This is not a romance story. This is an account of what two vulnerable, flawed men do in the shadows over the year of their affair behind their wives' backs (the answer: gay sexâ„¢). I was inspired to write this after reading the series, 'Papa Naoto and Papa Tomoyuki' by Chabashira Tatsukichi. If there are similarities between the two, they are purposeful.
Racing Into the Night
Chapter 1 - Thirst
------
She was like a valkyrie descending upon me with thunderous purpose, and the sight of her rattled me to my core. It was the sun, approaching high noon, that caused her silhouette to blaze: gold for her hair and red, deepest red, for her outfit. The husband-killing shade of red. Of course.
She headed for me as if to deliver my death sentence, and her presence, her wrath, seemed enough to blow this entire café apart. It was the first time I'd seen her since...then...and it unseated me.
"Jonathan," she said; "it's good to see you." I knew it was not.
"Rachael." I motioned to the chair opposite me, offering dumbly for her to sit. "I'll order for us?"
"Sure, if you want." I tightened my lips and nodded, pretending to thumb through the menu. "Just a drink, though. I'm only here so you can sign off on the papers before I submit them." She paused, straightened her back some. "But...you knew that."
Morosely, I nodded my agreement. What else could I do? Her purpose was clear: to cut me out of her life like I was a maligned growth. The way she looked at me now, her eyes glinting behind her glasses; it felt haughty. She stared down at me from over the graceful bridge of her nose. The beginnings of a sneer tugged at the corners of her thin lips. I was the ant under the magnifying glass.
And after all, why shouldn't I be? I had dragged her and her reputation through the mud. I had made such a fool of her. I deserved what was coming to me.

She was not a valkyrie, but my soon to be ex-wife, Rachael Aguinaldo. Our marriage was racing towards dissolution, having informally ended two months ago, in an explosion that still pains me to think about. The start of said disaster began long before it finally went off; by my count, it'd been more than a year.
So, a year and two months ago, then. It was December. There'd been a party at Rachael's work. The mayor's office that she worked for as a staffer, had thrown a combination Christmas-and-Hanukkah party, as well as to celebrate the mayor's successful re-election into office. Rachael was one of the mayor's senior staffers. I was just her doting husband who had come along and would DD.
Rachael's world of politicians and their lackeys that orbited them, always ready to personally spit-shine the mayor's shoes, was beyond mine, and she knew that. But she insisted that for this momentous occasion, if she showed up without her husband, it would've been weird. "It'll be uncomely," was the phrase she'd used. I relented, and let her take me out shopping for something to wear.
I was not anywhere near her calibre, and we both knew it. It was the fact that I dwarfed her in height and was exactly the shape she liked that kept me in her world. That, and our Bailey, our daughter. The light of my life. Otherwise, I was the gigantic oafish husband that she kept around because I turned her on. I wasn't about to complain. Sex with Rachael was, after six tepid years of marriage, still amazing.
My 6'4" frame to her 5'5"; my nearly 300-pound, soft, bulky shape to her waspish 109-pound doll's body. She had a proclivity for fat men, and Asian men, that she never talked about but I saw the patterns in her exes. All the better for me, and all the better for her that I was tall. I loved the feeling of holding her down while we fucked, and she did too; all my weight on her. Her pussy, no slouch in her early forties, sucked me in and wouldn't let me go until she'd cum. Her orgasms wracked her whole body; even I could cum just feeling her clench and unclench around my cock. It was a good setup. I couldn't complain much.
My thoughts turned to sex easily around Rachael when she was excited, because whether or not she wanted to admit it, she was actually sort of a nympho. She could slip into a lustful headspace like she would put on a sock.
On the drive to the office, she went on and on about how the mayor commanded a crushing defeat against his opponent in the final stages of the campaign, and how it had been thanks to her and the rest of the mayor's inner circle to do it. The excitement was still new. Fresh.
We were stuck in the Ottawa evening traffic and she was still in the middle of her retelling. Chafing in the congestion of the 416, I kept my eyes forward, but smiled and laid a hand on her thigh. The wiry stocking material underneath did little to hamper me. I rubbed my thumb in a circle, waiting for the traffic to speed up, stop chugging along. As I did so, I heard her breath catch in her throat.
I smiled. This was one of our many games. Even now, I still think about how badly I miss it; how I'll sometimes wake up at night, my fat seven inches dripping at the memory of my wife's hot, desperate squirming. My cock missed her pussy so bad. I continued to rub in a circle as I searched for my off-ramp. The scenes of the surrounding city puttered by, unknowing that I was coming dangerously close to Rachael's warming heat. And she was doing little to stop me.
"Jon..." she muttered, her breath heavy; her stare glassy. "Jon, stop."
"Is that honest?" I asked her. My voice was husky with need. I wanted to pull off into an alleyway and slip under her skirt; the only obstacle between my mouth and her hungry hole. Successful twenty-first century woman she might be, she was not immune to the sensation of me desperately eating her out. Like a man deprived of food. How she fucking screamed....
"Yes, Jon!" She giggled, but she was flustered. "We'll be there in like, ten minutes. I don't have time to fix my hair and makeup. Be serious."
I inched somewhat closer to her throbbing heat. My cock was straining against my underwear; against the slacks she'd picked out that were a touch too tight for me. It was obscene. Maybe it was on purpose. She looked down at my bulge, her fingers twitching; her stare, hungry.
"We could be on time instead of early, for once...." The suggestion was heavy on my voice. I wanted to breed her so fucking bad. I could picture the sight of my dick twitching as it blasted a load in her deliciously mature pussy, and I swallowed back the image. I could've blown in my underwear right there.
"I'm serious." And she said it breathlessly, but a shade more calmly than before. I knew that was my cue to stop. I glanced at her sidelong with a smile on my face; she was already rearranging her clothes and brushing stray, sweaty strands out of her forehead. I loved when we were like this, and I know she did too. The tiny smile on her face told me everything.
"Love you, Rach." I put both hands back on the steering wheel and kept on heading forward.
"Love you, too." I didn't miss her opening the window a crack.
It wasn't long after that we arrived at the offices of the mayor of the city of Ottawa, and if not for Rachael's work, I wouldn't have known anything of him beyond his name. But his office was well-staffed, with almost the entire building given over to this huge party they were throwing. I managed to find a parking spot dangerously close to the dumpster bay, having driven past nearly all the other filled spots.
I could see Rachael's eyes lighting up as we approached. The sounds of animated conversation and soft jazz music were drifting through a slightly-open door. Distantly, she was commenting on how busy it'd be if all of the staff had brought their partners like they were all expected to. In spite of myself, I swallowed. I hated crowds. So much. But I wanted to support Rachael. Rather, I wanted to make sure her image was intact. The successful lobbyist with the happy, unfailing marriage to a decent, if somewhat homely guy.
Doing otherwise would be uncomely.
We passed into the main room and that was when the maelstrom was unleashed. Straight away, Rachael was swept up into a furious haze of hugs, excited chatter, and shared congratulations. A flute of champagne materialised in her hand. I hung to her side, giving smiles and hellos to whoever she was introducing me to, and there were...so many people she introduced me to. I don't think I can recall a single one of their names today.
All except one. After a dizzying solid minute of her peacocking about with her coworkers, she hooked her arm into mine, and pulled me towards the edge of the room. Here, a male-female couple of roughly the same age were in conversation, and like the rest of this crowd, they were caught up in Rachael's whirlwind.
I noticed him before he noticed me.
The man seemed roughly the same age as Rachael, and was around her height too, just a touch bit taller. A well-toned body under a closely-fitting shirt that was open at the collar, to reveal silver and black chest hairs against his nut-brown complexion. Fascinatingly green eyes just like Rachael's, set in a handsome, square face. His sleepy eyes were pushed up by a wolfish grin as he greeted her. And when we made eye contact, his smile for me was much the same. I gulped.
Despite myself, I felt a warmth spreading through my chest while he scanned me up and down. His stare was guarded, yet appraising. I was keenly aware of his scent, of green wood and vanilla; it was so singularly distracting. He shook my hand. In this room full of people, it felt like we were the only ones there. Even Rachael seemed a hundred kilometres away. He...damn, he....
He said something to me but over the din of the party, I couldn't hear. I just smiled dumbly at him. Then he reached over and hugged me, to my shock. He only came up to my chest and I could smell his hair, his cologne. When he pulled away, he was smiling widely; Rachael and the lady were sharing a giggle, an eye-roll.
"Aaron Rodriguez," he was saying, laying a wide, furry hand on his chest. "This is my wife, Nitya." He gestured to the lovely South Asian woman. "You must be Rachael's man?"
"Yeah," I confirmed. "Jonathan Aguinaldo. Good to meet you."
