"It's probably his tongue," I whispered. "I bet he's using his tongue right now."
My wife shook her head. "No," she whispered back. "Not yet. It's his finger. On the outside. He's just licked it. And he's sliding it across her labia, but not the clit, not yet." A moment of silence, then the sigh changed texture, a little more ragged. "There, that's the clit," Karen said. Her hand strayed to my hand. I could feel her pulse.
We had both heard the sigh from next door the moment we came into the motel room, although my first thought was that it sounded like an old window air conditioner that was about to die. Then I realized that, in January in the Midwest, it wasn't very likely. Karen, though, knew right away. She put her suitcase on the bed and came up behind me. I could see her arched eyebrows in the mirror.
"Sounds like someone's enjoying herself," she whispered, nodding towards the next room. I started to reply, but she reached around me and put her finger to my lips. She shook her head. The sigh repeated, a little louder, a little longer. Now I knew, too. Karen's eyes glistened as she smiled. She wanted to listen. So did I. The third time I heard the unknown woman breathe heavily, I was already starting to get hard. I wanted to jump my wife right then, make her moan. Still, Karen was right: we might scare off the game.
Now here we were, sitting on the edge of the bed. Somehow, we had quietly set our luggage out on the second bed. In earnest silence we had almost stripped down, me to my now strained briefs, Karen to just her panties. We had not made any noise, and so the entertainment had continued. Somewhere in the next room, a woman was becoming more and more aroused. Really, all that separated us was two desks and a wall. Our bathroom was farther away than the stranger, who now gave a little groan. Karen smiled, then whispered. "That was his tongue."
"Oh," said the voice next door. "Oh. Oh." A pause, then a long "Ohhhhh" trailed off upwards. It was actually a sweet voice, a little higher than my wife's. For a moment I thought of her as disembodied, and then I realized that was wrong. The stranger was saying that she was very embodied. Meanwhile, my wife's body was right there nearby me on the bed. So far, trying to preserve the situation, we'd barely touched. It was agonizing for me. I was hungry as hell to jump all over Karen, make her sigh and moan, give the neighbors an aural treat. I glanced at her, and I could tell that she was aching too. Her nipples were hard. This woman I had known and loved for these years, she was turned on. "Ohhhhhh," said the unseen voice, "Please, don't stop."
Our love life has been nothing spectacular. But we know what we're doing. Sometimes Karen will be at the stove, and the light will reflect off her cleavage in just that way, I'll come up behind her and slip my hand inside her bra, squeeze her breast, and before you know it we'll be on the floor, me inside her, stirring the pot, if you will. She tells me the curve of my ass as I put in a video--even a g-rated one--will suddenly get her going. Or one of us will hear a song on the radio and then the next moment her hand will be wrapped around my cock, her beautiful vagina in the palm of my hand, our breathing rough, our cries passionate.
So why are we sitting here now so chastely? We are overhearing a woman climbing the mountain of desire, surely just moments away from climax, and we're not even touching. We're damn near naked, and we just sit here listening, listening. We eavesdrop on someone else's fire. Are we embarrassed that we might be caught? That the couple next door will be offended? Right now it doesn't sound like they care. The woman's voice notches up another tone, she's half-whimpers for a moment, then chuckles a little under her breath. Karen and I glance at each other, and we smile. But still, neither one makes a move. Then suddenly the voice cries out: "Yes!" In our room, we both take a deep breath and let it out, quietly.
At last, Karen leans against my arm, but nothing more. I feel her against my shoulder, but nothing more. She turns her face, it's almost as if she's got tears, but she kisses me on the lips and says, "I didn't think listening would be this hot."
"I know," I mouth. "You have to use your imagination." And it was true. What was she like? Blonde, brunette? Red? Were her breasts jiggling as she bounced up and down? Would they spill over my hand, or would they just fit nicely? Was her vagina long and skinny? Was she shaved? I felt a little guilty, imagining her body while Karen was right there. I looked at the way her breasts were highlighted in the near darkness of our room. These tits had been my playground for the past seven years. I loved their feel, their response, how just by wrapping two fingers around her left nipple I could get Karen wet in seconds. Her pussy was a bowl filled with spice. Our lovemaking was just that: making love with someone I truly admired and to whom I was utterly devoted. Hell, I was devoted to giving her pleasure. So why was I now so eager to imagine different nipples, a different clit, different juices?
"That's right," she whispered back, looking at the wall. "How long is his dick, anyway?" Whoa! I'd forgotten him. But Karen, obviously, had not. She was imagining, too, and for a moment we had followed the same path to different conclusions. The woman next door was crying out, and I was imagining a penis sliding in and out, in and out, in and then hold and then out. But it was my penis that I saw. Even as I brought this picture to my mind, her cries got faster. Karen blushed, realizing what she'd said. I ran my hand down her naked spine, and she shivered. I often think of her back as another erogenous zone. She kissed me again. "You were thinking of her, weren't you?" she whispered in my ear. "Of course you were. She sounds tasty. But I haven't heard him at all yet, and he's been going a long time."
This was true. The woman's sighs, and moans, and now her cries--these were all we had heard. There hadn't been a peep out of him. Come to think of it, there hadn't been any squeak of bed springs, no rattle of furniture, nothing to suggest the bulk of two human beings making the beast with two backs. Were they doing it on the floor? And he hadn't made a noise. What kind of stamina did that take? How could I possibly measure up?
Right then, Karen's hand dropped into my lap, reaching into my briefs and gathering my hard cock. And right then the woman's voice leaped up another octave. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! I'm going to--AH!" The sound was so lush, and the sensation at my crotch so powerful, I almost lost it right there. I drew in a breath to keep from crying out myself. I stood up quickly, breaking Karen's contact and lowering my briefs quickly. I turned quickly to her as she sat on edge of the bed. I grabbed her underwear and pulled, sliding it down her legs and off her feet. Then I was on my knees before her. Imagination was no longer enough; I needed her vagina; I needed to bury my face in my wife's wet pussy. I touched my lips to her lower ones.
Unexpectedly, I was rewarded with a low chuckle--but not from Karen. The laughter came from next door.
