So when we left off, I had just had the most interesting night of my life -- with my mother-in-law. I watched her gather her clothes and walk naked from her guest room, presumably to try to wash the previous night off of her body and out of her mind.
I sat back in bed, lightly stroked myself, and tried to devise a strategy moving forward. First and foremost, I couldn't afford to have my wife find out what happened. But more that that, I deduced Linda couldn't afford to have that happen either. I didn't rape Linda. She willing fucked my brains out. And though I was no child, she was the "adult" in the relationship. In other words, we both should have known better, but she
really
should have known better. The experience was potentially embarrassing for both of us. So I'd treat it as such.
We went about our business silently until it was time to leave for the lake house. We loaded our things into the car, we got in, and we left. About ten minutes later, after ten minutes of relative silence, broken only by the sound of the occasional turn signal and nearby traffic, Linda finally spoke.
"I feel awful." She grunted.
"About what?" I asked.
"Gee, I don't know." She deadpanned.
"Seriously, nothing happened. So let's just go about our day." I reached forward and turned on the radio. I didn't like the music that was playing, but it was better than awkward silence.
When we arrived at the lake house, we unloaded our stuff and went out to the back deck where the girls were sitting, enjoying drinks.
"Well look at you two!" One of the cousins shouted. My wife, Lisa, turned to greet us.
"Hey there." She smiled.
"Well hello," Linda greeted the girls. "It looks like you all are having fun."
I peered through the kitchen glass which then led to the main living area of the lake house. The entire house looked as though it had been well enjoyed by the visiting girls. From stem to stern it looked like a slumber party, with clothes, drinks, snacks, and beauty supplies strewn everywhere.
"We had a great time." Lisa responded.
"Mai TAI!" One of the cousins yelled.
"Mai Tai, Mai Tai, Mai Tai!" the rest of the girls chanted, some secret joke no doubt.
"Well a Mai Tai sounds good." I smiled.
"Really, well I think Mom could go for another martini..." Lisa chimed. I tensed as I awaited Linda's response, not sure if Lisa was just using prior knowledge of her mother to pick a suitable drink, or if she had some other information about the prior evening.
"Mai Tai or a martini, they both sound good to me." Linda smiled awkwardly without looking in my direction.
"Mom said you two had a heck of a night." Lisa exclaimed.
"Hmmm?" On the verge of breaking out into a cold sweat, my face lit up with tension. I raised an eyebrow and looked to Linda.
"Yeah, Mom told me how you two grabbed dinner and had a bunch of martinis. I didn't think you were the martini type." Lisa laughed.
"They were really good. Not as good as Linda's, you know, at the house. But they are good." I rolled with it.
"Well, I don't know how good my martinis were, but we sure enjoyed them." Linda smiled and nodded in my direction. "I could use some hair of the dog."
"The girls and I are headed to the store. Do you two need us to pick anything up for you?" Lisa asked. That's when I realized I was in the clear. Not only had she and Linda spoke, but Linda had already done the math and just told Lisa the minor details of what we did last night: Got dinner, drank some martinis, then went to bed.
