“Damn it Tim, you had better stop ignoring me on this.  I’m getting damned sick and tired of putting up with it.”

The ‘it’ she was tired of putting up with was actually a ‘them.’  Hal and Charlie were my two best buds.  We had come together in the third grade and had been pals ever since.  We had drifted apart after high school.  Hal joined the Air Force, Charlie had joined the Navy and I had joined the XYZ Corporation.  My first choice had been the Marines, but I found out that they had no use for a guy who had blown out his right knee playing football. 

I did all right at XYZ and in four years I had worked my way up to loading dock foreman before meeting and marrying the daughter of the VP of Sales.  Shortly after that I became warehouse manager and don’t think that I didn’t catch a constant ration of shit over that.  The fact that I worked my way into the job was lost in the shuffle, and the skinny was that I had “married my way up.”

About a year after the marriage I ran into Charlie at Wal-Mart.  We headed for the nearest bar and proceeded to get blitzed as we caught up on what had happened over the years.  A few weeks latter invited him over for dinner and he met my wife Heidi.  After the evening was over and Charlie had gone Heidi said, “I really didn’t care for him.  He’s too pushy, too sure of himself and I didn’t like the way he looked at my tits.”

“Honey, everybody looks at your tits like that.  It is the price you pay for having the greatest looking 38DDs in the world.”

Still, the bottom line was that Heidi didn’t care for Charlie so I rarely had him over to the house.

++++++++++++

Another six months slid by with me and Charlie getting together once or twice a week at Rosie’s Bar to drink a few brews and shoot some pool.  One afternoon he called me at work and told me to be sure to make it to Rosie’s that evening after work.  When I got there I headed for the booth we normally sat in and he stood up and said “Look at what I found,” and there was Hal.  It was a long night as we sat, drank and played catch up.  Hal had come home from the Air Force, gotten married and was working as the service manager at the local Ford dealer which is where Charlie found him when he took his F-150 in for service.  Before the evening was over I had invited Hal and Charlie to a meat burning at my house on Saturday.

Heidi was luke warm to the idea and I couldn’t understand why.  She didn’t even know Hal and I rarely subjected her to Charlie.  Charlie brought his current girlfriend, a brassy redheaded sexpot who managed to set Heidi’s teeth on edge.  Hal’s wife Mary was a good looking lady who was very pleasant company so I was just a little surprised when the day was over to hear Heidi say that she didn’t care for Hal or his wife.  I had humored her when she said she didn’t care for Charlie, but I wasn’t going to do it again.

“Well try and disguise your dislike because Hal is one of my oldest friends and I expect that we will be seeing a lot of him and his wife.”

“Honestly Tim, what can you possibly see in those people?”

“What do you see in Steph?”

“Steph is my best friend Tim, you know that.  We go all the way back to grade school.”

“My point exactly Heidi.  Hal, Charlie and I go all the way back to the third grade.”

“Yes, but it is different.  You like Steph, but I don’t care for either Hal or Charlie.”

“How do you know that Heidi?  Maybe I can’t stand Steph, but I put up with her for your sake.  Think about that why don’t you.”

I got to work cleaning up the backyard from the party and Heidi stormed into the house.  The remark about Stephanie didn’t set well with her and she was cool toward me for the next couple of days, which was too bed because I really did like Steph, but I had my back up over Heidi’s attitude toward my friends.

+++++++++++++

Over the next two years Hal and his wife and Charlie and his constantly changing girl friends were over to our house for dinner, barbecues and the like and every time Heidi was civil and when the event was over she would let me know just how unhappy she was.  I probably didn’t help matters any by simply ignoring her and not responding to her comments and that may have been a good part of the reason that things seemed to be going stale in our marriage.  Sex went from almost daily to four times a week and then twice a week and sometimes even twice in two weeks.  We were ‘snappy’ with each other and bad arguments started over trivial little things.

One day, after we’d had Steph and her current boyfriend over for dinner, she called me at work and asked me to meet her for lunch.  As soon as the waitress had taken our order Steph cut right to the chase.

“What’s wrong between you and Heidi?”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Yes you do Tim, it was as plain as the nose on your face that you and Heidi are in trouble.  What’s going on?”

“I don’t know Steph, I don’t honestly know unless it is the thing about Hal and Charlie.”

“And that is?”

I explained the situation and Steph just looked at me and shook her head.  I finished with, “And I just can’t see that as being the problem.”

“You and Heidi have been married, what, coming up on five years now?”

I nodded a yes.

“Five years and you don’t know her any better than that?”

“Better than what?”

“Are you going to tell me that you don’t know that Heidi is a snob?”

I must have looked confused because she went on, “That’s right Tim, a snob.  Heidi doesn’t dislike Hal or Charlie because of the way they are, it is because of who they are.  You are in management at XYZ and you are supposed to be hobnobbing with the vice presidents and the other managers and not car mechanics and truck drivers.”

“That doesn’t make sense Steph.  If she felt that way she never would have married a guy off the loading dock.”

“Of course she would have dummy.  She loves you and that love painted over the loading dock.  It painted you as her Prince on a white horse, her knight in shining armor, or whatever, but there isn’t anything painting over Hal and Charlie and as far as she is concerned they are beneath you and you are forcing her to associate with them.”

“So what do I do?”

“I don’t have a clue baby, not a clue.”

+++++++++++

Given how well Stephanie knew Heidi I didn’t doubt her assessment one bit, but it changed nothing as far as Hal and Charlie were concerned.  In fact, things got worse.  Because my relationship with Heidi was so bad I began spending more and more time with Hal and Charlie and on any given Saturday or Sunday you could find the three of us in my garage working on our cars and trucks.  This ground on Heidi, but I was past caring about what she thought about my friends.

She changed her tactics.  She began to complain about them and what they did.  They were always staring at her chest.  They were making lewd comments and remarks to her when I wasn’t close enough to hear.  They copped feels off of her and pretended that they were accidents.  “While you were in the bathroom Charlie asked me when I was going to break down and give him a taste and Hal just smirked at me and licked his lips.  Some friends you have!”

It went on like that for six months and then one day I got the ultimatum.  “Damn it Tim, you had better stop ignoring me on this.”

I’d had enough so I dumped on her.  “Heidi, I don’t believe a fucking word you are saying or have said about Hal and Charlie.  You haven’t liked them since the day you met them.  You don’t want me around them and you’ll pull any bullshit you think you can get away with to try and get me to dump them.  Give it up Heidi, because I’m not fucking buying it!”

“Oh?  I’m lying am I?  We will just see about that mister.  They will be here today to work on their cars, drink your beer and fuck your wife so why don’t you just drive your car around the block, park it and come back.  Then go upstairs and sit behind the wall and listen to what happens when I tell them you were called away.”

“Give it a rest Heidi.”

“Oh no you don’t.  You called me a liar so now you get to find out the truth about your so-called buddies.  If nothing else you have to let me prove to you that I’m not lying.”

She had me there.  “Okay, but when this is over I don’t want to hear another bad word about either of them from you.”

“I don’t believe this.  You are still calling me a liar even though I’m staking myself out as bait to prove to you that I’m not.”

“Whatever.”

+++++++++++++

So that was how I came to be sitting on the floor just behind the wall at the head of the stairs and feeling slightly stupid about it.  Charlie, Hal and I were tight and I knew that there wasn’t any way that they would be going behind my back with my wife.  Off color remarks?  Sure, I could see how Heidi might take that, but all the guys I’ve ever known have flirted like that with girls, even married ones.  But I had told my wife that I didn’t believe her so I owed it to her to at least sit there and listen while she tried to make her case.

The doorbell rang and Heidi went to the door:

“Oh, it’s you guys.”

“Damn it Hal, it doesn’t seem like she is happy to see us.”

“Tim isn’t here” Heidi said, “He had to go over to his mothers.”

“How long is he going to be gone?”

“Most of the afternoon so there isn’t much sense in you guys sticking around.”

“Get serious girl.  You tell us that we have all afternoon that we can spend with the best piece of ass in the state and you say there is no sense in sticking around?  Where do you want it sweet cheeks, on the couch or in the bedroom?”

When I heard that I stood up and peeked around the corner and down into the living room.  I got there just in time to see Hal come up behind her and cup both of her tits in his hands.  I saw Heidi press her ass back against Hal as she said, “Don’t you guys ever give up?”

Charlie stepped forward and ran his hands down inside her shorts and Heidi spread her legs to let him get a finger or two in her cunt

“You know we don’t sweetie.”

“Doesn’t it bother you guys at all that I’m your best friends wife?”

“Pussy is pussy sweet cheeks.”

“Oh well, to hell with it.  If you don’t mind taking his wife it might as well be on his bed.”

She pulled away from them and headed for the stairs.  I’d seen enough and I was ready to break some heads, but suddenly a few things registered and I decided I wanted to see where Heidi was going with things.  I hurried to the bedroom and got in the closet.  I left the door open a crack so I could see out.  The three of them came into the room and Heidi went straight to the bed, undressed and threw herself down on top of the covers.  She spread her legs wide and said, “Okay, if you are going to fuck your best friends wife, let’s get to it.”

“Right on” Hal cried as he dropped his pants and then crawled up on the bed and moved between her legs.  He sank his cock in her and she moaned and her legs came around him.  Charlie climbed on the bed next to her head and pointed his cock at Heidi’s mouth and she opened it and took his cock in.  She didn’t fight off either one of them.  I’d seen all I needed to see, but a little something in the back of my mind was telling me to stay cool, that there was more to come.

Charlie was quicker on the trigger than Hal and he announced that he was cumming and I watched while Heidi gulped and swallowed all he spit out.  Then Hal shot his wad, pulled out of Heidi’s cunt and crawled up to her head and had her clean off his cock.  He laid down on his back and Heidi and Heidi got up on her knees, bent her head down and swallowed his dick and went to work at getting him up again. 

Charlie’s cock was starting to rise again and he moved behind Heidi and slid his cock into her and she moaned around Hal’s cock in her mouth and pushed her ass back at him.  Charlie stroked his cock into her half a dozen times and then he pulled it out and lined it up with her asshole.  He gave a couple of pushes, but his half hard cock wouldn’t go in so he got off the bed, walked to the dresser and got the KY Liquid out of the top drawer.  He greased himself up, put some on his fingers and worked them into Heidi’s asshole and then he went back to poking at her hole with his cock.  His cock had been getting stiffer by the second and he finally popped past her sphincter, grabbed her hips and started banging away.

I just stood there in the closet watching them hang themselves as they each fucked Heidi twice more.  Finally Charlie said that they had better get going before I got home.  Hal said, “Shit!  We should have come by earlier; I still want more.”

“Okay, you just stay here and fuck your fool head off” said Charlie, “but don’t be surprised if Tim comes in, catches you and decides to kill you.”

Heidi just lay on the bed propped up on one elbow and watched as they dressed and left.

I came out of the closet and Heidi looked at me and said, “Still think that they are your friends?”

“No Heidi, I think you proved your point; they are most definitely not my friends.”

“Why did you let them do me?  Why didn’t you stop it?”

“Why did I let them?  I didn’t see you doing a damned thing to try and stop it.”

“Of course I didn’t.  This was all about showing you what they were.  You were supposed to come downstairs and break things up.  But not you, oh no, can’t believe bad of your buddies, just let them go ahead and fuck your wife and don’t do a damned thing about it.”

“No need to worry about that Heidi, I plan on doing a lot about it and some of it will be done before this day is over.”

“What are you going to do?”

“First, I’m going to throw your worthless ass and all your belongings out onto the street.    I’ll wait until I cool down a bit before I go after him and Hal.  You aren’t worth going to jail over if I get too carried away and kill some one.”

“Why are you taking that tone with me?  This is all your goddamned fault!  You could have stopped it at any time.”

“Bullshit Heidi, I couldn’t have stopped it because I wasn’t here when it started.”

“What do you mean?  You were at the head of the stairs when they came in.”

“That’s one of the most disappointing things about this whole sorry mess Heidi, the fact that you think I’m so fucking stupid.  Today wasn’t the first time you spread for those two and it sure wasn’t the first time that they fucked you on our bed.  I don’t have any idea of what your twisted plan for today was, but are either stupid, very careless and you didn’t plan for shit.  Your whole plan, whatever it was went into the toilet as soon as Hal and Charlie got here.”

“You’re wrong.”

“No I’m not Heidi.  First there was Charlie’s “best piece of ass in the state.”  It was said not in a tone that was guessing or wondering, but in the tone of someone who knew what he was talking about.  Next was the way you pushed your ass back at Hal when he cupped your tits while standing behind you.  When Charlie ran his hands down into your shorts you spread your legs to give him easy access to your fucking cunt.”

I saw the look that came over her face.  “What?  You thought I would only listen and not want to see what was going on?  You didn’t fight a fucking bit from the time they got here until they left.  And what about when they had you on the bed.  You let both of them cum in your mouth and you swallowed it all and then licked their cocks clean.  Did you ever do that for me?  Hell no! I always had to pull out so you could finish me by hand into a wash rag.  How about both of them fucking you in your ass?  You never let me do that, oh no, that was something that was just too disgusting, but I watched you push your ass back at both of them when they did you. 

“But you want to know what drove the final nail in your coffin?  It was when Charlie was getting ready to cornhole you for the first time and he couldn’t get his dick in you.  He got off the bed and walked straight over to the dresser and got out the KY.  How did he know where it was Heidi?  I’ll tell you.  He knew because it was not the first time he was here or the first time he used it.  He’d been here before Heidi.  It was plain as day.  He had been here before and he had fucked you in the ass before.  I’m guessing that it was around the time that you cut our sex life down to damn near nothing.  It pissed me off then, but I’m glad of it now.  Since I haven’t been getting any I’m not going to miss you when you are gone which, by the way, is going to be within the next two hours.  Get your ass off the bed and start packing your shit.”

“Damn it Tim, you aren’t being fair.  I only did it to prove to you that they weren't your friends.”

“You did that Heidi, but you also proved to me that you are a worthless fucking whore.  Now start moving or I’ll toss you out naked.”

++++++++++++

They story didn’t end there.  I called Charlie to tell him to come and get Heidi, but he never answered his phone and Heidi ended up calling her dad to come and get her.  I spent the weekend trying to get myself under control and Monday I went looking for Charlie and verbally lit into him prior to kicking his ass to the state line.  He put his hands up and said:

“Whoa up there bud.  All I did was what you wanted me to.”

“What I wanted?  What the fuck are you talking about?”

It seems that Heidi had gone to him and told him that my biggest fantasy was to see her making love with another man.  She told him that she had refused, that there was no way she was going to go out and pick up a stranger and have sex with him.  She told him that I had kept after her until she finally agreed, but only if it was with someone she could be sure was safe and who wouldn’t blab about it all over town.  Then she told him that I had suggested that she do it with either him or Hal.  She said that I told her to seduce him, bring him home and screw him while I watched from the closet, but that I didn’t want him to know that I knew what was going on because it might make me seem like less of a man to him.  But the problem was that he was such a tight friend of mine that she knew she wouldn’t be able to seduce him, that there just wasn’t any way that he would go behind my back and fuck my wife.

“So she asked me to go along with it and pretend that I didn’t know you were in the closet and watching and that I should never, ever let you know that I knew.  I was going to say no to a sexpot like Heidi when I had your blessings?  No fucking way.  And now you are telling me that you never knew?”

“Never had a fucking clue.  How did Hal get in on it?”

“Same way basically.  She said you were getting kind of jaded just watching the two of us and that you wanted her to try a threesome.  So we approached Hal and he said hell yes.”

“How long was it you and Heidi?”

“About three months.”

“You and Hal?

“Five, maybe six months.”

“So she’s been doing it for nine months and I didn’t have a clue one.  Shit!   Nothing like the feeling of knowing you are stupid.”

“You ain’t alone bud, she conned me and Hal too.  The big question is what is this going to do to us?”

“Remember back in high school when you and I and Hal gangbanged Sally Hastings after that football game?  That’s all this is, just another skank that we all fucked and then walked away from.”

+++++++++++++

Then I went to see Hal and over beers at Rosie’s I got the same basic story, but by then I had more questions to ask.

“How did you get her to swallow when she sucked you off?”

“I saw her make Charlie pull out dump in to a wash rag and so when it was my turn I just grabbed her head and held it until I was limp.  Charlie saw me do it and he did it the next time and after that no more wash rags.”

“How about the anal sex?  She would never let me.”

“I just took it.  She yelled and screamed and protested and I expected you to come storming out of the closet and when you didn’t I just drove it home.  I guess she ended up liking it because we never had another get together that she didn’t ask for it.”

+++++++++++

Tuesday at work Heidi’s father came storming up to me all red in the face and began calling me all kinds of mother fuckers, cock suckers and assholes for tossing his daughter out on the street.

“She tell you why?”

“It doesn’t matter why you fucking asshole, she’s your wife and you don’t treat your wife like that.”

He was Heidi’s dad and as such he had a right to be upset and if he had come up to me quietly it would have been one thing, but since he was yelling and screaming at me at the top of his voice and calling me names that every one around us could hear I decided not to take it quietly.

“Well it mattered to me.  I do not take kindly to a woman who is supposed to be my loving wife fucking two, not one, but two men in my bedroom on my bed.  I get especially pissed when that wife, who is fucking two men in my bedroom and on my bed hasn’t given me any sex in months.  Your daughter is a fucking whore and I will not live with a fucking whore, got that?”

His face got pale and he turned and stalked off.  Luckily my department didn’t fall under him, but I could tell that our work relationship was going to suck from then on.

++++++++

The one thing I could never really understand was what Heidi thought she was doing on the day everything went to hell.  She’d been fucking Charlie and Hal for months and doing a good job of hiding it from me, so why did she set things up so that she in effect outted herself?  What the fuck was with the “You better stop them from hitting on me” when she had been fucking them all along?  It just did not make any sense.

I got the answers to those questions two weeks later.  Stephanie called me and asked me to meet her for a drink after work.  While the waitress was getting our drinks Steph asked:

“Any chance that things will blow over and the two of you will get back together?”

“Not a prayer.”

“Why so definite?  You do know that she loves you, don’t you?”

“No, I don’t, and even if she does it wouldn’t matter.  What she did is something that I’ll never accept.  I won’t forgive and I damned sure will never forget.  She burned all her bridges.  Why?  Did she send you to sound me out?”

“No.  She won’t talk to me about what happened.  I’m just assuming that it has to do with her affair with Hal and Charlie.”

“You knew about them?”

“Of course.  Right up until the blowup she told me everything.”

“So the last time we met you already knew what our problem was.  I thought you were my friend Steph.”

“I am Tim, but I’m a hell of a lot closer to Heidi and she has been my best friend for as long as I can remember.”

“Well then, if she told you everything maybe you can tell me why.”

“I don’t suppose it matters now, especially since you say its over between you, but I want your promise that what I tell you stays between us.  I don’t want you going to her and beating her over the head with it.”

“No problem Steph, if I never see her again it will be too soon.”

“I’ve never understood what went on in her mind, but she really disliked Hal and Charlie.  If I had to guess I would say it was that she saw them as competing with her for your time.  When she couldn’t get you to drop them, or at least cut back on the amount of time you spent with them, she decided that what she had to do was break you up.  The plan was to seduce one of them and then holler rape.  She picked Charlie because he was single and she thought she could get to him easier than she could get to Hal.”

“She was actually going to get one of them to screw her and then scream rape?”

“For what it is worth Tim, I did try and talk her out of it.  I told her that no good could come of it, but she wouldn’t listen.  She went to Charlie and told him that you had some fantasies and she wanted his help in acting them out.  He went along with her story, but then the wheels came off of her plan.  She liked it.  She still didn’t like him, but she told me that just the thought of illicit sex with another man gave her one of the biggest orgasms of her life and that actually doing it gave her so many that it left her too weak to walk. 

“Her affair with Charlie took on a life of its own.  He would do anything that Heidi wanted because he thought that is what you wanted and the more they did the more Heidi got turned on.  There was a side effect though – guilt – lots and lots of guilt.  She couldn’t bring herself to stop what she was doing, but at the same time the guilt drove her to where she couldn’t face you and that’s when your sex life went to hell.  Next she added Hal to the mix.  Her original thought was that the two of them would get into a tug of war over her and that would give her a chance to break away, go home and get to work at saving her marriage.  It didn’t work.  It just gave her bigger and better orgasms. 

“The end came when the guilt got so bad that she just had to do something before she lost you.  By then she wasn’t thinking too clearly as evidenced by the plan she came up with.  She convinced herself that you would get turned on seeing her with another man and want to join in.  I swear to God Tim, I tried to talk her out of it.  I knew what kind of man you were and that there was no way you would go for something like that.  I told her it would blow up in her face and I tried my best to stop her, but you saw how successful I was in doing that.”

“I was supposed to come out of the closet and join in?”

“That’s what she thought would happen.”

“How could she have been so stupid?  She had to know me better than that.”

“I don’t know what to say Tim, I guess she was desperate to find a way back to you.”

“To find her way back to me?”

“I told you Tim, she loves you and it is killing her that you are gone.”

“So, you haven’t said, what’s the reason for our getting together tonight?”

“Just that Tim.  I wanted to see if maybe I could give you a little push to move you back toward her.”

“I laughed and said, “There is a better chance of you and I becoming engaged than there is of my ever getting back with Heidi.”

Stephanie looked at me pensively for a few moments and then said, “You and me?  Tell you what, give it a couple of months for the dust to settle and see what happens.  You have my number” and she got up and walked away leaving me sitting there stunned.
