First, a warning - this story is based around a "Loving wives" theme. If that gives you issues, you are going to have to grind your way to the end, some 50,000 words away before you can grumble. Ask yourself, is it really worth the effort?
The second warning is, the first 2 1/2 sections are substantially the same as an earlier submission of mine "Emergence".

Chapter5
When she quietened, he sat up, and drew her upright. She was limp and sobbing. He pulled her onto his lap, and cradled her until she quietened. He could feel her drenched vulva against him, and he began to harden again. Still again, she focussed on his face. There was a moment of silence, And then she fastened her lips onto his mouth, sucking like a leech. Her tongue was probing everywhere into his mouth, seeking every last flavour of herself. When the attack was over, he stared into her visibly shaken eyes, and said:
"I had a feeling you'd like that."
Her eyes were brimming he noted. She was beginning to grind her wetness against him, ready for more. He kissed her again, joking.
"Not bad for a respectable married woman"
She remained silent, running the palm of his hand over her chest. Rachael had found herself unable to answer. She was still coming to terms with the implications of the frenzy in which she's found herself, in which nothing, but nothing it seemed, had mattered to her but his tongue on her clitoris. God, if she could get that out of hand...
She forced a response from herself.
"You ain't seen nothing yet."
"You see, that's what I envy about you Respectable Married Women. If I come twice, the evening's over. You come three or four, and you're barely warmed up."
"Mr Y. I hope you're not implying that I've got some sort of excessive sexual appetite. I just want you to have me -- oh, another four or five times, and you'll be perfectly free to go."
The pressure of her pelvis on his cock was increasing. It dawned on him that she found this talk arousing.
"I'll do my best, Mrs X. I'd hate not to live up to expectations You have standards to keep up, I'm sure. Do you always inspire your lovers to such high achievements?"
She didn't respond. He felt her head drop onto his shoulder. There was a sudden change in the atmosphere, in the way her body was pressing against him; she continued to thrust her pelvis against his, but elsewhere it seemed now more a quest for comfort, than lust that was driving her. Then he realised. Her shoulders were again shaking; she was crying. Discomfited, he could think of nothing to do but hold her, and then rock her gently from side to side, cosseting her like a child.
She broke from him. At no stage looking him in the eye, she rushed into the bathroom. Once inside, Rachael broke down into a full-fledged bawl. Curling in a corner, she huddled in on herself.
"Why now?" She found herself pondering. Just moments ago, she'd most blissful; feeling the afterglow of an orgasm more consummate than she'd imagined possible, feeling increasingly lecherous for his cock to be inside her again. Then, without warning, a tsunami of emotions had crashed down over her; renewed insecurity, horror at her own excess, fear for its effects on her marriage and family...
There was a gentle knock on the door. It opened. She turned away, not wanting to be seen in this condition. She was aware of him kneeling next to her, his soothing tone.
"Hey, what's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have?"
Rachael shook her head. She just wanted him to go, to leave her. He seemed a decent man, how could he want any contact with a trollop like her? Almost as decent, probably as Alistair, and she'd...Another wave of sobs overtook her. She was vaguely aware of being lifted, carried like a child and placed back on the bed. He spread the duvet over her, and cradled her. He was stroking her hair.
After some minutes, she found her voice.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...how can you bear to touch me..."
There was a gentle humour in his reply:
"I've been touching you all over all night, and it's been very pleasant so far. Now, what's wrong? Tell me."
"I can't."
"Yes, you can. Whatever it is."
His words seemed to her to be overflowing with compassion. In spite of herself, she pressed her cheek against his chest, like a frightened toddler seeking the protection of it's parent.
"Oh, God...where can I begin. I'm a fraud, apart from anything else. I'm not some rapacious slut, I've never done anything like this before. I'm not Mrs X, I'm not some sexy older woman who does this sort of thing for kicks, I'm.."
Once she'd started, there seemed nothing she could do to stop the words tumbling forth. She tried to explain who she really was, why she'd done what she had tonight. How unlike her it was to have been so aroused, so lewd, such a slut; of the need to prove herself, to overcome the insults, and perceptions, including her own...
Rachael had no idea how long she'd babbled for, when words were finally exhausted. He still held her, and after an what seemed like an age, his reaction was soft-spoken:
"So let me get this straight. You were convinced you weren't attractive enough to make men want to have you; if you were, you couldn't unwind enough to enjoy it; and if you did, you'd be no good at it. And now you've done it, you think you shouldn't have"
She nodded, mutely.
He dropped back against the pillow, taking her with him, and lifting her chin to face him
"Mrs X. I don't know about that last one. But, as to the first three, you couldn't be more wrong." In a small voice "Not Mrs "X". Rachael."
"Rachael, then. First, you've got the most fantastic body; it wasn't only in the bar I noticed it, you know. All four of us at that window commented on your arse and legs. And I know know that the rest of you is awesome, too. These, especially."
He lightly stroked her left breast.
