The irony of great sex is that it only inflames our need to have it again. So it was for me after my incredible first time with Faith. My desire for her grew daily until I was obsessed and only able to focus on her. To make matters even worse, despite snatching some illicit time on the phone, my chances of having her again appeared to diminish with each passing day.
Okay, she was married and almost twice my age — but my mind was awash in the hormones of youth, cursing me with a willful foolishness and an almost fatalistic lack of patience. Regardless of the realities of her life, not seeing her again was a choice I simply couldn't accept…
~~~
It was unbearably hot that morning. I should have been in class, but pedantic lectures and the dry, recounting of history were the farthest thing from my mind. I'd made it as far as my car but I couldn't turn the key.
Instead, I’d remained parked under an old, gnarled oak until the shade it provided moved on in its unending flight from the sun. I was so completely lost in memories of losing my virginity with Faith that I barely noticed the heat until beads of sweat formed on my skin.
By then, the sun’s rays were beating in through the windows, making my car too hot to remain inside. Still, that heat was nothing compared to my burning need for her.
I was about to take a terrible risk, and like so many things in a young man’s life, I simply couldn’t stop myself. My desire for her was like a bit in my teeth, pulling on me, drawing me to her with a force I couldn’t resist. Scowling at my own weakness, I opened the door and stepped out onto the sun-bleached concrete. A gentle breeze washed over me, bringing relief to my body but failing to cool the molten arousal rushing through my veins. I was in a haze of lust and felt strangely invisible as I approached her house.
That feeling grew as I gazed up and down the street. Not a soul in either direction. School was in session for the younger kids, just as it was for me, and no one was left to play in front of the century-old, craftsman-styled homes. Ancient trees lined the street, providing me with both cover and shade as if they were silently complicit in my illicit affair with a married woman.
Images of Faith, memories of how she sounded and the way she felt, coursed through me. My pulse raced and my erection hardened in my 501's as I stealthily moved up the manicured walk toward her door.
The timing was perfect. Her husband was at work, and at this time of the morning, her two children would surely have joined their friends at school. The sexually charged calls Faith and I had shared over the phone at this time of morning, gave me every reason to believe she would be alone. The problem was, she’d never actually invited me to her home. This was a step I couldn't be sure she wanted me to take, and I had no doubt she would be shocked to see me at her door.
I could almost hear the blood rushing through my veins as I climbed the wooden steps of her porch. The shaded veranda provided a welcome refuge from the sun, and I paused for a moment, surrounded by the almost surreal normality of Faith’s life.
Standing among the many potted plants decorating her family home, I truly began to understand the risk I was taking. All around me were those little things that made the place feel lived in, each one representing a small nuance of her life. Whether it was her son’s baseball glove lying on the wooden rail, or her daughter’s skates left next to the door, I was faced with the reality of her family’s presence, even though they were absent at that time.
What struck me most was a tiny, plastic bucket containing a pair of dirt-covered gloves and gardening tools. Purposefully tucked behind an overflowing pot of multi-colored flowers, it suggested she’d just been here, only to be called away by some mundane household distraction.
Not far away, a hand-crafted, double swing hung from the roof. The porch and the whole yard, were beautifully maintained, and the little bits of clutter from a families daily life were sure to give visitors a feeling of welcome and harmony. Watching the swing slowly sway in the breeze, I began to get a glimpse of who she really was and how absolutely unwelcome I might be in the midst of her domestic life.
That, of course, was the thought I'd struggled with since getting up that morning. Every neuron in my brain screamed at me to leave, but my heart wouldn't let me. From the first, our passion had been fueled as much by the risk as it was by our desire. The danger of something so wrong turned a passionate moment of lust into a near earth shattering liaison that left us both wanting more. Age difference aside, we were violating her vows — but the thrill of that violation was absolutely intoxicating.
Knowing there was no turning back, I raised my hand and knocked on the hard, darkly stained, mahogany door.
I waited for a moment… then an electrifying tingle ran up my spine as the door inched open. Behind it, a beautiful vision of blond hair and deep blue eyes gazed at me. Those eyes opened wide as recognition flashed on her face, and she clutched the door tightly to her breast.
“Sean? Is that you? Shit, baby, what are you doing here?” The usual, feminine lilt of her voice rose with fear as the shock of my sudden appearance sank into her heart.
Her reaction was like a knife in my belly and a wave of panic swept through me. Her anger at me was well deserved, but I refused to believe she would actually send me away. Stepping close, I reached for her hand, only to grasp empty air.
"Faith... I'm sorry I surprised you," I said, withdrawing my hand. "I just had to see you again. Please, don't be angry."
I desperately feared I’d gone too far and frightened her to the point that whatever magic we shared was vanishing. Her fear, heated by a flash of anger, flared in her eyes as she tried to make sense of what I’d done.
"Jesus, Sean, what were you thinking? You can't just show up like this! I'm a married woman, remember? Do you have any idea what would happen if anyone found out about us?”
Her words struck me hard. She was right, of course. I could have ruined her life by showing up like that, and my heart sank as her anger scorched my fragile ego. Fear and shame boiled inside me and I recoiled, stepping back as I realized how badly I’d screwed up.
I thought all was lost, but when I failed to find a response, Faith visibly wilted, weakening under the same carnal need I had for her.
“You know I want you, Sean.” She spoke softer now, quieter. “I want you so badly it hurts, but for there to be anything between us, I need to be able to trust you.”
"I know, I know,” I answered, raising my open hands in frustration. “But you are alone, right? It’s been so long since we were together and I can’t wait to be with you again. Please don't ask me to leave..."
I was conflicted. My need for her was burning like a hot coal in my heart and yet I was terrified I might have ruined what we shared.
That moment hung in space and I became convinced she would tell me to go. But, thankfully, her eyes suddenly flashed in the beguiling way that had captured me so completely the first time we met. Hope flared in my heart, and as her lips turned upward in a repressed smile, I knew she still wanted me.
Emboldened, I stepped closer, drawn to her by that irresistible gravity I'd felt before.
“I am glad to see you," she admitted. "How could I not be? You just caught me by surprise. Please, come in. Let’s get you off the porch before someone sees you.”
The door opened further and she pulled me inside. Her mood switched from anger and fear to excited as I followed her into the house. A small, nervous warble appeared in her voice as if she were still unsure of why I was there. “Can I get you something? Lemonade or tea, maybe?”
My heart was buoyed and my belly clenched while I held her gaze. Deep blue eyes peered into mine, washing away her chastisement on the porch and bringing new life to my erection. Reawakened, it throbbed with hunger and incredible electricity once again charged through me.
Full hair framed Faith’s face, a golden aura that made her pale skin glow. She was a short, petite woman but with curves to make my blood run hot. Her light blue, button-up blouse, and faded, loose fitting jeans, showcased a natural beauty that made me tingle.
This moment was the culmination of hours we’d shared on the phone since our first time together. The phone was our only safe connection, and we used it whenever possible to play out our sexual fantasies. During those conversations, my confidence grew until the boy she’d known had grown into a man. I was no longer afflicted by a weary shyness. I knew what I wanted — it had, after all, driven me to take this somewhat risky step — and I wasn’t afraid to let her know.
“Is that what you want to do?” I asked, surprising her as I continued my slow pursuit across the living room. “Sit and drink lemonade? I think you know I didn't come here for a drink on the porch.”
"I know.” She swallowed. Her breath was deep and I sensed her growing arousal. I knew then it was the chase she loved, the idea of being wanted. She knew exactly what she was doing to me and I willingly followed her in pursuit.
I raised a hand to caress her soft cheek with the backs of my fingers. "Then tell me what you want.” Lifting her chin, I forced her to look into my eyes.
Step by step, Faith continued her slow retreat, and I walked with her across the carpeted floor. Hands clenched at her sides, she trembled as my touch grew bolder.
"I want you,” she said. It was barely a whisper, yet the words sounded loud in my ears.
"No," I said, shaking my head. "Tell me what you want me to do. I want to hear you say it."
By then, she’d backed into a wall. She was mine, and we knew the game was reaching its end. Faith was clearly shocked at how powerful I’d become and she fidgeted nervously. Her voice became hushed, building tension that added hot fuel to my desire.
"You know what I want," she murmured. “Please, don't make me say it."
"Tell me anyway,” I commanded. "I want to hear it from you.”
"Why? If you already know, why must I say those words?"
"Because it will turn me on."
We were stumbling into a new game; the roles were reversing. Her submission lit a fire in me and I felt a surge of power. I was stronger and demanding, more dominant with her. We were playing off each other's secret desires and, instinctively, I pushed her, believing she wanted me to break her will.
Faith's eyes grew wide and she quivered under my gaze. The game had taken an unexpected twist and she struggled with her shyness for a long moment before finally wilting under my stare. "I want you to fuck me."
My blood instantly boiled at her admission and I pressed my lips to hers, kissing her hard. Faith's arms encircled my neck and she kissed with an equal passion. The chemistry we shared flared between us and I was tempted to take her right there, against the wall. But I was determined to have her on my own terms and I relented.
"Take me to your bedroom,” I told her between kisses. She groaned softly into my mouth.
With only a couple of fingers lightly holding my hand, she led me down the hall before turning to face me. Her touch was electric, and a flush of arousal pulsed through me as I entered her bedroom. I was the hunter and she was my prey. The desire to hold her, and crush my lips on hers, rose like a storm in my gut. Swallowing hard, I forced myself to calm as she led me to her bed.
“We have three hours, Sean. After that, you have to go, okay? Please, tell me you understand. I can’t risk more than that. You have to promise me."
I nodded, then added a demand of my own. "I promise. Three hours and then I'm gone. But, until then, you’re mine. I want all of you this time, Faith. Can you do that for me? Can you give yourself to me, totally, without reservation?"
