I was laid up with a sprained ankle, the result of my love of rock climbing. I had spent the entire day inside and by the time Laura got home from work the place had become dark and dismal. Normally Laura would have been home during the day. She had just started a new job that week. Laura did not need to work since mine paid well enough but she wanted to more or less have something to do. We had moved here only nine months previously and it was hard to make friends. We lived in a condo rather than a neighborhood like we had before moving. I guess there is nothing like a neighborhood where people got to know people who lived near them. In our present condo setting it was next to impossible to get to know the neighbors. Laura was lovely as she walked in the house. I was amazed each day at her beauty and bubbling personality. She told me all about her first week at work and it seemed that my wife had just won everyone over with her friendly and genuine smile. She was about an hour late that day. " We all went to Barney's for drinks before going home, I wanted to hurry home but they just insisted that I stop off too." I knew the club they went to. It was a well known watering hole in town. I had been there for liquid lunches with a client several times. " I told them that I needed to get home because you were hurt, But they said that you were a big boy and could get by for a little longer. " I hugged her to me and we kissed. I felt like telling her not to fix anything to eat and that I had rather make love. "You know that we need the food for our strength," she said pushing away and heading for the kitchen. Later that night I was glad for the energy as we totally wrecked the bed covers. It was like we were still newlyweds instead of being old marrieds at three years. We lay in each other's arms and I mentioned that perhaps it would be a good time to start that family that we both wanted. I had talked to Jerry, my boss, earlier and was given the promotion news. "Now we can afford that little addition," I told her. "What about my job,I know that I just started but they have made it clear that I am definitely an asset." Laura was so sincere in what she said that I had to admit that she also need the boost in confidence. "Well honey, I guess we can put the family off for a year but after then I think that I want my wife back." I got ok from the ankle and was able to go back to work. The weeks went by as I got used to my new position. At five every day I put the job away and hurried home to be with my wife. Jerry had told me that he felt that a job was just a means to an end and not the end as some high power companies tried be to the detriment of their employees home life. "I have found that people stay with me and are better workers when we consider that they have a family life to live." Jerry had once told me. I pulled into the driveway. My commute was about a half of an hour longer than Laura's and her car would be in the garage by the time I got there. It was empty again for the third time this week. I started dinner for us and had it almost ready by the time she got home an hour later. "Oh honey, " she said apologizing for not calling me, " I stopped off with Gladys, her department head, and a couple of the guys from advertising, we had a quick meal while we discussed a project we have to finish," I had lost my appetite but decided to eat while Laura had some coffee with me. The telephone rang and Laura had to leave the table to talk to Gladys. My food got cold and I just packaged it up and put it away. Laura finished her call almost a half an hour later. By then I had went to the living room and started to watch a show on the TV. She saw that she had missed the beginning of the show and told me that she might as well call Gladys back In the meantime at work I was able to get a very important contract. It was worth millions over the next few years. That contract placed our small company in the financial news and put us even with some of the big boys. Jerry's ideas of how to run a company was paying off. He wanted us all to have a celebration drink after work but said that we should take off that extra hour for it. We went to Barneys for our drinks and I looked around to see if Laura was there. As the clock struck five Jerry said that we all should head home. " I never want to cut into your family time." I hurried home expecting to see Laura's car in the driveway but it wasn't. She had gotten off work at four thirty and had plenty of time to be there. I worried that she might have had an accident or something but it was probably another case of her work taking up our time together. She got home at seven thirty. "Honey...please please forgive me," she started with what was getting to be a regular thing with her, " But we had a schedule to meet so we all went to Barney's about four and had something to eat there. I thought," Did my wife just lie to me?" I mentioned that I was at Barneys at four and there till five and that I had not seen her or her co workers there. She immediately got a funny look on her face. "Oh did I say Barneys," she corrected, "I meant Carstairs down the street...I guess we go to Barneys so much I got confused." It really didn't matter where she was at since she had already eaten. I was out of luck about having a dinner companion again and decided to drive to Mc Donald for a quick meal. When I left she was on the phone again and didn't miss me when I left. Of course I was pissed and didn't say anything when I left. When I got back an hour later she was still on the phone and had not even noticed my absence. I took a ride and drove back down town. I had a good friend that was a bartender at Carstairs. I went in and had a drink. Tommy was glad to see me "Hey Jim," he greeted me warmly, "You don't get by too much this time of evening." I had lunch several times there. I told Tommy that the restaurant had the pleasure of Laura's company that evening. He looked at me "You mean that pretty little brunette that you came in with a few times earlier. I told him that she had come by there with some people from her work around four and had some dinner and stayed till after six thirty. Tommy looked at me funny then. "Couldn't have been here mate...Our kitchen had a fire around three and it was closed till just a few minutes ago. I took a sip of my drink then to try and cover up the knot that had just made an appearance in my gut. All the way home I wondered what was going on. What had Laura been up to all these times. How many times had she lied to me before. I was a pretty easy going guy and I trusted laura. Was she betraying that trust. The next day I went and had a talk with Jerry. He listened, concerned. I was his top contract manager and he was observant to anything that would interfere with my work. " Jim," he said thoughtfully, "The main reason that I feel that this company is so successful is because my dad thought that happier employees were good productive employees." He went on to say that perhaps I should take off early and find out what was going on at Laura's job. "To be honest," he said, "I have heard that they aren't quite as solvent as they pretend to be." I felt like a fool waiting around Laura's work for her to exit the building when she got off work. I was all set to say that I had taken off early so we could have dinner down town since it was a Friday. By five she still hadn't come out and I was ready to go in the building when I spotted her. She wasn't alone. She was with a man a little older than us. I did a double take because they were arm in arm and talking animatedly with each other. I followed. If she had just been with a bunch of female co-workers I would have simply went to her and taken her away with me. The man with her made me want to follow and see where they were going. It wasn't hard to do. They looked just like a couple that belonged with each other. I noticed a couple of people smiled at them. They seemed like a Very happy couple. For just a minute there I had the feeling that I was a stalking them. As if they were the married couple and that I was the outsider. I took a hold of these thoughts and fought them away. Across the broad avenue there stood the Ransom Hotel. The most modern structure of the entire city. I had been there months ago for a business meeting in one of their many conference rooms. Laura and the man were headed toward the hotel. My heart sank. Was this a simple case of infidelity on my wife's part. The blood rushed to my head as the thought came to me. It was the first time since Laura had started the job that I even considered such a thing. The thought was like a dark cloud on my soul. Here was the woman that I loved above all and it looked like she was cheating on me. I was right behind them as they entered the hotel arcade. I think I could have walked right beside them and I would not have been noticed. They seemed so wrapped up in each other. They proceeded into the cocktail lounge. "So my wife is having a drink with another man," I thought. The large lounge was divided in the middle by an opposing row of booths divided by a four foot wall. The side with the long ornate bar was the only side open at that hour. The man steered my wife to one of the booths and I carefully and un-noticed slipped around and into a booth just opposite them. No one saw me. "I was here with my husband..., "Laura started to say, but was silenced by her escort. "Now don't start talking about your husband," he said, "I think that your husband is the main problem have." "What do you mean?" Laura said a little defensive, "I don't think Jim's a problem at all." Good for her. "No...I'm sorry," he corrected, "What I mean is that you never seem to have any fun and I think he is the one that is doing it." "No he isn't," Laura defended me, " WE want a family and a house and we just don't think about spending money on what you call fun." I smiled as I listened to her. I also listened as he spun his web of little remarks and innuendos. "I'll bet that Jim has a little fun without you around," he said. I wanted to go around and punch his lights out. I had never heard so much trash coming out of anyone's mouth. So far Laura had kept him at bay. Then he changed his tack, "Listen Laura...I know that you want to be an equal partner in buying your house and I think that's admirable. You have to understand that you can't have that and stay within narrow concepts." I tried to figure out what he was saying here. I kept listening as they had another cocktail. I knew that Laura's threshold was very low. I was getting cramped and wanted a drink myself but I had to remain hidden till I found out just what was going on. I heard Laura tell him that she had better get on her way, that her husband would be home soon. The guy that I found out was named, Chaz Waldron, Laura had kept referring to him as Mister Waldron till he stopped her and said for her to call him Chaz. "Look Laura," he told her, "I have a meeting with some big people in the company coming up in Denver next week and I need you to come and meet me there. " He went on to explain that some people at corporate had heard of her good work and wanted to discuss moving up in the company with her. "Oh I can't go and leave my husband like that," she said but I could hear the excitement in her voice. He told her that I did not have to know the details. She could say that she was going there with Gladys and a couple of the other girls from the office. I heard them order another drink. That made three and I knew that laura's judgement was impaired after just two. I decided to let her go on drinking and see where it would lead. I knew that this guy had a mile long line and I knew what he was up to. I just wanted Laura to see it too. Then Laura started talking as she drank. She became looser and soon was telling Chaz that she did feel a little left out of things. She mentioned the way I seemed upset when she had drinks with Gladys and the girls. "He really was suspicious when we went to Carstairs...you know the place that I met you." So that was it. This guy was on a schedule of how to get into Laura's pants and was going slowly. That was when I noticed the long mirror mounted at a downward angle above the bar. It gave me a perfect view of them in the booth. All I had to do way to look up slightly. My side was pretty dark so I was sure that they couldn't see me. I thought that they were opposite each other but I saw that Laura was against the partition and that Chaz sat close to her on the outside. She was trapped. Chaz sat to the side almost facing her and casually moved his arm on the back of the booth right above her shoulders. It was a classic entrapment move. This guy was good, that is if being a good creep was good at all. Then he had let a hand fall down and was twirling a finger in her hair, real nonchalant like. It worked as Laura didn't seem to take notice of it. His next move was to place his arm lightly across her shoulders. Laura still didn't object. This guy was smooth, smooth like a snake. Then before I was aware of what was happening he was kissing her. He had moved his mouth over her's as she was talking to him, facing toward him. I know her mouth was open since she had been talking when he made his move. She was so startled that her mouth remained open and this gave Chaz the opportunity to insert his tongue inside her mouth. She was either too scared or too tipsy to fight him and soon she relented and kissed him back. I saw his hand come down to cup her breast. Laura placed her hand over his to move it but only succeeded in trapping the offending hand to her breast. "God you feel so womanly laura" Chaz said softly. I half rose , intending to go plant a good one on him right then and I didn't mean a kiss either. Laura finally succeeded in pulling away from him. She was out of breath and said, "Wow I didn't expect that." I knew that it was the first time that she had kissed another man in the years that we had been together. With dating and being married that was over five years. Chaz was slick and he became very emotional then. "Sorry Laura...it won't happen again...it's just that you are so..." Like the master he was he let it hang there. Instead he bent down and kissed her again. Laura was more eager this time. I knew that I had a real problem here. I needed, first of all to get her away from him and then deal with him later. Then I heard him tell a very breathless Laura that they will go up to his room and meet Gladys that was waiting for them there. Now I didn't believe for a second that the girls were there waiting for them. Laura was a little drunk and vulnerable and he knew exactly what he was doing. They got up to leave with Chaz doing the leading and laura reluctantly following. Then I could have hit myself, I remembered her cell phone. They were headed toward the elevator at one end of the bar. I punched her speed button. I could hear her phone ring as they headed to the elevator. Laura's voice sounded tense when she answered. " Hi love," I said, then without giving her a chance to reply, "Listen I'm at the Ransom Hotel right now and I thought you could meet me here for some dinner before we head home." The elevator door opened and Chaz was trying to pull laura in. She pushed away "Oh that would be great Jim...I'm just leaving work right now...I'll meet you in the restaurant." "Great," I told her and watched her speaking to Chaz. I clicked the phone shut and watched as she was telling him she had to leave Chaz was a bad looser and I could see him trying to save his situation. Laura let him kiss her again and pulled away. She started to leave and then to my surprise she went and threw herself back into his arms and kissed him. This time she was the aggressor. I saw her head to the women's restroom so I got up and went to the restaurant to await her. It was about a ten minute walk from her building. In fifteen minutes she was there. She was out of breath. "I hurried," she told me. I could see that she had repaired her makeup and straightened her clothes out. I raised up and kissed her and was surprised when she flinched. I asked he what was wrong. She said that nothing was wrong that she had just had a trying day. "You know you don't have to work...Jerry told me that a promotion was in the making today and that will mean more money," I told her. "But I want to work...I want to be a part of us getting a family," she said. I didn't tell her that the way she had been acting lately had made me have second thoughts about a baby. To bring a child into a world that both parents were not one hundred percent was a bad thing. We ate our dinner almost in silence. I wondered what would have happened if i hadn't interfered with her in going to his room. During the meal a couple walked through the restaurant holding a small baby. I mentioned the baby to Laura to call her attention to it. I just wanted her to see it. "Why are you always harping on me about a child for... I thought we had settled that," she snapped. I couldn't respond to her because I was speechless. What had brought on such a reply from her. That night the thought of what would have happened if she had went to his room kept bothering me. I told laura I would be back in an hour. I went to the see a guy I worked with that was a part time private investigator. I remember him telling me about a bug he had that could pick up voices from a hundred feet away and was small enough to hide in a wallet. I told Ed that I had a little problem and wanted to know where to purchase one of the bugs. He said that he had several and that he could let me borrow one. he did not want to know what i wanted it for. He probably figured I had a good reason. he had seen Laura a couple of times and remarked to me back then about what an extremely attractive woman she was. At home I found the perfect time to place the bug in Laura's wallet. She liked to soak in the bathtub for a long time and read. I slipped it in and almost felt guilty. Ed had also lent me the receiver and I knew that I had to keep it turned off when the bug was close by or it would make a shrill sound. Not a good thing for stealth. The next day at work I activated the receiver and listened through a small ear piece while I worked and only took it out when someone came in to talk to me. At first there was just a lot of noise and distant voices. Her purse was probably in her desk. About noon she must have taken the purse out and went to lunch. " Chaz was very upset with you running off yesterday, " a female voice said. "I didn't have any choice... Jim was at the hotel and I couldn't take a chance being seen," Laura replied. I listened to the two walk and then the noise level changed. I guess they had went into a cafeteria next door. There was the usual sounds of people selecting food and then a cash register being rung up. Small talk. Then silence. I could picture her and the woman looking for a place to sit. "OH look there's Chaz...let's join him," the female voice. "Well hello beautiful, " Chaz speaking to Laura. Then a sound and Laura quickly said. "Please not here...this is too public," Chaz must have kissed her in the cafeteria. "Oh look there," it was the female voice again, "There's Donna, why don't you two carry on while I go and talk to her about something." There was noise of someone pulling a chair away. After a short silence, "Laura you left me hanging yesterday... I had a rough night because of it." "I know...but I couldn't let Jim find me there," Laura said softly, "I'll make it up to you...I promise." What. She would make it up to him. I seethed to the boiling point. Why soul she owe him anything? Broken Dream " Well we could continue in my hotel room...look let me square it away with Gladys...I'm sure she will let you have the rest of the day off, " he said then added, "With pay." I was already out of my office. I was due to take a lunch anyway. I hardly ever did anyway. I headed the three blocks that I knew the cafeteria was. I only hoped that I was in time. I remembered to turn the receiver off before I went in. The last thing I heard was Chaz saying that he would also make it up to laura. I met them in on the sidewalk just outside the cafeteria. "Hey honey...glad I caught you," I said hugging her and ignoring Chaz. "Listen I have the day off so...." I started to say. " Hey who do you think you are," Chaz got real venomous, "Laura and I were going somewhere." "I can see that but I am her husband and I believe I have prior rights," I said, " And just who are you?" "Well I'm her boss...that's who," he said defensively. I looked at Laura and cocked my head as if to say is he? Laura hesitated and I'm sure that she had never actually been told that Chaz was one of her bosses. I said that I don't remember Laura mentioning a boss named Chaz... " I thought all the bosses were women," I said. Chaz acted like a wolf that had just had a meal taken from it. Laura knew that I was in the navy. What she didn't know and I never told her was that I was in UDT. It's what they call the seals. I had already sized chaz up and classified as a quickie. That meant that I would wrap him up in about ten seconds...that is if I was feeling lazy. I had already picked the spot that I was going to hit him. Oh did I mention that he was fully six inches taller and heavier. Us seals are pretty small guys. We can't take up too much space in a submersible assault vessel. I imagine that the extra pounds and height gave Chaz boy a false sense of security. Right then Jerry and another co worker of mine came by. "Damn glad I caught you Jim," Jerry said, "Heard that you had taken off for lunch and thought I'd tell you that all the team took off too. We're all headed for Jimmies...want to come?" Jimmies a large place away from downtown. It had food and drinks and several pool tables. It was an all around get together place. I looked at Laura. "Now that sounds like a plan...come on," I said taking her by the elbow, "We never spend enough time with my work mates." Jerry said that he would see us there. I told Laura we could take her car since we were close to it. Chaz still wouldn't give up. "Listen it's customary to let someone know in advance when something like this comes up," he blustered, "Laura and I had some things to discuss." "Well," I said softly, " I think that I don't need you to tell me how to do things...especially when it comes to my wife." "Well then...I guess that she will not be your wife much longer. I could tell that Chaz regretted saying that as soon as it slipped out. That's the trouble with pack animals, they react to things without thinking. "What did you say dude?" I asked and advanced on him. "Nothing...I didn't say anything," Chaz said quickly. He must have seen something in my eyes. It was pure mayhem. I took Laura by the arm and walked away with her. As we turned the corner I glanced back and Chaz was acting like he was fit to be tied. That boy sure was in a hurry to put the make on my wife. I wondered if she could see it. When we got home later that night she started to berate me for making an ass out of myself with Chaz. "I need that job and you are jeopardizing it." "Look just what is Chaz's position with the company," I asked. Laura couldn't answer, "Well I don't really know but he comes from the main office and everyone treats him like a boss." "I don't know but it has been my experience that a boss usually knows just what his job is and so do his people," I said, "Just what is Chaz's position laura...perhaps I should call and find out." " Leave me and my job alone...will you please," she retorted, "I don't want you making it hard for me there." I decided to back off. About then the phone rang and Laura picked it up. I could tell from her expression who it was. I motioned that I was going to the garage. There i wasted no time in getting in my car and turning on the receiver. I was sure that I was farther enough away from the bug. Laura's purse was on the sofa and she must be going from the living room to the bedroom with the phone and her purse. "Laura... your husband is a lucky person that his friends came alone when they did," Chaz was saying, "I would have hated to have to teach him a lesson in manners." God the gall of this creep. "Please don't hurt him Chaz," Laura begged, "He's just young and don't know what he's doing." "Well ok...I'll let it pass for now," Chaz said, "But next time I won't be so generous." He started in on her then, "you know I never have been able to see what an attractive intelligent woman see's in an immature jerk like him in the first place." He went on, "Where are you living in a rented co-op," he sneered, " Come on laura you are for much better things than that," "Well we are trying to save money for a child and a..." that's all he let he say before he interrupted again. "Oh yeah...the baby," he practically sneered then, "I can just see you a few years from now with little brats hanging off you. You will be worn out and not very pretty anymore." Made me wonder why his own mother didn't practice birth control. "Well don't you worry any baby," he said, "next week I have to go back to Denver and I want you to come up for a couple of days. You can meet the rest of the big guys and really get your feet wet in corporate." He went on buttering her up, "I know you have the right stuff that they want." Oh yeah I thought and it's right between your legs laura. I could not believe that my normally intelligent wife was acting like some teenager with a hormone imbalance. I listened to Laura tell him that she would try and get away. Chaz said that he might be able to help her some there. I wasn't sure how he could. The next day I was in my office with the ear plugs in. There wasn't much going on so I half listened till something good came up. " Hi Jim...hope we aren't interrupting you," It was jerry and he had another guy in tow. There was something about the other guy that said cop to me. I was instantly alert. "Jim this is Don Wilson," Jerry introduced me to the man and he put out a hand for a firm handshake. About then the receiver started with Chaz's voice telling Laura that he had to leave then but that he looked forward to seeing her in a few days in Denver. I noticed that Don's eyebrows went sky high as he heard the voice. "Look Jim," Jerry said, "I know that you are the kind that I don't have to hem and haw with." He went on to say that something rang a bell in him when he saw Laura's guy yesterday. He said that Don was a federal Agent and with a team that was after corporate prostitution. I felt my heart sink. That was what had been bothering me. I wondered what the deal with Chaz was. I knew that Laura was nice enough for your average wolf to make a play for but there was something more with him and Don just hit the nail on the head for me. "What we believe is that Charles Bennett," that was his real name, was just a high priced pimp, " Has been getting girls for corporate people in exchange for contracts with certain companies...like your wife's." He went on to explain that a sleezy outfit like Adaware were nothing more than escort services and that the girls that worked for them were nothing but underpaid whores for the company. They usually got a woman to go with three or four clients and then dumped them before they found out too much. "The girls never know that they have been had," he said, "Guys like Chaz usually break them in and the girl is doing him a favor by going with one or two guys." He said that it was made to seem like Chaz was in love with the girl and that his job depended on the girl screwing this or that guy. What these creeps got, usually was a young married woman with little or no sexual experience other that her husband, "Sounds like a plan if you're a real rich perv, getting high class escorts that really weren't," Don said. " Look Jim, what are you doing bugging her to find out what the hell is going on?" Jim looked at the man and then decided to tell him the truth. "That's great Jim...Oh don't get me wrong about your wife but we can't bug these creeps with nothing more than suspicion. Most of the girls that have been caught up in it won't talk since they are just trying to get their marriages back on track." The gist of it was that I had decided to bug Laura on my own for the purpose of finding out if she was unfaithful. That was perfectly legal. If on the other hand what I found out could amount to criminal charges then I could turn the tapes over to the authorities and they could get the proof from them. It made sense in today's society that favors law breakers. Before they left they said that if I went to see Ed again he might have some more toys for me. I did. There was the bug for Laura's cell phone. Man was it small. Then there were the taps for our home phone and one that I could operate from within a fifty mile radius. I felt better then knowing that if Laura got in over her head that I would hear and come to her rescue. Don and a few agents would be in Denver with me ready to pounce on the slime balls. Don had clued me in on how they operated. They would hire a pretty innocent woman like Laura and then set her up. The drinks after work, the praise heaped on them by sluts like Gladys were bound to take a toll after a while. Don mentioned that they had set the pace up with Laura. He felt that they were going much to fast with her, which is why I became suspicious. Don thought that they must be real hard up or their greed had increased. I was still hoping that Laura would not have to go through all that. I was hoping that she would come to her senses but that didn't happen. On Friday Laura brought up the trip that was to take place on Tuesday. "Guess what Jim," laura started out, "The company wants me to go to Denver next week for a couple of days. Now before you make a rush to judgement you should know that Gladys and a couple of the other girls are going too." I tried to reason with her but not give it away that I knew. "Laura," I said, "I hate to say this but you have been there less than a month." I explained that most companies waited several months before investing in an out of town trip unless there was another reason. Laura flew into my face. "Your jealousy is getting too much for me," she yelled, "You think that you are the only one worth something." Then she said something about typical male supremacy. I had to blanch at that I loved my wife and that was the only reason I tried to reason with her. I was angry at her outburst and countered angrily myself, "I suppose that your friend...what's his name...Chaz will be there also." Laura's face then took on a slight smile, not for me, but the thought that her boy Chaz would be there and she could see him with out me being in the way. I had made Don promise that I could have Chaz first. This was the first time that Don had been able to be an electronic fly on the wall, legally. They knew from previous illegal taps what was going on but Don couldn't go for indictments with illegal taps. He had already gotten opinions from legal experts about the results of my spying. The feds would not encouraging me in any way. Jerry was taking care of my expense through the company for some made up reason. We were all set. All we had to do was to wait till Tuesday. I had the entire weekend to see if I could not dissuade Laura not to go. I put up some weak arguments for I really wanted this to be over and the only way that would happen was for all parties, except Laura, to be behind bars. We enjoyed an almost normal weekend. We went to a local lake and spent Saturday picnicking and rowing a rented canoe around the lake. Fridays tapes, I was recording all her conversations no matter how insignificant. I had heard Gladys tell her to act normal over the weekend. I felt a little comfort when Laura said that there was nothing to be abnormal about and what did she mean by that. Monday was the hardest day of all. But by the time Tuesday morning arrived I kissed Laura goodbye at home and went to work. Actually I went to the airport to catch an earlier flight to Denver an hour before Laura's flight. She arrived at the airport cab before my flight took off. I was able to monitor her conversations with Gladys and another woman, who had started just a week before her. Janice Harper, however, knew what was going on. She let a few things slip to Laura. " I hope that Randall Connors is there like last week," she told Laura...and me, and half of the task force. " What do you mean Janice." that was Laura. "well you will have to find out...but I can say this," she said, "It was great not being taken for granted by my husband and well...his...you know his...was larger too." Laura was saved from having to respond when Gladys had evidently come up. The rest was just normal girl chatter but I heard Gladys chastising Janice for talking to Laura like that. Laura must have left her purse there and went to get something. The bug picked up Gladys telling Janice that Laura wasn't to find out till the right time. Janice asked when was the right time and she was told. "After Chaz has his way...you know like with you..." My plane was called and we boarded. I stayed at the airport with a driver while Don and the others went to the hotel to set things up. I was booked in the room next door and on the floor above where Laura and the others would be staying. Their room was next to Chaz's. Sure made things convenient for them...well for us too. As soon as Laura's plane landed the receiver came alive again. Laura seemed at being in Denver. It was her first trip to the mile high city. Well actually she hadn't been too much of anywhere. We both were from Nebraska and had only moved in the state since we were married. Janice seemed to be the most excited of all. I guess all she could think of was getting more extra martial cock. "They were whisked away by a limo and I knew that laura would feel very glamorous. This was all part of the package to get her to whore for them. I cursed. I didn't realize that i had spoken aloud till my driver, who was trained in pursuit, said, "Take it easy Jim it's almost over." I sure hoped it was. The only thing was that the worst was yet to come. I followed them to the hotel and waited till they went in the elevator. I went to my floor and into my room. I had a connecting door to Dos's and the task force room but I just left the door open. I turned the receiver back on. "Oh this is so exciting." it was Laura. "Just you wait a while and then things get real exciting," Janice. "Ok girls settle down," this was Gladys, "Laura as soon as you freshen up, Chaz will be in his room...it's 1404." Laura must have ran off to the bathroom but what I heard would really make Don happy. Gladys was speaking to Janice, "Listen sweet I know you were looking forward to renewing things with Arnold but I found out he can't make it this time. Another client is coming this time and we really need his vote to stay alive." She went on to say that the company was really in bad financial trouble and that Janice could save everyone's job by making the new man real happy. Janice replied that she would do her best. "I really need this job since my husband was laid off." Janice said, "You can count on me to help, she giggled then, I might like it." Boy was that slut dumb as hell. Trouble was some jerk of a husband probably thought she was the salt of the earth. I thought about me then. I was the dumb jerk. But my day would come soon. I heard laura when she finished with her freshening up. She still must have had on only a dressing gown because I heard Gladys tell her to run and see Chaz. So she was going to see Chaz with out any clothes much. Talk about expediting things. Don had been right . It was run like mass production. I went to the array of electronic gadgets I, already set up my last quick trip there when I rented the room. The monitor was a large 60 inch plasma. I turned it all on and saw Chaz open the door for my wife. He had on a robe. He opened the door and then my wife was in his arm's. She seemed excited to be there with him. Chaz didn't waste time but closed the door while still holding her. He kissed her on the lips in a long passionate kiss and my heart almost stopped as I saw Laura returning it eagerly. I felt the hotness envelope my face and I thought for a minute that I was going to pass out. It hit me that hard. I watched and wondered what I had missed before I had planted the bug. I had a feeling that it was plenty. I grit my teeth and watched. Like I said Chaz must have been in a hurry and it now looked like Laura was too. "Now where that wimp of a husband can't tell you what to do," Chaz said and whisked Laura's dressing gown off her shoulders leaving her standing there in her bra and panties. "Oh my God you are beautiful...you are a goddess," he said. I wondered where he had been to school, probably a school for sleezy wolfs. Laura stood there letting Chaz look at her, "Well was I worth the wait?" she asked, seemingly pleased that the older man found her attractive. "You were more than worth it," Chaz said moving in for the kill, "but i want to see all of you." The monitor was of excellent quality and I could see Laura blush. She reached behind her back to unsnap the bra. Her soft breast fell out in the open and took on their natural shape, unencumbered by the bra. Chaz looked like a feral dog when he sees a steak dinner. He stepped forward and took one of her breast in his mouth. For the next few minutes I had to endure watching my wife moaning, with her eyes closed as if in a dream, while the creep sucked her soft breast. The breast that until now had been only for me. Chaz didn't wait for her to do the honors but he already had her panties sliding down her luscious thighs. Laura was clearly out of her class as the suave sleez led her to the bed. "Let's get through this first awkwardness then we can really have fun Laura dear, " he said laying her back. Laura seemed to be enraptured and then I noticed that she was speaking in a kind of a slur. To be perfectly honest Laura seemed to be drugged or something and she was just now experiencing the full effects of whatever it was she was given. Then I remembered the clinking sounds of glasses being toasted in the room and Gladys saying drink up to our success. Laura had been given something to make sure she went along with what ever. I felt better about it then but then i remembered her standing there and saying was she worth it. That had been all her and I wasn't sure that was forgivable. I watched, in a daze, as Chaz whipped his robe off showing that he was naked and ready. His hard cock stuck out before him, a lot larger than mine. I gulped my heart back down and stared as Laura spread her thighs and Chaz lay between and speared her at the same time. He had to have practiced this to be so good. He didn't have to even aim or anything. He was atop her and his cock was in her, just like that. Laura winced as his thick cock penetrated her but she recovered fast enough and began to moan and cry out as he began to fuck her. I held my breath. I knew that I had to watch it no matter how much I wanted to close my eyes against the scene that unraveled before me. I watched as my wife cheated on me with the low life sleezy, creep. Oh I have read about those men that say, "I watched my wife get fucked by a big cock and I had the hardest cock I had ever had." Well those guys are sick and either closet fags or have some underlying psychosis, in addition they can't possibly love their wives. I truly loved mine. I became aware of tears streaming down my face. I was glad I was alone. I think Don knew it would be difficult for me. Normally I would have gone to the room and kicked the door in and fucked Chaz up real bad. But there was more at stake here than just me and Laura. There were many wives that had been entrapped by Adaware's web of deceit. I owed it to all these wives and to those that would come to put a stop to this. I also owed it to myself and Laura. This and this alone made me wait. Broken Dream I figured that my watching was the price I would have to pay for half killing the son of a bitch. The hardest part of all was seeing my wife respond to Chaz's treatment. I knew that the RHP or whatever they gave her would make her extremely responsive to her rape, and it was rape. There was no doubt that Laura would have never let Chaz take her so easy. Oh she might have relented with a little resistance but there had been none. The drug had erased that option. The noise of flesh slapping on flesh was loud in my head. It cheapened Laura. The sounds sounded like what pigs might make while they rut. That was the word I had searched for, Rut, the two were rutting. Not making love or even having sex but simple rutting like animals. My hatred for Chaz grew and along with it and I think I was loosing the love I had for Laura. It was a strange feeling. One minute I was there, anguished over seeing my loved one betraying me, and the next it was as if a giant weight had lifted from me. I stood there amazed at the feelings, or rather the lack of feelings, that came over me. I was simply watching and recording my lawful married wife cheating on me with another man. Oh I would still half kill him but that would be for what he had did before now. Right now my wife was being recorded while forsaking her marriage vows. I could see Chaz's large cock stretch her open. I could see the glistening moisture around her opening. I still felt a few tears fall but they were for the past. As far as the present there was nothing. I intended to send Laura packing back to her parents in Red Bluff with nothing but what she had brought into the marriage. marriage? I almost laughed at the word. Laura had her arm's around his back and her legs were locked around his waist. I was amazed because she had never acted like this with me. She was grunting and moaning at the same time. Then suddenly Chaz pulled out of her. her body still reacted as she had his cock in her. He quickly climbed on her chest and pushed his cock into her mouth. "Oh Laura," he cried out, "I'm coming...get it, take my cum you slut," I cringed at his use of the word. Laura started to sucking greedily at his cock. Then Chaz started to yell out and hold his ass tight and still as he pumped his sperm into my wife's mouth. Laura never would swallow my cum. She would take it in her mouth but them she would spit in into a towel. She always said that she didn't like the taste. I accepted this. I didn't know what it tasted like and accepted her word that it was bad. She did not do this with Chaz. I saw her cheek's hollow as she sucked hard. She gagged a little as his sperm went down her throat, but take it she did. Not only was she swallowing his scum but she was sucking hard to get all she could out of his cock. Chaz let her service him till he was finished and then he got up and put his robe on. Laura started to protest but he shut her up. "Look bitch. " He said, "I have a video of you fucking me and if you know what's good for you you'll do what ever I tell you to do or that video goes straight to your little boy scout husband. Laura had a look of horror on her face. Disbelief showed in her eye's. "What are you saying...I thought you loved me," She cried, tears steamed down her face. He reached over and slapped her. It had the desired effect. She shut up. "You women," he sneered at her, " It didn't take much to get you to spread your married leg's." Laura rubbed her face. "Get yourself fixed up...there are going to be some more guys for you to fuck soon," he looked at her with hatred I have rarely see. "Look at you," he said sharply, "I have never had an easier time with the other wives but you practically begged for it. Guess you were ready to fuck around on boy scout." Laura remained in the bed and he started toward her but Gladys came in the room then. She yelled at Chaz and he went into another room. "Look Laura," she said wiping her face with a tissue, " I don't understand Chaz sometimes. He says things that he doesn't mean." Laura was watching her suspiciously. "But right now I need your help," she looked directly at Laura, " The company is in bad trouble and we need your help." She then proceeded to tell Laura that she needed her to make a certain client happy so that he would vote the way that was good for the company. The vote was to be in a couple of hours and someone had gotten him to go to Chaz's room and there would be a certain young lady there. She was to entertain him and then hopefully, out of gratitude he would go to the meeting and cast his vote the right way." Look honey Chaz didn't cum in you so that you could be nice and clean for him. You still need to cum," she went on, "That drink I gave you made sure that you would be ready." " Go on bitch," I said to myself, "Dig the hole a little deeper." She was convicting herself. "what do you think we brought you here for," She almost laughed then, " No sweet dumb Laura...we brought you here to fuck some guys for us and it will be to your own good. You can do the company a lot of good and keep a good job." She patted Laura on her shoulder. "Now are you ready for him," she said and then added, "Remember the whole company is counting on you and your husband will be none the wiser." Laura feebly nodded her head. There was a knock on the door then. Gladys looked at Laura again, " That's him now." she went to let a fat , bald man about sixty in. Laura looked horrified. The man approached the bed, pulling off his clothes as he did. Gladys left the room through the same door that Chaz had taken. The man was naked by the time he got to the bed. He reached and pulled Laura up to a sitting position " Now the first thing I want from you is to have my dick sucked," he grabbed laura by the hair of her head, "Now start sucking bitch...I paid that woman good money for you." Laura looked at the short stubby worm of a cock and then bent forward and started sucking. "Yeah that's right sweety," the fat man said, " You suck real good...better that a regular whore." He went on talking while my wife...no excuse me the whore sucked his cock. He told her that married cunt was so much better than regular whores and Gladys always had some good ones for him. " She did alright by you," he said, "You are a good one...watch those teeth and soon I'll give you a mouthful of my best cum." He started to laugh then as he began to cum in the woman's mouth. I could tell that once again my whore wife was taking a man's sperm in her belly. I had seen enough. I turned around to see Don standing in the doorway "Jim...I'm sorry you had to witness that...really." He said that his task force was ready and waiting for me. He turned a recorder on and I spoke my name. I said that I was trying to catch wife in a compromising position for a possible divorce action but that I had seen a criminal act of prostitution and was therefore turning all my records of my wife's unfaithfulness over to the proper authorities. Don let out a deep breath then as he accepted the tapes from me. On the monitor Laura was being covered by the fat man's hairy repulsive body as he fucked her. Don said that they were moving then. I was in a daze but I was following him. Don went to the room that Laura was in on the next floor up. As we went up the stair well he said that as we spoke there were search warrants being served on Adaware's offices as well as Gladys home and anyone connected with kicked the door to Chaz's room in while others went down the hall to other rooms including the one she was first in with Gladys and the other women. Don had said that he would have to arrest Laura since, unwilling or not, she was part of it. When I saw her under the fat man crying for him to fuck her harder, I lost it. I jumped on the bed and hauled his fat ass off Laura. As I punched him in his gut Don was showing Laura a badge and telling her that she was under arrest for crossing state lines to engage in prostitution. She was in shock as the world she had known before that day came crashing down. The fat man was crying out that he had only paid for an escort and that this woman had raped him. Laura then recognized me. She had gathered her gown to her in a show of modesty. As far as I was concerned there was nothing modest about her. She called out to me but I just looked scornfully at her. That look made her turn white and then she seemed to deflate into a rag heap on the floor. A couple of women in FBI jackets took her and led her from the room. Don and the other agents had went into the next room where Chaz and Gladys had disappeared. Gladys and Chaz were naked and in bed together. I went in and Don and another agent led Gladys out in cuffs with only a robe hastily thrown over her. Don came to me and said that Chaz had locked himself in the bathroom," We'll come back for him in about ten minutes." He winked at me. I went to the door and called out for Chaz "Hey Chaz old boy this is that little boy scout wimp and I want you to come out." I told the door that the agents would be back in ten minutes but that till then he was mine. The door suddenly swung open and there was Chaz, naked as the day he was born. His large cock was shrived up and trying to escape into his belly. He looked savagely at me. "So you are behind all this...well I guess I need to teach you that lesson then," he said with a smirk. I smiled then. I couldn't help it. I always liked it when someone started out to give me a good fight. It was much better than just pummeling a defenseless man. He saw the way and the look in his eye's changed into something else. That look was the one that a person would have when he discovers that what he thought was a harmless garden snake was really a deadly one. That look was pure primal fear. He didn't even see the hand that reached out and slapped him hard. Something I learned from Steven Segal. Chaz's hand went to his face in surprise. Before he could react I slapped him again of the other side of his face. He was looking for a way to escape me then. "What's the matter sleezball," I asked him, slapping him again."What's the matter mother fucker...I thought you were going to teach Laura's little wimp husband a good lesson...well teacher I'm waiting," I grinned and slapped him again. By now his face was very red from my small slaps. "Hey bastard...look at me," I yelled at him. There was venom in my voice, "You like to fuck around with a man's wife...you like to make a whore out of her?" I quit playing with him. I hit him hard in his nose. I felt and heard it crunch. Now, I thought, for the teeth. My first blow broke his front teeth and he cried out like a little baby and tried to staunch the bleeding with his hands. He was unable to keep his teeth from spewing out on the floor. "You can't do this to me ," he said as well as he could. It really came out as "glomph fubbsq shedda moout." "Why can't I do it too you...funk face," I said, "Hey when you funk with a man's woman you have to expect it." "I'm in police custody," he screamed as well as a man can scream with a busted mouth. "Oh are you?" I asked, "I'm sure you will be in another two minutes but till then your ass is mine." I spent the next two minutes showing him what i could do to him in that time. When he lay in a puddle on the floor Don came back in. "Oh there it is," he said looking at the mass of flesh and saw that it was still breathing. He reached for his walki talki and asked someone to get a medic, " No hurry though," he added. He looked at me, " Feel better?" he asked. I nodded my head. "Only about him." I said. I still knew that I would have to deal with Laura. I went with Don to where he had taken all the principles in the case. He said that he would release Laura in my custody but they would all have to stand trial in Lincoln. I nodded. I was still feeling terrible about the way that everything turned out. I had hoped, naturally, that laura would tell Chaz to get lost. Even though she had been drugged she made the steps to him while she was still in her right mind. Well that can be debated. I agreed to take her back to Nebraska and actually had to sign for her. After all this time I was going to have to sign for my wife. When she appeared before the federal court in Lincoln she would be on her own. Don told me that her testimony would be a big plus and probably get charges dropped for it. She had straightened up some by then and I took her to the airport. At first she just cried and then started to try and explain things to me. "Look Laura, " I said, " You have had plenty of chances to talk to be before you went to Denver. I begged you to talk to me...but you were so enthralled by your lover you..." "Stop calling him that." she screamed at me, it was lucky we were in a FBI exec jet on the return trip. "I don't know what else to call him," I said, " After all the way I saw you fuck him and then suck his cock..." "What...what are you talking about," she wanted to know. "Look Laura I had his room bugged with cameras before you got there," I told her, "As a matter of fact I did it as soon as you told me you were going to take the trip." I went on, " I pretty much knew what would happen and I wanted proof for the divorce." At the mention of the 'D' word she looked at me incredulously, "Whaaat...you want a divorce?" "What the hell do you think," I said angrily, " I see my wife fucking two men , one of them a sleezball and the other a fat man old enough to be her grandfather." "But...but... what about the baby we wanted?" she stammered. "I just looked at her then and thought about what I was going to say, "I don't think that I would want a child out of you after what you did. It's as if your body has been tainted by what you did." I looked away and then told her that if she a baby then she should have one with another man after the divorce was final. I also told her that i did want children but that I would have to wait till I met the right woman."These years with you has only caused a temporary setback but I am still young enough." She began to sob the rest of the trip. when I got her home I told her that she could stay in the guest room. " When I file for divorce then we will make other arrangements but I can tell you this," I was slow to speak then, " Look I am the one with a job that needs some thing stable in my life. If you want to stay in Lincoln then I suggest that you will have to find your own place." What was hardest for me, even after all I had seen, was talking to Laura like this. She had been my wife and my life and now she was nothing. I was hurting badly. I felt that I had to be hard on her. After all that was how I felt. She had betrayed me. Oh the sex part was not the worst betrayal but the betrayal=yal was how she allowed her co-workers to destroy us. They had destroyed us as sure as if they had killed us with bullets. There was the time at the restaurant when I saw the couple with the baby and wanted Laura to see. That was one thing we had dreamed about. Her angry retort was still fresh in my mind. The way she treated me like the enemy that was trying to keep her away from her friends and her lover. I didn't have the whole story yet. That came out during the following week when one woman who had quit Adaware just before the Denver trip. She was supposed to go. She told all about the way that everyone had ganged up on her and Laura about them being happily married. She said that she needed a job too but that she finally saw what they were doing she quit. She would be another prosecution witness. That night when I did manage to talk to Laura I told her about the woman. "She loved her husband enough to fight them," I said, " Why couldn't you?" I told her that was her biggest betrayal. She had let them destroy her love for me and that's why I questioned if she had ever really loved me. I told her that she could perhaps be helped by some counseling. Me I knew that the only thing that could help was time. The following week I had to take her to the federal courthouse. She found that all charges against her would be dropped in exchange for her cooperation. The trial was to start in about three months. As I left the court house she caught up with me. "What about me now?" she asked. I told her that she was free to go where ever she wanted just that she had to be back for the trial. " But ...where do I go now?" she asked. I was dreading this moment. Her car was a college graduation gift from her parents but it was small and not capable of carrying all her stuff back to Red Bluff. I told her that I would at least do that on Saturday. I then told her that she could stay at the condo till then. "I know that it's not what Chaz would want for you," I said that sarcastically and regretted that I had said it. I realized that my own healing could not begin till she was out of my life. I told her that I had wanted to have the divorce papers ready by now but I had felt to low down to do much. My work had suffered and Jerry was a real friend. He knew that i would snap back and besides his philosophy dictated that he be patient. He had to double check my work and found a few mistakes that would have cost the company if he hadn't caught them but all in all my work was still above par. He tried to tell me to find it in my heart to forgive Laura. On Saturday I carried Laura's things back to Red Bluff. I followed her all the way back. She drove like she was in a daze. I remembered when we drove to Lincoln from Red Bluff. I remembered all the hopes and dreams we had. I had been offered a new job and we both were looking ahead to a beautiful life. Now the return trip said that we had failed. Not only had Laura failed but I had also. Looking back now I can see that Adaware and Chaz had also pushed my buttons. Perhaps I was wrong to place so much of the blame on Laura. They were good at what they did. They were masters at breaking people up. I found that tears were falling down my face.
