Click hereThey had planned to use the morning to go shopping together, but there they were, by the door, looking at each other. Next thing they knew, they were both half-undressed, kissing. Mike had his hand under Jennifer's panties and was stroking her clit.
After Jennifer came, off came her bra and Mike's underpants. She went down on him, while he played with her breasts, which he soon came all over. As he caught his breath, she spread the cum around until her entire chest glistened with an even sheen. Then she removed her panties and dangled them playfully, as if to say, "Come and get them!"
Jennifer turned and headed for the stairs. The chase was on, but it didn't last long. Halfway up the stairs, Mike tackled her from behind, gaining a close-up view of her ass and its irresistible little rosebud. He dove in with his tongue.
Once Jennifer was moaning steadily from the stimulation, Mike slipped a finger inside her very wet pussy. Soon, she was on the verge of coming again, and Mike was hard again. They headed to the bedroom...
The recorded shows were over. Now they were watching live TV. While they tried to muster the energy to get off the couch, a preview came on. It was one of those teasers of upcoming shows.
"Next week on Late Night Showcase..."
There was Michael Douglas, circa the late 1980's. Having dinner with him was Glenn Close, wearing a white coat with shoulder pads you couldn't get away with today.
"He was happily married..."
Now Douglas was at home, lifting his child and smiling at his wife, played by Anne Archer.
"But she was irresistible..."
Back to Douglas and Close having dinner, exchanging charged glances and words.
"An attraction that could not be denied..."
Now Douglas and Close were in an elevator, passionately going at each other...
Yes, it was a teaser for Fatal Attraction. At first, Mike watched it with nostalgia and bemusement...until suddenly, he felt sick to his stomach. At about that same moment, he realized that Jennifer was sobbing. She leapt up from the couch and hastily went upstairs.
Mike shut the TV off. He turned off the light and followed Jennifer. As he approached their bedroom, he saw that the door to it was closed. Moving closer, Mike paused in front of the open door to the spare bedroom.
Then he continued down the hall. He grasped the knob on the master bedroom door, turned it, and went inside. The light was dim, but he could see that Jennifer's face was buried in a pillow.
Mike got into bed and held his wife until they both fell asleep.
That night, Mike dreamed he was Bruce Springsteen—known to his bandmates, and his fans, as "the Boss." He was sitting alone, with a guitar, writing a song. A song about a man and a woman taking an unexpectedly dark ride. A song that needed one last verse.
Then it came to him.
Well it ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you want to ride on down, in through this tunnel of love

Anonymous7 months agoGreat story. It pulled the emotional cords for me a few times and that is tough to get this 67-year-old tough guy to do. I read the entire story in one setting. I will remember the characters and the lessons from this story for a long time. Thanks.
JimmyThePlunger8 months agoWell written and well thought out story. Possibly as some have said a bit long but nevertheless I really enjoyed and bought into it. The real bonus, as a fan of the Boss, I really enjoyed hiw you wove the tale to make meaning of his lyrics in the story.
Well done and thank you.
Anonymousabout 1 year agoCreative and intense. An emotional rollercoaster. Jennifer's insights were poignant but her hypothetical about if James was a regular guy as opposed to a professional seducer being paid to get into her pants, while thought provoking, do.not fairly represent reality. It is like a quantum system. Being an observer and taking a measurement, fundamentally affect the system. James also clearly played the sick/dying child angle like a master. Hearing your wife say that she loved another man in addition to you, is beyond gut wrenching. But let's analyze that carefully. Yes she fell "in love" with James the Seducer wanting to screw him and potentially have a long affair. But there is a difference. You can fall "in love" with someone in 4 weeks. Can even be enough yo day "I love you" to the person, given the right circumstances. But in 4 weeks, Jennifer did NOT really love James. She thought she might and hence as he cried her "what if" statement. But she was fell "in love" with James and was "in lust". She did not in fact love him. Would that realization been enough to prevent a long affair if he had been a regular super-hunk guy? Maybe not. But the fact remains he was a serial seducer, he did manipulate her at a level that it is absolutely certain she did not even know she was being manipulated. Doesn't mean she is blameless. She certainly owns her moral weakness. And yes if not for two words, she would have gone to town on James that night. But she had enough of a moral dilemma going that she was able to stop and pull off after admittedly a lot of challenging infidelities. I woukd also wager that if she had gone through with it, no matter how great the sex with James, real or imagined, she would have been guilty as hell and after a short time, regardless of Peter, even if James had been a real guy, she would have confessed to Mike and they would have gotten divorced. She was cutting herself intentionally in this last session to get Mike to flee for his own good. But she was overcompensating due to her shame. She would not have lied to Mike for an extended period of time with two lovers. Woukd still have killed the marriage. But she would have come to loathe herself, confessed, get divorced and woukd have not stayed with James out if guilt. Guilt and shame drive a lot of her character. She thought her wall was invulnerable and unassailable. It was not, especially to a professional seducer hired by Peter. Can't overlook that essential fact. Forgiveness takes time and effort, but they had suffered a coordinated attack on their marriage. That is forgivable. Still the falling in love part is really hurtful and would take more than one session with Gayle to overcome. We are all vulnerable, hence we should always be vigilant. She wad not ready for the seduction game of James. The best players let you think it is all your idea. The New Jennifer is 100% trustworthy based on her self-excorciating confessions (multiple). Of anything Mike is more vulnerable now. Reconciliation is hard. My only quibble is it would take a lot more time. But seemed warranted here. This should be rated higher given the intense psychological content. Bit long though.
Anonymousover 1 year agoFound myself skimming over in a number of areas. Still got the gist of the story, found it long. 4****
bobareenoalmost 2 years agoI enjoyed this. It actually had sufficient wattage to light up some emotions in this reader. Not an easy task. 5 Stars throughout. Added to my lengthy list of favorites.
