“We are finalizing the lease Dominic so maybe I can drop round later.”

Dominic nodded. “Yes of course, sorry. Pleased to meet you Cassandra, maybe I will see you around when you take over the studio.” He wanted her to turn those smoky eyes back on his face but she didn’t, instead she murmured a weak agreement to his suggestion as she faced Jeremy, and so Dominic left the room.

He didn’t want to go, he wanted to stay and talk to Cassandra. He wanted to feel the silk of her hair between his fingers, and yes, he would like to kiss those lips. He was shocked at his reaction to her because even though he knew he was lonely, he hadn’t expected to feel devastated by a woman just turning and looking at him.

Dominic stood in his cottage doorway and watched for Cassandra coming out of Jeremy’s office.

It was cold and his jacket wasn’t warm enough so that when she did come out, and start to stride up the lane, Dominic was freezing and was not very quick off the mark. He jogged a little to catch her up and as he neared her he called, “Cassandra.” He had no idea what he was going to say next and when she stopped, and turned to him she didn’t seem very pleased to see him.

“I know how bad Jeremy’s coffee tastes, and I was thinking maybe if you had the time I could offer you a decent cup before you ride out into the cold.”

It had just come out of his mouth and he was thankful for it. Cassie’s heart sank. She didn’t know what to say, or how to act. The gorgeous man in front of her was offering her something, but she didn’t know what.

Cassie had her bike jacket on and carried her helmet. She was not as tall as Dominic was, perhaps only just coming up to his chin in her biker boots when she turned to him. She was by necessity independent, and faced with the pain of trying to be sociable, or don her disguise of strength, she started to put her helmet on.

“I’m in a hurry sorry,” she said curtly because of her shyness.

Dominic’s expressive eyes exuded disappointment. He seemed crushed and Cassie felt sorry. Sorry that she was so shy, sorry that he was genuinely disappointed, and something happened to her, she wanted to be with him.

“You know maybe I will have some coffee after all. It is cold and exceptionally so once on the bike.”

Dominic broke into a smile of sheer happiness and glowed with it. Cassandra felt a wave of shyness because he was so beautiful when he smiled, but she fell into step with him as he led the way back to his house, and opened the door for her.

It's Wicked Wednesday and the guest author is Katie Ellison

Katie Ellison is a  housewife, mother, lover . . . along with her husband of 30 years she currently lives in London.

Over the past few years her personal life has exploded from a wonderfully liberated, but monogamous, marriage . . . into an amazing journey of occasional lovers and, most recently, to experiencing a full "swinging" lifestyle.

She has always enjoyed a loving, open and sexually adventurous relationship with her husband. Their love for each other was complete and never in question.

And yet, she still strayed. Un-expected, un-planned . . . something she never thought she (of all people) would, or could, ever do. And yet it happened. Lunchtime coffees with a work colleague, turned into evening meals, turned into . . .

Someone else liked her! Wanted her! Aroused her! Excited her! She couldn't help herself . . . even the complete feelings of guilt and shame in the aftermath, couldn't stop her. She enjoyed it, wanted it, needed it.

Her husband insists he suspected / knew right from the start . . . but for several months said nothing. Their sex (after her "meetings") was passionate and more fulfilling than ever. And with pangs of guilt the next morning, she would tell herself she would stop the affair, she didn't need it, it was wrong, it was immoral.

But she couldn't stop, she couldn't say no, she couldn't refuse, she couldn't deny it . . .

. . . just as she couldn't deny it the day her husband confronted her with "the question".

She thought it would shatter their world and be the end of their marriage, that there would be an explosive argument, floods of tears and abuse. But INSTEAD her husband told her he LOVED it . . . he LOVED the fact that she could experience the excitement and thrills of sexual adventure and pleasure with another man.

That day changed their lives . . . and, in Katie's view, made them each better people . . . and it made their relationship EVEN stronger and more loving and more fulfilling than either could ever have imagined.

That day was over 20 years ago!!! The different months and years (and yes different lovers) for Katie since have been a wonderful and incredible adventure . . .

"The Modesty Diaries" began as Katie's secret release. Typing out brief accounts of her affairs . . . they grew into extended accounts for her and her husband to relive her adventures, together after the event.

Now, finally, Katie is turning them into published diaries of many of the most memorable of her meetings and liaisons over the past decade.

The Modesty Diaries - Part 1 The Journey

With every thrust my lover was sending me further into my cocoon, my own world of warmth and explosion. I was vaguely aware of the occasional flashing of a camera, my husband’s camera, and above my gasps and moans, and the rising grunts of my young lover thrusting above me, I could hear the clicks of the lens!!

As I felt the orgasm rising within me, memories of the past two decades started flashing through my mind. Reflections of the first times, the first lovers, the first steps that had started me on this wondrous, exciting, intoxicating . . . and yes, addictive . . . journey. My screams as the waves of my climax burst over me and the gasps of my lover into my ear as he collapsed into my shoulder, brought me back to the present with an engulfing rush.

We twisted and squeezed together and rolled over onto our sides, shuddering apart and then cuddling together again in a warm and wet embrace. Wet with our tongues and wet between my legs and on my tummy as I felt the stickiness of his condom rubbing against me. His hands caressed my shoulder as I scratched my nails gently down his back and delighted in his purring moans in my ear. Hubby leant over us to kiss my cheek and stroke his fingers through my hair. “Incredible, just beautiful” he whispered to the both of us. I opened my eyes to see the same glints of recognition and remembering that I knew must be sparkling back at him in my own.
