Affair Sex

"So what brings you to town?" Steve asked Tim. It has been about a year since he had last seen his best friend from college.

"I actually have a job interview," Tim said with a smile. "If all goes well, we may be moving back here."

"Wow, that's great news!" Steve was excited his friend might return to the area after having been gone for about 8 years.

"And Jenny's on board?" Steve asked.

"She is more than on board, she is trilled. She has always wanted to live on the east coast," Tim explained. "Do you need another drink?"

"Yeah, just waive the waitress over, I have a tab open. So where are you staying?" Steve asked.

"At my cousin's Ray's," Tim waived to the waitress. "He is actually going to join us tonight. He should be here soon."

Upon hearing that news, Steve just nodded and smiled. The fact was, he didn't really like Ray. Ray just seemed untrustworthy. Like the guy who smiles to your face then stabs you in the back. Steve had a feeling that Ray didn't like him either and talked shit about him behind his back. There was nothing he could do about it. Although they were cousins, Ray was like a brother to Tim and they both carried on that type of relationship. Steve did not want to cause any drama, so he tolerated Ray whenever he was around. This happened to be quite often.

Steve and Tim continued to drink when the discussion of marriage came up. "So how are Cindy and the kids doing?" Tim asked.

"Kids are fine, they are both in middle school, so I now play the job of referee," Steve joked. "Cindy is a great mom and wife for the most part."

"The most part? What is that supposed to mean?" Tim asked.

"I really don't want to get into it. We are here to catch up and have a good time. The last thing I want to do is talk about my problems," Steve responded.

"Dude, it's me. You seemed troubled and I'm always here to help," Tim said with a sincere look on his face. "Lay it on me."

Steve was happy his old friend was there. He had been holding onto these feelings for so long he was happy he finally had someone to talk to that understood him. "Our relationship is good, I guess. I just wish Cindy would be more adventurous in the bedroom if you catch my drift. It's not a dead bedroom, but everything has become so routine. When we do have sex, it seems so lifeless lately.

"I was thinking back to our early days. Even though we did it more frequently, it was always so vanilla. Then I think about some of the woman I dated in college. How wild they were. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice. I feel like I'm missing out. Like I'm going to die full of regret," Steve sighed.

"Well, that sucks. Shit, I think I see Ray," Tim waived his cousin over. "Let's pick up this conversation later when it's just us."

Steve was disappointed to see Ray approaching but he knew Tim was right. The last thing he wanted to do was discuss this with Ray.

"What's going on guys?" Ray said in his big entrance.

"Steve was just reminiscing about all the wild women he use to date in college," Tim laughed.

"Oh, yeah?" Ray started laughing. "Fuck, this just shows why I never want to get married. I never want to be like you clowns, reminiscing about the glory days."

"Easy boy," Tim shot back. "Hell, we both made the conscious choice to get married to good women. That, however, doesn't mean we don't think about all the ho's we had back in the day!

"What is your wildest sex story Ray?" Tim asked his cousin.

As the three of them continued to throw back beers, Ray went on to tell them both about the 25-year-old he is dating and all the freaky shit she is into. This lasted about 20 minutes and 2 more rounds before Ray asked Steve about his best story. The three of them were now starting to feel the drinks and got looser with their conversations.

Steve responded with story about this girl Alison he had a one-night stand with. She was a complete head case but a total freak in bed. She loved getting ice cubes rubbed on her nipples while she took it doggie style.

When the three stopped laughing, Ray jumped in, "Yeah, the crazy ones are always the best in bed. The only thing better than crazy sex is affair sex. Tim, what was that story about that married woman you fucked? I was never able to get that story out of you."

"You never told me this story," Steve said with a smile looking to hear the details from his best friend.

"Well, I've never told that story because it was not my proudest moment. It was shortly after I moved to Austin, before I met Jenny but something I'm a little ashamed about. I probably never would have done it if I had known she was married," Tim laughed. "I had seen this girl Zoe out several times, and it was always very flirty. You could cut the sexual tension we had with a knife. Every time we hung out it would get more and more flirty between us, but she had mentioned early on that she had a boyfriend. Well, this one night, we were both a little drunk and she was being extra flirty with no mention of her boyfriend. One thing led to another, and we ended up in bed together. Let me just mention that this girl was smoking hot and more importantly hot for me. She started with the hungriest blow job I had ever gotten. It was like she was worshiping my cock. Also, I had never heard a girl talk so dirty in the bedroom before. She was saying things like "Make me your slut". She loved it doggie and had me pull her hair while telling her what a whore she was. The session went on for over an hour leaving no position untried. She also made me finish on her face. Let me tell you, that girl really made me feel like a porn star. It was by far the best sex of my life. Please don't tell Jenny I said that," Tim laughed.

Tim continued, "However, about a half hour after we were finished, she suddenly broke into tears. This is when she confessed that she was married and now regretted cheating on the "love of her life." After that, I vowed to keep her secret and never talked to her again.

"Wow," Ray said. "Did her husband ever find out about how she fucked around?"

"I don't think so. As far as I know they are still together and apparently have children," Tim admitted.

The three guys continued to drink more beers and did a few rounds of shots as well. Ray continued to get drunk and snarkier with each drink. Many of his "jokes" were making fun of Steve. Steve did not like this and remembered how he thought Ray probably talked behind his back when he wasn't around. He then decided to put his phone on record and leave it on the table while he went to the bathroom. He would later listen to see if Ray in fact did talk behind his back when he thought he wasn't listening.

Eventually the three guys called it a night, and all went home. Steve was happy his friend might be moving back to town. It had been some time since he had a close friend he could trust around.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Steve woke up with a bit of a hangover. It was about 9:30 and it was obvious that his wife Cindy had let him sleep in.

Wow,

he thought.

It's going to be great having Tim move back to the area. I really hope he gets that job.

While lying in bed, Steve started playing with his phone when he remembered that he took an audio recording to see if Ray talked any shit about him while he was away in the bathroom.

Steve found the file and hit play.

"Now that Steve is gone, I wanted to ask you something," Ray asked.

Here we go

, Steve thought listening to the recording

. I knew he would trash talk me the first chance he got.

Steve felt vindicated in his assumption and listened closely to the recording.

"I don't know if you remember, but you told me that Zoe story several years back," Ray's voice had a bit of question in it.

"Yeah, So?" Tim replied.

"Well, you had always told me about your sexual escapades. That was before Jenny of course," Ray continued. "When you told me that story, I had assumed it had happened before you moved to Austin."

"Well, it didn't. Where are you going with this?" Tim asked.

"You met Jenny only a few weeks after you moved to Austin. I also remember a conversation we had a couple of days before you met her about how you felt you had made a mistake moving to Austin and that you didn't "get" Texas girls. The only girl you had even had a real conversation with was. Oh shit! You dog! No fuckin way! Zoe was Cindy, wasn't she?" Ray started laughing hysterically when (Steve could only assume) Ray read Tim's expression.

They say sometimes silence speaks volumes. Steve listened closely to the recording for a denial from Tim. One that never came.

At this moment, Steve felt like he had been hit by a ton of bricks and barley made it to the garbage can before he vomited. The "Zoe" story came rushing back to him but now he was picturing it with Cindy and his best friend Tim. Once he was able to regain his composure, he picked up his phone and went back to the place he had left off on the recording.

"Look," Tim said with a panicked voice. "You can not breath a word of this to Steve. It will kill him. He will probably kill me! It was all just a big drunken mistake. Cindy came into town for a work convention. We had dinner at her hotel. It was just supposed to be a friends thing. Well, a couple of bottles of wine later, one thing led to another and we ended up back in her room. We never meant for any of this to happen. The next morning, she was really starting to feel guilty. Hell, we both were. We vowed to never mention it again. That night was very special to me. It was the best sex of my life! Years of innocent flirting had built up to a spontaneous release that we couldn't take back. I was really lucky to have met Jenny a few weeks later as I was starting to gain feelings for Cindy after that night. But honestly, you can not breath a word to Steve about this.

"You fucking dog," Ray laughed. "I could tell she always had a little thing for you. Just the way she acted around you when she was drunk. I can't believe she would actually fuck you. Especially after she got married. Shit, weren't you the best man at their wedding? If I ever get married, I'll be sure to keep my girl away from you, you fuckin' tiger! Shit, I think Steve is on his way back. How about those Cowboys?"

When the tape ended, Steve laid in bed in shock. He didn't know what he was more pissed about. That his friend had had sex with his wife or that his wife had not only betrayed him but gave his friend the best sex of his life. And to add insult to injury, saved the mediocre vanilla sex for him!

Does Cindy even love me?

Steve thought.

If she was this sexual goddess, why not show her husband? Did she even find me attractive? Was there anyone else?

Steve had a lot of questions and he needed answers. The one thing he did know, was that he didn't know his wife at all. He decided to bury his feelings for now and come up with a plan to get those answers. It was time to go into detective mode.

The next few days were really tough on Steve. He went through a range of emotions from, sad, to angry, to hurt, to resentful. His mind was all over the place and it was hard pretending nothing had happened to his wife and family. He had gone through Cindy's phone, emails, iPad, and found nothing out of the ordinary. Then it came to him, her journals. The answers he was seeking must be in those.

Cindy had kept her old journals in a box in the attic. Steve decided to call out of work for a couple days to read through them. He knew the incident had happed 8 years ago, so he started there. He was a bit surprised to find out she actually had detailed her thoughts around the affair.

The story was very similar to what Steve heard between the Zoe story and the recording. Steve learned that it was not a planned event and did happen spontaneously after several bottles of wine as well. That she had never felt so desired in her life. For the first time, she didn't have to play the role of the good proper wife and was free to live out all her darkest desires. She had apparently had a crush on Tim for some time and that made it even more exciting. Apparently, Tim did not hold back. He didn't care about her feelings, all he cared about was the raw physical sex they were having. She loved how dominant he was and how he took control of the situation. She couldn't believe the dirty things that came out of her mouth. It was like she was speaking in tongues. She was being a naughty dirty girl and needed to be punished. This was a new side to her that she hadn't known existed.

However, after everything was done, she was left with huge feelings of shame and regret. She couldn't believe she let things go so far and was scared about her loss of control. She made Tim promise he would never tell Steve and would forget the whole thing happened. Luckily, Tim agreed with her as he didn't want to end the friendship with Steve either.

Steve continued to read page after page of Cindy's journal. He learned how much she wanted to save their marriage and it was at that time when they started trying for their first child. She wanted to prove she could be the best wife she could. Cindy was relieved to learn that Tim had met Jenny and that his new relationship was getting serious.

There were several times that the 2 couples got together on vacations. Steve made sure to see what the journals said there. Cindy liked Jenny and was happy they had met. Having Jenny around on these vacations, was kind of a relief as all the flirting between Cindy and Tim came to an abrupt halt.

Reading Cindy's journals gave Steve a lot to think about. He knew that Cindy regretted her tryst but also knew that the "other Cindy" lived inside there somewhere. When would that Cindy come back, and with whom? You can only keep a demon down so long. Also, Cindy was not living an honest life. She held secretes, big secretes. Did Steve want to live out the rest of his days with someone who wasn't honest with him or herself? Steve knew he had some decisions to make.

One thing that Steve knew for sure was that his friendship with Tim was finished. In his mind, Tim had slowly seduced his wife and made his move when she was drunk and vulnerable. He could understand that Tim was a man and it's extremely hard to turn down a hot woman throwing herself at you. Cindy however, was his best friend's wife and that friendship with Steve should be worth something. He didn't want to admit it, but he was extremely jealous of Tim. Somehow, Tim was able to release that naughty demon inside her. The side of her Steve never got to see once within his own wife. The side he craved. All he got was the prissy goody two shoes. The fact that she never gave him a glimpse of this person, made him feel completely inadequate.

Because of his friend's actions, Steve was unsure if his marriage would be salvageable. It is one thing to accept you married a woman that isn't that sexual but another to be married to a woman who just isn't sexual with you.

Steve decided to visit an attorney to see what a divorce would look like. As it turned out, it would not be a favorable outcome for him. Living in a "no fault" state, Steve would most likely have to pay alimony and give up custody of his children. Meanwhile, Cindy would keep the house and half of everything else. Eventually, Steve decided it was probably best to forget he ever heard anything about the story and go on living his life as if nothing happened.

When Tim would text Steve, Steve would not respond. Tim eventually figured something was up and asked him what was wrong. It wasn't a good sign when Tim didn't receive an answer to that either. One day, Tim sent Steve a text telling him that he had accepted the job offer and that he and Jenny would be moving back to the area. Tim did get a response this time, it was a photo of the page from Cindy's journal (the confession) and a line of text. "Please lose my number. If you ever come near me or my family again, things will not end well for you."

Fuck!

Tim thought.

He knows everything.

Tim tried to write some sort of apology only to find his number had been blocked.

About six months later Steve came home from work.

"You'll never guess who I ran into today at the supermarket?" Cindy said. "Jenny McCormick! Apparently, she and Tim moved back to the area a few months ago! Why didn't you say anything? I would think having your best friend moving back to town would be worth mentioning!"

"I didn't want to say anything, but Tim and I are no longer on speaking terms. The last time I went out with Tim and Ray, I secretly recorded their conversation to see if Ray would talk shit about me. Well, I was right. He did and Tim went along with it laughing along the whole time. With friends like these, who needs enemies." Steve blasted back. "I have no time for two faced assholes in my life."

"Sorry Steve, I didn't realize," Cindy said. Cindy wanted to press for more info on why he didn't say anything but was quite relieved that Tim was now out of the picture for good. Every time she saw him those old feelings of lust came rushing back. She was tired of having to push them down.

A few weeks later, Cindy was out shopping and ran into Jenny again. The two chatted and Jenny asked Cindy if she wanted to grab lunch.

"I'm not sure if that is a good idea," Cindy said. "Steve and Tim had a falling out so I'm not sure he would be happy about us getting together."

"Oh, nonsense," Jenny replied. "Our husbands can't tell us who we can or can't hang out with! We are friends, hell, we've vacationed together."

Cindy finally caved and the two headed to a café for lunch. Unbeknownst to Cindy, Jenny knew everything that had happened. Though she would never reveal what she knew, she knew about the affair and Steve's finding out about it. She decided to keep her knowledge to herself until she could assess the situation.

Lunch went great with led to a weekly lunch between Cindy and Jenny. Cindy was scared that Steve would find out about the lunches with Jenny and was done hiding things from him. She decided to let Steve know she had lunch with Jenny regularly. Steve was unhappy at first, but then thought he didn't have any issues with Jenny. As long at Tim wasn't there, he really didn't mind.

As the weeks went on, the two became good friends. Cindy learned that Jenny and Tim had entered into swinger lifestyle and would have threesomes with other singles and foursomes with other couples. Cindy was shocked at this news but also intrigued.

"Do you think you and Steve could ever do anything like that?" Jenny asked.

"Steve is too conservative for anything like that," Cindy replied. "What about you Cindy?"

"I don't know. I was raised very religious," Cindy said.

"Don't bullshit me, Cindy!" Jenny snapped back. "Tim and I talk about everything! And I mean everything! I know all about your little tryst in Austin before we met!"

Cindy was mortified, her face turned bright red as she started to hyperventilate.

"Relax!" Jenny replied. "I'm not upset about it. In fact, I find it kind of hot. I'm not a fan about lying to Steve about it but you had a moment of weakness and succumbed to your urges. We are all animals after all. Did you ever fantasize about being with Tim again?"

"Of course, I have, I had never done anything like that before," Cindy replied. "The guilt afterwards though was too much. I feel horrible for doing that to the love of my life. Betraying him in such a way."

"What if there was a way to easy your guilt? If you knew that Steve had had sex with me, would you feel as bad about it?' Jenny asked.

"What? You and Steve? When did this happen?" Cindy was now in a panic.
