The Affair Continues, Part 3

Teri awoke with a start. She had been sleeping so peacefully. It was such a beautiful dream. Then she realized that it wasn’t a dream. She felt a twinge from her irritated mound and smiled to herself as she remembered being loved by her husband like she hadn’t been loved in a long time. Bill had been so passionate, so driven. He was almost like a sex-crazed teenager tonight and Teri had wanted it all. She needed it. She had craved his touch for so long. Hungered for his love and affection. Tonight it had been as though he had been making up for lost time.

Her thoughts were interrupted as Bill walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. He hunched over and brought a foot up to rest on his knee. Teri sat up and noticed that he was tying his shoe. He noticed her and told her to go back to sleep.

“Where are you going”, she asked.

Bill finished tying the other shoe, and then got up and moved over to Teri. He bent over and planted a kiss on her forehead. He hadn’t meant to wake her. “Go back to sleep,” he repeated softly.

Teri couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Here was her husband who an hour before had just made wild, passionate love to his wife. And now he was showered, dress, and putting on his shoes to go out. And it seemed his plans didn’t include taking her with him. She sat there and gave her husband the blank but slightly irritated look.

Here it comes, he thought. He sat back down on the bed next to her and wrapped an arm around her. Dean had called and another good buddy of theirs from the West coast had come into town on business, and had been able to make it to his son’s birthday. They were going to go out for some drinks. Yes, he knew it was their anniversary. But Bill had reasoned to himself that he had spent the afternoon and evening with Teri, sat through what he thought was a rather boring over priced songfest, and had made love to her until they were both sore. What more could she want?!

Teri just sat there in disbelief. How could he abandon her on their anniversary? What happened to the Bill she saw, felt, touched, tasted and experienced an hour ago? Teri’s heart began to break. He had brought her up to the pinnacle and now he was dropping her over the edge.

She suggested that he wait for her to have a quick shower and she’d go with him.

“Babe,” (She hated it when he used that tone.) “It’sa guy thing. You wouldn’t like it. Besides they’re all waiting for me.”

He suggested that she went over to Sharon and Dean’s and saw the boys. That was a big comfort. She knew the boys were all in bed by now, and Sharon wouldn’t be far from it.

“I gotta go. Are you gonna let me go or not?!”

Now it was the “ego thing” with him. If she didn’t let him go, he’d look like he let his wife rule him and she’d never hear the end of it. But if she did let him go, then she’d be left alone. Besides, she really didn’t want to be the one to tell him to stay. She wanted him to stay and make the choice on his own to be with her. If she made him stay home with her, he would probably end up in the den on the computer and she wouldn’t get to spend any time with him anyway.
So, she did what any loving wife would do. She let him go. She asked him not to be out too late, hoping he’d make an appearance there and then rush home to her.

“He’s only in town for tonight. I can’t promise anything,” he said as he went out the door.

The door closed behind him, and there she was, alone again, as she always was. Now she was truly alone as not even her boys were home.

She flopped back into the bed once more and pulled the blanket over her head feeling sorry for herself. Then she folded the covers back and sat up determined. She knew she couldn’t stay in bed all night. It was still too early for her to go to bed. Also, she had remembered that she hadn’t eaten yet. She forced herself to get up and toddled into the bathroom to wash the now dried juices off from their vigorous lovemaking session.

The warm shower felt good but at the same time it burned as it ran down her sensitive privates. As she lathered herself up she smiled and thought back to this evening’s events. Bill had made her feel alive again. She had felt like a part of her marriage that had been deadened was suddenly awakened and alive again. He had been so good to her today. She still couldn’t believe he had actually taken her to the opera. Usually that would have been something he had suggested that she do with Sharon or one of her other girl friends. She had remembered how he had serviced and pleasured her. She ran her lathered hands over her breasts and fantasized it was his touch. She lingered there for a moment lost in a memory. Then moved on to the rest of her body. She winced when she touched her womanhood. She was sore but had been very satisfied there. She couldn’t believe he had orally pleasured her there twice that day. Usually he had preferred not to unless she really begged him to.

Hunger was beginning to over take her. She quickly finished her shower without reminiscing about her day and got dressed. She was just finishing her hair when she heard a faint knock on the door. She wondered who it could be at this hour. All of her friends and family had known it was their anniversary, so she wasn’t expecting any one to come around today. And at this time, most people were home settling down for bed.

She went down the stairs and to the front door. She pulled the lace curtain aside on the sidelight and froze. As if in a trance, she opened the door and just stood there. Standing there in front of her was Clark. She blinked her eyes at him, half expecting it to be a dream and him not there a millisecond later when her eyes reopened. But it wasn’t a dream there he was standing right in front of her looking at her with those sapphire blue eyes.

“Have you eaten?” were his first words to her.

“”No,” she said, “I was just about to get something.”

“Let’s go out.” She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. No “Hi, how are you?” No explanation for his sudden appearance on her doorstep at 9 o’clock on the night of her anniversary. No apology for not emailing her in a while. What was happening to her?

She stood there staring as if to say she wasn’t moving until she heard something more. The truth was, until he showed up on her doorstep, she hadn’t thought about him all day. She had been lost in the moment rekindling the flame with her husband.

He had come down for Dean’s son’s birthday and had been out with Dean when Bill showed up. He knew it was their anniversary and couldn’t believe Bill had left her alone.

With that explanation being offered, she stepped inside for a moment to grab her purse. She was after all starving and slightly upset with Bill for leaving her and not treating her to dinner on their anniversary. She left Bill a quick note that said she went out for a bite to eat, hoping to make him feel guilty if he should come home early and walked back out the door.

“We should probably take both cars,” Clark said. “Bill just thinks I went back to my hotel room to turn in for the night. It wouldn’t do for you to go out for a bite to eat without your car.”

Teri followed Clark back to his hotel where the restaurant was still open. She knew that it was dangerous going with him to his hotel, but this was only the restaurant and she was hungry. She really didn’t care about anything else but food at the moment.

The restaurant wasn’t too busy, but it was after 9 and to be expected. A couple sat in the booth in the corner laughing over their coffee and servings of pie. An older man sat quietly at a smaller table eating pot roast by himself. A waitress was running a carpet sweeper over some crumbs, and a busboy was clearing off dirty dishes left there by a relatively large party. Teri and Clark followed the hostess to a quiet table in the back away from the rest of the diners. Clark must have requested it.

Clark sat there in silence and stared at Teri who was busy looking at a menu. Teri sensed his eyes on her but continued to look through the menu. She didn’t know what to say to him. She was glad to see him, but at the same time she wished he hadn’t come to her tonight. She felt like she was betraying her husband by even speaking to him, and yet she also felt like she had betrayed him with her husband this evening.

“I’ve had a busy week.” Clark said breaking the silence.

“What?” she mumbled not looking up from the menu.

“I’ve had a busy week.” Clark repeated. “That’s why I haven’t contacted you. That’s why I haven’t written.”

Teri put down the menu and looked at him. His face was somber, apologetic. She still didn’t know what to say to him.

“You don’t owe me an explanation.” Yes he does, she thought, but she didn’t know what else to say.

“I’m trying to say I’m sorry. I’m trying to let you know that I didn’t just use you and then throw you aside.”

Teri sat there and stared at him. She couldn’t think. Not without food anyway.

He noticed the pearls around her neck. The pearls Bill had placed around her neck earlier in the day.

Teri noticed it too. Her hand went up to touch them. “He gave them to me for our anniversary.”
Oh, yes, the anniversary where he abandoned her, Clark thought to himself.

“I love him,” she quickly stated.

“I know you do.” He replied. “If you didn’t you would still be married to him. And you wouldn’t have celebrated your anniversary with him.”

What was he saying? What was he doing here? What was she doing here, with him?

The waitress came and took their orders. She ordered the Oriental Grilled Chicken salad, an order of French fries, and a large iced tea. He ordered a light ham and cheese sandwich and a Diet Coke.

They sat there in silence again.

“Clark, I don’t know what to say to you.” Teri finally broke out. “What happened between us was beautiful, but it shouldn’t happen, it can’t happen again.” “You stirred something inside that had almost been forgotten. You awoke my sensuality. You made me feel like a woman again bursting with passion. Before then, all I had felt like, all I had lived my daily life for was my boys and my class at school. You gave me something. You brought me out of my loneliness and despair. For that, I am grateful. But this can’t go on. You and I can’t have that kind of relationship again.”

Clark was taken aback. He couldn’t believe Teri was saying this to him. The beautiful creature that had bore her soul to him a week ago was telling him it couldn’t be.

“Teri, don’t you see? That’s exactly why we should be together. Tonight is your anniversary and where is your husband? He’s out with the guys. He didn’t even wine and dine you first.”

Teri became upset. She wanted to race out of there, but she was starving and hadn’t eaten yet.

“What happens between Bill and I is between a husband and his wife. You shouldn’t be coming between us.” Teri heard what she was saying and she believed it somewhat. Then a part of her wanted to rush over to him and take him in her arms. If he didn’t stop staring at her with those blue eyes like that she was going to melt, in spite of what had happened between her husband and her earlier.

Neither one had a chance to finish the discussion as the waitress had returned with their food.

Both of them sat in silence while they ate. The rest of their time in the restaurant was spent in silence.

Clark paid the bill and took offered Teri his hand. “Walk with me.” He said warmly.

Teri hesitate until Clark looked at her and told her with his eyes that it would be all right.

They went out the back door and walked outside by the pool. A fountain was trickling in a nearby courtyard. They walked around by the fountain, which was dimly lit and sat on a bench. The courtyard was secluded with large hedges and a few rose bushes in the flowerbeds.

Clark looked at Teri. Her brown eyes twinkled in the moonlight. “Would it be so bad if we were to continue seeing each other?”

Teri looked back at Clark trying not to give way to the spell his eyes would cast on her. “Clark, I’m married. That means something to me. And I still love my husband deeply. I’m in love with him. He’s my soul mate.”

Clark didn’t want to hear any of this. Teri had made him feel something no woman has made him feel in a long time, if ever. “If he’s your soul mate, then why does he treat you so? Why doesn’t he sense your pain, your loneliness? And why does he leave you all alone like he did tonight?”

Clark wrapped his arms around Teri. “He should be with you. He should be holding you.” His voice trailed off. “And kissing you.”

Clark made a move to kiss Teri, but Teri resisted. “Clark, don’t. Don’t try to seduce me.” She was confused, and weak, and hurt by her husband tonight.

“What did he do for you today, for your anniversary?” Clark asked smugly. “He gave you the pearls and then what?!”

“Clark, please!” Teri begged. “Don’t do this.”

Clark had had Teri and was hungry for her again. He was determined that he was going to have her again. He was angry with Bill for leaving her on their anniversary. He wanted to punch him out at the pub and tell him what a sensuous wife he had, but he didn’t. He couldn’t. He knew that if he had, he would have lost Teri for sure.

Clark turned and moved his hands up to Teri’s shoulders and began to massage them. He knew he was good with his hands. He knew his massages were like magic. He knew that if Teri were really serious about Bill she would have left him before now.

Teri’s’ shoulders were sore after her lovemaking session with Bill earlier, and tense from the situation she was now faced with. Clark’s hands were warm and soothing. She felt a lot of the tension flow right out of her. She sat quietly staring at the fountain.

Clark stopped his massage and reached for Teri’s chin. He pulled her chin and directed her face to his. He looked at her big brown eyes for a second and then kissed her wantonly.

Teri’s senses became alive in that instant. His touch was familiar to her. Heat rose into her cheeks. Teri broke off the kiss, hung her head and cried.

She cried because she loved her husband. She cried because she wanted Clark. She cried because Bill had left her and treated her so coldly. She cried because she was lost.

Clark knew just what to do. He took her in his arms and embraced her. He stroked her long curls and kissed her forehead.

“He took me to the opera. It was beautiful, pulsating, and energetic. It was heartrending.” Teri sobbed into his chest. “Afterwards we went home and we made love. It was just like the opera, alive and full of passion. It was like it used to be between us. I felt like things were finally changing and our marriage was coming back. He made me scream out in desire and pleasure.”

That was a little more than Clark had wanted to hear, but he knew she was rambling on and had to get it all out. For her sake, he let her go on about the details of their sexual tryst.

“It was beautiful. We held each other and fell asleep in each other’s arms.” Teri sobbed. “And then he left me for his best buddy Dean and their buddy from out West.” “Every time I turn around he’s out with Dean. Dean’s always coming between us. Why doesn’t he just marry Dean?!”

“Teri, will you listen to yourself?” “You’re sounding silly now.” “You don’t really mean to sound so harsh with Dean. You’re angry and hurt with Bill. And you have every right to be that way.” “Just remember that Dean is my good friend too.”

“Why don’t we go up to my room for a night cap?”

<%PART%>

Teri looked at Clark. She knew what would happen if she went up there. She knew she should be getting home. What if Bill came home early? She also knew in her heart that if Bill was out with the guys, he wouldn’t be home before 2.

Teri opened her mouth to protest, but Clark quickly silenced her with a kiss. Teri melted in his arms. Clark’s tongue had entered her mouth and was probing her. The sensations were sending shockwaves throughout her body and numbing her mind. Teri couldn’t think. Her mind was racing, her heart was pulsating, and her body was shaking.

Clark wrapped his muscular arm around her and walked her into the elevator and then to his room.

Once inside, he offered her some rum from the mini-bar courtesy of the hotel. Teri sat on the small couch and numbingly accepted it. The sweet liquid burned as it went down. Teri was not accustomed to liquor. She rarely drank and when the occasion called for some alcohol it was usually wine, Champagne, or frozen daiquiris. After a few sips of the rum, it had sort of a calming effect on her. She sat there staring down into her glass in between sips trying to think about what she was going to do.

“Teri, I care for you.” Clark said breaking the silence. “It bothers me to see you so hurt. I can’t stand to see you treated so coldly by your husband, the man who supposedly professed his undying love to you.”

“You’re not helping make it any easier on me, either.” Teri quietly said without looking up from her glass.

Clark moved over and took Teri’s hands removing the now empty glass from them. “Teri,” he said and waited until her had her attention. “If you can look at me, straight in the eyes and tell me that you never want to see me again, I will go and never try to contact you.”

Teri knew in her heart what she needed to do. What she should do for her marriage sake. She tried to muster up the courage before looking up at him. With her hands still in his, she stood up. Then she looked up at him, into his eyes, those sapphire blue eyes that were like those mini-reflection pools in the atriums of Greek architecture and she was taken aback. She saw all of the fire, all of the passion, all of the excitement that she had experienced last week. She saw her knight in shining armor who had rescued her from her tower of isolation and loneliness. Tears formed in her eyes, as she stood there trembling, weak and drowning in the moment. She tried to tell him to go, but instead she found herself pleading with him, begging him. “Please stay,” she said hoarsely.

Clark brought his lips down to meet her and kissed her longingly. His tongue seared into her mouth like a hot needle invades the flesh. She was broken and weak. She could resist him any longer. He scooped her up into his arms never breaking the kiss and brought her into the bedroom. Gently he placed her on the bed lying down on beside her. He cradled her in his arms as he tenderly kissed her.

They broke the kiss and Clark stared into her face. For the first time, he saw the beautiful, vibrant woman that she was and not just some conquest. He saw the fire burning in her eyes. He saw the succulent outline of her ripe, full lips that he had just kissed. He smelled the sweet scent of her hair and saw the reddish tendrils that softly framed her face. He saw her looking back at him lovingly and smiling. He began to realize that he truly cared for this woman. Those just weren’t words he had spoken to get her to go to bed with him. He wanted to be near her. He wanted to hear her breathing and feel her heart beating. He wanted to hold her and protect her for his own.

<%PART%>

“What is it?” Teri whispered.

“It’s nothing.” Clark replied softly. “You’re beautiful.”

Teri smiled sheepishly, then pulled him to her and kissed him again.

They broke their embrace again and Clark sat up to remove his shirt.

Teri sat up to remove hers and Clark stopped her. “Are you sure you want to do this? You can still leave, go home, and not go through with this if you want to.”

Teri looked at him and saw the softness in his face. He no longer had that determined look. She smiled and said she wanted to do this.

Clark met her hands and helped her pull her shirt over her head. Then he sat there and looked at her body. He reached up and touched her shoulder lightly. His fingers seemed to be electrically charged sending current throughout her body. He ran his fingers down her shoulder then straight across her chest. Her touched her chin as if he were holding her face in place studying it. Her skin was soft and smooth. He could feel it responding to his touch. He stroked her cheek and reached for another kiss.

The lovers broke the kiss and Teri removed her bra. Clark remembered these breasts. He remembered how sweet they had tasted. He ran a light touch over them. His touch was not erotic, not one of greed or desire, but childish as if he were looking at a woman’s breasts for the first time.

Clark stood up, slipped his shoes off, and took Teri’s hand pulling her to standing. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. Then he just stood there holding her close. He almost seemed to be swaying her in a bit of a dance.

Teri thought his demure had changed. He was different than the last time. She wanted to ask him if he was all right, but didn’t want to break the silence and the mood.

She could feel his manhood growing with anticipation as they stood there locked in each other’s arms.

Almost at the same time, they reached down to unfasten the other’s jeans. The whole time they did that they kept their eyes locked.

Teri did a side step to step out of her shoes, before stepping out of her jeans. Clark slid his jeans to the floor and stepped out of them. Then he reached over and turned out the light.

They came back together and took each other’s hands and held each other. Then Clark led Teri back to the bed and sat her down. He sat down on the bed next to her. Their lips met and they kissed each other tenderly. Still tasting her luscious lips, Clark took her by the shoulder and lean her back into the pillow, following her with his body.

He broke the kiss and stared at her again. His fingers traced her collarbone. Then he took the back of his fingers and lightly brushed them down to her breasts. He took one nipple and rolled it between his fingers heating it up. Then he took it in his mouth and suckled it.

Teri’s body responded to his light touch. It was different from the way he had touched her the last time they made love, and it was most definitely different from the lust hungry way her husband had touched her earlier, but it began to stir something inside of her none the less.

Clark reached for the other nipple and warmed it with his touch. He took it into his mouth and suckled it just as he had done with the other. He was making love to her breasts in the most tender way possible.

Teri reached down and stroked his hair. This was a new side of Clark that she had not seen yet, but she was sure that she liked it.

Clark continued suckling both of her breasts, and then moved down to her thighs. He stroked them lightly and kissed them. He noticed the curvy shape of her legs and the creamy, milky color of her flesh. He could smell the scent of her juices already beginning to flow. He moved to her mound and kissed it through her panties. He slid her panties down, and removed them, then sat up on his knees and slid his down to his knees. He reached for her hand and placed it on his growing member. Then he returned to the task at hand, pleasing this succulent piece of fruit. He spread open her thighs to allow him access to her womanhood and then went to work stroking her lips.

Teri winced a little when he touched her there, and slightly squeezed his member. He had to be careful, he told himself. She was probably sore for her lovemaking session earlier. He went back to tracing her folds, lighter this time. He found them already moist with arousal. Then he carefully and cautiously, slowly dipped a finger. Teri was hot and wet inside. She was also probably still lubricated from earlier, he told himself.

<%PART%>

Teri was tenderly stroking his member and running and enclosed hand the full length of his shaft. At 9 inches, he was slightly larger and a little bigger around than her husband. His member had remembered her touch and was responding very nicely to it. Blood had already rushed into the head and had inflated it to its full length and size.

Clark found the fleshy part between her folds and had moved his mouth down around it. Teri winced and jumped when he bit it. He ran his tongue over it trying to sooth it and sucked on it. Teri responded immediately and began to writhe in the bed.

He turned around and laid down on the bed next to Teri. He guided her up on her knees with her breasts hanging down over his face. He put his hand between her knees and found her clit. Then he took a nipple in his mouth and began to suckle it as he rubbed her clit. Teri thought she was going to explode. Clark changed breasts and suckled the other one, as he penetrated deep into her vagina hole and found her G spot.

Shockwaves from being stimulated at both ends sent Teri into overload. Teri began to cry out in an earth shattering orgasm.

When she showed signs of coming down, but before she fully came down and regained her composure, Clark directed Teri to climb in top of him and face him. Teri mounted his member and screamed out in another rip-roaring orgasm. Clark took a nipple into his mouth and began to suckle it as she bounced on his member.

Wave after wave of orgasmic bliss washed over Teri. She was having multiple orgasms now. She would crest with one, screaming, and before coming down off of that one would have another. She was in a sexual frenzy now. She couldn’t help herself. Each wave overtook her before she finished riding the first one.

Watching Teri in her sexual bliss was really turning Clark on. He had never done anything like that before. Never had it been totally about his partner’s satisfaction. Pleasing her was doing something for him, he realized as he began to feel the stirring build up inside of him. This was a feeling he had never experienced. He found it both scary and electrifying at the same time.

He had released her breasts and taken hold of her hands now and was helping her bounce on top of him. He offered resistance in his arms and helped to leverage her while she moved up and down with full force.

Teri was still really sore from earlier and the friction that was building between then only heated things up and intensified the pain, but she couldn’t stop herself. Her senses had been overload in orgasmic energy.

She felt Clark tense up inside of her and she knew it was only a matter of seconds. His pace slowed down a little bit, but his thrusts into her intensified as he tried to savor the moment. He wanted every second of this feeling to last forever.

In one final bounce, Clark raised his hips forcing himself deep inside Teri and slamming into her womb. His member exploded upon impact with her womb and shot his seeds deep within her. Teri felt him spray deep within her and lost it. The lovers cried out simultaneously in orgasmic bliss. Teri’s body now shaking as it was trying to cope with the multiple shockwaves her system had endured over the last few minutes.
And then it was all over. Teri collapsed tired and sore, but very satisfied on Clark’s chest. Clark held her in his arms not wanting to ever let go. She had just given him the best release he had ever had. He wanted to be locked up forever with her. He kissed Teri lovingly on top of her head and held her tight.

<%PART%>

They held each other for what seemed like hours, but was really only minutes. reality came rushing back to Teri. She was in another man’s hotel room on the night of her anniversary. It was like a sharp slap in the face. She glanced over at the clock, 11 o’clock. Bill might not miss her yet. He might not be home yet.

Teri began to choke as if she was suffocating. She panicked and struggled to get out of his embrace. Feeling the panic in Teri only made Clark want to hold her more. He wanted to calm her down. He wanted to protect her.

“Let me go!” She cried. “I have to go.”

“Teri, what is it?” “Don’t go yet.” “Let’s talk about this.” Clark countered.

“No! I have to go!” Teri said as she continued to struggle.

“Teri, what happened here tonight between us was beautiful. No one has ever made me feel like this before.”

This made Teri panic all the more. She couldn’t breath. She had to get out of there. She broke the embrace and pushed herself up. She jumped up and scooped up her clothes, then ran into the bathroom. Her heart was pounding. She was frantic.

When she came out, she found that Clark had gotten up and put on his pants. “Teri, sit down a minute. I really think we need to talk about this.”

Teri didn’t have time. She found her purse and took off out the door. Clark started to pursue her, but he decided it was best not to make a scene at this hour in the hallway of the hotel. Instead he told himself that he would give her time to calm down and call her tomorrow. The one thing he knew was that he didn’t want to lose her or push her away. He couldn’t bear that.

Teri rushed home as quickly as she could and was thankful that she hadn’t been stop by any cops. She wasn’t sure how she’d be able to explain her present disheveled state, especially not to someone who knew her husband. Teri was relieved that she didn’t see Bill’s car as she pulled into their driveway.

She rushed inside slamming the door behind her. She checked the machine and saw a flashing light. Bill called to say goodnight and for her not to wait up that he’d be late.

Teri ran upstairs and flung her clothes off as she made her way into the bathroom. The warm water stung as it hit her body. She stood there shaking in the steam of the shower.

What had she done? Why did she go with him to his hotel tonight? Why did he have to show up on her doorstep tonight of all nights? How as she going to face Bill in the morning and what if he smelled Clark on her?

She sat down on the shower floor and grasped her knees. She sat there in the mists just rocking herself back and forth sobbing uncontrollably. She really loved her husband and now she had betrayed his trust for a second time in a month’s time. He had made mad passion love to her this evening and she slept with another man. It was their anniversary and she slept with another man. How was she going to look herself in the mirror? How was she going to be able to look her husband in the face? How was she going to be able to look at her boys?

To be continued…
