My first story, telling a tale that is close to the truth.
Please forgive my mistakes and inexperience.
.........
The papers have finally come through. I read through the legal terms, not understanding most of it, but knowing that it proves that I am finally rid of the man that I have wasted most of my adult life with.
It was great when we were teenagers; meeting up of an evening, going out with friends and having fun. Then things got serious and we decided to move in together. The tiny house that we rented for three years now represents the happiest time of my life, when we set up home for the first time. We would rush home from work, cook together, then spend the evenings in each others arms, watching TV or listening to music together. That time was all about saving up for a home of our own, every spare penny saved and banked in our joint account, destined to safeguard our future.
Sex was free of course, so we spent most evenings exploring each others bodies, trying new ways to please each other and keep things exciting, the TV often the soundtrack to our sex life, only drowned out by our noisy orgasms, usually followed by banging on the wall from our elderly churchgoing neighbours, who frowned on any public display of affection and no doubt thought that our house was a den of iniquity, probably imagining us conjuring up the devil to help consummate our sinful union.
I can't remember what made us eventually tie the knot, maybe it was to avoid the shame cast on our relationship by our neighbours as well as some of Dave's family, but we let the parents arrange a formal wedding and unenthusiastically went along with the process.
The wedding day was fun though and I admit to enjoying the feeling of being a princess for the day, finding it quite arousing to catch the eye of Dave's friends eyeing up the bride after a few drinks, their girlfriends and wives gathered at one table, chatting away while their men lusted over the bride and the bridesmaids lined up at the head table.
The best man Tony even made a pass at me, after I granted his drunken request to kiss the bride, before whisking me away to dance. That kiss was a little too passionate and lasted way too long and I had to push him away, trying to make a joke of it. I was embarrassed of course and he apologised, but when he pulled me in to dance and I felt his erection pressing against me, I had to hide my arousal and break off the dance before he realised and took things too far.
The whole day had made me desperate to get back to our honeymoon suite and strip naked for my man, but a little too much champagne allowed my desires to get the better of me and, as I sat talking to some family members, I couldn't get that kiss out of my mind and the memory of his cock pressing against me.
When my new husband Dave disappeared to check our room, I edged back toward Tony, curious to see if that erection was a permanent affliction, or if it was for my benefit alone.
The next few minutes of that day defined my life from then to now, as he looked at me and smiled, moving away from his friends and coming to talk to me. I felt like I would explode with desire, and if it wasn't for my mother in law's intervention, I would have let him drag me away and willingly lifted my skirts for him. Instead, he sheepishly apologised and stumbled away, leaving me to secretly imagine what it would have felt like to have lifted my wedding dress and to drop myself onto his erection.
In the years since, I have occasionally wished that I had given in to Tony's advances that day, maybe acting as if I was offended, but winking at him or licking my lips, to encourage him to try again, when everybody's backs were turned.
Tony had a reputation amongst the girls as a fantastic lover, albeit a promiscuous one, something I realised when my friend Jill met up with and eventually married him, despite being gifted an array of STD's over the years by the man she was then besotted by.
When I recently asked her why she stuck by him, she smiled and whispered that she could forgive him anything, because he was so good in bed. That conversation led to us going on to discuss our individual sex lives and I soon realised what I was missing.
Dave has been OK in bed and usually gave me an orgasm, although rarely through penetration and, although our sex life dipped considerably once we were married, I was satisfied with my lot.
But, after that conversation with Jill, I wondered if there was something missing in my love life.
Jill had made a comment which I was later to think about and, as I brooded over her words, I began to question small events and tales that Dave had told me, those questions eventually leading to me discover what an unfaithful swine I had married.
