It was late, and the house was quiet. Emily lay in bed, her long side-parted hair splayed out on the pillow. She couldn’t sleep, her mind was too active, too restless. She slipped out of bed, wrapped herself in a robe, and padded downstairs.
In the living room, she found him, James, her husband’s best friend. He was visiting, and her husband was out of town. James looked up from his book, surprised to see her.
“Can’t sleep?” he asked, his voice low and soothing.
She shook her head, feeling a little embarrassed. “No, I guess not.”
He patted the couch next to him. “Well, come sit down. I’ll keep you company.”
She hesitated for a moment, then crossed the room and sat down, leaving a respectable distance between them. They talked for a while, about nothing in particular. She found herself relaxing, her eyelids growing heavy.
Without thinking, she leaned against him, her head resting on his shoulder. He stiffened for a moment, then relaxed. His arm came around her, pulling her closer. She could feel the heat of his body, the beat of his heart.
She looked up at him, their faces just inches apart. She could see the desire in his eyes, the want. She felt a thrill run through her, a sudden awareness of her own desire.
She leaned in, her lips meeting his in a soft, tentative kiss. He responded, his arms tightening around her, his tongue exploring her mouth. She moaned, feeling a surge of pleasure.
He pulled back, his breath coming in ragged gasps. “Emily, we can’t…”
She silenced him with another kiss, her hands reaching down to unbutton his shirt. She ran her fingers over his chest, feeling the muscles ripple under her touch.
He groaned, his hands reaching up to tangle in her hair. He pulled her closer, their bodies pressed together. She could feel his erection, hard and ready.
She broke the kiss, her lips trailing down his neck, nibbling on his earlobe. He shuddered, his hands reaching down to cup her breasts, his thumbs rubbing over her nipples.
She gasped, arching into his touch. She reached down, her hand finding his cock, stroking him through his pants. He moaned, his head falling back.
She undid his pants, her hand slipping inside, her fingers wrapping around his cock. She stroked him, her hand moving up and down, her thumb rubbing over the tip.
He groaned, his hands reaching down to pull her robe open. His eyes widened as he saw her naked body, her breasts full and firm, her nipples hard and erect.
He pulled her onto his lap, her legs straddling him. She guided him inside her, his cock filling her, stretching her. She moaned, her head falling back, her hair brushing against her back.
He started to move, his hips thrusting up, driving himself deeper into her. She matched his rhythm, her hips moving in time with his. She could feel herself getting closer, her pleasure building.
She leaned forward, her lips finding his again. They kissed, their tongues dancing as their bodies moved together. She could feel her orgasm building, her pleasure spiraling higher and higher.
With a cry, she came, her body shuddering, her muscles clenching around him. He followed her, his own orgasm crashing over him, his cock pulsing inside her.
They collapsed back onto the couch, their bodies slick with sweat, their breaths coming in ragged gasps. She looked at him, her eyes soft, her heart full.
“Thank you,” she whispered, her fingers tracing his jawline.
He smiled, his fingers tangled in her hair. “Anytime, Emily.”
They sat there for a while, their bodies entwined, their hearts beating as one. It was late, and the house was quiet. But for them, the night was just beginning.
