There will not be a lot of descriptive sex, but sex of course is a big part of most of these stories. I enjoy the stories of personal triumph, so that is what I'm striving for. ***** My name is Randy Burns. I am 32 years old. I guess I should begin my story back when I was in high school. I really wasn't a nerd or anything, but I was very smart. I was never very athletic, so I never tried out for sports. I had friends, but of course none of them were athletes. Since I never lifted weights or worked out, I didn't have the most ideal body. Oh, some of the girls thought I was pretty good looking, but I just didn't have the muscles that a lot of guys had. I did have brains though, and I finished 1st in my class. After graduation, I received an academic scholarship to MIT. I dated a few girls here and there, but never found anyone I really cared for. It was my Senior year that I met Linda. She immediately captured my heart. I fell head over heels in love with her. Let me tell you a little about Linda. You see, we told each other everything about our past before we got married. Yes, we got married right after our college graduation. Linda was very popular in high school. She was extremely beautiful, and very sexy. When Linda walked into a room, all heads turned. She told me about dating a big stud football player named Luke. They were a couple for about 3 years during high school. She told me it was Luke that took her virginity. After graduation, Luke got a football scholarship, and she never saw him again until 10 years after we married, but more on that later. Luke broke up with her, and went on to play college football, then some professional football. Linda said at first she was devastated, but then realized she could do fine without him. Linda went to school at Boston University. We met through some mutual friends and started dating. I don't know if she fell in love with my brains or what, but she made it clear she wanted to marry me, and have kids someday. After graduation, I got a job as an Electrical Engineer. Linda got a job with a small marketing firm. We made a good comfortable living, and enjoyed life to the fullest. Now I thought our sex life was pretty amazing. I mean, we did it all the time. We were spontaneous, and adventurous. I never failed to make sure she had orgasms, and I was always attentive to her needs. We decided to give it 10 years before starting our family. That would give us time to travel, and play around. I also started saving money, because when we had kids, I didn't want Linda to work before they started school. That is what Linda wanted also. So life was good. Everything seemed to be going according to plan. Then something happened that eventually would turn my world upside down. Somehow, I knew it the moment I heard the news. Linda and I were sitting at the dinner table one evening when she said, "guess what honey, we hired a new employee today, and he has been assigned to my team." "And who would that be, sweetheart?" I said, with a curious look on my face. "Now don't be upset, but it is Luke Johnson, my old high school boyfriend." My look of curiosity quickly turned into a look of concern, maybe even a look of fear. Linda saw it right away. Then she laughed and said, "ok, I can see the jealous look on your face. Honey I assure you that you have nothing to worry about. I love you, and I am totally devoted to you. Any feelings I had for Luke disappeared a long time ago. It will be strictly a professional relationship, I promise you." With that she stood up and peeled off her clothes. Then she pulled my pants down and sucked my dick until I was about to unload. Then she told me to bend her over the dining room table and take her from behind. It was so spontaneous, and incredible, I almost forgot all about Luke. That night in bed was so full of passion, and I'm guessing she had 3 or 4 orgasms. After we finished, I asked her if she could request that Luke be put on another team. Again she laughed and said that was silly. Even if Luke did try something, she could handle him. She tried to alleviate my fears, and she did a little, but in the back of my mind was this fear that he had come back to take her away from me. Over the next few weeks she began to mention Luke quite often. The company hired him because he was an ex ball player, and had name recognition. Linda said he was doing real well, and was a big asset to her team. We went to a company party, and I finally got to meet Luke. He practically tried to break my hand when we shook. He was a big dude, with muscles ripping out of his shirt. While shaking my hand he looked at Linda and said, "so you married this little wimp?" He laughed and walked away. I shot a look at Linda, but she just mouthed "I'm sorry" to me, then started talking to someone else. All evening Luke kept hanging on Linda. He kept bringing her drinks and talking about their high school days. She was laughing, and flirting right back with him. I also noticed Luke kept putting his arm around Linda. I guess Linda was oblivious to me sitting in the corner feeling hurt, ignored, and left out. She finally noticed me, and I guess realized I was not enjoying this very much. She came over and sat by me and said, "Randy honey, don't be upset. Luke is just like that. He is a big flirt, but I assure you that there is nothing to worry about. You are my husband, and I love you very much." Linda went back to the party, and I just sat there. A few minutes later I noticed that Luke and Linda were missing. I asked someone if the had seen Linda. They told me they saw her and Luke go in the house. I walked in, but didn't see them. I walked up the stairs, and noticed a door half open to a bedroom. I peeked in and saw Luke and Linda talking. "Linda, I know you still have feelings for me. Let me just kiss you and see if there is still something there. I know I feel it." "No Luke. I am married, and I love Randy very much. We can only be business associates," she said. I could tell Linda was pretty drunk. Then Luke just took her in his arms and kissed her. She didn't resist, but If she had been sober maybe she would have. Either way, it hurt me so much. She finally pushed Luke away and headed towards the door. I ran down the stairs and waited. Linda came down and saw me. "Oh, hi honey. I was just upstairs using the bathroom. I think we need to go. I have had a bit to much to drink." As we started to go, Luke came down the stairs. Linda looked at me with such a guilty face. I looked at her, then over at Luke. Luke gave Linda a wink, the looked at me and laughed. He was one arrogant son of a bitch. I did not say a word on the way home. In fact I said very few words the next few days. I did express my distrust of Luke, and even suggested she quit her job. She laughed it off, and kept assuring me I was the one she loved, and needed. She also mentioned that pretty soon she would be ready to start working on a baby. A couple of weeks went by, then on Tuesday night Linda told me she had a business dinner she had to be at Thursday night. She said she would probably be late getting home. "Will Luke be there?" I asked. "Yes, he was the one who set it up and told me I needed to be there with him," she said. "I don't like it Linda. It sounds fishy to me. I think he is trying to just get in bed with you." "Don't be silly Randy. It is strictly business. Besides, Luke could have any woman he wants, he doesn't need me." "Linda, I saw you two kiss at the party." "Oh Randy, I am so sorry. I was so drunk, and he cornered me in that room. I really did go up there to use the bathroom." I didn't push it because I was going to find out for sure. "Well, just watch yourself around him Linda. I don't like him, and I don't trust him. I think he wants to cuckold me with you just so he can laugh at me." Linda just laughed and again informed me I had nothing to worry about. I wasn't so sure. The next day I paid a visit to a PI, and hired him to find out everything that went on at that business dinner. I wasn't going to just sit by and let them get away with it. I wanted audio, video, the works. This guy promised I would know everything. I was hoping I would get proof that my wife was telling the truth, and would remain faithful to me. I found out from Linda where they were having dinner, then relayed the place and time to the PI. Thursday evening Linda came down ready to go. She looked incredible. She had really fixed herself up. I had to wonder why, and I asked her. She said she always looked her best when meeting with important clients, it usually helped close deals. I didn't want her to go. I told her to call in sick, and let's make love all night. Of course she refused, but promised to make it up to me that weekend. When she left I had this horrible feeling come over me. It was fear of things to come. I don't know why, I just felt it. Linda got in pretty late, and immediately took a shower. I was in bed, but not asleep. She crawled in bed and turned her back to me. "How did the business dinner go honey?" I asked. "It went pretty well," was her reply. She still did not turn and face me. I tried to touch her, but she claimed she was too tired to fool around. I laid there in the dark with tears running down my cheeks. Somehow, I knew I had lost my wife. She never picked up on it, or maybe she didn't care. The next morning I was out of the house pretty quick. I didn't say much to Linda. I had taken the day off, and was headed to meet with the PI. I did sense that Linda did look like she was feeling guilty about something. I called Rudy, the PI, and he said come on to his office. He had my report ready. I guess he had stayed up most of the night getting it ready. He was very efficient, and pretty expensive. I walked into his office pretty nervous. I was hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst. Rudy told me that he was going to tell me everything first, then show me all the video, and audio evidence. He explained that he had some very sophisticated equipment, and had no trouble getting everything they did on video, and audio. Rudy was ex CIA. He knew his stuff. He started off telling me that it was no business dinner. "Luke was the only one there when your wife arrived. She seemed surprised, and annoyed, but he convinced her to stay and have dinner and drinks with him." Rudy explained that at first Linda kept looking around to see if anyone she knew was there, but after a couple of drinks she seemed at ease. They ate, drank, and talked for at least a couple of hours. He talked about all the good times they had, and how he had missed her all these years. He also said he still had some feelings for her. This was all on the video. Rudy said, "He was pretty smooth Mr. Burns. Your wife seem to be taking in his every word. Honestly, I think he is an arrogant SOB just trying to get into her panties." I was feeling sick. This was sounding worse by the minute. I knew watching the video was going to be pure hell. Rudy went on, "He told her that he wanted to make love to her to see if the old feelings were still strong. She said no, that she was happily married to you. He continued to work on her, and finally got her to agree to a one time fling. To get it out of their system, as Luke put it." "So your saying my wife agreed to sleep with him just one time, for old times sake?" "Something like that. By the end of the meal Luke had moved pretty close to her. He was touching her, and kissing her. She seemed to not protest." "That bitch is going down," I said. "So did they decide when and where?" "Yes," said Rudy. "This afternoon at your house." "What? You have got to be kidding me?" I said. "It was Luke's idea. Your wife didn't want to do it at your house, but Luke convinced her it would exciting, and such a turn on. He probably didn't want to pay for a motel." "There is one more thing boss, he gave her a quick fuck in the back of her car. It's on the video. He convinced her to relive the first time they ever did it, which was in the back of a car." I took the folder with the report, pictures, and video and left. I called Bill, my attorney, and got him to set me up with the best divorce lawyer that specializes in adultery. He said Susan Meyers was the one I needed. He told me to get to the bank and take care of my finances. He promised Susan would be in touch soon. I went to the bank and moved most of our money into a new account in my name only. I left enough in both checking accounts to continue doing business. We each had our own credit cards, and car loans, so that would not be an issue. As I was driving away I got a call from Susan. I briefly explained the situation. She asked about the evidence and I explained what I had. She thought I would have no trouble, but if there was any, she could handle it. I dropped the folder off at her office. They made copies of everything, then gave me the original. I decided I would confront Luke and Linda in the act, in our house. I knew they were planning on leaving the office around 1:00, and go to our house. That still gave me plenty of time. I went to a rental car agency and changed cars. I was going to park near the front of my house so I could see them drive up. I also made sure my cell phone was charged. I was going to be using the video component. I got to my house in plenty of time, and parked nearby. I was hesitant, but I decided to get out my laptop and watch the video. To say the pain was excruciating was an understatement, especially the part where Luke fucked my wife in the back seat of her car. I turned off my laptop and just sat their crying, trying to understand what was happening. Why was my whole world falling in around me? What did I do? Was this my fault? Did Linda not love me anymore? Did I not give her what she needed? I was not the physical specimen Luke was, but I had put my heart and soul into this marriage. A few minutes later I saw Linda's car pull into the driveway. I could tell she had a passenger, but he was kind of slumped down in the seat. The garage door opened, and she pulled the car all the way into the garage. Then the garage door closed. I guess she didn't want anyone to see her and Luke together. I was going to wait a little bit, then go confront them. I was really scared at what I was about to witness, but I knew it was what I had to do. This was probably the worst day of my life. I used my key and quietly entered the front door. No sign of them, so I knew where they were. I quietly walked upstairs to our bedroom. I heard noises, it sounded like skin hitting skin. There was no doubt about what I was about to see. I pulled out my cell phone, and set it on video. The door was about half way open, so I looked in. Linda was on all fours with Luke behind her pounding away. I had a great shot of both of them and what they were doing. I had plenty of evidence. Linda was moaning with her eyes closed. Luke was focused on looking at her ass, and what he was doing. I took enough video to be sure and get everything. Then I put the phone in my pocket. I took a deep breath, and walked in. I stood right in front of Linda. She opened her eyes and screamed, "oh shit, no Randy, no," and started to cry. She jerked away from Luke, which left his cock sticking out in mid air. I will admit the guy was very well endowed. "You stupid little wimp. You just interrupted me right in the middle of giving your wife the best fuck she has had in a long time. Go sit down over there and watch a real man please your wife." I looked at Linda and she was crying, just saying "no", over and over. Then she said, "Randy, I am so sorry, please let me explain." Luke was laughing, and had gotten off the bed. He stood there naked laughing at me. I had never been so humiliated in my life. Tears were streaming down my face. I didn't know what to do next. I walked over towards Luke, I'm not sure why because I had no clue how to fight. I guess it was pride, or something. I reached Luke figuring I would tell him off, but what happened next caught me completely by surprise. I guess you would call it a sucker punch. I never saw it coming, and never had time to defend myself. His fist came fast, and out of nowhere. He caught me square in the jaw, and knocked me on my back. The room started spinning, and I could taste blood. My head felt like it was in a vice. I was so dizzy it took me a second to get my bearings. I could hear Luke laughing, and Linda screaming, "no Luke, stop, don't hurt my husband." I struggled to get up on all fours. When I did, Luke kicked me hard on my left side. I felt the ribs break. My side, and my upper body seemed to explode. I have never felt pain like this. I struggled to breath. He kicked my ribs again. It was the last thing I remember until waking up in the emergency room. I woke up on a gurney in the X-ray room. A technician told me to relax, they were taking pictures of my head and ribs. I was in so much pain. It also came back to me what had happened, and why I was there. They took me back to an examination room where I saw Linda sitting in a chair. She jumped up and came over and asked if I was ok. She was crying, and of course telling me over and over how sorry she was. I just stared at her. I knew it would hurt to talk, so I didn't. The doctor came in and looked me over. He told my that my wife had filled him in on what happened, and the police had been called. I was wondering what she actually told him. As it turns out, she did tell the truth. He said I had a hairline fracture of my jaw. Several ribs were broken, with one of them partially puncturing my lung. He said I was lucky, had it gone a little further, I might be dead now. I looked at Linda, and she kept crying. The doctor said I would be ok, but they were going to run a few more test, and keep me overnight for observation. I would be very sore, and would not be able to eat much solid food for a few days. I should be able to talk some by tomorrow. He left and the police came in. The one doing the talking was a female officer. She was very nice, and had gotten information from the doctor. She asked Linda a bunch of questions, which she did answer honestly. She recognized that my jaw and face were pretty swollen, but wanted me to try and answer a couple of questions. Mainly, she wanted to know if I would press charges. I whispered no, that I would take care of things myself, and I let her know that I would not break the law in doing so. She smiled at me and wished me well. I swear I think she gave Linda some sort of go to hell look. Linda came over and sat beside me. She started into apologies, and explanations, but I stopped her. I managed to get out these words, "I do not want to hear anything you say right now. I want you to go home and pack. Since I will be here tonight, you can spend one more night there. Tomorrow you leave after we talk." She tried to plead with me to let her stay at the hospital, but I pointed to the door. She got my message, and left. They gave me something that knocked me out, so I slept good. It was so strong I didn't have nightmares. Later, I would. I woke up the next morning and my sister Kim was sitting by my bed. She gave me a big hug, and said that Linda had called her last night. She told me that Linda had confessed everything, and was hoping I could forgive her. "Fat chance," was all I said. Kim had always liked Linda, but she had a different opinion now. It Was All Part of The Plan I was released from the hospital with various papers and instructions. I was also told to make an appointment with my personal physician for a follow up. Kim drove me home and let me off. She knew I was about to have a talk with Linda, and she didn't need to be there. I picked up my evidence envelope from my rental car and went inside. Linda was sitting on the couch with some packed bags next to her. I put my hospital papers, and my envelope on the table, then sat down across from Linda. "I am ready to talk Linda. My jaw is still sore, but I think I can manage. I will let you have your say, then it will be my turn" Linda began, "Randy, I know I screwed up big time. I let Luke get to me. He has always had some kind of power over me. He talked about old times, and old feelings, and convinced me that he still had a thing for me. I still resisted, explaining to him that I was married, and how much I loved you." She was crying now, and took a minute to compose herself, then went on. "He was persistent, and told me how much he had missed me all these years. I have to admit that I have always been very attracted to Luke sexually, but I thought of you and how much you meant to me. Finally he said that he wanted to just have one last moment with me. He said we needed to get it out of our systems, and that would be it. He wouldn't bother me anymore." She stopped to see my reaction, but I sat listening without much emotion, so she continued. "He kissed me, and it brought back a lot of emotions and memories. I knew it was wrong, but I gave in and agreed to a one time meeting, which is where you caught us. Randy, it was only that one time, and there was not going to be anymore meetings. I am so sorry, but I will do anything to make up for it. I ask that you to forgive me, and let's stay together." I sat and looked at her a moment, then said, "so you're telling me that last Friday was the only time you two had sex since he came to town?" With tears in her eyes, Linda said, "Yes baby, that was it, and I never should have let it happen. I let things go to far, and I deeply regret it. I am so sorry. Please, give me a second chance here. I promise it will never happen again." I got up and walked over to the table, pick up the envelope, and sat back down. Linda gave me a concerned look. "Linda, tell me more about last Thursday night when you went to that business dinner. I know Luke was there. Did you have any intimate contact with Luke that night?" "No, of course not. We talked, but it was mostly with our clients. We all had dinner, some wine, and talked business for quite awhile, which is why I got in so late." "Yes, you came home, immediately took a long shower, then would have nothing to do with me," I said. "I'm sorry honey, I was just so tired I needed to get some sleep." "Time and again I voiced my concerns about Luke and his intentions," I said. "You kept blowing me off, telling me it was nothing. When you informed me about last Thursday night's meeting, and how Luke would be there, I got a very bad feeling about the whole thing." I continued, "I decided to hire a PI to find out exactly what took place. If Luke tried to put a move on you, then I could confront him with evidence. Of course I found out a whole lot more." Linda got this horrified look on her face as I opened the envelope. I handed her the pictures of her by herself with Luke. They were dated, and time stamped. Then I handed her the pictures of them at the car. There was a good picture of them kissing with Luke's hand inside her panties. Linda almost fainted. Then I handed her the picture of Luke sitting in the backseat with his pants down. Another showed her next to him with her panties being pulled down. Then another with her straddling his dick as he is closing the door. The last one was shot through the window, and clearly showed her them fucking. "I have evidence that you fucked him at least twice, plus you lied to me about Thursday night. I think you should leave Linda. No more excuses, no more lies, just get the hell out" Linda stood up and grabbed her stuff. She walked towards the door, then turned and said, "I know you don't believe me, but I did not intend for this to happen, and I deeply regret all the pain I have caused you. I love with all my heart, and would do anything to change what has happened." She really did look sincere, and for a brief moment, I wanted to run take her in my arms. It was a very brief moment, and I could not be married to someone I cannot trust. "I'm sorry too Linda, sorry because we had such a great life going until that asshole came to town. We would have made great parents." Linda said, "Please think before you do anything. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I will quit my job and devote myself to being the best wife to you for the rest of my life." She walked out, and it suddenly felt very quiet and lonely in the house. Monday morning I met with Susan and gave her the cell phone video. I told her to serve Linda at work as soon as possible. Susan promised Linda would be served Tuesday afternoon. She also said she could pull some strings and get us before a judge in about three weeks. Linda tried calling several times but I didn't answer. She left a message that she was staying with a friend of hers. Over the next three weeks I worked and packed. As soon as we signed the papers, I was selling the house. I also was still recovering from my injuries. The court appearance finally came, and Susan was awesome. I'm sure glad she wasn't representing Linda. Susan presented our petition on the grounds of adultery. However, we were willing to split everything 50/50. There would be no alimony. Since we both worked. The judge thought it was a very fair offer considering the circumstances. He asked Linda's lawyer for a response. That jerk got up and started demanding the house, alimony, and all kinds of things. Susan stood up and responded back, "My client has made a very fair offer under trying circumstances. You either accept the offer, or we are going to submit for public record pictures, videos, and detailed reports of Mrs. Burn's having sex with Mr. Luke Johnson. We will also file suit on the company Mrs. Burns and Mr. Johnson works for, showing their failure to control deviant sexual behavior of employees on the job. Furthermore, we will file suit against Mr. Johnson for Alienation of Affection. Now let me ask you again, do you accept our terms for divorce?" Linda's lawyer had practically crawled under the table. Linda said, "Give me papers, I will sign and accept your conditions." I signed the papers. Susan then informed Linda that she would receive a check for her half in the next couple of days. It would amount to about $75,000 a piece including what was in each checking account now. As soon as the house sold, she would get half of the profit. And so it was done. In 60 days the divorce would be final. I went home and immediately put the house up for sale. I also began looking for a new home. A couple of weeks went by and I had pretty much healed from my injuries. We also had a contract on the house. We would both collect about $20,000 on that. I found a nice little two bedroom house on the lake for rent. It had a nice deck, a hot tub, and a boat slip. Of course I had no boat, but who knows. I heard through the grapevine that Linda had moved in with Luke. Well, so be it. I decided to make some changes in my life. I changed my eating habits, and joined a fitness center. I was going to lose weight, and tone up my body. I started working out five days a week after work. It was part of my plan. After I had been working out for a few weeks, I noticed a flyer on the fitness center bulletin board for a karate class starting the following week. I went by and signed up. I also bought my Gi, or uniform. I looked good in it. It was part of my plan. My karate class was such that I could go to the fitness center after work, then run home to eat and change, then to karate. They were all pretty close together. I went to my first class excited and eager to learn. Our sensei, or teacher, was a woman. We started with some stretching and exercises. I noticed that a very attractive lady had lined up next to me. She was probably just a couple of years younger than me, but she was so beautiful. I thought, she is probably married with kids. I did not see a ring though. The sensei then asked us to find a partner that we would practice with through the duration of the class. I was surprised when this beautiful lady immediately turned and asked to be partners. I know I said yes, but I'm not sure how it came out. I was so surprised she asked me. She laughed, and we made our formal introduction. Her name was Julie. After class she said thanks for being her partner, and goodbye. I just said goodbye. I kicked myself for not saying more. It had been a long time since I flirted with anyone other than Linda. I vowed to talk more next time. After class the next night we did talk a little, then we parted. I was better, but I decided that I would ask her to go get a drink after the Thursday class. Thursday is almost the weekend. I did, and she accepted. I asked first if she was married, or attached, and she said no. We went to a little wine bar, had a couple of glasses of wine, and talked for quite awhile. She told me she had divorced about six months ago. She caught her husband fucking his secretary. They were trying to reconcile when the secretary came up pregnant. She divorced him, and took him to the cleaners. I told her my story, which almost made me break down. It had been awhile since I had thought about it, and it brought back some pain. Julie kissed my hand, and gave me a hug. "I know what you're going through Randy," she said. Come to find out, we both had Susan representing us. We got a big laugh out of that, and both agreed she was awesome. Before we parted, I asked her for a date this weekend. She couldn't because she promised to go visit her parents, but suggested that the next weekend would work. I quickly agreed, and we set our date. Our date the following weekend was outstanding. We had dinner, then went to a Jazz club for drinks and dancing. I kissed her a few times, but told her I would take it as slow and easy as she wanted. She was impressed by what a gentleman I was. She was also impressed that I graduated from MIT. Over the next few weeks we were together a lot, either on dates, or just at each other's house. In the meantime, my divorce became final. After about five weeks of dating, we made love for the first time. To say it was incredible is an understatement. She brought me to heights I never knew I could reach. She said I did the same for her. We fell head over heals in love with each other. One night after karate, and after I said goodbye to Julie, I drove to this bar where I had heard that Luke, his buddies, and Linda hung out several nights a week. I walked in, and sure enough they were sitting at a table drinking, laughing, and carrying on. At least they guys were, Linda didn't look too excited. I walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. I started talking to Joe, the owner, when Linda noticed me. I looked at her, and I saw a smile on her face. I nodded, smiled, and went back to Joe, and my beer. Luke noticed Linda looking my way. He turned and saw me, then headed my way. He was laughing, and kept looking back at his buddies for encouragement, which they gave. He stood behind me and said, "Well, well well. If it ain't the little wimpy pussy whose wife I fucked, then beat the shit out of him. Hey wimp, you're ex wife is with a real man now." He turned around, grabbed his crotch, made a couple of pelvic thrust, laughed, then turned back. I looked a Linda, and could tell she was embarrassed, but also ashamed of what she did to me. Luke continued, "I noticed you didn't file charges on me. Were you afraid I would come back and kick your wimpy ass again?" The laughing continued, then he stopped. "I don't like wimpy little bastards that can't satisfy their wife in the same bar as me. So you just tuck your feathers between your legs and get out of this bar." Joe started to say something but I told him it was ok. I threw some money on the bar, and started walking towards the door. Luke started dancing like a chicken, and said, "That's it wimp, run away. I'm going to give your ex-wife a real good fuck tonight. Something she never got from you." Linda started crying and ran to the bathroom. I left the bar smiling. It was all part of my plan. Over the next several months I worked hard, both at the fitness center, and in my karate class. I was becoming a very fit, and very lean, fighting machine. Julie was getting pretty good with her karate also, plus she looked fantastic. She decided to move in with me at the lake house, and sell hers. We pretty much knew we would eventually get married, we were just taking it slow. The sex was frequent, and it was great. We moved up from the beginning class, and worked hard to move up in belts. We were both now a green belt, working towards blue. After we got our blue belts, I figured it was time to revisit Luke, at the bar. Julie and I walked into the bar, and sure enough Luke and company were there. I noticed something different. Whereas I had been working out, and training in karate, Luke had been sitting on his ass drinking beer. He was a fat ass, and had lost all his muscle tone. In fact, he looked like an overweight piece of shit. Linda had gained weight too. She was not near as attractive as she used to be. I walked up to Joe, and whispered in his ear. He grinned, nodded, and handed me what I asked for. He poured us a couple of beers, and Julie and I sat down. When Linda looked over and saw me, her jaw dropped. I saw her say the words, "Oh my God." I had worn a very tight fitting T shirt, along with tight fitting jeans. It all showed off my muscles, and my new physique. I had on flip flops, because I figured I might need use of my feet. Julie and I sat down and started sipping our beer. Linda kept staring as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Luke noticed, and turned around. He stood up, and started laughing, just like before. "Well boys, it looks like the little wimpy bastard has come back where he is not welcome. HEY WIMP, didn't I tell you not to come here a anymore?" He walked over to our table, but stopped in front of Julie. "I do believe the little wimp has himself a new girlfriend. Looks like I may have to whip your ass again, and show this little lady what it's like to have a real man." Luke put his arm around Julie. She jerked back, and I jumped in his face. "Touch her again, and I will break your arm," I said. Luke looked at me with a confused look, then regained his composure and said, "Hey Randy man, I satisfied your ex-wife, I'm sure I can satisfy your girlfriend." I prepared myself for battle. I got into my defensive position, because I knew exactly what Luke would do. I took off my flip flops and concentrated on his right fist. Karate teaches you to exploit an opponent's weakness, and ignore the size. You are taught to remain calm, and focused. I was. Luke looked at me and laughed. I concentrated on his right hand. Sure enough here it came. He tried that quick sucker punch again. I was ready. What happened next was so fast even I couldn't believe it. I had practiced this move many times, but when it came, even I was amazed. Luke's right fist came at my head. I moved my head back to dodge the blow. My right hand caught his right wrist and pulled it down, using the momentum of his punch in my favor. I then placed my left hand on his elbow to bring his arm down. At the same time, my knee and leg were coming up. I felt his arm break over my knee. Luke screamed, and went down. I wasn't done with Luke yet. Luke had just dropped to his knees when I connected with a side kick to the face. It is called Yoko Geri. I used the blade of my foot with my toes pointed down. Luke was now officially out of commission. As soon as Luke hit the ground I noticed one of his buddies coming at me from behind. My next move is called Ura Mawashi Geri, or reverse round house. He never knew what hit him it was so quick. As I checked to see if either of those two were going to get up, the last buddy was coming at me with a chair. He too was trying to attack from behind. As I turned to take the blow of the chair, I saw Julie's foot connect to his jaw. He dropped like a sack of potatoes. We stood side by side in our defensive stance, daring anyone to get up . No one did. Joe walked over and unlocked the door. The patrons in the bar stood and applauded. Julie and I relaxed, then bowed to each, then I gave her a high five. It was all part of the plan. Linda walked over, looked down at Luke, then said, "Luke you wimpy little bastard, I am leaving you. I am going to go get my things and move out. Don't come looking for me or I will sic my ex-husband on you." Then Linda looked at me and said, "Randy, I know I have said this a lot, but I am truly sorry for what I did to you. You didn't deserve it, and I don't blame you for divorcing me. I did deserve it." Then she introduced herself to Julie and they shook hands. Linda smiled at Julie and said, "Honey, you have a remarkable man there. Take good care of him and treat him well. Don't blow it like I did." Julie replied, "Yes I know. He is something special, and I don't plan on ever losing him." We both gave Linda a hug and wished her well. Then she left the bar. Joe walked over to Luke and his buddies. He told them to get Luke to the hospital, and never come in his bar again. He also said that if they had any ideas about calling the police, to forget it. There were plenty of witnesses who saw that Luke had started the fight, and Randy acted in self-defense. I never saw Luke and his friends again. Linda quit her job and moved away. She got a better job in another city. She emails me periodically just to find out how I'm doing. I never read or send an email to Linda without Julie seeing them first. Linda eventually married a science teacher whose previous wife was killed in a car wreck. By the time they married, Linda was a little too old to have kids. She became a mother to his two children, and loves them very much. They adore her. Julie and I were married about two months after the bar fight. I was asked to head up this startup company that manufactures high end electrical components for the airline industry. They offered me a great salary, plus a lot of stock. The company grew under my leadership, and eventually went public. I am now worth about 20 million. We moved out of our little rent house, but built a much bigger house on a huge lake lot we bought. It has a huge back deck, a pool, hot tub, and four boat slips. We have two boats and two sea-doos. We also had two kids. A boy first, then a girl. Julie does not have to work, and enjoys her job as wife and mother. We love each other more everyday. We really are one big happy family. I guess you could say, "It Was All Part of My Plan."
