Jen had always prided herself on keeping her life neatly compartmentalized. Mornings were for packing lunches for her two kids, evenings for helping with homework and curling up with her husband, Mark, on the couch to binge-watch whatever procedural drama was trending. Their marriage, pushing twelve years now, felt like a well-oiled machine—reliable, affectionate, the kind of partnership that didn't demand fireworks but delivered steady warmth. Work had been the wildcard lately; she'd switched offices three months back, landing in a sleek corporate hub on the edge of town where the coffee was strong and the team was tight-knit. That's where Jack came in.
He was the unofficial ringleader of the after-hours crew, the guy with the easy grin and the knack for turning mundane spreadsheets into inside jokes. Jen fit right in, laughing harder than she had in years during their first group outing to the pool hall. The place was a dive, all scuffed felt tables and neon beer signs buzzing like angry hornets, but the energy was electric. She sank shots with surprising accuracy, fueled by cheap whiskey sours, while Jack leaned against the rail, chalking his cue and tossing her tips that were half-flirt, half-genuine advice. By closing time, the group had scattered, leaving Jen and Jack to wander out to the parking lot under a sky dotted with stars that seemed unusually sharp.
"Hey, you drive a Prius?" Jack asked, nodding at her silver hatchback. His truck loomed nearby, all chrome and rumble.
"Yeah, it's practical. Kids, carpool, you know." Jen fished her keys from her purse, the cool night air sobering her up just enough to register how close he stood.
He pulled out his phone. "Gimme your number. We should grab a beer sometime, without the peanut gallery."
She hesitated for a split second, then rattled off the digits. What harm in it? Networking, right? But as she slid into her car, her phone buzzed almost immediately—a thumbs-up emoji and a "Safe drive, pool shark." She smiled, tucking it away.
The texts started innocently enough. Memes about office politics, complaints about the boss's endless meetings. Jack had a dry wit that cut through the monotony, and Jen found herself checking her phone during family dinners, stifling laughs. Mark noticed her distraction once or twice but chalked it up to work stress. "New job jitters," he'd say, rubbing her shoulders. She leaned into it, guilty but not enough to stop.
A week in, the tone shifted. Jack sent a photo of his lunch—some massive burger dripping with cheese—and captioned it, "This thing's got more girth than most guys I know." Jen snorted, typing back, "Subtle." He replied instantly: "Hey, facts are facts. Ever dated a guy who could back up the hype?"
Her cheeks heated as she read it in the grocery store aisle, surrounded by cans of soup. She typed and deleted a few responses before settling on, "None of my business." But it was, a little. Mark was... adequate. Loving, sure, but their sex life had settled into a routine, lights off, missionary, done in ten. Jack's brags kept coming, casual drops in their chats: "Gym's paying off. Legs of steel, and the rest? Let's just say pants get tight." Jen blushed every time, her mind wandering to what "the rest" might look like. She told herself it was harmless fantasy, a spark in her otherwise steady flame.
The flirting escalated over drinks—virtual ones, at first. Late-night texts after the kids were asleep, Mark snoring beside her. Jack described a hookup from years back, painting it vivid: the way she'd gasped when he entered her, how he'd stretched her just right. "Size matters if you use it," he wrote. Jen's replies grew bolder, admitting she'd wondered about "upgrades" in bed. One night, buzzed on wine she'd snuck in the kitchen, she sent, "Show me what you're working with?" He did—a blurred tease, just enough outline to make her pulse race. She deleted it immediately after viewing, heart pounding, but the image lingered.
It built like pressure in a bottle, texts turning to calls. Jack's voice was low, teasing, pulling confessions from her she hadn't voiced even to herself. How Mark hadn't touched her like she craved in ages, how she missed feeling desired, filled. Jack listened, then countered with promises: "I'd have you screaming my name, Jen. Bet you've never had a dick like mine." She laughed it off, but the wetness between her legs said otherwise.
The invitation came on a Thursday, casual as their first text. "Pool rematch at my place? I got a table in the basement. Bring your A-game." Jen stared at the screen during her commute, fingers hovering. Mark was taking the kids to his parents' for the weekend—perfect alibi, or disastrous one. She typed yes before she could overthink it, nerves twisting in her gut like over-wound springs.
Saturday afternoon, she told Mark she had a work thing, a team-building whatever. He kissed her goodbye, oblivious. Jen drove to Jack's address, a modest ranch house on a quiet cul-de-sac, the kind with a basketball hoop out front and no nosy neighbors in sight. Her palms sweated on the wheel. What was she doing? Forty, married, kids waiting at home. But the throb in her core overruled it.
Jack answered the door in jeans and a faded tee, his broad shoulders filling the frame. "You made it. Come on in." The house smelled like fresh paint and coffee, lived-in but tidy. He led her through the living room—couch piled with remotes, TV paused on a game—to the basement stairs. "Pool first, or skip the pretense?"
She swallowed, forcing a grin. "Pool. I didn't drive here to lose on your turf."
The basement was a man-cave surprise: green felt table under recessed lights, mini-fridge humming in the corner, and a worn leather sectional against one wall. They racked up, the clack of balls echoing. Jack stood close as she bent over a shot, his hand brushing her hip. "Nice form." Electricity shot through her. She missed the pocket, laughing it off.
Two games in, beers cracked open, the air thickened. Jack sank the eight-ball and straightened, eyes locking on hers. "Your turn to lose something." He stepped closer, towering just enough to make her feel small, desired. Jen's breath hitched as his fingers traced her arm, then her jaw. "Tell me to stop."
She didn't. Instead, she leaned in, their lips meeting tentative at first, then hungry. Jack's mouth was firm, tasting of hops and want. His hands roamed, sliding under her blouse to cup her breasts through her bra. Jen gasped into the kiss, nipples hardening under his thumbs. "Fuck, Jack," she murmured, pulling back just enough to see his smirk.
"Been thinking about this since that parking lot." He tugged her blouse over her head, exposing the lacy bra she'd worn on impulse. His eyes raked over her—full curves, a softness from motherhood that Mark still loved, but Jack devoured like it was prime. He unhooked the clasp, letting it fall, and bent to take a nipple in his mouth, sucking hard enough to make her knees buckle.
Jen gripped his shoulders, moaning as he lavished attention on one breast, then the other. His tongue flicked, teeth grazing just shy of pain. Heat pooled low in her belly, soaking her panties. She fumbled with his shirt, yanking it off to reveal a chest dusted with hair, muscles honed from whatever gym ritual he bragged about. Her hands explored, nails scraping down to his belt.
Jack kicked off his shoes, then hers, backing her toward the couch. "Pants off," he growled, voice rough. Jen complied, shimmying out of her jeans, standing in just her thong. He paused, drinking her in. "Goddamn, you're hot." Then he was on her, lifting her onto the cushions, mouth trailing kisses down her stomach.
She watched, heart hammering, as he hooked fingers in her thong and peeled it down. Cool air hit her wetness, making her clench. Jack spread her thighs, settling between them. "Bet you've been wet for days." His breath ghosted her folds, and Jen whimpered, nodding. He didn't tease long—his tongue dove in, flat and broad, lapping from entrance to clit.
"Oh shit," Jen hissed, head falling back. Jack ate her like a man starved, lips sealing around her clit, sucking while two fingers pushed inside. She was slick, ready, and he curled them just right, hitting that spot that made stars burst behind her eyelids. Her hips bucked, grinding against his face. He hummed approval, the vibration sending shocks through her. "Jack... fuck, yes."
He worked her relentlessly, tongue circling, fingers thrusting. Jen's hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer. The coil tightened, her breaths coming in pants. "Don't stop—I'm close." He didn't, adding a third finger, stretching her. She shattered, crying out as orgasm ripped through, walls pulsing around him. Juices coated his chin, and he licked her clean, drawing out every aftershock until she trembled.
Panting, Jen pulled him up for a kiss, tasting herself on his lips. "Your turn." She shoved him back, kneeling between his legs. His jeans strained, the bulge promising all his boasts. She unzipped him slowly, freeing his cock. It sprang out, thick and veined, easily eight inches, curving slightly up. "Holy shit," she breathed, wrapping her hand around the base. It throbbed, hot and heavy.
Jack groaned as she stroked, thumbing the bead of pre-cum at the tip. "Suck it, Jen." She did, mouth watering. Leaning in, she took the head, tongue swirling. He was salty, musky, filling her mouth as she bobbed deeper. Her jaw stretched, but she loved it—the power, the way his hips jerked. She hollowed her cheeks, sucking hard, hand pumping what she couldn't swallow.
"Fuck, your mouth," Jack muttered, fingers in her hair, guiding without forcing. Jen hummed around him, the vibration making him curse. She fondled his balls, heavy and tight, then took him to the back of her throat, gagging slightly but pushing on. Spit trailed down her chin, messy and hot. He thrust shallowly, fucking her mouth, and she let him, eyes watering but locked on his.
"Stop—gonna come," he warned, but Jen didn't pull off. She wanted it, the proof of his desire. Jack tensed, groaning her name as he erupted, hot spurts hitting her tongue. She swallowed most, the rest dribbling out as she milked him dry. Pulling back, she licked her lips, smirking up at him. "Told you size matters."
He laughed, breathless, hauling her up. "Bedroom. Now." They stumbled upstairs, shedding the rest of their clothes in the hall. His room was simple—king bed, nightstand cluttered with books. Jack tossed her onto the mattress, following her down naked, cock already twitching back to life.
They kissed lazy at first, bodies aligning. Jen felt his hardness press against her thigh, ready again. "Condom?" she asked, practicality cutting through the haze.
"In the drawer." He grabbed one, rolling it on with practiced ease. Then he was over her, nudging her entrance. "You want this?"
"Yes," Jen breathed, legs wrapping his waist. He pushed in slow, inch by inch, stretching her fuller than Mark ever had. She gasped, nails digging into his back. "So big—fuck, Jack." He bottomed out, pausing to let her adjust, then started moving, deep and deliberate.
It was everything the texts promised. Jack fucked like he meant it, hips snapping, hitting angles that made her see white. Jen met every thrust, pussy clenching around him. Sweat slicked their skin, the bed creaking under them. He shifted, hooking her leg higher, pounding harder. "You feel so good—tight as hell."
"Harder," she demanded, chasing the build again. He obliged, one hand between them to rub her clit. The dual assault had her babbling, "Yes, right there—don't stop." Orgasm hit like a wave, pulling her under, and Jack followed seconds later, groaning as he came, filling the condom.
They collapsed, tangled and spent, breaths syncing. But Jen wasn't done. After catching their breath, she pushed him onto his back. "My turn to ride." Straddling him, she guided his cock—still hard, the stamina of youth or whatever—inside her bare this time, wait no, another condom snatched quick. She sank down, moaning at the depth. Jack's hands gripped her hips, thumbs circling her stretch marks like they were art.
Jen rode him slow at first, grinding, then faster, tits bouncing. He sat up, sucking a nipple, one hand sliding back to tease her ass. A finger circled the tight ring, pressing in gentle. "Ever done this?" he murmured.
"Not much," she admitted, but the intrusion added friction, pushing her higher. She came again, shuddering, and Jack flipped her onto all fours without pulling out.
From behind, he railed her, the new angle letting him slap her ass lightly. Jen pushed back, loving the fullness, the way his balls smacked her clit. "Fuck my pussy, Jack—hard." He did, relentless, until she squirted a little, soaking the sheets. Grunting, he pulled out, ripping off the condom. "Where?"
"Face," she said, turning. He stroked himself twice, then came, ropes of cum painting her cheeks, lips, dripping down her chin. Jen licked what she could, the salty warmth grounding her in the moment.
They showered after, soapy hands exploring more, but exhaustion won. Curled in his bed, Jen traced patterns on his chest. "This can't be a one-time thing."
Jack kissed her forehead. "Why would it? You're addictive."
Morning came too soon. Jen slipped out before dawn, driving home with a sore ache between her legs and a secret smile. Mark and the kids returned, life snapping back. But her phone buzzed later—a text from Jack: "Round two soon? Your shot." She replied yes, the thrill undimmed.
Weeks blurred into a rhythm. Stolen afternoons at his place, quickies in his truck after "late meetings." Jen felt alive, desired in ways she'd forgotten. Mark noticed her glow, attributing it to the new job. Guilt nipped at her, but so did the high—Jack's cock, his mouth, the way he made her come undone.
One evening, after a particularly wild session involving silk ties from his drawer—her wrists bound to the headboard, him teasing her with his tongue until she begged—Jen lay there, unbound now, and confessed. "I love my family. This... it's just heat."
Jack nodded, pulling her close. "No strings. Just us, when we want."
It worked, for months. Jen balanced it all, the wife, the mom, the lover. Until one night, post-orgasm haze, Jack murmured, "What if it was more?" She froze, then laughed it off. But the seed planted.
The turning point came unexpectedly. Mark surprised her with a weekend away, just them, rekindling their spark. In the hotel, candles flickering (cliché, but sweet), he touched her like they were newlyweds—slow, attentive. Jen responded, really responded, channeling the fire Jack had reignited. They fucked with a passion Mark called "magic," and she came twice, whispering his name.
Back home, she texted Jack: "Need to pause. Fixing what's mine." He understood, no drama. "Door's open when you're ready."
Jen poured into her marriage—date nights, sex that evolved, incorporating bits she'd learned: the way Jack ate her out, now Mark's new trick. The family thrived, her guilt faded into gratitude. Jack became a fond memory, the catalyst.
A year later, at the office holiday party, Jack caught her eye across the room. They chatted, easy as old friends. "You look happy," he said.
"I am." She smiled, no blush this time. As she left with Mark's arm around her, she felt complete—not torn, but whole. The affair had been a detour, one that led her back stronger. And damn, if it didn't make for one hell of a story she'd never tell.
