* * * Sam's perspective * * *
I'm Sam and until recently I thought I had the perfect life – wonderful job with working hours that generally allow quality time with my family, a truly loving wife and an ideal mother, great sex, a very adequate income, and a home in a good neighborhood. What else could one ask for?
My life began to unravel about five months ago. However, I did not become aware of it until about a month ago, though I now remember incidents that were a little out of place or unusual. At the time I was working most nights until 10 P.M. to repair equipment damaged in a range fire. The overtime pay was great, but it sure didn't pay the price of what it cost me.
During that period I came home early one afternoon (about 5:30). Since our garage is detached, I usually go out the back door of the garage, through the back yard, and enter the house through the kitchen door. If the kids are in the back yard I stop to hug and play with them on the way into the house. They were delighted to have me home for supper and Anna, our older daughter, told me that mommy was not feeling good. She said she was feeling so bad that she cried a lot. I went into the house immediately and found Gerri trying to get dinner together. It was obvious that she had been crying. She looked like hell, with red, puffy eyes.
I asked what was troubling her and she literally just collapsed in my arms crying. I helped her to a chair and then reached for the phone to call 911.
She told me she'd be alright and not to call.
I asked her to tell me what was wrong. She was able to stop crying enough to tell me that the 'time of the month' was approaching and she was just having very severe cramps.
I don't know why I let it pass since her 'cramps' lasted two more days and besides, it seemed to me that she had just gotten over her period. But I just dismissed the timing thinking maybe it had been longer than I thought. Each time I would mention going to the doctor she flatly refused saying she would be OK.
Our sex life was out of order because of my late nights and Gerri seemed to have after effects following the cramps. We didn't have sex until after her next period which came about two weeks later. Again, I didn't do the math or start to put any of the pieces together. But why should I? I had no reason to suspect anything.

After my period was over, I felt better about having sex again and lost my fear that something wouldn't be right. We had wonderful sex two or three times a week as Sam had returned to his normal hours.
A few weeks later, as I had gotten myself back in order and was putting my indiscretion behind me, the kids and I made our usual trip to Sharon's. When I saw her that morning, Sharon had that radiant face of a woman who has just had some great sex. Until this day, Sharon had been good about keeping her relationship with Mark out of our conversations. But today at the park Sharon was quick to tell me what a fantastic time she had with Mark last night. I asked her to please change the subject and she did. But the damage had been done. My memories of the romp in the sack with Mark came flooding back. I could even feel wetness start to build.
I can't deny that the fucking Mark gave me was one of the best I ever had, but it was wrong. I wrestled with the recurring thoughts and after a while I was able to dismiss them. When I got home I showered and changed my underwear. The children were late getting down for their naps and I was hot as a firecracker. I knew Sam would be home soon so, after the shower, I put on my short nylon robe and nothing else. When Sam got home, I almost raped him before he could get through the kitchen.
When we went to the bedroom, I didn't even allow him to take a shower before I was on him. We made wild love. I explained that I had been thinking about him all day and that we could shower together when we finished. I did something new. I performed oral sex on him and swallowed his sperm. The oral sex wasn't new but swallowing his load was. Swallowing made me feel good because I was giving him something I had never given anyone else. I discovered swallowing was not all that bad and being the first time it was kind of exciting. Oh, how I love this man and how great he is in the sack. His loving is powerful yet always tender and I always feel so loved and completely sexually fulfilled when we finish. It's not the same as with Mark where it is just pure lust and sexual gratification.
Later when we went to bed for the night, we played with each other for a while before Sam fell asleep. I couldn't sleep right away because of my mental turmoil. I was extremely satisfied and content with our love-making. So why was I getting excited whenever I recalled my time with Mark?
Was it the forbidden fruit aspect? Was it his large cock? Was it the fact that he was black? Was sex with Mark more satisfying? The answers didn't come except to the last question. The answer there was that it definitely wasn't better. However, it was different. I had to admit that the experience had been exciting. Then I shocked myself into tears with an admission to myself that given the right opportunity I would probably do it again. I quietly cried myself to sleep hating that part of me that said I would do it again.

A few weeks after the cramps episode Gerri saw me drive in and met me at the kitchen door wearing her thin nylon robe. She told me the kids were asleep and had started their naps late. She almost dragged me into the bedroom and could hardly wait for me to get my clothed off. I tried to stop her telling her I needed to shower first. She said she had been thinking about me all day, that she was red hot, and that she didn't want to wait. I asked her what this was all about and she told me again that she had just been thinking about me all day and when the kids were late for their naps she thought it would be fun to have a late-afternooner. I couldn't turn down an offer like that.
She shrugged of her robe and I saw there was nothing under the robe but skin. I don't remember her acting like this except during the first few months of our marriage. She was absolutely wild and we hadn't had sex like that for a long time. In fact I couldn't remember when we had had such intense sex. I also remember thinking how unusual our sex had been. She had sucked me off and swallowed my cum. She had never swallowed before and I didn't call her on it. Why should I? It was fantastic and I hoped we could do it again. The shower afterwards was as good as a shower can get.

The next day Sam was called out of town to help with a system installation in a city over 200 miles away. He expected to be gone two weeks and likely wouldn't be home over the weekend.
On Tuesday morning of the second week of his assignment, Sharon called me and told me she was feeling very ill and asked if I could bring the kids and spend the day and maybe the night and look after her kids. She could only offer the sofa for me and air beds for the children. I told her I would be happy to help. I packed a few essentials for an over night stay and the three of us spent the day and the night. I called Sam and told him what had happened and that until I told him otherwise, to call me there or use the cell phone.
As it turned out, Sharon was not feeling better the next day so I agreed to stay on. Again and I let Sam know the situation. That night, or I should say the next morning, Mark came home from work about 2:30 a.m. He went to his room and, apparently while he was preparing for bed, he decided he wanted a glass of milk.
The previous night I had slept like a log and never heard Mark come in. Tonight I was having a fretful sleep and was awake at the slightest noise. Mark passed by me on the way to the kitchen and I could see from the refrigerator light that he was wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.
As he headed back to his room I made a big mistake and said, "Goodnight Mark."
He stopped and turned in my direction and told me he was sorry to have awakened me. I told him it was not his fault, that I was having a restless night. He asked if it was OK if he sat on the edge of the couch and talked while he drank his milk. I told him I didn't mind. He wanted to know how Sharon was doing and then we exchanged pleasantries and talked for a few minutes. He finally got around to telling me that he hoped I wasn't too upset with what had happened but that, seriously, he had really enjoyed it.
I don't know why, but I told him that I had enjoyed it too and that I didn't hold it against him (poor choice of words).
He said, in a joking manner, "I wouldn't mind it if you did hold it against me."
It had been two weeks since Sam and I made love and I was feeling a little horny. Though there wasn't much light except what came in from the street light across the street, I could see Mark's cock starting to rise slightly in his shorts. It gave me a little thrill to know that I was causing 'junior' to get active. His back was to the street light and I could not see his eyes but he could see mine and that I was looking at his shorts. He reached over and gently took my hand and placed it on top of the tent that was forming in his shorts and with a big smile, said, "Do you mind if I hold you against it?"
When my hand rested on his shorts, his cock reacted as it had before and then started to rise some more. I started to withdraw my hand but instead, I found myself wrapping my fingers around it. Again, I knew I should stop but I also knew what was coming if I let things continue. The memories of our first encounter flooded my head and I found myself in turmoil. My logic finally gave in to the thinking that infidelity is not based on the number of times it happens. It is based on the fact that it happened at all. Added to the fact that I was feeling horny, I let lust take control.
