Gone Astray Ch 07

Sara bought two 'After-Workout Protein Refills' in the juice bar at the gym. She looked over at the table where Andrew sat. He was the realtor she sometimes chatted with at the gym. He was busy with his phone and had not noticed her, so she thought it would be nice to surprise him with a drink.

She paid with money she had earned by working in a lingerie store. Every time she paid for something with her earned money, she felt immensely proud of herself and her work.

She carried the drinks to Andrew's table. When she placed one of the drinks in front of him, he looked up from his phone in surprise.

"There you go. This is a lot better than your usual energy drinks," she said with a smile and sat beside him. She took it for granted that he wanted her company.

Andrew cracked up with a warm smile. "Sara! What a surprise!" he exclaimed. He gave her a once-over, not being covert about it. "You are looking good."

Sara giggled. The unexpected honesty in his comment felt good. She smiled back at him. "You are not looking so bad yourself," she replied. She blushed at making the candid comment.

His smile broadened as he looked at her. She looked back at him. He had kind eyes, and they made her feel safe. Approaching someone, especially a man, was out of her normal comfort zone.

He picked up the drink. "This was very sweet of you."

She smiled at him, still feeling proud she had bought it with her own money.

Soon, they were lost in conversation. Sara missed having someone to talk to, and it was so easy with Andrew. He was genuinely interested in her and listened to everything she said. It had been a while since they last met, and many things had happened. She talked about her job in the lingerie store and how proud she felt. Time was flying, and she had been working for two months already.

Andrew said that was great, and he was happy for her sake. He knew she was a housewife and had never worked before. She confessed some of the silly mistakes she had made in the beginning. They laughed at them together.

Sara got more serious. She confessed she would forever be thankful to Megan for believing in and supporting her. Megan was the shop manager. Andrew smiled at her with kind eyes and put his hand on hers. Sara's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time they had touched each other. It was only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity before Sara withdrew her hand. She felt a tingling sensation from his touch.

To change the subject, she told Andrew that Robert had moved out and had started university. She told him it felt empty not to have him at home anymore. Andrew talked about how strange it felt to live separated from his children. He tried to see them as often as possible, but it was still hard. Sara knew he was divorced and could understand how difficult it must be for him. She tried to be sympathetic. It was easy to relate as they shared similar feelings.

Sara talked about Jennifer and her boyfriend. She told him how happy Jennifer seemed. Also, they had finally told Paul that she was dating and that it was serious. Andrew thought it was terrible that they had to keep it a secret in the first place.

Their drinks were over, and Andrew said he wanted to take Sara out one evening for a drink to repay her. It did not feel awkward or out of place when he asked her, but she hesitated. Going out with a man other than her husband was so far from what was decent as a married woman. She did not know what to feel or think. She told him she had never gone out with another man besides her husband. She needed to think about it.

Andrew smiled at her with his kind eyes. "Take your time. It's not like a date, but I can understand if you consider it a big thing."

Sara smiled back. It did not feel awkward, but her heart skipped a beat like when he had touched her.

"We could exchange phone numbers, and you can let me know," he suggested.

Later, as she drove home, she felt confused. She had exchanged phone numbers with Andrew, which was wrong in many ways. But at the same time, she liked talking with him, and she would not mind meeting him again.

A long time ago, when they met for the first time, he had hit on her and asked for her phone number. He had been smooth about it, but she declined. Having contact with another man other than her husband was inappropriate.

This time, she had not hesitated to take out her phone to exchange numbers when he asked. She asked him to tell her his number, and she called him. They could hear his phone ring in his bag.

"Give me your phone," she asked, closing the call. The whole idea of exchanging numbers felt naughty and made her playful. He rummaged through his bag and handed her his phone. It had a face ID. Andrew did not protest but smiled faintly when she held his phone before his face to unlock it. Sara had the same type of phone, so it was easy to navigate. Deftly, she opened the call log and saved her number into his address book. Then she leaned forward and dropped the phone into his bag again.

Sara smiled to herself as she sat in the car. She had not saved her number as 'Sara.' Instead, she had saved it as 'The Friendly Gym Girl.' She was sure he would love it when he discovered it.

She replayed their conversation in her head while driving. Besides touching her hand, Andrew had gently flirted with her. She blushed, thinking she liked it, and shyly flirted back. She had never flirted with a man before. Maybe back in the days when she was dating Paul before they got married. She got a warm feeling in her stomach when she thought of Andrew's hand on top of hers. Their eyes had met, and he had smiled at her. They had smiled an awful lot at each other while talking. Sara pressed her thighs together as she drove on. She felt confused about her feelings.

She shook her head to clear her mind as she pulled into the driveway at home. Once inside, she busied herself preparing dinner for her family. It felt good to go through her everyday evening routines. It distracted her from other thoughts.

Sara looked around the dinner table while they ate. There were two empty chairs. Robert had moved out to the university, and it was likely a long time before he would visit. Jennifer was with Daniel and not at home for dinner. She had been spending a lot of time with him lately.

It was muted at the dinner table. It had often been like that since Sara began working. Paul still did not agree that she worked and wanted her to quit and concentrate on being a housewife again. William was, as usual, taking his father's side and was sulking like his father. She loved her son but could not help feeling that he behaved childishly. She knew he loved his father to the point of idolizing him, but he was old enough to form his own opinions.

Jennifer had told Paul about her having a boyfriend. It had not been received too well. He had become upset and said she was too young for a boyfriend. He believed she should wait until she found the man she wanted to marry. Jennifer had argued and said that was not rational. Perhaps her boyfriend was Mr. Right, and he was the one she was going to marry. How could they know?

Paul did not fully accept that Jennifer had a boyfriend. Things had become tense with Jennifer, as with Sara.

Sara hoped that Paul would soften with time. But he remained stoic about her work and Jennifer having a boyfriend. She put up with Paul's silent disapproval without arguing with him. Jennifer, instead, spent most evenings out. She did not tell Sara where she was, but Sara guessed she spent her time with Daniel.

Sara took care of the dishes after dinner. Paul watched TV. William went to his room and played computer games. Sara joined Paul in the living room after cleaning the kitchen. They did not talk but watched TV together. Sara felt there was a fundamental change in how they were together. Previously, she had always taken comfort in their quiet evenings together. Instead, it came to be that she had a hollow feeling that she could not shake. She looked at Paul. He had always been her steady rock. She had always felt that she could depend on him. That feeling had somehow eroded in the last months.

She knew she was changing. She was doing new things and getting new experiences. Instead of supporting her, Paul wanted everything to remain as it was before. He was doing the same with Jennifer. She was growing up and becoming an independent adult. Sara could not understand why he was so much against it.

She went into the kitchen and stood by the sink, thinking. Sitting next to Paul and watching TV seemed meaningless. She could not pinpoint exactly why, but she felt dissatisfied. She checked her phone. Darius had sent her a joke. It was outrageous, but she could not help but smile at it. She sent back a stern rebuke. She knew he would understand that she was not serious. He must have been looking at his phone as he replied right away.

They exchanged several texts. She smiled to herself as she typed. His replies were so bad. They had been meeting every second week since she had started working. It had been months, and she still could not believe she had a set day for sex with Darius. Sara worked only three hours every second Thursday, from nine to noon. By chance, it was in between her period and fertile peak, so it was safe to have sex on those days. On the third time they met, Darius told her he had changed his work schedule to have Thursday afternoon free. Sara had been flattered, but her stomach fluttered. She could hardly recognize herself making such an arrangement.

The following day was Thursday. She admitted to Darius that she was looking forward to meeting him. He replied with several scandalous texts telling her what he intended to do when they met. Sara blushed. She knew she liked what he intended to do with her, but it was lewd to see it in writing. She texted him sternly to behave and save his energy for the following day instead.

She smiled as she put down her phone. Her stomach tingled. She took a couple of deep breaths to collect herself and looked at the time. It was getting close to Jennifer's curfew, and she should be home soon. Usually, she pulled in on the driveway on the dot. Sara suspected that Jennifer sometimes waited nearby so that she did not arrive too early. To Sara, it looked like it was a silent protest of Paul's stern disapproval of her having a boyfriend. Sara took a new deep breath and sighed. She was unhappy about the gloomy atmosphere at home lately.

Darius put down his phone not too far from Sara's home. He was also anticipating the following day and his meeting with Sara. She was not the first woman he had inherited from his best friend, Daniel. Darius was not bad looking. However, he lacked Daniel's confidence. He couldn't like Daniel effortlessly strike up a conversation with women. Daniel usually had a woman following him home when they went to clubs and similar places. Sometimes, it was a one-night stand. Other times, it became a torrent affair. Rarely did Daniel stay long with any girl. More than once, when Daniel felt it was time to move on, he pushed them into Darius's arms instead.

Sara was similar but different. Daniel had picked her up in a parking lot outside a grocery store, of all places. Darius had shaken his head in disbelief when Daniel told him about it. He was impossible. But anyway, Darius was not surprised. They had laughed at it at the time. That Daniel had picked up an older white woman and convinced her to follow him home had been comical.

Then they laughed again when she had agreed to meet again. Then they met a third time. Daniel became more serious. Sara was increasingly an enigma. She was way older than the usual women Daniel picked up. But simultaneously, she was as innocent and inexperienced as a young teenager. With each meeting, her confidence grew. Daniel said she was more like a smoldering volcano than a shy, insecure housewife. He became infatuated with her. He started using words such as interesting, kind, and caring when describing her.

Daniel also talked about sex with her. He told Darius she was more like an inexperienced teenager than a woman over forty. After meeting a few times, Daniel said that her confidence had grown. She had become like a teenager in her experimenting phase. He had zero complaints about this. He could describe at length how sexy she was, even if she was older.

Darius understood that Daniel and Sara talked a lot besides having sex. It surprised him the first time Daniel mentioned Sara's husband and how Daniel seemed to have so little regard for him. He accused him of suppressing Sara throughout their marriage. He expected Sara to be a housewife and nothing more. Daniel said that it seemed like he had not given her a decent fuck in twenty years of marriage.

Darius was surprised at how engaged Daniel had become with Sara. After every meeting, he could talk about her for days. Not only about how hot she looked when she stopped wearing her frumpy cotton dresses. Or how keenly she experimented with sex. He talked about how he felt sorry for her confined life. He told Darius about how they spent hours in bed talking about everything. He even liked how interested she was in his schoolwork.

Daniel told him about Jenny when they were assigned a project together. Darius did not think Daniel realized it, but Daniel soon similarly talked about her as he did about Sara. Darius knew his friend well and was not surprised when he one day said he had fucked her. Both knew she had a boyfriend, but it had never prevented Daniel in the past. Then, it was about a month when Jenny seemed confused and did not know what to do about her boyfriend. Darius could tell his friend was enticed by her and repeatedly got her to have sex with him. Daniel had met her boyfriend and thought he was a racist asshole. He had no qualms about pursuing Jenny.

Once, he had sent her freshly fucked on a date with her boyfriend. Daniel and Darius had laughed about it. It had been less fun for Jenny, and she told Daniel later it was too much. Her boyfriend wanted sex, and he had gone down on her. She said she had felt humiliated since she was still full of sperm from Daniel. Her boyfriend had commented that she tasted different but had not realized what it was. Jenny told Daniel she had broken up with her boyfriend the following day. She said it felt good since they mainly had quarreled all the time in the last months.

Daniel began spending more time with Jenny, and Darius met her for the first time. He could only agree that she was as good looking as Daniel had described and easy to like. It did not take long before Darius thought of them as a couple, even if they did not say they were.

At the same time, Daniel seemed unable to let go of Sara. He even ventured to her house and had sex in the bed she shared with her husband. He had been amazed. Later, he told Darius about the extremely middle-class white-housewife suburban life she was living. Darius could understand how Daniel had become the means for her to break free.

Daniel told Darius he met Sara again at his place, as Sara had worried about being discovered at her house. However, she must have liked it as she invited him again. This time, there was a discovery, but of a different kind. Daniel knew Sara had a daughter about his age, and they discovered that Jenny was Sara's daughter.

Daniel had been blindsided, but it was different for Darius. He had met Jenny several times and spent many hours listening to Daniel talk about Sara. Darius had been unable to put the finger on it. But, when Daniel told him that Jenny was Sara's daughter, the penny dropped. Too much of what Daniel had told him about Sara could also be said about Jenny. They were remarkably similar. He could not quite understand how Daniel had missed it.

It became a confusing period for Daniel, like how it had been for Jenny before she broke up with her boyfriend. He was fucking mother and daughter. Darius could tell Daniel agonized. He seemed to have too high an opinion of Sara to drop her cold. She seemed to have the same problems. They met again, even though they knew Daniel was dating her daughter. Later, when Daniel told Darius, he laughed and said he did not know if Daniel or Sara was worse.

Daniel suggested that Darius should take over Sara. It was not the first time they had done that. They planned how best to go about it. Daniel said he felt confident that he could get Sara to meet them both, and they could convince her to have sex. Then, getting her to meet Darius by herself would be straightforward. Daniel and Darius were not strangers to having sex in front of each other. They had done it on several occasions.

Once, they even had a torrent affair with the same girl. She had been insatiable, and they had to combine their efforts to keep her happy and satisfied. Almost every day, she called and wanted to hook up. One late evening, after hours of sex, she surprised them when she said that they had to stop meeting. She told them she was engaged, and her fiancé was returning from an extended business trip. They never met her fiancé. But they often joked about how he imagined that he could keep her satisfied without having help.

Daniel had convinced Sara to meet him and Darius without too much trouble. Darius was hesitant because Sara was so much older, but he quickly changed his mind when he met her. She was as good looking as Daniel had said. She was also remarkably like Jenny. He could not understand how Daniel could not have realized sooner that they were related.

He marveled at how easily Daniel convinced her to have sex. Her cheeks had flamed red with embarrassment, but she did as Daniel asked. They got her to undress, and Darius could tell she was nervous when she got on all fours and hid her face. Daniel had motioned for Darius to go first. Her ass and legs were first class, giving Darius a spectacular view as he got in position behind her. She was soaking wet, and he had no problems entering her even if she was tight and he was big. Pushing his cock into her a few times, he could tell her pussy felt as good as Daniel had bragged about many times. After a while, she turned around to see who was fucking her. Her expression looked terrified, but her eyes burned with desire. For a second, he thought she was going to make a scene. Then excitement won, and she pushed her tight sexy ass into his crotch with a moan.

Darius' confidence grew, and he fucked her with more determination. Daniel smiled and gave a thumbs-up. He shuffled back to the armchair and sat down. He stroked his cock while he watched the two persons mate on his bed.

Darius was well into it and pulled Sara up against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and held her against his chest so that she sat upright and impaled on his hard cock. Her body felt as good in his arms as her pussy did gripping his cock. She moaned in approval and leaned her head back against his shoulder. Her luscious hair tickled him as it draped over his shoulder and down his back. Her slim body was light, and he had no problems lifting and pushing her down again on his cock. He felt her body tremble in response.

It was tight and intense. Darius could tell when she was getting close, and she moaned and trembled as she came. Her tight pussy gripped his cock hard, and it made him come as well. She had not said it was safe, but it felt too good for him to pull out. Her tight pussy milked his cock as he emptied himself inside her. He let go of her, and she fell limply forward. His cock slipped out of her tight pussy. Darius looked down at her, sprawling on the bed beneath him. It looked like she was still coming as tremors went through her body. She had felt every bit as good as Daniel had described.

Darius and Daniel had done this before and didn't need to discuss what was coming next. They exchanged places, Daniel standing up and Darius sitting down. Daniel was grinning, and Darius felt he was also grinning. She had been spectacular.
