               This is a story about an innocent and faithful wife of 25 years who
          succumbs.  I play the part of the wife.
 
               It begins, of course, with the description of the wife, her looks
          (average, like me), her innocence, her faithfulness through the years.  I'm sure
          that you are familiar with such a wife (perhaps it's your own wife, or perhaps
          it's you) and can easily fill in the details.  Nothing extraordinary, just a good
          and true wife who has lived happily with her husband for a couple of dozen
          years or so.
 
               Then, the actual story starts at a New Year's eve party we have gone to
          at the house of a friend of a friend, where we don't know most of the people.
          We meet a lot of people all at once, so the introductions become a bit of a blur,
          except for one that stands out.  This is to a Greek named Dmitri, who is visiting
          one of the other people at the party.  Dmitri is tall, athletic looking, with wavy
          brown hair and strong cheekbones, and speaks excellent English with a
          thoroughly delightful accent, one I hadn't heard for many years, since we had
          lived in Greece shortly after we were married.
 
               There is, of course, a lot of drinking going on.  I don't drink much so
          confine myself to a few glasses of red wine, just enough to make me light-
          headed.  My husband drinks only fruit juice.  At one point, someone comments
          on his abstemiousness, and he explains that alcohol does bad things to his
          digestive system.  Several people volunteer that it is unlawful to greet the new
          year sober and they suggest pot instead.  However, this is not the 70s anymore
          and no one has any marijuana.  So at midnight, I receive a sober kiss from my
          husband.
 
               Others have not been abstaining, so when the ball at Times Square falls
          and the fireworks start, everyone is kissing everyone else; a few are going even
          further, drifting off into the darker corners and greeting the new year with a
          bang (so to speak).  Most of the kisses I receive are pecks on the cheek, except
          for the Greek's.  Dmitri wraps his arms around me, bends me over at the waist,
          and, with incredibly soft, luxurious lips, kisses me full on the mouth.  I'm so
          taken aback that my mouth opens and his tongue snakes its way in.
 
               Whether it's the kiss, or the wine, or Dmitri, I don't know, but I
          immediately have some evil thoughts that a well-behaved wife shouldn't have.
          On occasion, over the course of 25 years of marriage, I've had such thoughts
          before, but I've always managed to suppress them and, as soon as I can get my
          husband alone, atone for them by acting them out with him, releasing all the
          passion built up in my system.  Unfortunately, later that night when we get
          home, it will be very late and he will be too tired and will want to go to sleep
          immediately.  So my evil thoughts will be left to fester in the back of my mind.
 
               But, in the meantime, back at the party there's still plenty of drinking,
          talking, and whatever is going on in the dark corners.  Eventually, we get to
          talk a bit with Dmitri and are delighted to learn that he comes from the same
          city we lived in when my husband worked there.  We'd love to talk more with
          him, but it is now quite late and his host is waiting to drive him home, and,
          unfortunately, he has to go back to Greece in a couple of days.  However, he
          explains that his last evening here will be free because his host as an
          unavoidable previous commitment.  He offers to be our host at a restaurant
          where we can continue the discussion that night.  We counter by offering to
          feed him at our home and, after some delicate negotiations, it is agreed that I'll
          cook a simple dinner and he'll bring dessert.
 
               So several nights later, my evil thoughts still lurking in the recesses of
          my mind, I find myself thinking more of my attire than of the menu.  I debate
          about various possibilities, ranging from very informal (jeans, tee-shirt, bare
          feet) to rather formal (evening gown, jewelry, high heels) before I finally settle
          on a compromise - a full-length skirt of soft, brown wool, a man's-style white
          blouse with the faintest tan pinstripe, with only the collar unbuttoned, a thin
          gold chain necklace, and flats.
 
               When Dmitri arrives and takes his coat off, I'm relieved that he has no
          jacket or tie - he wears what looks like a business shirt, except for the fact that
          it is mauve, with the top three buttons unbuttoned.  He surprises me by kissing
          my hand quite formally and presents me with a huge bouquet of flowers and a
          sinful looking chocolate torte.  Normally, he says, he would bring wine "to
          expand the taste buds for what, I am confident, will be your excellent cooking",
          but being aware of my husband's problems he brought to us, instead, a small
          box that turns out to contain two joints - something we hadn't seen in years.
          One, he suggests, before the main course, and one before dessert.  One must, he
          explains, "expand the taste buds."
 
               Between his pot, his excellent conversation, and his sinful dessert,
          dinner goes wonderfully.  We talk about Greece, where we had stayed, the
          changes since that time, and generally have a delightful time.  After dinner we
          float on a cloud of marijuana into the living room.  A short time later, my
          husband, who has had rather more than his share of the pot, stands up and
          announces he will look in the cellar for the photographs we took in Greece.  As
          he vanishes down the stairs, Dmitri tells me that he is a professional
          photographer, that he takes glamour pictures for Playboy.  I greet this statement
          with skepticism and a bit of a giggle, but he protests and offers his business
          card to me.  When this turns out to be entirely in Chinese, my giggle becomes a
          laugh.  His translation, "Dmitri Papadopoulos, Glamour and Nude Photography,
          Playboy Magazine," produces a marijuana laughing fit in me.
 
               "No, no," he protests, "I'll prove it.  I'll photograph you."  So saying,
          he picks up an imaginary camera, holds it up to his eye and points it at me.  Of
          course, I assume a "glamour pose" and he presses the button on his "camera,"
          saying "click" at the same time.  He takes a few more such "pictures" as I vamp
          for him, but then he insists that my costume isn't right for glamour pictures.
          Shoes and socks will have to go, he takes off his own to demonstrate - one must
          never wear shoes in a glamour picture unless they are high heels.  My blouse
          must not be tucked in, it must hang freely - he pulls out his shirt from his pants
          - like so.  And the buttons, I must open another button. "Click." And another.
          "Click"
 
               A few more such pictures, taken from a variety of angles for a number
          of poses, and he convinces me to open all but one button on my blouse,
          showing me which one by unbuttoning his shirt.  But then we can't have my
          white cotton bra showing, I must take it off.  This doesn't seem right to me, but
          while I ponder the idea he slides his hand up my back, under my blouse, and
          deftly unsnaps the bra.  Whether it is the pot or the confident smoothness of his
          action, I acquiesce by slipping one arm through its strap and pulling the bra off
          through my other sleeve, leaving my breasts scarcely concealed under my
          almost unbuttoned blouse.  As he clicks away on his imaginary camera, I begin
          to feel really glamorous and sexy, something I haven't really felt in years.
 
               The last button, of course, has to go, so we are standing there with both
          our shirts untucked and fully unbuttoned when my husband comes back saying
          "I can't find those pictures in the cellar."  He looks at us.  "What's up?"
 
               "Ah, you are here, wonderful," Dmitri responds without missing a beat,
          "I am taking glamour pictures of your wife, but you must take a picture of the
          two of us together.  Here," handing him the imaginary camera, "you look
          through here and press this button."  Having instructed my husband, he comes
          over and puts his arm around me, in the process opening our shirts so that one
          of my breasts presses against his naked chest and the other looks boldly out
          towards my husband.  My husband says "smile" and presses his finger down
          and Dmitri says "click."
 
               Then, carefully putting the camera down, my husband says "I think I'll
          look in the cellar for those Greek pictures" and heads down the stairs again.
 
               Dmitri continues his photographing.  Now he wants me to pull up my
          skirt to show some legs, to bundle it between my legs, to pull it off to one side,
          and, eventually, to unbutton and lower it to reveal my hip, "like so" he says,
          lowering his pants.  "Click" and another pose, "Click."  A few poses later and
          my skirt and his pants are lying on the floor in heaps.  The next poses, he
          insists, need a different background.  The living room isn't right.  We need a
          bed.
 
               So, wearing nothing but an unbuttoned blouse, white cotton panties, a
          thin gold necklace, and a marijuana haze, I lead him to our bedroom.   When I
          turn to look at him, I can't help commenting on the bulge in his red jockey
          shorts.  That is my beauty meter, he responds, it always sticks out like this in
          the presence of such beauty.
 
               And so I stretch out on the bed and pose.  "Click."  I am a glamour
          queen.  "Click."  A Playboy centerfold.  "Click."  The obsession of men.
          "Click."  The envy of women.  "Click." I am feeling glorious.  "Click."  And it
          is all so safe, because there is no film in the camera.  "Click."  In fact, there is
          no camera.  "Click."  All sorts of exotic, erotic poses.  "Click."  It is wonderful.
          "Click."
 
               By this time my blouse (and his shirt) are long gone, "Click," and we
          have each just removed our underpants, when my husband reappears.  "I can't
          find those pictures in the cellar."  I am completely naked except for the thin
          gold chain around my neck.  Dmitri's "beauty meter" is impressively sticking
          up.
 
               "Ah, just in time," Dmitri hands him the invisible camera, "you must
          take a picture of us in the pose of Rodin's famous statue, 'The Kiss.'" And he
          sits down next to me, embracing me and kissing me, as in the statue.  I wait to
          hear what my husband says.
 
               He says, "Click."
 
               He says, "Maybe our Greek pictures are in the cellar."
 
               He puts the "camera" down and leaves.
 
               Dmitri continues the kiss.  His hands stroke my arms, my back, my
          breasts.  His mouth finds a nipple, which he takes between his soft lips.  My
          hands respond, roaming over his muscular body, grasping his "beauty meter,"
          which now seems to be registering off the scale.  Now I am on my back, his
          head is between my legs, the room is rocking from side to side, or is it me, as
          his tongue enters me.  From the tip of his tongue, little pulses of electricity
          burst outward through my entire body.  I can feel the pressure building up
          within me.
 
               And then it stops.
 
               He repositions himself between my legs.  I feel the tip of his "beauty
          meter" begin to slide into me when I see my husband standing in the doorway.
          He stares for a moment, then raises the imaginary camera to his eyes, presses
          his finger down, and says "Click."
 
               Dmitri has now entered me an is sliding in and out, plunging down and
          then rearing up, his chest pressing against my breasts.  I am losing contact, my
          head sways from side to side.  My hands grab at his back, trying to pull him
          further into me.  The room seems to be pulsing in and out.  I am breathing
          heavily.  And then I hear it.
 
               "Click."
 
               I look toward the door and my husband is standing there, naked, one
          hand holding the "camera" up to his eye and the other stroking his erect penis.
          "Click."  I loose sight of everything.  I no longer see the room.  "Click."  I see
          fireworks and pulsing bursts of light.  "Click."  I am gasping for breath.
          "Click"  My body begins to spasm.  "Click."  Volcanos begin to erupt.  "Click."
          I feel them within me and see the bursts of molten lava.  "Click."  Now I am
          shaken by an earthquake.  "Click."  I can't breath.  "Click."  I scream at the top
          of my voice.  "Click.  Click.  Oh, God, Click!"
