear that the intention was for me to be a suitable role model for her! Instead we became firm friends, and she has been more of an influence upon me, than I on her. Over time I have grown to trust her, confide my unhappiness to her, and have urged her to take full advantage of life and of love. It appears that she has done just that. She had numerous lovers, married men among them. She had hinted at a rich sexual life, dropped casual remarks about being tied up, threesomes and foursomes. She had even told me that she had accepted money, a great deal of money, to sleep with certain wealthy men.
My current indiscretion delighted her. She was more than happy to be my alibi. I had returned to her house after you did those things to me… or the things I did to you, and she saw the change in me quite clearly. The rather prime and proper wife came home looking like someone who had been shagged within an inch of her life. Her words! She, of countless lovers, told me that she was jealous of me – and I glowed with inner pleasure. She also warned me not to let my reawakened lusts affect my relationship with my husband. I wish that I had had the strength to follow her advice. The two weeks of accusatory hell that followed made her warning prophetic. But now to the real reason for this confession.
I stayed with her last weekend, despite my families reservations. They phoned several times, simply to check that I was where I was supposed to be. But that is not the story I have to relate. I confessed to her that I was desperate to see you again… and she wanted to know more. We sat and shared a bottle of wine, and she gently pressed me for details. My hunger for you, my need to share the effect on had on me… I confess that I told her it all. My outrageous performance in that ally way. Her eyes had widened in admiring surprise when I tried to put into words, my hunger to have you inside my body, if only my mouth. My need to relive the heat and passion of a sixteen year old, delighting in making your masculine strength moan and quiver with a touch of my lips. The warmth and tenderness that flooded through my body when your sperm filled my mouth. The heady dejevu as the scent and taste of your seed gushed forth…
I needed to share the intense, pleasurable sensation of your cock thrusting into my pussy, your eyes bright with lust as you gazed down at my wide stretched, cock swallowing cunt. Your weight on me, your mouth. I told her, voice breaking, heat in my face, how you buggered me, an how I urged you on, the language I had used.
Wrapped up in my story, reliving the experience I paid little attention to the effect this was having on Rani. Or myself for that matter. A combination of wine and lust was overtaking us both… The fantasy that we had talked about more than once was now very much on the cards. Rani had hinted in the past that she had made love to women. I had been far too shocked to follow up on her non-to-subtle hints, and made a point of ignoring her. It was not something that I had ever seriously considered. The one or two times, in post coital bliss, it was a fantasy that you had talked about… but never one that I had ever entertained. You would like her. Not beautiful, but defiantly sexy. Rather skinny with a firm, full chest that men seem drawn to.
When she rose from the chair opposite me, I knew what she was going to do, and made no effort to ward her off. I just let it happen. I guess that I wanted it to happen also. My reliving of our night of passion had turned me on, at least as much as it had Rani. The difference was, she was used to doing something about it. She stopped and looked down at me. "I'm as horny as hell". There was a note of apology in her voice, but also a question. "Me too." I managed to nod, and I guess my smile must have been encouraging enough.
