The Affair

Home

“No problem John.” She wished he would have sat next to her, but that was ok because from her vantage point she had a pretty good view of his body. And it was truly a body worth seeing.

“Uh, like I said earlier, I am expecting Boaty shortly, so I really don’t have that much time. What can I do for you?” Please take the hint and leave before I have to become rude. Already the thought of Marlena waiting upstairs for him was making his jeans just a little bit confining. He shifted his legs in order to find a more comfortable position.

“I know we talked about maybe going out to dinner either tonight or tomorrow night and since I was in the neighborhood I thought I would stop by. Obviously tonight is out of the question, but how about tomorrow night.” Being a lawyer made you observant, you never knew what evidence you might stumble across. But being in the DA’s office made you aware of so much more, a person’s body language and right now John Black’s body language was very revealing. She watched as he kept shifting in the chair, trying to get comfortable. She stole a glance when he wasn’t looking. Yep, she was right. He definitely had a body and from what she could tell by the slight bulge in his jeans, he was no ordinary man.

“That might work. Tell you what; I’ll call you in the morning.” Anything to get her to leave. Marlena wouldn’t be happy but he would deal with that later.

“Great, I’ll be expecting your call.” She stood up to leave.

He walked her to the door. Just before he opened it, she turned, leaned in, kissed him on his cheek and gave him a hug. As her arms went around his body, she ever so slightly pressed herself into him. She had to know. “Good-bye John, I’ll talk to you tomorrow. And maybe we can discuss the Policeman’s Ball tomorrow night.” She walked into the hallway.

John was taken by surprise. He hadn’t expected that. Marlena was right. He would definitely have to do something about her. He closed the door, turned around and ran back up the stairs. He was in such a hurry he didn’t realize he had Rebecca’s lipstick on his face.

Rebecca leaned against the loft door. That had been a bold move but she couldn’t help herself and she was glad she did it. John Borne was definitely no ordinary man. If that was any indication of things to come, she couldn’t wait. Again, she would never understand how Marlena left him for Roman. What woman in her right mind would? She slowly walked to her car. She would sleep well tonight. And with any luck, tomorrow night, if she had her way, she would get to see John Borne in all of his glory.

Marlena was waiting for him in his bed. She was already naked and under the covers. He threw open the door and rushed in. Just the sight of her laying in his bed, waiting for him took his breath away. He stopped dead in his tracks and took a moment to memorize this picture. The woman he loved most in the world was in his bed. He couldn’t wait for the day when they would have more than just a few stolen moments.

As John stood there staring at Marlena in his bed, she couldn’t help but admire his physique. God he was a beautiful man to look at. She started at the bottom and worked her way up. His muscular legs really fit those jeans. He wore them well. As her eyes continued their journey upward, they settled in on a new development. Damn, the man was unbelievable. Already she could see a bulge in his crotch. Continuing their journey, her eyes focused in on his chest. The T-shirt he was wearing was form fitting. It left nothing to the imagination. Slowly her eyes came to rest on his beautiful face. And that’s when she saw it, the lipstick on his cheek.

“John, how did it go with Rebecca?” she asked coyly.

“I guess alright, I wasn’t really paying attention. To tell you the truth, while she was talking I was thinking of you lying here in my bed waiting for me.”

“So nothing out of the ordinary happened.”

“No, not really. Why do you ask?”

Well I was just wondering how you managed to get lipstick on your face. I know it’s not mine.”

He had been so distracted by the sight of her, he had completely forgotten Rebecca kissed him goodbye. His hand went to the side of his face and rubbed it. Sure enough there was lipstick on his fingers. “I forgot about that. Just as she was leaving she …..”

“Wait, don’t tell me. Let me tell you. Better yet, let me show you.” Marlena threw the covers off, and got out of bed.

The sight of her standing there naked, made his heart beat faster and the jeans get tighter.

“She did this.” She walked up to John and kissed his cheek the same way Rebecca had. Then she put her arms around him and gave him a hug pressing her body into him the same way Rebecca did just a few minutes ago. “Is that what happened?”

“That’s exactly what happened. How’d you know?”

“Because my love, while you might not have been paying attention to her, she was paying attention to you. My guess is she saw the bulge in your jeans and wanted to find out if it was real.”

John was incredulous. “Are you kidding me?”

“No I’m not and now that she’s felt it, she’s definitely going to want to have it. The problem is, and it’s her problem, that bulge” she cupped his crotch “along with the rest of you belongs to me.” Her hands went to his zipper. “And I don’t share.” She unzipped his pants and pulled them open.

This was a new Marlena standing before him. There was a time when she would have never been so bold, so aggressive. He loved it.

“I know what you want.” She placed her hands on the bottom of his T-shirt in order to take it off of him.

“Is that right?” He raised his arms in the air.

“Oh yeah.” She pulled his T-shirt off, threw it on the floor and wrapped her arms around his neck. “You want me.”

“Always.” He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. John walked over to the bed, sat her down on the edge of the bed and stood before her. Her hands went to the top of jeans and slowly pushed them down his legs. When they reached the floor, John quickly stepped out of them. Once again, he stood before her naked.

“John, I love you. Make love to me.” Marlena leaned back on the bed with her arms outstretched, her legs dangling over the edge of the bed.

“I love you Marlena.” The sound of her voice aroused him even more if that was possible. John lowered himself until he was lying on top of her. Her legs went around his waist. Slowly John began to make his way inside of her, taking his time, giving her body time to adjust to him. Now that he was completely inside, he began to move slowly. For the first time that day, they weren’t in a hurry. He wanted to take his time. Matching his steady rhythm, Marlena closed her eyes and let the sensations wash over her. Her arms wrapped around his body tighter.

“Baby, open your eyes. I want you to look at me.”

Marlena opened her eyes and stared into the blue pools above her. “Baby,” she whispered. “You feel so good.”

His hands cupped her face as he whispered in her ear, “Tell me what you want.”

Her fingers began to run up and down his back. “I want you.”

John removed his hands from around her face and placed them on the bed. Still keeping the same pace, he pushed in harder and deeper. His voice still whispering in her ear, “Is this what you want?”

Her fingers began to dig into the skin on his back, eventually breaking the skin. She moaned her reply, “O h Y e s.”

He continued to push in deeper. “Say it!” He was no longer whispering, it was now a demand.” Say it Marlena!”

He felt so good; she could hardly catch her breath. She knew what he wanted her to say. “D e e p e r B a b y.”

John raised himself up using the strength of arms to keep him above her. He began to speed up his pace.

Marlena no longer needed any encouragement from him. She knew what she wanted. She repeated it over and over again, “Faster baby, faster.”

Now John began to slam into her. Drops of sweat began to run down his back. His arms began to tremble. Without slowing down, he placed one of his hands at the top of the headboard. Using the headboard as leverage, he was able to push inside of her faster, harder and deeper.

Marlena raised her hips with each thrust. She was quickly losing it. While he continued thrusting in and out of her, her eyes focused on the way his chest moved above her. She had to taste him. As if sensing her desire, John suddenly let go of the headboard and dropped down to his forearms. He placed his arms around her waist, raised himself to his knees, sat back on his legs and pulled her onto his lap in one smooth motion all the while continuously moving in and out of her. Marlena buried her face into his neck, as she began to move up and down. Finally able to taste him, she captured his skin between her lips and began to gently suck it. The more intense her level of her pleasure became, the harder she sucked on his skin. She would definitely leave a mark. The sensation of her sucking on his skin while she rode him almost drove him over the edge.

“O h M a r l e n a, y o u f e e l s o g o o d.”

Marlena didn’t know how much more she could take. She was spinning out of control. Her hips began to buck against him. She couldn’t catch her breath. The only thing John knew was he wanted to go as deep inside of her as he could. She didn’t think he could go any deeper but he did with each thrust. Just a little longer and it would be all over. She could feel her body begin to quiver. Her vision blurred. There was a roaring in his ears. She felt as if her skin was on fire. His entire body began to shake. They cried out each other’s name over and over. The only thing they could do was hold on to one another. Wave after wave assaulted their bodies. And finally it was over. John and Marlena collapsed on the bed. He fell onto his back and pulled Marlena into his arms. Their bodies drenched with sweat from their love making, the sound of their breathing coming in quick gasps, both not being able to get enough air in their lungs. Both stared up at the ceiling, neither one saying anything. Finally John rolled over and looked down at her.

“I love you,” he kissed her forehead. “I love you Doc,” he kissed her nose. “I love you Marlena,” he kissed her lips.

While he was still leaning over her, she traced the outline of his lips with her fingers. He was such a beautiful man. And she didn’t mean physical beauty. He was one in a league all by himself. There was no other man on earth like John Borne. She loved him with all of her heart. “I love you too.” She snuggled closer to him.

Now that the heat they generated during their love making was leaving, he noticed small chill bumps rising from her skin. He pulled her closer to him and threw a blanket over them. There they stayed, holding one another and just enjoying their time together. It would be time for her to leave soon enough.

Marlena was the first to move. “I need to get home.”

“Doc, please stay a little while longer. I know you have to get home; I just want to hold you in my arms for a little longer.”

Against her better judgment she sank back into his arms. She knew she should be going but the truth of the matter was, she loved feeling his arms around her, their bodies pressed together. It was the intimacy they shared after they made love she missed whenever they were in a hurry to dress. “Just for a little while.”

He settled back and closed his eyes. This was what he wanted her to remember. Them lying in each other’s arms, totally and completely satisfied and happy with one another. Tonight when she closed her eyes, he wanted her to remember the feeling of his arms wrapped around her body. Tonight when she went home. Home to Roman. Roman. Instinctively his body, which a moment ago had been totally relaxed, was now tensing up once more.

Immediately she felt the change in his body, the way he was holding her in his arms. She had a pretty good idea why the sudden change, but she needed to ask the question anyway. “What’s the matter?”

John sat up in bed, resting his back against the headboard. “It’s nothing.” He didn’t want to upset her.

She knew him too well. “John, I thought we wouldn’t keep secrets from one another.” She sat up in the bed next to him. “Tell me.”

“Doc, I don’t want to ruin the time we have left together.”

“It’s Roman, isn’t it? You’re worried about what’s going to happen when I leave here. When I go home to him.”

John remained silent.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen. The only thing I can say with any amount of certainty is that we won’t be making love tonight or any other night.”

“Doc, I know you mean it but what exactly are you going to say to him. You can’t expect him to take no for an answer every night. He’s going to know something is wrong.” He ran his fingers through is hair. “Maybe we should just tell him the truth. That way it will all be out in the open, no more lies, no more sneaking around.” John threw the blanket off, stood up and slipped on his jeans. He walked into the bathroom and stood before the mirror.

Marlena grabbed the blanket, threw it around her and followed him into the bathroom. She stood behind him and put her arms around his chest pressing her body into him.

John looked at his reflection in the mirror. All he saw was a man sneaking around with another man’s wife. He hated himself for it. This wasn’t what he wanted. He wanted Marlena as his wife, not just his lover. But as much as he hated this situation, he knew he could never live without her. He would rather live this lie than live a life without her in it. Slowly his hands went to meet hers. “I’m sorry Doc. I know how hard this is for you and I’m not making it any easier. It’s just that I want this to be over. I love you so much and I can’t wait until we can be together.”

“I know, baby. I want that too.” Her arms were still around his body, her hands on his chest. “We just have to be a little more patient. As soon as we can, I promise we will tell him the truth. I hate lying to him and sneaking around just as much as you do. We just can’t help the way we feel about each other. I have loved you for as long as I can remember. I never stopped. Not even when Roman came back. I just buried those feelings and prayed they would eventually go away. But they didn’t, they couldn’t and eventually I had to face the reality that I loved you and not Roman.”
