April could not stop herself from thinking about what Jenny had said to her. Not even later that night as she made love to her husband.
She lay on her back with her legs open and welcoming, allowing Howard to do his thing to her. She appropriately responded to his kisses whenever he sought her lips. She conceived perfunctory moans as he thrust in and out of her under the covers; everything she did felt mechanical. She gripped his arms as the moment came when she felt him tense on top of her and his body gave a tense tremor then seconds later, he ejaculated inside her pussy. They remained locked in each other's arms for a while exhaled tensely as they are breathing soon adjusted before he then rolled off her. April reached for a roll of tissue on her bedside desk and cut a handful which she then used to wipe herself with it and then got up and went into the bathroom and disposed it in the toilet before returning to bed. They switched off their bedside lamp and huddled under the covers facing each other. April later turned over to lie on her back and almost forgot that Howard was awake until she felt his hand touch hers under the covers.
"Something on your mind, honey?" he asked.
"No, nothing really . . . I don't know, for sure."
"Don't look like it. Your face looks like you've got plenty on your mind. Anything the matter?"
She turned to face him, and he then brought his arm to her shoulder and drew her closer. She inhaled the foul, musky smell of semen and sweat oozing off his skin. She so much loved that smell . . . and yet she could not help speculating if it would be the same coming from some other man.
"Do you love me, Howard?"
"Why would you ask that? You know I love you."
I'd like to ask you something," she pulled back a little to look at him better. "Do you think I'm sexy?"
He smiled. "Where're you going with this, April?"
"I don't know. I sort of feel like I'm becoming too much of a mother and a housewife, I want to know if I've still . . . you know, if I've still got it in me. If I'm still sexy to you. Or say you and I were never married, if you'd still find me sexy now as when we first met."
"You're always sexy to me, April. Don't go putting crazy stuff in your head thinking you're not. Don't ever let anything make you think otherwise."
She nodded solemnly then rested her face on his chest. "I can't help wanting something more," she grumbled. "Haven't you felt like that before? That maybe what you have isn't enough?"
"We all want something more, darling," Howard said. "Best thing is letting it come to you instead of forcing it. It all works out fine in the end."
April barely knew when she fell asleep. She usually did not dream but this night was an exception. The dream felt real and it stunned her more when she awoke in the morning to find that she still remembered parcels of it. She had found herself in a room naked surrounded by multitude of black men, all them naked as well. There was no one besides her and the men—Jenny was not there with her. The men advanced towards her, their features expressionless like zombies, all of them sporting hard-ons. They came to her and began groping; caressing and squeezing every aspect of her body . . . and surprisingly in the dream, she liked it.
April is starting to address some inner conflict about herself. This is a revealing part of the story, showcasing how indept her character is with her thoughts and emotions. Especially reciving some validation from her husband.
