What My Husband Saw from the Other Side

Javier was the one who said it first. We were lying in the darkness, his chest still heaving beneath the orange light filtering in from the street through the blinds. My head rested on his shoulder and I was tracing slow circles over his abdomen when he broke the silence with the only sentence that could bring us to an abrupt halt.

—I can’t stop thinking about Rubén.

I lifted my head and looked at him. Ever since that famous night in June, that name had been an unspoken taboo in our bed. We had agreed that it had been a one-time concession, an experiment that would not be repeated. And Rubén, it had to be acknowledged, had played his part: at every family dinner he behaved like the perfect brother-in-law. Not one inappropriate glance, not one attempt to be alone with me.

—He’s behaved very well lately —I murmured cautiously.

—For the rest of the world, yes —Javier replied, turning his head toward me—. But I know exactly where to look when I want to see him for real. I’ve seen the way he devours you with his eyes when he thinks no one is watching. That night didn’t cure him. It only taught him what you taste like.

I felt a lash of sensation in my stomach. My husband was right, of course. But what Javier didn’t know was that I didn’t need to imagine anything. I knew exactly what his brother did when he wasn’t looking. I knew how he had melted at my feet that afternoon in front of the computer, how he had trembled the morning of his vasectomy when I knelt beside him under the pretext of helping and unbuttoned his trousers, pulled his half-hard cock from his underwear, and took it all the way into my mouth until it swelled against my palate, taking advantage of Javier’s having stepped into the hallway. I had left him with his cock trembling, gleaming with saliva and one lick away from coming, and walked away as if nothing had happened. Those secrets weighed on me more heavily every day.

—What is it you want, Javier? —I asked slowly.

—I want to see him alone with you. Without me setting the limits. I want to see how he breaks through his own mask when he thinks he’s in no danger.

I did not answer immediately. But as he spoke, something took shape in my mind with a clarity that frightened me a little. If I agreed, if I designed the right setting, I would not only give Javier his fantasy. Rubén would end up saying aloud everything I had hidden from my husband. The confession would be his, not mine. Javier would hear the truth without my having to speak it.

It was the edge of a knife. But it was also my only clean way out.

I slid down beneath the sheets and caught his cock in my mouth before he had time to say anything else. It was half-soft, and I felt it grow against my tongue within seconds. I sucked it slowly, sliding my lips from tip to base, letting it slip all the way down my throat and drawing it out with a wet smack. I licked his balls, took them into my mouth one at a time, then moved back up to work the head with the tip of my tongue while squeezing the base with my fist. I kept him on the edge for endless minutes, savoring his desperation, feeling his thighs tense and the thick vein running beneath his foreskin begin to throb against my lower lip. When I finally let him come, he emptied between my teeth with a long, muffled groan, and I swallowed every spurt without taking my eyes from his. He lay there with his eyes closed and his arms limp at his sides. Then I stood, picked up my nightgown from the chair, and put it on slowly.

—I gave Rubén my word —I said calmly from the edge of the bed—. I’m not going to break my promise simply because my husband feels like playing spy.

I left him there, aroused and without an answer. The seed had already been planted.

***

Four days later, I waited until the silence of night had settled between us in the living room before throwing the first stone.

—Have you realized what date this Friday is? —I asked suddenly, my tone almost melancholy.

Javier looked up from his laptop and blinked. When he saw my smile, his face relaxed completely.

—Fifteen years since our first kiss.

—I want to celebrate it the way we deserve —I whispered, moving closer until I was straddling his thighs and circling his neck with my arms—. I’ve rented a beautiful apartment on the coast for the weekend. Quiet, lovely, just for the two of us.

He gave me a chaste, gentle kiss on the lips.

—That sounds perfect.

—It is —I purred, adding a drop of sweet poison to my tone—. Especially because the apartment has an architectural feature you’re going to love. The side wall of the living room isn’t brick. It’s a spy mirror. A huge one-way pane of glass hiding a small room behind it.

Javier’s hands stopped dead on my hips. His romantic smile froze as his mind processed the collision between anniversary nostalgia and the perversity of what I had just placed on the table. His pupils dilated.

—You’ll arrive first —I continued, stroking the back of his neck with my fingertips—. You’ll lock yourself in that room in the dark. And from there you’ll watch me prepare dinner. You’ll see me open the wine. And you’ll see your brother and me.

Javier was speechless. The silence lasted several seconds. Then, in the voice of someone who has been struck and does not know whether to fall or say thank you:

—Are you serious?

I nodded slowly without taking my eyes from his, then slipped from his lap to pick up the phone from the table. I dialed Rubén’s number with the speaker on and left it on the glass, in plain sight of us both. Javier leaned forward, elbows on his knees, devouring the phone with his eyes.

On the third ring, he answered.

—Sara? —his deep, calm voice resonated through the living room.

I transformed my expression at once. I sounded overwhelmed, nervous, almost on the verge of collapse.

—Rubén, please tell me you have some free time tomorrow afternoon. I need you to save my life. I wanted to surprise Javier for our anniversary: I’ve rented an apartment on the coast for the weekend, but the friend who was going to help me prepare everything just called with a family emergency and left me stranded.

—Oh... I’m so sorry —he said.

—I’m desperate, Rubén. I can’t get everything in my head set up in time on my own. I swear I wouldn’t call if I weren’t completely overwhelmed. I don’t have anyone else to ask without your brother finding out and the surprise being ruined.

There were a couple of seconds of silence on the other end. Then:

—Don’t worry, Sara. Of course I’ll help. Tell me what time and send me the location by message. I’ll be there.

I thanked him with such genuine warmth that even I believed it. I ended the call. The final beep echoed through the living room. I looked up at Javier. His eyes were bright, his breathing completely out of control, and a confused smile curved his lips.

The bait was set. Rubén had swallowed the hook all the way down.

***

I reached the apartment before either of them. It was a modern, open-plan studio: a kitchen bordered by a white quartz counter, a glass table in the center, and the bed at the far end beside a window opening onto a terrace. And directly opposite the bathroom door, covering the side wall from edge to edge, floor to ceiling, the mirror.

I found the concealed groove in the wooden frame the owner had indicated in the instructions, pressed the latch, and pulled gently. The heavy panel slid along a silent rail, revealing the adjoining dark room. Javier was already there, dressed entirely in black, standing in the gloom as if instinct had dictated the perfect camouflage for blending into the shadows.

As soon as I opened it, he seized me by the waist and pulled me inside. Our lips collided with electric urgency, like two teenagers about to do something terrible, fear throbbing in their throats in case they were caught.

I drew away from him by barely an inch, resting my hands on his chest.

—I hope you were careful coming in —I whispered—. I hope you didn’t turn on any main lights or leave anything out of place. You know what your brother is like; he notices everything.

—Relax —he replied hoarsely, stroking my jaw—. The scene is immaculate. Just you and him.

—Rubén is about to arrive —I warned him, hardening my tone—. Whatever happens out there, whatever you hear... don’t even think of opening this panel under any circumstances. Not a single sound. Understood?

The smile that appeared on his face in the darkness was the most eloquent answer he could have given me.

I stepped back into the lighted apartment and pulled the mirror frame until it fitted into place with a faint metallic click. Seeing my own reflection, sharp and perfect, knowing with absolute certainty that my husband’s eyes were examining me from the other side just inches from my face, gave me an intoxicating vertigo I had not expected. I felt the physical weight of his gaze on my skin.

I went to the kitchen. I turned the extractor fan to its lowest setting and put the pan on to heat. I had bought tenderloin on the way, along with ingredients for a red-wine reduction. The sound of meat sizzling against hot oil began to fill the apartment, giving it the warm, innocent domesticity I needed as a trap.

I dried my hands on a cloth just as the doorbell broke the silence.

I opened the door. Rubén was wearing dark jeans and a shirt rolled to the elbows, looking tired, like someone coming straight from his own workday to lend a hand.

—You made it! —I exclaimed, stepping aside to let him in with a relieved smile—. You have no idea how glad I am to see you.

—That’s what we’re here for —he replied, taking in the apartment—. Hey, this place is great, Sara. Javier is going to be stunned.

I pointed out the paper bag of warm string lights resting on the dining table and asked him to hang them across the terrace window and above the headboard to give the room an intimate touch. I poured him a glass of the wine I had opened. For the next twenty minutes, the apartment filled with such pure domesticity that, given the circumstances, it was almost comic. Rubén climbed onto a dining chair to secure the lights, told me stories from when Javier and I were dating, and laughed at his own jokes. His defenses were completely down; he felt useful, safe in his role as the good brother doing a family favor.

And all the while, as I stirred the sauce in the pan and laughed at his jokes, I could not get it out of my head that Javier was in the darkness just a few feet away, devouring every movement his brother made through the immense mirror glass.

When the lights were ready, I glanced at the clock above the extractor fan and sighed theatrically.

—I’ve spent the entire afternoon carrying bags back and forth, and I feel as if I’ve absorbed the smell of shallots and roast meat. Javier won’t be here for more than an hour. Would you mind taking charge for a moment? It only needs to stay on low heat; give it a stir now and then so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.

—Of course. Tell me what to do.

I handed him the wooden spoon, asked him to watch the heat, and walked to the bed to take my toiletry bag from the heavy black backpack I had left on the coverlet. I did it with deliberate slowness, making sure to leave the zipper wide open before locking myself in the bathroom.

The contents of the backpack were bait within bait. Right on top, almost innocently, lay a delicate set of black floral-lace lingerie. But just beneath it, peeking through the dark fabric, waited the brutality: a huge silicone replica, with pronounced veins and a thick head, which Rubén knew perfectly from an afternoon we had shared in front of a computer. And as the finishing touch, at the bottom, a transparent silicone male masturbator with a tight ringed inner texture, paired with a bottle of warming lubricant. Seeing that case designed exclusively to squeeze a cock would make it perfectly clear to Rubén that the night would not be mine alone.

I turned on the shower. I let the water run and waited.

***

When I came out of the bathroom wrapped in a large towel, my damp hair gathered into a turban, the backpack’s zipper was perfectly closed.

I smiled to myself. He had taken the bait.

—How’s the reduction going? —I asked in a light, familiar tone, walking barefoot across the floor.

Through the quartz counter, I saw Rubén clutching the wooden spoon as if it were a lifeline, stirring the sauce with the jerky movements of an automaton. His neck was rigid, and when he turned his head slightly to answer me with an unintelligible murmur, I saw the violent blush climbing up his neck and his clenched jaw. He was terrible at hiding it. The arsenal he had seen in the backpack had fried his circuits completely.

—It smells wonderful, but I’m roasting —I continued naturally, walking straight toward the immense mirror covering the side wall—. The bathroom has turned into a Turkish sauna. Impossible to do my hair in there without melting.

I stopped in front of the huge glass. I knew Javier was on the other side, mere inches from my skin, devouring me with his eyes from the darkness. I acted with the same ease I would have shown in front of a close girlfriend. Without a trace of forced sensuality, I let the towel covering my body fall. Seconds later, I unwound the turban from my head, freeing my damp hair, and both towels fell to the floor beside my feet.

Completely naked, I paused for a moment before my reflection.

—What a scatterbrain I am —I murmured, clicking my tongue in annoyance—. I left the hair dryer inside.

It was not an oversight, of course. It was a calculated excuse. I turned on my heels and walked back to the bathroom, crossing the room without hurry, with a relaxed sway that made my breasts bounce softly with every step. That journey there and back was a visual gift for both of them: my husband’s attentive shadow on the other side of the glass and my brother-in-law’s congested eyes from the kitchen, no longer hiding where his gaze was fixed.

I returned with the dryer in my hand, plugged it in, and turned it on at full power. The deafening motor filled the apartment, creating an acoustic wall that made conversation impossible.

I dried my hair with my hands, using broad, unconcerned movements. Through the reflection, the dynamic was perfect: I sent him quick, calculated glances; he devoured me with his eyes whenever he thought I was focused on my hair, but looked away in panic each time he risked being caught red-handed. I could see the thick bulge outlined against his jeans whenever he turned sideways toward the pan.

Every so often, I stopped paying attention to my hair and fixed my pupils directly on the inscrutable darkness of the glass. I could not see him, but I knew exactly where Javier’s eyes were. I held that invisible gaze through the silvering, offering him every inch of my naked skin and sharing with him, in a silence of absolute complicity, the wonderful spectacle of his own brother falling apart three meters away.

I switched off the dryer and left it on the rug. The motor fell silent, suddenly returning the acoustic lead to the extractor fan’s steady hum.

—Rubén —I said suddenly in an amused, almost teasing tone, without stopping my gaze from the reflection—. If you keep beating that reduction, you’re going to whip it into soft peaks.

Rubén jumped. The spoon struck noisily against the metal pan.

—I... sorry. I was only trying to keep it from sticking —he stammered.

His voice sounded hoarse and strangled. Embarrassment colored his cheeks and neck a deep red. He was completely overwhelmed by the situation, with no idea where to put his hands.

I laughed softly, a crystalline laugh intended to make everything seem unimportant. I spread moisturizer over my hands and continued rubbing it over my shoulders and stomach before the mirror, then sliding down over my breasts until I accidentally pinched my nipples under the pretext of distributing the lotion properly.

—Please, Rubén —I said lightly, almost fraternally—. Don’t tell me you’re going to be embarrassed to see me naked at this point.

He swallowed. His eyes darted nervously around the kitchen, unable to bear the weight of the situation.

—It’s not that, Sara. It’s just that... it caught me by surprise —he managed, trying to sound rational.

I stopped my hands on my hips and looked directly at him through the reflection.

—Hey, if it makes you uncomfortable, I’ll take my things and get dressed in the bathroom. I hadn’t thought anything of it, but if it bothers you, I’ll go right now.

Panic crossed my brother-in-law’s face. The mere idea of my leaving and taking the spectacle away from him, just when I was giving him almost explicit permission to look without feeling judged, was more than he could bear.

—No! There’s no need —he hurried to say, almost tripping over the words—. Stay here. It’s fine.

—Thank goodness —I murmured, resuming what I was doing. As I spoke, I turned toward the backpack—. Besides, I meant to ask your advice, and I wasn’t quite sure how.

I closed the distance between us, completely naked, and switched off the ceramic hob naturally.

—The reduction is perfect —I announced—. Come, come with me for a moment.

I took his hand. It was damp with nerves; mine was soft and scented with the freshly applied cream. I pulled him to the edge of the bed and gave him a gentle push to make him sit on the coverlet.

I turned toward the backpack.

—Well, aren’t you efficient at closing things up —I said with a little laugh—. I’m a disaster; I could have sworn I left it wide open when I took out my toiletry bag.

In the wardrobe’s reflection, I saw Rubén turn white, frozen on the edge of the bed. I had just confirmed that I knew he had been snooping, but in such an innocent tone that he could not explain himself without giving himself away completely.

Ignoring his sudden pallor, I opened the backpack and took out the black lace lingerie. I turned toward him and held the tiny garments against my naked body, at exactly the height where they belonged.

—You know what Javier is like with black. But I bought it in such a hurry that I didn’t even get to try it on. What do you think? Do you think he’ll like it, or is it too daring?

Rubén blinked a couple of times, trying to keep his eyes fixed on my face instead of on the panties I was holding directly in front of my pussy.

—It’s very pretty, Sara —he managed, his voice a couple of octaves lower than usual—. He’ll love it.

—Great! —I exclaimed with a smile—. I’m going to see how it looks on.

Without the slightest shame or hurry, I began dressing right there in front of him. I adjusted the bra, checking how the floral lace framed my breasts, then slid the black panties up my legs. The design had no fabric at all in the crotch, leaving my lips exposed and framed by the scalloped lace edges.

I moved a couple of steps toward the center of the living room so he could get a better view and slowly turned around.

—Is it too direct? Tell me the truth. I trust your judgment.

—It’s not vulgar —he replied, his voice noticeably deeper—. He’ll love it. I’m sure.

—Then it’s settled. —I gave him a radiant smile—. Now for the second question, the one that worries me most.

I turned toward the bed to rummage through the backpack again. The masturbator had become stuck at the bottom, beneath the huge silicone replica. With an impatient sigh, I grasped the dildo by its base, pulled it out, and let it drop onto the coverlet as naturally as someone taking shoes from a suitcase.

Rubén remained seated on the edge of the bed, his back to me. Instead of turning around to see what I was doing, he had fixed his eyes on the huge glass in front of him, using it as a rearview mirror. It was there, on the silvered surface, that our gazes met. I saw his expression change completely. His eyes dropped to the reflection of the enormous dildo lying on the sheets, and a flash of unmistakable familiarity crossed his pupils, mixed with sudden blush and thick excitement that tightened his jaw.

He knew that object perfectly.

—Judging by the way you’re staring at it, I’d swear you’ve just run into an old acquaintance —I said with a light laugh, catching his gaze again through the glass.

Rubén swallowed so forcefully that the movement of his Adam’s apple showed in the mirror. He shifted in place, unable to disguise the weight of his memories.

—It’s the one you had in the computer pictures —he murmured softly, as if merely mentioning it were a sin—. From that afternoon in the study.

There it was. A clean, direct confession from his own mouth, served up on a silver platter for my husband’s silent shadow on the other side of the glass to devour.

—The same one —I confirmed with a conspiratorial smile, dismissing it as though it were nothing—. But back to the matter at hand.

Leaving the dildo behind, I took a couple of steps and sat beside him on the edge of the bed with the masturbator in my hand. I held it out to him.

—They swear it’s the best on the market, but it seems too narrow for Javier’s size. And since I know you’re considerably bigger than he is... I thought perhaps you could test it for a second and tell me whether the friction is comfortable.

Rubén jerked his gaze away and shook his head. His breathing had become erratic and heavy.

—Sara, stop —he begged, his voice hoarse, almost broken by the accumulated tension—. I can’t do this. You can’t do this to me.

He ran his hands over his face, visibly overwhelmed, fighting to keep his sanity. When he looked at me again, his eyes held a mixture of desperation and completely justified reproach.

—You made me promise you that night would be the last time. And I kept my word —he continued harshly, clinging to his frustration—. But now you’re here walking around half-naked and asking me to put my cock in a toy for your husband. Do you realize how humiliating that is? It’s exactly like the morning I came over after my vasectomy.

My heart lurched with pure anticipation. There it was.

—You knew exactly what you were doing that day too —he muttered, unable to stop the bile of his own memories—. You took advantage of Javier’s blind trust while he stayed in the living room and left us alone. He could never have imagined that weeks earlier you had already opened the door to your secrets in the study. So he saw your concern through a lens of innocence that you took care to corrupt. You lowered my trousers under the pretext of checking my bandage, took hold of me with your cold hand, and worked me until I was hard as a rock. And once you had me like that, you knelt between my knees and put me in your mouth. All of it, Sara. Right down to the bottom. I could feel myself striking your throat and the way you swallowed around me. You sucked me with a hunger I had never seen in my life, choking yourself, letting the thread of saliva run down over my balls. And when I was about to come in your mouth, when the warning had already shot through the base of my cock, you pulled your lips away with a smack, wiped your chin with the back of your hand, and walked into the hallway licking your lips as if nothing had happened. You left me there bursting with need, my cock throbbing in the open and your brother three steps away, and now you expect me to be your test subject again.

His words rang through the living room like a sentence. On the other side of the immense glass, Javier had just taken the direct impact of reality: the explicit, raw confession of what had happened in his own house behind his back.

I did not become defensive. I sketched a soft, almost sympathetic smile and let my arms fall with studied languor.

—You’re right, Rubén —I conceded in an unusually calm voice—. I was selfish that day; I won’t deny it. But we both know my curiosity didn’t begin that morning. It came from before, from the afternoon in the study. I’m sorry.

I took a slow step toward him, narrowing the distance until my knees brushed the fabric of his trousers.

—But you’re wrong about one thing —I continued, fixing my eyes on his—. I’m not torturing you right now. You are. You’re the one who brought that room to light. You’re the one who remembered the feel of my mouth aloud while staring at my breasts.

I leaned slightly toward him, invading his personal space without cornering him.

—You’ve spent months pretending to be the irreproachable brother-in-law, the perfect gentleman. And Javier believes it. But we both know that promise is suffocating you. If you truly want to remain that gentleman, stand up, walk out that door, and pretend this never happened. But if you have no intention of leaving, stop circling around the point and spare yourself the reproaches. The decision is yours.

The silence that followed my ultimatum was dense, almost tangible. For endless seconds, Rubén kept his eyes fixed on mine. The storm of resentment went out in them, replaced by the dark, feverish gleam of surrender.

He did not try to stand. He made no move to leave. He raised one of his large, strong hands, placed it on the inside of my thigh, and with firm, deliberate pressure pushed me slowly backward onto the mattress. Then he leaned over me, yanked the scalloped lace aside, and buried his face between my legs.

There were no kisses beforehand. No affectionate preliminaries. It was a frantic, desperate, ravenous eating of my pussy: his tongue forcing its way against my swollen lips with an urgency bordering on madness, licking me from top to bottom, from anus to clitoris, sucking the moisture directly from its source with the thirst of someone who had spent months forbidding himself water. He was a starving man finally being allowed to eat.

The shock made me react instinctively. I put my hands on his head, tangled my fingers in his hair, and my knees yielded to the useless reflex of closing. But the clumsiness and roughness of his tongue, driven by pure need rather than technique, struck me with an electric jolt of pleasure that erased any intention of pushing him away.

Little by little, I relaxed the tension in my thighs. I let him do it. I opened myself to give him total access and let my left hand sink into his hair, guiding and enjoying his hungry devouring, while my right rose to squeeze my own nipple through the lace in time with his desperation. I knew Javier was seeing everything: his brother’s head between my legs, my stomach rising and falling, my hand pulling his hair so he would not move even an inch away from my pussy.

Rubén’s initial hunger soon sharpened, transforming the roughness of the first seconds into much more precise technique. He focused exclusively on my clitoris, enveloping it with his lips to create a firm, wet vacuum while the tip of his tongue struck the exposed nerve at a frantic speed. He slid two thick fingers along my slit and plunged them inside me. The contrast was devastating: ravenous suction above and the constant pumping of his knuckles opening a path through my channel, moving in and out effortlessly thanks to the amount of fluid overflowing from me and soaking his hand to the wrist. He curved his fingers upward, found that rough spot on my inner wall, and began striking it with his fingertip while sucking my clitoris without giving me a moment’s respite.

The tension gathered in my lower belly at dizzying speed. My moans lost every trace of decorum. I arched my spine violently when the orgasm burst inside me, shaking me through a series of rhythmic spasms that left me blind and breathless, my knees trembling on either side of his head and my thighs squeezing his ears. I felt my pussy clench hard around his fingers and a warm jet run over his chin and drip onto his shirt.

***

When I recovered my breath, I slowly sat up and fixed him with my eyes. Rubén’s mouth was shining, his chin soaked, his eyes glassy with desire. I ran my thumb over his lower lip, gathering my own juices, and put my finger into his mouth for him to suck clean. He did so without looking away from me.

—Now stand up —I whispered.

I took his hand and led him to stand just inches from the spy mirror, calculating the angle perfectly so that Javier on the other side would have a clear side view of his brother. I unfastened Rubén’s belt slowly, lowered his zipper, and pulled down his jeans and underwear together, letting them fall around his ankles. His cock sprang free, thick and hard as a mast, its head swollen and purple, a thick drop of pre-cum hanging from the tip. It was indeed considerably larger than Javier’s: longer, thicker through the shaft, with a bulging central vein running its full length. The kind of specimen that left a mark.

I knelt on the floor before him, resting my weight on my heels, my face level with his cock and the enormous mirror behind us as the perfect witness.

I wrapped my fist around the base and slowly licked from his balls to the crown, savoring the sweat and tension. Then I closed my lips around the head and sucked firmly, without taking him all the way in yet. I had to give Javier the same slow spectacle with which I had been torturing myself in my own mind for months.

—Look at me carefully —I murmured, Rubén’s cock brushing my lips—. Look at yourself in the mirror, Rubén. Look at your brother’s wife sucking you.

He raised his eyes and fixed them on the glass, seeing himself reflected with his sister-in-law kneeling before him, painting his cock with her tongue. A guttural moan escaped his chest. Poor man did not know he was looking straight into Javier’s eyes through the silvering.

I released his cock and reached toward the bedside table, where the transparent masturbator and bottle of lubricant lay. I poured a generous amount inside the tube, shook it a couple of times to distribute it, and felt it warm between my fingers. Then I placed the masturbator’s opening against Rubén’s head and pushed slowly, swallowing his cock inch by inch. The transparent silicone squeezed his shaft so tightly that his veins showed against the tube wall, compressed, while the inner rings deformed around the hard flesh.

—Tell me how it feels —I whispered, beginning to move it with slow twists of my wrist.

—Tight... pretty tight —Rubén panted, eyes half-closed, one hand braced against the mirror frame to keep his balance—. But it’s good. Very good.

—Like a mouth? Like a pussy?

—Like a tight pussy. Very tight.

I smiled and quickened the pace. The wet sound of silicone sloshing around his cock filled the apartment, mingling with Rubén’s ragged breathing and the quieter, more restrained sound I sensed on the other side of the glass: my husband masturbating in the darkness.

I worked Rubén’s cock with the masturbator for long minutes, measuring every acceleration and pause. When I felt his balls tighten against the base and the tip swell inside the transparent tube until it was almost black, I slowed down and let him breathe. Twice I brought him to the brink of orgasm, his semen already appearing in the urethra, and twice I pulled the tube off just in time, forcing him to swallow the release.

—Sara, fuck, please —he panted the third time, his voice broken, looking down at his cock throbbing in the open, bright and swollen, dripping pre-cum onto the floor.

—Please what? —I asked, looking up at him with my tongue peeking between my lips.

—Let me finish. Let me finish once and for all.

I pretended to consider it for a moment. Then I fitted the masturbator over his head again and lowered it in one firm movement to the base. Rubén’s thighs shook.

—Finish —I allowed in a whisper—. Finish, and don’t take your eyes off the mirror.

He lasted less than ten seconds. A low, hoarse roar came from his throat, his hips thrust forward against the tube, and his cock exploded inside the silicone. I saw, and Javier saw with perfect clarity, thick white semen bursting against the masturbator’s inner walls, trapped between the transparent silicone and his skin, flooding his head. Rubén kept thrusting by inertia, squeezing himself against the toy until the final contraction left him empty and trembling, clinging to the mirror frame to keep from falling.

I drew his cock slowly from the tube. The masturbator was full of his come, a hot, sticky mess I decided not to clean yet. I left it on the bedside table in plain sight, like a trophy.

I licked the last drops from his head before letting him go.

I gathered up the battlefield in silence, still wearing the black lingerie, the smell of my brother-in-law’s semen clinging to my hands. I calmly accompanied him to the front door. He stopped on the threshold, looked into my eyes with disarming intensity, and murmured a “thank you” that carried much more weight than the words suggested. I leaned forward and hugged him tightly, pressing my breasts against his shirt for several seconds that seemed eternal. I wanted him to carry my touch burned into him before he went out into the hall.

The front door closed behind me. I leaned against the wood for a moment, letting the adrenaline begin to fade, then walked toward the false wall. I activated the concealed mechanism and pushed the panel open.

Javier was there in the half-light, sitting on a low stool that had served as his improvised front-row seat. He was still wearing his shirt but was naked from the waist down. His breathing was heavy, and his imposing erection, red and tense, foreskin retracted and head gleaming with pre-cum, revealed that he had been on the edge of climax for hours without allowing himself to reach it. His hand was stained; he had been holding himself for hours without letting himself come.

I remained standing in the doorway, watching him. I had expected devastation or fury over the revelations he had heard. But what I saw in his eyes was a strange mixture of vulnerability and resignation.

—I suppose deep down I imagined it —he broke the silence, his voice hoarse—. There were things that didn’t add up. Rubén’s distance, which began almost out of nowhere right after the morning of his vasectomy. It always seemed too much of a coincidence.

He swallowed before continuing.

—I would have preferred to find out another way, Sara. I think I’ve always given you enough trust that you shouldn’t have had to hide anything from me, no matter how serious you thought it might be.

His words held no cruel reproach. They were the confession of a man who felt excluded from his wife’s confidence. That vulnerability squeezed my heart and, at the same time, aroused me in an instinctive, possessive way.

Taking advantage of the stool’s height, I approached him slowly and positioned myself between his spread legs. I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him. It was a sweet, unhurried kiss, filled with remorse that needed no words to be real.

—I’m sorry —I whispered against his lips—. That morning, lust overpowered reason. I let myself be carried away. I wanted to tell you the moment you walked through the door, but the more I thought about what I had done, the more afraid I became of losing you. I preferred to convince myself that it was better not to stir anything up.

I kissed him again, this time more urgently, subtly moving my hips so his hard cock rubbed against the wet lace between my legs. Javier moaned into my mouth and his hands came alive, gripping my waist with a possessive force that made me swallow.

He pulled away barely a millimeter, breathing hard, his eyes darkened by desire and the need to know there were no more ghosts between us.

—Did you like what you saw? —I asked in a whisper.

—It drove me crazy —he confessed, voice broken and words dragged out—. Hearing you call for him, seeing you kneeling in front of him, seeing his cock inside that tube filling with milk inches from your face... I almost came three times just watching. I had to squeeze the base to keep myself from letting go.

I smiled in the half-light. It was the perfect answer.

I took his hand, made him climb down from the stool, and led him to the edge of the same bed where his brother had been sitting minutes earlier. I pulled his shirt over his head. I pushed his chest until he lay back and climbed on top of him, straddling him, the open panties brushing his stomach. I moved them aside and slid over his cock, rubbing my soaked lips along its entire shaft without letting it enter. Javier growled and dug his fingers into my hips, trying to force penetration.

—Not yet —I whispered, moving away slightly—. First I want to give you what you’ve been waiting for all these hours.

I slid down until I was kneeling between his legs, hanging from the edge of the bed. I took the transparent silicone masturbator from the bedside table, still filled with Rubén’s thick semen. I raised it to eye level so Javier could see it clearly, so he could register his brother’s come trapped against the silicone walls. Javier’s eyes opened wide.

—Sara...

—Silence —I murmured—. You saw everything. Now you get to feel it.

I wrapped his cock with my free hand, squeezing the base to keep the erection firm, and fitted the masturbator over the tip. Rubén’s hot semen redistributed itself inside, coating Javier’s head, sliding along his shaft, mixing with the pre-cum he had been secreting for hours. A guttural, almost animal moan tore from my husband’s throat.

—Pay attention to the texture —I whispered, moving the tube up and down with maddening slowness—. It’s the same one he used. The same rings, the same pressure. Right now your cock is sliding through the same place where your brother came ten minutes ago. Can you feel how it’s still warm? Can you feel how his come makes it slide better?

—Fuck, Sara —Javier panted, hands gripping the sheets, knuckles white—. Fuck.

—And he asked me to work him like this, you know? He asked me to do it slowly. Not to let him finish. To squeeze the base whenever he was about to. Exactly as I’m doing to you now.

I squeezed the base with my closed fist just as I felt the first wave coming, and Javier let out a roar of pure frustration. I let him drop back a little. Then I started again. I worked his cock with the toy for a long time, with slow, deliberate movements, whispering in his ear that this was exactly how his brother had asked me to do it. At this speed and rhythm, in this precise direction. That Rubén had come inside it begging me to let him, exactly as Javier was begging now.

—Let me come —Javier moaned with his eyes squeezed shut—. Sara, please, let me come, let me, let me...

—Not yet —I whispered, yanking the tube away.

Before he could protest, I climbed on top of him, guided his cock to my pussy, and impaled myself on it in one firm movement all the way to the base. We both moaned at once. I was so wet from the cunnilingus, so slippery, that his cock entered to the bottom in a single thrust. I began riding him eagerly, hands braced on his chest, letting him see himself entering and leaving my body, my breasts bouncing with every downward stroke, my body rising and falling with a wet slapping sound.

—Come inside me —I ordered, fixing my eyes on his—. Mark me from within. Right now. Leave your milk where your brother put his fingers.

Javier could hold back no longer. He seized my hips with brutal force, pulled me down against him, and arched beneath my weight with a roar that filled the apartment. I felt his cock jerk inside me, hot, thick jets striking my inner wall, one after another, everything he had been holding back for hours. I remained still on top of him, rhythmically squeezing my pussy to milk out every last drop while he trembled beneath me, eyes closed and breathing broken.

When he finally relaxed, I collapsed onto his chest. His cock remained inside me, slowly softening, while the semen began to run down my thighs.

I lay beside him afterward, letting our breathing fall into rhythm in the silence. Above the headboard, the warm string lights Rubén had hung so patiently were still glowing, bathing the room in an intimate and absurdly domestic radiance.

—Happy anniversary —I murmured, resting my head on his shoulder.

Javier let out a low, guttural laugh and wrapped his arm around me, holding me close.

—Definitely the most perverse anniversary present of our lives —he replied.

I did not agree with him. But neither did I disagree.
