When Eve came unto Adam, he was shocked.
He knew something was up when he arrived home from work and was greeted with a passionate kiss, but he had no idea that it was only a preview of the night ahead.
After the toddlers were fed and put to bed, she took his hand and led him to the bedroom. When she finally had enough, he was too exhausted to say anything. The same thing happened the next two nights.
It wasn't until Saturday, during the children's naptime, that he sat across from her in the family room and asked her about it.
"Eve, what's come over you the last few nights? You've never been like this before."
"Are you upset with how I'm fulfilling my wifely duty. If you're displeased, please correct me."
Eve and Adam weren't raised as practicing Christians, but at one point they looked around them at what others were doing with their lives. They saw mostly narcissism, selfishness, hedonism and unhappiness.
They wanted something different for themselves and their children, so they explored several paths before they settled on born-again Christianity, They joined the flock of an inspiring pastor and adopted most of the conventions of their new faith, such as the wife's subservience to the husband.
There was a bit of play-acting in the way they did this. Adam was glad Eve was a strong-willed woman who wouldn't take crap from anyone. It was her idea to submit to him in the home.
She didn't stop giving him advice and suggestions, or arguing with him, but she also never questioned his decisions, even those she wouldn't have made. She felt the closeness and marital peace they enjoyed was worth more than getting her way.
Adam considered her superior to him in brains, looks and almost everything else, and he nearly always followed her advice. When he didn't, it was usually because he had misunderstood her.
As they each worked at putting the interests of the other before their own, they were rewarded with the kind of marriage and family they had been seeking. What pleased them the most was that their children got into as much trouble as any of their young friends, but nevertheless dazzled their teachers and other adults with their kindness and eagerness to help anyone in need.
The marriage was also physically fulfilling. Before they were born again, both had lots of experience with lust, and they read nothing in the Bible prohibiting an active and imaginative sex life.
They both exercised and kept trim, and Eve was blessed with the face and body of a movie star, although nobody in the congregation knew it because she dressed modestly.
Adam had usually been the initiator of sex until the past three nights. Not only had she taken the lead during their lovemaking, but she had been both demanding and aggressive. She had never acted like that, even before they were born again.
"I'm not displeased," he said, answering her question. "I thank God for giving me the hottest woman on the planet for a wife. I was just surprised because this is a side of you I've never seen. I was wondering why you revealed it to me now."
He saw she was struggling with something and trying to make up her mind. She became increasingly agitated and finally burst into tears.
"Eve, Eve, what's wrong? Please forgive me if what I said hurt or embarrassed you."
His words didn't comfort her, so he got up and walked over to her, leaned over and put an arm around her shoulders. She jumped up, wrapped her arms around him, buried her face in his shoulder and continued to sob.
They stood like this for a few minutes before she released him and motioned for him to sit down. She sat down facing him and wiped away her tears.
"Oh, Adam, my beloved," she said, "I have been unholy and impure. I am not worthy of you. I am playing the harlot, and my mind is full of abomination. I don't know what to do."
Adam was shocked by her words. He didn't know what to say, so he tried to stay calm as he waited for her to explain.
"I did something I should never have done last week," she finally said, "and when I did it, I let the devil into my mind. I am afraid to talk about it with the pastor. But if I don't tell you, I'm afraid it might destroy everything we've built together."
He stared at her and spoke haltingly.
"What do you mean?"
"You know my friend, Kathy? I found out from some mutual friends that she had caught her husband watching pornography on the Internet instead of fulfilling her physical needs. To punish him, she forced him to act in a sex video. She degraded and humiliated him and even made him have sex with a man.
"Kathy never mentioned any of this to me, but she showed the video to others, and I found out. I should have put it out of my mind, but instead I called her up and asked whether I could watch a few minutes of the video. I was ashamed and swore to the Almighty that I would cancel the appointment, but I kept it anyway.
"I ended up watching the whole thing, and as disgusting as it was, my reaction was even worse. I became aroused and even had an orgasm while I was watching her husband being mortified.
"Afterwards, I tried to put it out of my mind, but when you came home that night, I couldn't keep myself from using you to release my sexual tension. The same thing has been happening the last two nights.
