An apologetic E-Mail

Sometimes things happen in life that shouldn’t.

For the most part these impromptu events are soon enough overcome and forgotten. However, very occasionally individuals feelings can outweigh events and an instance such as this occurs below.

I have an idea this particular story will have limited appeal, but I felt it worthwhile to run with it anyway.
Do remember, this is a work of fiction, written firstly for my own enjoyment, and submitted for what I hope will be the readers enjoyment.

Again, please feel free to leave constructive comments.


Dear Ann

I guess the last thing you would have expected from me is an e-mail and right now I suspect you are probably raising an eyebrow or two in surprise…The truth is…I didn’t know what else to do.

I feel real bad about what happened the other week, and I’m sure you will have guessed by now, it’s why I have kept out of your way, believing I’d not be made too welcome were I to have called round.

I can only hope you can accept my apology for what happened for I truly am sorry.

I’ve spent the last week trying to come up with an excuse for what happened. I know there is none Ann… All I can do by way of explanation is be completely honest with you and hope you can understand how difficult, what I am about to say, is for me?

I’ve tried to figure out in my head why I did what I did and can only put it down to the simple reason, my feelings for you got the better of me.

The truth is Ann, I just can’t seem to get you out of my head.

If I am completely honest Ann, I have fancied you, right from the moment we were very first introduced….And before you say anything..Yes I know only too well how wrong these feelings are. How wrong it was for me to try what I did, just as I don’t need to be reminded of the fact, I’m married to your daughter, which in itself makes what I did all the worse.

For that matter, I am also aware I could have spoiled things for you and your hubby. I know all this…and more besides..and if it helps you any, I feel as guilty as hell, but when I see you Ann I find it so hard to control my feelings, which is pretty much all I can put it down too, well…at least the day in question.

If you remember rightly Ann, you were wearing a cream coloured, v-necked top that day and when I saw how you were dressed I think I knew right away I was going to do something stupid.

The fact is Ann, I have always admired how fit you keep yourself. You have such a sexy body and appear to know just how to dress, always looking good in whatever you wear but on that particular day…well what can I say, something just snapped inside me and I imagined, in my minds eye, you’d worn that outfit just for me. I know now of course that’s not the case. I guess I knew that even then, but that said, I couldn’t keep my eyes off you. You looked so beautiful. So sexy, to the point where, and I am ashamed to say this…… I wanted you. I know I shouldn’t be admitting this but God I wanted you so bad!

Commonsense went out of the window. There we were, just the two of us. You looking so damned delicious and I couldn’t get over how good that top looked, hugging your delicious curves.

Yes again Ann I know it’s so damned wrong of me to be having thoughts like these never mind the fact I’m opening up to you now in order to try and explain things. All I can say in defence is….Who can help how they feel?
Like I said, something snapped that day and I just had to feel your body close to mine.

Yes it was wrong of me to push myself onto you… to have kissed you the way I did. I can only promise to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and while I have so many regrets for forcing myself on you that day, the one thing I will say is the feel of your body close to mine will live in my mind for a very long time.

I just want you to understand it is all because of how attracted I am to you……of how sexy I find you, and believe me Lin just holding you in my arms that day proved that beyond any doubt.

OK…yes yes..no need to remind me how wrong it was, or of who I am married to, or of the age gap between us. Please Ann, accept my apology so we can at least try and be friends again.


Dear Andy,

Yes you were right! The last thing I expected was to get a mail from you and was even more surprised with the things you had to say, but before I go on, yes of course I will accept your apology. I am just pleased I have at least heard from you at last for I felt I was maybe a little too stern with you that day.

Yes Andy, What you tried was wrong, I think we both know that, both now and at the time, but at least your mail has gone some way to explaining why it is you tried what you did.

I have to say Andy, I am more than surprised to hear of your feelings for me, even moreso that you have been feeling this way since we first met, especially given, at 54 years of age I am almost 20 years your senior.

As you rightly say, I am also your Mother-in-law Andy. So there is my daughter, your wife to consider, and YES, just those two points alone should be enough for us to realise what happened was so very wrong. However, I must say, when I read your words I was more than a little flattered to hear of your feelings, as I am sure any older woman would be to hear she has a young admirer.

Please Andy, you mustn’t carry all the blame yourself.

After you had left, I ‘had time to think things through, ok… yes! It was indeed you who made the initial move, but it occurred to me, the reality was, I did little to try and reject your advances.

Being older and supposedly wiser, I should have known better. I should have put a stop to it right away and, if I had done, at least we would not be in the situation we face now.

You’ve maybe wondered why I didn’t stop you straight away, as I myself have wondered.

I thought long and hard about this point over the following days as to why I didn’t, and as you have been good enough to be honest with me, so I feel I ought to be honest with you.

Like you, I too have felt the attraction between us… and yes…if I think about it, it stems from the first time we met. Indeed I remember thinking even then, what a good catch you were for my daughter. And that’s just the point Andy. The bigger part of why it is so wrong.

Yes you are right when you say we none of us can help how we might feel towards another person but regardless of how I might feel towards you, or you towards me we both know we need to bury these feelings for, you are married to my daughter and I have no wish to jeopardise my marriage to Mike.

I realise from all you have said in your mail how hard this will be for you, but equally it is going to be every bit as hard for me now that I know of your feelings.

Now more than ever I know I should have rejected you that day Andy but aware of our attraction, having often wondered how it would feel to hold you in my arms, the simple fact is, I was far too aroused to do so. And as for the way you kissed me, what can I say? It took my breath away! I can honestly say I have never before felt so aroused from just a kiss!!

But as much as I enjoyed those few moments, you are right Andy. It’s wrong and we have to think of the consequences. We can’t allow it to happen again in view of all that would be at stake.

I do hope now you have read my mail you are feeling a little better about yourself Andy. Just remember, as wrong as you thought you were…I was equally to blame.

Love Ann


Dear Ann,

Thank you so much for your response to my mail and of course for accepting my apology. I would hate to think what I tried would have caused a huge rift between us. I don’t think I could have ever gotten over that had that been the case. I just hope you didn’t feel the need to tell Mike what happened?

You are of course right…it would be foolish to even begin to think we could have a relationship…..I guess we will have to put that down to wishful thinking on my part….However, you can’t begin to know how pleased I was to read in your mail that you too have held feelings for me.

I’m tempted to ask what form these feelings have taken Ann. If they might be like mine where I have lain in bed having so many erotic fantasies about you?

I know I shouldn’t be dwelling on this Ann but feel you knowing how aroused you get me may go some way to explain why I tried what I did that day.

So many times I’ve laid in bed at night thinking about you… and without fail Ann the thoughts I have about you always cause me to stir…to grow hard…. It sounds awful even to admit to that Ann, and I am sure it is not something you wanted to hear, the truth is I can’t help it. It’s how it’s always been when I have thoughts of you.

That Tuesday, seeing you dressed in that sexy cream top.Is it any wonder, the way it caresses that body of yours, I became instantly aroused, and while a part of me regrets what I did…another part is always going to cherish how good it felt to finally have you in my arms…to savour those sexy full lips of yours.

Hmmm! I shouldn’t say this but even now I can taste that lipstick of yours on my lips….As for feeling those beautiful breasts in my hands Ann….They felt every bit as good as my imagination suggested.

It also didn’t help reading your mail. Yes of course I was more than a little pleased you responded but I never expected to hear what you had to say. The idea you too have felt the attraction causes me to become aroused even now.

Oh dear! I am sorry Ann….I know that’s not what you wanted to hear…and yes you are quite right when you say we have to bring a close to this matter.

Once again… thank you for your response. I shall be able to rest easy now knowing when I see you next we can still be friends….

xxxx Andy



Dear Andy

Please don’t be so silly.
