This is the second part of a three-part story, as you probably could have guessed by the title. Please read the first part before reading this one. Although this part could stand on its own, you'll have much more insight into the characters if you start at the beginning.
Like many of my stories this one takes time to develop the characters before getting to the sex. If that's not what you're looking for, cool, but you might want to go on to a different story. Much of this story is concerned with FF and FFM sex, which is very much a fantasy of mine.
All characters in this story are at least 18 years old and take part in all activities described with full consent. After reading this story please take a moment to rate it and leave a comment. Constructive feedback is sort of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for a lot of writers. Thank you!

For Want of a Snow Blower, Pt. 2
If you read the first part of my story you know about how I met my wife, Jackie, while we were in school. She was perfect for me - smart, sexy, and exciting. We were married as soon as we graduated, and we lived an ideal bohemian existence as we both got our graduate degrees. We only had money for the rent on our little hole-in-the-wall apartment and the food we put on the card table we used in place of a kitchen table. Going out to eat - hell, even going to the movies - was an impossible luxury. So, we spent all of our spare time with each other, and as crazy-in-love newlyweds will do we had sex all the time. We were both virgins when we met, but we certainly made up for lost time. We tried everything, every way, every time: oral, anal, outdoors, quickies, drawn-out sessions that lasted until we were both exhausted.
Then we got our graduate degrees, and we ended up in Syracuse. We had great jobs and a great little house, but it was a traumatic move for a couple from the Southwest. We settled into our new jobs and our new routines - Jackie as a junior professor of American literature at Syracuse University, me as a high school librarian. Jackie was working constantly, almost frantically trying to prove that she belonged. It got lonely pretty quickly.
When the first real snow storm hit in the middle of December, we were woefully unprepared. Jackie struggled off to teach her classes, while I spent my first "snow day" breaking my back trying to shovel the heavy, wet accumulation from our long, steep driveway. Then a snow angel appeared in the form of a neighborhood girl who knew how to shovel snow a lot better than I. She helped me with the driveway and, when she got locked out of her own house, I invited her in to get warm.
It was a bittersweet experience for her. She had spent a lot of time in our house growing up. Her best friend had lived there. They had played together, dressed-up together, and even cleaned the driveway together on many occasions. Then they had fallen in love, and when the other girl's parents found out they had moved away.
So, there we were, snowed in, a lonely twenty-five-year-old guy and a heartbroken high school senior. We talked and laughed and comforted one another, and the comfort eventually became a kiss, and the kiss became the hottest sex I had had in months. Delaney hadn't had sex with a guy since she was fifteen, and being the captain of the crew team, she had plenty of energy to spare. More than that, she needed me. I felt needed for the first time since we had moved to Syracuse. I should have thought about Jackie, but I really didn't. Not until we were done, and Delaney collapsed on top of me making satisfied noises deep in her chest, and I looked over her shoulder and saw Jackie standing there.
The University had let all their employees go early in light of the snow emergency. She was standing there in the door to the bedroom, snow melting and dripping off her coat and hat, eyes wide as saucers, not believing what she was watching. Her gloved hands were over her mouth, trying to hold in the shock and pain and horror. Then, believe me, she let it all out. Delaney was over six feet tall and she towered over Jackie, but she got into her clothes and got out of there with her head down and at a dead run. I wasn't so lucky.
When you've just hurt somebody as badly as they've ever been hurt in their life, somebody you love, how do you explain it to them? Even I couldn't understand what happened. How had I ended up fucking a high schooler here, in the bed I shared with my wife? Sure, sure, I was lonely and hurting and horny, but how could I? Needless to say, the rest of that snowy day hadn't gone well. There were tears, and anger, and outrage, and enough hurt to last the rest of our lives. I wanted to just hold her and make it better, but my touching her was the last thing she wanted. She eventually made the point that she was lonely and horny, too. She missed me just as much as I missed her. She was as concerned as I had been. She needed to do her research and writing and to prepare her lectures, but she needed me just as much. All of those nights when I had just gone up to bed so that she could stay up late and get a bit more work done; it turns out I should have insisted she come with me on occasion. If only I had closed her laptop and pushed her books aside and maybe even just taken her right there on the office floor. It's something we...I...would have done when we were back in our Tucson apartment. Why hadn't I thought of it here? Eventually I got mad, too. If she was so horny, why hadn't she come on to me? Why was it my responsibility? Of course, responsibility or not, in the end I was the one who had crossed the line.
The two weeks left before Christmas were even colder in the house than outside. It wasn't that she refused to talk to me or gave me the cold shoulder. It was that she seemed defeated. We interacted. We got through our days. We did our work. But the spark was gone. I tried to talk about what had happened; hoping that we could resolve something or even that she'd just get angry again. Anything was better than this listlessness. Nothing helped. She didn't forgive me, but she didn't want to keep talking about it, either.
Needless to say, the holidays weren't very merry and bright. We didn't have the money for a lot of decorations and we weren't planning on spending Christmas in Syracuse, anyway. The house remained cold, bare, and dark, even while our neighbors all tried to out-do one another with extravagant light shows.
One of the benefits of working in education is getting the week between Christmas and New Year off. We had planned to fly west and spend time with both of our families - mine for Christmas and hers for New Years. We ended up changing our plans and taking separate holiday breaks. My mother-in-law worked for an airline so changing the tickets wasn't a problem. On the 21
st
Jackie flew home to Anaheim. I had two more days until school ended for me, and they were the loneliest days of my life. All of the kids and staff at school were totally jazzed for break, but each night I came home to what felt like a cold, dark cavern. On Christmas Eve morning I drove to the airport, parked in the long-term lot, and caught my flight back to Tucson.
