The rest of the afternoon was a daze. You went through the motions at work but your head was still in the park and it was the same at home that evening. You cooked the dinner and ate it with your husband who commented that you were unusually quiet.
A couple of times while looking at the television - you weren't watching it just staring at the screen - you had to visit the toilet to wipe yourself as the memories kept you moist and flowing. You were glad when it was time for bed and in the darkness you wouldn't have to keep up any pretence.
As usual he got undressed and into bed first while you attended to your normal pre-sleep ablutions in the bathroom which tonight included a thorough wiping between your thighs. You were permanently aroused and wet and wondered if you would be able to satisfy yourself quietly beside him tonight as he slept as you had done many times in the past.
When you came back into the bedroom he was sitting propped up in bed reading a book. You pulled the duvet back and got in on your side then on impulse reached into the fly of his pyjamas and pulled out his penis. Suddenly you knew what you wanted and bending over, took him in your mouth.
You sucked and tongued him rapidly to an erection, his book now forgotten, then swinging your leg over him settled yourself straight down on his now very stiff and wet prick. He slid deep into you so easily and you closed your eyes as you felt him hard inside you.
You crouched over him your eyes still closed and started to fuck him hard. There was a desperation in your movements matching the recollection of every detail you could remember from lunchtime, and when your nightdress got in the way you pushed yourself up and pulled it off over your head.
Naked you crouched again and the intensity of your movements increased along with your hissed curses and erratic breathing. You weren't making love to him, you weren't even fucking him. He was merely the provider of a solid, hot, blood-filled dildo for you to masturbate on. So urgent and rapid was your action it didn't even register when he pressed hard down on your rump to slow you as he emptied his body into yours.
Finally you came. Your orgasm hit you like a train and you lost complete control. You fell on him and he held you as you convulsed and cried out as the spasms of a climax the like of which you couldn't ever remember before passed through you.
As you calmed down you began to realise what you had just done. You had just taken what you wanted whether he did or not. Although you could feel from the wetness where you were joined that he had cum, it had been for your own benefit with no thought for him. It had been entirely selfish.
You had virtually raped him.
Then the guilt kicked in.
Here was the man you had been married to for many years, who loved you and supported you, who still went out of his way to try and make you happy and you had abused him.
'Oh my god, I'm so sorry' you panted breathlessly into his ear, 'I'm so sorry,' over and over and rained kisses on his neck and face. 'I don't know what........I'm sorry.'
You forced your arms under him and held him tight all the time crying softly now and apologising and kissing him. He pushed you up from him and looked you straight in the eye, blinking as a tear fell on his face.
'Wow......what brought that on! Don't say sorry.' His softly spoken words took you by surprise as he pulled you back down to him 'I love you Sarah.........that was fantastic.' You could hear the smile in his voice. 'I'd forgotten just how sexy you can be!'
Your relief was palpable and you bent your head to kiss him, a long sensuous but relaxed kiss that only ended when he pulled away to complain about the wetness of his pyjamas. You got off him and he took them off and he pulled you close to him again.
As you lay naked he kissed your face and again said how amazing it had been and you felt bad that the thought that brought on your climax did not involve him. As you buried your face in his shoulder you resolved never to go to the park again.
For the next couple of weeks things were good between you and you made love, had sex, fucked, whatever your moods were at the time, frequently but you could never quite rid yourself of the thoughts that had triggered that night.
Eventually you realised that you had to return even though the thought of what might happen both excited and terrified you. You despised yourself for feeling the need to do so but you also knew that you would never rest until it was finished. There was a demon to exorcise.
And so it was that a week later you made your way back to the same bench. Your heart was thumping and you were as nervous as hell but you needed to be there. It was another warm and sunny day and the soothing sound of the breeze in the trees helped calm your nerves a little but several times you nearly got up to go.
But you didn't.
You started reading your book and surprised yourself when you realised how quickly you were into it. As a calming distraction it worked well and soon you forgot why you were there as it absorbed you.
'Hello.'
The sudden sound of a voice startled you but it wasn't the voice you had hoped or expected to hear. You looked up quickly to see the elderly lady standing close by smiling down at you. Then other memories came flooding back, embarrassing ones.
'Oh.......hello.'
'It's a lovely day again isn't it.'
'Er.....yes.'
You had forgotten about her. She had never featured in your frequent memories of that day yet here she was, a reminder of something you would have preferred to have left forgotten. She sat down beside you.
'Are you waiting for your boyfriend?'
Oh god!
'He's not my boyfr.......!'
As soon as you spoke you realised what you had said. Panic began to hit you.
'Oh I see. Your husband then?'
Still panicking you shook your head. She gave you a surprised look and you could have kicked yourself.
'Look,' she said. 'I'm sorry if I intruded on your private moment the other day, I hadn't intended to but these things' she pulled back her hair to show two hearing aids 'can sometimes pick up more than they should.'
She went on. 'It's just that .....well....it was difficult not to listen after a few minutes and......'
She stopped suddenly.
'Look, I'm embarrassing you. I'm sorry. I'll go and leave you in peace.'
She stood up and started to move away. As she did you realised that you needed to talk to someone about it but who could you tell without recounting everything? She at least had seen for herself what had been happening and no explanation would be necessary, and in the few words you had exchanged you had got the impression that she wouldn't judge you or condemn you for something over which had had very little control.
You quickly stood up and put you hand on her arm. She turned in surprise.
'No, please stay. Please stay and talk.'
She looked you for a few seconds holding your gaze.
'Please?'
Her face and voice softened.
'You need someone to talk to don't you. Somebody who's not close.'
You nod. 'Yes.' you said simply
She rested her hand on your arm this time and studied your face again. Suddenly she perked up.
