It's incredible how drinking too much alcohol can turn a happily married wife, and mother of a beautiful daughter, into a drunken, cock hungry slut.
Take this evening, for example. I usually drink only a glass or two of wine when I go out, but tonight I went with the girls from work to a club and consumed more rum and cokes than was good for me. On one hand, the demon drink helped me lose all my inhibitions — but, on the other, it led me to do something I shouldn't have done.
Then, feeling remorseful, I tried drinking my regrets away. I almost succeeded, but the girls from work proved to be my saviours; and instead of ending up in the gutter, I was hustled into a taxi and sent home.
However, I was drunk enough to make getting out of the vehicle a taxing experience for myself and the cab driver. Mind you, I'm not sure he'd complain that much because I distinctly remember a steady hand groping my breast when he helped me stand after I'd stumbled out of the car.
Anyway, tiptoeing towards my front door turned into a futile exercise when, despite the taxi's headlights illuminating the way, I bumped into my daughter's bicycle, which surprisingly enough, wasn't strewn across the path as usual but was neatly parked on its stand. My clumsiness sent the damn thing crashing against the side of the house and sliding noisily to the ground. The sound of that, plus the obscenities I let loose after tripping over the stupid fucking thing, should have awakened the dead, let alone the people asleep in the house.
And then there was the front door.
When it's dry, there's no problem. But, if it rains, the wood expands and the door sticks, requiring more force to open it. And wouldn't you know; an unexpected heavy shower had fallen while I was at the club, doing something I shouldn't have.
Barging the door to gain entry into my own home, it suddenly swung open, and I miraculously avoided falling flat on my face. Recovering my balance, I began my world-famous impression of a cat burglar navigating his way through a darkened house. Luckily, the taxi driver helped, although his assistance was as unwitting as it was useful. Backing out of the driveway, the vehicle's lights illuminated the living room, and I tried not to wince when I saw the time.
"Shit, one-thirty." Despite the amount of booze I'd consumed, I immediately felt a rush of sobriety wash over me, and I hoped I hadn't disturbed Hubby. I really didn't need the hassle of explaining why I was so late.
Having navigated the squeaky stairs, I had an urge to check on Kelly. Although only ten, she's a proper little madam. Cute as a button and as irritating as only a child can be, she has a slightly wicked sense of humour and is definitely not stupid. Kelly can extract either the best or worst out of people, an ability her father claims she inherited from her mother. Personally, I don't see it.
At this point — and it was quite impressive — I was conscious of the fact that I wasn't and hadn't been in control of my faculties for the best part of the whole night. So, I decided not to chance my luck, and let Kelly sleep.
Doing my best to be the invisible woman, I entered the bedroom and breathed a huge, silent sigh of relief when I saw the steady rise and fall of Daniel's chest. Tiptoeing across the lush carpet towards the ensuite bathroom, I congratulated myself on getting away with my crass behaviour.
Moments later, while brushing my teeth, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Not bad, I thought, for a thirty-five-year-old successful businesswoman. Tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, I was happily married... well, reasonably, to Daniel, a handsome, in-demand architect, who'd designed this beautiful house we live in with our wonderful daughter. In fact, I had everything a woman could wish for. Okay, a couple of hours a week at a sports school wouldn't hurt, but apart from that, I still had it. This evening had been proof of that.
My introspection was disturbed when Daniel appeared in the doorway, naked and drowsy. Despite having just woken, his perpetual lopsided grin, beamed at me in the mirror.
"Did you have a nice evening, Darling?"
Then, without waiting for an answer, he shuffled past me towards the loo. The sound of Hubby relieving himself gave me a couple of seconds to think.
Given the late hour, I wondered if he'd used the word 'evening' as a deliberate barb. Brushing my teeth, I glanced at Daniel's reflection in the mirror as he emptied his bladder. He looked utterly at ease with the world, and I realised my guilty conscience was making me think like some neurotic bitch.
Usually, Daniel didn't get angry at such unimportant things as the time I arrive home. I admit this night was rather exceptional but, mostly, he's so relaxed and easy-going it would be easy to think he didn't care. I know better. Daniel enjoys giving the impression that not much can ruffle his feathers. Then again, he'd yet to find out what I'd been up to this evening.
Contemplating my answer while he stood peeing in perfect ignorance, I wondered if I should lie — you know, to spare him feeling hurt and betrayed. Or should I tell the truth in an attempt to assuage my guilt and hope he'd forgive me? Quite a conundrum.
All too quickly, the sound of the flushing toilet brought me back to reality. Before I could reply, Dan came behind me, wrapped his loving arms around me, and gazed into the mirror. Smiling again at his reflection, I saw his eyebrows arch inquisitively. He had just woken, but there was no fooling him: he was waiting for my response. Did I have a good evening? Hmm… not sure of what to say, I nodded and hoped he'd leave it at that.
"Where did you go?" As he spoke, he rained tender kisses on the nape of my neck, and a wave of guilt washed over me.
"We started in the Red Lion and then went to that new disco that's just opened in town. I can't remember the name," I said, giving Daniel more room by leaning my head to one side. While listening, Daniel reached into my plunging neckline while his other hand moved steadily southwards.
Using his mouth to ease the dress from my shoulder, my stomach tensed when his hand reached the hemline. Memories of something similar occurring a couple of hours earlier tormented me. In a desperate attempt at self-preservation, I covered the hand caressing the top of my thigh with one of my own.
"Is it everything it's been hyped up to be?" Daniel quietly asked. Like the ones in the disco, his fingers were enticing all sorts of reactions from my body.
Again I nodded. "Not bad, a bit pretentious but not overly." Daniel moved his hand beneath the hem of my dress and traced his fingers up my thigh. "The DJ was good, but the people behind the bar weren't," I said, squirming from the sensations coursing through me. He edged his hand towards my damp knickers.
"Dan, don't," I protested, a little too quickly.
"I can't help it, Andrea, you look so goddamned sexy in this dress," Dan said and continued his exploration.
I sighed.
The voice was different, but similar words had been whispered into my ear earlier that night. Also, the way Daniel buried his erection between my buttocks reminded me of exactly what my young admirer had done when he spoke to me on the dance floor. I moaned as Dan's mouth covered my earlobe, and his fingers brushed against the dainty triangle of lace covering my mound. I held my breath.
"Daniel, there's something..."
"What's this?" my husband asked, holding two shiny fingers in front of my face. His calm was more frightening than I'd thought possible and all I could do was stare dumbly at them. "Is this what I think it is?" he continued, slowly rubbing his fingers against his thumb while bringing them closer to my face.
I tried backing my head away from the unmistakable scent of manly pride invading my nostrils but failed. I shook my head violently, but I couldn't refute the truth as convincingly as I wanted, and tears rolled down my cheeks. Under his constant gaze, my denial subsided and the shaking of my head dissolved into nodding.
"What are you saying, Andrea?" Daniel's calm tone and penetrating stare continued to chip away at my diminishing confidence. "Tell me what happened."
I nervously bit my lip before answering. "You won't get angry with me?" I mumbled, trying not to sob.
The slow shaking of his head and a wry smile helped me regain some composure.
"Am I angry now?" he asked. I shook my head. "All I want to know is how you've got another man's jizz on your knickers. Assuming that's what it is."
Again his calm tone drove me crazy, but there was no point denying the truth. The proof was right under my nose, glistening in the harsh bathroom lights. Feeling miserable, I nodded.
"There were these two young guys, boys really, couldn't have been much older than twenty, and they came up to us while we were dancing."
"Who's us, Andrea?"
"Karen, Wendy, and Priscilla. The rest of our party was at our table drinking wine and kicking back. Anyway, as I said, these two guys suddenly appeared and, without asking, joined us. At first, they were just dancing and gesturing. They couldn't really talk to us, the music was so loud. In fact, I'm surprised I'm not deaf, but they didn't seem to mind the noise. To be honest, they were nothing to worry about. For the most part, we ignored them. Then the song changed, and they began exchanging the occasional hip bump. Again, all harmless fun. But when Wendy and Priscilla returned to the table, that's when they started flirting with us."
"Us being?" The pregnant pause made me wonder what was happening, especially when the fingers in front of my face returned to my thigh.
"Karen and me, okay. I wanted to stop, but Karen was flirting with one of them and..."
"Isn't Karen your office manager?" Daniel interrupted.
I nodded. "And my friend… I wasn't going to leave her alone with them."
Danial continued watching me in the mirror. That was slightly unnerving, but I didn't say anything, even when he resumed caressing the top of my thigh.
"So, you're saying it's Karen's fault I've found a stranger's cum on your knickers?"
"Yes… nooo… of course not. It's just —"
"Just what?"
"Complicated," I sighed, unwilling to go into too many details. Daniel, recognising my tone, knew not to push further.
"Then the guy dancing with Karen grabbed her by the hips and pulled her into his groin," I said. "Although he'd taken her by surprise, I saw she wasn't upset about what was happening. In fact, when she found out exactly how excited he was, you could have mistaken her for a lottery winner. Anyway, having seen his mate chance his arm and get away with it, the young man hip bumping me, did the same."
In the mirror, Daniel nodded thoughtfully.
"And, before you ask why didn't I stop him, it's because I didn't want Karen to think I was a killjoy. I could see she was enjoying herself, especially when the guy began grinding his prick into her ass."
"Was the guy behind you doing the same?"
I wasn't sure I wanted to confess that to my husband but eventually nodded.
"Did you like what the guy was doing?"
I had liked it — too much — but I shrugged my shoulders indifferently. "I suppose, but I was quite drunk... otherwise, I wouldn't have —"
"Shusssh, Andrea, don't lie. We both know differently," Daniel said, moving his hand from my thigh to the damp patch of cloth covering my sex.
"What do you want me to say?" I demanded angrily. "That I liked the way the guy was touching me?"
"Just tell the truth, Darling. That's all I want to hear, nothing more, nothing less." He paused. "So, what happened next?"
I explained how the guys, obviously sensing that Karen and I wouldn't be making a scene, became bolder. Hands moved, cautiously at first, to our breasts, caressing them briefly, before sliding down our bodies and between our thighs. Daniel listened calmly and didn't speak, not until I told him my guy had a hard-on.
"Did that turn you on, Andrea?"
"Yes," I whispered.
"Can you feel how hard I am?"
I nodded. "Yes, Daniel, I can."
"Does that turn you on?"
I didn't say anything, preferring instead to push my ass into his groin. The gesture was met with a smile of approval.
"Please continue."
"When the music changed, they insisted on buying drinks. Karen and I exchanged glances to make sure we were on the same page."
"And were you?"
"I guess so. We knew the bar area wasn't very well lit, and seeing the lust in Karen's eyes, I knew drinking was the last thing on her mind. Anyway, we both nodded and made our way to the bar. That's where things started happening for real."
"Does your mystery man have a name?" Daniel asked politely, making me wonder if he'd heard what I'd said.
I nodded. "Adam."
"And what happened with Adam at the bar?"
"While Karen and her guy went off to order drinks, Adam pulled me into some sort of corridor. I think it was an emergency exit, but I'm not sure. It was really too dark to see, although I do remember seeing a green exit sign just before Adam started kissing me. Thankfully, the music wasn't so loud there, and we could talk properly, not shout or use sign language."
