Unbidden
Epilogue
Epilogue
The fantasies retreated after that. They didn’t go away, and Judith suspected that they never would. But now she could distinguish them from reality, and—for the most part—decide when to entertain them and when to put them aside.
Her husband, Ethan, was exhausted when she and the kids picked him up at the airport the next day, a Saturday. He had fought to stay awake during the flight, partly to do paperwork and partly to overcome the effects of the six-hour time difference between Geneva and New York. So when they finally got home, and he kissed his kids goodnight and went to bed, he was asleep the moment his head touched the pillow.
But the next morning, when Ethan woke up at five A.M., Judith was awake, too, even though the sun was only giving the faintest signs of preparing to rise.
“Morning,” she said, yawning and stretching her body long until her hands grabbed the bedstead. She was wearing a short, lacy white nightie through which the contour of her body was readily apparent.
“Morning,” Ethan answered with an appreciative smile. “This is the one good thing about going away; it really makes you appreciate what you have at home. Wanna fool around?”
“Hmm,” Judith said. “I’m not sure I’m in the mood.” Then, with mock innocence, she said, “You might have to make me.”
Ethan looked at her slyly. “Is this your way of trying to get me to bribe you with Swiss chocolate?”
She looked at him, suddenly serious as a red flush of sexual arousal bloomed on her chest.
“No,” she said. “This is my way of getting you to rape me.”
His eyes narrowed, then widened, then returned to their normal size. But now there was a spark in them.
“Then spread ‘em, bitch,” he growled, and leaped on her.

I hope you enjoyed this story. If you are kind enough to leave a review, I will respond to it here: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/55777-george-glass-review-responses-original-fiction/
Also, I should mention that most people with schizophrenia are not dangerous. I used it here mainly to explain why Aunt Miriam was never seen again after she abused Judith and David. This is also why the story is set in the early 1980s—the tail end of the era when it was not uncommon for people with serious, intractable mental illness to be institutionalized for life.
Thanks for reading.
