The garage door opened effortlessly and I came to a halt. My husbands car was parked in it's usual spot already and for a few moments I sat motionless, staring ahead. I knew he was inside and I dreaded seeing him. I felt as if "Slut" was emblazoned across my forehead, a blinking neon announcement to the whole world. When he touched me would he feel the imprint of another man's hands on my body. Would he be able to tell that I had enjoyed the musky scent of another man's leavings in my body and when he kissed me how could he not tell that these lips had kissed, tasted, enjoyed another man's body.
I dreaded it, and this was just one more thing to be angry at Lee Taylor about. Anger, but perhaps more at myself than anyone, because no matter how many times I wanted to call it rape it hadn't been. I had been a willing participant, and even more. I finally realized I would have to go inside so I got out removed the small bag from the trunk and entered the house. It had always been such a haven but I now saw HIM everywhere. On the couch, teasing me, in the hallway, taunting me, and, and oh my, in our bed, creating in me a wanton desire that had me panting and screaming out for his hard cock. I bit my lip, anxiously and moved through the house looking for my husband.
I found him in the bedroom changing into a tux and I suddenly realized it was Saturday and that the gala for LTT Enterprises was that night. I panicked and wrapped my arms around John hugging him close. "Hmm," he chuckled, "Missed me that much eh?" He returned my embrace but when I tried to deepen the kiss and began to open his shirt he grasped my hands and smiled. "So, you did miss me? But honey, we don't have time. Remember the building dedication is tonight?"
"Lets just skip it," I suggested. "Let's just stay home, make love, talk, please?" He started to shake his head and I continued on, "I missed you so much this week. In fact, lets go back up to the cabin. I was just up there this week. It was so peaceful, no phones, no television, no LTT Enterprises. Lets go, just the two of us." I kissed him desperately but he just continued to shake his head, pushing me away from him.
"We can't Maggie," you should know that. "I think I am really making some strides with Lee. He sent me on this extended trip this week and I know he is starting to trust my judgment. He is turning to me for advice and suggestions. I think the work I did on the Avar Project impressed him. This is a critical time. I can't just not show up and damn, Maggie, I can't believe you are asking me this. Why Lee felt so bad that he had to extend my trip and leave you alone that he told me he would stop by and check on you, and he did, didn't he?"
"Yes," I replied quietly, "He stopped by the other night."
"And he had an acquaintance in New York ship you something special to wear for the party tonight."
"NO," I blurted out, "I am wearing my own dress!" "No honey," he insisted, "Wait until you see this." He pulled a designer bag out of the closet where he had hung it.
I expected something cheap and tawdry, but I should have known better. It was simply the most exquisite dress I had ever seen. From the front it appeared modest, some might even say severe, with a high collar that fitted about the throat and long sleeves. The color was like the ocean, blues, greens, even some whites, like the foam that capped the turbulent waves. but turn it sideways and your noticed the seductive details of the design, and the bare shoulders, the open back! For the entire back of the dress was open, leaving a wide expanse of skin showing, dipping down to the waistline.
