The police were really easily convinced, as the dead man was not someone they wished to preserve. Privately they were glad to a man that the small man had somehow managed to do away with one of their current headaches.
The press was a different matter. They wanted to make heroes of the two, which horrified both of them. That type of publicity they did not need. They hadn't been able to rid themselves of the last reporter until after 2AM.
Alone at last, Ed had broken down in tears. Andrew had held her in his arms the rest of the night. The first thing on Andrew's agenda the next morning was contacting a therapist, reputedly the best in the city, to begin helping Ed immediately. The man they contacted turned out to be a devotee of Haydn, and would have been willing to forego his fee to treat the woman he considered to be the greatest living performer of Haydn's piano works.
Over the next several months Andrew found Ed clinging to him, afraid to go out without her husband accompanying her. To an outsider the sudden loss of independent action may sound irritating, but Andrew seemed to grow with his wife's need of him. Instead of resenting it, he welcomed the closeness.
With direction from the therapist, Ed learned to channel her need to healthy love for her man. In both the long and the short run, the marriage was strengthened. As were both man and wife in unexpected ways.
Having been exposed to the horrors and unexpected and unwanted wonders of rough sex, rough love she developed a deeper understanding of the human passion. She lost her fear of losing herself in passion having learned the human being, maybe most specifically the human female actually thrived on it. As much as she hated Sean and his actions, she learned a deeper understanding of her own capacity for passion. Before her next scheduled world tour, Ed had steeped herself in Mozart's and Beethoven's piano music. She was well on her way to gaining immanence as an interpreter of those two, whose passion so much contrasted to her already profound knowledge of Haydn. Her concerts became a wondrous experience and where they had been well attended, they soon seemed to have to fight off crowds of admirers where ever she played.
Andrew emerged from the trial with a sudden and until now unknown self-confidence. Before he had been the shy genius recluse, he now found himself enjoying consulting with his peers, few though they were. His impact on the arcane world of mathematics had been felt before, now it was earth moving.
When Ed next went on concert tour, her husband accompanied her. They became inseparable wherever they went. And Andrew enjoyed meeting his colleagues during the day, and attending Ed's concerts in the evening.
And the passion in their love seemed reborn, also. Both had seen the latent passion Ed held within her, both had seen the horror rape was to this wisp of a woman. Somehow Andrew was able to grow to dominate in their love making, while maintaining his gentleness and care for his lovers well being.
When children came, they were blessed with their parents, and the love in the family.

Anonymousover 1 year agoA superb piece of writing that has provoked some surprisingly intelligent comments from the Literotica readership.

AngelRiderabout 2 years agoIt was suggested that I read this story because despite the subject matter involved (which I rarely read willingly) they wanted my honest opinion about the end comments about passion, dominance and women.
The notion that all women like it rough, that dominant sex is required to unleash voracious uninhibited female sexual desire is a major reason why women are not believed when it comes to rape let alone prosecute the men who perpetuate. Women have always been viewed as needing to be controlled less our base instincts take over and we seek carnal pleasure at the expense of all else. Funny how the focus is always on female behavior while ignoring that men are 50% of the equation. Men have always viewed themselves as the superior gender, natural leaders, better equipped for careers, more knowledgeable in hard science, math and more creative . And yet what is the excuse when questioned on all matters of sex, consensual or otherwise, it was "her fault. I couldn't resist" lies and more lies just like the notion that all women need domination and ultimately enjoy rough sex..
Why? Because society had always and continually equated sex with violence. The evidence that this notion persists is found in all forms of modern entertainment; literature, movies, television and music. Listen to any hip hop Spotify list, radio station etc. Sexual domination of women is also used in marketing and commercialization of product. Go look at any number of Dolce Gabbana advertisement photography. They have made millions through ads displaying thinly veiled rape imagery. This isnt just a male problem or belief. Though it's deeply misogynistic to believe all women are ultimately driven sexually by a desire to be dominated, the romance novel industry has made a fortune selling this idea.
Look at this site alone. This category has more stories than all others besides Erotic Couplings, Incest and Loving Wives. Even in those categories we will find themes if sexual violence as an arousing factor. At its base (and this will piss people off as much as my argument here) the entire interracial cuckolding fetish is based upon the belief that black men are inherently more dangerous and thus, better endowed and better able to provide sexual pleasure. It's true that there are varied reasons why some men fantasize about and actively seek/engage in watching their wives with others. For some, the emotions of arousal and excitement coupled with shame and humiliation is the driving factor. For others, they view the act as one of dominance where they are forcing the wife to submit to men with prowess. Both of these groups may use black men as "bulls" for the reasons I identified. Sometimes it's subconscious and other times it's a conscious belief that the bull is only good for fucking and pose no threat because they are simply not equal to the husband. I am sure there may be nonracist cuckolds and hotwives/stags and vixens out there but I wouldn't bet money.
Lastly, I want to address this category. It's true that some women have fantasy about dominance, reluctance up to and including rape. Some women fantasize about those moments because society has taught them to be ashamed about sexual desire. Being forced is a free pass because it isn't their fault. Some women are absolutely aroused by aggression and dominance. In no way do I suggest otherwise but that ALL women need rough sex and ALL women will respond is deeply offensive. It's spitting in the face of rape victims, people I see every single day. None of them wanted to be raped. None of them enjoyed it. None of them felt unlocked or have a better understanding of passion. Do you have any idea how disgusting that idea is? Being raped makes someone better because they have a greater understanding of passion?
I know this story was written ages ago but I posted my reply here because maybe others will read it and consider their preconceived notions. I am of the opinion that this entire category should be deleted. So many of these stories are nothing more than male rape fantasy and have nothing to do with why some women have fantasy of nonconsent. That the rule is merely "the victim has to enjoy it" is meaningless. That overt and unashamed racism is allowed here is also problematic but clearly the owners do not care. Whatever they make is clearly not going back into the business considering this site is more dated than my grandmothers plastic covered furniture.
Anyway, sorry this was so long. This is an involved topic. It's a narrative that has been dominated by men for far too long.
So why is it bullshit? Why is the notion that all women or even most women secretly crave rough sex, big strong huge dominant men with 10" swinging dicks? Because society has continually equated sex with violence throught civilization. It's present in all forms of modern engertai
Sarahwithloveabout 3 years agoIt's weird. On one hand the descriptive techniques employed in her seduction were mesmerizing; perhaps even slightly hypnotic. And yet at the same time, I am appalled by the rape and the ridiculous pleasure claimed by such a vile act. Just like Edwina. Bravo! Absolutely fucking brilliant.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoits strange how ed was a cellist at the beginning of the story and a pianist at the end
Anonymousover 4 years agoWhat trial? Ed and Andrew were on trial? Confusing to say the least. Readers don't automatically survey their definitions of trial before setting on the one the author seems to have implied. Two stars off for misdirection. Otherwise ok.
