**Under the Stars**
The summer was winding down and autumn was approaching. Mike and Beth had been planning a week together for the past few months. The couple met on an online affairs forum. Both had been in long marriages that had drifted into partnerships without passion. As luck would have it, Mike’s employer had a conference in the same area where Beth lived and they arranged to rent a cabin near a state park where they could be secluded and enjoy the time they had with each other.
“It’s beautiful.” Beth stated when suggesting the park to Mike. “I used to camp here as a kid and I come back every summer.” Beth’s family had already visited earlier that summer and, during that time, Beth took an opportunity to book another cabin in a secluded portion of the park.
The two had been looking forward to this trip for some time. Their heated messages and phone calls had only intensified the desire each had for the other. Neither one had made love to their spouse in over a year and the passion felt between them was now at a boiling point.
