I'd like to thank the many writers and readers of Literotica for all the positive feedback from the first part of this story, it convinced me to go ahead with a second chapter. There will be at least one more chapter, if not more, I'm not sure yet, but please send me your feedback!
-------------------------------------------------
As I saw the door close, a rush of emotions came over me. I was happy, I was sad, I was angry, I was depressed ... God I was just so confused, and just flat out stunned. I slowly made my way back to my work truck, not quite sure if any of this I was experiencing was real. I finally regained my senses and told myself I still had a full day of work to accomplish. I struggled through it, but I did accomplish it eventually.
That evening I came home and tried to unwind. I kicked my boots off at the door, I headed to the fridge, pulled out a longneck, and sunk my weary body into my chair. I turned on the television and channel surfed for a bit. My mind started to relax, until I absentmindedly reached into my shirt pocket. I fingered that piece of paper, and I started to reflect on the morning's encounter. I was a bit numbed by my beer, but not enough to stop me from thinking about all of this.
I slowly pulled the check out of my pocket and stared at it. She wasn't fooling around. She wrote me a rather sizable check. Almost as much as I made in a day of work. Why did she pay me, though? Did she think I was broke? Was she taking pity on me? Thinking about this more, I started to feel bitter. I felt very cheap, I realized I had been used by this woman. I started to crumple this check in my fist, but I stopped. I fixed my gaze on her name - Miranda. So now the mystery woman was revealed to me. My eyes skipped to the next line, looking at the phone number she listed on her check. I thought about calling her, then I remembered what she said to me, that this was only a one-time thing. If she was just using me for this one indiscretion, then my calling her would be highly inappropriate and make a situation even worse.
Why should I call her, anyways? For God's sakes, she was married! I definitely didn't need a jealous husband trying to stalk me. She also said she wanted me to call her later this week, so maybe I will. Did I just think what I think I did? Damn, I really was screwed up here. I opened the drawer on the table next to my chair, and I placed the check inside. Finishing off my beer, I decided to clean up and just head to bed early. I wasn't even hungry for dinner.
Over the next several days, I felt tempted in a way that I had never before, and never since. Her name burned on my mind as I tried to do my job. My nights had become restless. One night relived our indiscretion in our dreams, and when I woke up I found myself aroused. I instinctively jerked myself off. I found my orgasm unsatisfying, however. This was starting to consume me, and not in a good way, but I'll be damned if I could keep my mind off of it. I finally decided to call her on a Thursday afternoon. She was excited to finally hear from me. She asked me to come over to her home Friday afternoon for lunch. As soon as I got back to the office, I put in for a personal day.
As I pulled into her driveway Friday afternoon, I had nothing but butterflies in my stomach. I didn't understand why I was letting myself go through with this. I was looking forward to a decent lunch. I was hoping that she'd turn me down. I was hoping that I'd make love to her this time. Why wasn't I driving away from this? I rationalized that lunch would be okay, and we'd just play it by ear. As she instructed, I walked around to the rear of the house, where I found a large and ornate garden. Lots of shrubs and flowers, small decorative pools with lillies in them, and a red brick path leading up to a large patio. I worked my way through this small maze and then up a small flight of steps. When I got to the top I obseved a shaded area with a patio table, two chairs, and an appetizer of fruits and cheeses laid out. I looked around for Miranda, when I didn't see her I called out her name. Still not getting a response, I decided to have a seat at the table. I noted an opened and chilled bottle of wine next to the table. Miranda definitely had more luxurious tastes than I did. I looked back towards the entryway to the house just as she started to come outside. To describe her as hot would be an understatement. A red miniskirt that stopped at mid-thigh, a halter top, and a pair of sandals. I also noticed that her wedding band was missing, something which was on her the other day. It only reminded me of why I shouldn't be doing this.
"Steve!," she exclaimed. "I'm glad you decided to show up. It would have been such a pitty to waste all this food if you hadn't."
She came over to me, cupped my face in her right hand, and kissed me on my left cheek. I sunk into my seat a little, unsure if I had done the right thing. If Miranda noticed, she didn't let on. She pulled her chair up next to mine and prepared me a plate.
"Some wine?" she asked, as she started to pour me a glass.
"No, thank you. Ice water is fine for me. I'm not much of a wine drinker."
"I love wine. It pleases the palette, it comforts the body. And on a gorgeous day like this, it complements the weather."
