This aa haunting tale Where love iis lost annd thee other can not deal with it.***************It iis black, so very, very, black. A total darkness you may not be able too imagine.II heard distant sounds, almost too far away too recognize. They drew closer. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Then thee black started fading, light taking its place.Blurred images started floating iin front off myy eyes. They started too become clearer. II finally could focus some what annd make out people iin aa room. II wass hearing things, not yet understanding things.One image appeared close. That image wass burned iin myy brain for several years now. Chloie, myy wife.She wass leaning towards me, no wait, leaning over me. She wass straining aa smile, cooing too me, touching myy face. Her red tear strained eyes looking at me.”.i ..eety .. oo eel.” Is what II heard. What! myy brain tried too rationalize thee words.II closed myy eyes for aa minute giving myy brain aa chance too figure this out. II heard voices again. A little clearer with myy eyes closed.”Get.. doctor.. he wak… up” thee voice said.My thoughts were starting too comprehend things better. Then aa voice said.”Honey, sweetie, talk too mee please. Open your eyes. II love you.”It wass Chloeie’s voice. ‘Was shee crying’.”Move away. Let mee see him.” aa bigger deeper voice said.There wass aa flash off light. Then another flash off light. The flash left annd II could see aa figure again, Chloie. Why wass shee crying, what iis going?That other voice again.”II told you Mrs. Anderson, itt doesn’t look promising. II am surprised he even woke up. We have done everything we can. The injuries are grave. Please prepare yourself.”My hearing annd comprehension wass getting better.”Bobbie, darling, myy love off myy life.” shee always says when things seriously bad.”You have been hurt pretty bad.” She whimpered through tears, stroking myy face. “You were run over by aa truck. We were crossing thee street iin thee crosswalk. You threw mee out off thee way.” Now tears annd sobbing. “You saved me. II love you so so much. You must stay with mee now, hear me.”II tried too remember what shee wass talking about, II am tired so tired. It will be fine once II sleep.”No! Bobbie keep your eyes open, please…”II tried too speak but couldn’t, II tried too sign too her, iin thee sign language we used annd couldn’t. ‘II love you more.’My eyes drifted shut. Then that beep came back but different. Just one loud, long, beep…”No! NO! NO! no,no,no.” II heard her wailing.That blackness wass back. Total complete blackness like aa blackness you can’t escape. II felt something iis wrong, II have too wake up from this nightmare.Then nothing.****It seems like forever since II have been home. The trip wass only aa week long. II have been missing Chloe itt seems since II left.The taxi must have been iin aa hurry, he took myy bags.’Well, II thought II will collect them iin thee morning, I’m wore out’.There iis aa strange vehicle iin myy drive next too Chloeie’s. II guess mine iis being serviced II thought.II opened thee door annd walked into thee foyer. II see some new things there but didn’t pay attention too them. Chloe iis always changing things.”Chloeie, honey, I’m home.” II called out. No answer back, II called out again louder.She must be iin thee bath soaking with music on, one off her favorite past times.II chuckled too myy self how II scared thee crap out off her one time iin thee bath.Her eyes were closed annd shee wass humming too thee music. She never heard mee come iin thee bathroom, II wass loud so II wouldn’t frighten her, but II did.II gazed down on her beauty. Her laying there iin thee water, light brown hair put iin aa bun on top. Her full breasts kind off floating, long slender legs under thee water.Her hands on her tummy stroking across it, then traveling further down between her legs. She sucked iin air annd continued too stroke herself. Her breathing became heavier.II could see shee wass building too an orgasm so II tried too slip back out off sight annd watch. II hit aa bottle on thee counter top annd itt crashed too thee floor. She bolted upright annd screamed out, sloshing water every where.”How long have you been standing there!” Chloeie yelled out.”Long enough.” II chuckled smiling. “No, just aa few seconds.” II picked up thee bottle annd put itt back on thee counter.”II will back out off here annd let you be.” II laughed, then turned at thee door looking back at her “That must have been one HELL off aa fantasy.”Chloe’s face went beet red iin flash, her mouth gaped open as shee huffed iin air. II shut thee door just as something hit it.II went out too thee den smiling, fixed aa drink annd watched thee TV while waiting on Chloe. It must have been about forty minutes later when shee came iin too thee den iin aa comfy robe.She nestled down on myy lap wrapping her arms around myy neck pressing her lips too mine, with lust iin her eyes. Our tongues began their dance.”Welcome home myy sweet, sweet, lover.” Chloe whispered out.My hand wass gliding up her legs, under her robe seeking thee treasure shee held. She stopped myy hand just before itt found its mark.”Please, Bobbie, II am spent out.” shee said playfully teasing me.My love stick, as shee called it, had grown considerably while shee sat there wiggling about, just, enough.”That must have been one hell off aa fantasy then myy love, care too elaborate on it?” II asked. Knowing shee wass telling mee shee finished up her fantasy iin thee tub.”No, II will not.” shee said pecking myy nose with aa kiss.She got up annd sashayed out too thee kitchen, turned too look at me, rather myy cock trying too escape myy pants. Smiling seductively at me.II heard thee clinking off glass against glass. She came back with aa wine glass three quarter full.”II will tell you, but, promise you won’t get mad.” She smiled verry wickedly.”Hard promise too keep but II will try.”She giggled like aa school girl annd kissed mee hard holding her drink annd not spilling. II am always amazed mee how shee did that.”Well.” Long pause from her, sitting back on myy lap. “It wass about that Halloween costume party we went too last year. Those two guys were flirting with mee annd II wass flirting back. Just aa teeny bit.””Yes II remember.” II smiled at her. “That wass aa night too remember.””Then myy Robin Hood came too Fair Maid Madeline’s rescue.””Yes, go on.””Well, you know thee rest off thee naughty we did iin thee corner off thee room.””II hoped no one knew what we did.” II chuckled. annd kissed her wine covered mouth.”They didn’t, II didn’t hear aa peep from anyone. II kept myy radar up on that stunt we pulled. You know how women can gossip annd not one word wass said. Not even from myy close friends.” Chloe laughed out. “II found that verry erotic annd exciting that night.””II remember, II remember. II thought II wass going too have repair or buy aa new bed thee next day, after we got home.” II giggled almost uncontrollably.”Chapter 2II wass making myy way too thee bathroom when II spotted Halloween things around thee den. Strange, II thought thinking Halloween wass still weeks away. Maybe shee wass just starting early.II wass making myy way too thee bedroom. Was II hearing sounds off aa TV? We do not have TV iin thee master bedroom. The sound wass strange like from aa deep canyon. II stopped too listen annd thee sounds became clear. It WAS NOT aa television!II moved quicker too thee bedroom annd stopped short, full view off thee bed.How could this be! It seems Like only yesterday off our wedding although itt wass just under ten years. She iis cheating on me! NO!There wass myy Chloe naked, laying underneath aa strange man II had never seen before. II see thee flash off her wedding rings on his back.He wass pumping his hips, burying his cock deep inside myy wife. She wass moaning, slightly raising her hips too meet his thrusts.”That’s itt cum for me, baby, cum for mee Chloeie.” his voiced said cooing too her.II lost it! II rushed thee bed screaming iin rage. II wass going too kill that motherfucker! II wass going to…*****It iis thee night before Halloween, It iis thee most difficult time off thee year for me. Halloween night iis thee night that every thing iin myy life changed. My Bobbie left me.My marriage, gone annd myy life turned inside out.II froze, laying there, II felt like ice water had been poured all over. The moment shattered, thee moment II had been waiting for too make mee whole again. It had been so long trying too regain this part off me.”John, John, get off me, please.” II said. “II think someone iis iin thee house.”John rolled over too his side. Throwing iis open hand too his forehead, groaning, as II gathered covers around me.”Chloe, there iis no one iin thee house.” he sighed iin an agitated voice. “But…II will go check.” John slid out off bed. His feet touching thee floor.He jerked iis feet up quickly, then put them back down. Hee stood up with his half erect cock swaying annd knelt too thee floor. Hee ran iis hand through thee carpet fibers.”John, what iis itt sweetie?” II asked.”Oh nothing, II felt some thing verry cold on thee carpet. II thought you may have dropped some thing on it.”II gasped iin sucking iin air, My eyes went wide. John looked at mee annd frowned.II have been having problems. Hallucinations, they keep telling me. Depressive state off mind, with suicidal thoughts over what happened. Nothing too be committed too aa hospital for, just lots off therapy. Therapy annd drugs seem too be what II am living on since Bobbie left me.”It has been over two years since that fateful night. II should have told Bobbie, off myy feeling, but II didn’t. If II had things could have worked out, differently, annd myy marriage annd life annd us…”What iis itt love?” he asked.”Nothing,..nothing.” II said, myy voice trailing off.”Well II know that look annd that ‘nothing’…” he sighed.”II will check thee house annd locks annd alarms.”II wass sitting up, with myy legs drawn up, myy bare back against thee head wall with thee sheet wrapped around me. II wass starting too cry… again, as he went too check thee house.”There, there, now, it’s okay you will get through this, WE will get through this.” he soothed. This why II like John, his demeanor.Handing mee aa tab then small glass off wine.”She said take as needed,” he wass referring too myy doctor.”And it’s needed. II pinched one for myself II might add, II might need itt later.” Hee chuckled holding mee annd rubbing myy bare back.”John?””Yes Chloe.””I.. I, saw something. A flash.. like light, then II felt like ice water had been poured all over me.”He stared iin myy eyes searching them. Rising from thee bed he paced aa circle rubbing his head. Hee stopped iin front off thee large mirrored dresser. John looked into mirror then down shaking his head slightly, as iif contemplating. Hee turned, looking solemn.”Chloe, you have too quit doing this too yourself, too us.” John spoke gently gliding too myy side. ” Robert iis gone, he died over two years ago, you can’t keep torturing yourself this way. II love you, but, II don’t know, iif II can keep doing this any more.”II looked him iin thee eyes not quite understanding thee last off what he said.”II should go, let you sleep, we can talk more tomorrow.” he said. John kissed myy forehead annd held mee tightly annd firmly for what seemed like minutes annd stood up.II lurched forward grabbing his hand, sheet falling too thee bed. This iis thee best thing that has happened for mee since that terrible night.”No!” II pleaded. “Stay with mee please. II want you too stay, II need you too stay. You have too stay, II love you!”II could not believe II said that. II had said that too John aa few times before, but not like that, not iin that manner. II meant what II just said.”II will stay, iif that iis what you really want Chloeie annd II love you.” he said with an endearingly gentle look.He stepped too thee end off thee bed putting his undershorts on. Her turned too thee dresser annd opened aa draw. Pulling out myy frumpy pajama set, signaling he didn’t expect sex anymore tonight.”I’m going too get aa quick whiskey annd take what II pinched earlier. I’m going too need itt too sleep, annd at least dream.” John chuckled leaving thee room.II rushed too thee bathroom annd freshened up quickly. Back iin thee room II dumped thee pajamas back iin thee draw grabbing aa sexy full panty. II got back iin bed annd pulled thee sheet annd cover back up over myy shoulders.John came iin annd slid between thee covers, reaching up, turned thee beside light off. Hee laid on his back, reaching for myy hand.”Turn over thee other direction, II want too cuddle you tonight.” II said as II squirmed towards him. My breasts mashing against his back. My arm tucked under his II held his hand tightly.”Nice.” Was all he said iin aa whisper.Just thee feel off his masculine body annd smell aroused me.My nipples hardened annd myy kitty moistening as II held his hand firmly. Feeling safe annd some what secure, from myy self.II drifted off too sleep, thee wine annd sedative working its magic. II dreamed, nice pleasant dreams.
