In Islamic law, this act is prohibited [haram]. You must repent, regret and determine not to do that again.

In Islam, the marital relationship between spouses is based on permissibility which is controlled by chastity and piety. Based on this, all forms of sexual pleasure are permissible provided there is mutual agreement between the spouses and there is nothing brings harm to either of them, except for anal sex and intercourse during menses and post natal bleeding.
