She wasn’t sure how to start the conversation she needed to have with her husband.</p><p>“Are you alright?” Matthew asked as he took Sarah’s hand. Their fingers entwined and she looked up at him for a moment before leaning over and resting her head against her husband’s shoulder.</p><p>“I’m a little nervous,” Sarah replied before pulling her feet up onto the couch and tucking them under her knees.</p><p>“About what?” Matthew asked in the gentle, reassuring tone he almost always spoke in.</p><p>“I have something to tell you,” Sarah said. “And I’m just a little nervous that it’s going to upset you.”</p><p>Matthew squeezed her hand and replied, “I’m sure it won’t upset me, whatever it is.”</p><p>Sarah lifted her head, looked at her husband, and said, “At the Christmas party at school today, one of the teachers flirted with me.”</p><p>Matthew laughed. “Sarah, you’re worried I’m going to be upset about someone flirting with you? I’m not really that kind of husband, am I?”</p><p>Sarah lifted Matthew’s hand and pressed her lips against the back of it for a lingering kiss. “No, you’re not,” she said. “It’s just, it was a different kind of flirting, Matthew. The kind that’s inappropriate for a married woman to hear.”</p><p>Matthew’s look shifted to one of mild concern. “What sort of flirting is the kind a married woman shouldn’t hear?”</p><p>“Well, Mr. Hudson, he went on at some length about how he finds me irresistible. He talked about how he loves my dresses and my cardigans and how it drives him particularly mad when I button up my cardigans,” Sarah explained, though she had difficulty holding her husband’s gaze as she did, mostly from her own sense of embarrassment. “He didn’t come right out and say it, but I’m certain he was talking about…well, he was talking about feelings of a certain kind, Matthew, feelings that a married woman really shouldn’t be hearing from anyone but her husband.”</p><p>“You mean feelings of desire,” Matthew said.</p><p>Sarah nodded and looked away.</p><p>Matthew reached up and gently caressed her face as he brought her gaze back to his. “Was there anything else that made you feel like he was being inappropriate?”</p><p>Sarah thought of Eli’s touch, and then she felt it again. She closed her eyes as that lovely feeling moved down her spine once more as if Eli was sitting right next to her and expressing his desire while touching her.</p><p>“Sarah?” Matthew asked. “Are you okay?”</p><p>Sarah opened her eyes in a panic as she realized she’d fantasized about another man – even if only for a few moments – and that she’d done so sitting right next to her husband. “He’d put up mistletoe in the teacher’s lounge – I didn’t even notice he’d done it – and he said that we happened to be standing right under it and that tradition dictated that we should kiss.”</p><p>Matthew’s eyes went wide. “Did you kiss him?”</p><p>“No, no, of course not,” Sarah said. “I would never, Matthew. I was just sharing that as an example of exactly what he meant when he talked about how beautiful he thinks I am. He wanted more than to flirt. He wanted to kiss me and…well, I don’t know what else he wanted, but I know he wanted to kiss me.”</p><p>Matthew looked towards the TV and Sarah panicked. His face was blank and she worried that she’d made a terrible mistake by confessing what Eli had said. She was thankful she hadn’t mentioned the part about him touching her, for Matthew surely would have found that difficult to deal with.</p><p>Sarah moved closer to her husband and kissed his neck. “I’m sorry, Matthew. I shouldn’t have even spoken to him. It wasn’t the first time that day he’d flirted with me. I just wanted to see if I could get him to focus his desire on Hailey, who’d already expressed her own desire for Mr. Hudson.”</p><p>Matthew turned his head and asked, “You were trying to help your friend get a date?”</p><p>“Well, I suppose it wasn’t really a date Hailey talked about wanting,” Sarah said.</p><p>Matthew smiled. “Are you telling me that you were trying to help your friend hook up with Mr. Hudson?” Sarah nodded and Matthew laughed. “That is quite unlike you, Sarah.”</p><p>Sarah felt joyful. He was laughing, which meant he couldn’t have been that mad. She wanted to make sure he had no ill feelings towards her, though. “I know. Hailey was actually quite explicit about what she wanted to do with Mr. Hudson.”</p><p>“Was she?” Matthew asked.</p><p>Sarah noted a level of interest that actually triggered her jealousy a little. Matthew had met Hailey on a few occasions and Sarah couldn’t help but wonder if he found her attractive or if he’d ever entertained the idea of being with her. She pushed that jealousy away, though, and said, “She said she’d like to push him down into a chair and take him for a ride, I believe.”</p><p>Matthew laughed. “Did she now? And you were okay with helping her try and achieve that?”</p><p>“I guess I was,” Sarah said. “Even after she made fun of me for being so sheltered.”</p><p>“Sheltered?” Matthew asked.</p><p>“I told her I’d never had that kind of sex. Taking a man for a ride in a chair, that is,” Sarah explained. “I think she thinks I’m quite boring, at least when it comes to sex.”</p><p>Matthew didn’t offer an immediate reply, which left Sarah feeling deeply insecure.</p><p>“Am I boring?” she asked. “When it comes to sex?”</p><p>“No, not at all,” Matthew replied. “I love having sex with you.”</p><p>“I know, Matthew, but that’s not really the question I asked,” she said. “It’s…it’s okay if it’s a little boring for you. You can tell me.”</p><p>Matthew turned to Sarah and took her head in his hands. His skin felt warm and soft against hers and she felt impossibly safe in his grasp. “Sarah, I love you, and I love having sex with you. It’s wonderful every time we do it. I swear, it is.”</p><p>“Hailey says it’s a good position,” Sarah noted. “Would you…would you want to have sex like that?”</p><p>“With me sitting up?” Matthew asked.</p><p>Sarah nodded.</p><p>“Of course I would,” he replied. “I can’t imagine ever turning down the opportunity to have sex with you, Sarah. What kind of madman would I be if I did that?”</p><p>Sarah moved to her knees, lifted the bottom of her dress, and straddled Matthew. The couch wasn’t a chair, but it was the same basic premise. He was sitting up and she was astride him. They’d made out like that a few times back when they were dating, but she’d never thought of having sex that way.</p><p>“How does this feel?” Sarah asked.</p><p>Matthew smiled and said, “This feels really good. You don’t have to do this though, Sarah. Sex with you isn’t boring. I like the sex we have.”</p><p>Sarah couldn’t shake the notion that she was, in fact, a little bit boring in bed. She couldn’t remember the last time she and Matthew had enjoyed sex anywhere but in bed, and it was almost always in missionary. It was good, but she wouldn’t have blamed her husband for finding it boring and she was also certain he wouldn’t have admitted it if that’s how he felt.</p><p>“I love you, Matthew,” Sarah said. “You’re a wonderful man, and I’d like very much to have sex with you right here and right now.”</p><p>She leaned in and their lips met. Matthew’s tongue brushed against her teeth and Sarah opened her mouth and welcomed him inside. She moaned softly and her hips seemed to move without any direction from her mind. Matthew moaned and she felt his cock press against the red cotton panties she’d put on that morning.</p><p>Matthew’s hands moved up her back and over her shoulders and Eli popped into Sarah’s head. It was like she was back in the teacher’s lounge and his fingers were moving over her soft white cardigan, only she was on top of her husband and he was the only man she was supposed to be thinking about.</p><p>Sarah moved to take off her cardigan in the hope that removing it would help clear Eli from her thoughts, but Matthew stopped her.</p><p>“What’s wrong?” she asked.</p><p>He smiled and gently pulled her cardigan closed. He slipped one of the buttons through the hole and started to work his way through the rest as he said, “Mr. Hudson was right. Sometimes, you look utterly irresistible when you button up your cardigan. I don’t know if it’s a particular dress or a particular cardigan, but sometimes it’s so sexy, and today is one of those days. You don’t mind, do you?”</p><p>Sarah looked down to see that Matthew had finished buttoning up her cardigan. He took her breasts in his hands and squeezed them through the soft sweater and her dress. A look of lust passed over his face and she felt his cock throbbing through his slacks. She wanted to turn him down, to tell him to take the cardigan off, but she couldn’t. She just couldn’t deny Matthew what he wanted. He had no idea that she felt terribly guilty for letting Eli creep into her mind as she and Matthew kissed, but that guilt wouldn’t let Sarah deny her husband anything he wanted in that moment.</p><p>“I don’t mind at all,” she said. “I just want to make you happy.”</p><p>“Then that makes me a very lucky man,” Matthew said.</p><p>He kissed her and Sarah welcomed his tongue into her mouth once more. His hands moved over her breasts and she moaned. Much to her horror, Eli popped into her head again. She thought of him sitting beneath her. She thought of his hands on her breasts. She thought of his lips against hers and his tongue in her mouth. Guilt surged through her body, but it couldn’t compete with the inexplicable arousal that rode alongside it. Sarah moaned into her husband’s mouth and moved her hips over his crotch with surprising speed and force. Her loins were alive with pleasure and despite the intensity of her guilt over thinking about Eli, Sarah couldn’t deny Matthew what he wanted.</p><p>She backed out of his lap and reached under her dress to pull her panties off. Matthew smiled and quickly stripped out of his pants before Sarah straddled him once more. They kissed as she reached down to guide her husband inside her.</p><p>“Oh, Sarah, you feel so good,” Matthew said as she sank down onto his cock.</p><p>Sarah smiled as Hailey’s voice filled her head. It was, as it turned out, quite nice to sit on a man and take him for a ride. Not only was Matthew remarkably deep inside her, but she could generate an incredible amount of friction against her clit as she rode him.</p><p>Sarah even managed to banish Eli from her mind once Matthew’s cock was inside her. They kissed as he reached down to grab her ass and squeeze it in a rather possessive manner that produced a lusty moan from Sarah as she let herself sink into the intense pleasure moving throughout her body.</p><p>Then Matthew’s hands left her ass and moved up her body. One moved up her back and came to rest just below her neck while the other found her breasts. In an instant Eli was in her head again. She thought of his hand moving over her shoulder and down her arm. She thought of his comment of how much he liked it when she buttoned up her cardigan.</p><p>Sarah tried to shake that thought from her mind, but she couldn’t. It was as if she’d completely lost control of herself, as if Eli’s touched had worked some sort of magic and made it impossible for Sarah to govern her own thoughts.</p><p>Matthew kissed her and Sarah moaned into her husband’s mouth as she tried her best to think of nothing but him. She couldn’t, though. Eli popped into her head once more, but this time they were kissing. Sarah pictured them under the mistletoe in the teacher’s lounge. She pictured Eli leaning closer to kiss her, but this time she didn’t pull away and scold him. This time she let him kiss her. This time she let him pull her close until her body was tightly pressed against his. This time it was Eli’s tongue she happily welcomed into her mouth.</p><p>Much to her horror, Sarah came as those thoughts danced in her brain. Her legs trembled as her pussy spasmed around Matthew’s cock. She kept riding her husband. She needed him to cum. She couldn’t have an orgasm while thinking of another man and not make her husband cum.</p><p>Thankfully, Matthew climaxed soon after Sarah. He held her close and kissed her neck while cumming as Sarah tried her best not to let the guilt overwhelm her. Matthew couldn’t know she’d thought of someone else. She couldn’t ever let him know.</p><p>“That was incredible,” he said as he leaned back and looked up at her.</p><p>Sarah kissed her husband softly and whispered, “Yes it was. We should definitely do that again.”</p><p>Matthew nodded. “Yes, we should.”</p><p>Sarah could still feel the pleasure emanating from between her legs, and she could feel a little of her husband’s cum begin to leak out of her. Both of those were good outcomes, but she felt truly terrible about having let Eli creep into her mind. It was completely out of character for her, and terribly insulting to her husband too. Sarah couldn’t quite shake the nagging feeling that she was rather boring in bed, too, because she couldn’t remember the last time Matthew’s orgasm had seemed quite as pleasurable as the one he’d just had.</p><p>Sarah resolved not to think about Eli ever again, and to try and be a little more adventurous when it came to sex, for Matthew’s sake if nothing else. It was the least she could do for him after having betrayed him by letting someone else enter her thoughts right before she climaxed.</p><p>“You’re so beautiful,” Matthew said as he stepped into the bathroom to find Sarah naked and ready to step into the shower. He smiled and pulled her into his arms for a kiss that lingered far longer than she expected. Sarah felt her husband’s cock come alive and press into her as he formed quite the bulge in his slacks and she thought for a moment he might try and initiate a morning quickie in the bathroom – something they’d never done before – but he stepped back, grabbed his toothbrush, and said, “It’s a shame I’m already a little late for work.”</p><p>Sarah thought of the promise she’d made to herself the night before about being more adventurous, sexually speaking. She stepped behind her husband and reached around to stroke him through his pants as he brushed his teeth. “Are you sure you can’t be a little late?” she asked. “I wouldn’t mind having a little fun before I shower.”</p><p>Matthew spit out the toothpaste and smiled at her in the mirror. “You have no idea how badly I want to take you up on that, but I’ve already been late twice this month and my boss will be pissed. Like, really pissed.” He spun around, offered a minty-flavored kiss, and added, “I’m sorry. Maybe you’ll be in the mood for this kind of fun this weekend?”</p><p>“Absolutely,” Sarah said with a smile. She would have enjoyed having sex, but what she really wanted was to make sure that Matthew knew she was up for it. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and headed out as Sarah turned and stepped into the shower. She was a little late too, so she quickly went to work getting clean.</p><p>It wasn’t until Sarah reached down to clean between her legs that she realized just how turned on she was. All it took was the smallest bit of pressure against her clit to send a wave of intense pleasure through her body. Sarah pulled her hand away immediately and looked down as if she could see some clue as to why she was so turned on.</p><p>In the spirit of being sexually adventurous, Sarah closed her eyes, leaned against the wall, and reached between her legs once more. Not once in her life had she masturbated in the shower and she wanted to see if it felt any different. It certainly felt good, but not any different than on the rare occasions when she masturbated in bed. That’s when Sarah was hit with the idea to detach the shower head and see if the rumors she’d heard about the steady pressure of the water were true. She held it between her legs and unleashed an immediate moan as the massaging streams hit her clit.</p><p>“Oh, wow,” Sarah said. She closed her eyes and steadied herself as her legs began to tremble from the intense pleasure. “Wow, wow, wow.”</p><p>Sarah smiled and almost immediately lost herself in the pursuit of an incredible orgasm. She let her body relax as her loins prepared to unleash a wondrous climax. A moment later, Eli popped into her head. Sarah cried out in surprise and dropped the shower head. If Matthew hadn’t left for work he certainly would have run into the bathroom to see if anything was wrong. Sarah picked up the shower head, put it back in its place, and told herself to get clean and get dressed so she could get off to work. If Eli was going to pop into her head then there was no point in masturbating.</p><p>After her shower and a quick application of makeup, Sarah picked out a green and white dress and paired it with a red cardigan. Once dressed she stood in front of the mirror in the bedroom and studied herself. She couldn’t understand why Eli seemed so enamored with her. She was fairly certain that Hailey was far more beautiful, and yet Eli only had eyes for Sarah.</p><p>She reached up and buttoned up the cardigan, which had the same soft, slightly fuzzy quality that her sweater from the day before had. She turned to the side and wondered why it was that both Matthew and Eli found such enjoyment in her being buttoned up. There was no question her breasts looked a little larger, but it seemed so odd that they’d be so much more enticing that way.</p><p>Sarah reached up to unbutton the cardigan – she couldn’t very well dress in the manner Eli had described loving, after all – but she hesitated. It was as if her fingers wouldn’t do what her brain desired. It wasn’t the rational part of her brain they were listening to, though. It was the part of her brain that was still aroused. It was the part that continued to generate feelings of pleasure between Sarah’s legs, the part that had prompted Eli to pop into her head while she masturbated in the shower.</p><p>Sarah felt terribly guilty, but she left her cardigan buttoned up. She felt excited, too. Excited in a way she didn’t understand. That’s why she did it. That’s why she ignored good sense and dressed to be pleasing to a man she wasn’t married to.</p><p>When she pulled into the teacher’s lot Sarah told herself to unbutton her cardigan as soon as she parked. She told herself not to be the sort of wife that engages even in harmless flirtation with another man. Then she saw Eli get out of his car and head towards the school. She saw him wave to another teacher and open the door for her before stepping inside. She gripped the steering wheel tightly as that nasty arousal reared its ugly head again.</p><p>“Get a grip,” Sarah said. “What’s wrong with you? Get a grip. Now.”</p><p>She took a deep breath, got out of the car, and headed towards the entrance. She resolved to head right to her classroom to avoid the potential for a run-in with Eli. She wasn’t interested in seeing him for even a moment.</p><p>“Good morning, Mrs. Williams,” Principal Spencer said as she stepped inside the school.</p><p>“Good morning, sir,” Sarah replied. “I hope you’re having a good day so far.”</p><p>Principal Spencer smiled and said, “So far, so good. They never stay that way, though.”</p><p>Sarah nodded and headed for her classroom when she saw Eli step out of the teacher’s lounge with a cup of coffee in his hand. He headed her way but stopped the moment he laid eyes upon her. His eyes quickly roamed over her body – Sarah was absolutely certain she took notice of her buttoned up cardigan – and then he smiled and approached.</p><p>“You look more beautiful than you ever have, Sarah,” he said. “And I’m sorry for the way I acted at the party yesterday. I made you terribly uncomfortable and I shouldn’t have done that. I meant everything I said, but that doesn’t mean I had to say it. I hope you can accept my apology.”</p><p>“Of course,” Sarah replied. She felt rather touched at his seemingly sincere apology, though she couldn’t quiet the part of her mind that felt excited at his reiteration of everything he’d said about her.</p><p>Eli reached out, put a hand on her arm, and said, “Have a good day.”</p><p>“You too,” Sarah replied while trying her best not to show how good it felt to have him touch her. She rushed into the teacher’s lounge, noted the mistletoe still hanging from the ceiling, and locked herself in the private bathroom reserved just for the female teachers, sat on the toilet and put her head in her hands. “What is wrong with me?” she whispered.</p><p>Sarah didn’t have an answer. She only knew that she felt an overpowering kind of desire that she wasn’t sure she ever experienced. It was utterly foolish. All Eli had done was touch her. He hadn’t kissed her. He hadn’t uttered a single dirty word. He’d simply told her she was beautiful and touched her arm, and yet Sarah felt such intense desire for him.</p><p>Without thinking, Sarah lifted the bottom of her dressed, pulled her panties aside, and masturbated. She was soaked and she collected a bit of her lubrication with her index finger and used it to rub her clit. In an instant her entire body was alive with pleasure. In that same instant Eli popped into her head, only now he and Sarah were in her shower. They were naked. They were kissing. His hands were moving over her body. He was whispering how beautiful she was.</p><p>Sarah bit her lip hard when she came. She couldn’t afford for anyone to hear her. It was an incredible orgasm, though. She felt lightheaded and her toes were numb for a few moments as her loins spasmed over and over from the intense pleasure.</p><p>A deep sense of guilt washed over her as Sarah put her panties back in place, fixed her dress, and stood to make sure she hadn’t messed up her hair or makeup during her impromptu masturbation session. Her face was flushed red, but otherwise she looked just fine and there was nothing she could do about the coloring.</p><p>Hailey was in the teacher’s lounge when Sarah stepped out of the bathroom and exited the short hallway that led to it. “Sarah, are you okay?”</p><p>“Yeah, why?” Sarah asked.</p><p>“Your face is red like you’ve got a sunburn,” Hailey replied.</p><p>Sarah felt embarrassed that she’d demonstrated so little self control, but there was no question she felt better after having released the arousal she’d let build up. She felt more like some of her teenage male students – who thought of sex all day long – than she did the 26 year old woman she actually was.</p><p>“My face feels a little hot, I guess,” Sarah said, “but I feel good otherwise, so I’m sure I’m fine.”</p><p>“Can I make you a coffee?” Hailey asked.</p><p>“No, thanks, I should get to my class to do a little prep work,” Sarah replied. “I’ll see you at lunch, though.”</p><p>Sarah didn’t have any prep work to do, but she couldn’t bear being around her friend mere moments after having an orgasm. She was certain Hailey would be able to tell and that she’d end up confessing all the confusing, terrible, adulterous thoughts she’d had over the past day and once all that spilled out Sarah wouldn’t be able to stop babbling, so she clammed up and resolved to get through the day and figure out how to deal with what felt like a fairly significant problem once work was done.</p>
