It was removed from that category and substantially re-written, but the story remains the same. My thanks to Eve2015 for beta-reading this story ***** "To Anchorage tonight?" Aaron repeated into his phone with a tone of disbelief, then glanced over his shoulder at his wife. Mindy was calm for now. She sat in a pool of light in an otherwise dark room and sipped tea while she worked on her laptop. "I'll have to talk to Mindy before I can say. I know you don't want to send Ben, but can he back me up in case I can't go? I see." It was only Sunday night and already it looked like it was going to be a bad week. Aaron's company had a construction project in Alaska that ran into trouble and they needed an experienced engineer on site. Aaron found it hard to leave his wife alone for very long and his senior partner knew that, but the stakes were high. "Honey, we need to talk." Aaron said. He pulled a chair into the light and sat down facing Mindy. Aaron set Mindy's computer aside and asked "How are you feeling?" "I'm good." Mindy nodded. "I've been a little high lately--kind of off and on--but the new prescription is working better." Mindy's up phase worried Aaron. They were married for three years before Mindy started showing the signs of her bipolar disorder and in the two years since she had only swung into her up phase a few times. He barely understood her condition, but one thing he knew for sure was that when Mindy was high she could be sexy and insatiable. He needed her medication to work and he needed her to take it. "I don't want you to skip doses." Aaron frowned a warning at his wife. He took care of Mindy's needs when he was home, but he worried about what might happen if he wasn't around. "I won't skip. I promise." Mindy smiled. She held up three fingers in the Girl Scout's sign and added, "Scout's honor. Can I help you pack?" "Please." Aaron answered as he stood and kissed Mindy's forehead. "I need to get to the airport as soon as I can." *** Mindy tried to be the wife that Aaron wanted, but that sexy feeling was too seductive. She only took half her dose on Monday and she couldn't sleep that night. On Tuesday morning she curled in their bed and inhaled the hint of her husband's scent from his pillow. Mindy's thighs closed around her hands while her fingers brought her to climax again. "Oh God," Mindy groaned aloud. She rolled on her back and watched her hand while she formed the Girl Scout sign then tasted her wet fingers. Aaron wouldn't have the wife he wanted unless he suddenly appeared by their bed. "Was it three weeks ago?" Mindy asked herself. She thought back to the last time that she lost control. Aaron was exhausted from trying to satisfy her and needed something to distract her. He took her to a party, hoping that the other people around might keep her mind off sex. Aaron's scheme backfired, but Mindy wasn't at all embarrassed by her recollection. His friend Carl was there with his family. She pressured Carl until he gave in to her and for her the sex was good--it wasn't enough, but it was good. The morning passed with Mindy confused over what she was going to do and even confused over what day or time it was. Finally, she gave in to her urge and set out in the heat of early afternoon to find Carl. Mindy hesitated at Carl's front door and that gave Evy enough time to reach her before she rang the doorbell. "Shh." Evy said, and motioned with her finger to her lips. "I just got Kyle down for a nap." She didn't know Mindy very well, but she recognized her as a friend. Evy was surprised when Mindy brushed past her, then stopped in the foyer and turned. She had never visited before and Evy wondered why she would visit now. "Is Carl home?" Mindy asked. To Evy, Mindy looked confused, and dressed the way she was Mindy shouldn't be asking for her husband. Mindy's breasts moved under a gauzy blouse and Evy could see her pink aureoles through the open fabric. Mindy's flowered skirt fell around her hips and moved around her calves in ways that made Evy wonder if Mindy wore anything at all under the skirt. Evy shook her head and led Mindy to the kitchen where their voices wouldn't wake Kyle. Her pint-sized terrier Nano followed along, sniffing at Mindy's heels. "It's Tuesday." Evy explained and watched Mindy's reaction. "Carl is at work, Donny's at school and I was starting some house cleaning. You look lost. Do you need help?" "No, no..." Mindy started. Her look of confusion faded, to be replaced with an open smile. "I thought it might be a good time for us to get to know each other. Our husbands are friends but we've hardly ever talked. Aaron is out of town and Carl is at work, so why not now?" "You should have called." Evy smiled, glad to see Mindy pull together. "I need to wash dishes and vacuum, and..." "That's perfect!" Mindy interrupted. Her voice was hurried and a little strained. "I don't have to do anything else, so I'll help and we can talk." She didn't wait for Evy to answer. Mindy gathered the remains of Kyle's lunch from the kitchen table. She placed dirty dishes by the sink then opened the refrigerator. Mindy stood at the door for a moment, then turned back to Evy and held up a jar of mustard. "Where does this go?" "Third shelf down on the door." Evy answered. She wasn't sure what to make of Mindy but she was willing to let her help. Evy set Mindy to cleaning counters and sweeping the floor while Evy loaded the dishwasher and scrubbed the sink. Nano followed their foot steps, always optimistic that a scrap of food might fall her way. All the time as they worked Evy watched Mindy touch herself--sometimes through her blouse, sometimes through her skirt--and wondered what was wrong with her. Kyle woke from his nap while Mindy vacuumed, so Mindy put the vacuum cleaner away and entertained the four-year-old while Evy put towels away. Evy listened to Kyle and Mindy, unsure of who was giggling more and unwilling to interrupt until Kyle started to wind down. She found Nano's pull toy and shook it to call the dog. When the little terrier bounced at her feet Evy gave the toy to Kyle and sent Nano and the boy to the back yard. She closed the door behind Kyle then turned to Mindy. "Coffee?" she asked. "Sure." Mindy said, as she caught her breath. Evy directed her to the kitchen table where they could talk while she brewed coffee. "Are you usually a stay-at-home wife?" Evy asked. She was curious; most of the women she knew had jobs. "Yes and no." Mindy laughed. "I work part-time as a database manager when I can, but I usually don't have to leave home for that. I snuggle up in my easy chair with my laptop. How about you?" "Nurse." Evy said with a shrug. "I work shifts when Carl can take care of the kids. I'll go back to a regular schedule once Kyle is in school." Mindy scanned Evy's firm body then asked "What keeps you in such good shape?" "Chasing two little boys?" Evy laughed as she picked two coffee cups from the cupboard. She went on, talking while she filled the cups and started to the table, "Actually, I run." "I've never been a runner." Mindy shrugged. "It would be good for me, but I don't need it for weight control so I guess the motivation isn't there. I have too much nervous energy to gain weight." Evy set a coffee cup in front of Mindy and as she leaned forward she realized that Mindy was watching her breasts. "Isn't it kind of awkward," Mindy asked, cupping her hands under own breasts, "with your boobs moving around while you run? I mean, you aren't exactly small." "I keep them pretty well tied down." Evy answered. She slipped into the chair opposite from Mindy and looked down at her own breasts. "I guess I don't think much about the girls, especially since after two kids they're not what they used to be. At least Carl is still pretty happy with them." Mindy laughed, "Aaron would like mine to be bigger, but I don't think that's going to happen." Evy studied Mindy through her blouse and disagreed with Aaron. Mindy's breasts weren't big, but they were even and nicely shaped. "Men can be ridiculous sometimes." Evy shrugged. She watched Mindy move her hand from where it rested between her thighs to pinch and tug at her nipple. "Why do you do that?" Evy asked, and Mindy jerked her hand away. Mindy had dark hair that she tied at the back of her neck, but the front locks were too short to stay back and they fell, curving around her jaw. When Mindy looked up at Evy her hair once again framed a confused expression. "It feels good." Mindy admitted. "I can't stop myself sometimes, and I don't always know when I'm doing it." Evy let her face relax into a smile. Mindy seemed somehow sweet and a little helpless. "I do wish I could be more like you." Mindy went on. "Not just tall and blond and pretty like you. I mean strong and graceful--under control." She looked away and finished "I used to be more like that, but now I'm not." Evy shrugged off Mindy's compliments. "You need someone to take care of you, don't you." Evy said, and leaned across the table to touch Mindy's hand. "And that's usually Aaron, but he's not here." Mindy's need appealed to Evy; the mother in her and the nurse in her both wanted to keep Mindy safe and to make her better. Mindy nodded. "I expect Aaron to be back on Thursday and until then I'm on my own. I'm a grown woman. I'll be okay." The front door banged open and Donny--Evy's seven-year-old--threw his back pack on the couch and called "Mommy!" "Kitchen." Evy called back, then turned to Mindy and stood to step around the table. She tucked her hand under Mindy's elbow and encouraged her to stand, saying, "Thanks for your help this afternoon. It's been fun, but I have to see to the boys and to dinner." Evy let Mindy go at the front door and Mindy stopped to ask, "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" "The routine," Evy shrugged. "Gym and grocery shopping in the morning. Kyle and the house usually keep me busy in the afternoon." *** Evy was still in her running gear Wednesday morning when she found Mindy at the grocery store. She guided her cart through a slalom course of blue crates scattered in the aisles and rounded a corner. Mindy stood with her back to Evy and a stock boy stared from the opposite end of the aisle with a foolish grin on his face. It took Evy only a second to realize what was going on. "Kyle! Sit down here." Evy used a tone that the boy could not ignore and motioned to the floor. She put her hand on Mindy's shoulder to turn her around and pulled her shirt down over her bare breasts. Mindy had been flashing the stock boy. Evy rasped under her breath "Oh God, Mindy! What are you thinking? Why are you here?" She had never seen Mindy at that supermarket before. "I came here to find you, and I found him" Mindy pointed to the stock boy. Her eyes were bright and wide with excitement. She giggled, "Showing off is such a turn-on. I love the way they stare." "Kyle, no!" Evy snapped. She bent to take away a cereal box that he pulled from the bottom shelf then turned back to Mindy. Her hair was disheveled and her scent was unwashed. "You really can't take care of yourself, can you?" Evy asked, but she didn't wait for an answer. She wrapped Mindy's hand around her arm and told her. "Hold on to me. I have a couple things left on my list then we'll go to my house where you won't get into trouble." Evy left Kyle to play at a friend's house, then while Mindy helped put the groceries away Evy asked "What have you had to eat today?" "Today?" Mindy thought. "Nothing today. I haven't been home since midnight. I was too excited to sleep." She fixed her eyes on Evy in a way that somehow made Evy self-conscious. "Go sit down at the table." Evy directed. "Where did you go last night?" Evy asked. She poured Mindy a bowl of cereal and popped an English muffin in the toaster. Mindy's reply was hesitant at first, but her enthusiasm grew as she talked. "I went to the bus station. There are usually men there." Evy turned to watch Mindy, afraid of what might come next. "There were two boys waiting for a connection. I took them to my car. They were pretty eager." She motioned to her crotch. "And now I'm kind of a mess." "Oh, Mindy!" Evy groaned and turned away, unable to make eye contact. Mindy went on and talked with glee about how the boys shared her, and Evy's stomach churned while she tried to sort out her feelings. Finally, Evy's need to take care of Mindy overwhelmed her disgust at what Mindy did. Evy looked back again with a glare. "That's such a risk!" she hissed. "Not just for you, but for Aaron, too." Evy paused for a moment, then asked, "This isn't a new thing for you, is it? Are you supposed to be medicated?" Mindy was surprised by Evy's reaction and she pleaded, "Please don't be mad at me!" She searched Evy's face, then explained, "I have a prescription, but I'm not taking all I'm supposed to take." She reached to her right breast as she talked and pinched her nipple through her shirt. "I like the sexy way I feel when I let go a little." Evy set breakfast in front of Mindy then stood beside her to ask, "Do you have your pills with you, or do we need to go to your place to get them?" Mindy pushed her hand into her pocket and produced a small pill box that she popped open to show the three pills inside. Evy took the box from Mindy, then when Mindy finished her breakfast Evy led her down the hall and Nano trotted behind them. "We're going to get you cleaned up and back on schedule." Evy explained as she pulled Mindy to her bathroom. She stood behind Mindy and watched in the mirror while Mindy took one of her pills, then she turned Mindy around to face her. Evy undressed Mindy for her shower as she might undress Kyle for his bath. She told Mindy to lift her arms then pulled her shirt over her head. She unsnapped then unzipped Mindy's pants and pushed her pants and her stained panties down around her thighs. Evy pressed Mindy back to sit on the toilet seat then knelt in front of her. She slipped Mindy's sandals off and tugged her clothes to the floor. Mindy dragged the hair tie off her pony tail while Evy stepped away to start the shower. She shook her hair out so it fell onto her shoulders, then Evy guided her into the spray. "Use my shower wash and shampoo and conditioner. I'll get your clothes into the washer and then I'll be right back." Evy said. Nano sat in the bathroom door, wagged her tail and cocked her ear to listen while Mindy kept up a one-sided conversation from the shower. Evy stopped outside the bedroom and heard Mindy cooing, "Are you Evy's little girl? Is that who you are? Does she cuddle you and make you happy?" Mindy stepped from the shower to dry off and stood naked in the middle of the bedroom, silhouetted against the window. She lifted the wiggling little dog up over her head to kiss her nose and told her "That would make me happy too!" "We need to get you something to wear." Evy said and stepped through the door as if she heard nothing. She found Mindy a pair of flannel pajama pants and a fleece sweatshirt, then Mindy sat on the edge of the bed to dress and to dry her hair. Evy pulled her shirt and then her sports bra over her head and dropped them on the floor. Her breasts settled into place while she pushed her running shorts and her panties down and kicked them away. Evy glanced at Mindy as she tied her hair up and realized that she probably should have been more modest. Mindy was touching herself again. Nano waited for Evy to climb back out of the shower and dry off. The dog danced around Evy's feet while Evy wrapped herself in a towel and smoothed lotion on her arms and legs and then on her chest. She stepped to where Mindy sat on the bed and showed her the dab of lotion in the palm of her hand. "Give me your hands." Evy said. She wrapped Mindy's hands in hers and worked the lotion between Mindy's fingers and smoothed it over her skin. Evy enjoyed Mindy's hands and she watched Mindy's eyes while she talked and rubbed the lotion in. "I'll dry your clothes and fix lunch, then after Donny gets home we'll take you back to the supermarket to get your car. That leaves us the afternoon to kill. How about a movie?" After lunch Mindy studied Evy's collection of movies then said, "This one." and turned to Evy. She grinned and held out an old romantic comedy. "I saw this with Aaron before we were married and I've always liked it." Evy set the movie to play but then Mindy couldn't settle down to watch. She cleaned the kitchen and straightened the living room until Evy complained, "Mindy, stop it. You're busier than Kyle." Evy pulled Mindy onto the couch in front of her. Mindy laid her head back against Evy's shoulder to watch the movie and tugged Evy's arm around her like a security blanket. Evy was flushed with a sense of success from having Mindy calm and quiet in her arms. She toyed with Mindy's hair, inhaled her warm scent and enjoyed their shared intimacy. The credits were rolling when Evy made Mindy face her. They sat cross-legged on the couch, knee-to-knee, and talked and played with the dog between them until Evy checked the clock. "Donny will be home in twenty minutes or so." She said. "You should change back into your own clothes. They're dry now." She shook her finger at Mindy, "I'm going to check on you tomorrow. You'd better take your pills on schedule." Late that night Evy tossed in bed with Carl beside her and Mindy still on her mind. She had never before been so needed by another woman--or so attracted to one. Evy ran her hand up from Carl's hip and down his arm to touch his rough hand and wondered if he could relieve her, but he barely moved. She rolled away from her husband with a sigh and pushed her own fingers into her pajamas and squeezed them between her legs. *** Morning came too early for Evy; she felt like she was barely asleep before Carl woke. He was always willing to get his own breakfast but Evy liked to make breakfast for her husband. She fried sausage and scrambled eggs while Carl showered, and his breakfast was ready when he reached the table. "Ow, that's hot!" Carl complained, and set his coffee down. He watched Evy clean the stove and asked "I'm taking Donny to karate after school, right?" Evy pulled her hair back in one hand--a nervous gesture that Carl was familiar with--and turned to look at him. "Yeah, and could you pick Kyle up at daycare, too?" Evy asked. "It's Thursday and he'll be there." Carl nodded and started to say something, but his phone rang. He talked with his office assistant and his subcontractors until the remains of his breakfast were cold. Donny jumped down the stairs as Carl stood to leave. Evy shushed the boy then turned back to her husband. "Don't forget to take Donny's uniform with you. It's by the door." Carl glanced toward the door and said, "Got it." then bent to kiss Evy's lips and searched her face. "You didn't eat anything and you look tired." he said. "Are you okay?" Evy was not okay. She got Donny off to school then sat alone at the kitchen table with a cooling coffee mug between her hands and her phone beside her elbow. Nano and Kyle chased each other around the back yard and she tried to sort her thoughts over the noise they made. "Maybe," she told herself, "it would be best if I didn't see Mindy again--not now, anyway." She tipped the mug and watched the last of the black coffee swirl around the bottom. "What if she still needs me?" Evy asked, then with a shudder, "What if I need her?" A few drops of the coffee splashed onto the table. Evy stood up from her chair and made her decision as she wiped up the little spill. She reached for her phone, then jumped and caught her breath when it rang before she touched it. Evy read the screen; Mindy was calling. Evy's Love "Evy, Evy, I have an idea!" Mindy said. "It was so nice of you to take care of me yesterday. I want to fix you a picnic lunch to say thanks. We can take Kyle and Nano and eat in the park." Evy imagined Mindy pacing about her kitchen, holding her phone to her ear and gesturing as she spoke; the image made her smile. "That's sweet, Mindy." Evy answered, and forgot about the decision she made. "Can we have a late lunch? Kyle won't be there because he goes to daycare on Thursday afternoons, but I need to feed him before I drop him off. Maybe one o'clock? Here?" Evy studied herself in the mirror as she applied the last touch of pink lipstick. It was nearly one o'clock. She had freshened up and changed into a nice blouse and added a little makeup, all to go to the park. "I'm overdoing this." Evy thought, but she changed her mind when she answered the door. Mindy looked fresh and rested. Her red lips and bright eyes smiled from under a broad-brimmed straw hat and she carried a picnic basket in one hand. Her other hand gripped a second hat just like the one she wore. Mindy lifted the hat toward Evy as soon as she opened the door and laughed, "Look! We can be like sisters or something!" Evy took the hat from Mindy and pulled her through the door. "How cute!" Evy said, smiling at Mindy's cap-sleeved sun dress. "You look like we're going to a tea party." Mindy turned about and the skirt flared around her, then when she stopped it fell to her knees in deep folds of polka-dotted white cotton. "Put it on." Mindy insisted and tugged at the hat in Evy's hand. The hat just fit Evy. She snugged it down and tucked some loose locks of hair behind her ears, then Evy found her sunglasses and put Nano on her leash. The park was a short walk away on sunny streets. They passed the trees that edged the empty park, walked across a sun-streaked lawn and down a slope to where a cattail-lined brook murmured out of sight of the busy street. Nano pulled Evy to explore along the stream bank while Mindy spread a table cloth on the grass, then Nano caught the scent of lunch and pulled Evy back to Mindy. "You've been busy." Evy said, as she eyed the fried chicken and coleslaw, iced tea and cupcakes that Mindy laid out. Evy made Nano sit beside her so she couldn't sneak around Mindy to get to the chicken and realized for the first time how hungry she was. She gnawed a succulent bit of meat from a chicken leg, then slipped some skin to Nano while she watched Mindy. "You are back on your regular medication schedule, aren't you?" Evy asked. "Yes," Mindy answered with a smile. "I've been a good girl. The pills make it so I can control myself. They don't bring me completely down or make my sex drive go away. Aaron is on his way home now. When he gets here tonight he'll find a well-behaved wife who's...", Mindy smiled while she searched for a phrase, "eager to please." Evy set the bare leg bone down where Nano wouldn't reach it and licked her fingers. "So you won't need me anymore." she said. An oddly empty feeling swept through her as she said it. Mindy leaned close to Evy so that their shoulders touched under the brims of their straw hats. "I don't need you now the same way that I needed you yesterday." she whispered. "But I want you." Mindy touched Evy's hand and drew it to her lips. Her kiss sent a thrill up Evy's arm and across her shoulders; it settled to her breasts and then to her nipples. Evy studied Mindy's expression and said, "I could hardly sleep last night for thinking of this. I want you too--this afternoon. I don't want to wait." Neither Mindy nor Evy could be sure what was going to happen, but they giggled through the rest of their picnic. Mindy fed the last cupcake to Evy and Evy licked the melting icing from Mindy's fingers, then they packed the picnic basket and started back to Evy's house. Mindy and Evy grinned at each other and whispered like conspirators. The closer they got to Evy's house the faster they walked until they ran up the path to the front door. Evy let Nano off her leash as soon as they got inside then she turned back to Mindy. They stood breathlessly for a moment, each waiting for a sign from the other. Mindy tipped her mouth up and without thinking Evy's bent to kiss her lips. The picnic basket clattered to the floor when Mindy reached to embrace Evy. Their hats collided and tipped, and Mindy's nose dislodged Evy's sunglasses and knocked them askew. The tension that built up at the park and on the walk home was gone. They collapsed against the wall and slid to the floor, laughing at themselves. "That was like high school all over again." Evy laughed. She watched Mindy's smile and asked, "Can I have a do-over?" Mindy tilted her mouth up once more and Evy tucked her hand behind Mindy's neck to draw them together. Their noses slipped side-by-side then their lips touched. Evy kissed Mindy lightly again and when Mindy parted her lips their tongues met to explore, softly at first but with ever-growing excitement. Mindy opened Evy's blouse while they kissed and slipped her fingers into Evy's bra. She broke off the kiss and smiled with their noses nearly touching, "I've wanted to touch your girls ever since we talked on Tuesday." Mindy's fingers explored Evy's soft breast and sent a rush of excitement through Evy's body. Their lips touched once more while Evy's hand stroked up Mindy's thigh, under her skirt and to the edge of her panties. Evy drew back to watch Mindy's expression and recognized the excitement in her eyes. She nudged Mindy's thighs apart, slipped her fingers between her legs and felt the soft fabric grow warm and moist. Evy found it odd, having a woman grow excited from her touch, and odder still as she realized how excited Mindy made her. "Let's go figure out how this works." Evy said. She stood and shrugged her bra back in place and helped Mindy to her feet. They left everything where it fell and Mindy ran laughing for the bedroom. Evy chased close behind with Nano barking at her heels. Nano jumped onto the bed and Mindy stopped in front of the dressing mirror. She lifted her hair off her neck, looked at Evy in the mirror and asked, "Unhook me please?" Evy stepped close and unhooked the dress at the collar. She slid the zipper down Mindy's back and pushed the dress off her shoulders and to the floor. Mindy turned on Evy and shoved her against the bed. "Watch me." Mindy insisted. Evy dropped to sit on the edge of the mattress while Mindy made a show of wiggling out of her panties and pulling off her sandals. Evy's fingers and her lips tingled with the need to touch Mindy's cream-colored skin and her perfect breasts. She wanted to explore Mindy's neatly trimmed delta and to feel Mindy's body, warm and relaxed against her. "You're staring like that boy in the grocery store!" Mindy laughed. She pushed Evy down on the mattress, then climbed over her and sat astride her hips. "What should I do with you now?" Mindy wondered aloud, then answered herself, "I know!" She caught Evy's wrists, pinned them to the mattress over her head and kissed her lips. Mindy pushed her tongue into Evy's mouth, greedy for her taste and for her warm, wet touch. Evy gave her mouth to Mindy until Mindy sat back with her eyes wide and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "God Evy," she said "you taste so good!" Suddenly she couldn't strip Evy fast enough and all Evy wanted was to feel Mindy's bare skin against hers. Nano jumped and dodged when Evy rolled Mindy onto the mattress. They writhed together with their legs and arms tangled, kissed each other's lips and throats and touched each other's breasts until Nano barked for attention. Evy glanced up at the little dog while Mindy gasped, "I think Nano wants to play too." Evy untangled herself from Mindy and climbed off the bed to put Nano out. "Go find your blanket." she told the little dog, and closed the door behind her. When Evy turned back she found Mindy sprawled on the bed, still catching her breath. She stopped in the bathroom to find her lotion then went back to Mindy. "I liked putting this on your hands yesterday." Evy said, "Now I want to put it all over you." "That's cold!" Mindy squealed, when Evy squeezed a stream of the lotion out onto her breasts and her belly. Mindy snatched the bottle away and Evy dove to get it back. They wrestled and laughed until Mindy smothered Evy with kisses and pulled their bodies together. "Ooh, that feels good!" Evy breathed into Mindy's ear as Mindy pushed her knee between Evy's legs. Evy ground against Mindy's thigh while Mindy squeezed Evy's breasts and pinched her nipples "Mindy!" Evy moaned, "You're going to make me come." Evy clutched Mindy to her as her tension mounted, then she squealed as waves of sensation washed over her and spasms wracked her body. Mindy cradled Evy between her legs and showered her lips and her throat with kisses. Evy caught her breath then rolled Mindy on her back and slipped her fingers up the inside of her thigh to touch her sensitive folds. "You're so wet!" Evy panted. She tasted Mindy's warm nectar on her fingers, then combed down through Mindy's delta and between her legs. "Now come for me." Evy insisted, while she watched the expressions that passed over Mindy's face. She swirled her fingers over Mindy's firm button, then down to wet her fingers again, then up her labia to her hood. Down to wet her fingers, then up her labia again. "Faster." Mindy moaned, and Evy's fingers flitted over her wet skin. Evy held Mindy and kissed her throat and sucked her nipples; she inhaled Mindy's intoxicating mix of perfume and excitement. Mindy repeated "Oh love." and her body grew rigid, then she thrashed in Evy's arms while her orgasm swept through her. Evy waited for Mindy's body to soften, then smoothed her hair, kissed her lips and hummed little melodies in her ear while she savored Mindy's soft surrender. Evy and Mindy moved in each others arms, skin gliding over lotion-coated skin in a sensual dance. Late in the afternoon Evy was exhausted from her troubled night, warmed by Mindy's body against her and relaxed by her orgasms. She drifted to sleep and didn't wake until Donny banged through the front door, calling "Mommy!" "Oh shit!" Evy groaned aloud. She pushed herself up to sit on the edge of the bed and searched around her. Mindy was gone. Evy clutched the sheet to her chest and shuddered. With her need satisfied and the excitement gone, the realization of what she did washed over her. *** Donny talked constantly on the drive home, and Carl listened to him until he saw Mindy walking down the street. She was an odd sight. Mindy had a basket in one hand and held a wide sun hat on her head with the other hand. She gave Carl a big grin as he passed and lifted her hand from her hat to wave. Her hair was unkempt, partly in a pony tail and partly, asymmetrically, loose to her shoulders. She walked with a happy spring in her step that made the hem of her polka-dotted dress swirl about her knees. Carl still had Mindy on his mind when he pulled into the driveway. He unbuckled Kyle from his booster seat while Donny raced for the door. He threw the door open and headed for the kitchen, calling "Mommy!" and Kyle followed close behind. Carl found a broad-brimmed straw hat on the floor inside the front door--a hat like the one that Mindy wore. He hung the hat on the rack then went to their bedroom and found Evy sitting naked on the edge of the bed. "What the hell happened here?" Carl asked. He closed the door behind him, then stepped over Evy's clothes scattered on the floor and picked up her lotion bottle from the end of the bed. He tugged at the sheet that Evy clutched to her chest, but Evy held it firmly. Carl had an odd feeling in his gut when he went on, "I saw Mindy walking down the street. Was she here?" "I'll tell you later." Evy rasped. "I haven't gotten a thing done all afternoon, so dinner will be late." She was painfully embarrassed and found it hard to look at Carl when she asked, "Could you get the boys something to snack on while I clean up?" Evy had little to say to Carl that night. She made dinner and they ate without speaking to each other. She changed their sheets then went over Donny's school work with him and put the boys to bed, all while Carl watched TV and kept his thoughts to himself. The boys were long asleep when Carl turned off the TV and locked the doors. Evy retreated to their bedroom after she put the boys to bed and Carl found her in that darkened room. She sat in flannel pajamas on the edge of their bed and stared at the window. She hardly reacted when Carl latched the door behind him. He stepped close beside his wife and stripped off his shirt as if getting ready for bed then asked, "Will you tell me now?" Evy stood and stepped to the window. To Carl she seemed to watch the moonlit scene outside. "I had sex with Mindy." Evy paused and glanced at Carl before she explained, "Aaron's been out of town and she's been here for the last three afternoons. Mindy was sick in a way and not taking her medication. She was odd on Tuesday and terrible yesterday." Evy watched Carl's face reflected in the window. "She needed help. She needed me. I've never been so needed by another woman before and it excited me somehow. I got her on her medications and today she didn't need me in the same way, but I needed her." "I didn't know that you could feel that way." Carl whispered. He put his hands on Evy's shoulders and turned her toward him. "I don't know what to think," he said. "Was it good? I'm worried." Evy couldn't face Carl. She looked away and said, "I didn't think I could feel that way either. It was good, but not in a way that should make you worry. We had fun, but Mindy is still Aaron's, and I am still yours." Evy gathered the courage to look at Carl and went on, "If you want me." His eyes seemed steely and unfamiliar in the moonlight. "It doesn't change how I feel about you. It changes how I feel about myself. I cheated -- even if it wasn't with a man it's still cheating -- and I didn't think I could ever do that." Carl watched Evy's expression and realized that she was beating herself up. He felt small, letting her think that she was the only one who carried that burden. Carl searched for words, then told Evy, "Now Mindy has had us both." A moment passed while Carl watched Evy grasp the meaning of what he said. She stepped back with her hand to her mouth and asked, "When did that happen? How? Oh God, when Mindy first came here on Tuesday she was looking for you!" Carl watched his wife, not sure if this was going to work out the way he hoped. He told her, "It was at that pool party, almost four weeks ago. She stalked me until I gave in." "Was she good?" Evy snapped. Carl couldn't see the anger in Evy's eyes, but he could hear it in her voice. "You bastard! Tell me, was it worth it?" Evy swung an open hand at Carl's jaw. Carl adsorbed the slap, then blocked the punch that she aimed at his stomach. Evy pushed past Carl and stormed for the door but Carl moved faster. He caught her from behind and gripped her in a rough hold--one big arm wrapped around her body and his hand on her throat--and held her against his chest Evy pleaded, "Carl, please don't hurt me." Carl had already hurt Evy--even if not with his hands--and he knew it. He whispered in her ear, "I don't want to hurt you--not now nor ever." He felt Evy relax and went on, "Mindy was exciting, but she isn't the woman I love. She was exciting for you too, wasn't she?" "How did she kiss you?" Carl asked. He tipped Evy's head and whispered in her ear, "Did she kiss you like this?" He brushed his lips along Evy's ear and sucked on her ear lobe and Evy nodded. "And like this?" he asked, and kissed the soft skin below her ear, then her throat and the nape of her neck. Evy nodded again. Carl cupped his wife's breast under her flannel top and he asked "Did she squeeze your tits and suck you?" "What are you doing to me, Carl?" Evy asked. She had grown soft and her breath came fast and shallow. "You're mine." Carl rasped in Evy's ear. "I feel like I lost part of you to Mindy and I want it back." Evy turned in Carl's arms to look up at him and he watched her part her lips. Carl tucked his hand behind Evy's neck and bent to kiss her mouth. He pulled their bodies together and Evy's breath grew hot on his cheek. She broke their kiss, draped her arms over Carl's shoulders and whispered, "You aren't the only one who needs to get it back. Take me to bed." Carl lifted Evy off the floor and she wrapped her legs around his waist and buried her nose against his neck. Carl stepped to their bed to lay his wife down on her back, then he leaned over her to kiss her lips and her throat. He fumbled at the buttons that closed Evy's pajamas and she gasped when he lost his patience and ripped her top open. Her breasts were full and soft in his mouth. Her nipples hardened between his lips. "God, Evy. I love your tits." Carl panted, and Evy's laughter rang in his ears. Carl knew how to excite his wife. He slipped off the bed and knelt on the floor, then pulled her pajamas and panties away so that he could taste her musky nectar and suck the tender skin over her clitoris. Evy knotted her fingers in Carl's hair and rose slowly to her climax. She arched her back as she came, pulled Carl's lips tight against her and thrashed through her first orgasm. Her second climax came on the heels of the first, after Carl climbed back onto the bed and whispered, "Come to me, Evy." He gathered his wife in his arms and cradled her against his chest. He inhaled her excited scent and tasted her skin. Evy struggled to loosen his belt and he told her, "Not yet." and brushed her hand aside. He lifted her knee and laid her leg over his hip, then wet his fingers in her. Carl covered Evy's mouth with his and gave her no choice but to climax in his arms. Carl held Evy until she caught her breath then he stood in the moonlight to unbuckle his belt. Evy followed and sat at the edge of the bed. She pushed Carl's hands aside and freed his hard-on, then tugged his jeans to the floor. She wrapped one hand around Carl's shaft, rolled his balls in the other, and kissed and licked the smooth head of his cock. A shudder went through Carl's body as his cock disappeared between Evy's lips and slipped over her tongue. "You're going to make me crazy that way." Carl groaned and pushed Evy back. "You know what I really want." Carl wanted to be held in Evy's arms, cradled between her legs. He wanted to be deep inside her. Evy laid back on the bed and looked up at Carl's shadowy figure. She reached to him in the dark and whispered, "Let me give you what you need." Her arms wrapped Carl's shoulders and her legs guided her husband into her feminine center. Carl joined them together; he kissed his wife's lips and her throat and immersed himself in Evy's love. The moonlight had long faded when Carl laid his exhausted wife onto the sheet next to him. He nestled her body against him and pulled the bedclothes over them both. His hand traveled Evy's soft skin from her hip and over her belly to rest between her breasts. He kissed her neck and laid his head on their pillow, confident in the belief that Evy really was his alone. ***** The story of Carl's affair with Mindy is in my earlier short story "A Necessary Seduction."
