I had no idea that, when I wrote about my little 'quickie' in Costa Rica, it would have any real effect on anyone. While the seminal event itself actually happened, I wrote it as a piece of dramatic fiction- and from some of the responses, it looks like my skills could use a little work. Mia Culpa...
But several women e-mailed me with stories of their own. One woman- Kathy from Memphis- wanted me to tell her story.
___________________
My name is Kathy. I'm 46, live in Memphis, and have been married to Frank for 28 years. I guess you could say 'happily' since I still love my husband deeply and we are really great in bed, but for the last 8 years I've been having an affair with Charles, a man from Chicago. He does things to my body that my husband just doesn't. Whether Frank can't or won't is not important. Charles does, and he does it every time we're together. Maybe my husband knows about Charles, maybe not. He's neither said nor done anything that would make me think he knows- no odd looks or cryptic phrases. I guess that's not important either, is it.
It's amazing how the internet has changed the way people get to know each other, and how their relationships change and develop long before they meet. So it was in the year 2000 with Charles.
We started talking on Yahoo, in a chat room. I was new to chat at the time and got lost in the chatter but managed to keep up with
2bfree
. I forget how I managed to get his attention, what with all the names sailing up the screen, little memes and scrabble words soaring like smoke into cyber skies. He told me how to get into a private chat room and page him, and so it went from there.
When most men start talking about their divorce, it's always the woman's fault. She's a bitch, does this, won't do that... blah blah. Charles's conversations didn't move in that direction. When he talked about his marriage, the subject was the good times they had before they simply drifted apart. Was their rancor and anger? Of course. Was it easy? Some of the time, no. Was his ex a bitch? No more than he was a bastard and a saint. Did everyone survive more or less intact? He did. Our chat room conversation took place over a few months; I heard all of this between laughing about Dilbert cartoons, me bragging about my new car, the snow storms that stranded him in Cleveland for four days, and signing for student loans to pay his daughter's college tuition. He was a nice guy. And he was black.
Around then we started 'pillow talk' e-sex and then exchanged phone numbers. The pillow talk e-sex became pillow talk phone sex, and things got incredibly hot between us. He told me what he would do to my body. How he would bite my nipples and tease my clit with his tongue until I was begging for him to plunge his big black cock into my wet pussy. I shared how turned on I got when I swallowed hot cum and how good he would feel with my lips wrapped around his erect manhood.
He had family in Memphis so he was in the area often. We decided to meet in about three weeks, when he was going to be in town for a business trip. We would meet on a Friday and see what happened after that. He gave me the name of hotel in which he would be staying and, when I looked it up, it was only about 20 minutes from my house. My knees got weak in anticipation and the days couldn't pass too quickly. I wondered what I should wear. Should it be slutty or trashy? Or sleek and sexy? Or just what I wear every day? I wondered what I should say. Try to be witty? Or just be like we were on the phone? And how quickly should I let him take me to his bed? Be a tease? Or just pull off my clothes and get between the sheets? All of this made me more and more nervous as the days fell by.
