At age 21, Eric and I got married. Eric had the rest of our life planned out from there. We were aiming to have our first child around the time of our first anniversary, which would be the summer after graduation. So a month after the wedding, we had an extravagant three month honeymoon booked, to make sure that happened on schedule, if the wedding night hadn't accomplished the goal already.
We were at an island resort, with nothing to do but lie on the beach, when we even left the cabana that is. Everywhere around us there were other newlyweds like us, parents with their kids, and some empty nesters. A couple days after we got there, I found out that I hadn't gotten pregnant the night of the wedding, so we had some trying to do.
At first it was a lot of fun, trying to make a baby together. Eric got especially excited when I told him it was my most fertile time of the month, and I got especially worked up that night too. He left three loads in me that night and another in the morning. I couldn't imagine how it wouldn't happen. But our first month at the resort came and went with no results.
That second month, we were a little disappointed, a little bored of lying on the same beach, swimming in the same stretch of sea. The sex was still great, even if the excitement of trying to get pregnant was starting to wane. We tried all sorts of positions. The night I was ovulating was still special, and we stayed up late, staying conjoined as long as we could.
By the third month, Eric was really starting to really worry. I knew it wasn't unusual at all for it to take more than three months, even though the other women in my family had all gotten pregnant very easily. If we didn't conceive during the honeymoon, that would throw off all of Eric's carefully made plans for the years to come. So he decided to take desperate measures.
I don't know how he heard about this place, but one night he told me that in the interior of the island, there was a temple to some sort of local fertility god. Apparently Eric had talked to couples who had gone there and conceived, and he suggested that he and I might give it a try, just for the fun of it, not that he really believed in it or anything. I wanted him to be happy, and I was bored of the resort, so I agreed to it.
We rented a scooter from the resort and drove up to this temple. The place was splendid. I wasn't sure why I hadn't heard of it, or read about it in any of the guidebooks, or seen any pictures online. The architecture was unlike anything I'd seen before, on the island or anywhere else. It looked old, ancient actually, and yet it was in great condition, painted vibrantly and touched with gold leaf.
Temple attendants showed us into a room with sliding wooden doors and a flat bed on the floor in the center of the room. They told us to take off our clothes and await a visitation of the god. At that I was getting a little nervous. I wasn't sure what we had really gotten ourselves into.
When we were both naked, the door opened, and a naked man entered. He had flawless bronze skin, and he was almost completely hairless. He was a little on the short side, unintimidating in physique. His head was shaved nearly bald.
In a soft but wise voice, he explained that he would watch over us as we copulated and ensure that we conceived. "But first you must light the candle. As long as the candle burns, you are sure to conceive."
"The candle?" Eric asked, looking around. There wasn't much else in the room. The only light was sunlight outside, filtering in through wood paneling.
The stranger gestured to his flaccid member. "First you must light the candle."
Eric was starting to get irritated. "Hey, no one told me about this," he complained to the fertility god. "I swear, no one told me about this part," he explained to me as well.
I just wanted to diffuse the situation. But I also felt a charge in the air ever since the stranger entered the room. Something that made me want to do things I normally wouldn't do.
"It's okay, honey," I said. "I'll handle it. It's fine."
"You expect my wife to get you erect?" Eric asked him.
"It is not always the woman who lights the candle," our god said. Eric did a double take, but to his credit, he considered it.
"Fine," Eric said. "Whatever you have to do, Cheryl. But I don't want to watch. I'm going to wait outside." He stepped out of the little room and slid the door closed behind him.
I stepped towards the mysterious stranger claiming to be a god, and I got on my knees. I probably could have just given him a hand job, but at that naive age I thought men always expected oral. As soon as my hand brushed his foreskin, I could feel the heat of him, and that heat seemed infectious. I gasped as it started to swell in my hand, literally springing to life through the hesitant, nervous use of my lips and tongue. I couldn't believe what I was doing, it was like watching what someone else would do from afar. Every gasp of his resonated in me, forcing the air from my lungs. When his penis stood tall and firm, it felt like a triumph, but also like just the beginning of something more. I could feel a powerful presence in the room, making me feel weak and powerless by comparison. But it wasn't an unwelcome feeling. I felt my own need building in my chest, and a desire to surrender myself to whatever would happen to me.
With Eric out of sight and out of mind for the moment, I rose to my feet, and pressed myself against the short, bronzed man. We were roughly even in height, my breasts nearly lining up with his nipples. His erection pressing into my mound of pubic hair. So close to going so much further, as I pressed my lips to his. He returned the kiss, eagerly, before he pulled back.
"We must bring your husband in now," he said. For a moment I pondered disagreeing with that, disagreeing with this man who had such power over my arousal. But I realized he was right.
I opened the door and brought Eric back into the room. The god sat crosslegged off to the side, on a woven mat, gently stroking himself. Just looking at what he was doing made my breath catch. I was worried that my husband would balk at the idea of making love to me in the presence of another man, but Eric hardly gave our voyeur a passing glance, and didn't say anything about it. That was what we were here to do after all, to mate in the presence of a god. I guess whoever Eric had talked to had told him that much.
I laid down on the bed, and let my husband climb on top of me, his legs between mine, it didn't take long to "light his candle" as well, and when I felt him press into me, I was plenty ready for it.
We started to move together slowly, tenderly, his lips on mine, not knowing I had just kissed a stranger with them, uncaring that I had just taken a stranger's penis between them. Between feeling Eric moving inside me, and the erotic charge in the room, and the hope that maybe this would be the time we would conceive, it didn't take long for my intensity to build. I pulled Eric's hips to mine with every thrust.
With my husband's head by my ear, I glanced over to the other side. The deity in the room was clearly approaching the edge as well, but if he was straining towards orgasm or trying to delay it, I couldn't tell. All I could see was his half-lidded eyes, his slack-jawed distraction as precum poured down his shaft, his fist moving in time with my husband and I.
Eric pushed himself hard into me and his frame went rigid, a grunt escaping as he reached his peak, and then I felt the first of his seed pour into me. I didn't always orgasm when he ejaculated into me, but that day I sure did, when I felt the warmth jet deep into me. At the same time, the stranger groaned, and I made eye contact with his half closed eyes as the semen fountained in his lap, while my husband was still spurting into me.
When we got home from the honeymoon, it was a relief to miss my next period, and the one after that. We started making preparations for the baby to arrive right on schedule. But then, three months in, before I was really starting to show, I lost the baby. I had a miscarriage. Eric took it even harder than I did. I knew these things happen frequently, that it didn't really mean anything. But for him, it threw everything off. Because now we were back to square one.
We tried again, of course. We both got checked out by our doctors and got a clean bill of health. It seemed like all the right moving parts were there to start a family, it just wasn't happening on its own. Those next few months were stressful between us, which didn't help. After six months, Eric was really frustrated with the situation, and it was wearing on me too. We considered IVF, but it seemed like there was no good reason that IVF would be more successful than what we were already doing. Sex became a sort of chore.
For Christmas, Eric surprised me, with two more tickets to the island. But it'd be a much shorter trip this time. "And maybe while we're there, we could give that temple another shot. That was fun last time," he suggested casually, as if that wasn't his entire purpose in booking the trip. Regardless, I was glad to go back to the island. Especially if it would help us finally start a family, and let Eric start recalculating his plans for our years to come.
