Hindsight was a wonderful thing, mused Tom as he sat in his hotel room. Still he should have seen it coming from a long way off. Melanie's increasingly frequent nights out with the girls after work, the showers when she got home, the late working.
Their sex life hadn't changed, they still fucked like crazy, the original Martini girl, any time, any place, anywhere. She often took the lead and she turned him on like no-one had before. She knew which buttons to press and he'd thought it would go on forever. Until it all came crashing down.
The power failure at work, predicted to last all Friday afternoon had driven him home early, no work possible without electricity these days, so he'd got in the car and driven home. He'd been surprised to see her car on the drive, the power cut had not extended to her workplace, but perhaps she'd decided to take a half day and surprise him tonight.
He'd opened the front door expecting to see her in the kitchen or lounge, but there was no sign of her so he'd climbed the stairs to their bedroom to change clothes. Normally the sight of his wife naked on the bed, legs akimbo would have caused his cock to stiffen and his heart to soar, but the empty bottle of wine and two glasses on the night stand plus the white goo already seeping out of her pussy told a different story.
"What the fuck?" he shouted.
"Tom, what are you doing home? I wasn't expecting you."
"Clearly not!"
It wasn't so much of a row as Tom trying to get his head round what was going on. It wasn't that she didn't love him, or that she didn't want him, she did, but she'd become a sex addict, craving adventures, excitement, the thrill of new experiences. It was the satisfaction of being able to, not the act in itself. Could he forgive her? No he certainly couldn't, certainly not now and perhaps never. It wasn't only the infidelity, it was fucking in their marital bed, without a condom to boot.
Tom packed a bag and left, heading for a local hotel. He needed to get out of there before he did something he'd regret, like give in and forgive her.
Thus here he was, sitting in a lonely hotel room on a Friday night, staring into space. His phone rang, seeing his sister's name come up he answered it mechanically.
"Tom, is there something wrong? Melanie's phoned me and said that you've left her. She's trying to phone you but you won't answer. What's happened?" Tom slowly explained to Suzy the circumstances that led to him being there and the confusion that was causing his mind to roll around, unable to focus on anything.
"Right, first things first, check out of that hotel and come round here. You can stay with me until this is resolved. There's no argument, I'll expect you within the hour." Tom's big sister by two years took charge, and for once in his life he was glad that someone else was making the decisions, taking away the responsibility.
Picking up his still packed bag, he checked out and drove round to his sister's house. She greeted him with a hug and led him in. "Let's get you settled, then have a nice long hot shower and we'll sit down and talk this over." They talked long into the night but Tom couldn't get the picture of the spunk between his wife's legs out of his mind. He kept coming back to that. Finally he went to bed and slept restlessly until dawn when he got up to find Suzy already in the kitchen.
"Suzy, is it really OK for me to stay here? I won't cramp your style will I?"
"Tom, there's no style to cramp at the moment, stay here and get your life back on track one way or the other. It'll be like old times, you and me against the world." Despite himself Tom smiled, he had always been close to his sister growing up. He knew she would be his rock.
Thus started a new phase in Tom's life, some old habits had to change, he was no longer in his own house, he couldn't wander round half dressed, getting up for a pee in the night meant putting a dressing gown on, locking the bathroom door. Suzy also accepted that she would have similar restrictions on her hitherto free life, but she loved her brother dearly and was more than happy to conform to a slightly more stringent lifestyle.
A week passed by and Tom began to settle down. He'd told his wife (ex-wife he wondered) that he didn't want to hear from her. When, and if he was ready to talk to her again he would contact her. She accepted this and promised him she would mend her ways but he wasn't confident.
Inevitably situations between brother and sister rather than man and wife did cause awkwardness and minor embarrassment on occasions. Tom burst into the bathroom one day to see Suzy sitting on the toilet, knickers round her knees. Nothing was visible but he apologised profusely and beat a hasty retreat. Suzy managed to interrupt his shower one day, his naked form visible hazily through the shower screen, and on one memorable occasion, for Tom at least, Suzy's breast fell out of her robe whilst leaning across the breakfast table.
Suzy didn't have a current boyfriend so Tom didn't have to suffer noises in the night, but he did wonder if she masturbated as often as he did. If she did, she was as quiet as he hoped he was!
By the end of the second week they had settled into a regular pattern of life, the occasional flash of panty or hard nipple no longer elicited embarrassment and Suzy seemed able not to notice the odd bulge in Tom's trousers. They were in fact getting on as well if not better than they ever had.
One Friday night Suzy announced that the girls, by which she meant three old school friends, were coming round on Saturday afternoon to finalise their plans for a holiday in a couple of weeks' time. "No problem," said Tom, "I'm off to the rugby all Saturday and then going to have a few beers so I'll be a bit late myself."
As it happened Tom was home much earlier than he anticipated, his mates all being married, had to go home to their wives promptly and Tom turned up at Suzy's house to find two of them, Katy and Trudi, still there. He knew them pretty well from school days but was surprised to find them in a bit of a gloomy mood. "What's up girls?" he asked breezily.
"Philly's broken her leg and can't go on the holiday," was the answer.
