Chapter 5

Gina had dismissed the idea of going back to see Eric; but less than two hours later she was reconsidering. Gina had been a librarian for quite a lot years so to her, putting books back on shelves in their correct order, didn’t need brain power; she had plenty of time to think about her private life while she worked.

Having learned of her husband’s predilection for young men it explained why their sex life had been boring and unsatisfactory. For both of them. They had lied to themselves and each other, pretending the reason they suddenly decided to try and find people who Gina could have sex with while Stephen watched was to put a spark in their marriage when in truth Gina wanted more excitement and more cock while Stephen obviously saw it as an opportunity to explore and expand his bisexual tendencies. No wonder their sex life had been far from satisfactory.

But that didn’t answer the question of should the woman go back to see the man who had made her orgasm and could supply her with all the sex publications she could ever want - and more! When she thought about it in those terms she saw no reason why she shouldn’t! On the bus ride home she worked out a plan.

‘I saw my old school friend Dilly, today. She came into the library.’

Stephen was only half listening.

‘Apparently she’s going through a difficult time. She asked if I’d meet her for a coffee and a chat in town. I thought of getting the 7:30 bus back and meeting her in a cafe. Of course I wouldn’t need anything to eat - I’ll have my meal here. Maybe we could go for a couple of drinks in that nice hotel lounge near the library. You don’t mind do you, Stephen?’

‘Of course not, no. Would you like me to give you a ride in - the bus won’t get you there until just after eight.’

‘That would be lovely, yes, please. I’ll go and phone her’

Deceiving her husband like this was new to Gina - but it felt exciting. With shaking hands she dialled the number Eric had given her.

‘Hello, Dilly, it’s Gina,’ the errant wife almost shouted down the phone so her husband could hear. ‘My husband is bringing me into town, so I’ll be in the lounge of the Swan Hotel around 7:15.’

Eric, smiled to himself telling her he would meet her there.

Her drive into town with Stephen was almost devoid of conversation.

‘So where exactly do you want dropping off - cafe or Swan Hotel?’ Stephen asked as they neared the destination.

‘Oh, the Swan Hotel please.’ Gina said.

‘Okay, well have an enjoyable evening - I expect the evening will turn into night then early hours before you come home. Are you getting a taxi or is someone bringing you home? You won’t be phoning me - that will give the game away.’

‘What do you mean, Stephen?’

Stephen didn’t bother to explain in detail. ‘When you come home you can tell me where you’ve really been and with whom! Enjoy yourself, Gina!’

‘I don’t know what you are talking about. If you are going to be like this just because I’m going out without you for a change, then you take me back home!’

Panic had set in and taken over.

‘Really? And leave poor old Dilly sat there all alone when she already has enough problems?’ Stephen let out a loud cynical laugh. ‘It’s all above board is it? How about if I come in with you and say hello to Dilly?’

Gina did not and could not answer.

‘Are you meeting a man or a teen?’ Stephen asked.

Gina could be equally as sarcastic. ‘If it was a teen would you want me to bring him home for you to sodomise?’

‘Well it seems you are the one more experienced one when it comes to indulging in anal sex!’

‘Okay, yes, I’m here to meet a man! I was going to buy some books and sex toys from him. But it’s all gone wrong now so I’d like you to take me home!’

‘No, no, no, Gina. You do NOT get to decide when to start or stop a sexual adventure, just because it happens to suit you! Having some freedom, sexually does not mean you can treat me with contempt. I can’t take you home because I’m not going home - I’m off out too - looking for fun!’

‘How did you know I was up to something?’

‘Because you have never ever been out alone at night without discussing how you are going to get home - a ride from me, taxi or a friend. Tonight that never got mentioned. So I was suspicious enough to look in the bedroom whilst you showered to see what underwear you had chosen to put on. That was a big giveaway. Very sexy choice just to meet a female friend for a gossip! One you haven’t seen for donkey’s years, who I can’t check up on.’

‘I’ve bitten off more then I can chew - I’m out of my depth.’ Gina admitted defeat. ‘I’m not very good at being a lying wife.’

Stephen sniggered. ‘Don’t overdo the idioms! Go and meet your man friend! We’ll talk later - or tomorrow! Sex toys and books, you say? Bring back something that will interest me then!’

When Gina entered the hotel and joined Eric her face spoke volumes.

‘My husband knows I’m meeting a man.’

‘Is he about to come charging in,’ Eric asked.

‘Hardly, he’s driven off. I think I’d better give you a bit of background knowledge.’

Gina told him the short versions of their adventures from camping to sex with a student without mentioning names.

‘We felt we have spent years missing out so wanted some fun before we got too old. We both have kept dark secrets that have only just come to light. He hasn’t gone off angry - he’s gone to find his own favourite sort of fun.’

‘You need a big strong drink - then we’ll go back to mine and do what we intended.’ Eric called over a waiter.

‘Do you remember the man who came into your shop just as I was leaving?’ Gina asked, while they sipped their drinks.

‘I think I know who you mean yes, he’s been coming in for quite a while. I’ve no idea what his name is and to be honest I wouldn’t tell you if I did - client confidentiality! Just as I’d never give out your details.’

‘That’s fair enough,’ Gina said, ‘But you could tell him the woman he passed at the door was asking about him.’

Eric smiled knowing there was more to this enquiry than Gina was prepared to tell him at the present time. They finished their drinks then Eric led her to the car park. As they pulled into the road Gina noticed Stephen was parked up, obviously about to follow them; she said nothing.

‘I’ll order you a taxi to take you home - apart from avoiding your husband it means we can both have a drink.’
