It Was a Beautiful Affair

For years he'd loved her and believed it was a beautiful affair, for on some nights, he'd slip away and knew she always would be there. They'd meet at restaurants or bars, but when he traveled out of state, he'd take her to a nice hotel. Once in the room, he could not wait! With hands on skin so glassy smooth, he'd hold her long into the night. So sweet she was upon his mouth! It felt so good; it felt so right! Beside her he would fall to sleep. Next day was business, but he felt so happy knowing that at night, his stress and worries all would melt. Yes, through the night, the longer that beside his lover he would lay, euphoria was his because he felt the whole world fade away. His love for her was deepening so much, his wife became aware of changes in him. He'd just say "There's no one else but you. I swear!" At home he'd lie in bed and think of his sweet love but had to be deceptive, sneaking out because church-goers were his wife and he. One night, too late he stayed with her. He drove with her in his corvette. Stopped by a cop, he had to live a night he never can forget, They called his wife, and that was worse than paying the ungodly fine. His wife put him in therapy to end his tryst with sweet Red Wine! July 1, 2016 for the "It Was a Beautiful Affair" contest of Lewis Raynes
