Chapter Tenย - First Steps
As I looked into the room, my eyes met those of Elaine and I could see concern in those two beautiful blue orbs. I switched my view to Jackson and met his look of amused but friendly gaze with my own. Both were naked and bathed in sweat from their exertions on my bed and the room smelled of a warm and heady mixture of my Wife's perfume, Jackson's aftershave, perspiration and semen.
I had never seen Elaine look so beautiful at that moment as she lay there in that bed with a satisfied and languid look on her that I was unfamiliar with. Her naked body seemed to exude gratification and contentment that clearly was to her liking, and my heart skipped a beat as she dropped a hand to her vulva to stem the flow of Jackson's cream from her vagina.
"Come in James," she repeated in a soft voice, "and talk to Jackson and me."
"Don't you mean 'Master'." I answered sarcastically as I shuffled from the doorway and into the room. "Isn't that what I should call the man who I befriended and is now in bed with my Wife?"
"Not yet Dear." Was her immediate ย response which I let go for the moment.
"Oh heavens! You're soaked to the skin and your trousers are all muddy. You are dripping all over the carpet. What have you been doing?"
I ignored her concern for the moment because it was pretty bloody obvious what I had been doing, but I had to ask the one thing that would determine the rest of my life.ย 'To hell with muddy trousers.'ย I thought.
"I have only one question and I must have an honest answer." I stunned myself with the firmness of my voice because inside I was like jelly. And I didn't want to hear the answer I thought I might receive.
Elaine extended her arm to me to hold my hand but I pulled out of reach. She saw this and her eyes immediately started to glisten as I had never avoided her touch before. "What is it James." She spoke in a trembling voice.
"Are you leaving me?"
There! The question was asked and I physically shook like a leaf in the wind as she wiped her eyes on the corner of the crumpled sheet.
"Never in a million years James." It was short, to the point and she said no more but just looked at me as if expecting an immediate response.
I just stared back at her in amazement at her answer because I had expected to hear her say that she was going off with Jackson, or something equally devastating to me. But she did not, and at last broke her silence in that warm pungent room.
In a small voice she asked the same question. "Are you leaving me James?"
I did not have the heart to point out that it was my house and if anyone was to leave it should be her; besides I already knew what my answer was. "Never in a million years Elaine."
She bit her lip and smiled through the tears cascading down her pretty face. "You had better get out of those wet clothes before you catch something. Then come back in and we shall settle a couple of things. All three of us."
