Pillow Talk part 2

You lie in your cold empty bed staring at the ceiling. Try as you might you cannot rationalize away or soothe the angry wound of jealousy festering inside of you. You tried so hard but what you had heard had cut you to the bone.

You were surprised to hear El come in not too long afterward. "Leave the lights off." You say. You didn't want her to see your tears.

"Oh! You're awake." She slides into her side of the bed and sidles up beside you. Snuggling against you. She lets out a long happy sigh. Probably satisfied from the world class fucking she just received. You don't move a muscle to return her embrace.

She senses it. "Are you okay babe? It was a crazy night. Wasn't it?" She says in her soft bedroom voice.

"Yeah, crazy." You snip.

You feel her stiffen a bit, she could read that tone of voice. "What's the matter Jesse?"

You swallow hard, tears flowing freely in the dark. "I heard you two talking. Just now in the guest room." You take a deep breath. "I know I'm being a silly silly man...but..."

"You heard that?" Elsie says, definitely surprised.

"Yeah, every word." You answer.

She hugs you tight. "Good. I'm glad."

You couldn't believe your ears. "You are?"

She kisses your chest. "Yes. It was the truth, every word. I'm glad you know. It's true and it's always been true. It always will be true too." She kisses you again.

An actual dagger sunk slowly into your heart would have literally hurt less. And it would have mercifully ended things, unlike this brutal blow.

You wanted to rant, rage, weep. Holding it together just barely you whisper. "Why didn't you tell me?"

She lets out a small giggle. "I have, you wonderful man. A thousand different times in a thousand different ways. You never figured it out?" She presses into you. "I love you so much my dear, but my goodness you can be oblivious sometimes. Anyways, I'm glad you know now, even if I did have to spell it out." She giggles again and kisses your chest once more. "I can't believe it took sex with our daughter for you to figure out what I really like. Men, you can be so clueless sometimes."

The tears flowed though at this point though you were more numb than anything. Elsie hadn't been satisfied with you for all these long years. According to her she kept sending you signals but you just kept missing them. Fuck, how could you be so blind? So stupid? All these years, all those nights of passion, had she faked it this whole time? Obviously yes.

She yawns. "We need to talk about our new arrangement with our daughter in the morning."

"Sure El." You mumble. She finally had a cock she liked, of course she'd want to talk about the new arrangement. You'd probably be cut off completely now. In a blank voice you say. "Penny sure is something, isn't she?"

"Something? She's unbelievable that kid! God!" El leans up and kisses your lips. "Listen, I am exhausted. Penny really took it out of me. We'll talk in the morning. I'm going to go to sleep...unless...unless you needed to talk some more." She yawns again.

You manage to say. "No...good night El."

She rolls over onto her pillow and sighs. "Good night my love."
