Chapter 2
The blaring of Chris' alarm at 6am was more unwelcome than ever. The last time Marie remembered checking the time on her mobile phone it was gone 3am and she still felt like she was so far away from sleep. She must have dozed off at some point but had had no more than a couple of hours' decent sleep. Her eyes slowly opened, struggled with the effort and closed again but her mind was awake. She laid there; pretending to be asleep whilst she felt the familiar shifting and heard the tired grunts of her husband as he groggily forced himself out of bed. The whir of the extractor fan in the en-suite all but lulled her back into a brief slumber.
It didn't last long, however, before more images of last night surged back towards her in a flash. Her head was already pounding and the visions felt like it was making it worse.
It was all still quite sketchy but it returned to her drab-by-drab. Marie turned over and tried sitting up but the dizziness hit her, prompting her to lie back down. She reached for her water bottle, took a deep swig and swallowed two paracetamol for good measure.
She felt the usual things after a heavy night's drinking; tired, head aching, dehydrated. Anxious. Guilty.
Those last two weren't regular feelings she had when she had enjoyed a normal in with a couple of bottles with her husband, or even with friends. No, they were new feelings to be having at times like this, but it was the surge of recollections from last night that was causing these.
Gradually, most of the pieces started falling back into place again as she laid there, eyes still loosely closed to give the impression she was still asleep. But as she watched the scenes unfold again behind her eyes, her heart beat faster, her breath shallowed. She felt a tingling again in the pit of her stomach...and below.
Marie remembered the meal, the wine, the card game...the dancing, the grinding. Suddenly she was removing her clothes and was sat astride a man's lap, her pussy aching and leaking as she grinded against the ever-growing bulge in his trousers.
Then the trousers were off. Then his boxers. Then her underwear. Then...
The thoughts came to an abrupt halt at the sound of the bathroom door being opened. She held every muscle in her body to keep up the act of sleep as Chris moved around the bedroom in his usual routine, his feet always stomping a little heavier when it was his weekend to work. She held her body still until she heard his footsteps disappear downstairs.
Then the images surged back once more as if being played in fast-forward, to the point at which they had been suspended.
She was sat astride his lap, no clothes left on their bodies to shield their skin from their animalistic movements. Her wet pussy leaving trails of her lust up and down the full length of his cock, his rapid tongue snaking over her breasts as their hips lunged together each other in unison.
Then the image that was hardest of them all to shake; on her back under his weight, her shoulders pinned down by those powerful hands, the sleekly-toned, athletic body holding her down as those hips pumped towards her, the feel of that hot bare skin invading her, her pussy filled with that wonderful cock, and then...
Oh god, then the last image...
The feel and sound of those powerful spurts as she was showered with his thick, hot cum. It was only at that moment she let that face become clearer to her, for she had tried and tried to block it from her mind. Looking up she saw the strained face of her step-son as he emptied his balls all over her.
There, that was it. She had forced herself to face up to the cold, hard truth. Last night, she had allowed herself to be used by Nathan, her husband's own son.
Marie felt the dampness grow between her legs, forcing a hand down inside her pyjama bottoms. Just at that moment, Chris returned to the bedroom and, noticing movement beneath the covers, realised his wife is awake.
'Morning sleepyhead,' he said as he sat on the edge of the bed, bending down and kissing her.
'What's the time?' she asked wearily.
'Nearly half-six. I'm just off,' he replied. 'Man, it looks and sounded like you guys carried on the party late last night after I came up!'
Marie's eyes burst open suddenly and her blood ran cold. 'What do you mean?' she asked, trying to sound calm despite the panic that was rising.
'Looks like you went through at least one other bottle,' Chris replied, 'and I woke up at some point and could just hear the music you had on downstairs. Surprised it didn't wake the twins, to be honest,' he chuckled.
Marie just laid there for a moment, afraid to speak. If he had heard the music, had he heard anything else? If he did, he didn't let on. 'Oh that,' she replied at last, 'Nathan suggested we play a couple of rounds of Monopoly Deal and there was bugger-all on the TV so we put some music on instead,' she continued, not entirely lying.
'Ah I see,' he replied as he stood up, 'as long as that's all it was,' he laughed again, entering the bathroom. Marie heard him flush the toilet after a couple of minutes, followed by the familiar sound of his electric toothbrush. She just sat there, panicked. Chris emerged from the bathroom, saying 'I haven't heard either of those three yet so hopefully I haven't woken them too early. I better be off.'
Chris kissed his wife again, squeezed her hand and left. Marie laid in bed for a few moments longer before Oliver emerged from his bedroom and joined her for his routine cuddle before going and waking his up his sister. It was Saturday, which meant they had swimming lessons at 8:30am. The usual Saturday morning rush was about to begin.
Marie listened to the twins' excited chatter as they raced each other down the upper flight of stairs, followed by more excited shouts as she guessed they had burst into the spare room to greet their older brother. Marie heard Nathan's feigned exasperations as he chased them out of the bedroom into the lounge.
Deciding she had to get up and face the day, Marie left the bedroom but paused at the top of the stairs. She was glad her husband was already out the house. Not because she had any designs of repeating anything from last night, but because it meant she didn't have to face the awkwardness. Not yet, at least.
But she did have to face her step-son, not knowing how they would act like nothing happened.
