Short stories: The pool party incident

She knew what she was about to do was forbidden in more ways than one and she had been planning it for weeks. She couldn't help but wonder what the congregation at church would think or what her husband would think. Still her selfish desire chased away every fear from her mind.

It was a sweltering hot day when he arrived on at their doorstep. Her husband, the pastor, had just left. The young man was there to clean her pool to get ready for the party they had planned.

As he stood in her doorway she couldn't take her eyes of his sculpted abs and his baby smooth tan skin. She watched a drop of sweat bead up and roll down his muscular chest and over a tribal tattoo.

As he walked past her his hand brushed gently against her thigh. His gaze, his genuine smile and now physical contact was all telling her he wanted her too.

She began to move toward him when the phone rang. It was an abrupt distraction in her private fantasy. Her daughter was on the phone needing a ride home from the airport.
