Maria bit her lip and tried her best not to look bored. She stared at a spot on the ceiling as Mike, her husband, labored on top of her.
"Oh yeah baby, gonna come, gonna fill you up."
Maria uttered silent thanks and winced at her husband's outburst. Did he honestly think it was sexy to come out with stuff like that? He probably didn't care, she thought, Mike had never been proficient in the bedroom. She glanced up at his chubby features, eyes closed in mock concentration. Oh well, she thought, better get into character.
"Oh Mike, oh yeah, I'm so close baby, come on!"
"Yeah! Here it comes baby, gonna pump you full!" Mike came with a grunt and Maria held him close to her. Not out of any tenderness, she just didn't want him to see the glazed expression on her face.
"That was awesome Darling."
He kissed her and got up to go to the bathroom.
If he could have seen the look on his wife's face, he would have seen that she didn't quite share the same sentiment.
They had been married for several years now, but it had been a union that had taken most people connected with the couple surprised. Maria was a statuesque brunette, with a sultry, almost exotic face and a wonderfully slender and lithe body. Even at 40, she still attracted lascivious leers and envious stares in equal measure. Mike on the other hand, was a short, portly man with thick glasses and a rapidly expanding bald spot. They were as unlikely a couple as you could ever hope to encounter.
For Maria, it had been a marriage of convenience. She had had to cut short her life at college after getting pregnant with Luke, and had struggled to juggle raising him with securing employment.
She had known Mike since high school, where she had been a cheerleader and enjoyed the perks and popularity that came with it, whilst he was chubby shy boy whom few people noticed. In fact, when they met up years later, Maria struggled to remember who he was after he had told her they went to the same school. Of course by that time their fortunes had dramatically changed. Maria was eking out an existence for herself and Luke, whilst Mike was a high-flying banker.
Maria knew a good thing when she saw it, not necessarily for herself, but for Luke. She soon realized that Mike adored her, in fact had done since high school, and although not physically attracted to him, saw that he was a sensitive caring man who could provide for them.
Maria got up off the bed, got changed and went to check on her son. Luke was downstairs reading a textbook. Normally most mothers would be happy that their children were so studious, but Maria felt with Luke this was almost to a fault. She knew he was fairly shy and reserved and didn't seem to engage in any extra curricular activities outside of school. She wasn't sure if he even had any friends, no-one came to stay and he never went out with anyone.
"Luke, it's a beautiful day out, wouldn't you rather be playing football or something?'
"No thanks Mom," came the reply, his attention hadn't diverted even slightly from the book. Maria stared at him in exasperation. He took after his stepfather in personality but he definitely looked like his biological father. He was tall, with a shock of blonde hair and had a strong jaw-line with almost feminine features, a handsome boy she was proud to say. Mike had been a great step-parent but Maria wondered if sometimes Luke hadn't inherited too many characteristics from him. He had recently graduated and was now waiting to go to college. Maria had tried to persuade him to get a job but he seemed content to lie about the house reading.
She felt a twinge of guilt sometimes because she herself had grown up as an only child and knew it could get lonely. She had promised herself a large family but had so far been unable to carry it out. At this rate it'll never happen she reflected.
Maria grabbed the paper from the table and went upstairs to the study to read.
Suddenly she felt the need to relieve herself. She checked that the door to her study was locked and then turned her computer on, slowly unbuttoning her trousers.
She didn't let Mike know she regularly masturbated. Before she had met him, she had been pretty adventurous sexually, especially at college. She had enjoyed a pretty vivid sex life whilst at college, pushing the boundaries as much as she could. The first had been allowing her boyfriend to take her anally. Then she had moved on to other women and also groups.
There had also been a memorable night with a transsexual, but that's another story. Her sex life with Mike however had been a significant anti-climax and was very timid in comparison. Maria half-suspected that he had been a virgin when they met but never dared ask him.
She selected some porn from the archive she kept hidden on her computer and slowly began to finger her slit as she watched a young couple go at it. She had often been tempted to stray and was still not short of offers but couldn't bear to betray Mike. It may have been a marriage of convenience for her but she had grown to love him, in a platonic way more than anything else though. She recalled recently at Luke's graduation she had been brusquely propositioned by one of his classmates.
He was fairly handsome in a rugged, rough and ready way and Maria could tell from the bulge in his pants that she had got him excited. It was fun to tease him for a while but she knew nothing could come from it. It nevertheless turned her on immensely knowing that a young stud like him lusted after her and she tried to picture him giving her a good hard fucking. She now had two fingers pistoning in and out of her cunt, whilst her other hand tweaked her erect nipples. Very soon she came with a gentle moan.
This had been the third time that day. Maria had always been highly sexed but once a day was usually enough to quell her frustration. What is it they say? A woman reaches her sexual peak at 40? It seemed that way to her anyway as she started another assault on her clit. She came quite intensely before sitting back in her chair, exhaling loudly. She resented the fact that she had been reduced to this, especially when she knew she could be out there enjoying herself. It was only her loyalty to Mike that prevented her from doing so and Luke as well she supposed.
To all intents and purposes, Luke regarded Mike as his father and Maria knew it would devastate both of them if they found out she was doing anything. She was slightly ashamed to admit that monogamy had never been one of the hallmarks of her relationships.
She had always been turned on by the illicit thrill of cheating. She realized that during her nostalgic thoughts she had started absent-mindedly playing with her clit again. She chided herself. What is wrong with me? She sighed because she knew the answer. I need a good hard fucking.
Out of the blue she found out from Mike that Luke had a girlfriend, which came as a bit of a shock to her, especially as they had apparently been seeing each other for a few months now. Maria wondered what else Luke was keeping from her and why he had found it so easy to confide in Mike but not her. As it was, she had to extract the information from Mike, who was a little reluctant to do so.
"I don't think you'd approve of her" was all he would say, though at the same time he had a twinkle in his eye which Maria took to mean that he more than approved of Luke's new playmate.
"What's that supposed to mean? Wait, it's not another guy is it?"
Mike took a look at her horrified expression and gave a derisory hoot.
"No, no, no, although, I'd like to think even if it was, we wouldn't be bothered."
"You know I'm not intolerant Mike, but every mother would eventually like grandchildren you know."
"Calm down, it's definitely a girl. Well, not girl exactly, I believe 'lady' would be a more appropriate expression."
Maria jumped to the right conclusion very quickly.
"She's older than him?"
Mike nodded his assent.
"Obviously I didn't ask her age but I believe she's, well, 'mature' is probably the best word."
"Wait a sec, you've actually met her?"
Mike grinned sheepishly as his wife glared at him.
"Yes, she seems nice. I would have told you but I wasn't sure how you'd take it."
"How old is she Mike?' Maria demanded.
"Ok, ok. Erm, at a guess...probably ...early forties."
Maria gritted her teeth.
"And...how long have they been seeing each other?"
"About a few months now."
