The New Year's Eve party is winding down at the company's retreat in the Drakensberg mountains. Everywhere empty plates and glasses are standing around; the music now coming from the lounge is more subdued as the guests either have left or have taken up places to sleep on couches, the guest bedrooms and the poolhouse. It is a warm night: some are even dozing on the loungers next to the pool. Our company has had a particularly productive year and the executive members and their spouses have spent a week in this rugged paradise surrounded by verdant peaks, crystal clear streams and wide indigo skies.
My partner of seven years, Jacques, and his stunning trophy wife Erica are out there somewhere. My wife has long since gone to bed upstairs, tired from all the preparations and the long night.
I am the only one still moving about, unable to think of sleep, my senses flooded with my desire for Erica - the frustration of not being able to do anything about it keeping me awake.
Earlier I had walked into my bedroom unaware that she was changing into her bikini there because all the other rooms were engaged. She had her back to me and was stepping into her bikini bottoms - back arched, bending forward and lifting her right leg to step into them. My eyes were riveted to the rounded cheeks of her bottom; smooth and white against the deep summer's tan of her long legs and back. In the wedge between them I could make out her pouting sex, hairless and also deeply divided. My senses reeled with the wave of lust which crashed through my body in that unexpected moment. She squealed and hurriedly pulled the bikini bottoms up, blushing furiously. My stammered apologies drifted after me as I beat a hasty retreat and slammed the door shut, almost falling down the stairs.
A few minutes later she came down, eyes bright and cheeks flushing as she spotted me standing in awkward embarrassment next to the pub. Nothing was said then, but at midnight among all the cheers and Auld Lang Syne and kisses and well-wishing we were very aware of each other's bodies as we hugged and kissed each other, the simmering tension between us flaring into flame as I smelled her hair and felt her body next to mine; desire stirring in my groin enough for she to feel it moving between us. That incredible moment when, instead of pulling away, she deliberately pushed her hips forward against my stiffening cock, head thrown back, smiling innocently up into my surprised face. Then she were gone, leaving me shattered.
Now, reliving all that while I pour hot water into my coffee mug, I am wondering what to do about that. The throat-tightening feeling brought about by the thought of me fucking her, my colleague's wife, pounds deliciously yet maddeningly through me. I give my imagination free reign and picture her straddling me, riding me fiercely to climax. I realise that I am stiff again, and allow myself to squeeze my cock through my chinos, sending sparks of pleasure shooting into my brain.
I have to relieve this tension. Acting on impulse I stroll through the patio doors towards the pool area, the hand in my pocket holding on to my cock. I feel reckless, needy. As I near the double lounger where she is lying with her husband, my desire grows even greater. I stop a few paces away, and that is when she turns her head and I realise that she is as awake as I am; something which cannot be said of her loudly snoring husband.
'Erica,' I whisper hoarsely, 'can we chat?'
