My husband Dan didn't understand what had happened that night because I refused to tell him. My tears had ignited his concern, but like the man he is he couldn't discern any more than my discomfort. Not knowing what else to say, I diverted his concern by mumbling about a bad dream.
Had this been a bad dream? How could something bad feel so good? It certainly wasn't a dream at the time, although the mysterious intruder had literally disappeared in front of me - or should I say, from atop me - when Dan had awakened.
Could a dream effect me in such a way? My whole body was quivering in the throes of orgasm, my pussy clenching in spasms around the heat of the intruder's hard penis. Could a dream leave semen oozing from my ecstatic hole?
No question, though, I was awake to try to answer Dan's concerned questions as to why I was sobbing. I could feel the trickles of the intruder's sperm at the same time. The only recourse that ended the confusion was to bury myself in my husband's arms.
The day after was strange. I was a mixture of emotions; happy, sad, longing, and even anxious. I felt dizzy, as if I were starting one of those rides at an amusement park that spins you around until you swoon.
Dan was darling. He raced around the house helping me unpack. Where he kept such reserves of energy I may never know. His work all week was long and tedious. Well, perhaps not tedious for him. He claimed the life of an attorney was not tedious, but I could see the lie in his eyes. Bless his heart; he was doing it all for me. It was these unspoken times when my love for him knew no boundaries. Could I ever imagine life as any less than what it was? I was so blessed!
I also felt ravished in a very satisfying way. My pussy felt comfortably numb and well-scratched. I felt naughty and saucy all over. I wore shorts and a loose white shirt. I was approaching forty so I avoided overly-skimpy clothes. Dan swore that I sported a very womanly figure, but I knew my hips had widened due to age and no longer looked like a teenager's. Dan claimed that me looking like a real woman excited him more than me looking like a teenage boy with slim hips, but I'm sure he was lying. Men ogled the magazines on the news racks where women with twenty-inch hips displayed their emaciated forms. Us women know what men want; there wouldn't be a whole industry built around women who look like teenage boys, otherwise. I may not have been able to help the way my bones shifted with age, but I kept the fat off. I still wore a size four and I knew most twenty-year olds couldn't claim that.
When Dan would stop to grab hold of my butt or hug me close, I wasn't surprised. However, I was a little self-conscious. Could he see that I was acting like I had just been fucked the previous night? Would he try to make up for our skipped nights by getting frisky tonight? I wasn't sure I could go through with it; I would be sore the next day and uncomfortable all day long. Being Saturday, I expected we might go out tonight. Maybe I would be able to keep him busy and plead off until the next night?
My dilemma caused me such concern that I checked myself while I was in the bathroom. I was definitely numb and used. I even wiped a small amount of goo that seeped out from the previous night's dream. I found myself frozen there in the bathroom, hunched over looking at my trimmed bush, trying to determine if last night had really been a dream. The question not only nagged at me, but burned me with curiosity and frustration. How could it have been? If I told Dan, would he laugh? Would he treat me like some half-wit? Would he look at me differently? Would he not love me any more? But if he loved me, wouldn't he understand? What if he had an answer?
For some reason, I didn't want to pull up my shorts. A tendril of nastiness snaked through my thoughts and I tentatively ran my fingers down over my hood, pressing the skin hard onto my clit. A small and delicious shiver spread upward and tickled my spine.
With a gasp of frustration and incredulity I pulled up my shorts just as Dan knocked on the bathroom door. "Everything okay, dear?"
I flushed red and my knees turned to water. "I'm... fine."
He looked relieved when I opened the door.
Did he have any answers? I flushed even redder at the thought that I might have to tell him to find out. Why did it feel so difficult, this decision? Why did it feel as if I was risking everything to tell him about a dream?
I laughed at myself in a nervous giggle.
"Am I missing something?" Dan's look narrowed and was concerned at the same time.
He really did care. I touched his arm and made my decision. "I want to talk about last night."
We walked into the kitchen. He poured us iced teas while I sat at the tiny iron dinette and gathered my thoughts. No matter the time I had while he poured, the harder I tried to gather anything in my mind together, the farther they scattered. I found myself determined but even less sure. The feeling of being back at a precipice in our relationship returned.
I squeezed my hands into fists in frustration.
He placed the glass in front of me and sat.
I didn't know where to begin. I tried to imagine starting with what was forefront on my mind, but it felt as if I would sound lame and stupid. The more I grasped, the less I had. I felt tears begin to form at my indecision. Why did this have to be so hard? He was an attorney; if I didn't have everything perfectly laid out, wouldn't he disapprove?
"Why don't you start by telling me what made you cry last night?" His voice soothed my anxiety.
I looked up into his eyes. His concern and caring made me smile. He was using his courtroom voice on me, urging me to open up. He was on my side.
"I had a dream last night..." I toyed with my glass, not sure how to broach the content of the dream.
"Yes, you told me last night. An upsetting dream? Something very sad?"
"Well, not really sad. Not so much as upsetting. Confusing." I took a sip of the iced tea, not tasting it, but to cover my anxiety.
"Go on."
"I dreamt I was with another man..."
"Another man?" Suspicion narrowed his eyes.
