The tap at the bedroom door was enough to make her heart stop.
He'd teased her about doing it on numerous occasions abut she never thought he actually would.
"Hang on a minute," she said, propping herself up and taking a quick glance in the mirror to straighten her hair. She knew it was him as she'd just heard her husband go out the door to take her daughter to work. The house was empty, apart from the two of them.
The bedroom door slowly opened to reveal his cheeky grin.
"Good morning! I thought I'd bring my mother-in-law a cup of tea," he said in his dark brown voice. They both laughed! They'd been good friends long before Ed started seeing her daughter.
Hazel looked him deep in the eyes. The chemistry was electric.
"Ed, we've talked about this," she said.
Hazel knew exactly what was on the menu for breakfast that morning as they'd described it in detail in their online chats.
Ed walked round to her side of the bed, placing the mug of tea on her bedside cabinet. With a swift flick of the hand he pulled back the duvet cover and literally jumped in beside her.
Hazel began to giggle like a naughty schoolgirl. Here she was, a middle-aged mother past her prime, in bed with her 29-year-old son-in-law-to-be!
Ed wasted no time. Within seconds his hand was slowly caressing the smooth skin on the inside of her thighs as he kissed her, slowly at first, then more passionately and with an unspoken urgency. They had an hour to turn their fantasy into reality.
The game had been played out online time and again, slightly different each time. In reality they knew what turned one another on and it was easy to work those rituals into their late night chats.
They'd never intended it to develop into something real, but their curiosity had got the better of them, their chats had become more intense, and now there was a primeval urge for them to do something very wrong.
Not a word was uttered between them now They didn't need to speak -- identical agendas were folding out in their heads one step ahead of the actions.
Hazel had stopped giggling as soon as Ed's lips touched hers. She felt his lips against hers for the first time, kissing her slowly at first, then gradually exploring her mouth with his tongue, Ed began to kiss her harder.
As their tongues touched it was as intimate as any sexual act. This was a moment of intimacy they'd both fantasised about, pleasuring themselves as they described in great detail on Facebook Chat what they would do to one another.
At first their chats were fairly ordinary. Kissing would progress to touching which would lead on to touching one another slowly all over each other's bodies. He'd penetrate her, make love to her slowly but passionately and they'd orgasm together, in fantasy and in real life, albeit some miles apart.
Most of their chats were late at night. The first had been after a family party. They were both drunk and there was a connection between them they couldn't deny. Once at home, they'd sat up late chatting online and, quite unexpectedly, they'd led one another on to sexual chat.
"We can't do this again, " Ed warned afterwards. "It's addictive." Hazel laid awake that night, her heart racing and head spinning. She'd had cybersex with her daughter's boyfriend while her husband slept in the room next door. And it was the most erotic thing she'd done for a very long while!
The following night she couldn't resist going online once the house was quiet and still. They'd chatted about how it should never happen again.
