Original story: Stormbringer
Adapted/ continued: RogueAlan
NOTE: Stormbringer created essentially a screenplay for Recession Blues, which has been an illustrated comic. He graciously allowed me to flesh it out into the story that was chapter 1, and to take his memorable character and see what I thought would happen next. I believe I once read where he said he enjoys the stories up to the point that the women 'become sluts.' I totally agree... and I thought that just maybe there was a little more we could watch as Ann realizes what she is.
Fans of Sharon do not despair, her story is continuing. And while there are similarities, I would argue that any story that features a wife falling prey to her desires or others' machinations will have a similar arc. I hope you will enjoy...
Chapter II: A Deeper Shade...
Ann blinked, surprised to find she was getting off of the highway. She knew she had been drinking, but had not felt too buzzed to be driving... She pressed a hand against her lap, and shivered at the lingering pleasure she felt, pleasure that had been distracting her from the fact that she was very drunk... and driving, the fading echo of more orgasms then she could ever remember having at once. Hell, she had not climaxed that often before in a week... probably a month.
The familiar streets near their home had replaced the glass storefronts and brick buildings surrounding the club downtown. She shook her head, remembering belatedly she needed to get a douche. And a dose of Plan B. She glanced at the blue numbers on the dash: 4:25 AM. Tom would be waking up in less than two hours for work. Ann hoped he had not stayed up; she was not sure how she would explain being almost two and a half hours late. She winced, wondering if her husband would be able to tell from a single glance what she had been doing.
The light of the local all hour drug store caught her attention, and Ann veered into the nearly empty lot. She hesitated, though. Sure, it was early, but what if the clerk recognized her? What if he knew Tom? The cheating housewife sat in her car for several moments of indecision. Should she get just the douche? She rolled her eyes... as if the clerk would not know why she was getting that in the wee hours of the morning. She would merely seem stupid for not getting Plan B as well.
She tried to remember how long after... after unprotected sex the 'morning after' medication was effective, but had only heard friends mention it a couple times. She was not even sure it would be available; the drug store was open twenty four hours, but a sign near the drive through claimed the pharmacy closed at 10PM.
The fading heat of her prolonged pleasure was becoming a mild ache. Ann pressed a hand against her sex again, musing it was no wonder as hard as she had worked it after dancing at the club. She wondered again, would Tom know by looking at her? Would he smell Jacen on her? She put the car in gear, resolved to stop the next day once Tom was at work... or maybe she would go to the little place near the club, just to make sure she was not recognized.
Mind made up, the thoroughly fucked housewife drove the last mile to their small home. Fortunately the garage was on the opposite side of the house from the bedroom; Tom had never awakened to her coming home before. Ann was embarrassed at what she had done... at what she had let Jacen do to her. As good as it had felt cumming while he was fucking her, Ann knew it had been wrong. She told herself it was just that he was so big, and she had been drinking, and because of that vicious shit who had tried to make her blow him in the private room.
She decided she could justify a shower because of the body glitter many of the dancers wore. She felt a rush of relief finding Tom asleep at his desk chair. With luck he would never know how late she had arrived home. Ann slipped into the shower, glad for once that her husband had installed a unit with a detachable hand sprayer. The guilt she felt at having cheated seemed to build with every moment. Ann cleaned up quickly and she hoped completely. She did not see any tell tale hickies as she examined herself in the dark in the bathroom mirror.
She downed three Motrin for the growing aches in her body, and knowing that she would have a headache later in the morning when she awoke. She slipped under the covers naked, feeling guilty not just for cheating, but for leaving Tom in the den... and for being relieved he was not awake. She lay in the darkness, trying to decide what to do. It all seemed so unreal, she almost wondered if it had been a dream. Before she had any thought approaching a solution, the still buzzed housewife and exotic dancer was fast asleep.

Tom woke with barely 15 minutes to get to work. He had tried to stay up, but had obviously crashed in his den at some point. He could not understand why Ann had not roused him as they had planned, and was a little peevish about it, since yet again he had gone without. He went into the bedroom, but only to get fresh clothes; there was not time to shave, much less tear one off. And Ann was snoring softly, still totally out, as well. She barely stirred when he kissed her, whispered that he loved her, and rushed out to the car, anxious not to be late to work. He made a mental note to scold his wife; her car was parked badly in the garage, and he guessed she had been drinking, probably a farewell and good luck thing with the other dancers, the naΓ―ve husband guessed. He knew he should repark her car, but did not have time as he carefully backed around hers and headed downtown.
He made it with a few minutes to spare, and quickly got into the swing of things. His boss was pleased with Tom's efforts, and there was work enough to keep both men busy, working right through lunch, so that Tom had no time to call home once he got to work.
