It was a relationship neither of them wanted, but both of them were happy to have each other. She was a happily married woman with needs. He was married to a woman he loved but wasn't happy.
Lori married John nearly 15 years ago. They fought like all couples do, with long lasting make up sessions. Her two kids took a lot of her free time. It wasn't the glamorous life that she wanted, but it was enough to help her get through the day.
A couple of years back, John had an accident while riding his motorcycle. It was a serious accident that left several bones broken, but nothing more broken than his spirit. When his bones were healed, everything became better except in the bedroom. They had sex every couple of weeks, but he didn't have the aggressiveness that she sometimes craved. She kept her mood in check with the use of her toys and some great online role play.
Tim and Jessica had been married nearly as long. Their sexual issues had nothing to do with an accident of any kind. Tim never had to try hard to get a date. Even less effort to just have sex. He had a reputation that preceded him that many avoided; the ones that didn't avoid it helped perpetuate the reputation.
Unfortunately for Tim, Jessica was too self conscious to enjoy sex on a regular basis. Their sex life had dwindled to about a handful of occasions a year. If it wasn't for the fact that he loved her, he would have left long ago.
His main outlet for his frustrations was chatting on the internet and writing short stories. He had no problem switching genres or focus, but his favorite theme as of late had been the use of force.
Tim and Lori met in a chat room one night. The talking progressed as it often does in a chat room, and soon they began to chat outside of it using instant messenger. The topic of conversation wasn't always sex, much to the dismay of Tim. However, it came up often enough that there was almost always a slight amount of tension when they talked, or at the very least, on Tim's behalf.
Tim liked the attention; he craved it more than he would care to admit. His wife loved him; of that he was sure. But everything else took priority. He felt as if it was his fault for allowing it, but after her work, the kids, stress levels, TV, depression and whatever else happened in the day, he knew he was the last priority. Tim found the chat room as an escape. Finding Lori was a fantasy. He always put effort into his words, but with Lori, it was effortless to chat and well worth the effort to try to get Lori all worked up. He would picture her enjoyment as he typed and noticed a longer than normal pause in their conversation. He hated that he read into these things because there was always the chance he was wrong, but this fantasy was his release from his hum-drum life.
After a long while of talking online, Lori bated Tim. Half jokingly, she told him that she thought he was all talk. He responded by talking about how forcefully he would take her. The first mention of her hair being pulled reminded her how she missed the way John would toss her around and have his way with her. When he mentioned slapping her ass, her insides tensed with an almost forgotten pleasure. When he continued on, she knew that she and her toys had a long night ahead of her.
This continued for months; not as often as Tim would have enjoyed. However, it happened as often as Lori either could forget about their current relationship statuses or the desire couldn't be avoided. Tim was worried that after so much time, it would be monotonous to Lori, but he still enjoyed the conversations and play when they spent their online time together. Lori wasn't nearly as bored as Tim would have believed. She was, however, apprehensive. Every time she felt the urge to take it further, she would mention Tim's wife, and that would put a wet blanket on the situation.
One week, Lori felt the pressure continually building instead of subsiding after one of their evening conversations. It worried her enough that she contemplated not checking her computer for a couple of days. But after a few hours of that, she realized that she would just have more anticipation.
Tim's excitement, too, was growing. He passed time with various other people in the chat room. None of them contained the stimulating elements that he became accustomed to with Lori.
After a couple of hours online, Lori popped in and did her best to keep the conversation casual. It didn't take more than ten minutes for the avenue of sex to open up and the both of them enjoyed the conversation. Instead of the normal release she felt, when their episode concluded, she was as anxious as ever.
Instead of her customary comments of leaving to finish taking care of her frustration and for Tim to have a good night, Lori remained quiet after the scene for quite a few moments. Shortly after, she said that Tim was probably all talk. Tim laughed and sent one of the many smiley faces at his disposal before telling her that if he had her address, he would prove it in the morning.
More silence followed. After what seemed like an eternity, she gave him an address and told him what time he could arrive and what time he had to leave so that it didn't interfere with her family life. Now it was Lori's turn to wait. After a couple of minute he gave her his cell phone number and said to call if she changed her mind. Otherwise, he would see her as planned.
The next morning, he drove two towns over to finally meet her in person. She made it clear that small talk wasn't on the agenda, which was more than fine by him. He didn't want her to back out after all this time.
She kept looking out the window to see when Tim would arrive. She was both anxious and excited. She was proud of herself to not call him and call it off, even though she was more nervous than she had been in years. She figured it would be more than understandable to have a onetime fling after all that she had been put through; at least, that was her rationale for putting this plan into motion.
