Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Will was restless in his seat as the small commuter aircraft headed homeward... Not only was he anxious to see his wife Linda after almost a week absence, he was even more anxious to tell her his good news. He had just been offered a promotion to head up the New England regional office... a promotion that included a thirty percent salary increase and a yearly bonus. No longer would Linda need to work at her unfulfilling job... at last she could open her own photography studio... to expand her skills from her current status as an expert amateur landscape and still life photographer to a professional artist... something she had longed for in all of the fourteen years of their marriage and before.

As the engines of the propjet hummed, Will began to think more and more of his Linda. He knew that most considered her a gorgeous lady. More than anything in the world he loved his appealing, desirable Linda, who he considered one of those truly rare creatures that grace our planet. Sweet, kind, caring, faithful Linda. God could his 5'4" tall, 120 pound, size 10 wife have been 34 last month? He pictured her long brown hair shimmering as the light hit it, bouncing as she turned her head and the way she had of flipping it that he found terribly appealing. And her entrancing green eyes, an unusual green that captured the onlooker immediately. Eyes that seemed so innocent... but behind that naive exterior, Will still suspected dark and mysterious things. Some women have no lips, some have large full lips and some have perfect cupid bow, pouty lips. Not pouty as spoiled or testy but pouty as in ready to be kissed. He could picture Linda's tempting lips that seemed to pout perpetually, lips that he wanted to kiss the minute he saw her.

He loved Linda's breasts... breasts he considered to be perfect, not so large to look out of place on her petite frame but more than ample to please his eye, or to overflow his hands as he caressed them. They were still the same size 34C as when they were first married... still full and they still swayed nicely when she walked around without a bra, which she sometimes did at home. Will loved that and he recalled the trouble he had keeping his hands off of her, even when either of them had work to do.

And he pictured how her tiny waist curved in, then blossomed out to form her cute little ass... a firm round ass that felt so nice in his hands. Her saucy hips, flaring out enticingly. He knew that for most men, and, at least in his fantasies, for many women, to walk along behind Linda was a pleasure in itself. Her long shapely legs were a joy to look at and he ached to have them wrapped around him at this very moment.

It had been over a week since they had sex the last time and he longed for it tonight. Today was so special. He always felt so close to Linda after sex... he forgot all about business for that little while. As his mind raced, he could feel the hardness that started to grow in his pants as he pictured his sweet Linda naked next to him.

As he looked out of the window to the fields below that were just beginning to green, he wondered if the romance of the New England countryside would have the promise that he had wished for. While Linda had a B.A. degree in Journalism and had reasonably normal exposure to life,, she had grown up with a void of sexual activity and a minimum education in that area. She was given only the bare facts and little more. They had met in college, and it took him almost two years, just a month before their wedding, before she gave her virginity to him. He also knew that his beautiful and sexy looking wife had a large amount of hidden promise, but that, regardless of all of his efforts, he had not been able to reach her innermost sexuality... yet.

Now as Will pictured his lovely wife in his arms, he also started to picture the Linda who only existed in his fantasies... the Linda he enjoyed thinking about when he was alone, either at home or most often when he was away on business. The fantasies that he enjoyed as he lay naked on the bed with his hand wrapped around his hard cock... picturing his naked Linda, dreaming of swapping sex partners with other couples they knew... dreaming of watching his sweet Linda with another man and sometimes with another woman. Fantasizing about doing everything to Linda but especially shoving his hard cock into her cute round little ass, which she had never allowed him to touch. But while he would love for Linda to "turn loose" and get wild with him, he knew that he could not push it for fear of turning off his sweet little wife, and hurting her in any way would always be the last thing he would do.

In the final analysis, he guessed that they were much like the average married couple, sex no more than 4 or 5 times a month and fairly routine after fourteen years. While he knew the two of them were quite happy with what they had, he still secretly wished for something more. Suddenly he snapped back to reality as he heard the low whine of the landing gear deploying for their arrival.

Will would not tell Linda what the surprise was when he had called that morning, but she had a good idea. She left work early and stopped at the store to purchase all of the ingredients she needed to prepare a special meal for them. After she had set the dinning room table with her fine china, put the roast in the oven, and made a special desert, she still had time for a hot bath before Will got home.

The warm water felt relaxing as Linda settled back in the tub. She was so happy for her Will... he had worked hard... she was proud of him. She could hardy wait to see his handsome face and feel his strong arms wrapped around her. She really hated it when he had to travel. As she continued to think about her 6 foot, 170 pound husband, she soaped her breasts... almost unconsciously allowing her hands to massage her nipples. She pictured herself and Will sitting under a large tree enjoying a Spring picnic... and as her hand slipped lower, of him kissing her and beginning to undress her. She slid down even more in the tub and raised one leg to rest on the wall as she continued her masturbatory arousal. Her right hand was now working her little bud of a clit while her left thumb was flicking across her nipple... her eyes were closed as she pictured Will pushing deep into her... sliding in and out of her love nest. It only took a few minutes for her to feel her orgasm approach. She stopped her self caresses, blushed realizing what she had done as she quickly sat up and completed her bath.

She dried herself and perfumed her body for Will and slipped into the long black silk nightgown that he got at Victoria's Secret for her birthday. She knew that she and Will were deeply in love. That they filled each other's needs completely. Each year since they met they had grown closer and closer and more in love. Their's was a world complete with just the two of them. Linda dismissed the small unsatisfied hunger deep within her as simply a natural curiosity. She never consciously asked herself if she had married too young, before knowing other lovers... for she had found her sweet, sweet Will.

As soon as Will opened the front door, he smiled broadly as he saw his beautiful wife standing in the living room waiting for him. They opened their arms and fell into a long embrace coupled with a passionate kiss. "Welcome home", Linda whispered.

"Well honey", Will replied, "I can't wait to tell you any longer... I have been offered the promotion... it's everything we talked about, including a high enough salary that you can open your own studio."

The scene that followed was what you would expect. Will had been hoping and working hard for this new job for a long time. Linda had kept her fingers crossed, wanting it because her husband wanted it and now it had happened. The thought of missing her dear friends crossed her mind fleetingly but she put it out of her mind for Will's sake... it was going to be an exciting change, she told herself.

Will and Linda had a romantic candlelight dinner, as they sat close to each other and planned their new beginning. It was one of those rare but unforgettable moments in marriage where it seems that everything will be perfect forever. Will stood and reached out for Linda's hands. He took her in his arms and again kissed her passionately. His tongue slid into her mouth and danced with hers.His hardness pressed against his pants and he could see Linda's swollen nipples through her silk nightgown. He broke their kiss and took her by the hand and lead her up the stairs. In their bedroom he slipped the straps of her gown off of her shoulders... then pulled it down to expose her lovely breasts.

The remainder of the evening, Will made soft, passionate love to his wife... the type of love that can not be described... just imagined... if you were not the loving couple. But that night, Will and Linda felt closer than they had in years, and after Will exploded deep within Linda, he stayed pressed against her... his now soft manhood still wedged in her, till they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next couple of months were a blur of activity as they did all those things necessary for the transition to a new job, a new town, a new life. The home they selected in New Hampshire was a beautiful old colonial saltbox. There was a restored barn, which would make an ideal studio. It was in a quaint little New England village only about a half -hour from Will's new office.

Will had thought it necessary to work extra hard at first, leaving Linda alone a great deal those first few months. He needed to get things started right in the new job, he told her. Linda understood that but was terribly lonely all the same. She buried herself in getting settled at home and soon had their new home complete.She even found a little time to unpack and hang some of her photographs in her new studio and to start exploring the countryside with her camera to capture the autumn foliage. And when Will was available, she was reasonably happy. Life was good, she told herself and her loneliness would soon pass... at least she hoped so.
