Monday morning came and John got himself washed and dressed. He told Hillary that he was going to work, she grunted, rolled over and wrapped herself up in the duvet.
Sasha woke up at nine a.m. She showered, dressed and had breakfast in anticipation of John's arrival. She had put on a short denim skirt, a tight black t-shirt and fishnet tights. She wanted to impress John, she wanted him to ravish her body, she wanted to bask in the sexual energy that had built up between them.
John pulled onto Sasha's driveway. He checked himself in the rear view mirror, ran his hand through his hair and got out. He walked to the door, each step getting more and more excited, and more nervous. He didn't understand the nerves, he had been cheating on Hillary for months now and, not since the first time with Rachel, he hadn't felt anything other than pleasure from the experiences. When he got to the door he hesitated before pressing the door bell. His hand hovered over it for thirty seconds, it felt like an age to him. Finally John plucked up the courage to press the button, and then he waited.
Sasha looked up from her book as she heard the doorbell. She put her book down on the coffee table, stood up, brushed herself down and breathed a heavy sigh. This is it, she thought. A million thoughts went through her head β will he want me, what if i'm no good, what if, what if... She put the thoughts to the back of her mind and walked to the door. "Hi, come in" she said as she opened the door.
"Thanks, you look amazing."
Sasha led John into the kitchen. "Would you like a drink?"
"Please, tea?"
"Sure." Sasha switched the kettle on. John walked up behind her and put his arms around her, Sasha flinched slightly and then turned to face him. "I'm so nervous."
"Don't worry, we'll take things at your speed."
