Author's Notes: Gang Aft Agley is a work of fiction, no characters or situations have any basis in known persons. The story continues the theme I generally use, that of a happily married couple wherein the wife attempts to add a lover to the family mix. In this story the couple has a girl child. Let me be very clear, the child is not involved in any way in any sexual activities of her mother or father. She is simply part of the family. A few of the many poems of the great Scots bard Robert Burns are used as a device to carry the plot in this story. They are gathered from an excellent website of the British Broadcasting Corporation dedicated to the work and life of Burns:

. In addition to the text, Burns poems and songs are available aurally as read by very notable British persons including some by HRH Charles, Prince of Wales. At least two of the poems used in this story are also available by various artists on YouTube.Com, Ae Fond Kiss and My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose. Gang Aft Agley is written in four chapters and each will be submitted simultaneously. Publication schedule, of course, lies with Literotica editors.
CHAPTER FOUR -- AFTERMATH
Robert waited with anticipation for his girls; he opened the front door as soon as he saw his wife's car turn into their driveway. Leezabad almost couldn't wait. She began to unclip her seatbelt before her Momma had the car stopped. An adult hand pressed her back into the seat.
"Wait, you know better. Your Dada wants you to be safe first." Nancy relaxed as she shifted to PARK, "Okay Leezabad."
Daughter jumped from the car, ran to her Dada and jumped to him. Robert caught her and they hugged tight. Leezabad was all words and hugs trying to greet her father; it had been all of two weeks since she had spent a week of vacation with just the two of them.
By now Nancy was out of the car and beside them at the door. She made a three way hug, kissed Robert on his cheek because that was all she could easily reach, and tucked her head on husband's shoulder. "I'm glad to be home too," she said softly. Robert put Leezabad down and turned to his wife for a real homecoming kiss. Iced tea and snacks awaited travellers in the kitchen; unloading the car could wait for a while.
Nancy kicked off her shoes and wandered through her home. She needed to restore memories, to rebuild her space. Wriggle toes in the living room's carpet pile; look at the photographs on the wall. There's Robert and I on our wedding day, and Leezabad's birth picture in the hospital the day she was born. Nancy twirled and her eyes took in the familiar of her life. "It just feels good to be home," she almost yelled.
Robert stood in the entrance to the living room smiling at his wife. They locked eyes and he held his arms wide beckoning. Nancy ran to her husband's arms. "It feels especially good to be home with you my husband. I can hardly wait until tonight. I am going to ravish you in our bed. We need to make up for a summer apart."
Leezabad cooperated. She was tired from vacation and travel. Yawns broke out shortly after dinner. Bath and bed came half an hour early for the youngest Winthrop.
"Nightgown or none? I'll dress just for you or gladly go natural."
"Let's just do a come as you are party. Last one in is an I don't know what."
One night together couldn't make up for a summer apart, but Nancy tried; Robert tried as well. Their first together was frantic; husband and wife sexed like they hadn't been together in months. They hadn't been in bed together since May and it was now the end of August, months. Neither partner wanted to prolong their first time. When through they held one another and kissed.
Kiss and cuddle led to recovery for Robert's erection. The second love making was just that; Robert very slowly, lovingly, enflamed passion in his wife. Nancy responded to her mounting passion with kisses, touches and loving words. Both man and woman reached climax together. They lay beside one another holding hands and breathing hard.
"I know I am home. We can save some for tomorrow night. I love you Robert Winthrop; I love you so much." Nancy felt no guilt pledging her love. Her feelings toward her Robert were absolute. Tonight she had no summer lover; James didn't exist.
Robert kept Nancy close as if she might get away. He dwelled in his mind on tonight and the summer now past. There just is no comparison to sleeping the night with a woman you know you love as to a woman you know you are not allowed to love.
Nancy fixed a big Sunday morning family breakfast; three at the table felt so right. Adults wanted time to read the Sunday paper; Leezabad asked for permission to go next door to renew a friendship. "Just one hour, honey, then you and I need to put all of your things away and get you ready for school this week."
While helping her daughter organize her clothes Nancy noticed several new outfits hanging in the closet. She was surprised that Robert would take their daughter shopping for anything more than play clothes. "Did your Dada buy you some new school outfits?"
"Yes, Momma, just a few though. He said I grew too much to wear my old clothes." Leezabad posed, "He is right; can't you tell?"
Nancy could tell; she had made a scene over her daughter's growth when Leezabad came to Nancy after her vacations with everyone else. She was still surprised that Robert would think of school clothes or even have enough sense of what kids should wear to help Leezabad pick out what clothes to buy. Nancy said as much to her daughter.
"Oh, Miss Marjorie went with us. She's one of Dada's friends. She was more helpful than Dada picking clothes, but his credit card did help too."
Nancy chuckled; her daughter was growing up fast. Leezabad already knew about twisting her Dada's credit card around her little fingers. I will have to ask Robert a few questions about Miss Marjorie, was Nancy's first thought, and then James came to her mind. I have things to tell him and purchases to reveal as well.
Later that evening Nancy told Robert his daughter paid him a woman's complement.
"A what? A woman's complement, what is that? She's still my little girl."
