"What are you thinking right now?" Samantha asked quizzically looking into my eyes from the other end of the sofa.
"I'd love to be able to answer that one Sam but, I don't think I can honestly tell you."
Samantha tilted her head to one side.
"Tell me Mark, I really want to know."
I had known Samantha all of my life having grown up together as kids, gone to the same school together and now, as adults, often gone out together as friends. For as long as I can remember, I had always had a secret crush on her but, I had never had the bottle to tell her how I felt. Samantha had clearly been oblivious to my feelings and had moved on with her life; she had married her boyfriend about 2 years earlier and seemed happy in married life. I certainly didn't want to do anything to spoil her marriage no matter how I secretly felt about her.
Samantha poked me in the arm breaking me out of my trance-like state.
"Mark spit it out and just tell me!"
"I can't!" I replied
"Why not?"
"Because if I tell you, I know it will change things between us!"
Samantha sat in silence looking me in the eyes for a few minutes and I could sense that something was about to change between us.
Samantha reached out and took hold of my hand before breaking her silence.
"Please Mark...just tell me the truth and let's get everything out into the open." As Samantha spoke, she gently rubbed my hand reassuringly.
I took a deep breath unsure of whether I could honestly tell her what was on my mind.
"Please Mark," Samantha urged softly again.
"Ok," I replied.
"Promise that this won't change anything between us?"
"I can't promise that," Samantha replied, "but we will always be friends Mark."
"Ok," I said before pausing briefly.
"I was thinking how much I'd like to do things with you."
Samantha smiled.
"What sort of things?"
"Sexual things."
Samantha's eyes seemed to light up as she heard my words.
"Oh really. So you do think about me in a sexual way then?"
"I have done for a very long time." Having finally admitted how I felt to Samantha, it felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
Samantha smiled and gently stroked my hand a couple of times.
"I want to know everything," Samantha said as she inched across the sofa until she was sat right next to me. The scent of her womanly fragrance became so much more intense now that we were so close and I wasn't quite sure how open and honest I should be with her.
"What do you mean?"
"Just tell me in your own words what things you have thought about doing with me."
"But you're married Sa...." Samantha cut me off mid-sentence
"I only want talk about it. There's nothing wrong with that is there?"
"I guess not," I replied uncertainly.
"Let me make it easier for you," Samantha continued, "just answer me this one question to start with. If there was one thing you could do with me or to me right now, what would it be?"
"That's kind of an awkward question to answer Sam," I replied very uneasy with admitting to her what I would really like to do.
"Why is it awkward?"
"I'm not sure I want you to know that and I have no idea how to put it into words without being crude and maybe offending you."
Samantha giggled to herself.
"I won't bite you Mark and I won't be offended. Just describe it to me like you would do to one of the guys down the pub."
I hesitated still weighing up whether to open up to Samantha in a way I had never done with a woman before.
"Ok, I think that if I could do anything with you right now, I think I would umm...." I paused.
"Yes," Samantha urged me.
"I think I would have you strip naked and let me explore your naked body."
Samantha smiled reassuringly.
"That wasn't too hard was it?"
"I guess not," I replied feeling a stirring in my jeans. There was something arousing about being this open with Samantha.
"Have you wanted to do that for a long time or was it just a spur of the moment thought?"
"I've wanted to for as long as I can remember," I replied honestly.
"I've been fascinated by your body and always wondered what it was like beneath your clothes."
Samantha now did something I would never have expected. She put her arm around me, pulled me close and kissed me softly on the lips.
I was left in a state of dazed confusion.
"How would you reply if I said let's do it?" Samantha whispered into my ear.
Her words had an immediate effect on me as my cock instantly stiffened inside my jeans and started to strain against my boxer shorts.
I swallowed loudly and noticed Samantha giggle at my reaction.
"Do you want to or not?"
I couldn't believe what was happening.
"Sam you're married and I don't think your husband would appreciate us doi.." Again Samantha cut me off mid-sentence.
"Put my marriage and my husband out of your mind and let me worry about what is and isn't ok for us to be doing."
I didn't know how to respond. I had never in my wildest dreams expected anything like this to happen between Samantha and I. The thought of actually seeing Samantha naked and maybe even exploring her naked body was arousing beyond belief.
"I'd flippin' love to," I replied enthusiastically.
Samantha pulled me tightly against her in an embrace that lasted for a few seconds.
"I think you should probably draw the curtains before we go any further."
