Breathlessly I look into her eyes as she looks up at me.
I feel the last of my ejaculate seep from me into her as our fingers let go of one another's and I release the hold over her outstretched arms.
"Maybe blondes do have more fun," I offer as I look up from her eye-line towards her fringe.
"Hardly blonde," Jana Anderson states in reference to the new lighter shade she has dyed her hair since I last saw her, nearly a week ago.
"I like it," I offer with a mischievous grin, "Although I'm sure there's a popular theory regarding cheating partners changing their hair styles."
"Is there?" Jana states raising her hips from the bed beneath me and pressing her pelvis to mine clenching the walls of her vagina tightly around me as she does so. "I've never heard that."
For over three months now Jana Anderson and I have taken every and any clandestine opportunity presented to us to seek one another's company in the throes of our adulterous affair.
Opportunities mainly taken across weekdays and late morning rendezvous that ultimately continued on to middle to late afternoon sessions of deep carnal pleasure. That I worked to all intents and purpose from home and given that Jana did not work at all presented numerous opportunities whilst her husband, Simon Anderson, slaved away working hard at the desperately failing Clarkson Copper. A company in which I had invested substantially and in which I was now beginning to fear I had over invested in as major share holder.
The midweek liaisons that were frequently intersected by midweek overnight stays whilst Simon worked away. To the point I actively encouraged his attendance at the networking events that facilitated nights spent away in hotels up and down the country. Selling him the belief such events generated much needed exposure for the Warehouse Facilities Management company he ran on my behalf, when all the while the ruse only served to gain me ease of access to his Wife's less than hectic schedule.
The only fly in our ointment proving to be the Anderson's eighteen year old Son, Paul, who still lived at the large rural home set in several acres of land in a village twelve miles from the City.
Jana hid her overnight absences to Paul on the lies of a friend enduring a particularly torrid divorce. I cared little if said friend even existed so long as the deceit made Jana available to me.
"I need to get going," Jana offered with a tinge of regret. "Sara is back for the weekend... I'm picking her up at the station at four."
Glancing to the digital display of the bedside table clock I note the time at twelve minutes past three.
"The station's five minutes drive from here," I mischievously state.
"You're insatiable" Jana chuckles, gently pressing her hands to my chest.
I take heed of her unspoken command, slipping myself from her body as roll over to lay across my back. Jana immediately slips from the bed and heads towards the adjoining shower room.
Five minutes later I watch as she peels skintight black Lycra leggings up her legs before slipping into the complimenting design of the equally tight Lycra sports vest which accentuates every curve of her perfect physique. The style of outfit regularly worn to so explain her absence I have no doubt. As I watch her I consider how the thirty-nine-year-old must actually take good care of herself, much to my benefit.
"You enjoyed your work out?" I state on a chuckle.
"Very thorough..." Jana states looking back over her left shoulder as she zips a black Nike hooded sweatshirt over her upper body, "...although I've had more strenuous sessions."
"Be careful what you wish for..." I offer in response to her gentle baiting, "...I can think of some very strenuous... compromised sessions."
"Oh..." Jana states placing her hands to her hips as she stands at the foot of the bed, "....now you have me intrigued."
"Simon's away in Zurich for three nights in a couple of weeks..." I casually state on referencing her husband, "...maybe then would be a good time to explore... to demonstrate."
Jana's eyes narrow as she attempts to second guess what I allude to. My mind dwelling on the wooden chest that sits beneath the bed, and more particularly the contents of the chest.
"Not before?" Jana seductively enquires
"I'd prefer to take my time with such pleasures," I respond as I sit up in the bed. "I can be patient... can you?"
"You tease... have you any plans for the weekend Mister Halliday?" Jana offers stepping around the bed to retrieve her phone from the bedside table.
"Very few," I honestly confirm, "Meeting a former colleague for dinner tonight but beyond that I intend to be doing very little."
The second part of my statement being a lie contained within my potential plans for the evening, plans that could so easily influence the way the rest of the weekend falls.
"Don't have too much fun without me," Jana teases as she steps towards the bedroom door to see herself out.
"I won't," I offer sincerely, whilst contemplating otherwise.

She bored me.
As visually attractive as she was as she sat across the table from me she failed to stimulate any genuine interest let alone trigger any aspect of my sordid imagination.
Her long blonde hair fell past her shoulders over the sheer black loose fitting top that was worn over a visible black bra.
Such was the mundanity of the meeting arranged via an online dating app that as we finished our second drinks my only thoughts were on a reason to leave both the venue and her company.
I had to keep reminding myself of her name such was my lack of concentration or her ability to hold my intrigue. I'm eighty percent certain her name is Millie. As my phone sat between us on the table, a matter I usually considered to be a hideous breach of polite etiquette I watch a notification appear across the screen.
Snatching the phone into my hand I made the pretence of opening the phone.
"Shit," I stated softly shaking my head from side to side. "Shit, shit, shit."
"Everything alright?" Mille enquires after finishing the last of her glass of white wine.
"No..." I offer immediately, "...Not really all the servers have gone down on the IT systems where I work... I'm going to... I have to go... I'm really sorry."
I see the suspicion creep across her face as she casually leans back against the leather seat of booth behind her.
"And let me guess only you can sort these servers on a Friday night?" She offers with a hint of disdain.
"Afraid so..." I state looking up from a pretend scroll of my phone, "I'm really sorry Millie... perhaps we can reconvene some time?"
"Reconvene?" She sneers at me, "I'm not some fucking business meeting... oh and my names Mollie by the fucking way... not that you've been fucking interested in a word I've had to say you miserable bastard."
Mollie snatches her jacket from the seat beside her, before I can even be bothered to offer a response she's taken to her feet and is headed through the crowded bar at a considerable rage fuelled pace.
Draining the last of my drink I look around the busy Irish Bar that we had met in at her suggestion. The venue is busy but far below the level of sophistication I am accustomed to. Finishing my own drink and setting my glass down on the table I decide to brave utilising the Gents toilets as I slip from the booth only to be immediately replaced by a group of five girls who raucously squeeze themselves into the space I vacate.
Minutes later as I push myself back through the crowds that jostle impatiently at the bar for the opportunity to be served with a drink the stench of the men's facilities is still seemingly in my nostrils. Brushing past a male who stumbles back a little, spilling lager from a pint glass that splashes on the floor at our feet I step aside to let an attractive brunette pass by me in the opposite direction.
As I turn my back on her I feel a gentle hand upon my shoulder.
"Hey I know you don't I?"
Turning back towards her I look into slightly inebriated looking eyes of the same girl I've just let pass me, eyes set among stunning if a little too heavily made up features.
"Do you?" I offer with a polite smile, despite no genuine recognition of the brunette.
"Yes..." she says on a beaming smile, "Yes... you work with my Dad."
Given the portfolio of companies under my stewardship and the number of employees across those companies her insinuation hardly narrows the potential of identifying who she is, let alone who her Father might be. Studying her features more closely is I attempt to make recognition.
"Simon..." she states before I can even begin to think, "...Simon Anderson."
In the moment of realisation and revelation I am not entirely sure how to react. I know who she is now, immediately, not just by her revelation of her Father but by her Mother. Believing to the best of my knowledge I've only met the eldest child of the Anderson's once in a very fleeting introduction at the Christmas Dinner Dance hosted five months ago.
"Sara?" I question despite knowing.
"That's right... and you're..." she takes a moments hesitation before stating, "...Markus."
