~Separate Ways - Part 1~

JULY, 1975…

She knew the feelings she had for him were wrong and what was worse was she knew he was feeling the same way. It had started out as an innocent friendship between them because they both needed someone. Someone to talk to, someone to share with, someone who was there when their spouses were too busy with their own careers. Now, what had started out so simply was turning complicated, very complicated. And soon, she was going to have to say goodbye to either her husband or to the man she was falling in love with.

Samantha padded across the floor in her bare feet to answer the door. She opened it and her face lit up with a smile. "Hi."

"Hi Sammi." Peter answered with a huge smile f his own. "Cora is at a nurse's conference so I thought I'd come see you."

"I'm so glad you did." She took his arm and led him into the family room. "We need to talk." She said seriously.

"I know we do." They sat down on the couch. "Where's Mike?"

"He took the kids and is spending the week in Santa Fe. That's one of the things we need to talk about." She looked down at her hands in her lap. "Peter, we're moving to Texas. Mike bought a ranch."

"He did what?" Peter's mouth dropped open. "But what about the band? What about us?"

"He says the band will survive." She looked over at him, tears filling her eyes. "We first talked about moving years ago, you know, it was kind of a dream we both had. But now, we just don't seem to have the same dreams. I don't know if I can leave. I don't know if I can leave you."

"We're not just friends anymore, are we?" He reached out and cupped her face with his hand. "I mean, so far we've been able to keep things from crossing that line, but…"

"I know." She covered his hand with her own as his thumb gently stroked her cheek. "If we cross that line, we go from being two people who are innocently attracted to each other to two people who are cheating on their spouses."

"I don't want Cora or Mike to get hurt but I am very attracted to you." He moved closer to her, their lips almost touching. "I want you so bad it hurts."

"Oh, God." Her breath caught in her throat. "Peter, please kiss me."

"If I start, I won't be able to stop." He tried to back away but found he couldn't.

"I won't ask you to stop." Her eyes were dark with desire as she looked into his.

He said nothing more, but instead answered her as they shared their first kiss. It was soft and tender at first then grew hungry as their tongues entwined. He took her in his arms, holding her tightly against him, as they slid onto the floor together. His mouth nipped at her lips and then across her jaw. He breathed in her hair as she threw her head back giving him access to kiss and nibble her neck. The more they kissed and touched, the more urgent their need for each other became.

He unbuttoned her blouse and found she wore nothing underneath. His eyes grew dark with desire at the sight of her bare breasts. She slipped his tee shirt off over his head and tangled her fingers in his chest hair. His hands cupped her breasts as he gently pinched her nipples and then followed with his mouth, sucking and licking at them until they were rock hard.

She unbuttoned his jeans and slipped them off. Her eyes grew wide at the sight of him. She had, of course, heard the rumors of how big he was. "The rumors are true." She smiled, her mouth watering.

He blushed and then captured her mouth with his own. His hands slid off her slacks and he gently pushed her on her back. He gazed down at her naked body. "God, I want you, Sammi. You are so beautiful."

She arched opening herself up to him. "Take me, Peter. No matter what happens, I want you to make me yours tonight."

He pushed into her slowly, wanting to let her adjust to his size. But she wanted him NOW and wrapped her legs tightly around him, pulling him in deeper. They stayed still for a moment, their eyes locking. Holding her gaze, he slowly began stoking in and out of her. She matched his movement, drawing him further inside of her. They rocked harder and faster, clinging onto each other until they came together in a fierce blinding climax.

He saw the tears in her eyes and laid down next to her, gathering her into his arms. "Baby, I'm so sorry. Please don't cry." He gently kissed the top of her head. "This won't happen again."

"No, no, that's not why I'm crying." She sniffled, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him closer. "I want it to happen again, over and over." She looked up at him. "Peter, I'm falling in love with you. I don't expect you to return my feelings and I don't know what the future holds. But I will never regret what we just shared."

He stroked her face and kissed her softly on the lips. "I'm already in love with you." He whispered.
