Sue Storm Admits To Herself She's Having An Affair

The Invisible Woman stared at herself in the mirror. Slowly, carefully, her body faded from view, leaving only the makeup visible. She stared for a moment at the mask thus formed, and reached for the pad. This was the easiest way to remove her makeup. Yet it felt also like a metaphor for the situation she was in.

The mask she presented to the outside world. The illusion of the faithful wife, the mother, the heroine. Yet that same woman had just used her powers to break into a building and have her pussy eaten out by her psychiatrist. Something that would have appalled anyone who knew her. Or thought that they knew her. They would never conceive of Sue Storm as someone who would step out on her marriage, who would break the law, who would have an affair with another woman.

Which is what it was. Sue had no illusions about that. With deft hands, she wiped the makeup away from her invisible skin. Reed and the rest of the Fantastic Four would think she was being mind-controlled. The truth was more complicated. Over the last few weeks, Sue had felt that strange attraction to Karla. An attraction that had been catalyzed by their BDSM play. By the wicked imagination that had Sue do such perverted things.

Maybe it's a midlife crisis, Sue thought to herself, as she wiped the mask away. Or maybe I was always a secret slut, just waiting for the right moment. It's not that I don't love Reed. I do. I don't want to destroy our marriage. But...but Karla is sexy. Enticing. Exciting. In a way that I haven't been excited for a long time.

The last bit of makeup vanished. Sue turned her head, to make sure she wasn't missing any, but as far as the mirror was concerned, there was nothing there.

Sue Storm sighed and stood up. She peeled off her clothes—not for the first time today—and let her body fade back into view. There were the breasts, a little heavier and more veiny than they had been when she was a young woman at university, the nipples dark and swollen from breastfeeding. There were pale white stretch-marks on her abdomen. The trimmed blonde pubic hair was a triangle above labia that were darker than those long-ago virgin days too.

Karla hadn't complained. Yet Sue wondered what her lover saw in her that elicited her arousal—and wondered too what it was about Karla that so attracted Sue. Certainly, Dr. Stone was tall, fit, well-proportioned. But really, it was her personality that attracted Sue. The dynamic between them, the confident dominance, the clear communication, the forwardness with which she expressed her desires.

Sue bit her lip. She had to know how Karla felt about her. Whether this was mutual, or just a lesbian fling. And Sue knew too, she had to tell Reed. It wasn't okay to have sex with someone else and not tell him. For health reasons, if nothing else. There was always the risk of disease.

No, Sue Storm decided. I need to confess. I need to address this with my loved ones—both of them. The only question is, who do I tell first?
