With trepidation, Kristen stared at her cell phone. The caller ID indicated the call was from her husband, Jason, who was out of town on business. He would return tomorrow.
Kristen's concern about answering the call had nothing to do with her love for Jason and everything to do with the fact that she was, at the moment, standing naked in Rachel's bathroom. That, in and of itself, wouldn't have mattered if Rachel hadn't been standing naked right next to her, still recovering from an intense orgasm brought about by Kristen's fingers buried deep in her pussy and ass.
The two women had discovered a passion that neither had realized during a night in which they engaged in their first Sapphic experience, and while they were both exhilarated by their coupling, Kristen wasn't sure how or if she was going to break the news to her husband.
"Hello?" Kristen answered.
"Hey, gorgeous! How's it going? Jason asked.
"Great, baby." Kristen said. "Where are you?"
"Good news! I'm at the airport. I'm coming home a day early because we finished up on site, and I was able to get a standby seat. I'll be home at 2 p.m."
"Great." Kristen said again, but her voice lacked its usual enthusiasm.
"Are you OK, honey?" Jason asked.
Rachel came up behind Kristen and slipped her arms around her friend for support.
"Sure, baby, I'm just a little ... distracted this morning," she said, feeling Rachel's hand travel down her stomach to slip between her legs. "I can't wait to see you," she managed to say without moaning.
"Me too," Jason said. "Will you pick me up from the airport?"
"No, I thought I'd make you walk home," she joked.
"Man, I guess the romance is gone. You can sure tell we've been married a long time," he pouted.
Kristen laughed. "Oh, quit whining you big baby. You know I'll be there with bells on."
"That's a little more than I was hoping you'd be wearing," Jason replied.
"What's a matter baby? Did you miss me?" Kristen asked playfully. "Do you neeeed me?"
"Let's just say it's been hard without you," Jason teased.
"Well, I'll see if I can't soften you up when you get home," she said.
"OK, I'll see you at 2. I love you, Kristen."
"I love you too."
Kristen disconnected from the call and leaned back into Rachel, who still had her arms around her.
"It's going to be OK," Rachel promised.
"I hope you're right," Kristen said distantly.
***
Kristen put on a colorful sundress that came halfway to her knees and checked her look one more time in the mirror. She had to hurry; she didn't want to be late getting to the airport. She hated it when Jason had to wait for her when he arrived home.
She and Marley, their golden retriever, bounded out to her Camry and hopped in.
Marley, named after legendary reggae singer Bob Marley, was almost as excited as Kristen to see Jason.
She lowered the window in the back so Marley could hang his head out the window, tuned into Radio Margaritaville on her Sirius satellite radio and backed out of the driveway.
Jimmy Buffett was singing about his "bank of bad habits," which reminded her of Rachel's steamy recounting of the sex she and Mark, her banker boyfriend, had had a couple of days ago. Rachel had mentioned that Mark had left a large "deposit" in her bank of bad habits. It didn't take any imagination at all to know what she was talking about.
"Ummm" Kristen thought. "I am glad Jason's coming home."
Her sexual encounter with Rachel, as satisfying as it had been, couldn't replace the feeling of a big hard cock between her legs.
Marley's ears flapped in the wind, and his tongue hung out the side of his mouth. His nose sniffed a mile a minute. Kristen laughed at the sight. She never understood why dogs loved to ride with their faces out the window.
"Hang on, boy," she said. "We're going to pick up your daddy right now."
Kristen pulled into the airport arrival area and parked the car next to the curb. Fortunately, they lived in a town where the airport was fairly small, so you could get away with parking at the curb despite heightened security.
She waited in the car for Jason, not wanting to leave Marley by himself and knowing that she'd never pass the rambunctious golden retriever off as a Seeing-Eye Dog in the airport.
She watched as a group of people started filtering down to the baggage claim area and spotted Jason toting his computer bag. At 6'3, he was taller than most of those around him, so he was easy to spot.
He moved gracefully through the crowd, his fit body attesting to his regular exercise regimen and the fact he tried to play tennis three or four times a week. At 45, Jason no longer had the sculpted physique of young men half his age, but Kristen had no complaints.
She got out of the car, leaving Marley to hang his head dejectedly out the window. He whimpered as she left him behind.
"Don't worry, boy. I'll be right back."
Jason saw his beautiful wife approaching and grinned.
