It, like every other room in the house, was devoid of furniture and almost every other sign that anyone had lived in it, at least in anything like recent times. When she, my wife, got home; she was in for a big surprise. I had to smile to myself. Smile? More like a sneer, actually. When my wife: that traitorous, low down, mean-assed, cold-hearted bitch of a woman got home; she was in for a bit of payback for damn sure; not that it could ever equal what she was doing to me. No, no, I was gonna play hell ever getting even, that for damn sure! Verna had announced to me that she was going on the trip whether I liked it or not. I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. To her credit—very little credit—she had hesitated the week before, as I watched her hand on the door knob, a little unsure of my reaction which had been cold and quiet after the initial arguments of the days before. "Clyde, there is nothing going on between me and Marlon King. He's just my boss. I have to go. There are no bases for your suspicions. Please, get a grip, Clyde. Deal with it," she said. Then she'd turned, gone out, headed for the waiting cab, and left. Deal with it. Her words were nothing short of an ultimatum. They had also been the death knell of our marriage. She didn't know it yet because she hadn't gotten back from her—their—trip. She would know it, as soon as she walked into the house and found it to be only a shell of its former glory. "I'd sold it all the previous weekend. I hadn't made much money in the effort. I'd priced everything to move fast; it had. Bedroom sets for $50. Pots and pans and appliances for $5, for a set of kitchen knives $1. I had an extra $900 in my wallet as I surveyed the damage. Suspicions? Suspicions hell, I had certitudes! Oh yeah I had 'em. Three and four very late nights a month at the Bell Travel Agency, her place of employment. Phone calls, answered by me with no one else on the other end of the line. Oh yeah, I had certitudes. The biggest gimme in all of this had been the fact that she hardly ever mentioned her boss anymore, not for the past year; I had wondered about that, and at first I'd asked her about it. She'd blown me off. Before her going silent about good 'ole Marlon, it had always been Marlon this and Marlon that ad-tedium; then, she apparently noticed that I'd started getting edgy whenever his name came up. I never said anything directly, but it seemed clear to me that there was a reason for her to want me to not be edgy. And then, there had been her company Halloween party of the month just passed. Verna had disappeared after having me get her a drink. When I returned with the refreshments, she was nowhere to be found. After some little time, I started looking for her. No one could tell me where she was. It could have been my imagination, but my queries seemed to make the people I'd asked nervous. It was some forty-five minutes later that she'd finally found me—rather than the other way 'round. She'd been all apologetic: she'd had an equipment problem, since solved, she'd airily assured me. That she'd had an equipment problem was apparently true: her skirt was badly torn and had been put back together with an odd piece of cloth and a couple of safety pins. She'd said it had taken her that long to find the stuff to do the fixin' and get it done. Oh, and hadn't Nora found me and let me know what the problem was? No, Nora hadn't found me. I had no idea who Nora was, and well, more fuel had been added to the fire of my now frenzied imagination. She'd called every night since she'd gone on the trip and tried her best to make me see the light, or as she put it, allay my fears. But, the darkness in my heart and soul, would not go away. I had said little to her on her calls, though I had accepted them, I figured I could at least make her nervous about the way she'd talked to me when she'd left. "Deal with it!" Oh, yeah, I was dealing with it. I sat on a folding chair by the phone. She was due to call again in about fifteen minutes; I looked at my watch. I would be gone the moment we hung up on each other. This was the final act. Well, the final act before the divorce at any rate. She'd be receiving the papers for that little gambit as she walked up the steps to the house, and that before she saw what was no longer inside. Oh yeah, I was dealing with it. I let it ring three times before picking it up. "Hello," I said. "Clyde?" "Yeah, it's me. Can't fool you, Verna." "Clyde, please, I'm calling you every night just like I promised. Nothing bad is going on here, Clyde, really. Again, I'm sorry for the way I talked to you before I left. It was uncalled for, and I don't know what I was thinking," she said. "Nothing's going on? Except you're fucking him, right Verna?" I said. "I was your husband, I'm the only one supposed to be doing that." "What's this 'was your husband' nonsense, Clyde. You are my husband, not Marlon King." It was noteworthy that she had not answered my question. "So you say, Verna. So you say," I said. "Clyde, I said I was sorry for what I said to you, and my attitude. I will make it up to you when I get back on Sunday. I'm gonna see to it that you are one very happy fella. So, just calm down and cut me a little slack. Please, Clyde," she said. "Good luck with that, Verna, I warned you and you pissed on my blue suede shoes anyway. Have a nice rest of your time with Marlon, I need to be going. Bye." I hung up on her. The phone rang again even before I got to the door. I guess she was nervous; well, good. Maybe it would mess up her sack time with her asshole boss; I hoped so. ****** As she put down the receiver, she heard him snicker. "What? You think it's funny?" she said. "Hell yes, I think it's funny. You sitting there naked as the day you were born staring at my fire-hose of a cock while you try to convince him that we're not doing what we're doing. That's the very definition of funny," said Marlon. "Yeah, well, I'm trying to save a marriage—mine. I was an asshole when I left, not giving him any room to save a little face. I broke the cardinal rule of relationships: never humiliate your significant other to the point where he or she can't rationalize what's happening to him, him in this case. "I think he's planning on a separation or even a divorce. And all because of my Grand Canyon sized mouth! Jesus, why can't I do anything right with him anymore," she said. "Well, you could have stayed home this trip; I didn't exactly force you to be here. You knew he was going to not like it given his recent and obvious suspicions. Hell, how often have you had to fend off his questions as it is," he said. "You're right. I was just tired of sneaking around and us never being able to feel relaxed or be together when we wanted. I figured this two week getaway would be a good little hiatus for us. You know, from the daily grind and everything," she said. "And—the pressure he's been putting on me these last months. Jesus, Marlon, I needed these two weeks!" "Yeah, well, with you sweating it every time we've been together these past days that hasn't exactly been the case has it?" he said. "No, I guess not. I'm sorry about that," she said. "Marlon?" "Yes?" "We need to talk to him, do for him, I mean together. Make him believe that we aren't doing anything. I need him to trust me again. You need to become his friend, his close friend. Allay his concerns. The way things are; it's really tough for me. I don't know yet how we're gonna do it, but we just have to find a way. "I mean you're single again, since Janie left you, but I'm not; and I don't really want to lose him. You gotta help me out here," she said. He came to her, his obscenely thick eight-point-five-inch cock swinging in front of him. "Okay. We'll try," he said. ****** "Yes, Mr. Truesdale, we can do that for you. You want pictures, videos, and sound. That about it?" said the very pretty private detective. I nodded and rose to go. "They'll be there for another few days," I said, repeating what I had told her, Janis Hickok, earlier in the meeting. "You've got my retainer, and my number. Just let me know when you've got anything useful." "Will do," she said. Driving to my new place was uneventful. I didn't dwell on the misery of it all. It was kind of a "been there done that" kind of thing. Being only a bit on the high side of five-five, and not all that good looking, had always been a cause of embarrassment for me. Ever since high school, any time I got the nerve up to ask a girl out, it seemed like I got shot down. There had been Mary Lou, of course. Pretty, nice hooters, a butt worth worshipping: she was the exception. But, in the end, she dumped me too—for a jock! Now, my wife, if not actually dumping me, was dumping on me. I'd had enough. Verna was just the latest to put me down. Difference is that we'd been together for so long that I thought I'd turned the corner, that my luck with womankind had changed. But now, after seventeen years of marriage, my illusions had been laid bare and brought home to me in big time. Traffic seemed light for the time of day, well, there's an upside to everything. I knew of course that I would feel it, the pain, later; it was inevitable. For the record I was of the opinion that Verna would feel it too, but at least, in her case, she had someone to share it with. Me? Nada. ****** She did a slow turn around preparatory to stripping for him. She was going to give him the best she had. Their plane was set to lift off the next morning. They'd be home by the afternoon. She knew she would have a battle on her hands with her husband; she was worried, very worried; but she'd handled him before. Still, her nightly calls. He hadn't answered them these past few days. She pushed her concerns from her mind. Her lover was here; she was his for one more night. She would make it good for him, and, for herself. Clyde? She'd make him forget his anger and suspicions; she had it all planned. Her husband might not be much of a lover, but she was a very savvy woman; she would make him believe he was a regular Don Juan; she had to. "You like?" she said. He nodded and licked his lips. "Oh yeah," he said. Naked, she came to him. He reached for her, but she stopped him by holding up her hand. She slowly raised her hand and circled it in the air finally pointing to the floor. He'd been there before: he knew the drill. He got on his knees. She wanted to be worshipped before she would reward him; he would therefore worship her. "Kiss my feet, Marlon." He leaned forward and did as she told him. He straightened up, and she turned around. He needed no further command; he leaned forward and kissed each of her buttocks almost lovingly. She giggled. "You really are a pussywhipped wimp when we get right down to it, aren't you, Marlon." "By you? Absolutely," he said. He parted her nether cheeks and began licking her anus. She shivered; it was one of her favorite things. A man, who would do that for a woman, really was hers to play with. It was one of the things, besides the size of his dick, that made him such a good fuck toy for her. If only her husband, straight-laced and boring Clyde, would put that kind of imagination into his efforts maybe their love making would improve; she sighed. She pulled away from him and lay on the bed, her legs splayed obscenely inviting him. She was his to master. He smiled. He swung his legs over her face and his cock dangled tantalizingly over her lips. She licked the precum from its tip. She felt him lower the glans a little effectively pushing himself past her lips and into her mouth. She began to suck him even as he began licking her slit. As she sucked, she started a slow, very light teasing of the length of his cock with her fingers: something she knew would bring him off, and that sooner rather than later. He sucked her clit into his mouth and all but tortured it. Her juices began to drain from her. She felt him shudder as he squirted his cream into her now engorged mouth. She tried to swallow it all but failed as the white sauce dribbled out and down the sides of her cheeks. He rolled off of her, looked into her lust filled eyes, and waited for what he knew would come next. She wiped the sticky excess from the sides of her face with the back of her hand. She started tickling his balls, then the shaft, then alternating between them before beginning to lick it to life once more. Satisfied, as his cock returned to steel hardness, she plopped down beside him and spread her legs yet again. He spun atop her and pressed home the tip of his cock. "Ugh! A little slower, okay. You're not my husband; you should know to go a little slower, okay." "Sorry, slower it is," he said. He pushed and pulled in a rhythmic but relentless, if indeed slower, back and forth motion that brought forth both a grimace and a steady stream of ahhs from the female beneath him. At last he was buried to the hilt. He paused and kissed her tenderly. Their tongues dueled; the battle between them ended in a tie. The smell of her, as their combined juices and spit dried and coated their bodies, incited his lust to an extreme state. He pulled halfway out and slammed into her. She rose to meet him, her face a mask of pain and pleasure. She bucked like an unbroken horse. He'd already come big once; he was able to last some minutes before he shivered, paused but a fraction of a second, and rammed her like a jackhammer cumming in gobs that filled her vagina and left her stuttering and dribbling spit out the side of her mouth. She orgasmed, squirting more of her own juices out of her even as he shrank from her opening. He lay on top of her panting. Finally rolling off to the side, he lay exhausted beside her. "You're not done, buster. Do your duty," she said. "Yes, ma'am," he said. Positioning himself between her legs, he began avidly sucking his own cum from her gaping pussy. ****** The cab pulled up in front of the house and its two occupants got out. The cabbie helped with the bags to the front porch. Marlon, tipped him, and nodded to his girlfriend. "He's gone I know it. He's not been answering the phone these past few nights. But, just in case, Marlon, stick to our plan, story; I mean if the opportunity presents itself. Okay?" said Verna. She keyed the lock and went in. Marlon followed. "Sweet Jesus! He really is pissed off. "I gotta tell yuh, Verna, this is a statement with all of the i's dotted and all of the t's crossed ever so neatly. He doesn't want you anymore. But there's good news," said Marlon. She looked stonily at him. "I want You," he said. ****** The timing for some reason hadn't worked out as I'd planned: she hadn't been served when she got to the house. She had, however, been served the following day at about the same time planned for the day before. Crossed signals. Well, whaddya gonna do. The house phone and the utilities would all be dead in a few days. I'd arranged it that way. I'd left them on on purpose, that, to guarantee that she'd get home and see the place and have time to digest what she saw. She had, Janis Hickok had the proof. I'd kept my cell. Not so I could catch her calls, but because it was inconvenient for me to change numbers. My job as a sales rep for Claremont Inc., a dry goods wholesale house, required that I be reachable by my customers—the job was too good to be screwing with my phone number. She did try to reach me, seemingly almost every hour on the hour since she'd gotten back. I hadn't taken her calls. But, she finally did catch up with me—in the field—in the foyer of one of my best customer's office. It was either talk to her or risk a scene. As I announced myself to the receptionist, she looked past me to someone sitting with her back against the wall. "Hello, Clyde," she said. "Verna!" I said. "Yeah, can't fool you," she said, mimicking me. "We need to talk. Here or lunch, you choice," she said. It was obviously a threat. "The IHOP on 3rd in an hour," I said. She smiled at me, picked up her wrap, and left. She hadn't uttered another word. ****** I saw her in a booth against the far wall. I took the seat across from her. She leaned back in hers. "Well, you sure make it tough to make my case, to apologize—for the fortieth time—husband mine," she said. "Yeah, maybe 'cuz I don't want to hear anymore of your lies," I said. "Clyde, I was telling you the truth. Marlon and I didn't do anything. I mean except business," she said. "Verna, do I really look like the village idiot to you? I'm not you know. I'm a whole lot smarter than you and your asshole boss are evidently willing to give me credit for," I said. "Clyde, I swear, nothing..." I held up my hand to stop her. I pushed the manila envelop I'd been carrying toward her. She looked at it. "What's this?" she said. "Proof positive that you're a really bad liar, Verna," I said. "Clyde, please. Please, we need to talk. I mean long and hard. There are things..." "What things, Verna? What things? You're fucking the asshole. Have been since forever, I guess. Before I had only my suspicions; now, I have the evidence. As do you," I said, nodding toward the manila envelope. She looked down. "Clyde, okay-okay, I admit it. I admit I've been the idiot, not you. I guess I've tried to have my cake and eat it too. You and the wonderful things you do to and for me, and—well—and Marlon's skills," she said. She began to cry. My turn to lean back in my seat. "So it is about my bedroom skills, or maybe his," I said. She looked up at me. She nodded. "Yes. I'm a selfish woman, Clyde. I guess I always have been. I always want things to be my way. I've been this way since I was a child, I guess. "Clyde, I am so sorry. Clyde—I'm sorry I've hurt you—but—I'm not sorry about doing Marlon. I might be a cheating asshole; but, a hypocrite I am not, Clyde," she said. I sat forward and folded my hands on the table between us. My turn to look down and speak. "Not sorry?" I paused to get my breath. "Verna, I have loved you more than my life, done my best too support, love, and protect you. But, today you have dealt me a really bad hand. You've lied to me, and now you've let me know that I can't satisfy you. You need someone else, or, more accurately somebody else's cock. How am I supposed to deal with that, Verna. You know, deal with it, as you told me to do when you left on your trip. What do you expect me to do? "I know you've been served with the divorce papers, Verna. Just sign the damn things. There's no hope for us. None. Telling me what you just have; well, you've left me no room to even hope," I said. Now, she was crying full out. We got some looks from the locals. "Clyde, I know it seems like I have left us no room to get by all of this. But, Clyde, if you could only give me a little leeway here, maybe—just maybe—we could make it through," she said. I had to smile. The woman was nothing if not determined. "Make it through? I'm actually curious how you might manage something like that, Verna?" I said. "I mean after telling me that I am essentially useless as a man, a lover." She seemed to writhe in her seat. "Clyde, you are far from useless, and you are every inch a man. But, this, it is about bedroom skills. Well partly, anyway. And, by the way Marlon is also a man, and not a bad man. "He's not an asshole, Clyde, as you keep calling him. But, he is a cheater, and so am I. So, I guess, on second thought, that does make us, the two of us—bad people. "Clyde, I want to keep you. And, I want to keep Marlon too—on the side. He will never come between us in any meaningful way. All he is, is a tool to help me satisfy my sexual needs and I his. He fills a need that you can't at least not to the same degree. You just never seemed to be able to learn how to do a woman, Clyde. And I understand that. A lot of men are like that," she said. Verna and Clyde Truesdale "What did you say? Did I hear you right? You expect me to live with this shit? You need him! I can't... "Well, if he's got what you want and need; then, why the fuck do you need me! I guess I ain't nuthin' special. I thought I was—I thought I was a good lover to you too. I thought I filled a need in your heart and was able to take care of your sexual needs. Why would I even consider your asinine plan—plot!" I said. "Clyde, whatever else you may think, whatever lies I've told you to cover up my sins; there is one great truth I need you to consider: you do fill a need in my heart; you own my heart. And, believe it or not, Clyde, in some ways, not the same ways as Marlon, that's true, you fill my needs sexually too," she said. I sat there absolutely floored by her words. If it's possible to be momentarily catatonic, I was such at that moment. "Clyde? Are you okay?" she said. I think she said. I slowly shook my head from side to side. "No," I said. "Is this the end of us, Clyde? No hope?" "I love you, but I am not a sharing kind of guy, and I am not into being lied to, Verna. So, you tell me, how is there any possible hope for us?" She looked at me strangely. "Clyde, are you saying that there might be—I mean—that there is some way..." "No, Verna, I am not saying that. I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying exactly the opposite. I'm saying that I cannot think of any way out of this mess, because I do not share my woman, and I do not cotton to being lied to." "But, if there was a way? If I could figure a way to make it right by you—regain your trust..." she said. "Yeah, like that's about to happen," I said. "Clyde, I have a confession to make. I do have an idea, maybe a way for us to get by all of this. I mean my lies, and my cheating; and to take care of the sex thing too. You know, prove to you that I need and want you? "There's a problem or two that I have to figure out, Clyde, how to handle it. But, if you give me one chance, I promise you to never pull any of this cheating stuff again." "Yeah right! You've already told me that I am not man enough for you, Verna. That pretty much puts the kibosh on any plot you may be hatching." "Damn it Clyde! I did not say you weren't man enough for me. I said exactly the opposite. I said you were a helluva man. "I did say that you—well—you weren't enough for me in some ways. You know sexual ways. But, even there I told you that you were in some other ways. I did, Clyde, I did! Now, I just have to prove it," she said. "Yeah, to make it not so bad sounding. But, it was plain you meant that you weren't ready to give up the asshole. You say you will give up your cheating ways, but, frankly my dear, I just don't fucking believe you! Oh, and yes, I mean asshole! I mean fucking, cocksucking, fuckwad, asshole!" Well, I was angry. "Clyde, one favor? Okay? Just one. Please?" I was all but snarling I was so pissed. "What! She was writhing again, actually wringing her hands. I could not for the life of me figure what she thought she was going to say or do to convince me to forgive her and to trust her again let alone believe her. But, whatever I might have sooner or later have imagined, it sure as hell was not what she laid on me now. "Clyde, you were kinda right about one thing. Marlon and I had done some plotting. I mean quite apart from cheating on you. "We—we—well we kinda knew you weren't going to be happy with me when we returned from the trip, especially since you didn't answer the phone for the last few days we were gone. "So, we put our heads together to come up with a plan, okay a plot, to make you believe that I was still faithful to you. But, when I got home and saw the house, well, those plans were kinda out the window. "But, a few minutes ago, when you were railing against Marlon, I realized that I might actually know a way to convince you that I was never really unfaithful to you in any real sense of the word; and that Marlon was not only no threat to you, but potentially a good and true friend," said Verna. "And what would that be, Verna? You know of some way to make my cock grow, my skills in the bedroom be good enough for you! Hah!" "Jesus, Clyde, your cock is not that small. Marlon's is longer, but yours is fine too. It is a man's cock, Marlon. It does fit inside my vagina. It has made me come, not often, but on occasion. I'm sorry, I belittled your love making skills. I want it, I want your dick. Not as much as I want Marlon's, okay! But I'm a woman, Clyde; turn me on, and I'll twitch and scream and grind my pussy into you until you do me right, just as I do Marlon's. Even with your smaller thingy, I can get off, mister. Let me prove it to you." "You'll let me have you so I won't feel left out. Is that it, Verna? A little mercy sex for good 'ole reasonable hubby? He's no damn good in bed, but at least he won't actually hurt me while he futilely tries to fuck me." She looked frustrated. "Okay, So what. Maybe it would be kind of a case of mercy sex. So fucking what, dear man! You'd still get off, and, hopefully, so would I. It's win-win. You get my ass any time you need it, and I get to keep my marriage which I most definitely want and need." I stared at her in wonderment. "And, he gets your ass any time he wants it and you, the both of you hyperventilate laughing at me behind my back. Right Verna?" She stared right back at me clearly frustrated with my tone. "Laugh at you? Hell no. I have not, nor has Marlon ever laughed at you. Frankly, and truthfully, Marlon has laughed at me, not you." "You?" I said. "Damn straight. For trying to keep this marriage together when it sure as heck looks like all is lost. Yes, I know, it's because of me. I take the blame for my cheating ways. I'm an adulteress. No freakin' doubt about it. So take me across your knees and spank my bottom. I deserve it. There are worse things than being punished for being selfish, Clyde. Because, dear man, that's what the real problem here is not my adultery, but my selfishness. And, I am asking, no, begging you to forgive me and to let me have a chance to make amends for my mistakes, and to save this marriage." I just stared. I had no reason to believe her, I mean her lying pretty much put a period on that possibility. But, I did believe her, in a way that is. I believed that she hadn't laughed at me. I wasn't so sure she was telling the truth when she said that her lover hadn't done so. ****** "So did you have any luck getting him to go along with your plan?" he asked. "Maybe, I'm not sure. I did tell him that we, the both of us, never laughed at him, never made fun of him. I think he believed me. And, while that may have been a little white lie on my part, it will no longer be a lie of any kind. I have a plan, a little different than the one you and I hatched on the trip. I just hope it will work and get us out of the woods here. And you mister-big-dick are going to be playing a starring role," she said. "Me?" he said. "Yes, if you ever want into these pants again. Marlon, if you do your part well enough, we will all—him included—be getting everything we want as often as we want," said Verna. He looked askance at her. Her look, her tone, her body language did not seem to bode well for him. She led him to the table. She took his hand in hers. She proceeded to tell him her plan. His eyes widened perceptibly. "You're kidding right? I mean there's a camera somewhere and this is going to be on TV or something, right?" he said. She was not smiling. She was clearly not joking. "No. I am not kidding. You'll do it, and you'll smile doing it," she said. "When hell freezes over," he said. The verbal battle went on for some minutes. Neither were smiling when it was over. ****** "Okay, you got me here—again. Whatcha got?" I said. "What's your plan?" I wasn't quite being sarcastic. The where was the Golden Apple, a somewhat upscale bar and grill in the heart of town. She took a deep breath, and I think she was white-knuckling the arms of her chair. "Okay, one: I want you to stop your plans to get a divorce." "And?" I said. I had figured that her number one was going to be part of the mix, no surprises there. Now, I was going to get the "what else." Two: I will sign a postnup, prepared by your lawyer, renouncing all economic interest in anything in our marriage that we have in common: House, savings, bonds, cars, the whole ball of wax if I ever disappoint you again by cheating, as you term it, and I still maintain that I wasn't cheating in any real sense of the word." "That it?" I said. Somehow I knew it wasn't. There had to be more. "No. There's one more thing, and it is the foundation upon which everything else will hinge: I want one night of sex, planned and run by me, in which all three of us: you, me, and Marlon take part." I think my mouth was hanging open. If not, it should have been. "Huh?" I said. She'd surprised me. Now, she shut up, she said nothing. She really didn't need to. I'd heard her, and she knew I'd heard her. I knew, too, that if I just let the divorce go through that I was going to be screwed out of half, or more than half, of everything we owned. So, on some level her proposal was appealing even though I knew for damn sure that she wasn't going to give up Mr. eight-inches. "A postnup, huh?" I said. "One put together by my law dog?" "Yes." "And for this, all I have to do is to stop the divorce and sit still and watch you fuck my worst enemy?" I said. "He's not your worst enemy; frankly Clyde, you are," she said. "But yes, he'll have me and so will you. And, you'll be first. He'll be getting the sloppy seconds." I raised an eyebrow at that. "And, he'll suck my dick!" I said, laughing, knowing full well that any such thing was gonna be a deal breaker. "Yes," she said. Now she had stopped me. And, I checked, my mouth was hanging open. "And swallow," I said. "Yes." I stared at her. "Deal," I said. Oh yeah, I wasn't letting an opportunity like this get by me. Talk about revenge! "I'll call Swinburne in the morning to stop the divorce and have him write up the postnup. After you've signed on the dotted line and it's been notarized; well, when would you fancy we would be having our little night of fun and frolic?" "Next Saturday?" she said. I nodded my agreement. "One more thing, Verna. If he backs out at the last minute the rest of the deal stands; no going back. Any problem with that? I stared intently at her wondering if there were not some other last element of trickery left in this woman that at one time I thought I knew so well but clearly didn't." "No problem. And like you said, deal," she said. And just like that my entire life was turned around. She got out of her seat, and came around the table, and kissed me. She stood straight up arms hanging at her sides. She looked me in the eyes and sighed. "I am fully aware Clyde that you are doing this at least partly for revenge on the man who made you his cuckold, and maybe me too if it comes to that. I guess you're within your rights. But, I am also hoping against hope that our special night turns out to be something that draws us together rather than pushes us apart." "Okay. whatever, you're entitled to hope. I mean anything's possible, right?" I said. She nodded, turned, and left. ****** Saturday seemed to come around more quickly than most other Saturdays were in the habit of doing. She'd called him during the week and we'd made arrangements for the happening to be at the house, ours. Verna had everything arranged. Martinis were the beverage of choice for the evening—her choice. There was beer of course, but the hard stuff was gonna be martinis. I'd arrived at 6:30 for the 7:00 show. I wasn't anxious, but I was more than curious. Marlon, on the other hand was fifteen minutes late; a fact that caused my wife to be checking the time with unseemly regularity. "Figure he got cold feet?" I said. I wasn't laughing, but I was smirking. She ignored me. A minute later the door bell sounded. She answered it. "It's about time," she said. "Sorry, I got held up by a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses," he said. His attempt at humor was met with a scowl by Verna. Personally, I thought it was pretty funny; but, not as funny as the mental image of him on his knees sucking my cock! Not much was said at first. Verna made a totally unsuccessful attempt to get everybody engaged in conversation. But, the martinis did hit the spot, and we were all a little looser half an hour later when she signaled that we all needed to get naked right there in the living room. I won the race. Verna placed, and laggard Marlon showed. Well, I guess he had a lot on his mind. I looked over at Verna, Jesus, she was pretty. Her shaved mound enslaved me as it always had. And her breasts, no sag, no hang, just round projections of exquisite beauty. Everything was still iffy, but I caught myself hoping that we could make it through. Well, anyway, we'd be seeing about that. Clyde, have a seat there in the middle of the couch," she said. "And spread your legs wide." I did as she said. She was the maestro tonight, I thought. She smiled and moved over to her lover and stood close beside him without at first touching him. Then, she did. She took him by the hand and led him to a spot directly in front of me. "Get on your knees, Marlon; it's time to do your job," she said. He looked desperately at her, but she just raised an eyebrow; he slipped to his knees. "Kiss it, Marlon. Kiss it, now," she said. He did. "Now, take it in your hands and stroke it once or twice; then, lean forward and put it into your mouth, Marlon." Again, he obeyed her. "Now suck my husband off. Make sure he enjoys it," she said. I was absolutely mesmerized watching the man who had cuckolded me getting a bus load of his own medicine. And he was about to get a shitload of my cum to boot!" I stiffened and unloaded a week's worth of sauce into my enemy's mouth. He gagged at first, but eventually managed to get most of it down. He backed off of me and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Satisfied?" he said to me. I looked over at my wife. She was sporting a very superior, if that's the right term, smile. She'd so far kept her word. "Not hardly," I said. "Verna, lie down on the floor, please," I said. She lost her smile and started to object; thought better of it; and did as I asked. I slid down beside her, kissed her on the lips, reversed myself and 69'd with her. In her case she came in less than five minutes of my ministrations. As for me, I was only seeking to get hard once again, and her mouth did that for me in spades. Reversing myself again, I rolled on top of her forcing her to spread her legs. She was wet from my mouth and her orgasms, so I was able to slide into her with no problem. I began see-sawing in and out of her, and I do believe it was one of the most satisfying fucks that I have ever experienced. Her? I think she got off, but I couldn't be sure she wasn't faking it. But, if she was, she was one hell of an actress. Having cum twice, I was gassed. I rolled off of her, and made a supreme effort to catch my breath. We'd be going at it again, but not till I'd had a chance to recover. "Marlon, your turn," I said. He snickered. "Yeah, well, take notes; I'll be showin' yuh how it's done," he said. "Yes, you will, after you eat her out," I said. "But you..." "Yes, indeed," I said. "She's full of me," I said. "Come on, Marlon. You've gone this far. Get over here and sixty-nine with me," said Verna. His look was one of pure dismay, but he obeyed her yet again. I guess in the final analysis he was as pussywhipped as I ever was. One had to love it! I got up and refilled my drink. I watched as he slowly ate her out. He made faces, but he didn't demur; he lapped it up pretty good, actually. Verna slapped him on his butt. Time for you to fuck me, Marlon baby. Let's show your rival over there what a master cocksman can do," she said. She winked at me as she said it. I suppose she was trying to keep the both of us happy and prevent trouble by avoiding at least to some extent denting our male egos. So far, I had to grant that she was succeeding. I watched rapt as the "master cocksman" drilled her mercilessly. She grimaced now and again, but that allowed, she was pushing herself into him as hard and as enthusiastically as she could. The man was good, I had to give him that. I was actually learning from his technique. Suddenly he stiffened in the death throes of a stunning orgasm and seemed to hang above her as he drained his seed inside of her. Maybe twenty seconds elapsed before he collapsed atop her totally spent. He rolled off of her. The two of them lay for a moment coming down from their expenditure of energy. Slowly, ever so slowly, deliberately it seemed to me, Verna turned to face me. "Your turn, Clyde. Your turn for sloppy seconds. Let's see if you can best the master here. Come on, get over here." She crooked her finger at me and smiled, no smirked, daring me to refuse. I hesitated; she raised an eyebrow. I had assumed that after I got my revenge the bad guy would leave and she and I would do our thing. It appeared that I had been badly mistaken. "Me?" I said. "That wasn't..." "You're not going to chicken out at this point in the proceedings are you, big boy? Not gonna let old Marlon over here best you are you?" she said. I looked at her blankly. I was torn, but I wasn't going to let either of them have any reason to think me a wimp. I came to her. Marlon in the meantime, rolled himself off of the bed and took my place in the chair I had been sitting in for the last few. Looking over at him, he was busy slowly stroking himself in what looked to be a serious effort to get himself hard again. I loomed above her ready to impale her—she stopped me. "Oh no," she said, "You have to eat me out. I want you to do me just like he did. I want to see if you're stud enough to get me off like he did: once with your mouth and then again with your dick. Okay?" Again, I hesitated. "Come on, my husband, we have to defend our family honor here." Now she was semi-teasing me. "What—but..." I said. "You heard me. I wasn't speaking Greek. Get your face down there, young man, and do your duty for your wife," she said. "But..." "No more buts. Just do it. It won't kill you. It didn't kill your rival; it won't kill you either." I could see it was no use arguing. I either got between her legs and sucked some of his cum out of her, or I got up and got the hell out of there. She had stuck to the rules, ones set up by the two of us. I had to give her that—him too if the truth were to be known. But, now she was adding in things. I made my decision. I backed myself up a little and positioned myself between her legs. Looking down at the swamp below me, I lowered my face and began licking and sucking her cunt with some level of gusto. Marlon to his credit didn't make the mistake of laughing or saying anything or giving me any looks. He seemed—interested. She began to shudder; Id' brought her off eating her out. Jesus it felt good to do it. My pride was, so far at least, to some degree redeemed. Climbing back up and over her body, I entered her easily. My sloppy seconds weren't that bad. I hammered her with everything I had, and it was, or so I imagined, a pretty damn good job too. I emptied my load and she squeezed me with her legs trying to make it at the same time; she didn't quite succeed but almost. I lay atop her breathing hard and utterly drained. Verna rolled off of the bed and headed for the bathroom and the shower. My rival, as she had termed him, and I, were left to stare at each other. Though no words passed between us, I was feeling pretty mellow. We both turned toward the sound of the shower being turned off. Our turns were next. Verna and Clyde Truesdale ****** After my wife had come out of the shower I nodded for Marlon to take his. I wanted him to get cleaned up and get out. But, Verna had other ideas. We talked while she put on her nightgown, and while he was in the shower. "Come on, Clyde, we can at least let him have the downstairs guest room for tonight. He kept up his end. Right?" I didn't like it, but I signaled my okay. All right, Verna, but no getting up and visiting him during the night. "No, no visiting him. But, we can all have Sunday breakfast together in the morning, right?" She was really testing the waters. I had to reevaluate my feelings toward Marlon. He'd gone along with everything Verna had wanted. It was clear to me that he was just another pussywhipped guy like; well, like me. ****** Breakfast was quiet, but not uncomfortable. The small talk was—well—small, and the elephant in the room was never mentioned. What elephant? Simple: would a meeting like the one the night before ever happen again, or, put another way, would Marlon become de facto history or would he become a de facto member of the family, that if not an actual legal member of it? Of course, a second question would inevitably follow: who would be making that decision one way or the other? Breakfast done and the kitchen cleaned up, Marlon said his goodbyes and left. He did not attempt to kiss Verna, not even on the cheek; he did tender me a long look before he turned and headed out, the door closing behind him. "Second cup of coffee?" she said. "Yeah, I guess,' I said. "Let's take it out to the patio. Okay?" she said. I nodded my agreement. She poured our seconds and I followed her carrying the percolator outside—well I never got enough coffee. We sat across from each other under the umbrella protected deck table; the sun was beginning to warm the air around us. She smiled. I smiled. It was the moment of truth and we both knew it. "Well?" she said. I knew what she meant. I knew we had to talk. Trouble was I didn't know what to say. I think she did, but I did not. "I don't know," I said, finally. "It, the night, was okay. I will grant that you, and he, kept up your end of the bargain. You did pushed the envelope more thana little toward the end. Me getting sloppy seconds was no part of the original deal, and you know it." "Okay, guilty, but you didn't call me on it. I was ready to back off if you had. But, you didn't." I grimaced my agreement. "So, where do we go from here? Will there be a next time. Did you hate it, or, any part of it?" she said. Well there it was: the soft glove challenge. What I said next might lock me into something I didn't like or put a definite period on our marriage. "Truthfully, Verna, I don't know what I think—want—at least for the moment. It wasn't as bad as I feared it would be; I mean him doing you and messin' with me. I guess I would have to say that he behaved himself, if one could even describe what he did in that vein. "Can I ask, how would you analyze last night's goings on," I said. She smirked. "Overall it was fun, I think. I think for all us it was fun. As I said before, I know you were looking at the revenge factor in becoming a part of it. I think, too, you were trying hard to match up with him stroke for stroke when you were fucking me. "Him? I think he was able to get his end done without becoming too—something. I mean him having to suck you off and all," she said. "You know the man," I said. "What do you think he'll be asking, saying, when you talk to him. I assume you will be talking to him at some point." "Yes, I'll be speaking to him soon. That's a given," she said. "How can I not after he kept his word and did what I asked him to, what you asked him to." "Hmm. Well, what if I say, you know, we're even now, that the marriage was saved; but, that's it, no more Marlon, no more threesomes, no more foolin' around behind my back. What if I put the period on anymore of this stuff?" I said. "That what you're thinkin' of doing, Clyde?" she said. "If you don't mind, Verna, let's not be answering my questions you're your questions, okay. I've been straight up with you. Just give it to me straight too. If I say I need and will accept none other than a one-man woman forevermore, will that be an end to your games or not?" I said. She looked at me for some moments before replying. "You've got your postnup signed and duly notarized, Clyde. I mess around without your permission my ass is grass; I know it. So, Clyde, what I'm about to say is the bottom line for me. "Last night you showed me, and I might add him, that you can be pretty good in the sack if you put your mind to it. But, that said, Clyde; he really is better than you, a lot better, and I would hate to have to give him up. I mean even though I have a lot to lose." "Hmm, yes, and you do have a lot to lose, Verna," I said. She sighrd and looked a little sad. "Okay, Clyde, I will not be fucking him or anyone else without your express permission. I'll hate it, if I can't get your permission, but I will abide by my word here if that's the way it has to be. "But, I am asking you straight, Clyde. Can I have your permission to fuck him from time to time? You'd be welcome to join in of course whenever it suited you," she said. I paused, my turn to look long at her. Why did I feel so trapped, and I did? "How often is 'from time to time'," I said. She smiled, looked giddy; she sensed that I was capitulating. "Your choice, your limits," she said. "Once every couple of weeks?" I said. She leapt out of her chair and came to me, landing on my lap and wrapping her arms tightly around my neck. "God How I love you, my husband. And, you are my husband, my only husband. Whatever I do with Marlon, Clyde, he will know that you are the only man I love. I mean it!" she said. "Clyde?" she said, seeming afraid to continue. "Yes?" I said. "Would you...?" I knew exactly what she wanted to ask. "Maybe, sometimes, not every time, but sometimes. That said, I might change my mind about that too. I just don't know," I said. "Can he come here to the house sometimes, you know, just to visit not for anything else?" she said. "Yeah, I guess so," I said. "Clyde, I don't know if I need to say this or not. But, I promise to never rub your nose in it; I mean him doing me. No more sloppy seconds for you, unless you specifically ask for them. I swear to you to keep my word, Clyde." And, she did keep her word. She met with him a few days later and they talked as she had indicated that she would. I knew that they'd probably made a date at the same time. What I also knew—or more accurately experienced—was that my decision, and it had been mine in the end, marked the beginning of a wildly improved sex life for us, Verna and me. She seemed almost frantic in her desire to please me. Well, there are upsides to almost anything, I guess. Did I join in their escapades. Twice so far. Occasionally is enough for me. The future? Don't know. But, for the time being things are looking okay. ******
