Lunch was nothing fabulous, just a few deli sandwiches, some soft drinks, and a beautiful view of the river. An ordinary pair of friends chatting about the past and their current problems in life. From the outside, everything looked as plain and simple as elementary math, but the sum was not what it seemed to be. Eric and Dawn had met through a mutual friend a few years prior, and a torrid, but brief affair had ensued. Problems had arisen as both were married, but not to each other. As time passed, they had become friends, corresponding via the internet, phone calls, the post, and the occasional face to face meeting. Both of them were always careful to be cordial and polite while in public, but yearned for a second chance to be more than just friends.
Lunch was over, and as they left the river side diner, they both smiled, being able to spend time together, share some food, and hoping and wanting to share more, but unable to tell each other. Eric was getting impatient with himself for not telling Dawn about how he felt, and was trying to muster the courage to say so when Dawn said exactly what he had wanted to say for almost two years. "I really do miss seeing you, and wouldn't mind seeing more of you...if you know what I mean." Dawn's statement dropped Eric like a ton of bricks, but he quickly recovered, and started to figure out how it would work without either of their spouses finding out. The idea passed out of his mind the second Dawn kissed him. Her kiss was like a fine velvet pouch, lined with the most exotic silk, and given freely to Eric.
His emotions and passions overtook all of his logical thinking, and made him do as Dawn was implying. Driving to a small motel on the outskirts of town, Eric and Dawn checked into a room with one thought on their minds, and knowingly set about to cause each others emotions to explode in ecstasy, not caring of the consequences. After closing and locking the door, Eric made sure the curtains were closed tightly, as he wanted no one else to see what he would. Dawn removed her light jacket as Eric locked the door, and watched as he checked the curtains, knowing that Eric would do most anything she wanted him to, and maybe even some things she wasn't ready for, but her thoughts of pure lust clouded her mind to a point, as she knew they clouded his as well.
