Time to Trade Up

Dinner was especially good but the real excitement was the “Man Catcher” contest. The dresses varied from a nice Sunday dress to a slutty “cum get me” dress. When they arrived at what they had decided was the best club they found they could not get one table of 12 and had to settle for 2 tables of 6. Which also made the ladies more accessible to men to ask them to dance. Cheryl was delighted to dance with about 5 different men. Every man was charming, personable and fun to be with.

This was the kind of life she envisioned when she left Marvin’s house. The sixth man to approach her was completely different. Just his look at Cheryl made her squirm in her chair and she got up to dance with him before he had even asked.

He was tall, broad shouldered and very sophisticated. He spoke quietly and directly to her, blocking out everything happening around them. After several fast and slow songs, he asked if she was tired and wanted to go back. She said “I’ll go back to the table if you join me. Otherwise, I’m staying right here with my arms around you.”

He said “That is the sweetest music I have heard all night. Your table looks quite rowdy, would you like to join me at my table? It is my son and a few of his friends from college. I’m sure we will have time to talk as the boys are spending their time chasing the young ladies tonight.”

With laughter she said “Sounds like fun.”

Cheryl found out Ted was an airplane broker in Dallas to visit his son who worked as a summer intern there. His office was in Seattle but he traveled the world selling new and used airplanes. Suddenly things started to click in her head. If she wanted a sexual experience with a real stud, it would be Ted. She was having a hard time finding men in her town that did not know Marvin. Here is a man from Seattle in Dallas with son, Matt with no contact or knowledge of Marvin.

She was not even going to give Ted her real name so he could not trace her. This was perfect, she could have fabulous sex with him and Marvin would never know the difference. Her husband had a saying about fouling in basketball games; ‘No harm, no foul’. Since he would not know she fucked Ted there was no harm, thus no foul.

Her table became party central with young men and young ladies stopping but to sit, drink, laugh and party. Now that Cheryl had decided how to get fucked without husband’s knowledge she relaxed and had a great time. It was after her second Cosmo she turned to Ted and put the most sensuous kiss on Ted’s mouth. At the end of the kiss, he asked her if he could have seconds. He turned to his son and said “Take a picture of this, I want to remember this forever.”

As they turned to each other and started the second kiss Cheryl grabbed his hand and put it on her breast. This really turned Ted on and he increased the intensity of their kiss. The kids at the table howled with laughter at how dirty old people could get. Cheryl took that as a challenge and hiked her dress to thong level and swung her leg over Ted’s lap, ground on his lap and went for mega kiss number three.

Breathlessly, Ted says “I think we need to move this to another location before we get arrested. But first I have two questions for you. First question, what is your name?

“CJ” she answered.

“Second Question; Are you married?”

She answered ‘Not anymore, my husband has divorced me.” She then asked “Where are you staying?

He replied “Embassy Suites a mile from here. I’ll have my son find another room for the night as my room will be very busy.”

With that Cheryl grabbed Ted’s hand and dragged him over to her friend’s tables. She proclaimed “Ted and I are leaving. I’ll see you tomorrow morning as I pick up the man catcher money.” She then had Ted present his driver’s license to her friends so if Ted was an ax murderer the police would know who he was.

Any trepidation that Cheryl had about cheating on Marvin was dissipated as she walked with her arm around Ted’s waist as they went to his hotel. She undid one button of her blouse saying “PING” as each floor passed. The walk to the room was clumsy as they pawed each other every step of the way. As soon as the door was latched, she mashed her chest to Ted and tried to suck his tongue out of his mouth. She started unbuttoning his shirt with lightning fingers. No slow strip tease tonight, speed was king in this endeavor.

She walked him backward toward a stuffed chair near the bed, dropped to her knees and starting removing his belt. After the unbuttoning and unzippering were completed, she pulled the slacks down with the swift moves of a magician. Her hands caressed the back of his legs while her face was close to his boxers. His cock trying to find the front opening.

She was contemplating her next move. If she pulls open the curtain of boxer shorts before her, she puts any thought of returning to her husband in jeopardy. She was pretty sure Marvin had not beaten her to this room and set up secret video equipment. There was no way this could serve as documentation of her cheating on her husband.

With that in mind, she pulled down the shorts to view her second erect penis ever. She was delighted that this penis was slightly longer and thicker than the one that had been servicing her for the past 25 years. The previous cock had given her two children but this one appeared to be able to deliver its heavier weight in pleasure.

Her mouth was drawn to the mushroom head. She kissed it slightly then licked the golden juice that the kiss encouraged to come out. One hand could not hold this stiff pole of masculinity. She started to suck on the head while her hands caressed his smooth hairless balls. His legs became shaky from the vacuuming on his cock so he sat on the stuffed chair. She was going after him like a college girl with her first chance at sex.

Finally, he said, “Let’s get your clothes off and move to the bed.” Actually, he was using this as an excuse to catch his breath before blowing his wad. With that, her clothes came flying off her like an Oklahoma tornado hitting a farm wife’s clothes line. She couldn’t wait for what came next. She knew what her husband would do, but this was the new experience she was looking for.

Ted asked her if he could return the pleasures he had been experiencing and she happily complied by laying back on the bed and spreading her legs. He started sniffing his way to the honeypot, small light kisses as he moved from her knees to her inner thighs. Ted commented on the delicious womanly fragrances emanating from her dampening vagina. He was working his way around her outer smooth lips while one finger started to search for the source of her wetness. Not pressing to enter, just doing some exploring.

The finger retreated to allow his tongue full access to the inner side of her lips; that canyon between the lips and her clitoris. This brought a definite moan from his lady for that evening. She was his and only his that night. All Cheryl’s thoughts were connected to the nerve endings between her legs.

Like a poker player, he upped the ante by pursuing the pink sliver of flesh between her nether lips. The first touch brought a gasp and her right-hand pushed on the back of his head. Her left hand was tormenting her right nipple. It did not take long for her to clench his head between her thighs and utter a groan of total satisfaction. He could not hear her groan as his ears were trapped by her thighs but he saw the product of her orgasm as the moisture level where his mouth was working substantially increased.

Ted was pleased with his workmanship and when he raised his wet face above her crotch, he saw a face that was smiling happily at him. Interpreting that as an invitation for his large penis to continue the assault on her pussy, he moved up her body, stopping only long enough to kiss her stomach, breasts and neck. As he was suspended above her, he felt her hand guiding him to a spot only other one man had been.

She pulled on his dick to bring it to her. It was her time and she was anticipating the thrill of this hard pole of flesh pushing deep into her body. He obliged by just entering the mushroom head for a couple of seconds then removing it, only to replace it with a further advance. Inch by inch the penetration increased until she felt the root of his dick bounce against her hips. As he pulled fully out, he noticed the slickness of his now shiny penis.

It was time for his full-frontal assault on her and he entered with an authoritative shove of his hips. She gasped and instinctively pushed away from this pressure with her heels on the slick sheets. He kept pounding and her legs kept flailing and thrashing, gradually pushing her head closer and closer to the headboard. Her head and neck were awkwardly bent against the headboard when he noticed he had jammed her so far forward. She was so lost in passion that was not even aware of the cramped position she had put herself into.

Ted raised up and withdrew his slick cock from the frothy mess it had been churning up. Cheryl moaned “No don’t pull out.” He scooted back a couple feet toward the foot of the bad, grabbed her widespread legs and pulled them to him, sliding her ass across the sheets. This aggressive cave man move made her squeal in delight. His dick did not need any guidance or hardening to slam back into the hairless swamp that he had been fucking.

Her mind and her crotch were now as one, screaming in pleasure and a giant orgasm started to build. She was rocking her hips in time with his plunges, her stomach clenched as she welcomed each thrust. He could see the muscles in her throat twitch and her eyes started to roll back into her head.

He used his remaining energy to slam as hard and as fast as he could the next few minutes to finish her off. And finish her he did. Her arms and legs went limp from exhaustion while her throat pushed out shallow puffs of air.

Both of them laid together, saying nothing, just looking into each other’s eyes. No words could describe the passion that had passed between them. It was passion and lust at its peak. No thoughts of love and devotion. Just raw primitive sex.

Ted was the first to speak “I hope you do not want a repeat of that performance tonight as it will take me a few days to get my strength back.”

She laughed and said “I was afraid the friction would make my pussy catch fire. It certainly was hot enough for spontaneous combustion.”

They laughed, cuddled and groped each other for another hour or so. They could not care about how long they spent together. Then they decided to take a joint shower and see what happens next. Next was more fucking, more sucking and more orgasms.

After a pre-breakfast fuck, Ted took Cheryl back to her friends. Jealous friends who wanted details, including the mathematical count of orgasms achieved by each of them. After lunch all the ladies started heading back home, home to husbands, lovers or empty apartments. They all agreed to make a better effort to communicate with the group. They especially wanted to hear about Cheryl’s continuing adventures in feminism’s freedom. Some were jealous of her situation; some were thankful not to be her.

WEEK 13: Sunday afternoon Marvin picked Tara and Sean and took them to his country club. After brunch he took Sean, with Tara trailing, to show him the golf pro shop, driving range, putting green and the snack bar. Marvin had an old set of clubs his son used at that age for Sean to keep in the pro shop whenever he came over to play. Most importantly, he gave Sean his club number so he could order sodas and fries for him and his new friends while at the pool.

The next Tuesday would be the first of summer’s Young Golfers program. Sean had a permanent smile plastered on his face. He was dreading a dull summer, but golf lessons, playing golf then swimming for 3 days a week made him a happy boy. It also made Tara a happy mother and happy companion to Marvin.

That evening she made dinner for the three of them. After Sean went to bed, she cuddled up to Marvin and said “Thank you so much for getting Sean started in this golf group. He is really happy. I’ll bet you were a wonderful dad for your kids.”

Dejectedly he said “You’ll have to ask someone else about that. After what has happened to me in the last 3 months, I have no idea if what I ever did was right or wrong. My world is so upside down my head just keeps spinning.”

As Tara put her arms around him, she said “I’m here for you. I’ve been there before. There is clarity after the fog, I guarantee it. You just keep doing what you are doing. You are going to be better off, no matter what happens.” The two then spent some quiet time hugging and talking.

On the 15 of June both Marvin and Cheryl knew what day it was. It was their 25th anniversary. Both thought they would send a card to the other but both decided not to do that. Both of them had their calendars marked for 13 weeks from Friday. That is the end of Cheryl’s 6-month empowerment escapade. It will be the day of decision; do they reunite as man and wife or sign the final copy of the divorce decree.

Cheryl was still on her high from her Dallas trip. Her girlfriends had given her strength and support for what she was doing and how she was doing it. The night she spent with Ted was spectacular. So many orgasms in only one night for one woman; a new liberated woman. Free to do and fuck anyone she wanted. However, she knew she had to keep any liaisons while in her home town very quiet. Otherwise, her absent husband might finish the divorce and she did not want that now. She really did not want to divorce him, she just wanted it both ways.

She wanted freedom to do what she wanted but have him be her home base she could run to whenever she wanted. It was a perfect spot to be in. Sure, Marvin would be a cuckold, it’s just he would not know it. It bothered her to not be truthful to her husband of 25 years, he just needs to quit making a big deal of it.

Wednesday was Marvin’s afternoon to play golf with Greta. With him taking lessons from the club pro plus Greta’s helpful playing hints he had dropped his average scores by 6 shots. He really enjoyed her company and being outdoors on a beautiful afternoon was special. While the golf play was serious the conversations between the two were light as they became very personal with each other.

As they finished their round, he asked her if she would like to play at the club’s couples’ night on Friday night with him. He said “It’s mostly married couples but non-married couples are welcomed. It’s only 9 holes of golf then dinner and prizes are awarded. She said “I’d love to.”

Friday night there was a long-standing group of ladies at the country club that got together for drinks and dinner. Cheryl had been a member of this group for many years but with Marvin’s divorce filing she no longer had standing at the club. Her friend Betty asked if she could join them. She was reluctant at first but decided that a modern woman would not cower from being in the same building as her estranged husband. Afterall, they were not arch enemies, just two people who have moved away from each other for a short time.

Their usual spot for the Friday night hen party was on the patio above the 9th green. They had been assigned that spot many years ago because of the raucous and loud conversations this group was known for. It was a beautiful evening and the cosmopolitans were flowing. Cheryl was happy to be back with her friends and was looking around, having fond memories of her and Marvin here.

It was then that she saw him; her husband. Walking beside a moving golf cart toward his ball. He looked really good; trimmer and his stride more athletic. From the location of the ball, it appeared they had already taken two shots on the par 5 hole. He swung his club, the ball sailed directly at the pin and rolled into the cup.

“An Eagle, he’s made an eagle.” Cheryl heard a woman yell. She was very happy for her husband and jumped up to yell congratulations but stopped as her stomach wrenched into a knot. From the cart a tall blond woman with a large breasts and short skirt jumped up and ran to Marvin.

He turned toward her as she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a quick kiss. They didn’t care who was watching. They couldn’t hear the cheers and jeers from those around them. The two golfers wrapped their arms around each other and headed for their cart.

The ladies at the table gasped as they realized what Cheryl had seen. Cheryl grabbed her purse and ran to her car. There she broke down and sobbed. Another beautiful woman was after her Marvin. He was supposed to wait for her to make her decision on how soon she returned to their home. It was to be her decision not his. He really is looking to trade up but what saddened her was she was the one to be traded out.

WEEK 14: Diana Marco had scheduled a joint mediation meeting for Cheryl and Marvin. They had not seen or talked to each other since their lunch five weeks ago. Both of them drove up to Diana’s office at the same time. As he turned off his BMW, Cheryl complemented him on the beautiful car and she asked “Can you take me for a ride after our session is over?”

As he got out of the car he said “Sorry but I have a golf game this afternoon. Besides, we are not to have contact with each other.”

She said “I’m looking forward to our session today. Hopefully we can work out our differences and go back to being a couple.”

He smirked and said “Yeah, me too but with you moving out makes any recoupling hard to accomplish.”

Diana welcomed them into her office by saying “I am so glad you two are talking to each other. That is a good start to reconciliation. After our last meeting I informed you that this will be a joint meeting. Each of you can talk frankly to each other and see what common ground we have. From our first meeting it appears to me that you both care for and love each other. You both want to remain married.

The only stumbling block is that Cheryl wants to have some sexual experiences with men other than Marvin. This is a real problem for him and he has vowed to finalize the divorce upon infidelity by Cheryl. Do we agree this is our stumbling block?”

Both answered “Yes”

Diane asked Cheryl if she would like to talk first.

Cheryl responded with “Yes I would like to start. Marvin, I really, honestly love and respect you. I want us to be together forever, however, I feel incomplete and lacking in world experiences. From my reading I have found that sexual interactions are different from intimacy. You can have sexual experiences with someone without caring for or even liking someone. It is just a physical act just like shaking hands or putting an arm around someone. Sex is just physical activity for a short period of time. When it’s over, it’s over.”

She continued “Intimacy is another matter. If you are intimate with someone you are deeply attached emotionally to them. A lifelong connection. With sex, you are only connecting for the brief time you are having intercourse. You and I have an intimate relationship. I make love to you because I care for you and about you.”

“Another way of describing your cuckold fear is that you have had the flu numerous times. It is a physical event. An event you did not like but you got through it. You moved on, you did not stew and rage about it for the rest of your life. It was not pleasant but you got over it.”

She continued “It is the same as me having a brief sexual relationship with someone else. I feel I need these sexual contacts to be more of a woman, not just a wife for you. I hope you see where I am coming from on this.”

After taking a deep breath, Marvin spoke; “I find it was interesting that you said that you had the utmost respect for me, as a husband and a man. While were saying that, you are proposing the utmost disrespect for me as a man by wanting to have sex with other guys, then return your used pussy back to me as a consolation prize. This is humiliating to me and I find it terribly insulting.”

Almost indignantly he said “Your saying of “You’ll get over it.” displays an ignorance of how men think. From the beginning of time, men are hardwired in their DNA to not want other men to have sex with their mate. It goes to preservation of their linage and their manhood. You can go thousands of years back in time and see how men thought this way.”

He continued “There are 2 “C” words that are offensive to either men or women. For women it is cunt and for men it is cuckold. Cunt is a subjective opinion of one person by another. There is no proof or description of what actually happened for the woman to be called a cunt. To her friends she may not be a cunt. So, the word does no damage to the called-out woman.”

“Cuckold is descriptive and has an absolute meaning; that being a man whose wife had sex with someone other than her husband. Once you are a cuckold you are one forever because nobody or nothing can unfuck the man’s wife. That stain stays forever.”

“Cheryl, I would like for you to remain my wife. But I will not take part in your “Comparative Sex” experience. After you have evaluated the men you have had sex with, you will probably grade them as to size, effort, stamina and pleasure points. Then under the guise of increased sexual experience that you bring that shit back to me, you will compare these men to me.”

He continued “I will not stand for that. I make love to you with intimacy, like you mentioned. But your mind will be somewhere else as will mine. As I go to kiss your lips. in my mind I will see someone else’s cock in your mouth. How can I make love to you with that vision?”

Cheryl had no immediate response other than “No Marvin, it won’t be like that. I promise it won’t be like that.”

He was unmoved by her weak response. Diana concluded the session and asked the two of them to keep an open mind and think of possible compromises they could make.

WEEK 15: Summer was in full swing as Marvin played golf every Wednesday afternoon with Greta. Usually, it was just the two of them but occasionally they asked customers to join them, insurance customers for Greta and investments customers for Marvin.

After the round was over Marvin invited Greta over to his house for a steak and salad dinner, to which she gladly agreed. While sitting on his back patio after dinner Marvin said; “I need to bring you up to speed as to where I stand on my marriage. We had a required reconciliation meeting last week and we are no closer to an agreement than were when I filed. You already know the terms that I set back then.”

He then said “I feel you and I are very close to each other so I can tell you I really am fond of you and want to maintain our relationship. However, I have committed to not having any intercourse with anybody until my marriage is dissolved.”

“It would be hypocritical of me to divorce Cheryl for infidelity while having sex with you. I don’t know if you want to have sex with me or not, but I wanted you to know that is why I have not been pushy with moving our relationship to the next level. I hope I have not been presumptuous in thinking you are even interested in sex with me.”

His comments brought laughter to Greta as she said “You are not presumptuous at all. I really enjoy our time together. I actually appreciated your slow play toward sex. In the past every guy I dated tried to fuck me on the first date. That really turns me off. If I want sex with someone, I will let them know.”

“Marvin, I feel that you are my best friend in this town and I am ok with where we are today. It is important for you to get to the end of summer to get your Cheryl thing resolved before making many changes.”

The next day Marvin had asked Tara if she would go to an outdoor concert with him on Saturday night and she accepted. Greta was in Atlanta for one of her weekends with her LPGA friends. They drove around town in Marvin’s BMW convertible because it was so much fun on a great summer evening.

“I must tell you Marvin, you have made my son’s life and mine just wonderful this summer. Sean loves the junior golf program. He has made great friends. And I have a great friend in you. You have been so much fun to be with this summer. I hope the summer never ends.”

He said “I’m afraid it will end with a big bang. The last day of August is the end of Cheryl’s women’s empowerment project and we have to make a decision as to what we will do. Earlier this week we had a reconciliation meeting with our counselor. I made my speech, she made hers; neither of us moved from where we started at. Which brings me to a topic I hope I am not overstepping my boundaries. We have been close this summer and I enjoy the two of us and the three of us being together.”

He continues “By now the average couple either starts to have sex or they drift away from each other. I am purposely not having sex with anyone during Cheryl’s 6-month escapade. How can I divorce her for adultery when I am having sex with someone else? Consequently, I have been celibate for the past 15 weeks. The last time I was this long without sex was when I was a junior in high school.”

Laughing Tara said “I am so proud of you. I was worried you would go off the deep end with revenge sex and it could ruin you for life. I understand because as you know, I was once there. I suspected that was what you were doing. It will be interesting to see what happens with your life this fall.”

She asked “While we are on this discussion I want to ask if this “No Sex Rule” pertains to Greta also? I do not want to be pushy or possessive but I do know you spend a lot of time with her and do not want to be treated as a Plan B woman. My ex-husband had a girl friend and I was very hurt as he chose her over me. I hope you understand my position here.”

He held her hand and said “You do not have to worry about me two timing you. Greta and I are great friends and enjoy our time together. About 90% of the time, we are together we are talking about golf or business. She welcomed the “No Sex Rule” as she does not want to get involved with anyone without an idea of where the relationship is going. Please do not worry, you are very special to me and I do not want to hurt you.”

WEEK 16 to WEEK 17: The summer kept moving closer and closer to fall. Marvin played golf every Wednesday with Greta and had one evening out with her each week. The majority of the time Marvin spent with Tara included her son Sean, which was fine with both of them.

WEEK 18: Greta did not play in the country club July 4th tournament as she went to Atlanta to play golf and see friends. Marvin invited Tara and Sean to come to the fireworks display on the clubs driving range. Sean was hanging out with his golfing friends while they sat in lawn chairs, having drinks and enjoying the evening. Tara caught him staring in the distance toward his house. She touched his hand and smiled at him as he turned to her. She nodded and he nodded back.

No one had asked Cheryl out for the evening so she drove to the country club and parked a block away to watch the fireworks. With cars parked on either side of the street it was hard for her to turn and go back the way she came. She did not want to continue on this street as she used to live on this street.

She could see the club members walking in the street back to their cars and homes. She also saw Marvin and Tara walking hand in hand with a young boy, back to what had been her house. She did not want to appear to be a stalker so she sat there and sniffled until the Johnson party went in the house.

WEEK 19: Cheryl went to the clubs twice a week. She danced, laughed, drank cosmopolitans and had a great time. She maintained her dignity and could not be accused of having sex with any of her new friends. She enjoyed teasing and having the men chase after her. She let them grope her and she did her share of groping also. Evaluating who had the biggest and hardest cock, but she was careful. There was always the possibility of Marvin having an investigator following her that would document infidelity. She still did not know how he found out about Roberto. Luckily, they were only flirting with each other.

She did call Ted and asked him to call her when he was within driving distance of her home. Since Ted had a great experience fucking the willing and available Cheryl, he called and said he would be in Dallas the next weekend.

Cheryl asked to meet him half way and he eagerly agreed. Cheryl was still suspicious about Marvin’s knowledge of Roberto. She rented a car in case he had a locator in her car. She did not use her favorite purse as a locator or recorder could have been implanted there. The call to Ted was on a Walmart throw away phone not her cell phone. Once again, she had outsmarted Marvin.

The only problem was she was so horny in anticipation of the coming trip she was making her car seat wet. She put towels into the car and sat on one for the damp trip. They were to meet at a bar close to the hotel for a couple of drinks prior to going to their room.

Cheryl pulled into the far edge of the parking lot and took off her t shirt, shorts, bra and panties. She had a special treat for Ted, a thin gauze sun dress that was very transparent in the sunlight. It had the desired effect on Ted as she walked toward the outdoor dining area of the outdoor bar with the sun behind her. She confirmed his approval as his slacks bulged in front and as she grabbed his cock.

Ted toasted the arrival of his lady friend with a Macallan scotch and a 100mg Viagra pill. After two drinks they were ready to go the hotel. They were on the 5th floor of the Embassy Suites and just as the glass elevator opened at their floor Cheryl looked to see if anyone was in the hallway. Seeing no one, with one swift motion she pulled her sundress off while still in the glass elevator, flipped the dress to Ted and said “Hold this for me. I won’t need it for a couple of days.” She took the lead in walking down the hallway with a grinning Ted following behind those two luscious ass cheeks.

Cheryl was correct that she did not need her dress as the only thing that weekend she ever had on her, was Ted. When room service brought food or drinks, she bravely opened the door nude and took the tray from the young room service guy, smiling over her shoulder as the door shut on him.

The second towel came to good use as Ted’s semen kept leaking out of her the entire trip home. She thought “This arrangement is working just great, maybe I can arrange meetings with Ted every couple of months once Marvin and I are living together again. He would never know, so his silly cuckold phobia would not come into play.”

WEEK 20: Robbie had been working as a summer intern at a large manufacturing plant in Nashville. The internship will end in 4 weeks and the experience was very rewarding. The contacts he made will be very helpful for finding permanent employment after graduation. Robbie had been hanging out with a fellow intern by the name of Matt. Matt and Robbie had been assigned as roommates for the company’s internship orientation week early in the summer. After the orientation, Matt was assigned to Dallas. This week Matt was in Nashville for company meetings and was rooming with Robbie again.

Matt’s father was also in town and wanted to meet and take the two young men to dinner. When Matt’s father arrived, he introduced Robbie to Ted. They shook hands and went in the steakhouse. After dinner they had to decide where to spend the evening. Robbie and Matt wanted to go to a club for drinks and dancing. Even though Ted knew he would foot the bill for this he agreed to join in.

After an hour at a club close to the airport Matt remarked to his father “This club is like a cemetery compared to the last one you and I went to in Dallas.”

Ted replied “That was a wild evening.”

“What happened?” Asked Robbie

Laughing Matt responded “Couple months ago Dad almost got sexually assaulted at our table. A lady about Dad’s age wanted him really bad. She took him back to his hotel and fucked his brains out. Didn’t she Dad?”

“Matt, I think you need to show a little more respect for her than that. She was a very nice person. I really enjoyed her company, in addition to the sex. She was no skank or slut; she was out with some of her friends on their 25th anniversary of their graduation. She was in the process of getting a divorce and just wanted some male attention.”

There being too many similarities, Robbie started adding pieces onto the puzzle roaring around in his head. “What was her name?” he asked.

With a puzzled look Ted said “CJ, why?”

Robbie thought “Cheryl Johnson’s initials.”

Robbie said haltingly “My mother was in Dallas for her 25th class reunion 8 weeks ago. She and my dad may be finalizing that divorce in a month. Can you describe this woman to me please?”

Matt took out his cell phone and dialed to the picture of Cheryl and Ted kissing. He wanted to keep the other pictures out of Robbie’s view. He handed the phone to Robbie.

In 2 seconds, Robbie recognized his mother passionately kissing the man sitting in front of him. Out of habit he swiped his thumb to the next picture just as Matt reached for the phone. Matt said “I don’t think that will be a good idea Robbie.”

Robbie looked at him and said “It’s not for me. Dad has to know what happened as they either repair their marriage or finalize the divorce. He has to know.”

Matt removed his hand and Robbie saw his mother’s bare ass exposed, grinding on Ted’s lap at their table at the club.

Immediately Ted said “Robbie, she told me she was divorced. I do not have sex with married women. I have been hurt terribly bad, twice, by other men fucking my then wife. I will not do that disrespectful thing to another man.”

Robbie shook his head in acknowledgement, turned to Matt and asked that he forward the pictures to him. Robbie turned to Ted and said “I have to go now. Thank you for dinner and the drinks. Good bye”

WEEK 21: Greta called Marvin and asked him to please cook her a steak at his house after Wednesday afternoon golf. A request with which he gladly complied. After a great steak, red wine and dessert Greta told him please sit next to her on the couch. To him, this seemed like a breakup starting to develop. Maybe she had changed her mind after their discussion last week.

Greta started to speak with “You know how much I enjoy your company. We have become very close and I want to ask you something that I hope does not damage our relationship.” Marvin felt a lump in his throat. The ghost of Cheryl was alive.

She said “After spending five months with you I have found you are one of the most honest and smartest men I have ever known. Your business practices are efficient, profitable and you make every transaction good for your client and your company. I admire what you have built. I also know that one day you will want to slow down and work less. Your kids do not want to come back and run your company and I would hate to see a viable local company be sold off to a chain.”

“For this reason, Marvin, I would like for you to consider the two of us joining our companies together. Our companies are very compatible and would complement each other. My company, compared to my peers, is at maximum market penetration, much like yours.”

“If we join together, I would have access to a new client list and you would be able to get to my clients. By the time you get ready to retire I may be qualified to run the company and take your place as president. I can then buy out your half and you can retire or work part time.”

She continued “I know you have a big personal decision coming in a month but I felt I needed to brooch this subject now before you made another decision that would affect your company. You don’t have to make a decision now; it is just something that you can take your time to think about. We spend a lot of time together so we can work on this piece by piece until we get to a decision.”

Marvin beamed when saying “I was so afraid you were going to say you did not want to be around me anymore. Instead of an expected pain I got a wonderful proposal. I really like your idea. I was hoping Robbie would come back and join the company but after his experience this summer, he is firmly behind his decision to get an engineering degree.”

“I can see how we can blend the companies. When we entertained joint customers this summer, I thought that was very beneficial. I am so glad you brought this up as I have been very impressed with your business acuity and dedication. I would love to turn my family business legacy over to you one day.”

WEEK 22: After much agonizing, Robbie called Cindi to tell her about their mother’s infidelity. He emailed her a picture of Cheryl kissing Ted for her review.

Cindi replied “I don’t think a kiss like that would fit the description of infidelity, however you have Ted’s admission that they did have sex.”

Robbie then emailed her the picture of their mothers’ bare ass on Ted’s lap saying “I did not want to send you this disgusting photo. But between what Ted told me and this picture there is no doubt she fucked him.”

Robbie had the benefit of some time to calm down from his outrage over his mother’s actions. This picture caught Cindi cold and she went absolutely wild calling her mother all kinds of fowl names.

In tears she said “Can you imagine what this is going to do to Dad. He dedicated his life to that selfish slut and look how she repaid him. This is awful. How do we tell Dad? He has to know what she did for her sexual reevaluation.”

“I know!” exclaimed Robbie. “As eldest do you want to tell him? Or should I as I did talk to Ted.”

“Let’s do this together” was her reply. We should do this in person instead of by phone. He is going to need us. What’s left of our family needs to stick together.”

WEEK 23: Marvin was surprised when Cindi called and asked if she and Robbie could join him this coming weekend. Mavin was happy they were coming to visit. He had missed them as this summer was the first that Robbie had been gone.

That happiness was destroyed as they told and showed him what Cheryl had done in Dallas on her 25th anniversary trip with her girlfriends. Marvin’s voice was measured but his face was pale.

Softly he said “I thought this would happen and I dreaded the day I knew for sure. She was so excited about this sexual experience thing that in my mind I knew it was going to happen. But in my heart, I hoped it would not. I did not have an investigator follow her as I didn’t really want to know, but deep down I needed to know. The thing I hate the most is for you two to see this picture.”

“She was a good mother to you and a good wife to me. Too bad she went off the rails. This has been one example of the saying ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ not being valid. The longer I live without her the less I want her back.”

With his decision on divorce cemented, Marvin wanted to spend the rest of the weekend enjoying his children. They purposely did not want to contact their mother as they did not want to see her. Their laughter was strained but it was enjoyable to see their father. They were proud he was not a weeping, sniveling basket case, but Marvin has had over 6 months to prepare for this.

WEEK 24 and 25: Cheryl was preparing to move back in with Marvin. She was packing clothes she knew she would not wear for a while, like the gauze sun dress. She was confident that Marvin did not have any solid reason to divorce her for infidelity. Besides, she was ready to fuck her husband like Ted had fucked her.

She was ready to rock Marvin’s world and wondered how she could bring up the subject of the magic 100mg Viagra tablet without tipping her hand. He would forget about trading up after a weekend of her sexual barrage.

She was ready to leave her 6-month lifestyle experiment. She wanted to be back in Marvin’s large beautiful house as opposed to small apartment that was closing in on her. She missed her Mrs. Marvin Johnson status around town.

She had forgotten how fun it was to go to the formal dinners with a new dress and sit at the head table. She missed the always fun July 4th party at the country club. Those friends had moved on and she did not get as many calls for coffee or lunch at the club.

The clubbing was not as exciting as she thought it would be. Sure, she danced and kissed a number of her potential suitors but no sparks flew. All those guys wanted was to fuck her, not after several dinner dates but that night. Right now, in the bathroom, in the parking lot, it did not matter. Yes, that was what she wanted in sexual experiences but as she reviewed the other divorced women being hit on at the club, the less she wanted to be like them.

To her Ted was different, that really was what she envisioned for a lover. Maybe she can sneak off every 3 or 4 months and meet Ted for a weekend of great sex. Marvin would be clueless.

Even though she was confident in her prospects of being rejoined with her husband, she thought it was odd for neither of her kids to have called her for several weeks. She has called them but the calls just dropped off. The same thing happened when she tried to call Ted, the call was just dropped. Her texts and emails went unanswered. The only calls she was getting were the men from the night club that wanted to fuck her. She thought maybe she needs a new cell phone.

WEEK 26: At Marvin’s request, his attorney contacted Cheryl’s attorney and asked that the parties meet at his office at 1 pm for the final decision on the divorce. He requested two things; a current STD report and that both Marvin and Cheryl sign the divorce papers at the start of that meeting. If the two decide to stay together they will symbolically tear up the final divorce decree and get back together. The attorney will have champagne and four glasses on the table.

The outrage was quite vocal as Cheryl was to be tested for STD like a common tramp. She hated going to a clinic where she knew some of the employees to ask for that test. She knew she was clean, or really hoped she was.

Cheryl spent a lot of time on her makeup for this meeting. A new fashionable sexy dress was required. She looked forward to being Marvin’s wife again as she realized she really did miss him. She was the first to arrive at the attorney’s office, followed closely by her attorney. Marvin was the last to arrive and apologized for being late as he laid a bright red envelope on the table.

Cheryl’s heart started to beat faster. She was thinking that he has resurrected the Paris trip and they will have a second honeymoon there.

The STD reports were exchanged without either being infected. Cheryl breathed a sigh of relief.

Both parties signed the final divorce decree and then Marvin asked Cheryl if she had anything to say.

She began “This has been a long 6 months without the love of my life being with me. But with all adversity there comes the ability to make improvements. That improvement comes in the form of being re-imaged as a more enlightened woman that is even more committed to my marriage than before. I would like to thank my loving and selfless husband for giving me the opportunity to spread my wings and learn to fly. Marvin, you will never regret the gift you gave me as I will demonstrate my faithful love for you the remaining days of my life. ”

Now it was his turn and he said “Faith is trust in someone. All marriage vows speak to faithfulness by both parties because without trust there is no love.”

“That brings us to the initiation of this divorce petition and my desire for my wife and I to remain faithful to each other. I spent time with several women during the last six months. I did not have any sexual contact with anyone during this time. Cheryl, did you remain faithful to me?”

Shocked at the formality of his comments she said “Yes, I did remain faithful to you.”

Marvin grimaced at her comment, Cheryl noticed his reaction and became worried. He picked up the red envelope and pulled out a picture of her kissing Ted. He asked “Were you being faithful here?”

She started to stutter and mutter then said. “It was only a kiss. It didn’t mean a thing. I was not being unfaithful.”

He pulled out the other vulgar picture “Is this being faithful?”

She was so flustered that her attorney advised her to be quiet. But she said “How did you get this picture? Have you been following me? My dress accidently pulled up when I tripped and fell on this guy I did not know.”

Sternly he said “This is the most disgusting situation I have even been in. This picture was taken by one of our sons’ friend in Dallas. Our son found out about the picture as Matt and his father were laughing at a slut that jumped all over Ted at a club. They confirmed this was you by showing him the photo displayed here.”

At this revelation Cheryl’s face went pale and tears welled up in her eyes.

Marvin snarled “Imagine the pain of a son seeing his mother’s bare ass in a crowded club as she tried to pick up some guy to fuck her. Our son sat across the table from the man who made his father a cuckold and his mother a slut. Imagine what went on in his mind looking at this disgusting display of wanton debauchery. And you wonder why the kids won’t return your calls.”

He turned to his attorney, handed him both signed copies of the decree and said “Please file these.”

“Marvin, the sex meant nothing to me. It meant nothing to Ted. It was just physical activity, no love, no devotion.”

Sternly he said “That is even more cruel Cheryl; that you would think fucking Ted was nothing to you, while you knew it meant the world to me. How disrespectful to me is that. That is the worst thing you could ever say to me.”

Cheryl dissolved into a puddle of tears, moaning and mumbling. She did not have enough strength to stand to leave, even with her attorney pulling her up by her arm. She kept repeating “NO, NO, NO. I want to be your wife again. Please forgive me. I promise to be faithful forever. Please don’t do this to me. I do not want to be a divorcee like the other women at the clubs. Please don’t push me away. I’m sorry, I’ll never do that again.”

As he walked out of the office, he could hear her howling and crying all the way to his BMW.

Marvin took the rest of the day off. He went home as he felt it would be a danger for him to drive or even be around people. He poured a large glass of scotch, lit up a cigar and tuned in the Frank Sinatra channel on Sirius radio. The scene from his patio deck was quiet and serene, just what he needed. He looked at his muted cell phone and saw a call every 5 minutes from Cheryl, then he deleted those calls. Both Tara and Greta had called several times as did Robbie and Cindi. “All in due time, all in due time.” he thought.

Secretly, he knew this would be the final result. Cheryl was so intent to do this, it was inevitable. That is why she had to take all of her possessions out as she left six months ago. He wanted all of her gone so he could get used to being without her. Her, the woman he loved but then lost with the passage of time. Ever since last summer he had seen her discontent with their marriage swelling. Whether she cheated or not, was immaterial, she was gone. He recognized that as he spent time with Tara and Greta, they displayed more concern for him than Cheryl did. They had exceeded the 25-year warranty on their marriage.

It was either the scotch, the cigar, exhaustion, just plain relief or a combination of all of those that he remained unconscious all afternoon and into the evening. He awoke with a gentle touch from Tara. She had a concerned look on her face and asked “Are you okay?”

He smiled weakly and said “Yes, why shouldn’t I be ok?”

She laughed at him and said “I see you didn’t lose your sense of humor in the divorce.”

Groggily he replied “It turned out to be what I expected six months ago. She is gone. It has been nice just sitting here in the quiet. I have been emotionally preparing for this day since she walked out. Not knowing the exact details but I knew what the end result would be. I was not blindsided on this, I at least, got to make alternative plans for my future and not be a rudderless canoe for the next year.”

She sat next to him with her arm around his shoulder and said “Does that future include me?”

When he quickly answered “Absolutely” she moved her face to his and smothered him with a kiss. Instead of a kiss of “hello or goodbye” this was their first kiss of passion and desire. It did not go unnoticed by Marvin.

She then said “As long as you have plans for me, I can wait. Do not hurry or rush to do anything. You are feeling the final gasps of a 25-year relationship. It does not disappear quickly. I will be here for you.” Then she kissed him again and left.

Cheryl was so certain that her husband would welcome her back to their home she made arrangements to leave her apartment at the end of the 6-month lease. Now she needed a new place to stay. Since the apartment building project filled up, the owners did not offer her the “new apartment discount”. Instead, they increased the rent by 40%, putting her in a cash flow bind.

She did not push for a lot of money in the divorce settlement because she just knew that Marvin would take her back. Besides, the house was a gift from his grandparents and the company was passed to Marvin by his father prior to their marriage.

The divorce papers were just for show to prevent people from thinking he was a cuckold. Diana Marco testified that Cheryl would not give up her right to have sex with other men forcing Marvin to divorce her. The judge affirmed her right to do so and approved a settlement that was not advantageous to Cheryl. She did get to keep her teacher’s retirement account. Since she was fully employed and there were no children involved no alimony was awarded. This was not accounted for in her new budget as she expected to be in Marvin’s house this week.

She was going to have to move to a cheaper place. Paying moving expenses again, plus deposits was going to hit her hard. She would like a small house but that would entail yardwork. Something that her now ex-husband took care of and she had no interest in preforming those duties. She did find a smaller apartment in a less desirable neighborhood that fit her budget. The thought of an evening job terrified her. Not for the danger or inconvenience but of the humiliation of being a waitress and having to wait on her former country club friends.

Her kids are now returning her calls but the bond between them and their mother has been damaged. It will take some time for the possibility of a full recovery. They both promised to some see her the next time they were in town.

It was now fall and the trees were turning colors, the days getting shorter and the nights becoming cooler. Cheryl shivered and thought “It’s going to be a long cold winter.”

The next morning was Saturday and Marvin slept late. He had told his Saturday golf group that he would not be playing that day. Around 10am Greta appeared at his door. She said “I heard it was brutal but it is finished.”

“Who told you that?”

Greta smiled and said “We have the same attorney silly. He knows how close you and I are. Plus, I threatened to break all of his golf clubs and his left arm if he did not tell me.”

He laughed and hugged her. She asked “Finally over?”

“Yes, finally over.”

She said “Good. As you start making plans for the rest of your life, I have some things to tell you. Things I wanted to tell you before but you had enough on your plate and I was having so much fun with you I just could not tell you this. Please sit down with me.”

He became nervous as he tried to imagine what she was going to say.

In a soft voice Greta said “The ladies around town consider you quite a catch and as the final decree is filed more women will come on to you. As you make plans for your life you may be intending to get married again one day. If I were the lucky one to be asked, I would have to tell you “No”, because I am already married.”

That snapped him to his feet. “What, when, how”, was all he could formulate in his mind. He asked “Who is your husband and where does he live?

“My wife lives in Atlanta; we have been married for 5 years. One of the reasons I go there often is to see her. Marvin, I am a lesbian, and have been for 10 years. That does not negate the fact that I love you as my best friend and want you to always be in my life. My love for you does not include sex. That is why I was not jealous of you being with Tara.”

“I could love you but not marry you; your penis comes in the way of that ever happening. As far as I am concerned, we can go forward just like we have been this summer, so long as Tara does not object. In fact, I would like to have a better relationship with Tara. I want her to know I am not out to steal her man. If she is important to you then she is important to me. Afterall we are business partners.”

She continued “I was happy and relieved with the ‘No Sex Rule’ you put in place this summer. It did not put me into an uncomfortable position. My wife does not want me to have sex with you any more than you did not want other men to have sex with your wife. She does not like the idea of me cuckolding her. I have a great friend who just divorced his wife for having sex with another man.”
