The EPT Test

By: DG Hear



Thank you to Mr. Wolf for editing this story on such short notice and making it a much better read. 

*

I know most of us have regrets in life and like me often think about them but know there is nothing we can do about them. My life is filled with good and bad times. I often wonder which outweigh the other.

I had a great childhood, three sisters and two brothers. Sure we fought a lot but that's what siblings do. High school was ok but nothing special for me. I changed schools a couple of times so never got involved in extracurricular activities.

I started college and met a girl my freshman year. She got pregnant and we both dropped out of college and got married. She was three years older than me but was only going to college part time. She lived with one of her girlfriends; they shared an apartment and both had jobs as waitresses. Her family was even larger than mine; she had three brothers and three sisters.

Life really wasn't that bad. My dad got me a job at the auto factory and it paid good money. One of my sisters had apartments that they rented out so we had a place to live at a reasonable price.

I worked the afternoon shift at the factory so I saw Shannon, my wife, during the day. She usually waited up for me till I came home unless I worked over, which I did quite often. The money was too good to pass up; I had a family to support.

I worked all the overtime I could get and worked most weekends. I was glad that Shannon had a lot of family around because I didn't want her to be alone all the time. We did our best to do things together when I wasn't working. We were lucky and after a few years were eventually able to buy a home. Shannon's parents helped us with the down payment.

****

One thing we did a lot was make love. Shannon rarely denied me. We had three kids in five years. After the last one I had a vasectomy. Shannon and I both decided that three kids were enough. We had two girls, Cindy and Chris, and a son we named Jimmy.

Shannon went to college on line from a local University. Some classes she did attend and her mother watched the kids. Shannon was bound and determined to get her degree. When our son, Jimmy turned five Shannon had received her degree in Business Management. She said she was going to look for a part-time job since all the kids were in school.

We argued about it a little but Shannon was right; she spent the last ten years of her life changing diapers and being home with the kids. She wanted to be around some adults once in a while.

I was an ok father and did help watch the kids when I was home. I spent most of my time working and trying to provide for my family. I remembered that I hardly did much with my dad while growing up. He was always working too. I guess I developed that trait.

Shannon did get a part-time job at a real estate and insurance agency. It was a decent sized firm with over thirty employees. She was a secretary that answered the phones and did some of the accounting work. She said she loved her job.

They worked with her so that she was always there for the kids to help them off to school. Her mom would come over when the kids returned home from school. Shannon would be home usually by five o'clock or so. She started out working three days a week, but eventually worked five.

It was working out quite well. I would get up early so I could at least see the kids before they were off to school. Shannon wasn't waiting up for me most nights since she started working. Maybe once a week we did get together to make love.

On weekends when I didn't work, which wasn't very often, we would take the kids somewhere so we could be a family for the day. We went to the aquarium, zoo, amusement parks, movies or to other local events. I really loved Shannon and the kids.

Most guys at work would go to the bar for drinks after getting off of work but I always came home. I wanted to see my family in the morning even when I finished at three in the morning. I would often go lay back down after Shannon left for work but I tried to do what was right.

During the holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Years I did get some days off. We spent them shopping and visiting family. One particular weekend Shannon asked me to go to her company Christmas party. It was a weekend that I had a chance to work. We had gone to my company Christmas party the week before so when I told Shannon I had to work during hers, she got mad at me.

She said she was going anyway and her mom would watch the kids. I told her I didn't want her drinking and driving. She was somewhat of a happy drunk but I didn't want her on the road. The party was being held at the Ramada Inn, which was about thirty miles away. She said she and her friend Anna were getting a room for the night, so they could have a good time and not drive anywhere.

Again she told me to call off work and I could share the room with her and Anna could find her own room. I told her we could use the money and I wasn't calling off work. Needless to say she was pissed at me.

I hadn't met many of the people that Shannon worked with. She had only worked there since September. I had met Anna though when she came by to pick Shannon up for work a couple of times. It was when Shannon needed her car repaired and Anna offered to give her a ride to work.

Anna was a good looking woman who had been divorced a couple of years. She didn't have any kids and she seemed quite nice. She and Shannon became good friends. I remember thinking when I saw her, "I'd do her", but most guys always thought like that.

I've seen a lot of women that I wouldn't mind having sex with but I would never cheat on Shannon. I'd only been with a couple of women before meeting Shannon so my sexual history was pretty limited.

Shannon never talked about her past boyfriends but I know she wasn't a virgin when we were first together. One of her sisters kind of let it slip out saying, "He's cute, have you slept with him yet?" I knew it embarrassed Shannon but I could kind of read between the lines.

On Saturday, the day of her Christmas party, I kissed her and apologized again for having to work. She wasn't very happy with me as I left for work. She said she would be home before noon the next morning.

I went to work and had to work over. I called my mother and told her I would pick the kids up in the morning. There was no reason to wake the kids in the middle of the night.

After getting home, I went straight to bed; boy was I tired. I woke up Sunday around ten o'clock and quickly got dressed and went to pick up the kids at their grandmother's house. They were eating breakfast and she asked me if I would like some pancakes.

Needless to say I hadn't eaten and ate some eggs and pancakes. I thanked my mother for watching the kids. She really liked the kids and said it was never a problem to watch them.

When we arrived back at the house Shannon was home. She hugged all the kids but was a bit distant with me. I figured she was still a bit mad at me. I did ask her how the party went and she said it was fine. She got tired of telling everyone why her husband didn't come.

Again I apologized but I figured she was just throwing digs my way. She said she had a lot of dance partners and really enjoyed herself. I asked her if she drank too much and she told me she limited her drinking since I wasn't there to protect her and she had to drive home this morning.

That was about all she said about the party. She seemed to stay mad for a couple of days, then things were pretty much back to normal. Wednesday night she had waited up for me and we had sex. I couldn't believe that she initiated it. After I got out of the shower and into bed she began to rub my cock through my briefs.

She pulled down my briefs and began to give me oral sex. This was fairly rare to get oral sex from Shannon. Usually it didn't happen unless she had drunk too much. She sat up and pulled up her nightgown; she wasn't wearing any panties.

I watched her get up and lower herself onto my cock. Damn! It felt so good. As she was riding my cock I reached up and slid my hands under her nightgown and rubbed her tits. I lasted all of five minutes before coming hard and shooting my load deep into her pussy. I knew she was having an orgasm by her actions and the pulsating of her pussy.

After coming she lay on my chest. I asked her what brought that on, I wasn't complaining and that it was a great surprise. She told me that she felt that she was a little hard on me for the past week. She understood I worked to provide for the family. It was her way of saying, "I'm sorry".

Life was rather normal for the next couple of months. We made it through the Christmas and New Year's holidays. For New Year's we went to her sister's house. She was having a party and we even took the kids. Sue, her sister had the downstairs set up so the kids could have their own little party. Needless to say there was adult supervision.

Shannon got a little drunk but it was alright seeing it was all family. I just had a few beers knowing I had to drive home afterwards. As I mentioned, Shannon was a happy drunk and after the kids went to bed we locked our bedroom door and made love.

This time I started by eating her pussy. She actually had a really nice pink pussy. I spread her lips and shove my tongue in as deep as I could. My whole face was against her pussy. I was busy licking and sucking for all I was worth. She held on to my head and pushed against my face. I knew she had an orgasm and my tongue felt her juices flowing.

By then I was as hard as a rock. She spread her legs and I pushed my cock to the hilt into her pussy. "Oh God, I love it," she was saying. "Fuck me Honey, fuck me hard and deep. It feels so good."

After I came and pulled my cock out of her, she kissed me and told me she loved me. We both turned over and went to sleep. I remember thinking that I should get her drunk more often. Sex with her was always good but she let herself go a little more when she had been drinking.

It was now February and we decided we would go out for Valentine's Day. I told her we could celebrate it on Saturday. She was happy about it and I asked her if she wanted to have another couple with us. We found out a long time ago that it was more fun and gave us someone else to talk with.

She said she would ask Anna if she wanted to go out with us. Shannon mentioned that Anna recently began dating a new guy that she met at a Christmas party. He worked in the actuarial department at the office.

I asked Shannon's mother if she would watch our kids and there was no problem there. Anna got back to Shannon and said she and her boyfriend Ryan would love to go. They left the plans up to me but gave me Ryan's phone number to coordinate any plans I may have.

I decided to really do it up big time. We would be going to the Sheraton Inn. I contacted Ryan and made sure he wouldn't mind spending the extra money for a room. He told me whatever I wanted to set up was fine. He really liked Anna and was hoping there might be a future for them.

We would be having dinner and drinks. They also had a lounge where dancing was permitted. All I could think about is getting Shannon a little drunk and having a wonderful night of sex with her.

During the week I ordered two bouquets of flowers and two boxes of candy. I was going all out for Valentine's Day. The flowers and candy would both be placed in our hotel rooms to surprise the girls. I was really getting excited over the whole idea. I haven't gone this far out of the way for Shannon for years. I wanted to show her how much I loved and cared for her.

On Thursday Shannon seemed a little off but maybe I was just pumped up.

I asked her if there was something wrong and she told me that she was just a bit tired and didn't sleep well that night. She left for work and I made sure all our plans were ready for Saturday.

Friday was our garbage pickup day and I usually got up and put the garbage out. A few times I put it out the night before and the dogs would get into it ripping open the bags.

I called Shannon to let her know I would be working over. When I got home Thursday night I noticed that Shannon had already put the garbage out. I thought it was nice of her because I wouldn't have to get up early and put it out. I just hoped the animals didn't get into it.

She didn't wake me in the morning and when I woke up the kids had already left for school and Shannon had left for work. I looked out the front door and notice two dogs rummaging through our garbage bag. I opened the door and yelled at them and they ran off leaving a busted bag.

I got another garbage bag and put the bulk of the torn bag into it. I then began picking up the garbage left on the ground. I was surprised when I came across two early pregnancy test kits. Why would we have them in our garbage? I looked at them and they both read positive for pregnancy.

I was actually confused. Shannon wouldn't need a test kit because I had a vasectomy. I wasn't sure what to do or how to handle it. I figured the best thing would be to just ask Shannon. Surely there was an easy explanation. I went to work that day and needless to say it bothered me all day. I decided not to show them to Shannon till Sunday morning. 

The worst that could happen is her asking me why I didn't show her earlier so she could explain. Now I wondered about Anna and Ryan. Did they meet at the company Christmas party? My head was swimming with what might have happened. Surely Shannon didn't cheat on me.

The one thing about not knowing is that we have a tendency to think the worst. Our marriage might not have been perfect but it was a lot better than a lot of others we knew of.

On Saturday I tried to act normal but it wasn't easy. I tried to keep busy and even played with the kids. I took them over to Shannon's mother's house and told her we would see her the next day.

When I got back home Shannon had just gotten out of the shower and had slipped on her red panties. I went up to her and put my arms around her and even rubbed her belly. She felt so soft and smooth. I had to wonder if there was a baby in there.

"Honey, we can't do this now," thinking I wanted to make love. "There'll be plenty of time for that tonight." She smiled at me and started to get dressed.

She put on this beautiful low cut red dress that she had bought for the occasion. I have to say she looked really sexy. Earlier she had made an appointment to have her hair done. She was one beautiful woman.

I wanted to blurt out, "Look what I found in the trash," but was afraid of what the answer might be. I wish I would have done that. I read stories all the time and life doesn't happen like they do in a lot of these stories. Decision making isn't that easy, at least for me. I can't tell you how much keeping this secret bothered me.

I went ahead and got dressed in my only suit. For all I knew this might be our last night together if what I was thinking was true. If she got pregnant by another man I know I couldn't live with her no matter how much I loved her. I had put the two test strips in a plastic bag and actually put them in my jacket pocket. Why I took them with me, I don't know.

I did my best to not think about it. I really wanted to have a good time with my wife tonight but my mind wouldn't let me. We met Anna and Ryan at the hotel restaurant. Anna looked beautiful and seemed happy. Ryan seemed like an all right guy. I shook his hand and we all sat down and ordered drinks.

I wasn't talking much but doing a lot of listening. Anna and Shannon did most of the talking. That's why you like to go out with another couple. Shannon kept looking at me but not saying much to me. I was probably acting a bit strange; Shannon knew me better than I knew myself.

I butted in the conversation. "Ryan, do you work with Shannon and Anna?"

"Yes, I work in the actuarial department," he replied.

"Did you make it to the Christmas party last December?" I asked.

He smiled, "Yes I did. It's when Anna and I became close friends. I've know her for awhile but we became better friends at the Christmas party. Too bad you had to work, we had a great time." I looked over at Shannon and she looked away.

We ordered dinner and I was doing my best to act like I was having a good time but thinking about Shannon at her Christmas party was upsetting my stomach a little. After dinner we went into the lounge. The girls went to the restroom. Another reason to go with another couple, women can't go to the restroom alone.

After they walked away Ryan handed me the money for the flowers and candy. I reminded him that they were put in their room. It should be a nice surprise. As far as the room was concerned, Ryan put his on his credit card. We each paid for our own dinner and took turns buying drinks.

"Ryan, I need to ask you something personal. I hope you don't mind. It's about the Christmas party."

"Go ahead, what do you want to know?" asked Ryan.

"Did Anna spend the night with you that night?"

"Damn, Gary! I don't think it's any of your business but yes we spent the night together," replied Ryan.

About that time the girls returned from the restroom and sat down. I looked at Shannon and she asked, "Gary, what's gotten into you? You've been acting funny all night. Did I do something to upset you?"

Anna and Ryan were staring at us. I had to wonder if they were all in it together. Did they all know about Shannon cheating on me? I reached into my pocket and set the baggie with the two test strips on the table and stared at Shannon.

"My God, did you go through our garbage?" said Shannon loudly.

"Who's the fucking father?" I blurted out.

Shannon had a look on her face that I couldn't read. "Gary, we'll talk about this later. Please, not now." She looked over at Anna and Ryan. I knew she was embarrassed.

"No, I want to know right now; if you even know." I said and regretted it the minute it came out. Shannon started crying.

"Why would you even go in the garbage anyway, you stupid asshole," said Shannon crying.

"The damn dogs went in our trash. All I did was clean up the mess and came across your test results, you fucking slut. I can't believe you did this to our marriage."

"Stop it! Stop it right now," screamed Anna. "You want to know who the father is? It's Ryan! Yes, they were my tests not Shannon's. I stopped by after work and told her I thought I might be pregnant and brought the test kit with me."

"You're pregnant with our child?" asked Ryan. "When were you going to tell me?"

"Tonight, in our room. I thought I would surprise you and we could discuss what to do, but unfortunately we didn't get that far. Gary, you're an asshole. Shannon would never cheat on you but you didn't have the decency to even ask her in private. She should have at least deserved that."

God, I was a mess. What the hell did I just do? I called my wife, the love of my life, a cheating whore. She got up crying and headed back to the restroom; Anna got up and went after her. I apologized to Ryan.

"It's not me you should be apologizing to. Just so you know. A lot of guys hit on Shannon and Anna but both of them know how to say 'No'. What little I know of Shannon, she loves you and has never cheated on you. That's what Anna has told me. The night of the Christmas party she could have easily had a bed partner, but didn't."

"She asked Anna and me to walk her to her room since she was alone. We did and after she closed the door Anna and I went to my room where we made love. We met up with Shannon the next morning for breakfast where she thanked us for watching over her. You've got a good woman there."

I was totally embarrassed. I told Ryan to let the girls know that I was going up to my room. I went inside and saw the flowers and candy setting there to surprise Shannon. I sat on the bed and cried; yes, men cry. I had made a horrible mistake and didn't know if Shannon would forgive me.


The EPT Test: Aftermath



To the readers: I wrote two stories about the EPT test and received a flood of comments on both stories which ended with two different scenarios. After much pushing and shoving I decided to write Shannon's side of the story and what happened after the divorce. If you haven't read either of the other two stories, that's ok. This is a stand alone story.

Again I would like to thank Mr. Wolf for making this a better read.

Chapter 1

I'm Shannon and I cheated on my husband and paid a much higher price than you could ever imagine. It wasn't really planned, no matter what you think. I was mad at Gary for not going to my Christmas party and drank a little too much. I was hit on by a number of men and I do have to say it made me feel sexy.

I received a number of comments about how good I looked and that no husband in his right mind would let a woman who looked as sexy as I did go to a party alone. It made me feel good about myself and more angry with my husband who chose to go to work instead of coming with me.

I'll admit I flirted but felt it was harmless. One of the partners in the firm was spending more time with me and I felt good that I was still able to attract a good looking man. The only problem was Ed was a married man. He had two kids and his wife was pregnant with his third child. She didn't want to attend the party.

I came to the party with my friend Anna and we were to share a room. She met up with Ryan, a man she liked. They were both divorced and decided to hook up for the night. So after the party I got up to go to my room but was a bit wobbly. Ed laughed and told me he would walk me to my room.

When I let him in my room I knew it was wrong but I was also mad at my husband for not coming to the party. This is when Gary and I would have made love but he wasn't there. 

Ed kept telling me how nice I looked; I was drunk and took it all in. He said he loved his wife and family but hadn't made love to her in weeks due to her pregnancy. I don't know why I did it but I let him kiss me. It was nothing like kissing Gary. It was just a kiss but he went further and rubbed my boobs.

I told him, "No" that I was married but I didn't stop him. He continued to rub me and put his hand on my leg and pushed it up my thigh and on to my pussy. I knew it was wrong but it did feel good. I convinced myself that it was Gary's fault for not being there.

I let Ed have sex with me. All I thought about was getting even with Gary for not being there. There was no love between Ed and I, it really was just sex and not all that good either. When we finished Ed apologized profusely, saying how sorry he was and wished it hadn't happened.

I told him to just leave and it would be our secret but it would never happen again. That's when it really hit me what I had done. For the only time in our marriage I had sex with another man other than my husband. I didn't love the man and I guess it was some sort of revenge against Gary.

I fell asleep thinking about what I had done. I cried and promised myself that it would never happen again. I would always be faithful to my husband. I wasn't worried about Ed saying anything since he was also ashamed as well as married with a pregnant wife and two kids at the time. What would happen if someone found out he had sex with one of his employees? I wasn't worried about him ever telling anyone.

I met my friends Anna and Ryan the next morning. They asked me how I slept and I lied and told them I fell right to sleep. I asked them how they slept and they both smiled; enough said.

I felt the mistake I made was over and done and promised myself to put it out of my mind. When I got home, Gary and the kids weren't there yet. He left me a note that he went to pick them up the kids at my Mom's. I was kind of glad because I had to try and act normal and wasn't sure if I could do it when I first saw Gary.

The kids came in the door first and yelled, "Mommy!" I hugged them and gave them kisses. I then looked at Gary. He did ask me how the party went and I told him it was fine although I got tired of explaining to everyone why my husband hadn't come.

Again he apologized but I tried to get it out of my mind. If he knew the truth I should be on my knees begging his forgiveness for what I had done. 

When he asked me about dancing I told him I had a lot of dance partners and really enjoyed myself. He asked me if I drank too much and I told him I limited my drinking since he wasn't there to protect me and I had to drive home this morning.

That was all he asked about the party. The next couple of days were hard for me. When I saw Ed at work he called me into his office and apologized again. He said we both had too much to drink and made a mistake. He was very sorry and hoped that I would be discreet about it.

I told him I was sorry it happened and we both agreed it would never happen again. I left his office hoping it was all behind us. On Wednesday night I waited up for Gary to come home.

I decided to initiate making love to my husband. After he got out of the shower and into bed I began to rub his cock through his briefs. I pulled down his briefs and began to give him oral sex. This wasn't something I did very often but knew Gary loved it. Usually it didn't happen unless I had drunk too much. After getting him very hard I sat up and pulled up my nightgown; I wasn't wearing any panties.

I got up and lowered myself onto his cock. Damn! It felt so good. As I rode his cock he reached up and slid his hands under my nightgown and rubbed my tits. He lasted all of five minutes before coming hard and shooting his load deep into my pussy. I was having an orgasm as well as I felt my pussy pulsating around his cock.

After we both came I lay on his chest. He asked me what brought that on? He said he wasn't complaining and that it was a great surprise. I told him that I felt that I was a little hard on him for the past week. That I understood he worked hard to provide for the family. It was my way of saying, "I'm sorry". The thing is I truly was sorry. Not for going to the party but for cheating on my wonderful husband.

Life was rather normal for the next couple of months. We made it through the holidays. For New Year's we went to my sister Beth's house. She was having a party. My mom agreed to watch the kids again. 

I was drinking but wasn't afraid seeing it was all family and Gary said he would only drink a few beers knowing he had to drive home afterwards. Gary didn't mind me drinking because he knew it lowered my resolve and we would be having some good sex afterwards.

After arriving home Gary took the lead and started by eating my pussy. He always told me how pretty my pussy was. He spread my pussy lips and shoved his tongue in as deep as he could. His whole face was against my pussy, busy licking and sucking for all he was worth. I had an orgasm and felt my juices flowing.

By then he was as hard as a rock. I spread my legs and he pushed his cock to the hilt into my pussy. "Oh God, I love it," I was saying. "Fuck me Honey, fuck me hard and deep. It feels so good."

After he came and pulled his cock out of me, I kissed him and told him how much I loved him and meant it. We both turned over and went to sleep.

It was now February and we talked about going out for Valentine's Day. He said we could celebrate it on Saturday. I was happy about it and we decided to ask another couple to go with us. We found out a long time ago that it was more fun and gave us someone else to talk with.

I asked Anna if she wanted to go out with us. We had become close friends and Anna recently began dating Ryan who she met at a Christmas party. He worked in the actuarial department at the office.

Anna got back to me a couple of days later and said she and Ryan would love to go. They left the plans up to Gary since he told me he wanted to plan the whole evening. I gave him Ryan's phone number to coordinate any plans he may have.

Gary really did it up big which I found out later. We would be going to the Sheraton Inn. Gary did contact Ryan and made sure he wouldn't mind spending the extra money for a room. He said Ryan really liked Anna and was hoping there might be a future for them.

When Gary gets excited he sometimes has trouble holding a secret so he told me some of his plans. We would be having dinner and drinks. They also had a lounge where dancing was permitted. He even told me that all he could think about is getting me a little drunk and having his way with me. It made me laugh. I really loved him.

Gary went all out for Valentine's Day. As I found out later he ordered flowers and candy which would both be placed in our hotel rooms to surprise us girls.

As of late I was feeling a bit nervous. I hadn't had my period for the last two months. On the Thursday before we were to go out, I stopped at the drugstore on the way home and bought an early pregnancy test. I was shaking as I took the first test. I waited a minute and it came up positive.

I began to cry and took the second one hoping the first was in error. It showed positive also. I sat there and cried, my mind thinking a thousand different thoughts. What am I going to do! Right then I wanted to die. I knew I had to calm down and try to think logically.

Gary had a vasectomy after our son was born. I knew this pregnancy came from the one stupid moment I had with Ed. God must have been punishing me, I thought. I knew I couldn't have this baby. Much as I didn't want to do it, I knew I had to have an abortion.

I knew my husband well enough to know he would divorce me if he knew about the one time mistake. If I had told him about the my stupidity after it happened we might have been able to work through it. Now it was much too late and I had to keep it from him. 

My mom dropped the kids off and I made supper. Gary called shortly after and said he was working over which he did quite often. I told him I would take out the trash so he could sleep in in the morning. I buried the test strips in the trash and set the bags out.

I was somewhat numb on Friday but went through the motions. On Saturday when I looked at Gary I felt he could see right through me. He would stare at me but not really say anything. It was like he wanted to say something but didn't. He dropped the kids at my mom's while I was getting a shower and dressed to go out.

When he got back home I had just gotten out of the shower and had put on my red panties. He came up to me and put his arms around me and even rubbed my belly. It was like he knew something. My mind was thinking overtime.

"Honey, we can't do this now," I said, thinking he wanted to make love. "There'll be plenty of time for that tonight." 

I put on this beautiful low cut red dress that I had bought for the occasion. I wanted to look sexy for my husband. Earlier I had made an appointment to have my hair done. 

He kept staring at me as he got dressed. There was no way he could know anything. I finally couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Gary, what's the matter? Something has been bothering you all morning." 

He reached in his jacket pocket and pulled out the test strips. "I found these in the garbage yesterday. What are they doing in our garbage? Are you pregnant?" he asked loudly.

"Why would you even go in the garbage anyway?" I asked.

"The damn dogs went in our trash. All I did was clean up the mess and came across your test results; I can't believe you did this to our marriage."

I knew I had to say something so I lied again. "It isn't mine. The strips belong to Anna. Thursday night after work she stopped by and we talked about the dinner. Then, she told me she missed two periods. She had bought the test kit and it was in her car. I mentioned for her to go get it and take the test here. At least she would know."

"So, Anna's pregnant. Why two tests?" asked Gary.

"They come two in a package so a woman can be sure. After the first positive reading Anna went and took it a second time and then she threw the test strips in the trash."

"Please don't tell her I told you. I promised her I would keep it a secret. I don't want to embarrass her. She's not positive if Ryan is the father. She's trying to figure it out. I don't want to mess up their relationship."

Gary said, "I promise not to say anything. I wish you would have told me though, yesterday and today would have been much easier on me." 

"I didn't tell you because there wasn't any reason to. It isn't our business and I had no idea you found them in the trash. If you would have mentioned it then I would have told you just like I did. Now let's get going. I don't want to be late for dinner." 

I hated so much having to lie to him but felt our marriage depended on it. We met Ryan and Anna at the restaurant. I formally introduced Gary to Ryan. We all talked for awhile and I needed to talk to Anna. I got up and said I was going to the ladies room and Anna said she would come with me.

When we went into the restroom I told her I'd made a big mistake and needed her help. I hung my head down and told her I was pregnant She smiled at first and then I told her Gary had a vasectomy.

"What! What are you going to do?" she asked. "How can I help?"

I told her that Gary found the test strips and I lied and told him they belonged to her. She was mad at first but asked how that would solve anything. That's when I told her I was going to the clinic to end the pregnancy. She asked me who the father was, but I didn't tell her. I told her it was a one time, big mistake and that I loved Gary.

Reluctantly she agreed to go along with me. I did tell her that Gary wasn't going to say anything to Ryan and I apologized for making her part of my lie. After we calmed down we went back out and joined our men for dinner.

Dinner went well but I did notice that Gary kept looking at Anna. We did go to the lounge and had drinks and danced a little. Afterwards we went to our rooms. That's when I saw the beautiful flowers and box of chocolates Gary had bought me. Inside I hated myself more and more for what I had done. I decided I was going to give him all the sex he wanted that night. It was one of our best nights of sex ever.

He ate me out and I gave him oral sex also. I even let him have my ass, which was a real rarity. I hate anal sex but if Gary wanted it, he got it. I even talked dirty to him which I rarely did. There was nothing I wasn't going to do for him.

In the morning we got up and I called Anna's room. I told her I needed to talk to her. When I got there she told Ryan that she would meet him downstairs. I thanked her for helping me and asked one more favor of her. I asked her if she would go to the clinic with me. I would be telling Gary that I was going with her for the abortion.

She was mad and aggravated with me but told me this was the last time she would do anything like this for me again. She told me she loved Ryan and they were planning on being together and she didn't want to ruin it.

I promised her that this was it. It would be all over and never mentioned again. We went downstairs for breakfast with the guys. I just ate a roll and coffee, I wasn't feeling the best. We thanked them for going out with us. After they left Gary and I headed for home also. Once in the car I told Gary I needed to tell him something. It was about Anna's baby.

"Gary, Anna told me yesterday that the baby isn't Ryan's. This morning she said she really cared for Ryan and wasn't going to tell him. She is going to have an abortion."

"Doesn't Ryan deserve to know his girlfriend is about to have an abortion. I know I would want to know if it was me."

"It's not our decision to make. Ryan has two kids from a previous marriage and had told Anna he wasn't interested in more kids. She doesn't want to lose him. I believe she loves him." This was really true. Ryan really didn't want more kids.

"If she loves him then she should tell him the truth. Hiding this from him isn't right. Especially if it happened before they were together as a couple," replied Gary.

"It happened a few days before they were together at the Christmas party. It was with her ex-husband and she doesn't want the baby. She admits it was a mistake and wants to put it all behind her."

"So why are you telling me all of this? Did you tell her you told me?"

"I told her I've always told you the truth and I don't lie to you. All she asks is that you don't mention it to Ryan."

"Is that it?" Gary asked.

"There's more. Next Friday she wants me to go to the Planned Parenthood Clinic with her. We will go Friday, spend the night at a motel and come back Saturday. I told her I would go with her. Gary, she's my friend and I have to stand by her decision."

"Who's going to watch the kids? I have to work Friday and maybe Saturday."

"I'll tell Mom that Anna and I have to attend a one day seminar in Cleveland; she'll understand."

"Just so you know, I'm against this but I won't mention it to Ryan. I'm not for ending the life of a kid." I wondered if he would feel the same if he knew the truth. I had to hold back crying.

On Thursday night after coming home from work Gary wanted to initiate sex but I told him I wasn't feeling that well. Besides I had to get up early and take Anna to Cleveland.

I was nervous, sick and tired all rolled up into one. I kissed Gary and told him I would see him the next day. Anna and I arrived early in Cleveland at the health center. I was taken in and prepped while Anna stayed in the waiting room. I felt so awful and just wanted it over with.

After the procedure I was lead to the waiting room to meet Anna. As I got close to the door I heard what seemed to be arguing. Oh my God! Gary was here arguing with Anna. I stayed back before walking through the door.

"She loves you Gary. She's loves you more than anyone. She made a mistake and didn't want it to ruin your marriage," I heard Anna say.

"A little late for that. Tell her I was here and I'm now going home and getting a lawyer," replied Gary.

"You can't do that to her; she loves you!" cried Anna.

"She should have thought about that before fucking some guy and then our marriage," I could tell Gary was furious.

Anna kept pleading with him; it was then that I walked through the door; I really felt sick and started crying.

"Oh God no! Gary, I'm so sorry. I made a mistake, that's all it was. Please believe me, I love you."

"You lied to me, time and time again. If you would have told me when you made your so called mistake, we may have been able to work it out. I'm not saying we would have but I will tell you there is no way in hell I can forgive you now.

"I'm leaving to go home and see a lawyer. This marriage is over." He turned and walked out the door.

I cried and Anna held me. Gary walked out the door got in his car and never looked back. I sat down for a few minutes. After I got a little energy, Anna walked me to the car. I was told that I shouldn't drive any long distance for a day. That is why we got a room for the night.

Anna and I talked about how I screwed up my life and had more than likely

lost Gary. I cried myself to sleep knowing I had to face Gary the following day.

When Anna dropped me off at the house Gary was waiting for me. Our little talk began. "What can I do or say that could change your mind? I made a huge, no a gigantic mistake and don't know how to make up for it. I will do anything for you, please, don't leave me."

"Who was the father?" he asked. "Did it happen at the Christmas party?"

"I can't tell you. It was a one time thing and I totally regret it. I would give anything for it not to have happened. Gary, no one knows about the pregnancy except for you and Anna; it's done and over with. No one needs to know, I'll do anything and everything to make it up to you. Please let's get past this."




The EPT Test: Aftermath



"You can't tell me or won't tell me?" he asked.

"Will you promise me we can try and work this out if I tell you? He's married, we were both drunk. I'm sure he regrets it also. I'm not going to ruin his marriage over one mistake. I was just so mad that you didn't come with me to the party. I drank too much and made a big mistake which I'll always regret."

"So, you fuck some guy and get pregnant and you try to blame me. Does your lover know he made a baby with you?"

"He's not my lover and no he doesn't know and never will," I cried.

"You even told me it's your friend who was pregnant. I don't think I can ever get past all the lying. The fact that you lied to me over and over, I know I could never believe or trust you every again."

"Please answer me Gary. If I tell you who it was, can we try and work through this?" I begged.

"No! No fucking way in hell can I stay with you. Shit, I don't know if I love you or I hate you or both, but one thing I do know is that I can never trust you again."

Gary moved into the basement till he found another place to live. It was hard to explain to the kids. I told them that their father and I weren't getting along but that we both loved them and would always be there for them.

I lied to my family telling them that Gary and I had some problems we couldn't get past. It was the truth but I didn't tell them it was solely my fault, that I was a cheating wife. When I asked Gary what I should tell everyone he said he didn't give a shit, but I was the mother of his kids and he didn't want to hurt them anymore than we already had.

Gary did go to a lawyer and started divorce proceedings. He used irreconcilable differences to protect the kids and I hoped to save what little self respect I had left. We lived in a fifty/fifty split state so that would take care of the assets. 

We applied for the divorced. Gary let me have the house since I would have the kids most of the time and my parents helped with the down payment. Gary received most of the saving account and got a nice apartment so he could have the kids over. He moved a block away from the house. We each kept our own vehicles.

We are still on somewhat friendly terms. I do my best never to argue with him. We have a decent relationship because of the kids. Our families had a hard time accepting our breakup. My family loves him and still invite him over for family occasions.

My one sister Beth kept bugging me about the divorce. She said she wanted the particulars or she would go ask Gary for the truth.

I told her that I was flirting with a guy and had dinner with him. Gary found out and I ended the relationship. I told her that I never had sex with him but that Gary didn't believe me; I know I lied again but I just couldn't seem to get out from under the mess I had made apart from telling more lies.

I did find out that she asked Gary later but don't know what he said to her. Gary switched to the day shift so he could see the kids more often. I did wonder why he hadn't switched to days years ago but never brought it up.

I never dated after Gary left. I worked, took care of my kids and went to all the school functions. I did go out with the girls at work once a week. I danced with a few guys but never any more than that. I didn't even flirt.

Other than business conversation I didn't even talk to Ed. My life was full but I did have an empty spot. It was Gary missing from my life. I was happy to see him at the school functions, and other family activities. He kept his promise and was there for the kids. I didn't know if he started dating and really didn't want to know. I just hoped some day maybe, just maybe we could be a couple again.

The day after our divorce went through I called Gary. I told him that one of my bosses was beaten unconscious in the company parking lot the night before. According to the police the assailant wore a black hood and beat him with a bat to within an inch of his life.

They had no idea who it was but the police believe it was some kind of revenge beating because the assailant didn't take anything. They had no other clues as to who it might be.

Gary replied, "Shit happens, maybe he did something that warranted a beating. What was his name?"

"Ed Davis, he was a company partner. He has a wife and three kids... Gary, how did you find out?" I asked in a quiet voice, as I realized he must have found out and then deliberately attacked Ed on the day we were divorced. I finally understood then just how much I had hurt my husband for him to do something so out of character.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I have to go; time to take out the garbage," he coldly replied.

"I still love you Gary and I always will; I just want you to know that. I need for you to know that it was the only time in my life that I ever cheated on you and I truly regret it. I hope that someday you will find it in your heart to forgive me." I said sadly as I felt my eyes tearing up and a lump forming in my throat. 

He replied saying, "Shannon, I have to go. I'll talk to you later, I can't talk now." His voice sounded sad as I heard the click of his phone hanging up.

Chapter 2

After the incident with Anna and Gary at the clinic Anna said she needed to come clean with Ryan. She really cared for him and wasn't going to lie to him. Needless to say, Anna and I are on speaking terms but we aren't best friends anymore. I never told her who the affair was with and I knew she would never ask Ed.

After Ed was beat up outside the office the police talked to all of us. I told them that Ed was my boss and I didn't know anything about his personal life. I decided to look for a job elsewhere since Anna, Ryan and Ed all still worked at the same firm. I needed to start over.

I found another insurance agency that sent me to school a couple of nights a week so I could also sell insurance out of the office. I would get paid commission besides my salary. They said they would also work around my kids school schedule. It was a win, win for me.

Whenever Gary would come over and gets the kids he would knock on the door. Even though it had been six months it still seemed odd, him not walking in and saying, "Honey, I'm home." I know I really missed that.

After I received my insurance licenses I decided to join a health club and exercise a couple of days a week. My bosses told me I looked very nice which made me feel good. They were both happily married and had families. I met their wives at a company birthday party. Their kids were similar in age to mine and all got along fine. A couple of divorced agents asked me out but I told them I wasn't interested. I did my best not to flirt or give the idea that I was interested. The last thing I needed was an office romance.

My oldest daughter told me that her dad, went out on a couple of dates. I knew it was just a matter of time because he was a wonderful man. She did say he told her because he was just going out to enjoy himself and wanted her to know it wasn't anything serious.

Needless to say I was hurt but he wasn't mine anymore. I would fight for him if I thought it would help but had no idea what to do. When he came over to get the kids he told me I looked good. It made me smile that he noticed. I told him he didn't look bad himself.

I took a chance and asked him if we could go out for dinner sometime. He looked at me and said, "I don't think so Shannon. That ship has sailed."

Needless to say I did my best to hold it together as the kids came in to go with their dad. I felt pretty gloomy and called a couple of new girl friends, Cheri and Barb, that I work with and we went out for dinner. I told them about Gary and they told me I didn't need him, there were lots of fresh fish in the sea.

Of course they didn't know that our divorce was my fault. They said all guys were pigs. They laughed as we ordered dinner. Cheri told me I could probably have any guy I wanted. I asked her how many guys want a thirty-four year old woman with three kids! I think I even laughed.

"Hell Shannon, we're not talking marriage here. It's just that you need some hot sex," she laughed. "Look, we all hurt after a divorce. My asshole of a husband was banging his secretary. After our divorce I said to hell with it and found me some strange of my own. You need to get back in circulation while you still have it."

Barb was dating a guy but said it was just for the sex. She wasn't about to jump into another marriage. She liked having sex, going home and waking up in her own bed by herself.

I laughed but really had no interest in just getting fucked. If it was just an orgasm I wanted I could use a vibrator and not have to kiss it. We ended up going out for a few drinks and even dance with a couple of guys. Cheri was right about some guys, they would fuck anything. I was tired of pushing hands away. Do some guys really believe that a woman wants to get felt up on a dance floor?

Cheri mentioned a party that was two weeks away. She said it was in somewhat of a wild country bar but there would be a lot of men there. Even though I was apprehensive I said yes to going. I would have the kids that weekend and asked Mom to watch them. She was glad to see me get out once in a while.

I thought about Gary and how much he liked country music. I actually thought about calling him and asking him to go but I knew he didn't want anything to do with me.

Cheri, Barb and Audrey came by and picked me up. We all dressed up in cowgirl outfits. I wore a flair jean skirt and a blouse with rhinestones. The last time I wore this was a couple of years ago when Gary and I went to a Halloween party. I remember making love when we got home. He said I really looked sexy.

I wore boots and a hat. Audrey said that I looked sexy as hell. I didn't know if that was a good thing or not. The four of us got a booth and ordered a round of drinks. This western bar looked pretty rough. It probably held a hundred plus people and was filled up. It looked like a pretty rowdy crowd. Cheri said it's not as bad as it seems. They have bouncers that throw out the trash.

We were there for about an hour and I had drunk too much already. I knew I better slow down. I looked over at another booth and saw Gary with another woman. I was surprised and the girls told me, "Fuck him! Just have a good time."

I was asked to dance by a big rugged looking guy. Usually he isn't the type of guy I would dance with but I guess I was pissed at Gary. I got up and danced with this guy. He said his name was Ben. He held me closer and tighter than I wanted. I didn't say anything but looked over at Gary who was looking back at me. He was dancing with his date.

Ben was pawing me and I asked him to stop. "Oh come on, you know you like it. Why else would you come to a bar like this?"

The song ended and they started playing a fast country western song. I was going to go back to my booth but Ben wouldn't let go of my arm. He pulled me into the hallway where the entrance to the restrooms were. He began to paw at my breasts. I told him to stop, I didn't want this.

He put his hand between my thighs under my skirt and squeezed my pussy. I yelled, "Stop! Please stop, I don't want this."

The music was blaring and I didn't know if anyone had heard me. I was so scared, then I looked up and saw Gary hit Ben over the head with a beer bottle. He didn't knock Ben out and a fight pursued. I think Gary was getting the best of Ben since he got in the first hit before Ben could react.

All of a sudden four huge bouncers came over, two grabbed Gary and two helped Ben out the door. Another man followed Ben out. I later found out his name was Rob and he was a friend of Ben's.

I went in the restroom to freshen up. When I came out I saw there was a big commotion at the back entrance. A number of people went outside. They said a man was laying on the ground and two men got in a car and left.

I ran out the back door and saw Gary laying there unconscious. Someone had already called an ambulance. I was crying as they put him in the ambulance. His date came out and looked scared also. I guess she had no idea what to do. I reached in Gary's pocket and took out his car keys.

"Here," I said to the woman. "Drive yourself home. I'm going to the hospital with Gary." I hopped into the ambulance and told them he was my husband. They looked confused but left for the hospital.

Gary was wheeled into the emergency room and I filled out his paper work. I was a nervous wreck but I had to keep it together for Gary's sake. About a half hour later the police arrived to talk to Gary and me. He was still unconscious but the police talked to me.

I told them that they needed to arrest this Ben guy. He and his friend beat Gary to a pulp. That's when they told me that the people they talked too at the bar said Gary started it by hitting Ben over the head with a beer bottle.

Even the bouncers said Gary started it. I tried to explain to the police that Gary was protecting me, that Ben was trying to molest me and Gary came to my rescue.

They said they talked to Ben and Rob and both said I was flirting with them. I was teasing them when Gary came over and hit Ben over the head with a beer bottle. In fact Ben was having six stitches put in his head as we spoke.

I was asked if I had any witnesses to verify my story. I told them Gary saw it and that's why he came to my rescue. About that time Ben came out of the emergency room. He had blood on his shirt and a gauze patch on his head. When he saw me he grinned. He walked over to the police and said he wasn't going to press charges against Gary.

"It must have been a big misunderstanding," Ben said.

The police told me how lucky Gary was. He could have done time for assault. I was so mad but didn't know what to say. The love of my life was still unconscious and I was supposed to thank his assailant for not filing charges.

What took the cake was when the police turned away Ben put his middle finger up to his nose and smelled it. He laughed as he and Rob left the hospital. The last thing I saw was Ben squeeze his crotch and smile at me. I felt so humiliated.

The doctor came out and said that Gary suffered a concussion and was still unconscious. He had a lot of bruises and a couple of broken ribs. It looked as though he was kicked a number of times. They believed he would come to but weren't going to rush it. He was admitted and they expected that he would be in the hospital for a couple of days.

I called my sister Beth and asked her to call Gary's parents and our mother to let them know that Gary was in the hospital. Mom would have to tell the kids. I told her I was going to stay there with Gary.

He was in ICU and I could only see him for a few minutes. He had bruises about his face and tubes everywhere. I sat down and cried. I couldn't help it; again I felt it was my fault. He came over to save me.

While I was sitting there holding his hand, his parents came in. There could only be two people at the bedside at a time. I walked to the waiting room and his parents were with him for a few minutes. They came in the waiting room to talk to me. I still got along with them but didn't see them very often. I wasn't invited to their family functions.

I explained to them what happened at the bar. I didn't tell them Ben grabbed me by the crotch. They didn't need to know those details. I explained how Gary came over to protect me and shortly after got beat up in the parking lot. I did tell them that the police blamed Gary for starting the fight even though he was protecting me. Again I started crying.

Gary's parents and I went to the cafeteria and had a cup of coffee. We talked about Gary and the kids. I told them that I would call Gary's work and talk with the insurance companies. I had my cell phone and would call them when I found out more.

They thanked me for helping Gary and stayed for another half hour before going home. I called my mom and told her I would be staying till Gary woke up. I wasn't going to leave his side. She told me the kids were worried about their dad but she'd told them he was going to be alright. They finally had gone to sleep.

The visiting hours for the hospital were over but they let me stay with Gary. I sat in a recliner and thought about our past life together. I was crying when one of the nurses came in and told me his tests had come back and he would be alright. She had no idea I was crying because of all my past actions.

I was there quite awhile and must have dozed off and heard Gary's voice. "Shannon, what happened? Where am I and why are you here?" I looked and it was four in the morning.

"Oh my God! Your awake!" I started the silly crying again. "What do you remember?" I asked.

"I think I got the shit kicked out of me. My chest hurts so much. What happened after I was thrown out of the bar? Where's my car?"

"You're in the hospital. After you stood up for me you were thrown out of the bar and two guys jumped you. You were unconscious and were brought here. I told them you were my husband so I could be here with you. Your chest hurts because you have two cracked ribs."

"Where is my car?"

"I sent it home with your date. If you tell me where she lives I'll go get it for you. You'll be in the hospital for at least a couple of days."

The nurse walked in the room. "Welcome back to the world Mr. Jennings. Since you're awake we'll be transferring you to a regular room in the morning. I take it your wife explained your injuries to you. You have a good woman, she's been at your side ever since you were brought in." The nurse smiled and left the room.

"I'm sorry Gary but they wouldn't let me stay if I told them we weren't married. Your mom and dad were here for a couple of hours and I let the kids know you were in the hospital. I have to call them in a few hours and give them an update."

I let him know I filled out his insurance papers and would call his employer the first thing Monday morning. He stared at me but didn't say anything. I had to wonder what he was thinking. The nurse came in, gave him a shot and told him he needed to get some sleep. His ribs would be hurting and time and rest are the only things to help them heal.

She told me Gary would be out for a few hours and I might as well go home, get some rest and freshen up.

I told Gary I was going home and change clothes; I still had on the cowgirl outfit. I told him I would be back in a couple of hours. He was out again before I left his room. I caught a cab outside of the hospital and went home.

I took a quick shower and lay down hoping to get some sleep. I slept a couple of hours before waking up suddenly. I looked at the clock and it was already eight. I got dressed and quickly drove to the hospital. When I got there they had already moved Gary into a semi private room. As I approached his room I noticed two police officers were coming out.

I went in and he was eating breakfast. I asked him what the police had to say and he told me they wanted to know his side of the story on what happened the night before. He said he told them why he hit Ben with a beer bottle. 

They did tell him what they had told me, that there weren't any witnesses to verify his story. He was relieved to know that no charges were filed against him.

Gary sort of laughed but he said it hurt when he laughed. I asked him what was so funny? He said for what it was worth the police did believe him and liked it when a man stood up for his woman, but he had started the fight and there wasn't anything they could do about him being beat up. They also said that Ben wasn't new to the justice system. He has been in a number of brawls over the last few years and a history going back even further.

I called Gary's parents to let them know he was awake and he talked to them on the phone for a few minutes. After that I called my mom and each of the kids had a minute to talk to their dad. 




The EPT Test: Aftermath



I asked Gary about his car and he told me his mom and dad were stopping by his friend's house to pick it up. They would park it at his house. He didn't say anything else about the woman and I wasn't about to ask. I did ask Gary if he wanted to stay at the house during his recovery. He said he didn't think it was a good idea.

He thought that our oldest daughter Cindy could stay with him for a few days. She was going on twelve and could help him a little. I knew Cindy would be happy to help out her dad. They would probably order out every night. 

Later in the day Gary was getting visitors. Both of our relatives were coming to see him. My mom even brought the kids. They were so glad that their dad was all right. Needless to say Cindy did say she would stay with him till he was well.

I went home that evening with the kids and we ordered out for pizza. We watch a movie together and then they headed up to bed. I had called Gary's boss to let him know he was in the hospital but I still had to call personnel first thing Monday morning. I let them know that Gary would be off on medical for at least a couple of weeks. He would call them after he returned home and keep them updated.

At work on Monday the girls all came up to me and asked what happened. I told them and they all apologized for not being there for me. They were asked by the police if they saw Ben and me in the hallway but they said they had only seen us dancing. They all were pissed that Ben got away with trying to molest me and vowed to get even with him.

I told them to let it go but deep down I wished they could do something.

Barb said, "Maybe your ex old man isn't so bad after all. I know my ex would never stick up for me. It seems that yours would be willing to take a bullet for you. Sorry to hear he was hurt."

I thanked the girls for their concern and told them I wouldn't be going out anytime soon. I knew I wouldn't go back to the western bar.

Cheri looked at me and said, "You still love the guy don't you." I just nodded my head and went back to work.

I stopped home each evening after work and picked up the kids. We went to see their father. I usually sat back and let them do the talking. I would notice that Gary would look over at me every now and then. I didn't talk much except for telling him about his work or his insurance.

He did say he would be getting out of the hospital on Wednesday and that his mother would be taking him to his apartment. Cindy told him she would be over after school to help him out.

I was surprised that he called me Wednesday evening after I got home from work. "Shannon, I want to thank you for helping me during this hospital stay."

"Anytime Gary, if you ever want me for anything, I'm here for you," I replied.

"Would you be able to bring the kids over to my place on Saturday? I'm not supposed to drive while taking these drugs. I thought I'd let them watch movies and order out."

"Sure, I'd be happy too, like I said, I'm here for you." That's the way it went for the next couple few weeks. Cindy stayed with him for two weeks but stopped home most every night. She told me that she wanted to tell me something.

"What is it Honey?" I asked.

"Remember I told you Dad was dating. Well he called that woman, April, the one he was out with that night and told her he wouldn't be going out for awhile, that he had to take it easy."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I asked Dad if it was his girlfriend and he said it wasn't. They were just friends. Dad also asked questions about you."

"Like what?" I asked.

"If you've been dating anyone? Do you ever talk about him? Do you seem happy? Things like that. I just thought you should know."

"Thank you Honey, I don't want to know what you told him. I do appreciate you telling me." I took that as a good sign.

Gary got a clean bill of health but was told not to over do it. We were now coming upon the Holiday season, Thanksgiving then Christmas and New Years. My parents asked Gary over for Thanksgiving. We have had dinner there every year since we got married.

He accepted the invitation. We had become a little closer since his hospitalization. I still had not been in his apartment. I've dropped off and picked up the kids but have never been inside.

My parents had a lot of kids and invited their families over for Thanksgiving. I realized I was the only one not married. Mom always setup the food buffet style and we served ourselves and sat down at the table. The kids always grabbed a table and sat together.

I sat down and my sister Beth sat next to me. "It's good to see Gary here. You know everyone likes him. He's like family."

"Beth, please don't start. We're divorced but we are trying to remain friends," I stated.

"I didn't mean anything by it, sorry," she replied.

Gary sat down somewhat cattycorner from me on the other side of the table. He was talking to my brother Bud. They went to a few ball games together. One of my other sisters asked me about my new job and how I liked it. I said it was pretty good and I made a little extra money when I sold insurance.

I never pressed the family to buy any from me but they did start asking me a lot of insurance question. If I was a doctor I would have gotten paid for all the consultations. I'm just kidding, I love my family.

Then it happened. Mom asked me if I was going to the company Christmas party this year. My stomach churned as I looked over at Gary. I wasn't sure how he would react. Last year's party was partly the cause of my divorce but no one knew it.

I answered, "No, I don't think so Mom. I'm not going to parties by myself anymore and I'm not dating anyone."

"Can't you get a date?" my brother Bud asked in jest.

I looked down at my plate. I couldn't bring myself to look at Gary. My family accepted that we were divorced but still considered Gary as part of the family.

I wanted to come up with some kind of smart answer but had no idea what to say. Then I nearly went into shock when Bud asked Gary. "Hey Gary, you two might be divorced but it seems your still friends. Why don't you take her to her party?"

I closed my eyes and pretended I didn't here Bud when Gary spoke. "Shannon, I'll take you to your Christmas party if you go with me to mine."

It was like the world around me stopped. Did I hear right? Did Gary actually ask me out! People were talking but I didn't hear anything. I got up without answering and went to the bathroom to cry.

After a few minutes there was a knock at the bathroom door. "Shannon, are you ok." It was Gary.

"Yes, I'm fine; got something caught in my throat. I'll be right out." I stopped crying and opened the door. Gary was waiting for me.

"Look, I like your family and love my kids. I'm not saying we're getting back together but we can start by going out a couple of times. So, do you want me to attend your company Christmas party with you? Of course you have to come to mine. I don't want to be one of those guys who goes by himself."

"Yes, I'd love to go with you to both parties. There is no one I would prefer to be with."

We walked back to the table and everyone was smiling. Bud asked Gary for a high five. Something tells me they might have planned this but I really don't know and don't care. It seemed I might be getting a second chance.

Gary did tell me that we were only going as friends, not lovers, not husband and wife. He hadn't forgotten why we were divorced in the first place. At least it was a start. Our kids asked me if their dad and I were getting back together. I explained that we were going on a couple of dates, but we would have to wait and see what the future held.

Chapter 3

It was over a week after Thanksgiving dinner before Gary called me. He did talk to the kids but I figured he wanted me to know that for now we would just be a bit closer. I promised myself I would just take it a day at a time and do my best not to fuck it up.

At work the girls asked me if I wanted to go to a party at the crazy western club. It was going to be the following Saturday. These girls were my friends but I have to say they were a bit on the wild side. By wild I mean they were tough girls and not take shit from anyone. There divorces hardened them.

I laughed and told them that I didn't like the clientele at the bar and besides I was working on getting Gary back. We would be attending his Christmas party that Saturday.

"You must really love this guy," said Barb. "I'll admit he did fight to protect you; that gives him a few brownie points. Someday if you two work it out, we want you to formally introduce him to us."

"I will. You'll see he is genuine. For the record, I screwed up our marriage, not him."

Cheri said to me, "Have fun at his party, make sure you have a good time. Go early, stay late, talk with a lot of people. Don't forget our company Christmas party is the following week. Is he coming to it? Will he be your date?"

"Yes, he said he would. So I guess you'll meet him then."

"We saw him from a distance at the bar. He's a good looking guy but don't forget he was with a date," said Cheri. You're our friend and we have to look after you. We don't want to see you get hurt."

They really were good friends. I know they weren't sure about me dating my ex but someday I might tell them the whole story. They could hardly hold it against Gary.

****

I got dressed for the party. I even went out and bought a new dress to wear. I wanted to look classy for Gary not necessarily overly sexy. My red dress was form fitting and had a v-neck and came a few inches above my knees. I wore a necklace that Gary had bought me a few years ago. 

My daughters told me I looked beautiful; my son said I was pretty. I thanked them and they got in the car, I dropped them off at Mom's and headed back room. Gary came by a few minutes later and knocked on the door. I told him before that he didn't have to knock but he always did.

He wore a sport jacket and a blue dress shirt. He wasn't big on wearing ties. When he looked at me he said, "Wow! You look great; I forgot just how pretty you are."

I smiled and thanked him. He opened the car door for me like we were on a first date. We arrived at the hall and a number of his friends were surprised that we were together. "Damn Gary, she looks sexy as all get out." I heard his friend say to him.

We sat at a table with his mom and dad. His dad worked at the same company. They greeted me with a smile and his mom said I looked nice. His dad made me laugh when he said, "Nice? Hell, she's gorgeous." I thanked them both as we sat down.

"Would you like something to drink?" asked Gary.

"Sure whatever you get will be fine." Gary knew my drinking habits and tonight I didn't want to drink too much.

A lot of his friends and I guess some were still mine, stopped by our table and said hi to us. Most of them I hadn't talked to since Gary applied for the divorce. It was a bit strange but I was happy to be there. When the music started Gary asked me to dance, it was a slow number.

He held me close and I got goose bumps. "Shannon," he said. "I know this is difficult for both of us but I want you to have a good time. Just treat this as a date and let's both enjoy ourselves." With that said we danced three songs in a row before taking a break. The second and third songs were fast ones.

We sat down and Gary got me a rum and coke and a beer for himself. We were falling into the flow of the party. It was just like old times. I got up and brought more snacks to the table. We got up and danced another fast number. When we sat back down one of his friends asked me to dance.

I wasn't sure how to respond. In old times I would have danced and thought nothing of it. I looked at Gary and then his friend and said, "No I don't think so. Thank you for asking but I just sat back down and want to rest a little."

He responded with, "Maybe later then," and walked away.

Gary's dad asked me to dance on the next slow song. Gary had asked his mother to dance. As we were dancing his father said it was nice seeing me with Gary again. He waltzed over to Gary and said, "Switch partners." and began dancing with his wife. Gary smiled as he took me in his arms.

"Shannon," he said. "You can dance with other guys if you want too. I won't stop you."

"I don't care if I dance with other people or not but I do want to be with you. If you dance with one of the other wives, I'll consider dancing with the husband. There is no way I'm going to dance with other men and you just sitting there watching me." He didn't say anything else about it and pulled me closer as we danced."

A couple of his friends wives asked Gary to dance and I did dance with their husbands but wouldn't let them hold me close like I dance with Gary. All in all I had a wonderful time. I saw a few old friends, talked with my exs, but most of all my relationship with Gary got a step closer.

It was after midnight when we left the party. I drank but was far from drunk. Gary pulled up in the driveway, came around and opened my door to let me out. "Are you coming in?" I asked. "The kids aren't home." I smiled at him.

"No, I don't think so, not this time. Thank you for coming with me. I had a wonderful time and you looked so beautiful." He leaned over and gave me a gentle kiss. It was our first kiss since I don't know how long.

I wanted to tell him that I really wanted him and to take me and make love to me but I knew better. We were taking baby steps but at least we were moving forward.

I went in the house and watched him drive away. I was both happy and sad. I went to bed and slept like a baby.

I woke up suddenly around nine in the morning. The doorbell was ringing. I glance out the window and saw a police car. I put on a robe and answered the door.

"Mrs. Jennings, we would like to ask you a few questions." It was the same officer who questioned me after Gary was hurt.

"What do you want?" I was getting nervous. I looked over at the squad car and Gary was in it. "What's going on. Why is my husband doing in the squad car?" Why I said husband, I don't know but I was very scared.

"Mrs. Jennings, please calm down. He isn't under arrest, at least not yet. We asked him to voluntarily come over here with us. We didn't want him talking to you till we had. May we come in?" He and a female officer came in.

"Mrs. Jennings, I need to know where you were last night between eight o'clock and midnight."

"I was at a Christmas party with Gary. We got there around six and left sometime after midnight. Why are you asking me these questions?"

"Just bare with me. Was there anyone who could verify that you and your ex were there other than your ex? So you know we asked Mr. Jennings these same questions."

"Yes, we sat with his parents, Bill and Mary Jennings. Also there were hundreds of people there. I can give you some of the names of people we talked with." I started giving him names of couples we sat or danced with.

"At any time did your ex husband leave the party?"

"No, you see it's was our first time back together and we stuck together like glue. Neither of us left the others side other than a quick trip to the rest room."

I went on to explain that Gary brought me home near one o'clock and I went to bed. "Can you tell me why you want to know where we were last night?"

"Ben Crow, the man your husband fought with a few months ago was severely beaten last night. He said he was attacked by three hooded men but he has a tendency to exaggerate. We did the follow up on you and Mr. Jennings because of your past dealings with Mr. Crow.

"We'll follow up on a few of your witnesses. If they prove to be correct we won't be bothering you or Mr. Jennings. Sorry to have bothered you."

The officers walked out the door and released Gary and he came in. "Would you like some coffee and breakfast?" I asked.

He smiled and said some bacon and eggs would be nice. He sat down and we had coffee while I made him breakfast. We talked about this Ben Crow getting his ass kicked. I told Gary that it must be fate as we both laughed.

I called my mom and told her I would be over to get the kids after Gary left and I got dressed. Mom took it wrong and I had to say, "No Mother, he didn't spend the night. I'll explain it later. I'm making him breakfast in my pajamas and robe. No Mother! Look, I'll talk to you later. Bye!"

I looked over at Gary and he was laughing. Inside it made me feel good. As he ate I went and got dressed. We talked a little about going to my Christmas party the next week and then he left. "Kiss the kids for me," he said.

I told my mom what happened at the party and the nice time we had. I then explained what had happened this morning and why Gary was there. She said she just hoped everything between us was good.

At work on Monday the girls cornered me. "Did you read in the paper where Ben Crow was beat up at the western club? The damn liar said he got beat up by three big men. Afraid to admit it was three women who manhandled him. He made the mistake of grabbing Audrey by the ass."

"Don't tell me you three did it?" I asked.

"He had it coming. First he tries to molest you and then beats up your ex. This time we kept our eye on him. When he grabbed Audrey by the ass, she slapped him and the bouncers saw him and threw his ass out. We went out to the parking lot and took care of the son of a bitch. He won't be hurting any of our friends anymore," replied Cheri.

"We put on hoods but he knew it was women, the asshole. According to the paper they didn't find the three male assailants. We all know they never will. The paper also said they did question a few suspects but all were cleared. He said he was robbed but that was a lie too," said Barb.

"Lucky thing his buddy Rob wasn't there," I said.

"Oh, he was there but we had our friend Linda keeping him busy on the dance floor. I guess he chose Linda over being thrown out with his friend."

"Gary and I both got questioned but we had dozens of alibis. We were at the party the whole time and didn't get home till close to one."

"Did you get laid?" asked Cheri smiling.

"No, it was a friendly date. We're taking our time."

"Honey, you need to get laid. If not for yourself, then do it for us." They all laughed.

I laughed too, but I wanted Gary but not in a just fuck me situation. I wanted to be made love too.

The following weekend Gary would have the kids and asked my mom if she would watch them. We knew there wouldn't be a problem but we always asked her nicely. Gary respected my mother and she loved Gary. She let him know that she would keep them overnight so he wouldn't have to come by late and pick them up.

I had my hair done up and wore a sexy black number that was quite a few inches above my knees. It was quite form fitting dress and accented my curves. I felt I looked good. I just hope Gary thought so to. 

He rang the doorbell and I let him in. "Wow, you look awfully sexy!" he said to me.

He had on his sports jacket but was also wearing a tie. I couldn't remember the last time he wore a tie. "You look very handsome," I said to him. "I love the tie.

"I wore it for my date," he laughed. "I want to impress her friends. It's the first time I will be meeting most of them."

"Gary, I need to tell you something about my girlfriends. Remember the police came by and asked us about the mugging last week?"

"Yes, what does that have to do with your friends?" he asked.

"They are the ones that kicked his ass. There were four of them in on it. One distracted Rob while the other three put on masks and beat the shit out of Ben. I believe he told the police it was men because of the embarrassment and humiliation of being beat up by women. They told me they did it for you and me.

"I don't want to lie to you or keep any secrets from you. I thought you might like to know."




The EPT Test: Aftermath



"Thank you, that means a lot to me and I'll do my best not to maul you tonight but it will be hard the way you're dressed," he laughed. "I don't want them mad at me."

We went to my company Christmas party and I was surprised that all my girlfriends had dates. We got a large table and all sat together. I introduced Gary as my friend. Barb laughed and said, "Shannon, we all know he's your ex husband and you're both working on your relationship. We have a habit of telling it like it is. Gary, it is nice to meet you. We hear a lot about you and it's good to finally meet you."

All the girls introduced there dates. They seemed like decent guys. My friends already ordered pitchers of margaritas for the table. The guys along with Gary ordered beers. There was all kind of talk at the table about jobs, sports, ex marriages and about anything else you wanted to talk about.

I dance slow songs only with Gary. A lot of us did a lot of line dancing. Gary said he preferred to watch it then do it so I danced for him. I was afraid I might have been drinking too much. I was shaking my bootie pretty good.

"Shannon, I'm here to watch over you and take you home. Don't be afraid to have a few extra drinks. I want you to enjoy yourself. I know you were worried about how to act and drink last week. I want you to be yourself."

I leaned over and kissed him. I couldn't believe I did it. Audrey said, "You go girl!"

I did have quite a bit to drink but wasn't drunk. After saying good night to my friends, Gary opened my car door and I slid in showing a lot of leg. He smiled as he closed the door. I thanked him for escorting me and that I had a wonderful time. He told me he liked my friends and had a good time also.

I didn't notice when he pulled up in front of his apartment. "Would you like to see the inside?" he asked.

I was dumbfounded but did say I would love to see it. He opened my car door and helped me out. We stepped inside and he kissed me, I mean really kissed me! He asked if I wanted a beer but I said no that I was full of margaritas. He showed me his kitchen and got himself a beer.

He asked me if I wanted to make love with him. "Yes, I would love that; I've missed you so much." He opened a cupboard and took out a blue pill.

"Remember these? I bought them after Valentine's day last year and never got a chance to use them." He took one and washed it down with his beer.

He took me to his bedroom and unzipped my dress. I stepped out of it and he put it on his hamper. He kissed me, first lightly and then with more passion. He removed his jacket, shirt and tie. Reaching behind me he removed my bra. As I moved over to his bed he took off his trousers and t-shirt. The only clothes I still had on was my sexy black panties, he had on his briefs.

As I lay on the bed he began by kissing my breasts, licking and sucking on one then the other. God, I missed him so much. He was so gentle and loving. He began kissing down my tummy and pressed his face and kissed just below my belly button. He went lower and slipped off my damp panties as he kissed my mound. I've always kept a neatly trimmed mound. That was the way Gary liked it.

He spread my legs and buried his face into my pussy. I couldn't help it but I had a mini orgasm when he pushed his tongue into me. He felt it and tongued me even faster. I couldn't stop myself putting my hands on his head and holding it there. It felt so good. Minutes later he made his way up and kissed me very passionately with my juices all over his face.

I grabbed his head and stuck my tongue in his mouth. My legs were spread and he guided his cock into me. It slid right in. He rose up and kept squeezing my breasts while pumping his cock into me.

I knew I was moaning and groaning the whole time. After about ten minutes he came hard in my pussy. He pushed his pelvis as hard as he could against mine. It hit me! I had an orgasm that caused me to yell out. "Oh God, that's feels so good, please never stop, I want it forever. I love you so much."

We were both wet with perspiration. When my pussy stopped having spasms he rolled off of me. He went in the bathroom and brought us both a towel. I patted my body as he left the room for a minute. He came back with a beer for him and a wine cooler for me. I thanked him and took a big swig of it. It tasted good.

Gary wiped off his body including his cock. He was sitting on the side of the bed drinking his beer. I took another drink from my wine cooler and got off the bed, knelt between his legs and took his cock in my mouth. I kissed around his cock and then slipped its mushroom head into my mouth. I sucked it and began going back and forth on his cock taking more in with each stroke.

I went far enough till it hit my throat. I didn't want to choke. I wanted us both to enjoy this. His cock got hard again and he asked me to get back on the bed on my hands and knees. As I did what he asked, he took his hard cock and pushed it into me doggie style. We fucked until he came again. I wasn't keeping track of my mini orgasms. I just wanted to be with him.

After coming the second time he got up finished his beer and I finished my wine cooler. He turned off the lights and he cuddled up to my ass as I went to sleep.

In the morning I woke up when he got out of the bed. I was used to sleeping alone. He came from to the bathroom and said good morning to me. He sat on the side of the bed, put his hand under the sheet and started rubbing my pussy. He slid first one finger and then two into me. He was finger fucking me.

"When is the last time you had morning sex?" he asked me.

"I don't remember when it was but it was with you," I answered.

He pulled the sheet off of me but was still finger fucking me. "You want to ride my cock?" he asked.

I didn't answer but moved over as he got on his back with his hard cock sticking straight up. I got up and slowly lowered myself on to his rod. I don't know how long I rode him before I felt him shooting his load up into me. I lowered myself and knew I was coming all over his cock again.

After it subsided I asked him if I could use his shower. I half expected him to come in but he didn't. After I got out he gave me his robe to put on. He got in the shower and I went to the kitchen to make us coffee and breakfast.

As we ate I asked him what all the sex meant. He told me for now we were good friends with benefits, if that was alright with me. He would keep his apartment and be staying there but I could come and visit. He did say time would tell if it went any further.

I agreed to the situation for now. Why not? I could be with the man I love, the father of my kids.

Epilogue:

We made it through the holidays. Gary came over Christmas morning and we opened presents as a family. Later in the day his parents invited him and the kids over for dinner. They told him he could invite me if he wanted. Needless to say I went.

We went out for New Years and we started the new year off with a bang. He comes over at least once a week and we watch TV or take the kids out to dinner. We spend more and more time together.

The girls at work are happy that Gary and I are somewhat together. They say that I seem a lot happier. I do go out with them, maybe once a month but I let Gary know where we're going.

Will we ever remarry? I honestly don't know but for now it's working out pretty good. Our kids and both of our families seem happier that we're together even if we've not re-married.

Gary needs to work it out in his mind and I'm happy to let him have all the time he needs. If he ever decides to pop the question my answer will be yes but if he doesn't then as long as we're together I'll still be happy.

The EPT Test; Alternate  Story



Thank you to everyone who read my story 'The EPT Test'. It could have gone many different directions. I received dozens of comments with different scenarios. This is an alternative story and is a stand alone story for those who didn't read the original. Much of the first story is incorporated in this one. Thank you to Mr. Wolf for editing this story.

****

I know most of us have regrets in life and like me often think about them but know there is nothing we can do about them. There are no do over's. My life is filled with good and bad times. I often wonder which outweigh the other.

A little background; I had a good childhood, three sisters and two brothers. We fought a lot but that's what siblings do. High school was ok but nothing special for me. I changed schools a couple of times so never got involved in extracurricular activities.

Even though I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life I started college and met a girl my freshman year. As luck would have it she got pregnant and we both dropped out of college and got married. I couldn't afford college and provide for a family too. I had to make a choice. I liked Shannon a lot and wanted to do what was right by her.

Shannon was three years older than me but was only going to college part time taking a few courses each semester. She lived with one of her girlfriends; they shared an apartment and both had jobs as waitresses. Her family was even larger than mine; she had three brothers and three sisters.

Life really wasn't that bad. My dad got me a job at the auto factory and it paid good money. One of my sisters had apartments that they rented out so we had a place to live at a reasonable price.

I worked the afternoon shift at the factory so I saw Shannon during the day. She usually waited up for me till I came home unless I worked over, which I did quite often. The money was too good to pass up; I had a family to support.

I worked all the overtime I could get and worked a lot of weekends. I was glad that Shannon had a lot of family around because I didn't want her to be alone all the time. We did our best to do things together when I wasn't working. We were lucky and after a few years were eventually able to buy a home. Shannon's parents helped us with the down payment.

****

One thing we did a lot was make love. Shannon rarely denied me. We had three kids in five years. After the last one I had a vasectomy. Shannon and I both decided that three kids were enough. We had two girls, Cindy and Chris, and our son we named Jimmy. Shannon was a great mother and lover.

While being a stay at home mom, until all the kids started school, she decided to take college courses on line from a local University. She did attend a few classes and her mother watched the kids. Shannon was bound and determined to get her degree. Her parents knew that money was tight for a young married couple and did pay for the courses that Shannon took. 

When our son, Jimmy turned five Shannon had received her degree in Business Management. I was proud of her and we attended her graduation.

She said she was going to look for a part-time job since all the kids were in school.

We argued about it a little but Shannon was right; she spent the last ten years of her life changing diapers and being home with the kids. She wanted to be around some adults once in a while.

I was an ok father and did help watch the kids when I was home. I spent most of my time working and trying to provide for my family. I remembered that I hardly did much with my dad while growing up. He was always working too. I guess I developed that trait.

Shannon did get a part-time job at a real estate and insurance agency. It was a decent sized firm with over thirty employees. She was a secretary that answered the phones and did some of the accounting work. She said she loved her job.

The company worked with her so that she was always there for the kids to help them off to school. Her mom would come over when the kids returned home from school. Shannon would be home usually by five o'clock or so. She started out working three days a week, but eventually worked five.

It was working out quite well. I would get up early so I could at least see the kids before they were off to school. Shannon wasn't waiting up for me most nights since she started working. Maybe once a week we did get together to make love.

On weekends when I didn't work, which wasn't very often, we would take the kids somewhere so we could be a family for the day. We went to the aquarium, zoo, amusement parks, movies and to other local events. I really loved Shannon and the kids.

Most guys at work would go to the bar for drinks after getting off of work but I always came home. I wanted to see my family in the morning even when I finished at three in the morning. I would often go lay back down after Shannon left for work but I tried to do what was right.

During the holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Years I did get some days off. We spent them shopping and visiting family. One particular weekend Shannon asked me to go to her company Christmas party. It was a weekend that I had a chance to work. We had gone to my company Christmas party the week before so when I told Shannon I had to work during hers, she got mad at me.

She said she was going anyway and her mom said she would watch the kids. I told her I didn't want her drinking and driving. I really didn't want her to go at all, but that was her decision to make. She was somewhat of a happy drunk but I didn't want her on the road. The party was being held at the Ramada Inn, which was about thirty miles away. She said she and her friend Anna were getting a room for the night, so they could have a good time and not drive anywhere.

Again she told me to call off work and I could share the room with her and Anna could find her own room. I told her we could use the money and I wasn't calling off work. Needless to say she was pissed at me.

I hadn't met most of the people that Shannon worked with. She had only worked there since September. I had met Anna when she came by to pick Shannon up for work a couple of times. It was when Shannon needed her car repaired and Anna offered to give her a ride to work.

Anna was a good looking woman who had been divorced a couple of years. She didn't have any kids and she seemed quite nice. She and Shannon became good friends. I remember thinking when I saw her, "I'd do her", but most guys always thought like that.

I've seen a lot of women that I wouldn't mind having sex with but I would never cheat on Shannon. I'd only been with a couple of women before meeting Shannon so my sexual history was pretty limited.

Shannon never talked about her past boyfriends but I know she wasn't a virgin when we were first together. One of her sisters kind of let it slip out saying, "He's cute, have you slept with him yet?" I knew it embarrassed Shannon but I could kind of read between the lines.

On Saturday, the day of her Christmas party, I kissed her and apologized again for having to work. She wasn't very happy with me as I left for work. She said she would be home before noon the next day.

I went to work and had to work over. I called my mother and told her I would pick the kids up in the morning. There was no reason to wake the kids in the middle of the night.

After getting home, I went straight to bed; boy was I tired. I woke up Sunday around ten o'clock and quickly got dressed and went to pick up the kids at their grandmother's house. They were eating breakfast and she asked me if I would like some pancakes.

Needless to say I hadn't eaten and ate some eggs and pancakes. I thanked my mother for watching the kids. She really liked the kids and said it was never a problem to watch them.

When we arrived back at the house Shannon was home. She hugged all the kids but was a bit distant with me. I figured she was still a bit mad at me. I did ask her how the party went and she said it was fine although she got tired of explaining to everyone why her husband didn't come.

Again I apologized but I figured she was just throwing digs my way. She said she had a lot of dance partners and really enjoyed herself. I asked her if she drank too much and she told me she limited her drinking since I wasn't there to protect her and she had to drive home this morning.

That was about all she said about the party. She seemed to stay mad for a couple of days, then things were pretty much back to normal. Wednesday night she had waited up for me and we had sex. I couldn't believe that she initiated it. After I got out of the shower and into bed she began to rub my cock through my briefs.

She pulled down my briefs and began to give me oral sex. This was fairly rare to get oral sex from Shannon. Usually it didn't happen unless she had drunk too much. She sat up and pulled up her nightgown; she wasn't wearing any panties.

I watched her get up and lower herself onto my cock. Damn! It felt so good. As she was riding my cock I reached up and slid my hands under her nightgown and rubbed her tits. I lasted all of five minutes before coming hard and shooting my load deep into her pussy. I knew she was having an orgasm by her actions and the pulsating of her pussy.

After coming she lay on my chest. I asked her what brought that on, I wasn't complaining and that it was a great surprise. She told me that she felt that she was a little hard on me for the past week. She understood I worked to provide for the family. It was her way of saying, "I'm sorry".

Life was rather normal for the next couple of months. We made it through the holidays. For New Year's we went to her sister Beth's house. She was having a party. Shannon's mom agreed to watch the kids again. 

Shannon got a little drunk but it was alright seeing it was all family. I just had a few beers knowing I had to drive home afterwards. As I mentioned, Shannon was a happy drunk and hot to boot.

We arrived home; this time I started by eating her pussy. She actually had a really nice pink pussy. I spread her lips and shove my tongue in as deep as I could. My whole face was against her pussy. I was busy licking and sucking for all I was worth. She held on to my head and pushed against my face. I knew she had an orgasm and my tongue felt her juices flowing.

By then I was as hard as a rock. She spread her legs and I pushed my cock to the hilt into her pussy. "Oh God, I love it," she was saying. "Fuck me Honey, fuck me hard and deep. It feels so good."

After I came and pulled my cock out of her, she kissed me and told me she loved me. We both turned over and went to sleep. I remember thinking that I should get her drunk more often. Sex with her was always good but she let herself go a little more when she had been drinking.

****

It was now February and I asked Shannon if she would like to go out for Valentine's Day. I told her we could celebrate it on Saturday. She was happy about it and I asked her if she wanted to have another couple with us. We found out a long time ago that it was more fun and gave us someone else to talk with.

She said she would ask Anna if she wanted to go out with us. She and Anna had become close friends and Shannon mentioned that Anna recently began dating a new guy that she met at a Christmas party. He worked in the actuarial department at the office.

I asked Shannon's mother if she would watch our kids and there was no problem there. Anna got back to Shannon and said she and her boyfriend Ryan would love to go. They left the plans up to me but gave me Ryan's phone number to coordinate any plans I may have.

I decided to really do it up big time. We would be going to the Sheraton Inn. I contacted Ryan and made sure he wouldn't mind spending the extra money for a room. He told me whatever I wanted to set up was fine. He really liked Anna and was hoping there might be a future for them.

We would be having dinner and drinks. They also had a lounge where dancing was permitted. All I could think about is getting Shannon a little drunk and having a wonderful night of sex with her.

During the week I ordered two bouquets of flowers and two boxes of candy. I was going all out for Valentine's Day. The flowers and candy would both be placed in our hotel rooms to surprise the girls. I was really getting excited over the whole idea. I haven't gone this far out of the way for Shannon for years. I wanted to show her how much I loved and cared for her.

On Thursday Shannon seemed a little off but maybe I was just pumped up.

I asked her if there was something wrong and she told me that she was just a bit tired and didn't sleep well that night. She left for work and I made sure all our plans were ready for Saturday.

Friday was our garbage pickup day and I usually got up and put the garbage out. A few times I put it out the night before and sometimes the dogs would get into it ripping open the bags.

I called Shannon to let her know I would be working over. She told me she would put out the garbage so I wouldn't have to. I thought it was nice of her because I wouldn't have to get up early and put it out. I just hoped the animals didn't get into it.

She didn't wake me in the morning and when I woke up the kids had already left for school and Shannon had left for work. I looked out the front door and notice two dogs rummaging through our garbage bag. I opened the door and yelled at them and they ran off leaving a busted bag.

I got another garbage bag and put the bulk of the torn bag into it. I then began picking up the garbage left on the ground. I was surprised when I came across two early pregnancy test kits. Why would we have them in our garbage? I looked at them and they both read positive for pregnancy.

I was actually confused. Shannon wouldn't need a test kit because I had a vasectomy. I wasn't sure what to do or how to handle it. I figured the best thing would be to just ask Shannon. Surely there was an easy explanation. I went to work that day and needless to say it bothered me all day.

My head was swimming with what might have happened. Surely Shannon didn't cheat on me. The one thing about not knowing is that you have a tendency to think the worst. Our marriage might not have been perfect but it was a lot better than a lot of others we knew of.

On Saturday I tried to act normal but it wasn't easy. I tried to keep busy and even played with the kids. I took them over to Shannon's mother's house and told her we would see her the next day.

When I got back home Shannon had just gotten out of the shower and had put on her red panties. I went up to her and put my arms around her and even rubbed her belly. She felt so soft and smooth. I had to wonder if there was a baby in there.

"Honey, we can't do this now," thinking I wanted to make love. "There'll be plenty of time for that tonight." She smiled at me and started to get dressed.

She put on this beautiful low cut red dress that she had bought for the occasion. I have to say she looked really sexy. Earlier she had made an appointment to have her hair done. She was one beautiful sexy woman.

I wanted to blurt out, "Look what I found in the trash," but was afraid of what the answer might be. I read stories all the time and life doesn't happen like they do in a lot of these stories. Decision making isn't that easy, at least for me. I can't tell you how much keeping this secret bothered me.

I went ahead and got dressed in my only suit. For all I knew this might be our last night together if what I was thinking was true. If she got pregnant by another man I know I couldn't live with her no matter how much I loved her. I had put the two test strips in a plastic bag and actually put them in my jacket pocket.

Shannon looked at me and said, "Gary, what's the matter? Something has been bothering you all morning." She probably knew me better than I knew myself.

I couldn't hold it in any longer. I reached in my jacket pocket and pulled out the test strips. "I found these in the garbage yesterday. What are they doing in our garbage? Are you pregnant?" I asked loudly.

Shannon had a look on her face that I couldn't read. "Gary, we'll talk about this later. Please, not now. We're going out for dinner." She was looking at me but I swear I couldn't read her face.

"What? No! We'll talk about it now!" I exclaimed.

"Why would you even go in the garbage anyway?" asked Shannon.

"The damn dogs went in our trash. All I did was clean up the mess and came across your test results; I can't believe you did this to our marriage."

It looked like she was looking for something to say. Finally she said, "It isn't mine. The strips belong to Anna. Thursday night after work she stopped by and we talked about the dinner. Then, she told me she missed two periods. She had bought the test kit and it was in her car. I mentioned for her to go get it and take the test here. At least she would know."

"So, Anna's pregnant. Why two tests?" I asked.

"They come two in a package so a woman can be sure. After the first positive reading Anna went and took it a second time and then she threw the test strips in the trash."

"Please don't tell her I told you. I promised her I would keep it a secret. I don't want to embarrass her. She's not positive if Ryan is the father. She's trying to figure it out. I don't want to mess up their relationship."

"I promise not to say anything. I wish you would have told me though," I said. "Yesterday and today would have been much easier on me." I took her hands and kissed them. "You're a good friend."

"I didn't tell you because there wasn't any reason to. It isn't our business and I had no idea you found them in the trash. If you would have mentioned it then I would have told you just like I did. Now let's get going. I don't want to be late for dinner." 

I did my best to put it out of my mind but I guess I still had doubts but did my best not think about it. I really wanted to have a good time with my wife tonight. We met Anna and Ryan at the hotel restaurant. Anna looked beautiful but not at all nervous and seemed happy. Ryan seemed like an all right guy. I shook his hand and we all sat down and ordered drinks.

I couldn't help looking at Anna's belly at times or Shannon's for that fact.

I wasn't talking much but doing a lot of listening. Anna and Shannon did most of the talking. That's why we like to go out with another couple. Shannon kept looking at me but not saying much to me. I was probably acting a bit strange; as I mentioned Shannon knew me better than I knew myself.

I butted in the conversation. "Ryan, do you work with Shannon and Anna?"

"Yes, I work in the actuarial department," he replied.

"Did you make it to the Christmas party last December?" I asked.

He smiled, "Yes I did. It's when Anna and I became close friends. I've known her for awhile but we became better friends at the Christmas party. Too bad you had to work, we had a great time." I looked over at Shannon and she looked away.

We ordered dinner and I was doing my best to act like I was having a good time but thinking about Shannon at her Christmas party was upsetting my stomach a little. After dinner we went into the lounge. The girls went to the restroom. Another reason to go with another couple, women just can't seem to go to the restroom alone.

After they walked away Ryan handed me the money for the flowers and candy. I reminded him that they were put in their room and should be a nice surprise. As far as the room was concerned, Ryan put his on his credit card. We each paid for our own dinner and took turns buying drinks.

"Ryan, I need to ask you something personal. I hope you don't mind. It's about the Christmas party."

"Go ahead, what do you want to know?" asked Ryan.

"Did Anna spend the night with you that night?"




The EPT Test; Alternate  Story



"Damn, Gary! I don't think it's any of your business but yes we spent the night together," replied Ryan sounding a bit agitated.

About that time the girls returned from the restroom and sat down. They both looked a bit nervous. The music began to play and I asked Shannon to dance. She seemed a bit flustered and told me she had something to talk to me about later. It had to do with Anna's baby.

I agreed that we should wait to talk about it. I looked over at Anna and Ryan dancing. They both looked happy and good together. Anna kept looking over at Shannon and me. Now I had promised to keep this from Ryan. Shannon was right, I wish I didn't know anything about it. It wasn't any of my business.

We ordered drinks and both girls were having mixed drinks. I always thought drinking would hurt the baby but didn't say anything. By the time we made it up to our room Shannon was pretty drunk which made me happy. I knew the sex would be good.

She walked into our room and saw the flowers and candy. She smiled and kissed me. "Honey, thank you so much for such a wonderful evening, candy and flowers." She had tears in her eyes.

She kissed me again and I replied, "I love you Shannon!"

"Get undressed and show me how much." She asked me to unzip her dress and she took it off. She had on the red panties that I watched her put on this morning along with a matching bra. 

"I want you to make love to me tonight like you never have before. Anna told me that Ryan uses Viagra once in a while and I asked him for one to give to you."

I had brought up a couple of beers. I took one and took the pill she gave me. It was the first time I have ever taken any kind of sex pill.

As I undressed she walked over and smelled the flowers and opened the box of candy and took a piece out and ate it. She slipped of her panties and bra and lay on the bed. She took a piece of chocolate, spread her legs and put it on her mound above her pussy.

She looked at me and said, "Eat it!"

I got between her legs and ate the chocolate and then her pussy like never before. As I held her lips apart I tongue fucked her to an orgasm. I didn't stop until my face was covered with her juices. After getting up I aligned my cock with her pussy opening and rubbed my cock up and down her moist opening.

"What are you going to do to your horny wife?" she asked.

"I'm going to fuck you forever." I pushed my cock all the way into her hot and wet pussy.

"Fuck me you Bastard," she said to me. "Fuck me hard."

I don't know how long it was but she came again. I pulled out and had her turn over. She got on her knees and I plunged my cock deep into her wet pussy. She kept pushing back against me. I knew I was going to come and held onto her hips and pushed in as far as I could with my pelvis hard against her ass and exploded into her.

I felt her pussy grip my cock and knew she was coming again. When I felt her pussy stop pulsating I pulled out. I got my beer and handed one to Shannon along with her box of candy. After drinking her beer and eating a couple of chocolates she went into the bathroom. When she came out she had a damp washcloth and began wiping off my cock.

I began to get hard again. She leaned over and began giving me a blowjob. I watched as my beautiful wife's lips went up and down on my cock. She got up and lowered herself down on my hard cock. It wasn't often that I got hard that quickly and knew it must have been the pill she gave me.

She rode on my cock for a good ten minutes when I saw her juices running down my cock. She was coming for the third time. She leaned forward as I sucked her beautiful tits.

She got off of me and my cock was still hard. I hadn't come the second time yet. She handed me a tube of KY jelly she had gotten out of the bathroom. "I want you to fuck me in the ass with your big cock," she told me.

I could count on one hand the number of times we have had anal sex since we got married and I wasn't about to argue with her. "Just be gentle," she said as she turned over on her tummy.

I lubed my hard cock as well as the entrance to her anal opening. I used one finger and pushed it in and out of her using the lube. "Ok, Honey, I'm ready, just be gentle!"

I lined up my cock and pushed the head against her anal opening. I felt her opening up as I gently pushed the head into her. "Easy Honey," she said as I slowly got the head into her asshole.

"Oh God, it feels so full. It makes me feel like I have to take a big shit." she said and started laughing.

I couldn't help but laugh too. I loved her so much. I continued to push my cock into her and we began a slow in and out motion. "I'm not hurting you am I?" I asked.

"No, but it does feel weird. I think I like it in my pussy better. No, I know I like it in my pussy better," and began to laugh again.

"Honey, I'm about to come again. I don't think I can hold out much longer," I said as I was pumping harder into her ass.

"Just go ahead and come. Fill up my ass, I can take it," said Shannon.

I came hard and I felt myself holding onto her hips and pushing my cock deep into her ass. "I feel it Gary, I feel you coming in my ass. Give it all to me. Fuck your slut wife."

I couldn't believe the way she was talking. She called herself a slut and me a bastard. I don't know how many times she used the word 'fuck'. It just wasn't part of our normal lovemaking. Not even when she was drunk.

After I came and pulled out of her she took the washcloth, put it against her asshole and ran into the bathroom. A few minutes later I heard the shower so I got up and joined her. She smiled as I got in. We hadn't showered together for years.

I washed her back but mostly her front. We kissed over and over again. We got back in bed and cuddled and went to sleep. In the middle of the night I woke up. My cock was getting hard and I pushed it against her butt. It must have woken her up as she turned over on her back and raised her leg so I could get my cock into her pussy.

We fucked for the next ten minutes. After I came she said, "Maybe we ought to buy a few of those pills." She smiled and we both went back to sleep.

In the morning we got up and she called Anna's room. They talked for a few minutes then she told me Anna wanted to see her. I told her I would head down to breakfast and meet her in the restaurant. I was famished because of all the loving the night before.

When I arrived at the restaurant, Ryan was there; I joined him. "Have a good night?" I asked.

He smiled, "It was great. I want to thank you for setting up this wonderful dinner date. I believe it drew Anna and I a lot closer. I really care for her and think we might have a future together."

I wasn't sure how to respond knowing Anna was pregnant but Ryan never mentioned it. I changed the subject a little.

"Ryan, I wonder if you could tell me a little about the Christmas party. I feel bad about not going and wondered how Shannon was."

"Don't you think it's something you should talk to Shannon about it? I don't want to get involved in other peoples problems," replied Ryan. "I don't feel comfortable talking about your wife."

"What does that mean? Was she with someone at the party? Did she get drunk?" I asked.

"Just so you know, a lot of guys hit on Shannon and Anna but both of them know how to say 'No'. What little I know of Shannon, she loves you. That's what Anna has told me?"

"What made Anna say that? How did it come up?"

"I'm not comfortable talking about this," replied Ryan.

"I don't care if you're comfortable or not. I want to know why Anna said that."

"Shannon was drinking pretty heavy and dancing with everyone there. I just thought it a bit strange seeing she was married," said Ryan. "So I asked Anna about her."

"Go on, I know there's more," I said.

"Well, when the party was about over I asked Shannon if she wanted Anna and I to walk her to her room since she was alone. That's when Ed Davis, he's one of the firm's partners, said he would see she made it to her room. Anna and I went to my room where we made love. We met up with Shannon the next morning for breakfast where she thanked us for watching over her. That's all I know, honest."

"Was this Ed Davis dancing with her a lot?"

"Yes, but she danced with everyone. I even danced with her. It was just dancing," replied Ryan.

"Did this Davis character have his wife with him?" I was getting a little pissed.

"No, she was pregnant and Ed said she didn't want to go out. Since he was one of the partners he told her he needed to attend."

I had a few more questions I wanted to ask but about that time the girls showed up. It was a bit odd the way Anna looked at me. I figured Shannon told her that I knew about the pregnancy.

Shannon said she wasn't all that hungry and ate a cinnamon roll and had a cup of coffee. Ryan stood up and said it was time for he and Anna to leave. We all stood up and said our goodbyes. I told Ryan it was nice meeting him and gave Anna a light hug. Shannon thanked them for going out with us.

After they left Shannon and I headed for home also. Once in the car Shannon said she needed to tell me something. It was about Anna's baby.

"Gary, Anna told me yesterday that the baby isn't Ryan's. This morning she said she really cared for Ryan and wasn't going to tell him. She is going to have an abortion."

"Doesn't Ryan deserve to know his girlfriend is about to have an abortion. I know I would want to know if it was me."

"It's not our decision to make. Ryan has two kids from a previous marriage and had told Anna he wasn't interested in more kids. She doesn't want to lose him. I believe she loves him."

"If she loves him then she should tell him the truth. Hiding this from him isn't right." I was getting agitated. "Especially if it happened before they were together as a couple."

"It happened a few days before they were together at the Christmas party. It was with her ex-husband and she doesn't want the baby. She admits it was a mistake and wants to put it all behind her."

"So why are you telling me all of this? Did you tell her you told me?"

"I told her I've always told you the truth and I don't lie to you. All she asks is that you don't mention it to Ryan."

"Is that it?" I asked.

"There's more. Next Friday she wants me to go to the Planned Parenthood Clinic with her. We will go Friday, spend the night at a motel and come back Saturday. I told her I would go with her. Gary, she's my friend and I have to stand by her decision."

"Who's going to watch the kids? I have to work Friday and maybe Saturday."

"I'll tell Mom that Anna and I have to attend a one day seminar in Cleveland; she'll understand."

"Just so you know, I'm against this but I won't mention it to Ryan. I'm not for ending the life of a kid."

Shannon looked relieved as we headed home. I thought about bringing up this Ed Davis character just to see how she would react but I knew now was not the time.

Things were normal for most of the week. On Wednesday on my way to work I stopped at the drugstore to pick up so goodies for work. I often stopped and bought chips or other things to munch on. I was surprised to see Ryan at the drug store.

"Funny meeting you here," I said to Ryan.

"Anna asked me to stop and pick up her prescription," he kind of grinned.

"What's funny?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing. It's her birth control pills. She told me she was about out of them and if I wanted sex I better get her prescription refilled. Hey, nice seeing you again. I better get back to work."

It hit me like a brick. Was she pregnant or on birth control pills. Again my mind was thinking the worst. This time I wasn't going to ask Shannon. I was going to find out for myself what was going on.

On Thursday night after work I went to initiate sex and Shannon told me she wasn't feeling that well. Besides she had to get up early and take Anna to Cleveland.

I rolled over but didn't sleep well. I got up with the kids and Shannon packed herself an overnight bag. After the kids left Shannon got ready to leave. "I love you more than anything," she said to me and walked out the door.

I had gotten the name of the clinic and the motel they were staying at. Shannon told me she would call in the morning and let me know how it went.

I called off work. Shannon might get mad at me but I needed to know what was going on. Things weren't always as they seemed. The talk with Ryan, the birth control pills, then my wife's actions at the Christmas party.

Supposedly Anna's appointment was at noon. I arrived there twenty minutes past noon. The lady at the counter asked if she could help me. I told her I was there to be with my wife. I gave her Shannon's name and before I mentioned Anna the woman pointed to a door.

"It's the waiting room," she said.

I walked through the door and there sat Anna. "Where's Shannon?" I asked.

"Oh God no!" she replied. "What are you doing here?" asked Anna.

"A better question is, What are you doing here? Are you pregnant?" Again I asked, "Where's Shannon? Is she having an abortion?" 

"She loves you Gary. She's loves you more than anyone. She made a mistake and didn't want it to ruin your marriage."

"A little late for that. Tell her I was here and I'm now going home and getting a lawyer."

"You can't do that to her; she loves you!" cried Anna.

"She should have thought about that before fucking some guy and then our marriage," I was furious.

Anna kept pleading with me then we turned as Shannon came through the door; she really looked sick. When she saw me she started crying.

"Oh God no! Gary, I'm so sorry. I made a mistake, that's all it was. Please believe me, I love you."

"You lied to me, time and time again. If you would have told me when you made your so called mistake, we may have been able to work it out. I'm not saying we would have but I will tell you there is no way in hell I can forgive you now.

"I'm leaving to go home and see a lawyer. This marriage is over." I turned and walked out the door. I could hear Shannon crying behind me. I can't tell you how hurt I was. In one sense I wanted to comfort her but in another I hated what she had done to us.

I did go to a lawyer and started divorce proceedings. I used irreconcilable differences. We lived in a fifty/fifty split state so that would take care of the assets. 

She had to rest up after the abortion. She wasn't supposed to travel. When she got home on Saturday, she cried and cried and told me how much she loved me. I told her about the divorce and she cried more.

"What can I do or say that could change your mind? I made a huge, no a gigantic mistake and don't know how to make up for it. I will do anything for you, please, don't leave me."

"Who was the father?" I asked. "Did it happen at the Christmas party?"

"I can't tell you. It was a one time thing and I totally regret it. I would give anything to have it not have happened. Gary, no one knows but you and Anna; it's done and over with. No one needs to know, I'll do anything and everything to make it up to you. Please let's get past this."

"You can't tell me or won't tell me?" I asked.

"He's married, we were both drunk. I'm sure he regrets it also. I'm not going to ruin his marriage over one mistake. I was just so mad that you didn't come with me to the party. I drank too much and made a big mistake which I'll always regret."

"So, you fuck some guy and get pregnant and you try to blame me." I was pissed. "Does your lover know he made a baby with you?"

"He's not my lover and no he doesn't know and never will," cried Shannon

"You even told me it's your friend who was pregnant. I don't think I can ever get over the lying. The fact that you lied to me over and over, I know I could never believe or trust you every again."





Epilogue:

I moved into the basement till I could find another place to live. It was hard to explain to the kids. I told them that their mother and I weren't getting along but that we both loved them and I would see them regularly.

Some people thought I should take her to the cleaners. Let everyone know what she did to our marriage. I really thought about it, but she is the mother of my children and I didn't want to hurt them anymore than we already had.

Besides, I really did love her and felt that she really was truly, honestly sorry for what she had done, in fact truth be told I still did love her. The problem was I knew I could never trust her again and I couldn't live like that.

We got divorced. She got the house since she had the kids and her parents helped with the down payment. I received most of the saving account. I got a nice apartment so I can have the kids over. I only moved a block away from the house. We each got our own vehicles.

It's funny but we are still somewhat friends. We have a decent relationship because of the kids. Our families had a hard time accepting our breakup. Shannon told everyone some of the truth; that she had lied to me a number of times and that I couldn't trust her anymore. She just didn't tell them the whole truth or what the lies were about.

One day her sister called me and asked me what 'was the truth?' I asked her what Shannon had told her.

"That she was flirting with a guy and had dinner with him. You found out and she ended the relationship. Shannon said she never had sex with him but you didn't believe her," said Beth.

"Beth, it's over. Let it go. You are right about me not believing she didn't have sex with him but anything more you need to ask Shannon about so let's leave it at that." I replied sadly and a little pissed.

"She still loves you, Gary," said Beth.

"I love her too but not what she did to our marriage. I could never trust her again." Then I ended the call.

I switched to the day shift so I could see the kids more often. I'm able to go to their school functions and sometimes I even sit with Shannon. Damn, I miss all the good times and the great sex we had together.

The day after our divorce went through I got a call from Shannon, she said one of her bosses was beaten unconscious in the company parking lot the night before. According to the police the assailant wore a hood and beat her boss with a bat to within an inch of his life. He had no idea who it was but the police believe it was some kind of revenge beating because the assailant didn't take anything. They have no other clues as to who it might be.

"Shit happens, maybe he did something that warranted a beating." I replied, smiling to myself. "What was his name?"

"Ed Davis, he was a company partner. He has a wife and three kids... Gary, how did you find out?" Shannon asked with a quiet voice.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I have to go; time to take out the garbage," I replied.

"I still love you Gary and I always will; I just want you to know that. I need for you to know that it was the only time in my life that I ever cheated on you and I truly regret it. I hope that someday that you will find it in your heart to forgive me." She said sadly and I thought I heard a slight catch in her voice at the end.

"Yeah Right! Have a good evening and kiss the kids for me." Then I regretfully hung up, before she heard the lump in my throat.

The EPT Test



A few minutes had past and there was a light knock on the door. I opened it and there stood Shannon. "We need to talk," she said.

"Honey, I'm so sorry..." I started to say.

She walked in the room and saw the flowers and candy. "I guess you must have ordered them before you thought I was such a whore."

"I don't know what to say; I was wrong and I wish I could take back everything I said. I love you Shannon!"

I was surprised how poised Shannon was. She wasn't yelling or screaming at me. She was choosing her words. "I can't say I'm sorry enough for calling you the things I did."

"You mean a cheating wife, a slut or whore that sleeps around. I can't tell you how much you hurt me. Even embarrassing me in front of my friends wasn't as bad as you not trusting me enough to tell me you found the test kit."

"Every woman I know gets hit on by other men. I have always told them that I love my husband and would never do anything to tarnish that relationship. I've always told you the truth and I don't lie to you."

"Why didn't you tell me about Anna and the test kit?" I asked.

"You've got to be kidding me. You thought I should tell you that Anna was pregnant even before she talked it over with Ryan? What was it; two days ago when she found out? If you would have come to me with the strips, I would have explained it to you."

"Instead, you keep it to yourself and thought the worst of me. You embarrass me on a night that was to be special for both of us. You also embarrassed Anna and I'm pretty sure Ryan, and all you can say is I'm sorry."

"What can I do or say that could change anything? I made a huge, no a gigantic mistake and don't know how to make up for it."

"Lucky for you that I love you so much. You are going to say I'm sorry by making love to me tonight like you never have before. Anna told me that Ryan uses Viagra once in a while and I asked him for one to give to you."

She asked me to unzip her dress and she took it off. She had on the red panties that I watched her put on this morning along with a matching bra. "Get undressed and show me how sorry you really are. You called me a slut so tonight I'm going to be your slut."

I had brought up a couple of beers. I took one and took the pill she gave me. It was the first time I have ever taken any kind of sex pill.

As I undressed she walked over and smelled the flowers and opened the box of candy and took a piece out and ate it. She slipped of her panties and bra and lay on the bed. She took a piece of chocolate, spread her legs and put it on her mound above her pussy.

She looked at me and said, "Eat it!"

I got between her legs and ate the chocolate and then her pussy like never before. As I held her lips apart I tongue fucked her to an orgasm. I didn't stop until my face was covered with her juices. After getting up I aligned my cock with her pussy opening and rubbed my cock up and down her moist opening.

"What are you going to do to your slut?" she asked.

"I'm going to fuck you forever." I pushed my cock all the way into her hot and wet pussy.

"Fuck me you Bastard," she said to me. "Fuck me hard."

I don't know how long it was but she came again. I pulled out and had her turn over. She got on her knees and I plunged my cock deep into her wet pussy. She kept pushing back against me. I knew I was going to come and held onto her hips and pushed in as far as I could with my pelvis hard against her ass and exploded into her.

I felt her pussy grip my cock and knew she was coming again. When I felt her pussy stop pulsating I pulled out. I got my beer and handed one to Shannon along with her box of candy. After drinking her beer and eating a couple of chocolates she went into the bathroom. When she came out she had a damp washcloth and began wiping off my cock.

I began to get hard again. She leaned over and began giving me a blowjob. I watched as my beautiful wife's lips went up and down on my cock. She got up and lowered herself down on my hard cock. It wasn't often that I got hard that quickly and knew it must have been the pill she gave me.

She rode on my cock for a good ten minutes when I saw her juices running down my cock. She was coming for the third time. She leaned forward as I sucked her beautiful tits.

She got off of me and my cock was still hard. I hadn't come the second time yet. She handed me a tube of KY jelly she had gotten out of the bathroom. "I want you to fuck me in the ass with your big cock," she told me.

I could count on one hand the number of times we have had anal sex since we got married and I wasn't about to argue with her. "Just be gentle," she said as she turned over on her tummy.

I lubed my hard cock as well as the entrance to her anal opening. I used one finger and pushed it in and out of her using the lube. "Ok, Honey, I'm ready, just be gentle!"

I lined up my cock and pushed the head against her anal opening. I felt her opening up as I gently pushed the head into her. "Easy Honey," she said as I slowly got the head into her asshole.

"Oh God, it feels so full. It's makes me feel like I have to take a big shit." she said and started laughing.

I couldn't help but laugh too. I loved her so much. I continued to push my cock into her and we began a slow in and out motion. "I'm not hurting you am I?" I asked.

"No, but it does feel weird. I think I like it in my pussy better. No, I know I like it in my pussy better," and began to laugh again.

"Honey, I'm about to come again. I don't think I can hold out much longer," I said as I was pumping harder into her ass.

"Just go ahead and come. Fill up my ass, I can take it," said Shannon.

I came hard and I felt myself holding onto her hips and pushing my cock deep into her ass. "I feel it Gary, I feel you coming in my ass. Give it all to me. Fuck your slut wife."

After I came and pulled out of her she took the washcloth, put it against her asshole and ran into the bathroom. A few minutes later I heard the shower so I got up and joined her. She smiled as I got in. We hadn't showered together for years.

I washed her back but mostly her front. We kissed over and over again and I kept apologizing to her for my stupidity. "Just never do it again. I might not be so nice the next time. If you have a question for me, just ask me. I will never lie to you."

We got back in bed and cuddled and went to sleep. In the middle of the night I woke up. My cock was getting hard and I pushed it against her butt. It must have woken her up as she turned over on her back and raised her leg so I could get my cock into her pussy.

We fucked for the next ten minutes. After I came she said, "Maybe we ought to buy a few of those pills." She smiled and we both went back to sleep.

In the morning we got up and she called Anna's room. They talked for a few minutes then told me to get dressed. We were meeting Ryan and Anna for breakfast.

When I first saw them I apologized and they said, "Enough already." I guess they were letting me off the hook. They looked at Shannon and asked her how she was.

"We worked it out. That's the nice part of being in love, even if he's an idiot," she looked at me. I guess I deserved that.

"What about you and Ryan? Everything Ok?" asked Shannon.

Ryan spoke, "Yes, everything is fine. I'm going to be a dad. I asked Anna to marry me and we are getting married next month. We were wondering if you and Gary would be our witnesses. We're just going to a justice of the peace and then out for dinner."

Shannon looked at me for an answer. "I'm so sorry I messed it up for you. We would be more than happy to be your witnesses and I'll spring for the dinner." I said.

Anna looked at me and said, "I just hope Ryan and I can have as solid a marriage as you and Shannon, she has told me it takes love, trust and forgiveness to make a marriage work.

Epilogue:

Well, everything worked out after all. Shannon forgave me for my mistake of not asking her about the tests. She also said that she would never go to another party without me. She didn't want any doubts in our marriage.

On my next doctors visit I asked him about the blue pill and he prescribed it for me. He did say not to take it all the time, only when I had trouble holding an erection or for those special occasions.

One of the nicest things that happened was there was an opening on day shift at my job and I took it. Now I was able to spend more time with Shannon and the kids.

Our marriage might not be perfect but because we both put in the effort it's damn good.
