With our relationship now resembling an episode of Star Trek (boldly fucking where no one has fucked before), it was soon time for us to make the next logical leap - to get a hotel room for one of our rendezvous.
The idea came about when I was telling Sara about my family's plan for a vacation. Since my wife and kids had a little extra time off for the big family visit back home, and work needed me back sooner than I could accommodate by traveling with the family, I had a one-week window where I was going to be home by myself after returning from the trip. I half-jokingly threw out the idea of us getting a hotel room for the day when I flew back, when Sara's eyes lit up.
"You know," she said, "I could just drive to the airport, pick you up, save you the cab fare and we could put that toward a hotel room where we could have some real fun."
At first, I was put aback. I didn't want to be 'that guy', running to a hotel with my mistress. Then - duh - I had to remind myself that I was already 'that guy', fucking her in our cars and at work - which was probably a whole lot more risky to begin with.
So, Sara made the arrangements, and as my family vacation started coming to an end, almost time for me to travel back home, Sara's e-mails came more frequently. She started to come up with ideas of what we could do with our leisurely hours of alone time.
Top of her list: She wanted me to pop her anal cherry.
Oh. My. God. When I read those words, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This was the ultimate taboo that I was told would never happen by the women I had been with, and here was Sara, this gorgeous woman who wanted me, begging for it.
What I shouldn't have done was read about having anal sex online. All the advice on the women's websites was to go slowly and gently for the first time. There were horror stories written by women about how painful and disastrous the experience was, and admonitions from self-proclaimed sex experts warning to proceed slowly and with great caution. I was just about paranoid when the 'big moment' came.
The whole time on the flight, I played the scenario through my mind. What would happen when that 'big moment' came? Would I be able to overcome my anxiety and perform?
When I landed at the airport on a rainy, dreary day, I quickly grabbed my bags and hustled to the main terminal. There was Sara, perfectly made up and looking fine. We kissed each other quickly, wondering if anyone we knew who could recognize us would be at the airport. We held held hands nervously, giggling like middle school kids on our way to our first dance as we walked to the car and headed off to our hotel room.
