I was woken early the following morning by a band of sunlight streaming through a gap in the curtains. For a few moments I was confused by my strange surroundings but as my brain cleared, the events of the previous evening filled my mind.
For the second time in my life I had woken naked in bed next to our long-time fried Paul after a night of passionate sex. Paul, the man who was now sleeping deeply alongside me, his handsome face towards mine, his eyes closed like a child's. A warm glow came to my tummy as I remembered all he had said to me and we had done together since the kids and I had arrived angry and unannounced at his door the previous evening.
I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling, listening to the softness of his slow breathing alongside me. How different this felt from the time he had first seduced me on holiday in Wales; when I had woken wracked with guilt and had plunged headlong into the weeks of sheer hell that had ended with the termination of my unexpected pregnancy.
No, this morning was entirely different. This time there had been no sounds of my husband's infidelity coming from the next room to hurt me and justify my own misdemeanours. This time, instead of reluctantly acquiescing to Paul's advances, I had willingly submitted to his considerable seductive powers and joined whole-heartedly in the night of passion that had followed.
My inexperience as a lover had shown embarrassingly on many occasions but he had been a patient teacher and as a result, I had lost more and more of my inhibitions and enjoyed a night of mind-numbing ecstasy at his hands; a night of lovemaking even better than the heights to which he had taken me during my only previous infidelity.
I took a deep breath and stretched out under the duvet. My legs and hips ached from the pounding he had given them and I blushed as I remembered how the pressure of his powerful body had felt between my legs and the feeling of his strong firm body deep within my own. My nipples were sore too and I winced as the cotton of the duvet cover rasped against their sensitive teats when I turned. I lay there still, closed my eyes and tried to count the number of times he had taken me during the night but couldn't be sure - I had fallen asleep on him in the early hours as I had done a year ago in Wales.
My mind wandered as I lay in the early morning silence. I could hear the sound of movement coming from downstairs which could only mean the kids were waking. For a moment I worried that Emily would come upstairs on her usual 'find Mummy' visit but there was no sign of it and I remembered that the bedroom door was most definitely locked. I relaxed again and listened to Paul's deep, masculine breathing a little longer, thinking how unlike my husband's it sounded; long slow and deep instead of Tom's soft, shallow inhalations.
I frowned as I thought of Tom; how he had deceived me for so long and wondered whether he and Paul's wife Lisa were lying in their hotel bedroom as Paul and I were now lying in their marital bed.
How could my husband have done this to me? After all he and I had said to each other; promised to each other and been through, how could my husband have maintained his affair with Lisa for so long? For a moment, all the pain of his deceit washed over me again, followed by vivid memories of the heartache and guilt of the abortion. My hands flew unconsciously to my lower belly and I felt large, slow tears running from the corner of my closed eyes, across my cheeks and dropping onto the pillow.
"Are you ok, Sandie!" Paul's voice alongside me was soft and earnest. I turned to look into his anxious eyes and tried to blink away the tears.
"It's... it's nothing, really." I mumbled.
"No regrets, I hope," he whispered.
"Not about last night. Not about us," I said truthfully.
He rolled onto his back and reached out for my hand under the duvet. Finding it, he interlocked our fingers, squeezed gently and for a while we both stared at the band of sun moving across the ceiling.
"I've been dreaming of last night ever since..." Paul began then stopped.
"Really?"
"Couldn't you tell?" he asked, "I don't get as passionate as that with just anyone!"
"Don't tease me," I said, my face red with embarrassment, "but thank you for being so... patient with me."
There was another pause.
"It was worth the effort. And the wait!"
His voice was alive with mischief as he rolled onto his side and looked me straight in the eye. I felt his fingers on my tummy, stroking my tingling flesh gently from the underside of my boobs to the tangled triangle between my upper thighs. Once again I felt the unmistakeable signs of my battered body beginning to respond despite its tiredness.
"I'm pleased you thought so!"
I smiled, letting my legs relax and part slightly as his lips found my cheek, then my ear, then my own lips. Then he raised himself onto his right elbow and, as his tongue worked its way into my open mouth, I felt his fingers gently working their way through the messy, semen-matted tangle of my pubic hair and into the top of my slit where he began to part my lips in search of the swollen clitoris that lurked within.
"Ouch!" I winced, giggling.
"Did I hurt you? I'm sorry, I...
"No, I'm sorry," I smiled into his worried face, "I'm a bit sore and a bit... sticky..."
"Oh... Um... sorry...," he snatched his hand away from my vulva but I grabbed his wrist.
"I didn't say no," I whispered, "but we'll have to be very quiet."
He grinned and the bed creaked slightly as he lifted his body over mine. This time I opened my thighs without hesitation to make room for his strong, athletic legs. His cock was already hard and a thrill of anticipation passed through me when I felt its mass fall on my lower belly as he placed his strong arms either side of my shoulders and his beautiful, fit body loomed over me, blocking out the increasing sunlight.
"Don't let me hurt you," he hissed softly.
I just smiled and reached down to find the shaft I wanted so badly. Something warm and smooth brushed against the back of my hand and a moment later my fingers closed around the large, firm, smooth sided pole of muscle that had already brought me so much pleasure. I slid my grip down the shaft until I felt wiry pubic hair against my hand then ran my fingers back up the shaft until its smooth, rounded head nestled in my palm.
"Oh my God! Sandie..."
He breathed in noisily as I squeezed his shaft firmly, still amazed at its raw, masculine strength then directed the smooth, swollen head towards my opening, carefully parting my puffy outer then my sore inner lips until the tip was just inside my loose, ludicrously slippery vagina. I released his erection, spread my thighs a little wider and lay back in excited anticipation.
A heartbeat later, I felt the muscles of Paul's legs and back contract, the bed rocked slightly and in a single smooth thrust his incredible cock plunged deep into my unresisting body, not pausing in its inexorable progress until his pubic hair ground firmly against the top of my slit and the thick base of his shaft stretched my opening wide.
"Ohhh!" I moaned under my breath in a mixture of pleasure, fullness, complete surrender and, I have to confess, a certain amount of pain as the extent of my soreness was suddenly revealed.
"Too painful?" Paul asked, smiling down on me but with concern in his eyes.
I shook my head and smiled back but bit my lip slightly as I felt him draw back until just the tip of his cock was still within me.
"Mmmhh!"
I moaned aloud as his lower belly slapped against mine and his cock was driven deep into me again. His strong thighs forced mine wider apart allowing him to penetrate an extra inch or so into me until his head collided with my cervix and gave me what felt like a small punch in the belly to go with the stinging from my slit.
"Mmmmh! Mmmh!"
The bed began to creak as he thrust into me for a third then a fourth time, my rapidly increasing lubrication easing the soreness and making it easier for him to penetrate me deeper and deeper, which he did over and over again. I felt filled, I felt fulfilled, I felt young and attractive again.
"Oh yessss," I hissed, 'Yess oh yes fuck meeee... fuck meee..."
The sound of my own slurred voice surprised me, but the words surprised me even more. They clearly surprised Paul too because his half-closed eyes opened wide, a determined look spread across his face and his body tensed as he began to thrust harder, deeper and faster into me.
"Mmmmmmyyyyeessssss!"
It felt like my body was opening like a flower beneath him as he relentlessly penetrated me, the soreness now overcome, lost in the wet slapping sounds of his cock churning my juices. A wall of heat began to ripple outwards from my vulva, across my belly and down my legs, building in intensity with each powerful thrust.
Pauls' voice joined mine as the wave of pleasure rose higher and higher within me, making my spine tingle and my fists clench and unclench on their own. I grabbed his strong shoulders in my hands, sinking my fingernails deep into his flesh then raking them down his upper arms as his thrusts grew faster and faster.
'Creak-creak, creak-creak, creak-creak'
The bed moaned and groaned beneath us as Paul's body hammered into mine and a second, new wave of climax began to wash over me. I bit my lip harder but couldn't stop the moans escaping my mouth as the first serious orgasmic pulse struck me hard, opening my eyes until they felt as if they were about to pop out of my head and making the muscles of my tummy go into spasm.
"OhhhhhhhoooowwwWWW!"
