Theirs was a relationship that was behind closed doors. It had to be that way. They both knew that. There were times all they both wanted was to come clean but they knew that wasn't possible. It would hurt far too many people. People they had known for years and people they love.
The very thought of him made her wet. There was just something about him. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. She couldn't explain it. Either could he. It was exactly the same for him. It had been that way since the first day they met all those years ago. But they had never acted on it. Until recently.
They'd known each other for years. They knew the same people. Had friends in common. She'd moved to Hong Kong soon after she married and hadn't seen him for years. He'd visited a few times but she always found an excuse not to be there: a girls trip to Singapore or a spa retreat on Koh Samui. She just couldn't face him. But now she was back in her home town. And so was he. Her divorce wasn't quite finalized. And he'd been divorced for years.
It had all started innocently enough. They'd run in to each other in the grocery store. They'd awkwardly kissed and hugged and before she knew it they had arranged drinks for the following Tuesday.
What was she going to wear? It felt like a date but it wasn't. Was it? They were mates. It was just old friends catching up. Yeah. Friends. What was she worrying about. It's just two old friends meeting up after a few years.
But the spark was there. She could feel it. From the instant he put his hand on her back abs kisses her on the cheek. It was in the casual way he touched her arm when he was talking to her. The sparkle in his eyes. They both knew where this would end up.
Years before she'd bared her soul to him. She's been a bit drunk but in vino veritas. She's told him how she felt. How she thought about him all the time. How all she wanted was to be with him. Have him inside her. He admitted he felt the same. He'd wanted her from the first time he saw her. She invaded his mind. He masturbated about her. It was her face he saw when he came. But the timing was so wrong as they were both with other people. She'd run away from him in floods of tears. And two weeks later she sat in a church and watched as he married someone else. And then a month after that, in the very same church, she married his brother.
Drink back at mine? He said. Yeah alright was her response. He knew he shouldn't have asked and she knew she shouldn't go. But he did and she went anyway.
They sat round the breakfast bar, And grabbing his hands she leant forward and kissed him. A soft exploratory kiss at first which became more demanding and passionate. He was good. Soft lips. Not too much stubble. Abs as he misses her she could feel him massage her back.
