watched Stan and Denise climb the stairs. Stan turned to look at her and she blew him a kiss, smiling at him. They walked up the stairs out of sight and Anne sat back into her chair. \par \par Watching Stan kiss Denise had been hard, very hard. Anne had thought it out beforehand, considered that Stan and Denise would be kissing and much, much more \endash but as she\rquote d told them, actually }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 seeing}{\insrsid1664942 it was something else. \par \par Now they\rquote d be upstairs, undressing. Denise had those wonderful large breasts, things that Anne had lost men to since she was a teenager. Would it happen again? Had she made a dreadful mistake? \par \par For a moment Anne was prepared to get up and rush upstairs, to interrupt, to stop it \endash but then she relaxed. Stan loved her. She knew that, knew it with every fibre of her being. \lquote Don\rquote t I?\rquote she thought. \lquote He loves me. He really does, and the fact that he\rquote s with Denise, rutting with her, }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 fucking}{\insrsid1664942 her doesn\rquote t change that, does it?\rquote \par \par Anne actually felt annoyed with herself. Her thoughts were normally controlled, disciplined. Now they were running away from her. \par \par \lquote I don\rquote t really think like that,\rquote she told herself. \lquote Stan and Denise can }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 make love}{\insrsid1664942 and Stan can still love me. }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 Will}{\insrsid1664942 still love me. }{ \cs16\i\insrsid1664942 Does}{\insrsid1664942 still love me.\rquote \par \par \lquote Doesn\rquote t he?\rquote \par \par \lquote This anxiety is quite normal,\rquote she told herself. \'93Normal. Hah!\'94 she said aloud, and then was quiet, hoping she hadn\rquote t been heard upstairs. \lquote As if they\rquote ll be listening out for me!\rquote \par \par \'93Right,\'94 she said aloud, more quietly, \'93I can deal with this. Like I said, music, wine, book!\'94 \par \par She went to Stan\rquote s CD collection and browsed for a minute or two, then realized she was humming a tune. \'93Romeo and Juliet, huh! Okay, let\rquote s find the Dire Straits\'85\'94 she said to herself. \par \par It didn\rquote t take long, and soon Mark Knopfler\rquote s beautiful guitar began to play over Stan\rquote s sound system. Anne put it on \lquote repeat\rquote so she wouldn\rquote t have to get up again. She went to Stan\rquote s kitchen and found a bottle of Muscadet in the fridge. Approvingly, she opened it and carried it into the living room where she poured herself a large glassful. \lquote Better watch it, I have work tomorrow and I\rquote m starting to carry a load, \rquote she thought. \par \par She set the glass down on the coffee table and went to Stan\rquote s bookshelf. Sure enough, he had \lquote Friday\rquote too. She grinned to herself \endash she and Stan had wide and overlapping tastes, though she\rquote d never quite have the same feel for history that he had, and he\rquote d probably never quite want to read the same science journals that she did. \par \par \lquote Music, wine, book. Now I just need to relax enough\'85\rquote \par \par Actually, the wine she\rquote d drunk was more than sufficient to relax her. By the time she\rquote d had that glass of wine and started on another, Anne felt quite floaty. When Mark Knopfler began singing about \lquote Les Boys do Cabaret\rquote Anne was quite capable of singing softly with him, somewhat off-key and without really noticing. She cried a little as she read of Friday\rquote s troubles. By now Anne had stopped thinking about her man and his other love. \par \par That changed when she heard shuffling steps on the staircase. Anne pulled herself out of Heinlein and looked up. \par \par Stan was coming down the stairs in front of Denise. Both had obviously recently showered. Denise looked happy and content, Stan did too but his expression was also concerned as he looked over towards Anne. \par \par Anne smiled. She stood up, swayed a tiny bit and then moved towards them both as they reached the bottom of the stairs. \par \par Stan stood still when he got there, and Denise, coming up beside him, gave him a shove in Anne\rquote s direction. \'93Give her a kiss, you ninny!\'94 she told him and Stan obeyed, taking Anne in his arms. \par \par Anne closed her eyes, feeling him grasp her, smelling the sweet clean smell of his shower gel, then tasting his lips. A very slight taste told her that Stan had forgotten something, and for a moment Anne recoiled a tiny touch. Stan pull ed back himself in confusion but Anne recovered, pulling him to her lips, kissing him, tasting }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 her}{\insrsid1664942 . \par \par Several seconds and a century later Anne broke off the kiss and looked at Denise, who was watching with a smile on her face. \par \par \'93You took good care of our man then, Denise?\'94 she asked rhetorically, and Denise nodded enthusiastically. \par \par \'93Yes, and he\rquote s every bit as wonderful as I\rquote d dreamed,\'94 the shorter woman answered, \'93but you know that, Anne.\'94 Denise took Anne\rquote s hand and kissed her wrist. \'93Um. I had to remind S tan about a condom. You two ride bareback?\'94 she asked. \par \par \'93Oh, God. I\rquote m sorry, Denise, I never thought. Yes, we do \endash given our past history, or lack of it, we\rquote re safe, but I should have thought and explained \endash and so should you, Stan. Little Stan doing the thinking again?\'94 \par \par Stan looked sheepish, and Anne went on, \'93Given that we\rquote re going to be exclusive, we ought to get ourselves tested properly and then we can stop worrying about such things. What do you two think?\'94 \par \par \'93That\rquote s a good idea!\'94 Denise confirmed. \par \par Stan nodded as well, thoughtfully. \'93I really disliked those things back when Caron and I were engaged, which is why she went on The Pill back then. They\rquote ve not really improved much, either. I\rquote m really sorry, Denise, you shouldn\rquote t have had to think of that just then.\'94 Suddenly Stan looked stricken. He looked at Anne and stammered, \'93I-I-er-sorry, I didn\rquote t mean to say\'85\'94 \par \par \'93Stan, I }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 know}{\insrsid1664942 what you were doing, you }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 can}{\insrsid1664942 talk about it you know!\'94 Anne told him with exasperation in her voice. \'93Not very long ago we were s aying we had to talk about things. Well, sex and condoms and such is exactly one of those things we have to talk about!\'94 \par \par Anne sat down in the chair again, heavily. \'93Now, what are we doing about sleeping?\'94 \par \par Stan looked at Denise, who calmly looked back. \par \par \'93Don\rquote t look at me, Stan.

He had a little difficulty with the third, as it was half-hidden under the swell of her bosom, but he managed, and then lifted his head, twisting on the sofa, to see what he\rquote d uncovered. \par \par The white lacy bra had a front fastening. \'93So much more convenient!\'94 she told him with a smirk .

You can keep that up for a while, Stan!\'94 she told him, so he did, varying the pressure, moving on the sofa again to get his balance and using both hands now , one on each breast. Denise was smiling up at him, eyes half closed, body undulating a little now. She reached down and stroked his now very firm erection through his trousers, causing his own similar body movement. \'93I\rquote m sore down there, Stan, it\rquote s the examination today. We\rquote ll have to try something different!\'94 \par \par She reached down and grabbed her bag, pulling out a condom and a bottle of lubricant. \'93Have you ever tried anal?\'94 she asked him with a bright smile. \par \par Stan was a little taken aback by Denise\rquote s directness, but he recovered quickly. \'93No, I haven\rquote t,\'94 he replied, \'93but I always wanted to. Caron wouldn\rquote t, and it\rquote s never come up with Anne, not yet anyway.

It\rquote s been a long while for me, too, but I\rquote m sure we can both enjoy it!\'94 \par \par She quickly stripped off her shirt and removed her trousers. Stan hurriedly began to do the same, but he was almost mesmerised by the sight of Denise removing her panties. She stopped, with them halfway down her legs, bent over towards him, smiling widely. Stan smiled back and got rid of his own clothes in short order. \par \par Denise came to him, putting her arms around him and kissing, at first softly, but with increasing intensity. He reached behind her and traced the line of her backbone slowly up from her ass to midway up her back, scraping the back of his thumbnail. She arched her back and moaned into his mouth. He r tongue was like a swift snake, busily engaging with his. \par \par He felt one hand behind his neck, pulling him harder into the kiss. Then he felt the other, as she made space between their bodies and put a hand on his dick, stroking him slowly up from the root. She pulled back from the kiss and told him, \'93Let \rquote s go have a nice long shower, Stan. A nice, hot, }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 relaxing}{\insrsid1664942 shower!\'94 She took his hand and led him upstairs, but not before retrieving the lube and condom. \par \par Once in the bathroom, she turned on the shower and a djusted the temperature. Stan watched as she checked it, and then stepped inside, pulling him in. His teeth were bared against the heat as he reached for the soap and began lathering up her shoulders, then her back, gradually getting lower. He managed a s mile as she turned and kissed him, mashing her wet breasts against his chest hair, careless of the water in her face. \par \par She drew back and reached for the soap herself. Soon she was lathering him up all over his chest hair. \'93I think you could use shampoo here, Stan!\'94 she told him. He was indeed pretty hairy there. With a wicked gleam in her eye she delved lower, reaching his pubic hair, and finally took his jutting penis in her hands and began to wash it. \par \par Stan\rquote s hands were roaming over Denise\rquote s breasts, slipp ery with the soapy lather, sensuously moulding them in his hands, caressing the nipples, which were now firmly erect like his dick. He leaned forward and kissed her, lightly, barely touching her lips, then pulled away as she leant in towards him. \par \par \'93Tease!\'94 she accused, and slipped the hand that had been fondling his dick under to play with his balls. \par \par Stan spread the lather all over Denise\rquote s body, drawing her closer to him as he made }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 very}{\insrsid1664942 certain that the globes of her ass were clean. Then he sank to his k nees in the shower stall and washed her pussy, making sure that the whole area was washed and well massaged. Denise sighed, opening her legs, standing straight with her hands on Stan\rquote s shoulders, gently massaging them as he rinsed her off there. \par \par Stan wanted to move in and lick her, }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 taste}{\insrsid1664942 her, but Denise drew him up and said, \'93Rinse off first, then we can have some fun!\'94 So they did, and Stan took the nozzle off the wall and used it directly over Denise\rquote s pussy, causing groans and hip movements that told him he was doing something she liked. \par \par He hung the nozzle back on the wall and was about to turn off the water when Denise stopped him again, reaching forward and embracing him, kissing deeply. His spine tingled as he felt her body pressed against him, then he just }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 felt}{\insrsid1664942 and stopped thinking at all. \par \par Finally she reached behind him and turned off the shower. Still together, they stumbled into the bathroom itself. Stan grabbed a towel and began to dry Denise off, gently but firmly stimulating her with the soft c otton. He dried her shoulders, and her upper arms, then ran the towel down over her back, finally reaching her ass, which he dried }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 thoroughly}{\insrsid1664942 . Denise made appreciative noises, and when her turn came said, \'93 Come, Stan, let me dry }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 you}{\insrsid1664942 ,\'94 as she took the towel and made his skin tingle. \par \par Denise must have decided that Stan was dry enough, because she tossed the towel aside and pressed him against the wall. Her kiss was fire, Stan could now feel his erection turgid and firm against his belly, and knew that Denise must be able to feel it as well. He pulled her to him, his hands on her ass, kneading the firm flesh there, and Denise groaned, then whispered in his ear. \par \par \'93Stan, get me good and ready, and you\rquote ll get a treat\'85\'94 \par \par Stan groaned himself. He felt that he would go off far too soon! Controlling himself, he pushed Denise back towards the Ottoman in the corner of his bathroom, and, turning her, bent her over it. He sank to his knees behind her and began to stroke her already pink and glistening pussy lips. \par \par Denise g asped as Stan leant in and ran his tongue lightly up and then down in the creases between outer and inner lips. She moaned as Stan pulled those lips apart with two fingers, and teased her, just not quite playing directly with her clit, building her gradua lly. \par \par Stan took his time, concentrating on the task as a way to slow }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 himself}{\insrsid1664942 down. Using both hands, using the pads of his fingers and, just lightly, the nails as well sometimes, he stroked her building up the fires within her. Stan could tell she was very aroused, her lips were pink and puffy, her pussy wet, her scent enticing, almost overpowering. She felt wonderful on his tongue as he drilled into her, tasting the warm, succulent and spicy flavour, relishing the slight metallic aftertaste. \par \par \'93Stan, use a finger in my ass!\'94 Denise murmured, and he wet his index finger in her pussy thoroughly before placing it at her dark rosette, spreading the moisture. At a whim he bent forward and licked her there, drilling in with his tongue so that the first penetration wasn\rquote t with his finger at all. He could just make out Denise\rquote s appreciative hiss. \par \par Stan placed his finger once more at her most intimate entrance, and pushed, gently at first, then with more pressure until he entered her, just a single joint deep. He marvelled at her heat, at how tightly her rosebud held his finger. He\rquote d never be able to get his dick in there! \par \par But gradually he felt Denise relax, and his finger entered another joint deeper. \'93Use some lube, Stan, and add another one. You want to open me up a little before getting yourself in there,\'94 she told him, excitement in her voice. \par \par So Stan recovered the lube, opened it with a twist of thumb and finger and pumped. Denise went \'93Ooh!\'94 as the liquid landed on her ass, but Stan spread it around and carefully pushed first one, then a second finger inside. \'93 You need to push, Stan. Open me up!\'94 \par \par Stan did as he was bid. He didn\rquote t want to hurt Denise, and she obviously }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 wanted}{\insrsid1664942 him there, so he pushed, as gently as he could, to get both his fingers in deeply. Once there, Denise began to waggle her ass around a little. \'93Okay, love?\'94 he asked her, and her reply of \'93Yes!\'94 came with a little strain. He began to withdraw his fingers, but she said immediately, \'93No! Stan, no, work with me, keep it going. \'94 She reached underneath herself and began masturbating, playing with her clit after wetting it with the combination of the lube and her own juices. \par \par Stan could tell Denise was well and truly aroused now, and he withdrew the fingers of that hand to grasp his, fully erect, di ck. He reached for the condom, tore it open with his teeth and rolled the covering down over his rock-hard cock. He barely entered her pussy and stroked shallowly for a couple of minutes, building her up even more, while playing with her asshole again. Fi nally he withdrew, placed himself at her asshole, and }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 pushed}{\insrsid1664942 . \par \par At first he thought he\rquote d not be able to do it, but then he felt her muscle }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 give}{\insrsid1664942 , and the head of his dick was inside her ass. \'93Are you okay, Denise?\'94 he asked again, and she said \'93Yes, Stan. Go slow, add lube, but }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 keep going!}{\insrsid1664942 \'94 \par \par He did. He pushed again, sliding slowly deeper inside Denise, adding more lube as he went. A memory came back to him, something he\rquote d read, \'93}{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 You can\rquote t use too much lube when going up the ass!\'94}{\insrsid1664942 \par \par So he added more lube, and pressed himself deeper, and then added more lube, continuing the cycle. Finally he was root-deep inside Denise\rquote s ass. Her ass was like a circular vice holding him in, with a fiery depth beyond. It was an amazing feeling, something he\rquote d never felt before, but something he knew he\rquote d want to feel again. \par \par He rested there for a minute, to give Denise the chance to get used to his dick deep in her ass. Again, he asked \'93Okay, love?\'94 \par \par \'93Yes, Stan. Ooh, I feel so }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 full}{\insrsid1664942 , so }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 stretched}{\insrsid1664942 . You can start if you want, my wonderful man \endash just go slow at first!\'94 \par \par So Stan slowly pulled out an inch or two, then equally slowly pushed back in. Denise groaned, sweat pooling in the small of her back, as Stan forced himself home again. After a short while though she told him to \'93Speed up , now Stan, and play with me, I need to come!\'94 \par \par Stan had been lost in his own sensations, but now he reached under his pumping cock and began to play with her pussy. He wasn\rquote t able to pay as much attention to her as he would normally have wanted to because the sensation of Denise\rquote s ass around his dick was almost overwhelming. He knew he would be coming soon though, so he tried hard to stroke her pussy with his fingers, gathering the moisture. In truth Denise was }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 wet}{\insrsid1664942 there, her juices dripping down to her clit, and Stan reached further and began to play with the secretive, sensitive organ. \par \par He thrust and played and played and thrust, and lost himself in the sensation again. He was dimly aware that Denise had replaced his fingers around her clit with her own, rubbing hard and fast. Before she could quite come to the boil he felt his own climax arrive, and he couldn\rquote t stop it! His cum exploded like lava deep inside Denise\rquote s ass. \par \par He slowly became aware that he was grunting in time with the thrusts he was making deep inside his love, who was making high pitched yelping noises of her own as her busy finger brought her to her own climax. \par \par Stan withdrew his softening penis, holding onto the condom. He quickly disposed of it and staggered to the washbasin. He washed h imself clean, then took a fresh flannel and returned to Denise, who was still quaking from the aftershocks of her own fulfilment. \par \par Gently he washed her, saying over and over, \'93I love you, thank you, I love you\'85\'94 Denise pulled him to her and kissed him, then sat up. \'93Thank }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 you}{\insrsid1664942 Stan. That was incredibly intense! I feel a bit shaky, to be honest, so now, can we go to bed, and sleep? I need cuddling, Stan\'85\'94 \par \par Stan was only too pleased to oblige. In bed a few minutes later, as they spooned together, he stroked her flank, still whispering sweet things to her, making sure she }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 knew}{\insrsid1664942 just how much he loved her. \par \par Denise was still shuddering a little, coming down from the sensation of Stan being deep inside her ass. Stan kept stroking her, softly calling her name and tel ling her that she was loved, that he loved her very much. Eventually her breathing became slow and even, and Stan finally was able to rest. He put his arm around this incredibly passionate woman who\rquote d just given him so much, and went to sleep. His last, slightly incongruous thought was \lquote I\rquote m going to }{\cs16\i\insrsid1664942 ache}{\insrsid1664942 in the morning \endash but God, it\rquote s been worth it!\rquote \par \par }\pard\plain \s17\qc \li0\ri0\sb100\sa100\sbauto1\saauto1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid1664942 \f36\fs24\cf9\lang2057\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp2057\langfenp1033 {\insrsid1664942 - - - - - - - - - - \par }\pard\plain \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid1664942 \f36\fs24\cf9\lang2057\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp2057\langfenp1033 {\insrsid1664942 \par \par }{\insrsid11292439\charrsid1664942 \par }}
