TRAPPED 'IN THE SISTERS'

It was a brilliant Saturday morning and the sun was smiling kindly on mother earth. Its rays into the kitchen fell nicely on my chest. I enjoyed the sensation the warmth of the sun had on me. Now I know you’re wondering what I’m talking about, truth is, I had woken up really excited that morning and for the first time in months I remembered it was healthy to do exercises.

Amara my lovely wife had a training session to attend and had left the house as early as 6:30 am seeing that she had to be there by 7:30 am. If you live in Lagos, you’d understand that Saturdays may sometimes not be immune from the mad traffic.

I had felt the kiss on my cheeks as she said her good bye before she had hurriedly left the house, leaving me alone to help myself when I woke up.

I heard the shrill sound of the call bell. I wasn't expecting anyone and so was a bit surprised.

‘Who’s that?’ I called as I hurried to go get the door.

There was no response.

I opened the door and my mouth dropped in awe. Standing in front of me was Bella in all of her glory; I immediately remembered my chest was bare.

‘Hel-lo,’ I stammered, ‘what are you doing in Nigeria?’ I asked.

‘Is that how you welcome your sister in-law to your house?’ she replied, showing her perfect dentition as she smiled at me.

‘I’m sorry,’ I apologized, taking her luggage and opening the door wider, ‘please come in’.

‘And where’s my little sis?’ she asked me as she waltzed into the sitting room.

‘She out for her company training session,’ shutting the door as quietly as I could. ‘Am alone,’ I added.

‘Really?’ Bella asked, rolling her eyes at me in mocking fashion. ‘You’re sure you’re not hiding a guest in the room?’ she queried looking at me seductively.

‘No I’m not,’ I replied almost sheepishly.

Those eyes of hers confirmed to me that I was in big trouble.  Almost at once the thoughts of my London escapade came rushing back. I had promised myself that I would not let myself fall to any such temptations anymore but with a well cooked meal like Bella in front of me it immediately became clear why I had fallen the first time.

‘Who says you’re not hiding anyone, I’d have to verify your claims mister,’ she said as she walked into the lobby.

‘Feel free,’ I said walking behind and loving the smell of her perfume. ‘When did you arrive from London?’

She stopped abruptly, causing me to bump into her.

‘Sorry,’ I pleaded.

She turned around, staring at me straight in the eyes. ‘You don’t have to be, do you?’ she asked inching closer to me.

My throat immediately went dry as I retreaded backwards till I was caught up against the wall.

‘Three months have changed you from a lion to a kitten, strange,’ Bella said breathing straight at my face.

I felt the urge to grab her in my arms and eat her up, showing her that a lion always stays a lion but the thoughts in my head restrained me.

‘Bella please, we can’t do this,’ I muttered under my breath.

‘Do what?’ she asked winking at me, with a seductive smile playing around her lips.

Her right hand slipped down my chest, grabbing my crotch. The smile was still registered on her face.

‘I can’t do this,’ I protested, albeit weakly.

With her left hand circling around my neck she guided my lips towards hers, closing my mouth with sensations of ecstasy.

At that moment I lost all sense of reasoning as my instincts took over. I bit her lips softly as we let go of the kiss and ran my hands through her delicate curves.

‘I want you so much right now,’ she muttered into my ears as my hands navigated down her hips.

A thousand words of protest whizzed up in my brain but my tongue was too busy kissing the neck of this beautiful goddess. I scooped her up in my arms and made straight for the bedroom.

‘Hmm, the lion is back,’ Bella said, teasing me as I led her to the room.

My eyes searched her body and I could find was perfection.

Why would a husband starve a beautiful woman as this good sex? I asked myself as I laid Bella on the bed. I peeled off her clothes slowly, my eyes not straying off her body for a second.

‘I missed you the very moment you left the house,’ she muttered under her moans.

‘I missed you too,’ I replied as I filled my mouth with her nipples, stroking the pea shaped object as delicately as I could. She responded by arching her back and pushing towards me, the pace of her moaning slightly increased.

Slowly and like a man on a mission, I took my time, mesmerizing her with every touch of my hand and every feel of my tongue. As I slipped my fingers inside of her, I felt the familiar wetness of desire but I was determined to hold back my entrance till that perfect moment. Different country, different settings but the scenario looked very familiar. It was no déjà vu, but it sure did feel like one.

As I collapsed on her for the third time, I felt the familiar pangs of her fingers eating into the skin on my back. Pain has never felt so good.

‘If I’m not dead, I wonder why I’m in heaven,’ Bella said whispering into my ears.

I smiled at her as I drew her into my arms, my eyes closing up for the ‘little death’ as it was referred to.

‘Hello honey I’m home’.

Her voice was as clear as ever, even in my dreams.

‘Hello!’

The voice resonated in my head like it was real…’dreams could be so real sometimes you know,’ I said to myself in my sleep.

I cuddled closer to the soft skin I had wrapped up in my arms.

The sound of the freezer shutting was a sound I couldn't ignore as I snapped out of my sleep.

‘Honey…’

Like a scene from the reality show ‘CHEATERS’ it all made ‘mad sense’ to me.

I looked at the clock in the room and it was some thirty minutes past three…how could I have slept for three hours already?

I dashed out of the bed where the naked body of my sister-in-law slept peacefully till I ruffled her up.

‘Amara is back,’ I whispered as I slipped on my boxers.

Where’s my husband oh? Amara asked no one in particular singing the question to herself.

I dashed out of the room in time to meet her on the lobby to the room, my head exploded in a million bit as I felt it the rush of the disaster that was about to happen.

The scenes played out in my head in a million ways and each time it didn't end well. The secret was finally coming out today and our lives were going to be changed forever. I thought about the scandal, shame, pain and all the accompaniments of what such a revelation would cause.

I had to be a man and bear my cross; I consoled myself as I tried to play out one of the most unappealing scenes in my head.
