When Vivian had fallen asleep at the Tartu hotel, she had been in a happy mood. As she put it to her lovers, she had crossed off from her imaginary sexual bucket wish list a sexual activity which she had previously thought was impossible to accomplish. To wit, double anal penetration, something which she had thought only occurred in porno movies. Certainly, at the TLR orgies no two male members had ever propositioned her to try it out, let alone even heard of any female member who had actually achieved such a feat.
Even her closest friend, Angela Peterson, had never articulated the possibility of experiencing such activity. Angela was a group sex enthusiast, and as far as she was concerned double penetration meant cock in vagina and a cock in the ass. Angela would also go so far as to suggest double penetration could also mean cock in mouth with a cock in either of the nether holes. But two cocks in the same orifice was not in her imagination as a thing to do.
However, with the heavy drinking she had partaken at the nearby tavern, all her inhibitions had been nullified. And so, she convinced her pick up lovers to engage her in gratifying this singular lustful proclivity. And she had done it! And it was a blast! An experience she would truly savor for the rest of her life. Thus, ignoring the previous unpleasantness of the day, Vivian's slumber was peaceful and restful.
However, once she woke up and cleared the cobwebs from her head, she immediately fell into deep despair at reliving the previous day. She fell into a prolonged sobbing episode as negative thoughts overwhelmed her. It was bad enough that she had suffered a miscarriage plus being advised she could no longer bear any children. But she compounded her misery by drinking so heavily that she lost any and all of her common sense. By indulging in a one-night stand not with one but two pick up strangers from the bar, she realized that she had severely placed her marriage into true jeopardy.
Even more damning in her mind with regards to her situation was the fact that she stank from the previous night's debauchery! Her body odor was so bad that even she was repulsed by the smell. Now naturally this damaging condition could be easily rectified by a thorough cleansing shower. Actually, she thought she might as well utilize the services of a public sauna rather than rely on an ordinary shower. That would have the added benefit of eliminating a potential hang-over. However, even though she could easily clean up her body, the cleansing of her soul was yet another matter.
After checking out of the hotel, Vivian did go to the nearest public sauna that was open for business. As she was submitting to the intense heat of the sauna, her hope was that the toxins in her body as a result of the previous night's licentiousness would also melt away into oblivion. The first major thought that came to her mind was that she need not confess her sins to Eino. After all she had not divulged to him her attendance at TLR orgies during her May visits to the United States. Her secrecy in that matter was predicated on the premise that what Eino did not know could not hurt him. Ergo why not keep him in the dark likewise on this occasion.
In Vivian's mind there were two objections to adopting this strategy for the purposes of trying to get out of the mess she now found herself in. First, in the TLR situation it is almost a near certainty that her visits to the TLR orgy would never come to the notice of Eino. However, with regards to last night's activity, there was a much greater risk that knowledge of the incident could come to Eino's attention. Even though Vivian had not volunteered too much by way of personal information about herself to her lovers, still she had divulged her name to them.
The point being that Estonia has a very small population. It has about one sixth the population of metropolitan Chicago and she wasn't exactly invisible in Chicago; to wit considering her employment with the prestigious law firm of Kirkland, Mayer & McDermott, and her sister's ownership of an extremely popular restaurant and trendy night club. Thus, the chances of her bumping into one of her lovers of the previous night frolics would be more probable than not. And from such eventuality it would easily follow that Eino would learn of her indiscretion so that if she had previously kept quiet of this night, the chances of marriage reconciliation would be more problematic than had she come clean from the get go.
Setting aside whether her husband could or would discover on his own, the extent of her extramarital sexual activity of the previous night, the fact remained that her soul was in conflict. In the TLR case she believed she was on solid grounds to keep such activity from the knowledge of her husband. She indulged in the TLR orgies as an extraneous outlet of sexual tension without any reference to the state of her marriage. Just like she felt no necessity to divulge when she had masturbated for whatever reason, her visits to the TLR orgies were likewise a no never mind to the state of her marriage.
However, the previous night's activities were a different kettle of fish. In her mind the news she had received of her infertility was certainly a devastating personal blow such that to resort to drinking was a reasonable coping measure given her personality and proclivities. Taking it one step further, it was likewise reasonable, given her personality, to indulge in some sex as a coping mechanism for her. However, that's what her husband was there for.
In retrospect she realized, that if she was not going to stay at the hospital as the doctor had proposed, then she surely should have driven directly home. There was plenty of time available to get wasted, and plenty of booze available at the farm. Besides she could have purchased even some more during her drive back to the farm. And of course, Eino, her husband would be available for all the sex she needed to help overcome her grief. Therefore, Vivian had to accept the proposition that resorting to having sex with strangers was not at all acceptable.
This kind of thinking led her to the conclusion that she dare not be equivocal in reporting to what she had done. If her marriage was to survive and remain on a solid footing, then honesty was the best policy. All she could hope for was that he was understanding, and that he would be man enough to be able to forgive her. But that was obviously a big ask. She knew she could not forgive herself, so how could she expect him to forgive her and move on.
Her head was full of such doom and gloom as she was driving back to the farm. She couldn't stop berating herself for her incautious conduct. Gone from her mind was even a hint of the recollection of the guilty pleasure she had enjoyed from the three-way sex that she had indulged in. All she could think of was that a banana slug was a more worthy creature than her. Consequently, she was in a nonstop crying jag during the entire forty-five minutes drive back to the farm.
When Vivian arrived at the farm, considering the time of the day (around 10:30 AM) she realized there were two most likely places where she could find her husband. He would either be in one of the barns or in his office at the Kangur farmhouse. Since she was inclined to delay the inevitable confrontation as long as practically possible, she decided to go through each barn as the less likely locale for her to meet him. Sure enough, he wasn't in any one of the barns, but he was sitting in his office dealing with the day to day exigencies of managing their farming enterprise.
As soon as Eino became aware of his wife's woeful physical appearance and demeanor, he jumped to his feet and asked, "What happened, Vivian? I can understand you being distraught from what you told me yesterday, but you look worse than that."
Vivian meekly sat down on a nearby convenient chair before she replied. After a momentary pause, she said, "I have a confession to make as I'm most ashamed of myself. After I finished talking to you yesterday, I continued drinking at the bar. My intention, as I told you, was to get thoroughly drunk and then sleep it off at the hotel. However, a university student approached my table, and I allowed him to keep me company. Later, I was joined by another student and after a while I invited both to my hotel room.
"l don't believe I need to elaborate anymore as to what transpired after that. Needless to say, I'm totally sorry for what I have done. I realize I have no legitimate excuse to offer in mitigation. My sorrow and my drinking provide no justification for what I've done. I honestly do not know if you can forgive me, but I sincerely hope that you can. I know I don't deserve it but please believe me, I'm truly contrite.
"I want to assure you in the strongest terms possible that I genuinely love you, body and soul. I love you as much as any woman can love a man. With all my heart I want to stay married to you. I'll do anything you wish or need me to do by way of penance. I'm at your mercy as to how we proceed from here."
