Part 2 Recap:
Heather barely manages to resist Nick's advances, which makes him want her even more. It also makes him set his sights on me, and he comes up with a plan to deal with us both. He invites us to spend our anniversary weekend at his beach house with him and his brother, Brad, who has a kink about sexually dominating straight men. During a frightful confrontation with police, Nick reveals to me his intention to try one more time to seduce Heather this weekend. He tells me I am not to interfere or else he will frame me for a crime I didn't commit.
I had my first cause for concern when I came home the following afternoon. I had left work early that day as Heather and I had planned so we could leave in time to get to the cottage by 6 p.m. I found her standing in the bathroom in front of the sink and mirror in nothing but her underwear. It was my favorite set, the one I told her was the sexiest she owned: a light pink bra with matching panties adorned with lacy trim, both with a tiny feminine bow in the center. She had obviously just taken a bath - her legs were freshly shaved, her body glistened with moisture, and I could smell the intoxicating combination of feminine scents from her shampoo, deodorant, and perfume - and had opened the door to let the steam out.
It always excited me to see her this way, with so much of her beautiful body on full display - her long, shapely legs; her lovely rounded butt, which the delicate pink fabric of her panties was clinging tantalizingly to; her hourglass figure with her wide hips exactly the width of her shoulders and wonderfullycurved waist; the smooth, buttery skin of her back entirely exposed except for the thin straps of her bra; her adorable, delightfully placed freckles; and, from the reflection in the mirror, I could see her flat tummy with her cute little belly button and her generous breasts bulging against her bra cups, practically overflowing and pushed up spectacularly.
Within seconds, though, a few details I noticed had me concerned. For one thing, hanging next to the vanity was a dress I had never seen before. It was pink, the same shade as her underwear, and it was sleeveless and short - so short, in fact, that it would barely reach halfway to her knee. I knew she would look very sexy in it. It was obviously what she planned to wear to the cottage, and this surprised me. I expected her to wear something much more casual, like she would normally wear to an outing such as this - a simple pair of shorts and a tank top over her swimsuit, for example. After all, she knew I was planning just to wear my swim shorts and a T-shirt since I assumed we might be doing at least some swimming that first day. I never expected her to want to be this dressed up.
And then I noticed she had styled her long brown hair the way I always said looked the best on her, which I knew would have taken at least an hour. She normally saved that for very special occasions. And then I also noticed her fingernails and toenails filed to perfection and painted pink to match her underwear and dress, which I knew must have taken another hour at least. And now, she was working on her make-up with meticulous care, more so than usual. I was used to her putting a lot of time and attention into her appearance since she started working as Nick's secretary - it was just a necessary part of the job, I had always told myself - but this was far beyond her normal routine. It must have taken her most of the day.
"Hi, honey," she said cheerfully as I entered.
"New dress?" I asked, trying to mask my concern.
"Yeah," she replied nonchalantly, leaning in close to the mirror and continuing to work on her eyelashes. "I needed something like that, so I ordered it a few days ago."
I nodded. "I expected you just to wear a pair of shorts and shirt over your swimsuit," I replied, still trying to hide my apprehension.
"I was going to, but I'm not even sure if I'll be swimming tonight," she said, as if this was an adequate explanation for why she would feel the need to be so dressed up.
I nodded again, still unsatisfied, and decided to let it go at that to avoid arousing suspicion.
"By the way," she added with a playful expression on her face, "your package came today."
I knew what she was referring to - the lingerie I had ordered earlier in the week. It was a light blue corset bustier with garters and a matching thong and black thigh-high stockings topped with lacy trim, the kind of thing I had only ever dreamed of seeing her in. Until yesterday, I couldn't wait for her to wear it for me - in fact, I had been planning to have her put it on for me later today when we eventually retired to our room for the night - but now, any excitement I might have had about that was gone. Ever since yesterday, all I could think about was what Nick intended to do this weekend - or at least, what he intended to
try
to do. And, although I had continued to reassure myself that Heather would never do something like that, it was extremely concerning to me that she was putting so much time and effort into her appearance. I didn't have to wonder why, either, because I was pretty sure I knew exactly what was going on.
You see, I have always had a keen understanding of the female brain. I knew how it worked. I knew how any woman would be extremely attracted to Nick. And I knew the feminine subconscious was capable of guiding a woman's thoughts, feelings, and decision-making process in such a way as to maximize their chances of winning the attention of the most attractive men when they are ovulating. It was scientifically proven. A woman would just so happen to decide to dress more provocatively and find herself more concerned about looking sexy and desirable when she was ovulating. And then she would just so happen to develop an irresistible urge to go dancing or bar-hopping or to any other place where there would be lots of good-looking guys eager to score. In my experience, women weren't even aware of this about themselves, and the female brain was very good at hiding it. They wouldn't think to themselves, "Gee, I'm ovulating, and I want to get fucked and impregnated by the hottest guy possible, so I'm going to make myself look as sexy as I can and hit the clubs." They would just think, "Gee, I would feel really good wearing that sexy new dress, and it would be so much fun to go out dancing tonight." And they would believe it.
I understood this all too well, and I knew that, based on when Heather had her period last, she would probably be ovulating any day. Therefore, she was at her most fertile, and at her most susceptible to the lure of a man like Nick. I knew it was very possible that Heather's own subconscious mind was aware that she would be in the presence of an extremely desirable man this weekend and it was nudging her to want to look as good as she could for him, though she might not even be aware of it.
As hard as this was to accept, I knew it might be true. Heather might be my wife, but she is still a woman, and she isn't immune to these biological mechanics that have been produced by millions of years of Darwinian sexual selection. The excitement I felt earlier in the week that this trip just so happened to align with this part of her cycle was replaced with abject uneasiness. But I once again tried to reassure myself. Sure, she might find herself attracted to Nick. And sure, her subconscious mind might be subtly guiding her to want her to look good for him. But that doesn't mean she is going to sleep with him. Even if she is biologically hard-wired to
want
to, she wouldn't do it, certainly not with me right there - especially considering she had held out on him all this time.
Not wanting to let on that anything was amiss, I placed my hand on her butt, enjoying a momentary thrill at the smooth feel of the delicate fabric above the soft curve of her bottom. "Your hair looks great," I said. She smiled at me appreciatively and then got back to work on her eyelashes.
I finished packing the rest of our things and waited for her, trying to contain my trepidation. It was another half hour before Heather finally emerged from the bathroom, looking alarmingly stunning and just as pretty as I thought she would in the new pink dress. It was held up by straps that were just wide enough to conceal those of her bra, and the fabric clung tightly to her bust and waist before fanning out into a skirt that accentuated her feminine hour-glass figure. The neckline was low enough to reveal an enticing amount of cleavage, enhanced as it was by her bra. She needed my help zipping it up, and I couldn't resist the urge to place my hands on her waist, pull her into me, and give her neck a kiss. I allowed the hardness of my rapidly growing arousal to poke against her butt, wanting her to experience first-hand my appreciation of her and how much she excited me.
"I love you, baby," I said.
"Aww, I love you, too," she responded warmly, leaning her head into me as my lips brushed against her neck.
