I looked at Barry lying there next to me on the bed and wished I could go to bed with him every night and wake up with him every morning instead of just once in a while.  What was hardest on me was knowing that Barry wanted it to, but I just could not do it.  I knew what would happen if I did and I just could not do that to him.

I met Bobby in junior high and I was his from the first time he said hi and introduced himself to me.  He asked me to go to the movies with him and I said yes and from then on we were an instant couple.  As far as the rest of the kids were concerned we were ‘The Golden Couple.”  Bobby was the quarterback and captain of the football team and I was a cheerleader and class president.  We were the Homecoming King and Queen and it seemed like all school social activities revolved around us. 

 

My eighteenth birthday and the senior prom were on the same day and following the dance and after two after prom parties I surrendered my virginity to Bobby.  From that point on we made love whenever and wherever we could.

 

Our football team, under Bobby’s leadership, went undefeated for two years straight and Bobby was besieged with offers from a dozen universities and colleges and he chose State.  I was a straight A student and I had half a dozen scholarships and though I really wanted to go to CU I went to State because that is where Bobby was going.

 

Bobby and I were so hot for each other that sometimes we did not use good sense and halfway into our freshman year at State I got pregnant.  Bobby didn’t care.  When I told him he just smiled and said:

 

“What the hell baby, we were going to get married later on anyway.  It will just happen sooner is all.”

 

Neither of our families were happy about it, but they offered their support.  The plan was for me to stay in school until I had the baby and then the grandparents would take turns babysitting while I went back to school and finished my degree program.

 

Bobby was on his way to a lucrative career in the NFL and our future looked bright and then it all came crashing down.  Bobby went out with some friends one night and got drunk.  He and his buddies were watching some guys who were doing some ‘extreme’ skateboarding and Bobby’s friends were commenting on the skill necessary to be able to pull off some of the moves and Bobby, never a shrinking violet, said that anybody with a sense of balance could do what the boarders were doing.  “Bullshit” one of his buddies said and Bobby said;

 

“Bet you ten bucks I can do it.  I’ve never been on a skateboard in my life, but if you want to put up the money I’ll show you just how easy it is.”

 

  His buddy pulled out a ten dollar bill, Bobby borrowed a skateboard from one of the boarders and promptly broke his leg in three places and his football career was history.  He lost his full ride and since he had been a mediocre student at best – just keeping his grades high enough to allow him to stay on the team – he rapidly lost interest in school and dropped out.

 

Until that point married life had been fine for us, but things started to change.  Bobby found work easily, but after finding a job he couldn’t keep it.  I blame Coach Nichols for that.  Coach Nichols was Bobby’s high school football coach.  When Bobby took over as quarterback the team had never had a winning season and Coach Nichols knew that his time as a coach was running out, 

 

Bobby had a natural ability, a feel for the game, and in the huddle he started changing the plays that Coach Nichols sent in.  The team started winning and although Coach Nichols kept calling Bobby into his office, reading him the riot act and threatening to bench him if he didn’t follow the coach’s instructions Bobby just listened politely and then went out and did what he felt he had to do to win.  In the huddle everyone looked to him and did what he said.  He was in charge.  He was the one in control.  Bobby was a natural leader and Coach Nichols bowed to the inevitable and left Bobby alone and Bobby in return gave him his first ever winning season and then went undefeated for the next two years.

 

Bobby left school with the mindset that he knew better than anyone else.  He was the leader, he was in charge and he told people what to do; they didn’t tell him.  It didn’t work that way out in the real world.  When the boss told you what to do you didn’t argue with him if you wanted to keep your job, but Bobby never seemed to learn that lesson and it cost him job after job after job.

 

                                           x-x-x-x-x-x

 

I was in my sixth month and was hurrying through the hall to make it to a class I was late for when someone tripped me and I fell to the floor.  I woke up in the hospital and after making sure that I was okay they told me that I had lost my baby.  Bobby went out and got drunk and came home calling me a clumsy bitch who had cost him his son.  Our marriage went downhill from there.

 

Because Bobby couldn’t hold a job I had to quit school and go to work to help support us.  I quickly learned not to leave money where Bobby could get his hands on it because as soon as he had some he went out drinking and when he drank he usually got drunk and when he got drunk he got abusive.  The first time he came home drunk and hit me I was so shocked and upset that I ran out of the house crying and drove down to the park.  I sat on a bench crying for over an hour and when I finally stopped I went home and found Bobby passed out on the living room floor.  I left him there and went to bed. 

 

In the morning Bobby couldn’t apologize enough for what he had done, but six days later he came home drunk and did it again.  But I’d had those six days to think about it and I vowed that he would never do it again and get away with it so when he did it I left the apartment and waited two hours before going back and found him passed out on the bed.  When he woke up in the morning I had him tied hands and feet in an X to the bedposts.  I waited until he was wide awake and yelling before I went into the bedroom with an aluminum pot and pounded on his body.  I stayed away from knees, ankles, wrists and elbows – and his head of course – but every other inch of his body felt that pot.  When I was done I told him the next time he came home drunk and used me for a punching bag I would use a cast iron skillet and I wouldn’t take care to miss things like knees and elbows.  Then I left him tied up and went and had my hair done.  That didn’t turn out to be one of my better decisions because Bobby wasn’t able to get up to pee.

 

Bobby was a quick leaner.  He stepped up his verbal abuse, but he never raised a hand against me again.  But what he couldn’t do to me he could and did do to others.  Even though our own relationship was in the toilet he was still a very jealous man and if he saw me with another man, no matter how innocent it might have been, Bobby would accuse the other man of trying to get into my pants.  Sometimes words would be exchanged and the fight would be on.  It had happened a half dozen times over the course of a year and twice Bobby had sent guys to the emergency room at the hospital.  His luck held though and he was able to get away with it because witnesses were never clear as to who threw the first punch and Bobby was always able to claim he was just defending himself.  That and the fact that none of those he fought ever pressed charges against him.

 

 As I looked down on Barry sleeping peacefully on the bed I knew I could never let Bobby find out about him.  If Bobby could send guys to the hospital for just talking with me or having a cup of coffee with me I couldn’t even begin to imagine what Bobby would do to a real lover.

 

                                  x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

 

Barry was an accident.  Regardless of how things were going between me and Bobby I had never even thought about another man.  It happened because of Bobby.

 

One night I got a call from Mack Ellis the owner of Mack’s Bar and he asked me to please come down and get Bobby.

 

“He is way to drunk to drive.  I took his keys and had a couple of guy’s park so as to block his car in case he has another set of keys.  I can’t let him drive.  The way things are now if he drives and kills somebody I’ll be the one who gets sued because I sold him the booze.

 

“Let him walk.  Maybe the exercise and fresh air will do him some good.”

 

“Can’t do that either.  He steps off the curb in front of a car and I get sued.  Do me a favor and come down here and get him  I’ll repay you by giving you your first two rounds free the next time you come in here with your friends after work.”

 

“Just me or the whole group?”

 

“The group.  Come on honey, come and get him.”

 

I got to Mack’s and saw cars bumper to bumper both in front of and in back of Bobby’s F-150 and I could see him sitting in the truck.  When I walked over and pulled open the door and the interior light came on a shocked Billy Jean Evans pulled her head up off of Bobby exposing his wet cock.  Billy Jean had gone to school with us and she had always had the hots for Bobby.  Twice she had made a move on him trying to split us up and God knows right then I wished she had been successful. 

 

Billy Jean’s face was wet with tears and she cried, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.  Please don’t tell Gary.  Oh God, don’t let Gary find out.”

 

Gary was her husband.

 

“Maybe I won’t tell Gary if you tell me how long this has been going on.”

 

“Maybe eight or nine months.  Please, I’m begging you not to tell Gary.”

 

“Why would I want to tell Gary?  He might do something to put a stop to it.  You are welcome to this piece of shit.  You keep him busy and he will leave me alone.  Fact is he is going to need you because he is never going to touch me again.”

 

I slammed the truck door and went home.  I took everything of Bobby’s out of the bedroom and tossed it on the living room floor and then I dropped a pillow and a blanket on the couch which is where he would sleep from now on.  The only way he would get into the bedroom again was when I moved out.  He staggered in around three in the morning to drunk to do much more than fall into the chair next to the couch.  He was still there when I left for work in the morning.

 

That night when it was time to get off work Agnes asked me if I would like to stop for a drink with the group.  I had stopped with them on Monday and normally I limited myself to once every two weeks or so, but Bobby and Billy Jean were still on my mind and I really didn’t want to go home just then.  We had been at the bar about an hour when an extremely good looking man came in.  Agnes said:

 

 “Oh good, he came.  I wasn’t sure that he would.”

 

 She stood up and waved and the man saw her, smiled and headed for our table.  Agnes introduced us all to her brother Barry and informed us that he had just moved to town to start a new job.  For some reason Barry homed in on me.  To me it didn’t make much sense since out of the five women at the table I was the only married woman and two of the others at the table were better looking than me or at least I thought so.

 

He took turns dancing with all the girls, but I seemed to be his partner more often than any of the others.  A couple of hours later and after several drinks I was just loose enough to comment on it.  Specifically the part about me being the only married woman there.

 

“It is because you are married that I’m spending most of my time with you.”

 

“I don’t understand.”

 

“I’m not dumb and I know why Agnes invited me to join the group here tonight.  She is in her matchmaking mode.  Her plan is to get me hooked up with one of her single girlfriends, but I am not interested in getting anything going with a lady right now.  I have just too much on my plate with the moving and settling into my new job to take on a girlfriend.  You are married and therefore safe.  As an added benefit you are also the best looking woman in the place.”

 

It must have been the drinks I’d had that caused me to say it, but I smiled at him and said:

 

“Don’t be too sure about the safe part.  I’m a little pissed at my hubby right now and I’m thinking of giving him some payback and you are kind of yummy looking.”

 

“Yummy?  Me?  No one has ever called me yummy before.”

 

“I probably shouldn’t have either.  I think my alcohol intake is having an effect on me.”

 

 “Not meaning to be too forward but I kind of like the effect.  Tell me more about the yummy part.”

 

“I think you should take me back to the table before I do something stupid.”

 

When I got home I saw that all of Bobby’s stuff had been picked up off of the living room floor, but I didn’t see it piled up anywhere.  I found that he had moved it all back into the bedroom and he was in bed asleep.  I got a glass of water and poured it on his head.  It woke him up in a hurry and he sat up and glared at me, but before he could say a word I said:

 

“You don’t sleep in this room anymore.  It’s the couch or get out and go stay with Billy Jean.  Get your crap out of this room and do it now.”

 

“Bullshit!  This is my home and my bed and I’m staying here.”

 

“Okay asshole; your choice, but as soon as you fall asleep I’ll get my ropes and my cast iron frying pan.  Sweet dreams asshole.”

 

I walked out of the room and a couple of minutes later Bobby came out carrying some of his clothes.  It took him five minutes to get his stuff out of the bedroom and then I went in and went to bed.

 

In the morning Bobby was up and making coffee when I came into the kitchen.  He looked at me and said:

 

“Can we talk about this?”

 

“What’s to talk about?  I caught you with your cock in Billy Jean’s mouth.”

 

“Ah come on baby, I was drunk and she took advantage of me.  You know she’s always had the hots for me.  I was blitzed and she saw her chance and took it.  I was too out of it to know what was going on.”

 

“My turn to say bullshit Bobby.  You have not been drunk and out of your mind for nine months and that’s how long Billy Jean says you have been getting it on with her.  I don’t have the money for a divorce and this apartment is the best I can afford right now so if you aren’t decent enough to move out I guess I’m stuck with having to live with you right now, but all we are is roommates Bobby.  Just two people sharing a place to stay.”

 

Two days later I was on my lunch break and sitting at a table in Patty Ann’s when George Tarkis came in and saw me and came over and asked me if he could join me.  George had gone to school with me and we hadn’t seen each other in a couple of years.  We were talking about things like “Any idea where _________ is now?” and “Whatever happened to ________” when Bobby came in and saw us.  He came over and said:

 

“So this is why you are turning your back on me.  Get up asshole.  I’m going to teach you what happens when you mess with another man’s wife.”

 

George started to say that he wasn’t messing around with me, Bobby slapped him across the face and the fight was on.  George wasn’t a push-over and Bobby was getting the worst of it until he grabbed a sugar container off of the table and smacked George in the head with it.  George went down and Bobby started kicking him and wouldn’t have stopped if I hadn’t picked up a chair and swung it into Bobby’s back.  He turned around in a rage and I stood there holding the chair and snarled at him:

 

“Come on Bobby; do it!  Come after me Bobby, please come after me.”

 

He knew right away he was fucked if he did because he knew I would press charges on him in a heartbeat.  He was standing there staring at me and breathing hard when the cops came in.  Herb, the owner of Patty Ann’s had called them and he told them that Bobby has attacked George while he was sitting there at the table and the cops cuffed Bobby and took him away.  George got stupid and wouldn’t press charges.

 

“I knew he was a jealous asshole and I had a fair idea of how he would act if he saw me sitting with his wife.  I should have known better.  I guess you could say that I brought it on myself” is what he told the cops and Bobby walked again. 

 

The only thing that happened to him is that Herb barred him from Patty Ann’s.

The next day at work I was sitting at my desk when I heard “Good morning pretty lady.” I looked up and saw Barry standing there.  “I was in the neighborhood and thought I would drop in and see if Agnes would like to have lunch with me, but she has already made other plans.  How about you?  Would you like to have lunch with a poor boy new to town and not knowing many people?”

 

He smiled at me and I melted a little inside and said that I would love to have lunch with him.  Lunch went well and he asked me to join him for a drink after work and I had to remind him that he was talking to a married woman.

 

“True” he said, “But you did say that you owed your husband some payback and I’m offering to help.”

 

I was tempted.  Lord knows that I was tempted.  It had been almost a month since I’d had intercourse with Bobby and I was a bit on the horny side, but I wasn’t quite ready to take that big of a step yet.  It wasn’t that I was feeling all that virtuous, but I hadn’t yet decided what I was going to do about Bobby.  Our marriage was over as far as I was concerned, but the fact was that we were still married.  Not that I would let the fact that I was wearing the ring Bobby gave me keep me from getting payback, but I just wasn’t ready.  I had things to think about.  I knew what Barry wanted.  Why else would a man go after a married woman?  True, being new in town he could be just looking to make friends, but how likely was that?  On the other hand he was a good looking guy and I could do a lot worse if I decided to get even with Bobby.  But the bottom line was that I just wasn’t ready yet and so I said:

 

“Maybe some other time.  Right now just isn’t a good time.”

 

He smiled and said, “That sounds like maybe some day there will be a right time.  I guess I’ll just have to keep asking you to have lunch with me.”

 

When I got home that night Bobby was sitting on the couch waiting for me.  Before I could even take my coat off he said:

 

“I’m sorry.  I really am sorry baby doll.  I’ve made a mess of things and I know it.  I’ve been feeling so damned sorry for myself over the way things turned out that I haven’t been thinking straight.  To be honest about it I know I’ve had my head up my ass, but I’m going to change baby doll.  I can’t bear the thought of losing you.  I know I haven’t treated you right, but I can change.  I’m going to change.  I’m going to turn it around.  I’m going to work for Marcus Gelling.  He is going to help me get my CDL and I’m going to drive for him.  All I’m asking is that you give me a chance.  Don’t give up on me.”

 

I had never heard Bobby talk that way before and I did have a lot of my life invested in him, but Bobby had let me down too many times.  Still.  What would it hurt to give him a chance?

 

“Okay Bobby, I’ll give you a chance, but you are still on the couch until you show me that you have really changed.”

 

                                               x-x-x-x-x-x

 

Bobby did get his CDL with both tanker and hazmat endorsements and he did go to work driving for Marcus.  He made good money and it looked like he had finally found a job he could keep.  The driving job was ‘over the road’ and sometimes Bobby would be gone for five or six days.  He had stopped drinking and it looked like he was finally getting it together.  He wasn’t back in my bed yet, but our relationship was getting better and if it continued I thought we might just have a chance to put things back together.

 

I had lunch with Barry at least once a week.  I enjoyed talking with him.  I didn’t do anything to lead him on, but he did keep letting me know that he was there for me.

 

Things were looking better for Bobby and me right up until the night I ran into Bev Allison.  Bev had been a schoolmate and was one of the few who had tried to warn me away from Bobby way back when.  Naturally I assumed she was another Billy Jean who wanted to get me away from Bobby so she could get her hooks in him so I ignored her. 

 

I had worked some overtime and didn’t feel like going home and fixing myself dinner.  Bobby was on a five day run to somewhere and not due back for another day so I stopped at Patty Ann’s.  The place was full and I didn’t see an empty table or booth and I was about to turn and leave when I caught sight of Bev waving at me.  She was in a booth by herself and I walked over and she invited me to join her.  We made some small talk for a while and then she said:

 

“I see you finally wised up to Bobby.”

 

A couple of people had seen the altercation between Bobby, Billy Jean and me in Mack’s parking lot and the word had spread and most of the people who knew Bobby and me had heard about it.  I shrugged and said:

 

“I wised up and we had a sit down and I think we’ve straightened things out.  He had one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel and my hand in the middle of his back ready to push when he decided to change his ways.”

 

Bev looked at me for a couple of seconds before saying, “Bobby change his ways?  Except where Bobby is concerned I always thought of you as one of the swifter girls I knew.  If Bobby changed his ways why did I see him going into room 141 at the Bide-A-Wee motel with that tramp Helen Catron?”

 

“When was this?”

 

“About two hours ago.”

 

“It couldn’t have been Bobby.  He’s on a trip and not due back until tomorrow.”

 

“You are in denial honey.  I’ve known Bobby since the third grade and my eyesight is 20/20.  I know Bobby when I see him.”

 

I suddenly lost my appetite, told Bev goodbye and I got up and left Patty Ann’s.  I was not in denial, but I couldn’t go on hearsay.  I drove out to the edge of town and there in the Bide-A-Wee parking lot was Bobby’s Ford pick up truck.  No mistaking it either; not with the vanity plate “QBACK” on the back bumper.

 

I drove back into town and decided to stop at the Starlight Lounge for a drink.  I saw Agnes and Barry sitting at a table and Agnes saw me and waved me over.  I joined them and then for the next half hour we talked and I sipped a margarita.  Then Agnes said she had to be going and Barry said he was going to stick around and keep me company.

 

After Agnes was gone Barry asked me to dance and while we were dancing he asked me why I was out drinking alone and I told him.  He pulled me in tighter and said:

 

“Sounds like the perfect night to get that payback you talked about.”

 

I looked up at him and said, “I think you are right” and so began my love affair with Barry.  We left the Starlight and I followed him to his apartment.  It was only going to be a one night stand that I was going to throw in Bobby’s face when he came home.  An “If you can do it so can I” thing, but that is not the way it turned out. 

 

My only sexual experiences were with Bobby and with Bobby it was always a couple of minutes of foreplay and then get on and go.  He would suck on my breasts, finger my pussy while I fondled his cock and then it was ten minutes of hard driving sex in the missionary or doggie position.  I had no complaints because Bobby always brought me off.  I had always wanted to give Bobby head and he wanted it, but he refused to lick my pussy so my position was “I don’t get it, you don’t get it.

 

Barry was totally different and an eye opening experience.  He spent twenty minutes just kissing me and another ten slowly undressing me.  Once I was nude and on the bed he started kissing me and then kissed and licked his way all the way from my mouth to my pussy.  Once he reached my pussy he started eating me and I lost it.  I screamed, I cried, I moaned and I came like crazy.

 

I fell asleep in Barry’s arms absolutely sexually satisfied and exhausted.  In the morning all thoughts of a one night stand were gone and so was the idea of throwing my infidelity in Bobby’s face.  Doing that would never mean seeing Barry again and I was not about to let that happen.  Not after the night I had just had.

 

For the next three months when Bobby was on trips I was with Barry.  We didn’t fuck, we made love.  We made love three and four times a week and when Bobby was home I couldn’t wait for him to be gone again  To keep Bobby from getting suspicious I started having sex with him again and I let him think that we might make a go of it after all, but it wasn’t going to happen.  Not after my experiencing Barry.

 

I wanted to leave Bobby and marry Barry and Barry wanted it also.  He even offered to pay for the divorce, but as much as I wanted to do it I couldn’t.  I had seen too many times what Bobby did to guys who just talked to me or sat with me for a cup of coffee.  I could only imagine what he might do to someone who had not only touched me, but who had made love to me.  I wanted Barry, but not at the expense of Barry being put in the hospital – or worse.

 

                                           x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

 

It was a night when Bobby was home and he had already gone to bed.  I was sitting on the couch reading a novel about a man who had framed his wife’s lover and had gotten him sent to prison and it gave me an idea and the more I thought about that idea the more I thought that it was the answer to my problem.  I would have to be careful about it and do it so Barry never found out, but if I could pull it off Barry and I could live happily ever after.

 

The idea was simple.  Take a lover and make sure that Bobby found out about it.  Bobby would lose it, go after the guy and hurt him bad enough that Bobby would go to jail.  Once he was locked away I could divorce him, wait an acceptable period and then marry Barry.  The hard part would be to decide who to take as a lover.  I couldn’t do it to someone I liked, but by the same token could I have sex with someone I didn’t like?  And I would have to have sex with him to make sure Bobby would be enraged enough to do the kind of thing that would get him tossed into jail and put away for a while.  I would have to do it.  I would have to make myself do it!  But I’d have to do it in a way that would keep Barry from finding out about it.  He would never in a million years understand.

 

Two days after I came up with the idea I was in Dawson’s Mercantile looking for some kitchen curtains when a voice behind me said:

 

“How you doing sweet cheeks?”

 

I turned around and saw Charlie Martin.  Charlie was the guy who all through school hit on all the girls and who thought he was God’s gift to women and at that exact moment I thought he was God’s gift to me.  Charlie had a reputation and it was both good and bad.  The girls who did get with Charlie raved about the size of his cock and what it did to them, but the down side was that if Charlie scored with you he let the world know.  There always seemed to be a girl willing to pay that price if she could experience what Charlie was reputed to have. 

 

I stood there looking at Charlie and I knew that if Charlie took a shot at me and I took him up on it he would talk about it and the word would get back to Bobby.  It might be even better than that.   Charlie had been the quarterback until Bobby beat him out of the position and Charlie had hated Bobby ever since.  If I gave in to Charlie it was possible that Charlie himself would tell Bobby just to rub his nose in it.  Charlie would make the perfect stalking horse.  All I had to do was get Charlie to take that shot and I knew just how to make it happen.  I smiled at him, looked him up and down slowing my gaze in the area of his genitals and said:

 

“Hi yourself handsome.”

 

Charlie took that and ran with it.  After a minute or two of “How have you been” and “what are you doing with yourself these days” Charlie said:

 

“Are you doing anything right now?  Maybe we could hit The Rock Pile for a drink and catch up on old times.”

 

“I’d like that Charlie, but Bobby is expecting me back in a little bit.  Maybe we can get together the next time he goes on one of his five or six day trips.”

 

“That would be great.  Here, let me give you my cell number.  Give me a call the next time you are free.”

 

Knowing full well that if I called him he would see me as a sure thing I took the number and told him that I would be in touch.

 

                                        x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

 

It was a week before Bobby got a six day out of town trip and it just happened that Barry had to go out of town on personal business at the same time.  A death in the family that would keep him in Boston for at least two weeks and maybe three if the estate couldn’t be settled quickly.  I waited until the day after Bobby left and then I gave Charlie a call.

 

“Bobby is on a trip and I don’t feel like sitting at home alone.  You still want to buy me a drink?”

 

“You bet.  Just name a time and place.”

 

“The Rock Pile at eight?”

 

“I’ll be there.”

 

And he was.  He must have gotten there real early to make sure he got a booth in the back corner where it was dark.  I hoped it wasn’t too dark for him to appreciate the extent I had gone to to grab his attention.  A low cut blouse with no bra, the shortest skirt that I owned and the high heels that Bobby called my “fuck me” shoes.  Also, I hoped it wasn’t too dark to keep others from seeing us.  That was the point after all – getting the word back to Bobby.

 

I slid onto the seat across from him and he smiled and said, “It is a good thing that I’m not a betting man.”

 

“And why is that?”

 

“I would have bet that you wouldn’t show.”

 

“That would have been a stupid bet anyway.  Maybe if you had called me and I’d agreed to have a drink with you you might have considered that I might have second thoughts what with me being a married woman and all, but I was the one who called you.”

 

“Yes you did and believe me I have wondered about that.”

 

“What?  No faith in your manly charm?  You never seemed to have self doubts when we were in high school.”

 

“I don’t have self doubts now.  I just never figured th…”

 

“That Bobby’s wife would ever give you a second thought.”

 

“That about covers it.”

 

“But it didn’t stop you from taking your shot at the Mercantile.”

 

He looked at me in silence and after a moment I grinned at him and said, “My hair might be blond honey, but believe me when I say that I’m not some dumb bimbo.  I know exactly why you approached me at the Mercantile and asked me to join you for a drink.  It was because I am Bobby’s wife.  You didn’t think you had a realistic shot, but what the hell, nothing ventured nothing gained right?”

 

He grinned at me and I went on, “You have never forgiven Bobby for beating you out as quarterback have you?  You know in your heart that it should have been you to take the team to two perfect seasons.  You have never forgiven him and wouldn’t it be just perfect if you could take his wife like he took your team so you took your shot.  How close am I Charlie?”

 

“Dead on sweetie, but with you knowing that the question now is why are you here?”

 

“Curiosity Charlie.”

 

“Curiosity?”

 

“Yes indeed.  You know bobby’s reputation and how he can get carried away just seeing me talk with another guy.  I have to be curious about a guy who knows that and still asks me out for a drink.”

 

“Maybe it is because I’m not afraid of Bobby.  Maybe it is because I think I can beat his ass if he comes after me.”

 

“So you have no interest in me?  Just want to use me as a way to get back at Bobby?”

 

“Don’t be stupid sweetie.  If you weren’t married I’d be after you in a heartbeat, but you are married and married to Bobby and you nailed it.  It would be sweet to get to Bobby’s wife.  So tell me sweet thing, knowing that you have already figured out my motives why are you really here?”

 

“It is a small town Charlie and you get around so you know what Bobby has been doing.  I didn’t find out until a little while ago, but I know now.  I’ve stayed home and been a good girl since I married Bobby, but once I found out about what he has been doing I pretty much decided that I was going to get even and that was the mood I was in when you said “Hi” to me at the Mercantile.”

 

“So I was in the right place at the right time and you decided that I would do as someone you could use to get even with Bobby?”

 

“Maybe.”

 

“Maybe?  I can’t believe that you are here and telling me all that you just have on a maybe.”

 

“Call this an exploratory meeting Charlie.  When I came here I wasn’t all that sure that you would be interested in what I’m interested in.”

 

“And that would be?”

 

“I want to get even with Bobby, but I’m not interested in taking on a full time boyfriend.  I’m looking for a temporary playmate who knows that it is going to be a short time affair with no emotional involvement.”

 

“So your plan is to get laid and then go tell Bobby and rub his nose in it.”

 

“Oh no.  I’ll never tell Bobby.  There is a divorce in our future and my having had a lover will give him ammunition to use against me.  I want to be able to point to his fucking around on me and not have him be able to come back on me for the same thing.  My playing will be for my mental health.  Just knowing that I gave what he thinks of as his to someone else will make me feel good.”

 

“So if I say that I’m just what you are looking for – some sex with no strings attached – what next?”

 

“Bobby is out of town for the next four days so maybe you might have some idea of how I can fill those days?”

 

“Why are we sitting here and wasting time?  Let’s get the hell out of here and go to my place.”

 

“Hey!  Not so fast buster.  I’m not some sleazy bar pickup.  You have to at least buy me a drink or two and dance a couple of dances with me.”

 

“Playing hard to get huh?”

 

“Of course.  After all I am a married woman and if I am going to stray it will have to be because my seducer has put some effort into it.”

 

“One drink and one dance, okay?”

 

“Deal.”

 

Charlie led me out onto the dance floor and pulled me close and as we moved together he pushed his cock into my leg.  I looked up at him and said:

 

“My goodness.  It feels like all those rumors I heard about you in school might be true.”

 

“They were absolutely true sweetie.”

 

We finished the dance, stopped by the table to grab my purse and then left the Rock Pile.  Charlie told me to follow him to his condo, but I wanted as many people as possible to see me with Charlie so I told him I would ride with him.  As soon as we were in the car I slid over next to him and reached for his zipper.

 

“I can’t wait” I said, “I just have to see it.”

 

He laughed and spread his legs a little to give me better access and I worked my hand inside his pants.  I could not believe what I got a hold of.  It felt huge and it was only starting to harden up.  It was a struggle to get it out in the open and once I got a good look at it I started having doubts about my plan.  I did not think I could get that thing in me without getting hurt.  Charlie must have been reading my mind because he said:

 

“Don’t worry sweetie, you can handle it.  It takes some time to get used to it, but I haven’t found a lady yet who couldn’t accommodate it.”

 

His words did not reassure me.  I stroked him all the way to his condo.  When we got there I was staring at the throbbing dick in my hand and I seriously considered getting out of the car and running back to where I’d left my car.  My only experience was with Bobby and Barry and neither one of them had a cock anywhere near the size of Charlie’s.  Again, as if reading my mind, Charlie said:

 

“Relax sweetie, it is only ten and a half inches.  If Bobby is average I’m only three and a half inches bigger.”

 

Maybe in length I thought, but Charlie’s was so fat.  I was scared, but I had been stroking it for about ten miles and I had gone that far in my plan so I took a deep breath and said:

 

“Let’s do it.”

 

I followed Charlie into his place and he led me into his bedroom.  He started taking off his clothes and I stood there watching him and thinking, “Can I do this?  Can I really do this?”

 

He stood naked in front of me and with his cock completely uncovered it looked even bigger than it had in the car and my doubts as to whether I could take it resurfaced.  I was a fraction of a second from bolting from the room when a faint memory worked its way out of some compartment in my mind.  We were in the girl’s locker room after gym class and Billy Jean was bragging about how she had fucked Charlie senseless on their Saturday night date.  That memory tripped a switch somewhere in my brain and I said to myself:

 

“If that fucking whore could do it so can I.”

 

I reached for the buttons on my blouse and Charlie said, “No sweetie, let me do it.  I like to unwrap my presents.”

 

He unbuttoned my blouse and worked it off me and then looked at my breasts and said:

 

“Nice.  Very, very nice.”

 

He cupped the left one in his hand and bent to lick and suck the nipple on the right.  As he licked and sucked he rolled my left nipple between his thumb and forefinger.  His other hand was busy working on getting my skirt off of me.  I started to kick off my heels, but Charlie stopped me.

 

“Leave them on.  I love the feeling when they rub my ears.”

 

When I was naked except for my heels he led me to the bed and went down on me.  Thanks to Barry I found that I love to have my pussy eaten, but I was worried that since Charlie went down on me he would expect me to return the favor and no way was I ever going to get that thing far enough into my mouth to do him any good and I told him so.  All he said was:

 

“Up to you.  Some can and some can’t.”

 

That pissed me off.  He thinks I’m not woman enough I thought.  Well I’ll just show him!  I vowed that before the evening was over I would get enough of him in my mouth to swallow whatever he could put out.

 

Charlie was an extremely good pussy eater and he did get me off before he got up between my legs for ‘the moment of truth.”   He opened the drawer on the bedside stand and took out a tube of KY Jelly.

 

“This usually helps the first couple of times” he said as he put some on his fingers and worked them into my pussy.  He worked his fingers around in me for a couple of minutes and the put some on his cock.  Even with the KY it took Charlie several minutes to work himself into me.  There wasn’t any pain, but until he was in far enough to start doing some stroking there was a lot of discomfort.  He began moving back and forth and his strokes got longer and longer as I stretched to accommodate him and then he hit a spot in me that had never been touched before and I had the most intense orgasm of my life.

 

Charlie slowed down his strokes until I calmed down a little and then he picked up speed.  I had several small orgasms before he came and when he pulled out all I could do was lay there, stare up at the ceiling and think “Oh My God!”

 

We rested about ten minutes and then Charlie asked me if I was ready to go again.  Again he hit the magic spot (I have since decided that it was my G-spot) and I again went wild.  When Charlie came the second time I moved to my knees and attempted to suck his cock.  I couldn’t do it.  I could not get the head of his cock in my mouth so I licked it and played with his balls for several minutes until he pushed me into the doggie position and fucked me for the third time.

 

I fell asleep exhausted.  In the morning we stopped at the Waffle House for breakfast before going to pick up my car.  While waiting for our order Charlie said:

 

“I hope you might want to do this again sometime.”

 

I looked him right in the eye and said, “Bobby will be gone for at least three more days and with any kind of luck he will have another trip within a week of his getting back.  Should I plan on spending my time alone or might you have an idea or two?”

“Should we meet somewhere so no one sees your car parked at my place?”

 

“No need.  There are plenty of Honda Civics around.  No one will know that the one parked at your place is mine.”

 

Actually I was hoping that everyone who saw it would know that it was mine.  The more people who knew the better the chances that the word would get back to Bobby.

 

I worked with two girls who I had gone to school with and both of them had made it known when we girls got together to talk that they had spent some time on Charlie’s backseat and I wondered if they could tell where I’d been from the way I walked when I got to work.

The next three nights – Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday – found me at Charlie’s condo and on Charlie’s bed.  I had always heard that size doesn’t matter and I quickly found out that was just so much bullshit.  Bigger was definitely better.  I had expected that my fling with Charlie would just be a ho-hum affair with me just putting up with the fucking while waiting for Bobby to find out and go ballistic, but I found that I was enjoying the hell out of being stuffed full.  Yes indeed, bigger was better, but size alone wouldn’t be enough to sustain a relationship at least not for me.  But damn, it sure would be nice if Barry had a cock the size of Charlie’s.

 

I did work at trying to suck Charlie’s monster and I did eventually get to the point where I could get about a third of it in my mouth.  I promised myself that I would take it all before Charlie and I ended our little affair.

 

Friday afternoon I got a call from Bobby at work.  His truck had blown its transmission and it would be at least two or three more days before he could get home and as I hung up I wondered what her name was.  I called Charlie and let him know and he asked:

 

“Does that mean I get you for three more days?”

 

I had reached the point where I wanted as much of that ‘stuffed feeling’ as I could get before Bobby and Charlie got into it and so I told Charlie I was his until Monday and after that we would see.

 

It was one of the most sexually enjoyable weekends I’d ever had.  We sucked and fucked from Friday night until seven Saturday night and then we went out for dinner, drinks and dancing.  Dozens of people who knew Bobby and me saw us and I became more and more confident that my plan for using Charlie as a stalking horse was going to work.

 

After dancing and drinking we went back to Charlie’s condo for more sucking and fucking until we fell asleep worn out.  We slept late and didn’t roll out of bed until four in the afternoon and then we went out to eat.  It was while we were eating that The Fates decided to throw some shit into the game.  Charlie asked:

 

“What are you going to do once you divorce Bobby?”

 

“I haven’t much thought about it, why?”

 

“I’d like to apply to fill the vacancy.”

 

That caught me flat footed and I was too stunned to say anything.”

 

“Hey sweetie, we are a very good fit together and I would very much like to be more to you than just a fuck buddy.”

 

I loved Charlie’s cock, but I loved Barry as a total person so no way was I going to give up Barry, but I also did want Charlie’s cock for as long as I could get it so I couldn’t tell him “Sorry Charlie” because he might walk away.  I did what I hoped would mollify him and said:

 

“It is a thought Charlie and I’m not going to say that I won’t consider it, but I’m not at all sure that I want to go from one long term relationship right into another.  Besides, other than sex we don’t know each other all that well.  Other than in the bedroom we might not be too compatible.  Let’s just wait and see.”

 

“But you won’t rule it out and you will think about it?”

 

“Yes I will Charlie.”

 

Later that evening on his bed he said, “While you are thinking about me being permanent in your life think about how nice this is” as he slid his cock into me.  No fear there Charlie I thought, this is better than nice.

I couldn’t spend the night with Charlie because I was expecting Bobby to be home.  As I drove home I found myself thinking about the situation and how things had turned out.  I had always considered Charlie an obnoxious, loud mouthed asshole and everything I’d heard about him had led me to believe that all he cared about was how many women he could bed – how many notches he could carve into his bed post – and it was because of that idea I’d had of him that I’d chosen him as my stalking horse.

 

When I picked him I didn’t care one bit about what would happen to him when Bobby went after him, but after just six days as Charlie’s bed buddy things had changed.  Charlie turned out to be nothing like I expected.  He was a considerate lover who always did his best to see that I got plenty of pleasure out of our mating.  He was not the “wam-bam, thank you ma’am” guy that I thought he was.  I would never love Charlie (but I do admit that I loved his cock) but I found that I did like him.  I liked him a lot and I was beginning to feel bad about what I had set him up for.

 

I talked with Barry almost every day.  He would call me at work and one day he asked me if I had given any more thought to letting him give me the money to pay for the divorce and I told him that I had.  He asked me what I had decided and I was so sure that my plan for getting Bobby out of the way was going to work that I told him I would let him loan me the money, but I wouldn’t let him pay for the divorce.  Two days later a Fed-Ex driver came into the office and asked for me.  He handed me an envelope and when I opened it I found a cashier’s check for five thousand dollars and a note from Barry listing three attorneys who did family law which I guess was a nice way to say divorce lawyer.  On my way over to Charlie’s I stopped at a bank and used the check to open an account.  I’d wait to make an appointment with a lawyer until Bobby was in jail.

Bobby wasn’t home when I left for work in the morning, but he was there when I got home that night.  He wasn’t all hot and ready to drag me into the bedroom and that told me all I needed to know about his so-called “breakdown.”  He was home for a week before getting another trip.  It was a six day run to Tampa.

 

During that week I met Charlie twice for long – very long – lunch hours.  Bobby, knowing that he would be gone for six days, (unless he had another breakdown) wanted to make love on both Saturday and Sunday.  It was making love as far as he was concerned, but to me it was just having sex.  As soon as Bobby was out the door I called Charlie and told him that I was free for the next five days.  He asked me to come right over and I told him that I couldn’t since I’d just had sex with Bobby.

 

“I don’t care sweetie; I’ll take you any way I can get you and if that means I have to take sloppy seconds, so be it.”

 

I told him I would be right over and I went to him with Bobby still seeping out of me.  The crotch of my panties was soaking wet when Charlie pulled them off of me, but Charlie never said a word; he just slid that marvelous cock into me.  As I pushed up to meet his thrusts I resolved to get as much of his cock as I could over the next week because when Barry got back I wouldn’t be able to see Charlie any more.  I hoped by then that Bobby would have found out what was going on.  If he hadn’t by the time Barry got back I would have to do it the hard way.  I’d just have to tell Bobby that I didn’t want any more to do with him because I was hooked on Charlie’s big cock and go from there.

 

It was a Friday and Bobby was supposed to be home from his trip by sometime on Saturday.  I’d talked to Barry earlier in the day and he told me that he would be back Sunday afternoon.   I’d had Charlie over to my place a half dozen times that week.  He seemed to get a big kick out of fucking Bobby’s wife in Bobby’s place and on Bobby’s bed.  I didn’t tell Charlie that Bobby was due home on Saturday when I took him home with me Friday night.  It was mean of me, but I was hoping that Bobby would walk in on us.  It would speed things up.

 

Figuring that it would be my last time with Charlie I decided that I would like to make it special for him.  Charlie had always wanted my ass but I would never let him do me there.  I was afraid that his size might hurt bad and pain was something that I was not into.  But I felt that I owed Charlie for what I was about to put him through so when we got to my place I said:

 

“How would you like to have my ass on Bobby’s bed?”

 

Charlie’s face lit up like the face of a kid who had just come into the room and saw the Christmas tree with all the presents under it. 

 

“Do you mean it?”

 

“I do, but you will have to go real slow.  That big thing of yours is going to hurt.”

 

We started out slow.  I sucked his cock and he ate my pussy and then he fucked me in the missionary position and as I lay there with my legs up on his shoulders while his big cock moved in me I knew I was going to miss it.  But as much as I loved being fucked by Charlie’s huge cock I loved Barry more.  Even with Bobby in jail I would still see Charlie around and I knew that every time I saw him I would think fondly of our time together and I hoped he would have fond memories of me.  But he probably wouldn’t.  Especially when he saw me with Barry.

 

After making love in the missionary position and cumming three times I figured I was mellow and loose enough to give Charlie his gift.

 

Charlie took his time and used plenty of KY, but it still hurt like hell and I bit down on a mouthful of pillow to keep from screaming, but strangely enough after about ten minutes the pain turned to pleasure and I found myself pushing my ass back at Charlie as he pushed into me.  When he came he got out of bed and washed his cock and then I worked on it to get him hard again and he did me in the missionary position.

 

I feel asleep exhausted with Charlie spooned up against me.

 We had a ‘wake up’ and then I fixed us breakfast.  The apartment complex had a pool and we spent a good part of the morning there and then I dragged Charlie back to my apartment and my bed.  Anal was much easier after Charlie’s having loosened me up the night before.  Our love making was fierce, at least on my part, because I was so looking forward to Bobby walking in on us, but he didn’t. 

 

We had some lunch and spent a little more time lying around the pool and then I hauled Charlie back into the bedroom.  I fucked Charlie with one eye on the door just waiting to see the look on Bobby’s face when he saw us, but by six in the evening he still hadn’t come home.

 

Charlie took me out to dinner and I figured I was just going to have to settle for Bobby seeing Charlie bringing me home.  Maybe if I was lucky Bobby would be looking out the window when we pulled into the parking lot and I could have my face in Charlie’s lap giving him a blow job.  Charlie took me to Montoni’s for dinner and then we went to The Pit for a few drinks and some dancing.  While we were dancing Charlie said:

 

“You know what I would really like to do tonight?”

 

“No, what?”

 

“Something I wanted to do when we were in school, but never had a chance to do.”

 

“And that would be?”

 

“Take you out to Steven’s Point and do you on my back seat.”

 

“I don’t know lover.  We have been at it all day.  Can you still get it up?”

 

“I’ll bet you can get it up by the time we get there.  You do have a magic mouth.”

 

“Aren’t you the silver tongued devil.  I’ll bet you say that to all the girls.”

 

“Not really.  Half the girls I played with couldn’t get me in their mouth and the other half wouldn’t even try.”

 

“I guess that puts me in the top one percent.”

 

“Yes it does sweetie and I hope that you are giving some thought to being my permanent one percenter.”

 

“I think I’d like to give you your wish, but if you aren’t hard by the time we get to Steven’s Point I’m going to be pissed.”

 

“Come on sweetie, have I ever let you down?”

 

As soon as we were in the car I slid over next to Charlie and worked his cock out of his pants and I had my head in his lap before we were even out of the parking lot.

 

The road to Steven’s Point was uphill and there was a drop off of about twenty feet on the right.  Charlie kept trying to push my head away from his cock.

 

“I need to concentrate on my driving sweetie.  You don’t want me to lose my concentration and drive off the road do you?  That’s a hell of a drop.”

 

I just giggled and continued to lick and suck on his cock.  I had him hard and I was going to keep him hard.  This was going to be our last time and I wanted it to be good.  I had never been able to deep throat Charlie.  I could never get more than a third of him in my mouth, but I kept trying.  I had my mouth pushed way down on him and was trying to get another inch when he said:

 

“What the fuck!”

 

The tone of his voice brought me up off of his cock and I asked “What?”

 

“Some asshole is tailgating me with his brights on.”

 

He tapped his brakes, but whoever was behind us didn’t back off.  Charlie pushed down on the accelerator and pulled away from the car behind us, but whoever was behind us increased his speed too and soon was right on our bumper again.  Charlie stuck his hand up and gave whoever was behind us the finger and then stomped on his brakes.  The car behind us didn’t slow down.  He ran into the back of us and Charlie said:

 

“The son of a bitch is trying to push us off the road.”

 

The lights swung out from behind us and the car moved along side of us and then cut right to ram into us.  I glanced past Charlie and saw the face of the driver.  The last thing I saw before the car pushed us through the guard rail and off the road was the look of absolute rage on Barry’s face.
