Chapter 1 -- Discoveries
I watched her at the sink doing the dishes. With her back to me, I looked at how her hair fell to her shoulder blades over the red spaghetti top she was wearing. Her accompanying jeans were tight enough to show off her curves without being scandalous. My eyes roamed over her curves as her body moved and almost seemed to always sway in that way women do so well.
Elizabeth, my wife, was gorgeous. And I'm not just saying that because I was biased. She literally was model level beautiful. With long auburn hair, a longish face with an almost sharp but rounded chin and lovely cheeks that capped a glorious and almost mysterious smile. And her eyes. Those captivating brown eyes that always looked at me with such deep love and adoration.
Those eyes melted my soul. And she had a body that would easily fit in with the swimwear and lingerie models you'd see at the big fashion shows. Her breasts were just so right for her frame. Round, firm and just large enough that they accentuated anything she wore over them.
I don't think she did ever realize how absolutely stunning she is though. Something that made her even more attractive to me. She usually wore blouses and shirts that covered her pretty much entirely, usually with pants or jeans. And her dresses, even the "party" dresses were knee length or longer. Of course, I got to see her in lingerie and bikini's and yes, naked. As demure as she was in public, at home she was far more relaxed in her dress code and not at all shy with me.
As beautiful as she was, she also had all the other characteristics that made her an even more amazing woman. She was such a caring and gentle soul with an almost empathic ability to know how I was feeling and always doing her best to make me the happiest man in the world.
She was smart, and we have spent many a time discussing and debating various topics. She was more introverted, but not overly shy. She preferred quiet nights where it was just the two of us and didn't like going out clubbing or partying. She was building her career but first and foremost said she wanted to be a wife and she considered family to be more important. All in all, a perfect package. Beautiful, brainy and a reserved charm with a feminine aura.
She's always been at the top of my list of the people and things in my life I am most grateful for. To this day I often wonder what amazing deeds I must have done, in likely more than one of my past lives, to have this beautiful, caring, and amazing woman as my wife. It sometimes really did seem too good be true.
She was quite a bit younger than me. We met when she was 21 and I was 34. I had started my software company a few years prior, and she was on the team from a potential client as an intern so she would attend many of the meetings between my team and the clients. And before you start mumbling about an older man taking advantage of a younger woman, she asked me out first.
With such a beautiful young woman in the meetings, I fortunately managed to keep it all "business" although I did notice her watching at me a lot and she would always give me that soft beautiful smile when I caught her looking.
We'd had a series of meetings with the client one day, and during the lunch break I went to a little bistro near the client's offices. I saw her at the same establishment, sitting alone at a table. I greeted her, and on a lark asked if I could join her. We had an amazing lunch together. And I even convinced myself at the time that it was only in my wildest dreams that she was flirting with me during our conversation. Something she later confirmed she was in fact doing.
A few days later, I was leaving one of these meetings and had just stepped into the elevator when she called out to me. Having already pressed the floor button, I managed to stop the doors from closing, and she stepped into the elevator and handed me some papers I had left behind.
I didn't even think about the doors closing and it being unnecessary for her to be in the elevator with me. On the way down to the lobby she, quite shyly, gently put her hand on my arm and asked me if I would have dinner with her. I agreed, well duh, and we exchanged numbers. Considering that this stunningly beautiful and amazingly charming young woman had just asked me out, I still consider it a feat that I managed to keep my feet on the ground and not float out of that elevator to my car.
We went out to dinner that Friday night, and yes, it was the start of a fairytale romance. We had clicked from day one and we got, astounding and surprising to even me, married nine months later.
And for a fraction over two years, our marriage was bliss. Until two and a half months ago. I remember that evening clearly. Even down to the day of the week. It was a Tuesday. And it marked one of those events that you just knew, deep down, was a turning point in life. That night, we were standing in this very kitchen, and I pulled her into my embrace.
"I think you and I need to retire to bed." I said seductively and leaned in to kiss her.
"No." she replied, a bit too intensely, "I've had a crazy day, and I'm...I'm too tired. I just want to go to bed and get some sleep."
"Okay." I replied softly as she hurried off to the bedroom while I remained standing there processing what just happened...and how it was different.
She's turned down my attempts at initiating intimacy before of course. It does happen. But this? This was different. In smaller subtler ways. It didn't set off major klaxons in my head, but tiny alarm bells had started ringing.
As I said, she had turned me down before. But this time there was something different. Small subtle but noticeable things she's never done before. First, she had pulled away and took half a step back while I also felt her pushing against me, breaking out of my embrace. A push to create distance that really felt like, not only was she not interested in the intimacy I was offering, but she seemed disgusted by it. The next small but noticeable thing was that she didn't look at me and kept her eyes turned down. Before this evening, when my wife had put the kibosh on my attempts at intimacy, she always looked me in the eyes. At least, as she was turning me down, that look told me that she still loved me. And were her eyes getting teary?
So, there I stood, alarm bells faintly ringing in the far distance of my brain. But I rationalized it. Maybe she really did have a bad day? She probably was not feeling well. Of course, I tried again, and again, multiple times per week with the same result. Although she had got better about pulling away from me, the one thing that never changed was the eye contact. When I'd try, she'd have an excuse but never looked at me.
Until two Saturdays ago, when I stopped trying at all. I wonder if she even noticed that I had barely touched her in the last two weeks. It was a Saturday morning. A friend of Elizabeth, Lisa, had come and picked her up and they left to go do women things that morning. You know, the usual. Hair and nails and a bit of shopping. They were also going to an afternoon matinee, for a show I got them tickets to, so I was not expecting her back until later afternoon or early evening.
I was trying to sort something out in the garden which required I lift heavy and cumbersome tiles. And they were stuck. I didn't have the right tool for the job but then figured that the sharp end of a tyre iron should do the trick. I couldn't find one in my car, so I decided to check Elizabeth's car. As I opened the trunk of her car, I noticed the bag, but I was focussed on getting the tyre iron first. Once I retrieved it, I looked at the bag again. It was a black gym bag. But I was sure I had seen Elizabeth's gym bag upstairs. My curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to peek at the contents.
The contents shocked me. Two dildos, a butt-plug, a bottle of lube, some lingerie, and panties I didn't recognise, some leather cuffs, a flogger, and a paddle. But the item that properly got the klaxon marching band going in my brain, and that stood out, even in a bag full of sex toys, was the small video camera. I stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds before I grabbed the camera, checked that it still contained a memory card, which it did and headed to my study.
