Sarah and Dan Ramp Things Up

“Honey, I’m home!” Dan called out as he dropped his bag by the front door. Seconds later his daughters ran up and hugged him. Since he didn’t have any lunch to eat, he worked through the lunch hour, managing to duck out and head home early.

“I’ve missed you guys.” Dan embraced his girls. He couldn’t get used to not seeing them every day. As such, once he finally held them, he really didn’t want to let them go.

“We missed you too, Mr. Chicago.” Sarah was leaning against the door frame to the kitchen. Her hair was pulled up in a bun, likely because she was busy cooking dinner. Her tight-fitting, white t-shirt with the plunging v-neck was tucked into her jeans.

Dan smiled up at her. “Get over here.”

She smiled back brightly and almost skipped across the floor before giving him a bear hug, sandwiching one of their daughters between them. “I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you, too.” He planted a long kiss on her lips.

“Hmmm…and I’ve missed that.” She whispered.

Sarah stood back and looked him over. “Well, I’ve got dinner on the stove, chicken cacciatore. The girls have some stuff they want to show you. I’ll call you when dinner is ready, boo.”

“Mmmm chicken cacciatore, my favorite,” Dan said.

“Why do you think I’m making it, Mister?” Sarah smiled playfully.

Dan let his daughters guide him over to the living room where they showed him all the things they had been up to in his absence. He was shown their schoolwork, new art they had worked on, and the games they’d been playing. Each one was talking over the other, excited to get as much of their father’s attention as possible.

Dinner arrived quickly and Dan savored every bite of his chicken cacciatore. As he was enthusiastically scarfing down mouthfuls of his favorite dish, he’d occasionally catch Sarah watching him with an amused smirk.

After dinner, he spent more time with Sarah and the kids before getting them ready for bed. Reading the girls several more story books than usual, he then tucked them in for the night, turned out their light and closed their bedroom door.

With their daughters safely sound asleep, he made his way back downstairs to the living room where Sarah was waiting for him with some red wine. Her glass was already half empty.

Taking the wine, he sat down next to her and sighed, “God, you don’t know how much I’ve missed this.”

She sipped her wine and looked at him. “Me too, baby. I’ve missed just sitting here talking with you so much.”

She stretched her legs over his lap and leaned back. “We’ll figure this all out soon, but for now we just need to get through it. As long as you keep crushing it with that new client, I’m sure things will turn around.”

“Ugh, yeah,” Dan replied.

“What is it?” Sarah asked.

Dan laid out that conversation he had earlier with his boss. She was glad that Walt was impressed with him and was now relying on him to strike it big with the Lincoln group, but she became worried as he also told her about mentoring Jesse and some of the issues he’d caused with their other clients.

“Well, that doesn’t sound great.” Sarah paused, mulling over the news. “Do you think things are okay for the company? Financially, I mean.”

“I’m not sure, but I am definitely going to find out.” He replied as he studied the wine in his glass.

“What about this Jesse guy? What’s he like? He better not mess up your project.” Sarah asked.

Dan took a long sip of wine in order to delay his answer. He hadn’t told Sarah about Jesse probably seeing her pictures -- he wasn’t even sure he wanted her to know. A part of him wanted to tell her, but it had been so many weeks now that it might appear as if he was keeping such an exposure a secret from her, which, in fact, he was. Having just gotten home after a relatively long time away, though, he didn’t want to risk any kind of fight. “I don’t know, really. I haven’t worked too closely with him. He kind of seems like a weasel, though.”

Dan noticed a look of concern on Sarah’s face. “A harmless weasel, who is apparently incompetent. I can handle it.”

“I have no doubts, my love.” Sarah smiled. “What else is new in Chicago? Things are pretty boring here.”

Dan sighed. “Nothing much. I really just go to work and then come back to the apartment each day. Rinse and repeat. The only highlights are when I get to talk to you on the phone.”

“Awww, that's sweet.” She leaned forward and planted a kiss on his lips and then sat back. “So nothing else new, then? No good restaurants or anything?”

This could be the opening Dan had been waiting for to work the conversation back to that night. “Nope, no new restaurants. There has been some weird stuff going on at the apartment, though…”

Sarah raised an eyebrow. “Weird stuff? Like what?”

“It’s Lester…” Dan trailed off, trying to gauge Sarah’s reaction.

To her credit, her face showed no emotions at hearing Lester’s name. Sipping her wine, she asked, “What weird thing is going on with him?”

“I don’t know. It just seems like ever since the last time you visited…” Dan paused to look at Sarah again. “He seems to have become more of a shitty roommate than before.”

“How so?” Sarah asked.

“Just annoying things, like leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen for days. He certainly hasn’t been helping clean or taking care of the place…and I’m pretty sure he ate my lunch today.” Dan breathed out in a huff.

“What a dick.” She eyed her wine glass, which was now getting dangerously empty.

Dan didn’t respond. He was momentarily stunned by Sarah saying the word dick in reference to Lester. Last time she called it a cock.

She finished her drink and then gestured to her empty wine glass, holding it out to Dan, “Could you top me up?”

“Of course.” Dan took her glass and made his way to the kitchen. As he refilled it, he tried to think of a subtle way to broach the topic of that night.

He made his way back to the living room and handed the refilled glass to his wife.

Sitting back down on the couch, Dan pondered aloud, “So…that last night in Chicago was a little crazy, huh?”

Real subtle, dumbass.

Sarah cocked an eyebrow and sat up. “Oh, whatever do you mean?”

His wife was clearly toying with him now. She had seen the angst on his face as Dan asked the question.

“You know damn well that I’m talking about. Lester and him watching us.”

Sarah smiled and eyed him while she took another slow sip of her wine. “It really was crazy. I still don’t know how it all happened.”

“Yeah, exactly.” Dan said. “I know we talked a bit that night and the next morning about it. I know that we’re good and that we both felt like we got carried away with how tense and taboo the situation was, but…”

“But?” Sarah asked pointedly. She was looking at him with that expression that Dan could never fully interpret. The look implied that Sarah would either give Dan everything he ever wanted, or tell him off and completely shut down the conversation.

“But,” Dan emphasized. “We’ve been going about the last few weeks like nothing ever happened. And I am fine with getting back to normal, I like normal – I like it a lot. I just wanted to, I don’t know – see where we both are.”

Silence hung in the room for a moment. Dan looked at Sarah, waiting to see her reaction while he did all he could to control the verbal diarrhea that was ready to explode from his mouth.

Sarah swirled her wine and took a small sniff. “How much do you think about it?”

“What?” Dan asked. Shit, this isn’t going as I expected.

“Over the past couple of weeks with things being normal, how many times have you thought about that night?” She continued to shift her position on the couch, now fully facing Dan. “I know it hasn’t been ideal with the distance between us. And I know that the longer you go without some kind of relief from me, the more you start thinking with other parts of your body.”

“I’m not going to lie, Sarah. I have thought about it quite a bit.” Dan admitted. “I can’t help it, replays of that night just pop into my head both when I’m at work or alone in the apartment. It was just such an intense experience.”

“Mmmhmm, it was pretty intense as far as things go. Do you regret it?” She asked.

“Yes and no, I guess. You know how we’ve talked about a situation kind of like that before, but it was just when we were playing around. Being there and actually seeing it in person…it's just a lot to process.” Dan sighed and took a large swig of his wine.

“Your…our fantasy about someone watching us. Seeing me exposed like that. Having someone else there with us in the room. Does thinking about it still turn you on?”

Dan paused, briefly trying to figure out the right answer to the question. He didn’t want to seem overly eager or too regretful, but he also didn’t know where he wanted this conversation to go; at least, that’s what he was trying to tell himself.

“Yeah. Yeah, it does.” Dan almost whispered. “And I sort of hate that it does. It's just so wrong and weird, but it's also exciting and unpredictable and feels like we’re playing with fire.”

He raised his eyes to look at her. “A part of me feels ashamed for even putting you in that situation, but another part loves that we did it. When I realize I’m getting turned on by it, I can’t stop beating myself up thinking about how not normal I am.”

“Oh, baby.” Sarah laughed and closed the distance between them, putting her hand on his forearm. “You are normal and your thoughts aren’t weird at all. Everyone has their own triggers and things that turn them on.”

She looked at him reassuringly, “And I’m a big girl, okay? You didn’t make me do anything. I could have gotten up off that couch and walked back into the bedroom anytime. You even asked if I wanted to and I told you no, remember?”

Dan looked down into his wine glass. “Yeah, but you did that because of my fantasy. Because of having another guy –”

“I did it for us, Dan. Not just for you, alright? If I didn’t like where things were heading, I would have stopped it. The idea of getting caught, I’ve always found that hot. Don’t feel guilty, I probably wanted it just as much as you did.” Sarah squeezed his arm.

The conversation was getting a little too somber for Dan’s liking. “You did look pretty damn hot riding me like that.”

“Did I, now?” She raised an eyebrow at him, “Which part of the night did you like the most?”

“When I asked if you wanted to go to the bedroom and you basically said no and just jumped me on the couch. That was pretty hot.”

The mischievous look had returned to Sarah’s face as she eyed Dan over the rim of her wine glass. “Oh it was, was it?”

“The way you talked to me, while he was there watching…” Dan felt the floodgates in his mind open and he couldn’t stop. “The way you talked to him was even more erotic. I have never seen your face when you orgasm while looking at someone else.”

Dan shifted in his seat and Sarah noticed.

Her free hand moved from Dan’s forearm to his crotch. She was not surprised to feel that Dan was already hard. “I see that just thinking about that night seems to have brought you to attention.”

Dan groaned. His cock liked how things were progressing, but he had wanted to ask her one last question. “It has. That night was crazy, but it was so hot, too. I just really want to know your thoughts about it being him who saw us. In all of our fantasies acting that scenario out, I never imagined it being someone like him.”

Sarah’s hand stopped moving over his crotch, but she left it there. She half smiled. “Me neither, to be honest. He’s not my type at all.”

Dan could sense there was something left unsaid. “But?”

She looked at him, realizing she had unintentionally left herself open. “But...maybe him being what he is made it even hotter for me. He isn’t good looking or really much good at anything it seems, so having someone like that watching us… Watching me…”

Sarah trailed off, but Dan stayed silent and waited, giving her a chance to compose her thoughts.

“We both work hard, right? We both have good careers, and we do what we are supposed to do. We do things by the book. We work out, we eat well and take care of ourselves, and I think we both enjoy each other's hard work in and out of the bedroom.”

She paused. “So having someone participate in our fantasy who isn’t like us in any of those ways, just… God, it sounds like I’m a huge bitch for saying this, Dan, but having someone who is beneath us or who isn’t on our level seeing me exposed like that must be a trigger of mine. For someone like that, who doesn’t take care of themselves at all and is completely undeserving, but still gets to experience something they aren’t supposed to… The idea of that just gets to me.”

Dan smiled. “No, you’re not a bitch. I get what you are saying, and I’ve always thought that idea was hot. It's like beauty and the beast, or the nerd and the cheerleader sort of thing, right?”

Sarah blushed, “Exactly. The cheerleader and the nerd or loser type, I’ve always liked that.”

“Oh really?” Dan raised an eyebrow. “Weren’t you a cheerleader in high school?”

“I was,” Sarah said. Dan opened his mouth to speak but before he could Sarah added, “And before you ask, no, there were never any losers or nerds I got with in high school. I would catch some of them looking at me, and yes, it did give me a little thrill knowing what they might be thinking but would never get.”

“Well, that is a role-play scenario I am going to have to add to our list.” He smiled.

She laughed and her hand slowly began to trace along the length of his still erect dick. “What about you, Dan? What do you think about it being Lester who was the one who saw us?”

Dan took a moment to appreciate Sarah’s touch. “I get all the reasons that you said, and I can see how it being someone like him added a little fuel to the fire. For me, it's much the same, but also somewhat different, especially after that night and over the past few weeks.”

She stared at him seductively. “Different how?”

Dan sighed. “Well, at first he was just this little, inconsequential kind of guy who kept to himself, but starting that night I became aware of how he looked at you and then the smug sort of way he would look at me. I don’t quite know how to describe it. And lately he has just been such a pain in the ass around the apartment. He is just getting on my nerves, he’s inconsiderate, he’s a crappy roommate who just doesn’t give a shit and –”

“And this guy who is pissing you off has watched us have sex and came all over my chest.”

Dan’s cock twitched at Sarah’s words. Sarah felt it and could feel Dan grow even harder.
“Fuck,” Dan groaned.

Sarah’s fingers continued to dance along the outline of Dan’s dick. “So my loving husband likes it when someone he considers beneath him, who doesn’t treat him with respect and is just an all-around shitty person gets to see his wife on display?”

“Ugh,” Dan hesitated. He didn’t want to admit it to himself, let alone Sarah. He had wanted this conversation, but it was becoming all too much, too quickly. “What about you?” He countered.

Dan leaned over and began planting kisses along Sarah’s neck, working his way up to her ear lobe. “You, almost fully naked like that, sitting on display in a strange place in front of a strange man. I think you liked it, maybe even a little too much.”

Sarah’s hand worked its way into Dan’s pants until it made skin-to-skin contact with his dick. “It was hot. What made it hotter was having you there with me, showing me off like that.”

She abruptly pulled away from him and downed the last few gulps of her wine. She reached over and started tugging on his pants, pulling them down to his calves. “What made it even hotter was seeing the look on your face.”

Her hands pulled down his boxers and she eyed his dick. She reached out and began to caress it. “Seeing the way you looked at me on display for him... God, you were so sexy. I love seeing you that way.”

She leaned forward and licked him, from the base of his shaft up to the head. “Now tell me, did you like Lester watching me?”

She slowed her strokes, waiting for him to answer. Dan was staring down at her, riled up beyond belief. She was playing chicken with him. He had to answer, or else she might deny him what comes next. “Yeah…I did.”

She knelt forward and took his dick into her mouth while her hand continued to stroke him. After a few seconds she backed off and looked up at him with an intense gaze. “Is that all you want, Dan? For Lester to just watch?”

Dan was stupefied. He knew what she meant, but he didn’t know how to respond. “What do you mean?”

A half smile spread across Sarah’s face. “I mean, did you like it when Lester took down my bra strap? God, the balls he must have to do that. You know his hand touched my skin.”

She took off her shirt to reveal a black lace bra. Slowly reaching up, she pulled down each strap and let them hang loosely over her arms. She looked just like she had that night. Her hand snaked its way back to his dick and began to slowly pump him again. “Why didn’t you stop him, Dan?”

“You had me pinned down, I couldn’t get up.” Dan lied.

“Maybe. Maybe.” She took a long look at the hard dick in her hand. “But you could have put the strap back up. You could have swatted him away.”

“I want to go upstairs with you soon, Dan, but I want to hear it first.” She slowly stopped stroking him and looked up into his eyes. That lust-filled face that turned her on so much was looking back at her. “Do you want Lester to touch me, Dan? Does that turn you on?”

Dan couldn’t comprehend how to respond. Is this some kind of trap? Why is she asking me this…

“Ugh, God.” Dan breathed as Sarah gently tightened her grip on his cock. “The thought of Lester touching you, it just drives me over the edge. I don’t want him to even be in the same room as you, but when he was there while you were exposed like that…fuck.”

Sarah raised an eyebrow at him and slowly let go of his cock.

Dan sat there stumped. Did I just fuck things up? Shit.

She stood up and straddled his lap. Dan’s hands found her thighs just as her lips found his ear. “Do you want it to happen again?”

Dan gulped.

“Do you want Lester to see us like that again?” she whispered huskily.

Conflicting emotions ran through Dan. His angst, anger, and jealousy mixed together with his overwhelming lust. “I want to see it again. I want to see you again.”

Sarah pushed off Dan’s chest and stood up, moving towards the stairs. She turned her head to see Dan still sitting there frozen on the couch. “I’m going to go upstairs and put on that special present you got me…”

“Wait 10 minutes and then come up.” She started to ascend the stairs.

“Oh and Dan, it won't be you I’m fucking tonight.” She smiled at him mischievously. “I think Lester might just creep his way in before you.”

With that, she disappeared out of sight leaving Dan alone in the dark living room. He went to the kitchen to top up his wine glass and check the time.
