Murder On The Mainline - S01 E18

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

After supper and much later that night, Mike anxiously waits for Marlene to finish putting the kids to bed. It's after nine and he paces then goes up to help tuck them in. They come back down to the kitchen and Marlene gets her book. Mike goes to the front window and stands back in shadow to peer up the street. He can't find any surveillance people in sight, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

Around eleven Marlene says, "I'm turning in. Please try not to wake me when you come up."

"Good night, dear." Mike goes to the kitchen window and checks. Jeff's porch light is still on. He turns out the lights throughout the house and sits down in the gloom by the table in the kitchen. He watches Jeff's light and thinks about Nina. He's beginning to have some doubts about the swap when he starts and realizes the light has gone out. He gives them about ten minutes then goes to the front door and turns out his porch light. Glancing at his watch, he goes upstairs to check on Marlene. He finds her sound asleep. He smiles and goes back down to the kitchen. He fidgets and waits, glancing at his watch. Finally he goes down to the side door and waits there. He looks at his watch again. Then a shadow catches his eye and he realizes that Jeff is standing just outside the door in a dark robe and slippers.

He steps outside and they whisper to each other.

"Nina's asleep. Are you sure you want to do this? She may not be as happy to see you as you think she will. I think we should have told her."

"Let me worry about that. I've set the alarm for five. It’s right by the bedside. Marlene's asleep, too. If the kids wake up, stay out of sight and let her handle them. I guess that's it. Did you leave your front door unlocked?"

"Yeah. I left the inside door open an inch or two. Nina has the alarm set for five. She likes to get up early to fix herself for work. See you in the morning."

Mike slips away down the drive and again surveys the street. No unusual vehicles. Good. He walks quietly to Jeff's front door and takes off his shoes. He steps inside and is surprised at how dark it is. As his eyes get used to the gloom he moves to the couch and strips off his clothes.

Next he goes to the bathroom, no longer worried about a little noise. He steps out of the door and walks boldly into the master bedroom. There she is on the far side of the waterbed. His heart races as he pulls back the covers and sits then lies on the bed. He listens to her even breathing and rolls closer to her. He likes the feel of the rolling motion of the bed as he lies near her. Gently he lays a hand on her hip and finds flannelette pajamas. He rolls a bit closer against her and slides his arm down around her waist. She murmurs in her sleep and snuggles back against him. He feels a throbbing urgency in his loins and rubs her pelvis through the cloth with the flat of his hand.

She gives a little gasp and grabs his hand. Half awake she says, "How dare you? Get over on your own side of the bed and go to sleep."

Mike rolls her towards himself and when she's flat, kisses her as his hands seek her breasts. She breaks away and says, "Oh, if you insist. Let's get it over with. I have to get up early, you know." She peels her bottoms off and reaches for him. "You took off your pajamas already. You were pretty sure of yourself, weren't you? For two cents I'd put mine back on and send you over to Marlene. That's where you want to be, isn't it?"

He starts to unbutton her top when she says, "Don't fool around now. Stick it in here and blow your load. I told you I have to get some sleep."

With her top open, Mike brings her firmly against his chest and kisses her. She seems surprised but slowly she melts in his arms as he kisses her nose, her ears, her neck and finally her breasts. As he nibbles on one breast then takes the whole areola into his mouth to gently suck and tease the nipple with his tongue and teeth, he hears her first soft moan. "Oh Jeff. Marlene has taught you some new tricks. Do that some more."

Before he enters her she's panting and he can't keep up the charade any longer. He whispers, "My itty bitty pretty one, I need you like never before."

"Mike? Mike! MIKE!!! But how? Oh God, who cares! Take me, I'm all yours!"

They only sleep for about an hour when the alarm goes off. Sleepily they kiss and Mike says he has to leave. Jeff will be back in a few minutes. More ardently she kisses him again and clings to him. "Stay until he gets here, please."

"All right, but I'll have to get dressed."

"No, I mean stay right here." She kisses him again and moves on top of him. When Jeff comes in he says, "What the hell? You two can't still be at it!"

Nina looks up at him, moving her hips and says, "Jeff! Is it five o clock already?" Mike just grins as Jeff goes fuming out to the kitchen. She giggles as she undulates on top of him.

When Mike gets home it’s just after six and Marlene is in a wonderful mood. She kisses him and says, "Your the best husband a wife could ever wish for. He was terrific and we went on for half the night. How can I ever thank you?"

"By letting me sleep with Nina again sometime, sometime real soon."

"Your really taken by that little mink, aren't you? Maybe you haven't been fooling around with other women as much as I thought."

"I don't know about you, but I'm worn out. I'm going to lay down." He crashes on the couch in the living room. Later he hears her getting the kids off to school but dozes off again.
