Tomorrow’s a New Day

This is a work of fiction. The legal proceedings although based on Scottish Courts rules have been changed in places to suit the narrative so don’t use them for your own divorce.

This is the story of how man was badly wronged but ended up far better off. The culprits not so well.

There is no gory BTB nor an RAAC.

My life went from shit to a fucking bourach (Scots — truly massive fucking mess) as I walked past the conference room. I saw that Bill was showing pictures from the wedding he had attended yesterday on the big screen. What caught my attention was in the background. My nemesis Darren Bryant with his arm around my wife Judith’s waist as they headed to the hotel behind. Bill knew Judith so he knew what was going on. No one had said anything to me about this. Some friends and colleagues!

From the group’s laughter, I surmised they all saw it and already knew. Not only that it was old news. I didn’t stop. If they saw me, they never let on. I brushed aside the thought that they had seen me and were laughing at me. I learned later that was the fucking truth!

Donald Harvey our manager kept having me cover for Bryant. I had had to cover yet again for him that afternoon. Harvey had my holiday cancelled because Bryant had an urgent course. Judith went on her own. Or as it now struck me, did she?

The rest of the afternoon, I didn’t do any actual work, I plotted to get my revenge on my cheating wife, that bastard and my so-called colleagues. I wouldn’t work here a moment longer than I had too. I went to HR and asked about my notice period and annual leave. I knew I had at least seven weeks due me. It appeared that Harvey hadn’t cancelled my leave. I showed Stella his email cancelling it and why. She just looked at me with sadness. Even she fucking knew!

I was utterly pissed off. I went through everything with her and her neighbour, the financial controller. I am supremely organised. It makes my work much easier. Maybe it’s right I suffer from OCD! I have a record of all my work and expenses. I was able to prove Harvey was falsifying records to stop payments to me which were then paid to Bryant. By the end, they were able to confirm I was due nine weeks three days annual leave. I was due in excess of £17000 which had been paid to Bryant. Stella printed everything off. I copied those as I didn’t trust anyone anymore.

My notice period was twelve weeks due to my specialist skills. I went back to my desk and wrote out my resignation. I didn’t give it to Harvey who I just glared at until he was really uncomfortable. I had always been compliant; my only complaints were when I had to cover for Bryant. I went to see the CEO, David Bennett, one of the family who owned the company. His secretary told me he was busy. I told her I needed to see him urgently. If I didn’t, I would be seeing a lawyer. She was very surprised with my tone. This was a different me.

She spoke to him again. He told her he would be free in twenty minutes and for me to come back then. I could tell by his tone something was off. Later as I thought about it he was trying not to laugh.

I came back and he kept me waiting. Ten minutes later he let me in.

There was no handshake, sorry about the wait.

“Well, Adam what’s got you so riled up?” he smirked.

I was actually calm which surprised me. “Here’s my resignation. I have been shat upon enough. I have had my leave cancelled allegedly for the firm’s benefit. Everyone laughs behind my back as Darren Bryant fucks my wife as I have to cover his jobs for him as he does it. Harvey falsifies the pay sheets, so Bryant is paid for my work so you’re due me over £17000.

“You’ll see those accounts there. With my annual leave, despite Harvey trying to give it to Bryant, I have just over two weeks to work. I’ll work them but I won’t cover for Bryant, he can get fucked. He might have a very serious accident.”

Bennett was not only quiet, but he was also gloating. His face showed his delight in what I was feeling. “You didn’t know Bryant was fucking your wife, did you? Man, you’re fucking blind. He boasts about it every fucking time. I’ll sort out your money now fuck off out of here!”

Well, I knew where I stood. I’ll have two weeks to get my revenge on all the cunts here, especially Bryant. I came out of that office and his secretary about shit herself. If I had been mad before my face said I was looking for trouble.

I went back to my desk. I could see others watching me but no one came to me. They had never seen an angry me before. I finished on time. Harvey had had me use my personal phone for work to save the firm money as my phone could have two sim cards. I took out the company one and left it on my desk. I wasn’t giving them a second more than I had to. As I left, I saw some watching me like I was a stranger.

Bill enquired, “You’re leaving on time for once Adam. What’s up?”

“I’ve an appointment,” I said brusquely. I carried on walking.

Thursday evening was late night, even the banks are open. I went in and saw the assistant and opened new accounts in my name only. When she showed me the balance on the joint account, I had with Judith it was very low. I could see missing payments. I asked why it hadn’t been topped up from her account as it had been set up to. Judith had cancelled her mandate ten months ago. The girl apologised as she wasn’t supposed to have told me. I told her it was okay; I wouldn’t report her.

The anger I felt was growing. I left the bank and headed home. I needed to think and plan.

I should tell you a little about me. I’m Adam Halliday, 29, okay looking. I keep myself fit by heading to the gym three or so nights a week and do a bit of running. I’m a mechanical engineer with high end electrical and computer skills who solves large machine malfunctions. I work on those extremely expensive computerised machines which many local maintenance staff don’t have the specialised skills for. As a result, I often have to travel. I suppose I’m one of those you never see, always in the background. I never shove myself forward, just do the job bloody well.

I do get taken as a fool as you’ve read. I’m not. I’m just conscientious and made the fucking mistake of trusting a whore and my work colleagues. I had wanted our company to do well. I’ll help anyone apart from Darren Bryant who I can’t stand ever since our childhood paths crossed. I can’t describe him as an arsehole as arseholes have a use.

Judith had been treating me like something nasty she’d trod on for a long time. Now I knew why. I had tried to speak with her but she always managed to avoid actually speaking with me. She was used to getting her own way. At first I allowed it because I loved her and wanted to see her happy but recently it was only to avoid her sharp tongue. I realise it sounds like I’m a spineless wimp but I always wanted her to have what she wanted. I thought that was what love was about, making the other happy. Obviously not in her world!

Once I was home, I went into my office. I often worked from home as there are less interruptions. We fortunately didn’t have children so I had converted one room. Tonight, I was going to work on the most important plan of my life. To set the scene, had Judith had a short affair with anyone else, I may have allowed her to persuade me to have counselling to try to repair the damage and rebuild our marriage, however improbable. (I had been trying to tie her down to discuss our marital problems but she was always too busy.)

However, she knew I detested Bryant with my every breath, so this was non-fixable. It was a deliberate act designed to fucking hurt me. The fact it was him was more hurtful than her fucking someone else and that was hurtful enough!

After the revelation in the bank. I checked all the bank statements going back two years. I copied the relevant transactions into an Excel file. I went through the credit card account and did likewise. I checked the payments to that hotel against my work schedule and found they were meeting six to ten a month at least. Many on days I had covered for Bryant at other sites. I’m sure they laughed that I was paying for them to fuck. I hoped he paid some of the time but knowing him I doubted it.

Even today, I had been headed to one of his jobs when I received a call cancelling as they had had to self-isolate due to a Covid outbreak at the factory. Without that I wouldn’t have been in the office to see that photo. I had covered for Bryant the previous day as well. There were quite a few transactions when Judith was on the holiday Harvey had forced me to cancel going on.

One was for a photographer. With the time difference, I thought he may be at work. I called and told the receptionist who I was. I apologised but “we’d had a fire and lost the photos he took. Would he still have them on record?”

The receptionist checked the records and they did. If she printed and posted them to me, it would cost me but if she emailed them, I could print them myself or have a firm do that. I thanked her and had her email me, easier for both of us, as international postage can be difficult.

I opened a file for all the information I was collating. The photos confirmed my suspicions, Bryant’s course was in fucking my wife at my expense!

One of Judith’s indulgences is to have the latest car. She leases them. Last year she forgot (like fuck she did) her driver’s licence and bank cards, so everything was put in my name. No surprise she hadn’t made any payments for the car. The lease is up in two months. I thought that was great. I’ll use “my car” for the next two months but won’t renew the lease.

I needed access to her account. When we married, she wanted to keep her own account so she wouldn’t have to explain to me how she spent her money. She works with an advertising agency. So, we agreed to keep our own and pay into the joint account for household things, council tax, food, utilities, holidays etc.

I changed all my access passwords to my computer, my phone and the safe. I checked that the prenuptial agreement insisted on by Judith’s father was still there. I copied it and stored it in my new file. I gave it a technical name which Judith would assume was work if she managed to get my log in details. The file itself received another access password. I put all the documents I would need including this file in a vault on the cloud as well, using a VPN to cover my tracks, so I had access to a copy of everything whenever I needed it. I use a key generator so no mum 1 or mum 2 for me.

I tallied up all the money Judith owed me; it came to just over £47000. She or rather I had been paying for that hotel room for fourteen months. The holiday alone came in at £11000. We had a joint savings account with £105000 in it. It was supposed to be to extend this house, my idea as it has large rooms and a big plot. Plenty of room for our kids to play when she felt able to have them. We had talked of having kids before marriage but not long after she changed to become more career orientated. If I didn’t like it tough shit!

Why had I put up with her shit so fucking long I kept asking myself?

She wanted to buy a rabbit hatch in a posh estate. I refused which really fucking annoyed her. Probably one of the few times I dug my heels in. Hence the house fund hadn’t been used. She hadn’t added to it either for a year. I’d added £6000. Looking at her wishes now, if we had moved her name would be on the property. My home would have paid a big chunk of the cost. She could have demanded a share of that new house when we divorce. A lucky escape!

I transferred the £105000 to my new account. If she complained, I would say her share was covered by her debt to me. When I completed all the movements of money necessary, I cancelled the joint account debit and credit cards.

I know now I should have paid attention to the accounts but Judith did all that. Why the fuck did I trust her especially given the way she treats me?

Judith wasn’t home by the time I finished so I put a pizza in the oven. If no one called Bryant, she wouldn’t know I knew. If she didn’t come home, they had.

I was just about finished the pizza when she arrived. To say she was shocked would be mild. She gasped, “I thought you were in the office!”

I smiled, “I had an appointment and left my phone there. No big deal.”

She relaxed, “I have already eaten, I’m heading for a shower,” as she almost ran to our room. I could hazard a guess why!

I waited until I heard the shower going. She had dropped her handbag on the table as she came in, as usual. I opened it and took her purse and phone out. I logged in to the computer on her account. I used her bank card to operate the card reader to gain access to her accounts. She had the ones I knew about, but she also had two accounts with over £100000 in each. I copied all those to my file. I downloaded the contents of her emails. I opened her phone; she uses the same pin on all her devices and likewise sent copies of the texts and calls to my file. I replaced everything in her handbag and was sitting having a cup of tea when she came down.

She was dressed quite dowdy in comparison to her “working clothes.”

I decided to wind her up, “I’m not worth glamming up even a little bit for!”

She just looked at me in her usual disdainful way, “I’m too tired maybe another night.”

I laughed, “Yeah, why not, it’s only been twelve months since you allowed me access to your body. I think we’re headed for a divorce or I may get an annulment as you’re still a virgin.”

She stared at me, looking for what was behind what I had said. She was not happy. I didn’t care.

I continued, “Bill was showing the photos from the wedding yesterday in the office when I came in.”

She looked at me, “I wouldn’t think you’d be interested.”

“I wasn’t. What’s that Marion’s third wedding? Maybe she’ll keep her legs shut this time for anyone other than the mug who married her!”

She looked really closely at me. “What a nasty thing to say! I’ve never heard you speak about someone like that before.”

I added, “I heard she got up to some mischief on her hen night. You went, spill the beans.”

She was angry, “You shouldn’t listen to gossip. It was uneventful.”

I fired another arrow, “That’s not what the water cooler gossips were saying. I hope she and the others involved got STD tested.”

Judith stormed off to the bedroom slamming the door shut. I had hit a nerve I thought.

I went back to my office and studied up on the divorce laws. The good news was that I owned the house prior to us being married so she had no claim on that. Normally assets would be divided 50-50 in the event of no children. Which was good as her two large accounts were in my favour. Alimony could be set if one earned more than the spouse. The prenuptial agreement set out changes to the standard settlement on the grounds of adultery. No alimony would be granted against the innocent party. No claim on other assets such as a car. All costs to be borne by the adulterer.

I was glad her father had insisted on it.

I knew I needed further proof as Judith, Bennett and Bryant would deny everything. In the morning I would call an old friend Danny who’s a local plumber. He often worked at that hotel. When we met in the pub his stories about the things he had recovered from the toilets there kept everyone amused. I was now thinking some of those knickers were probably Judith’s.

I went to bed in the guest room. I wasn’t going to give the ice maiden any chance of melting.

The next morning I went to work and off to a job, one of my own. I had suspected from Judith’s comment, “I thought you were in the office” my phone was bugged. I had checked my sim card but found no tracker was on it. When I put the work sim card in, I found it hidden as the internet described. I bought a £20 phone and put the company sim card in it. I would leave that phone at work.

On my way to the job, I called Danny. I explained what Judith and Bryant were up to. Danny hates Bryant as well. Bryant was the school bully until I beat the shit out of him. The next time, he would be gendered reassigned.

Danny was heading to the hotel that day so would have some news for me later. He had an idea about evidence.

I was back in the office by 4pm. The job had gone smoothly for a change. I went to the finance department and gave them my new account details. I left strict instructions that no one was to be given those details. My tone surprised the girls.

I left bang on 5pm. Danny called and suggested we have a pint later so I agreed to meet at 8 in our local.

Judith wasn’t home so I made myself some dinner and settled in front of the television. She came in about 7.30 again surprised to see me.

I told her, “I’m heading out, have a hot date with a nymphomaniac, may see you on Monday!”

She just looked at me. She smiled, “She’s in for a disappointment then!”

I laughed, “Maybe she’ll be interested in me rather than just herself!” I walked away before I wet myself. She was mad. A bullseye. She liked several orgasms at least but her foreplay was a couple of strokes to get me hard and then tell me to get on with it. Well at least as far back as my memory goes.

I was really beginning to see how my life was about to change for the better.

Danny had the pints in and we sat in a corner away from others.

“Adam, you don’t deserve this. You’re a stand-up guy, help anyone. No one at your work bothered to tell you. Fuck them!

“Bryant is hated by many. You remember Kate Duncan. He used to pull her hair and call her names at school. She works at the hotel. She’s single, very cute with a body you dream out. She’d never entertain a married man like me. I told her about them and you.

“She still has the hots for you for some reason. Oh yeah! You caught Bryant yanking her off the bench by her hair and beat the crap out of him. I’d never seen you angry before but that day, you looked like nothing would stop you. If he had tried to hide behind a brick wall, you’d have gone through it to get him. No one tried to stop you as we all wanted Bryant beaten up.

“They are booked in next week, Wednesday and Thursday. She’ll make sure they get a particular room. We’ll have a video camera hidden in it to capture them. After they’re finished, I’ll have an emergency call to deal with the room’s blocked toilet. I’ll take the camera away and give you the SD card. It’s so small it fits in the smoke alarm which covers the bed.”

I told him, “I owe you both.”

He smiled, “No, this is what he deserves. I thought Judith had more sense.”

We had a couple more beers and I headed home.

When I came in, Judith laughed, “Did you disappoint her?”

I shook my head, “When she saw how big I am she was scared. The last man she had, had such a little dick, Darren bloody Bryant, would you believe that? I always knew he had a little dick.”

Judith was blushing. She was trying to see where I was going with this. She looked concerned. I thought I’d better dial back a bit, I needed them to go ahead with their rendezvous.

In the morning, she suggested we head to the car dealership to look for a new car as the lease was close to ending.

“Don’t you mean my new car? It’s all in my name and you haven’t paid a penny towards it. We can go and I’ll tell them I’m handing it back when it expires.”

She looked totally gobsmacked. She left without waiting for me. She was back fifteen minutes later.

“My debit and credit cards aren’t working. What have you done?” she screamed.

I replied calmly, “I was checking the account because I was sure I had paid an invoice but I got a letter asking for it to be paid. I saw you haven’t paid anything into the household account for a year. I’m not subsiding your lifestyle when you treat me like shit. I cancelled the cards. Use your fucking own!”

She was even madder. I had very seldom sworn at her. “It must be a bank mistake,” she almost screamed.

“No, they showed me the instruction from you cancelling the mandate. No fucking mistake.”

“How!” she screamed.

“I called them to find out why because I thought it was a mistake. Turns out the mistake was me trusting you with our finances.”

I thought she was going to explode. That bedroom door hinges and the frame took another pounding.

We didn’t speak the rest of the weekend. I did cut the grass and tidied the garden. I painted the decking by our bedroom as the smell of decking paint makes her ill!

On Monday at work, I caught up on my paperwork. I also composed emails to all my clients explaining why I would no longer be working at Bennett’s beyond my official date of leaving. I would be looking for employment after that date. Several had tried to poach me but my sense of loyalty (okay I’ll add stupidity) meant I never pursued any change. I would send them just before I left. I had them access password protected so no one would know. I changed all my work codes.

Harvey wasn’t in the office. I felt cheated. I had expected him to come at me about resigning and him cheating me out of my money. I was looking for any opportunity to put him through his desk and rearrange his body parts.

I headed out for an appointment with my solicitor. I have known Dawn since school. I explained the circumstances. I needed a new will. If something happened to me I didn’t want anything to go to Judith.

Dawn quickly drew up a will detailing why I was changing it so any attempt to overturn it in court would have the reason in front of them. The house I was going to leave to my nephew and niece, my sister’s children. This would really annoy Judith as my sister hates her guts. They have a small house so it allowed them to move to the house but the title stays with the children. I don’t like her husband. It started with the way he looked at Judith as though he wanted to fuck her. Maybe he knows she fucks around. If I left it to my sister he could argue for half in any divorce although inheritance isn’t part of a marital estate.

Judith was legally entitled to a percentage share of the cash until the divorce but Dawn showed me ways to reduce the money classed as cash.

When we had finished the details she would have her secretary type it all up. If I came back later that afternoon, I could sign it and it would be witnessed and notarised.

I did and it was duly signed. Dawn started on about the divorce. I told her what I thought and she said she would help me, mates’ rates. She hated Bryant as well. I don’t think anyone from school had a good word to say about him. I admit I would have gone to his funeral but only to help load him in the crematorium oven. If he was buried I’d dance on his grave and piss on it.

I explained everything which had happened at Bennett’s, the holiday and the hotel. I hoped to have video of them this week and when I had I was going to throw the slut out.

I told her about the contents on Judith’s phone. The texts between her and Bryant were about the sex they planned and how I was a cuckold, a loser. Judith was just as bad as him demeaning me. The emails showed Harvey, Bennett and Bryant concocting the story so Bryant could go on holiday with Judith at my fucking expense. They had all had a bloody good laugh at that.

Dawn said to email her everything. She would have the divorce paperwork drawn up. She would also have papers drawn up to take Bennett and co. to court for various illegal employment acts.

She knew someone to serve Judith either at our home or her work. I laughed. Dawn looked at me.

“If their Wednesday tryst is filmed, can we serve it as they leave the room on Thursday?”

Dawn laughed, “I never knew you had this vindictive streak in you. It’s brilliant.”

Danny and Kate placed the camera. It caught them. I watched a bit of it. I was right he did have a little penis. Judith did things which she told me were perverse. She gave him a blowjob or rather she had his little dick in her mouth and almost tried to play with it. It was so small it kept falling out. She always complained my penis was too big for her mouth. He fucked her doggie style. I thought she looked like she was working out her shopping list. She never noticed when he came. I don’t think she felt him in her. She didn’t believe in kegel exercising apparently.

If they spoke it was only to demean me. Bryant got off on the fact I’d tried to seduce her that week according to Judith but she refused. She said I was acting weird but Bryant never enlightened her as to me knowing about them.

Kate had downloaded the contents to Danny who emailed them to me. Kate had put the camera back for the second tryst.

Dawn lodged the papers with the court on Thursday morning and received the court document later that morning. She’d asked as a favour. It appears Bryant is not liked anywhere. As they left the hotel room that afternoon a Sheriff’s Officer served the papers on Judith. She was screaming and crying. Who cares not me!

On Dawn’s instruction he removed the house and car keys from her key fob.

I had left work early that day. I packed all her clothes in black bin bags and left them by the front door for her to collect. I retained her engagement ring as that was a family heirloom and the bloody expensive diamond earrings, bracelet and necklace set she just had to have on our honeymoon. I included all her paper files. I was conscientious, I placed all her dirty laundry in a bag marked, “whore’s slimy knickers.”

My house phone went and the caller id showed her parents. I answered.

Her dad shouted down the line, “What the fuck have you!” as I put the phone down. He called again and started the same. I put the phone down again. Six times we did this dance until her sister Janine called.

She at least was trying to speak, “Adam, can you tell us what has happened? Judith is a mess; we cannot understand what she is saying. She said something about a divorce. What’s gone wrong?”

I took a slow breath, “Janine, Judith has treated me like shit for at least a year. Nothing I did was right. It turns out she’s been having an affair with Darren fucking Bryant for the last fourteen, fifteen months. I’ve just found out about it. There is a lot more but we’re done. You can come and pick up her stuff. The door locks have been changed. I’ll enforce the prenup your dad wanted to protect his slut.”

When I said that all you could hear was him screaming at me. I put the phone down.

Janine arrived an hour later on her own. She had brought their big car. I helped her put all the stuff in it. She asked and I explained more to her.

She shook her head, “She always was a stupid, selfish cow. She had a great guy in you and threw it away for a low life like Bryant. He’s not fit to tie your shoelaces. I’m so sorry for you.”

After they had left the hotel, Danny retrieved the video camera, so we had two days of evidence. He gave me the video camera at Dawn’s request.

I collected the car from the hotel car park and had an early night. Tomorrow at work would be interesting.

Before I entered the main office, I went to the kitchen and placed some chocolates in the box. Okay a lot of nice looking chocolates. There are a lot of sweet toothed people in that office. Pity I had changed the contents; they were laxative chocolates, highly explosive ones. I paid a visit to the toilets. I opened the condom machine and poured some light powder containing both an itchy and a chilli component. The toilet seats were dusted as well. I included the toilet paper and paper towel dispensers. I did the ladies as well. I laughed when I thought of them putting their condoms on or tampon in. It was my second choice but I had never worked at or near the factory where you passed a massive plot of poison ivy in the days preceding. I would have preferred using that to get my own back.

I walked into the office and it was obvious everyone knew about what had happened the day before. They looked shocked I would do something like that. They shared that but not that Bryant was fucking my wife with me. I opened my email and sent the emails to my clients before deleting the record. I expected today to be my last day. I used a programme to wipe my computer’s free space of anything which might still be recoverable.

Bennett came out of his office with Harvey and Bryant. All were mad.

Bennett screamed, “Why couldn’t you leave things as they were cuckold? You’re a fucking loser. Why divorce? No one wants a loser like you!”

Bryant smirked, “Why have you raised your divorce as adultery naming me? You’re just admitting to the world you’re a fucking cuckold. She needed a real man.”

I laughed at that. It pissed him off even more.

He went on, “You could just have said irreconcilable differences. It makes no difference.”

I spoke calmly but loud enough everyone heard, “It names this cunt here for a reason. Every place he works at will watch him. Every woman he looks at will know he will fuck around on them. It means the divorce goes through in weeks not a year.

“I’m not a fucking loser. I trusted some fucking cunts and got screwed. Rest assured I’ll get my own back. There is always tomorrow. You are just twisted fucking bastards.”

Bennett shouted, “You can clear off now. Don’t expect a reference or the money you say you’re owed.”

I handed him a letter from Dawn. I was wearing the little video camera which caught them so I had evidence of him receiving it.

I spoke slowly to them but loudly so everyone would here. “It’s a complaint about workplace bullying, theft and harassment involving soliciting prostitution for little Bryant here with the so small penis we had to use a magnifier to find it. Judith never even felt it. He was so small he couldn’t even keep it in her mouth.

“I have all your emails, texts, arranging him to take my place on that holiday.”

I turned to the onlookers, “All you knew and not one had the decency to tell me. Never fucking attempt to speak to me again. You’re the lowest scum on earth. This place is a cesspool. How many more are covering others fucking so called friends and colleagues wives or husbands?” I saw some of these words hit a mark with a few.

“I wouldn’t want a reference from here. When this come out in court, who will use Bennett’s?”

I looked Bryant in the eye and smiled my best evil grin, “Till we meet again little dick!”

He shit himself.

I walked away. The rage on Bennett’s face was a joy to behold. I almost expected to hear him collapse to the floor with a major stroke, not fatal, but hopefully enough to screw the rest of his miserable fucking life. Didn’t happen unfortunately.

I went home. There were several calls on the answer machine. Janine asking if “I was okay and that Judith wanted to see me.” One from her mum, saying “Judith’s so distraught couldn’t we mend it?”

I called Janine. “I don’t want to talk with the slut. We’re never getting back together. She can fuck Bryant and whoever she wants, I’m fucking free of her.” Janine understood.

I decided to have a holiday so I drove around the country in “my” car. It was actually quite a good car, comfortable and roomy. After three weeks I returned to my home.

A neighbour saw me pull up and came across. “Adam, some men tried to get your house. I called the Police. They took them away. The Police left their details for you to contact them.”

I thanked him. I called the Police and spoke with one of the Officers. It was Judith’s dad and brother. They were there as Judith wanted her engagement ring and a diamond set she alleged she owned. They hadn’t tried to break in so they had been given advice to see a solicitor regarding the property. I thanked the Officer. I was happy the bitch was mad.

Six weeks later I was in court for the divorce hearing. I saw Dawn’s sister Avril, a reporter on the local paper was seated in the press box. This was going to be fun.

Judith’s solicitor began by saying his client didn’t want a divorce and that she had merely strayed once or twice and was very sorry for the hurt she had caused. She wished the court to order counselling in an effort for us to get over her indiscretion. If the court felt they couldn’t do that then her husband had removed £105000 from their joint account. She was owed half of that.

Dawn stood up, “Perhaps Mrs Halliday could take the stand and we could examine her actions?” Her solicitor quickly tried to stop that. The Sheriff noted his reluctance to have her on the stand.

Dawn continued, “M’lord, this marriage is over. Mrs Halliday had an affair with Darren Bryant, aided and abetted by Mr Halliday’s manager and the owner of the firm. Bryant works there as well. Mr Halliday was sacked from their employ due having the gall to divorce this adulteress rather than let them continue their games with him.

“This affair has been ongoing for some 15 months prior to her husband finding out. It was a deliberate act by her as she knew Bryant and her husband hate each other. This is from their childhood days when Bryant was the school bully until Mr Halliday sorted him out. With the connivance of his bosses, Mr Halliday was forced to cancel going on a holiday, the purpose of which was to try and improve their relations. Bryant went instead. My client was forced to work to cover for Bryant who was on an important course. Totally fictious. This was one year ago.

“Taking Bryant on holiday rather than her husband shows Mrs Halliday’s utter contempt for her husband. Since then my client has had no intimate relationship with his wife. Something he is grateful for now.

“Her solicitor brings up the split of the marital assets. At her demand both kept personal accounts but had a joint account for household expenditure. Bank mandates paid so much from each personal account monthly until Mrs Halliday took it upon herself to cancel hers ten months before they split up. Now this didn’t stop Mrs Halliday spending money on her adulterous affair but she only used the joint account which by now was only using Mr Halliday’s funds. In total she spent over £47000 on Bryant and her, financed by Mr Halliday. Indeed their emails and texts gloat about it.

“The bills for their hotel room and the account used are in these documents I shall give to the court shortly. This was not once or twice as she wants us to believe but over fifteen months, meeting at least six to ten times a month, if not more. Mr Halliday’s neighbours state a man, looking surprisingly like Bryant was often at their home when Mr Halliday was away for days due to his work.

“Once or twice, may be redeemable with work and good will on both parties but such a fragrant breach of the sanctity of marriage means there is no hope of any reconciliation.

“The account with £105000 was for extending their home or moving. Mrs Halliday didn’t pay a penny into it in the last year while Mr Halliday had continued to pay £6000. Mrs Halliday failed to pay the lease cost of the car she drove. It was purposely put into Mr Halliday’s name so he would pay for it. Her texts and emails show that was her intent. Any money which Mrs Halliday believes she is entitled to is more than offset by the amount she is due to Mr Halliday for the theft from the joint account.”

Judith’s solicitor stood up and protested that this wasn’t theft. Dawn said that was a matter of interpretation. Judith, her father and her solicitor weren’t amused. I just smiled benignly.

Dawn went on, “Prior to the marriage, both parties entered into a prenuptial agreement.”

Judith’s solicitor interrupted, “We dispute the relevance of this document. It is our opinion this document incorrectly applies the law.”

Dawn continued, “It was drawn up by my learned friend,” looking at Judith’s solicitor. “It does allow the split of marital assets but precludes alimony against the aggrieved partner. Mr Halliday owned the house prior to the marriage. There was no mortgage as it was bequeathed to him following the deaths of his parents in a car accident. Mr Halliday’s accounts at the time of the split are recorded on this document. Excluding the £105000 already referred to, he had £34900 in assets. Cars are excluded from any assets. Our investigations into Mrs Halliday’s financial status showed that since the marriage she had known assets of £53400. Mr Halliday knew of those accounts. We discovered she had two additional accounts.”

Judith’s gasp brought everyone to look at her. She looked at me but I just kept my benign smile. She looked really pissed off.

Dawn continued, “At the date of split, Mrs Halliday had £217674 in those two accounts. I placed the record of these in the documents I shall submit to the court. I ask that the assets be split in the normal fashion. Mr Halliday, although unjustly sacked for standing up for himself is not seeking any alimony. The prenuptial insists the adulterer pays all expenses so I’ll forward my account to my learned friend later today for settlement in the normal course within seven days.”

Judith’s solicitor stood, “M’Lord, I dispute the sums sought by Mr Halliday. The two accounts referred to are her pension pots which due to financial movements had to be lifted so should be disregarded. They were to be reinvested but due to her emotional state over this divorce they have not been. My client disputes Mr Halliday’s contention that she was due him over £47000 over the household account. As I asked earlier, I ask for counselling.”

Dawn replied, “The payments into these account tally with the bonuses she received from her work. Again, the relevant paperwork disproves the assertion these are her pension pots.”

The Sheriff adjourned at that point for lunch but not before asking Judith’s solicitor to speak with his client to confirm the truth or otherwise of the statements made in court this morning. He did not like being lied to, so he hoped for the truth.

After lunch, Judith’s solicitor stated that the facts as reported by Dawn were correct. The Sheriff granted the divorce and made her pay me £118000. He disregarded the £105000 as the sums equated to what she had spent deliberately to humiliate her husband. His summing up made plain his displeasure at her behaviour in regard to the adultery and her covering up her assets.

Avril’s article in the paper was excellent. All the salient points except the sum awarded were included. Judith, Bryant, Harvey and Bennett were named and shamed.

I was happy to be free of the slut but I wanted more, much more.

Judith and her family were always staunch church goers. My non-attendance did not sit well with them. Two weeks later was mothering Sunday. I can only imagine their shock when they came out to see numerous (at least sixty) photos of their daughter in various sexual contortions with Bryant and an additional twenty of the minister with the wife of a local politician.

Danny had put the camera in a day early as the room hadn’t been shown as booked that day. It was only when we were reviewing the recording we spotted the minister.

By all accounts the whole congregation were up in arms. The minister had to run from his wife’s brothers. Judith’s dad just about had a stroke.

What’s in those ten commandments, “Thou shalt not commit adultery!” Maybe they should have paid heed to that one in particular.

Five weeks after that I was back in court v Bennett, Harvey and Bryant. Avril was again in the reporter’s box. Bennett’s solicitor tried to have her removed but the Sheriff ruled this case had public interest merit.

Dawn called me to give evidence. I was in the box for over an hour before she finished with me. I detailed the times I had been ordered by Harvey to cover work for Bryant. The cancelled holiday and the lack of payments. How when I checked the dates of withdrawals from our joint account, they matched. When I had confronted Bennett, he just laughed, he knew about the affair as Bryant openly boasted about it. I detailed the discovery of the texts, emails between the four of them revealing their conspiracy. I ended by saying that I had not been paid for my notice period as well as the amount paid to Bryant instead of me.

Dawn’s final two questions, “How would you describe the relationship between Bennett, Harvey, Bryant and the other members of staff to you over the last fifteen months especially?”

I replied, “I was treated with distain, threatened by Harvey if I complained about covering for Bryant or having to fix his botched repairs. Bennett just looked at me and smirked. My so-called colleagues seemed to know a joke I didn’t. They used my conscientiousness to play me, as I did my best for the company. Harvey even had me use my own phone to save the company money. He put a tracker on the company sim card so Bryant would know if I was coming.”

She asked, “Had you known earlier would you have worked as hard for them?”

I replied, “No. I would have left. I had offers but I thought loyalty was a good trait.”

Dawn lodged all the papers with the court. Copies of the emails, texts, my business record and claims, payments made, due.

Bennett’s solicitor tried to say I had made up all the facts about non-payment, bullying and other matters. My record keeping is exemplary and he failed.

His solicitor started their defence by saying his client never had the papers served on him that Friday as the court had heard. It was only far later he was served so he hadn’t had the time to examine all the allegations against him. I thought he was trying to offset the fact he hadn’t managed to make any headway with me.

Dawn stood up and played the recording of Bennett being given the papers by me, time and date stamped. The solicitor was mad at Bennett for misleading him. He asked for an adjournment to speak with him. The Sheriff gave him twenty minutes.

On his return, the solicitor called Bennett to the stand. He blamed me not being paid as an oversight due to the problems with clients cancelling their contracts. He had informed the finance department to pay me immediately. His solicitor didn’t enquire as to his knowledge of the affair and his part in it.

Bennett was about to leave the witness stand when Dawn stood up, “One moment Mr Bennett,” she smiled. Her beware I’m about to roast you smile.

“Mr Bennett, do you actively employ people to have extra marital sex on your work time?”

Both Bennett and his solicitor looked at her. Bennett stammered, “No! Sometimes these events occur but I don’t recruit people based on that.”

Dawn looked down at the paper in front of her, “Mr Harvey, fired from his previous job due to false accounting and adultery with a secretary. Mr Bryant, fired from his previous job due to sexual harassment claims by five women, one allegation of rape. Mr Carter, fired previously due to adultery with three women in his workplace. Mrs Simmons, fired due to adultery at her previous job with the husband of the owner’s daughter. She spends two afternoons a week in your office does she not!

“Harvey, Bryant, Carter and you share her at times. You talk about other staff wives you’ve sexually harassed or fucked. You share your sexist jokes about cuckolding husbands like Mr Halliday who were decent men who foolishly trusted you.”

Bennett’s wife who was there supporting him walked out. If her face told the story, he was about to lose his balls.

“Tell me why you think employing people for the purpose of having sexual encounters is not being a pimp, soliciting prostitution. For that’s what you are!”

Bennett was blushing, he couldn’t answer. Bennett’s solicitor tried to prevent him answering but the Sheriff ruled it was a valid question due to the complaint before him. Bennett couldn’t answer.

“The emails you sent to Mrs Halliday on how to abuse her husband, how to control him were they the actions of a caring employer? Did they conform to Health and Safety rules regarding looking after the physical and mental health of your employees?

“Having found out about the affair his wife was having with your work fucking partner, you did nothing to inform him. Is that the action of a caring employer or a sexual predator so fixated on hurting someone because they are a far better man than you will ever be?

“The only thing which made sense was not wanting him to leave as you needed his skills but even then you abused him with the help of Harvey. Sent him away so Bryant could fuck his wife. A caring employer!

“When he found out, instead of helping him, you ridiculed him and later sacked him unfairly. Without him we can see what your company has become.

“All these actions constitute workplace bullying and harassment. That’s what you are, a bully and a sexual predator.”

Dawn continued, “Who came up with the idea for Bryant to fuck Mrs Halliday to screw over Mr Halliday?”

Bennett looked down. The Sheriff told him to answer. “Bryant, he hated Halliday. He knew he was by far the better engineer but there was more.”

“Why did you go along with it?”

“I thought of Halliday as a loser. You would lose him in a crowd. It was fun to watch the deluded bastard not knowing. It was no longer fun listening to Bryant speak about Judith and how bad a fuck she was. We engineered him finding out. We thought he would capitulate. We could rub his nose in it for months, a cuckold. But he fought back. He’s fucked us big time. All the clients who used him have left us.

“Bryant is so scared to go out in case he cuts his balls off. Harvey shits himself if his name is mentioned.”

I had looked up when he said they engineered it. No wonder Bill never spoke. He was in on it. They had seen me and were laughing at me after all. Fuck them!

Dawn continued, “Who’s idea was it to have Mr Halliday pay for all the room bookings?”

“Harvey’s. He disliked Halliday as he always showed him up as being a poor manager.”

“The holiday?”

“Bryant and Harvey. I laughed so much I went for it.”

Dawn said quietly, “The theft of Mr Halliday’s wages?”

Bennett spluttered. His solicitor stood up challenging the phrase. The Sheriff allowed it as in context that’s what they did.

Bennett said, “Harvey and Bryant, I went along with it. We knew from Judith he never checked the accounts so he would never find out.”

“Why did you fire him with no cause?”

Bennett was furious, “No cause. The bastard let everyone know what we did. He made us look like fools. He stood there, an evil grin on his face, watching Bryant almost being sick. He shat himself. His look said he hated us. I never knew he held such anger. If I had I’d never have got involved. If I left him there, one of us, probably all of us would be looking over our shoulders waiting for him to act. His face said we were going to be fucked over hard.

“He put laxative chocolates in the kitchen. People had to queue for the toilets. Many had accidents. He used some powder on the toilets, condom machines and sanitary products. People were crying in pain as their personal parts burned. No one saw him but we know it was him!”

Dawn said quietly, “Like everything you blame Mr Halliday with absolutely no proof. You bullied, stole from him because you’re all jealous of the man he is. You’re pathetic.”

Dawn sat down.

The Sheriff struggled not to laugh as Bennett explained the predicament the staff had found themselves in. He later spoke to Dawn about it. He felt it was totally justified and had I been brought to court and found guilty, he would have admonished me.

Bryant was up next. He told his solicitor it was just meant to be a little fun to get back at me for beating him up at school. Judith and he developed a bond based on coming up with ways to demean me. It went on far longer than expected. The holiday was just about rubbing my face in it.

Dawn asked just one question. “Did you at any time pay for the room you used or the beer you drank in his house?”

Bryant looked down, “No.”

Harvey’s went even worse. Dawn nailed him on falsifying the payment and annual leave records. She made sure his deceit was in the court record. If Bennett’s went bust as appears likely, he wouldn’t be looked at favourably by any employer.

The Sheriff reserved his judgment for two weeks. Before the due date, he asked Dawn if I had been paid as Bennett suggested. That was a negative.

At his summation, he left them all without a leg to stand on. He found all complaints in our favour. He awarded me £200000 for their actions, £33000 in non-payment of salary. He made an additional ruling that none of them were to receive a penny in salary until all the payments to me had been made. If any attempt to go bankrupt was made to avoid that, he had records which showed the bank balance of the firm was over £2 million. He would jail them for a long time. He made Bennett liable for my legal fees.

I was paid in full by the next day. Bennett paid Dawn’s legal fees (the full amount -not the mate’s rates).

I was enjoying my freedom. I felt better than I had in a number of years. I did a few consulting, repair jobs which convinced me that instead of working for someone else to screw me over, I should work for myself. The biggest cost was the specialist diagnostic equipment, many run into the £20-30 thousand range.

Bennett decided to liquidate the company before he lost everything, so few clients remained with him. On the day of the sale, Danny went along to try and buy some equipment on my behalf. I knew I would never be allowed in. I had set a budget of thirty thousand. On the catalogue, the first four items were the ones I really wanted but I expected each to be in the ten thousand plus range. I was very surprised when Danny called and said I had the four for seventeen. I told him to try and get as many I had marked as possible. Later he called. He’d spent the thirty but there were two items left on my list, I had marked a limit of three against them. If I wanted, he would lend me the money for them. I told him; I didn’t need a loan but to get them if possible.

With those I set up Halliday Mechanical Services. I leased a van as the cost was broadly similar to buying but I wasn’t reliant on a good trade in price in the future. I contacted my previous clients and was soon very busy. I received a couple of calls from former Bennett’s colleagues who hoped I would hire them. Not a fucking chance!

One afternoon, I found myself driving home close by the hotel Judith and Bryant had used. I had bought Danny quite a few beers but I hadn’t done anything for Kate. I called in and was glad to find she was working at the reception.

She smiled at me, “Can I help you sir?”

She was gorgeous. She had been a lovely girl, but she was all woman now. Danny hadn’t lied when he said she had a body you’d dream about. I loved her smile immediately. “Kate, I would like to take you to dinner to say thank you for what you did for me with Danny. If you want to do something else, I’m happy to do that. I owe you so much.”

She smiled again, “You can take me to dinner here tomorrow night at 7. I finish at 6 but will shower here and try and look presentable for you.”

It was my turn to smile, “You’re far more than presentable. You’re beautiful even in corporate clothing. I’ll be here in good time. Thank you for not blowing me off.”

We shared smiles and I left feeling like I’d won the lottery.

I was glad my work the next day was close to home and went smoothly. I was finished early and home. Shower shave then I agonised over what I should wear. I wanted to impress but I wasn’t sure what would. I felt worse than my fifteen-year-old self on my first date. I realised my wardrobe needed updating.

I was there at 6.45. I was really nervous. She appeared a few minutes later. She was stunning. Her auburn hair shaped her face before cascading down her shoulders to mid back. Her green eyes sparkled with a joy in life. Her lips were just asking to be kissed. Her blue dress revealed a little cleavage which highlighted what appeared to be two very generous breasts. She had a toned abdomen and long legs which looked like she ran a lot. She had on heels which brought her close to my height.

She was laughing at me. I realised my jaw was wide open.

“I’m sorry but you look absolutely gorgeous.” I admitted, “I haven’t been this tongue tied since I was fifteen.”

She laughed and held out her hand for mine. She took me to the restaurant. I can’t recall what I ate only that this was the best evening of my life by a long way. After the meal we retired to the lounge for a drink. I was glad I’d taken a taxi. Even if I hadn’t been drinking, I don’t think I could have driven.

She’s very intelligent and we spoke on so many topics. She never criticised my views but had me explain when they differed from hers. We gently debated our differences and learned so much more because of that. Her laughter lit up the room.

It was after 10 when she said she had to go as she was on duty at 7 in the morning. I told her I would get a taxi home but take her home before I was dropped off if she wished. We did that. She stayed about half a mile from my home.

Before we left the hotel, I said, “Kate, I came tonight because I did owe you for what you did. I have never enjoyed an evening like this before. I would like to ask you to come out with me again if you don’t think I’m too forward.”

She answered by kissing me. My lips felt like they had been hit by lightning. She pulled out my phone and asked me to open it. She put her number in it. I gave her mine and my email as she said she would email me her roster so I would know when she may be available.

We have been going out for three months. I know she has a great body as when we hold each other and kiss, I feel her breasts indented on my chest. I have cupped what feels like an amazing bum. I was embarrassed the first few times when my erection almost broke us apart. We haven’t been intimate as I am kind of wary of being really involved again. She is so lovely I feel I’m just trying to persuade myself she is another Judith. I know she isn’t but!

When she is working, I have my other life. I have been spying on Bryant. He is slowly becoming more comfortable going out. He stalled when Harvey received a good beating. I was suspected but I had an alibi as I was working at a plant 100 miles away and had a number of others with me. I learnt Harvey’s balls had to be removed as they turned gangrenous due to the trauma they received. He’s since left town.

Bennett was far easier. He likes a good drink at the golf club so he was caught three Friday’s in a row well over the limit. He’s banned from driving for ten years, needs to pass sobriety tests as well as resit his driving test before he will be allowed a licence again. He was fined five thousand pounds in total. The word is his wife threw him out and is divorcing him for adultery, claiming every penny she can.

Bryant though is personal. I finally caught him walking through the park to the pub. I beat the shit out of him again. I stomped on his hands until I heard the bones breaking. He wouldn’t be able to wank for a while if ever. He was already unconscious as I cut his balls off and sliced his little dick. The hot blade I used cauterised the wounds as I cut. I made it myself so nothing to trace.

The following afternoon, I was at home with Kate when the Police called regarding the assault on Bryant. I had to say I didn’t have an alibi. I didn’t want to potentially drag a friend into something which may cause them jail time. All I had worn, clothing, mask, underwear, gloves etc had been burnt and totally destroyed before I came home. I had never spoken a word to him.

Kate laughed as she told the Officers, I wouldn’t have had the strength as we had spent all afternoon in bed and I’d given her seven fantastic orgasms as she fucked me near to death. She still didn’t know how she managed to make her shift and stay there. Her friends had never seen her so happy.

The Police left. I looked at Kate. She was smiling. I took her hand and pulled her to me.

“I’d better give you those orgasms in case they ask you to take a lie detector test!”

She just snuggled closer, “About time too!” as she kissed me like there was no tomorrow. Soon, I had her blouse off, kissing down her neck to her breasts. I struggled unhooking her bra which caused her to laugh. I finally managed and those breasts came into view for the very first time. They were fantastic, a very large handful, very pert with light pink areolas about an inch and a quarter wide. Her nipples responded to my kissing and nibbles by expanding to about half an inch. The areolas darkened considerably the more aroused she became. I’m sure it took me at least fifteen minutes to examine them fully.

As I was caressing them, Kate stroked my head, running her hands over my shoulders. She was very vocal, “I love your touch. I could cum.” She did. It was the first time I had experienced that. She laughed at my expression. She smiled, “I knew you would be gentle. I’ve never cum from that before.”

I tried to go lower but she stopped me. “Fair’s fair. You’ve seen me topless I want to see you.” She began kissing me before going down my neck. My whole body felt like it was being caressed. She pulled off my polo shirt and started kissing my chest. Her hands stroked my pectoral muscles while she kissed me all over. She lightly ran her fingers through my chest hair. Her hair was lightly teasing my skin. Her nipples felt like they were cutting me, in a very sensual way. She took her time before reaching my nipples where she spent ages kissing and nibbling. I’d never felt them so hard.

Whenever possible, my hands were lightly caressing her head, her back and her breasts. I told her, “This is amazing. I love this!”

She lifted her head, “I thought that as someone is trying to rip your trousers. Maybe I should remove them?” She was smiling. She unfastened them and I helped her take them off. My penis was really stretching my underwear so she removed those. She looked me in the eye as she surrounded him with her breasts. She slowly caressed him using her hands to make the sensation lighter or firmer. Soon, he was overflowing with pre-cum.

Kate just opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out, licking it off. I was incoherent, “fucking marvellous, great, that’s fantastic!” She just smiled at me and continued to slowly tit fuck me. She would use her tongue around the head and all I could do was go, “mmmm!” I felt myself about to cum.

“Kate, I’m going to cum if you don’t back off.”

She just continued. The smile on her face was a sight to behold. She wanted to have me cum. My bum was raising itself from the sofa. Her tongue was working more magic. I couldn’t take much more. As I screamed, “I’m cumming!” she held my penis in her mouth. She struggled to contain all my sperm and some leaked out the side of her mouth. She was happy. I was bloody happy! I’d never had someone do that to me before.

As I recovered, we snuggled together and made small talk for about ten minutes.

I smiled as I said caringly, “You’ve seen me naked, it’s only fair I see you.”

I unbuttoned her skirt and slid it down those long legs. I followed with my lips as I kissed all the way down and back up. I took her slip off and did the same again. Without the slip, I was able to open her legs further so found she had very sensitive inner thighs. I slowly removed her lovely red satin bikini pantie revealing a wonderful plot of trimmed auburn hair. I kissed all the way just after her panties preceded my lips. On the way back up, I spent a lot of time on her inner thighs. If I wasn’t kissing it, I was caressing the other side.

Kate was becoming vocal, “Adam, that’s lovely, great even but I need you in me. I can see someone else is in agreement. You’re outvoted two to one.”

A thought suddenly came to me. It must have shown in my face as Kate asked, “What’s wrong?”

I came clean, “I never expected this I don’t have any condoms.”

She just smiled, “It’s okay. I’ve been on the pill since we started dating. I hoped we would do this when you were ready.”

I couldn’t believe someone as lovely as her wanted me. Seven orgasms she had said. She had had one.

I kissed and caressed up to her pussy. I don’t think I have ever been in awe of one before. Her trimmed hair let me see her lips. The outer lips were visible. They hung down about three quarters of an inch and were a deep red. They were like the outside petals on a flower, tempting you to see more. They framed the inner lips who were saying welcome. I could have sworn they blew me a kiss. Her love tunnel was very wet and had many shades of pink and red. I gently kissed and caressed her lips before spending time mopping up her nectar with my tongue.

I teased her clit; it grew as I did. Kate was moaning loudly, “bloody hell, fucking fantastic!” I continued teasing but after a few more minutes she wasn’t having that. “Make me cum! Make me cum!”

As a gentleman who was I to deny her wishes. I upped the pressure on her clit alternatively pressing hard as I fingered it to lightly blowing on it. I used my nose at times as my tongue licked her juices from her lips and started to tongue fuck her vagina.

Her hips began rising and falling quickly, soon higher and harder. Her hands held my head tightly to her pussy as she came. Her body felt like she jack knifed half a dozen times. She finally released my head as she was too sensitive.

We cuddled and I began to tease her pussy again with my fingers. Her body was rising as I slid two fingers in to play with her ‘g’ spot. She was so wet a finger slid into her bum. I felt her tense but she relaxed. I went to take it out but she said, “Leave it, use it. I’ve never had a finger in my bum but it feels lovely.”

I took it slow so it was about fifteen minutes later when she really started to lose control. I had the two in her pussy, one in her bum and was lightly stroking the clit. My mouth was working on her astounding nipples. There was no warning, no deeper breaths just an almighty volcano as she rose of the sofa with an almighty “AARRGGGGHHHH!”

She almost passed out. She hung onto me as she came, there were little aftershocks for minutes. Finally, she moved off me. She kissed me like her life depended on it. “Wow! I’ve never cum like that before. I want you in me but I need to go to the toilet first.”

I showed her to the ensuite toilet as I went to the main one. I was lying on the bed when she came into the room. Her face looked troubled. I asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Adam, I’m not very experienced. I’ve never seen a cock as big as you. Can I be on top to control our first fuck?”

I smiled, “Kate, we’ll always care about the other whatever we do. If this helps you, I’m happy. I’m just amazed you can want a guy like me.”

Kate’s face went black. She was angry, “Adam, you’re a great guy. You’re caring, you’re funny, intelligent and make me feel like the most important person in your life when I’m with you. Don’t sell yourself short. You’re by far the best man I have ever known.”

She rose above me as she straddled me. “You’re the second man to ever have sex with me. You’re the first to ever make love to me, to want to make me happy. If we never make love again, I’ll treasure today for the rest of my life. You put me first, now I want to put you first.”

She kissed me until I thought my lips would burst. She moved down my body until she came to an obstruction. She rose and carefully positioned it at the entrance to her pussy. I stayed still as she manoeuvred my cock into her pussy. She rose and fell slowly, allowing him to ease into her. The feelings my cock was telling my brain were unbelievable. Her pussy was the tightest I had ever been in. It was extremely hot, very wet but how it spoke to my cock had me in wonderland. Every cell was excited by her pussy. I have never felt the ecstasy I was feeling then.

Kate was moaning, “Ohm, Ohm, mmmm!” Her eyes never left mine. She smiled the deeper I went. “Adam, every cell in my pussy is screaming in delight, this is magic.” It must have taken five minutes at least to work me fully in. We cuddled so tightly her nipples could have cut me they were so hard.

When she felt able, she began slowly rising and falling. It was my turn to moan in appreciation of the effects on my cock. I was glad she had blown me earlier as I would have cum almost straight away. As it was I didn’t last long. I shouted at her, “I’m cumming, I can’t stop it!” I came and came. I felt her pussy milking every drop. I had to ask her to stop as it was so sensitive.

I tried to apologise for cumming before her but she just stopped me. “That was for you! I may not have cum but I had the best experience of my life teasing you, watching your face as you drove into me.”

We hugged again. I realised I was hungry and looked at the clock. It was seven pm. I asked, “Do you want to eat before I give you the next four orgasms?”

She looked at me, “If you cook as well as you make love, yes. I’ll help.”

I offered her my robe but she said she was fine as she was. So naked we went to the kitchen. After the meal we returned to the bedroom. Kate wanted a shower so we made sure each other was clean. My cock had recovered by the time we finished.

I caressed her whole body before twice eating and fingering her to orgasms although not as powerful as the earlier ones. I turned her onto her front and placed a pillow under her pelvis. I kissed and caressed her back, bum and thighs before following her instructions to fuck her. This rear entry position allowed me to run over her ‘g’ spot. Soon we were both shouting we were cumming.

Afterwards we rolled together and hugged.

Kate looked at me, with the glow on her face. I was proud I had put that there but I knew I had failed. She asked, “Is there a problem?”

I nodded, “Seven orgasms you wanted and I’ve only given you six. While the mind is willing, I think your pussy has won the battle with my cock. I don’t think I can get it up again.”

She playfully hit me before kissing me. She spoke softly, “I don’t think I could cope with another one. My whole body feels so satisfied, so alive. I’ll take a rain cheque if I may?”

We cuddled for a while. She rose, “I suppose I’d better head home. I’m on early shift tomorrow.”

I smiled, “I would be happy to have you stay. I never thought this would happen. We haven’t prepared for anything like this.”

I watched her dress. Her body was truly awesome. She was flaunting herself as she did. She made great play in how a bra was hooked. I was laughing. When she put her panties on, she groaned. “I may have to leave them off, my pussy’s so tender.”

“If you do, I’ll have to escort you home. I don’t want anyone other than me to know how awesome your pussy is!”

She gave me a big kiss. My hands automatically caressed her breasts and bum. She pushed me away. “I’ll keep them on until I get in the house, okay?”

At my door we kissed again and again. I reminded her I was away for the next two nights on a job. Hopefully, I wouldn’t need a third night but I would phone her when I was free and she was off shift.

After she left, I returned to the bedroom. I could smell us. It was a lovely smell. I had the best night’s sleep in months.

At the job, everything which could go wrong did. Each time I fixed one part; another went. It was an older model and I had already told them it needed replaced about two years ago. The new machine was on order but was not due for six months so I had to repair it. The two days turned into four.

Kate and I talked on the phone. I loved to hear her voice and listen to her speak about her day. She laughed as I told her some of the things which were going wrong.

The time on my own was making me face my future. I had never sought another partner after Judith as I didn’t feel I could trust again. Kate said she had waited until I was ready. I thought about my life without her and it would suck. If anything, it would be worse than what I had with Judith.

If there was to be anyone for me, it would be Kate. I knew I loved her more deeply than anyone ever before. I needed to talk to her about that and what I needed.

The day I returned home she was working to 11 pm so I wouldn’t see her. I was busy working out my invoice for that job when the doorbell went. I was surprised to see her there. She looked worried. I invited her in.

I went to kiss her but she held me away. Now I was concerned.

She spoke softly, almost sadly, “Adam while you were gone, Judith was at the hotel with her firm doing a presentation. Afterwards she spoke with me. She knows we have been seeing each other. She asked me to ask you to speak with her. You’ve never spoken since the papers were served. She’ll meet you wherever you wish. She did say she wasn’t looking at harming us. She wants to explain everything to your face.

“I’m worried you may still have feelings for her. You never mention her. She’s more experienced than I am so your sex life would have been better than what we have done. I don’t want to lose you but I’d rather lose you now than later.”

She was almost sobbing when she finished.

“Kate, I did a lot of soul searching while I was away. I love you in a way I never thought possible. I have never loved someone in the way I love you. I held you away because I was so scared of being betrayed again even when every conscious thought in my brain was saying she’d never do that.

“I never mention Judith as I only feel contempt for her and at myself for allowing her to treat me the way she did. You don’t need to feel our sex life was so much better. It was non-existent but even when we previously had sex it was only about her pleasure. You speaking with me while having sex was more than she ever did. The night we had was the best sex I have ever had. It was about us looking to please each other, not just our self.

“Judith is right. It is probably time to speak. She knows I will never forgive or forget what she did. She has no hold on any feelings. I have none for her.

“You said you waited until I was ready. You were willing to wait because to you I was worth it especially if at the end I was with you. I told myself time and time again, to let love back in but I was so scared. You took that away. I want you in my life.”

Kate rushed into my arms and kissed me. As we broke it, she said, “I have a rain cheque remember!”

We fucked that night. We didn’t make love. We just let our emotions free. I loved waking up with her beside me in the morning. I dropped her off at her flat as she doesn’t wear panties two days running and only me should know she’s going commando. I was delayed there before heading to my job.

A week later I spoke with Judith in a small bar which nestled between us. She looked like she had lost some weight and a lot of confidence. We ordered coffees.

She started, “Adam, thank you for seeing me. I can see Kate is good for you. You’ve never looked happier in years if not ever. She’s not like me so take a chance. She’s a lovely woman.

“I want to apologise though I know the word sounds ridiculous coming from me, the nasty shrew. I have thought long and hard about why I destroyed our marriage. At first, I wanted to blame you but Janine wouldn’t let me. She let me know just how much I had wronged you. I found a counsellor who has helped me find the truth about myself and mostly why I did it. I still have a lot of work to do.

“I could take weeks to tell you but I’ll keep it short.

“I have always been selfish, self-absorbed. I liked to think I was better than everyone else. When I met you, I saw a man who was caring, loving and was totally unaware of the effect he had on others. You could have any woman you want because of your personality. Even more if they knew about how you treat a woman in bed as a person to be desired and explored until they can cum no more. You’re so conscientious in everything you do. I loved this man, a feeling I’d never experienced before.

“You loved me and would give me anything I desired because of that love if you could. The diamond set on our honeymoon even as that meant we couldn’t afford the tour you had really wanted. Over time I took you trying your best to please me not as love but a sign of weakness. When we talked about children, at first I wanted but as I lost sight of who you were and as such my respect for you, I decided against. Again you didn’t fight me. You always put me first and I never understood what that really meant until it was too late.

“When Bryant and I met at a function, it was thrilling speaking with your mortal enemy. I did tell him too much and we met a few times speaking about you mostly. He homed in on my lack of respect for you. He seduced me a few weeks later though I didn’t put up much of a fight. I heard him tell everyone I’m a crap fuck. He’s no lover, I couldn’t feel his small dick and his technique is crap. You would be 100 and he wouldn’t rate a 1. I only kept going back due to the thrill of doing it behind you back. The fact I did things with him I never allowed you to made my conscience really fuck with me. I tried anal but he was too small to get more than have the head in before he hit my bum cheeks.

“My conscience was disgusted at myself but I took my self-loathing out on you. I made your life hell. In fact, hell would have been an improvement.

“The need to humiliate you just grew. I still have never found out why I even thought that. How could you be humiliated when you didn’t know? Why did I feel that way towards you? I was actually mortified when Bryant talked about coming on that holiday instead of you. I knew that holiday was to try and fix us but again the thrill and stupidity won out. Harvey and Bennett were in on it. Until then I never knew Bryant was telling them everything.

“My conscience was really getting at me and I became the ice maiden refusing your attempts at making love as I didn’t want to experience love, I was so disgusted with myself. I knew you didn’t deserve how I was treating you. When I tried to say stop, Bryant always came up with a way to demean you and like an addict I took it.

“I never knew until the court case they had set up the job, put the photos up to publicly humiliate you. I’m so sorry. When you found out you didn’t say anything but when we crossed swords again that weekend, your words cut me open as my conscience was telling me you were right. I had stopped you having sex and even before that I was only interested in my pleasure. When you said divorce, I almost lost it then. Despite all I had done, I have never wanted to lose you. What a stupid way to show that!

“The two days with Bryant were going to be the last ones ever. Had I known you already knew I never would have gone ahead.

“Listening to Dawn at the divorce and the case against Bennett, I felt so guilty. My stupidity had heaped a ton of shit on you and you hadn’t deserved any of it. I was so ashamed of how I had acted. I realised the only person truly humiliated was me and I deserved that. I couldn’t believe the money I had spent on that bastard.

“When we came out of church and saw the photos of us and the ones of the minister, I knew you were behind it. I was bloody mad but my conscience went; you deserve this. This was when I looked for counselling.

“After the case, I caught Bryant and dished out my own revenge. It was in a club. I told the woman with him, loudly enough so many heard about how she wouldn’t feel his very little penis and his lousy technique. He doesn’t know what to with a pussy or where the clit is situated. Do yourself a favour and get a real man! She did.”

She was smiling as she added, “I have heard he is no longer functioning but no one has been caught.

“Dad and my brother caught him and made him pay me all the money back. He looked battered and bruised for weeks.”

I’d noticed that but never knew the reason.

“I’m truly sorry that I was such a self-centred bitch who mistook love for submissiveness, caring for weakness. If it helped you, I would let you beat my bare bum on this table in front of all the other customers. I am sorry I made your life a misery when I should have been there supporting you, like you always did for me, even when I was a bloody bitch.

“I’m moving to another branch to get out of this town. All I get here, if I go out, is get a room!

“I need a fresh start, a chance to be a good person again. I’ll probably never find a man as good as you but losing you was all on me. I misinterpreted everything you did through love as weakness when it is a strength. You did nothing wrong.

“If I can give you some advice, some I’ve learnt in therapy. It’s okay to disagree, to want different things but discuss them. Don’t just roll over because it would make the other happy. Say what’s on your mind.

“Bennett was right on one thing only, you’re a bloody great engineer. I’m not surprised to hear you’re doing well

“You’re a bloody good man except you don’t believe in yourself enough.

“Tell Kate the feelings you have bottled up because of me. Be a team. She will be good for you.

With a lot of sadness she finished, “I’m a bloody fool!”

She rose and bid me farewell.

I returned home where an anxious Kate was waiting.

I said those five little words, “Kate, we need to talk.” I smiled when she raised her eyebrows. I kissed her gently.

I told her everything which had happened, how Judith had mistreated me as well as fuck Bryant. I told her how I felt so inadequate, how I couldn’t believe that I deserved a life with her. She was crying when I finished. I was crying. I had unburdened myself for the first time in my life. We ended crying, huddled together.

When we were done crying, she wiped my face, “Adam, Judith was right about two things. How wonderful a man you are and how little you realise that. Maybe if counselling has helped her some would help you.

“When you mentioned children, I could tell by the hurt in your voice how deeply that cut into you. This is a lovely house; a large plot and it can be extended to give you that wonderful family home. I can only tell you if we become permanent, I would love to have your children.

“With our sex life, I have so much to learn. You were the first to ever cum in my mouth. I’ve never done anal. I don’t know if you prefer pubic hair or bare. I want to please you so I know we need to discuss our ideas, our fantasies. We can have fun learning together.

“I’m not Judith, I don’t see you being laid back, a thinker, as being weak. I see a strong man who is always looking to be better, to help others. We’ll disagree, fight at times but you’ll always have my love and respect.

“Remember our first night. Throughout the meal, we talked, we had areas we disagreed upon but we spoke about those and learned how a different perspective adds to our experiences. We both need to speak up, to discuss any problems we may have, like how many pairs of panties should I have here to avoid going commando or none so you can take me home and play with me there.”

I interrupted then, “I think you should move in with me and bring all your panties. I may have to check them all and see if they are suitable for you working. You may need ones that cover from your chest to your knees.”

I didn’t get further as she kissed me so hard, I almost broke the seat back. We made slow, passionate love that night. She moved in and we talked about renting her flat out. She wanted to wait a few months to ensure I was happy.

A few weeks after she moved in, I was at the safe when she noticed the jewellery boxes. She insisted I take them out.

I opened the large one, the diamond set and told her the story including not getting the tour I had really wanted to go on. I had deliberately kept it from Judith due to her betraying me with Bryant. I blushed with the small box.

“Kate, this is a family heirloom. I gave it to Judith but kept it. It is an engagement ring. I’ve thought of asking you to marry me for a few weeks. I asked your dad for permission and he is over the moon, your mum too.
