The Fall and Rise of David Beckman Ch. 04

July 30th, 2008

I was feeling pretty good when I left Augusta at six o’clock for the drive back home. I was excited about being part of this new venture and was pleased that I was able to bring Clinton Products to the table. I guess that I had gotten so wrapped up in what I was doing with Jeff and Don that I had temporarily forgotten about my other problems. My real world came back to me in the form of a tingling sensation on my upper thigh. It startled me at first. I thought something was crawling up my leg and then I realized it was my cell phone vibrating in my pocket.

I didn’t answer the call. I didn’t even try to get the phone out of my pocket. I just let it go until it stopped by itself. The whole tone of my mood changed after that. I tried not to think about Erica but I couldn’t stop. When you love someone as much as I loved Erica, you can’t just put them out of your mind. Especially when you are dealing with betrayal. Anything that reminds you of that person brings back the pain.

I decided that because I couldn’t put it out of my mind I would deal it directly and I started planning my future. Since I didn’t know if or when Erica might decide to come back from LA, I would proceed without her. I would call a lawyer Wednesday morning and start preparing for a divorce. I would need advice about handling our financial situation. Erica and I both had good jobs before I lost mine. I figured that since Erica conspired against me and helped Bill get me fired that I could probably be safe from having to pay her any alimony. Besides, I didn’t know how much income I would get from my new partnership. It would take a while for that to get sorted out and it would depend on how successful we were in getting the business going.

I began to wonder if Erica had been planning to divorce me so she could be with Bill. Was everything that Bill had done to me over the last several months designed to create problems in my marriage so that Erica would have an excuse to leave me? What about Diane? Was Bill just going to dump her? How could Erica possibly be in love with that slimy asshole?

That was the tenor of my thinking as I pulled in my garage at eight o’clock that evening. As I shut the engine off, I thought to myself, “Well, I’m home.” Then it occurred to me that this wasn’t a home anymore. Having Erica with me made it a home. Now that she was gone, it was just a house with a lot of memories that would cause me pain. Another decision made. After I talked to a lawyer, I would talk to a real estate agent. I would sell the house and maybe move to Augusta to be near my new partners.

When I walked into the house, I had only one goal in mind. That was to pour myself a large bourbon and let its penetrating warmth help relax my muscles that had stiffened during the drive home from Augusta. I went to the kitchen and poured myself a drink and headed into the family room to unwind.

When I walked into the family room, I was shocked to find Erica asleep on the sofa. I was sure that I wouldn’t see her again at least until Friday and maybe not even then.

“What the hell is she doing here?” I didn’t even realize that I was saying it out loud until Erica sat up and stared at me. It seemed to take her a minute to get her mind alert before she spoke.

“Thank God your home,” she said. “Where have you been? I have been going crazy trying to find you …”

She was still talking when I gave the only response I could come up with.

“What are you doing here?”

Erica stopped talking for a moment and stared at me like I was crazy. “I live here,” she said.

I knew it was time for me to say something important. Something of substance, something that would have the impact called for by the situation. The problem was that I was unprepared for this confrontation.

I said, “Oh.”

“What were you thinking?” Erica said, the anger in her voice evident. “You call me and tell me that you are in the hotel lobby and are on your way up to my room and then you never show up.”

Erica was quiet for a minute, waiting for me to respond. Rather than trying to respond I found myself trying to stifle a smile. I don’t know why but I was finding Erica’s righteous indignation funny. I wondered if she was angry because I never showed up or was it because my phone call made her chase her lover from the room.

“Aren’t you going to say anything?” she said.

“What are you doing here?” I really did try to come up with something better than that but I had nothing.

“Why do you keep asking me that? I came home to find you?” she said.

“What made you think I would be here?” For some reason, I wanted to play games with Erica; I decided not to answer her questions, at least not right away. I didn’t really even have a plan. I was just going to be uncooperative.

“After you called me, I waited fifteen minutes and, when you didn’t show up, I looked out in the hallway to see if you were out there. When I didn’t see you there, I thought maybe you didn’t get the room number right and were on the wrong floor and trying to get into the wrong room. I called your cell phone but you didn’t answer. I waited for a while and called you again and this time I got a message that your cell phone was turned off.”

The emotion in Erica’s voice made me take a close look at her. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were puffy and red. She looked exhausted. When she continued, the stress in her voice was obvious.

“When I couldn’t get you to answer your phone, I went down to the front desk and asked the two people working if either of them had spoken to you when you came in. They both said that they were the only two working the front desk for the last hour and that no one had asked either of them for my room number. I told them that you called my room from the courtesy phone. One of the clerks called the hotel operator who told her that no one had called my room from the courtesy phone. The hotel operator said that the only call to my room came from an outside line,” Erica said.

Erica looked at me as if she expected me to say something so I did.

“Please continue.”

“I tried to call you on your cell phone several times and then I called the house but got no answer. At eight o’clock, I knew it was getting late back home so I called Mrs. Campbell next door and asked her if she had seen you. She told me that she saw you drive into the garage yesterday afternoon and when I was talking to her on the phone she said that she could see lights on in the house.”

Again Erica stopped and looked at me. I again felt pressured to say something so I said, “I didn’t think about you calling a neighbor. I guess I shouldn’t have turned any lights on.”

Erica looked exasperated as she took a deep breath. “When I found out for sure that you were at home, I booked the first flight I could get and came home. I got here at eight o’clock this morning. Now I think you own me an explanation,” Erica said. I smiled at Erica - I am not sure why, perhaps just to piss her off. “No, Erica, I think that it is you that owes me an explanation,” I said.

Erica looked surprised by my last statement.

“What explanation do I owe you?” Erica asked.

“I need you to explain all of the lies and deceptions,” I said.

“Lies? What Lies?”

“Why don’t you start with the bullshit about this class you had to take? I have a hard time believing that your boss dropped that on you the Wednesday before the class was to start,” I said.

“I wasn’t lying about that class … well, I guess I wasn’t completely truthful,” she said. I was surprised that she was already breaking down. I thought that she would have stuck to her lie a little longer.

“So you admit you lied about the class?”

“What I told you about the class was true. My boss wanted me to take this class. The part that wasn’t true was that he told me about it last Wednesday. The truth is he told me about it two weeks ago. That’s when I made my reservations. I was going to tell you about it right away but you were so depressed that I put off telling you as long as I could.”

I didn’t expect that. “Is that the truth?”

“Of course it is. You can call and ask my boss if you want. If you would have looked at my itinerary you would have seen the date I made my reservations was more than two weeks ago. That’s why I didn’t give you my itinerary until Monday morning,” Erica said.

I believed her. She wouldn’t tell me a lie that would be so easy to check out but I intended to take a closer look at the itinerary she gave me anyway.

“I can’t believe that you are accusing me of lying to you. I have never told you anything that wasn’t true,” Erica said.

My first thought was, “I wonder if her last statement covered when she told me that she loved me,” but I decided to save that for a later discussion. It was time to break her down and get her to tell me the truth about her relationship with Bill. Erica’s next comment set things up perfectly for me.

“You’re the liar here. Why do you keep trying to change the subject on me? I want to know why you called and said you were in LA and were on your way up to my room when you were actually at home. You had me so worried I didn’t know what to do. I thought you might have finally gone off the deep end,” Erica said.

I sat down on the sofa next to Erica and got close to her and stared into her eyes.

“Okay, I’ll tell you. I wanted you to think I was on my way up to your room so that you would have to chase your lover out of your room before I got there and caught the two of you together,” I said.

Erica’s face began to pale. She pulled back from me and I could see her lips quiver. I waited for her response, expecting her words to give away her guilt but what I got was an angry response.

“Lover? What lover?” Erica said.

“Bill Nelson.”

“Oh, God, David, he is not my lover,” Erica said.

“Are you denying that he was in your room when I called?” I asked.

Erica looked surprised by my question. “No, but how did you know?”

“When you answered the phone, I heard him ask you who was on the phone,” I said.

“How did you know it was him?” Erica asked.

If the conversation weren’t so serious, I would have laughed at Erica. She was now doing what I had done earlier. Deflecting my questions by asking me questions. I just played along. I knew the truth would come out eventually and I wasn’t in a hurry. “I called his house to talk to him and Diane told me he had to go to a conference. I didn’t think it was just a coincidence that you both had to be in LA at the same time and were staying at the same hotel. So when I heard a man’s voice in your room, I knew who it was,” I said.

“Bill is not my lover.”

“So he was in your room but you didn’t make love to him? Was it my phone call that kept you two lovers out of bed?”

“No. I didn’t have sex with him and I was not going to have sex with him. We were just talking.”

“Are you saying that you never had sex with him?”

“I have never cheated of you,” Erica said.

“Another lie,” I said.

“That is not a lie,” Erica said.

“Okay, maybe not a lie but a deception. I can’t judge the truth of what you tell me but I know about your deceptions. The dishonesty caused by things you didn’t tell me.”

Erica didn’t say anything. I could see that her eyes were filling up with tears but she was trying to stay strong.

“Shall I list all of your deceptions? I am talking about the truths that you didn’t tell me that became lies by their omission? Let’s see, where shall I start? How about the day we ran into Bill and Diane at the Mall. The truth was that you already knew Bill but by not saying anything you let me believe that you had never met him before. Then there were the phone calls. You told me that Bill called you and talked about me. This led me to believe that his calls were because he was concerned about me and about my job performance. What you failed to mention was that the real reason he called was so the two of you could talk about yourselves. Then you forgot to tell me that you told Bill about the deal I was working on with Clinton Products. That omission cost me my job. Let’s see what else was there. Oh yeah. You failed to mention that Bill Nelson was going to be in LA at the same hotel you were staying at followed by your not telling me he had been in your room when I called. Then the final deception. When I asked you if you had ever had sex with Bill you said you never cheated on me but you neglected to say that Bill was your lover for more than two years when you were in college. Have I got anything wrong so far?”

Erica bent her head and stared down at her hands but said nothing.

“I’ll take your silence as confirmation,” I said. “Given all of the truths you didn’t tell me I am having a hard time believing what you have told me.”

“I had a good reasons for not telling you those things. You have to let me explain,” Erica said and then fell silent.

I got up and started to leave the room.

“David, please don’t leave. Let me explain,” Erica said.

“I am just going to pour myself a drink while you make up more lies,” I said. “Would you like something?”

Erica gave me an angry look. “I haven’t lied to you and I am not going to lie to you,” Erica said. “I would like a glass of wine?”

I went into the kitchen and refreshed my drink and then poured a glass of Shiraz for Erica. I didn’t return to the family room immediately, giving her more time to think about what she was going to tell me. I felt pretty sure I would be able to separate the truth from the bullshit so I wasn’t worried that she was using the time to make up a bunch of lies. I was desperately hoping that she would tell me the truth. The truth was the only hope of saving our marriage.

When I finally returned, Erica thanked me for the wine and then sat silently as she sipped a small amount if the dark red liquid. Erica put her glass down on the coffee table and looked at me.

“You have to know two things that I have told you that are true,” Erica started. “I love you and I have never cheated on you. A lot of what you said is true but I did not know that Bill was going to be in LA. He never told me he was going to be there. My reasons for not telling you about those other things are not what you think.

“It’s true that Bill was my boyfriend in college. I told you about that when we first started dating,” she said.

“You told me that you had a long relationship in college but you never mentioned his name,” I said.

“His name wasn’t important then. I heard from a friend that shortly after going to New York, Bill had started dating someone else. I think it may have been Diane but I don’t know for sure. Bill and I had stopped talking before he found a job so I never even knew he worked at IBM.

“When we ran into Bill and Diane at the mall, it was the first time I had seen him since college. I had never had any desire to see him again and I felt very uncomfortable running into him that way. I didn’t have time to think about whether to acknowledge that I knew Bill or not. He seemed to make that decision for us. I thought about it afterward and I decided it might be best if you didn’t know. I thought it might be uncomfortable for you at work if you knew that Bill and I had been lovers in college.”

Erica took a sip of her wine before she continued.

“When you suggested that we should ask them over for dinner, I nearly panicked. That would have been too uncomfortable for me. I felt that the farther I stayed away from Bill Nelson the better,” she said.

“Why? Were you worried that you might be attracted to him again?” I asked.

“No. It was nothing like that. I just thought it would be uncomfortable being with them knowing that we were keeping a secret from you and Diane. Anyway, one evening about two weeks later, Bill called the house before you got home from work. He thanked me for not saying anything at the mall and said that he didn’t want to make you or Diane uncomfortable. Then he said that there was something that he wanted to talk to me about but he didn’t think the time was right. He just said that it was about you. Bill asked me if I could meet him somewhere and I told him that I thought that would be very inappropriate. So he asked if he could call me so I gave him my work number.

“The next day Bill called me at work. He said that he was worried about you. He told me that you were making mistakes at work that as far as he could tell you had never made before. Bill told me he liked you and he didn’t want Mike to find out that you had screwed up a couple of important contracts. Bill then asked me if you were having any problems that might explain what was going on at work.”

I was beginning to get angry. Was Erica just trying to cover up what the two of them did to me or did she really not know what Bill was up to. I decided to let Erica finished her story before I went on the attack.

“I told Bill that I didn’t think you were having any problems. I told him you hadn’t mentioned any problems at work either. Then you told me that Mike had called you in to tell you that two of your customers had complained about the contracts you sent them. From that point on, you seemed to be angry all of the time and you started drinking more than usual. After that first call, Bill called me every few days and told me what was going on with you at work and how concerned he was for you. At home, your behavior began to worry me. After a while, Bill’s calls started to become more personal. He started talking about the fun we used to have in college and he asked about different people we had known. I don’t know exactly when it happened but suddenly I realized that Bill was calling me every day. By then, the stress you were under was obvious and you had started to claim that someone was sabotaging your work.

“I told Bill what you were saying and he said that he was beginning to worry that you might be having a breakdown. He said that you had complained around the office that the problems with your contracts weren’t your fault but that someone was messing with them. Bill said that you seemed to be suffering from some sort of paranoia. I was seeing the same thing at home and it worried me a great deal.

“The problem was that anytime I mentioned that I had talked to Bill you got angry and said that you didn’t need help. Your behavior became so erratic that I was afraid of what you might do. When Bill first started calling me everyday I was uncomfortable and I was going to tell him to stop calling but then, when your behavior became so unsettling to me, I found it comforting to have a friend I could talk to about what was going on.”

Erica took another break for a sip of wine. I had been watching her very carefully and had the feeling that she was being honest. I couldn’t be sure if that feeling was because I wanted to believe what she was saying or if it was because she was telling me the truth.

Erica put the glass down and started talking again.

“When things were at their worst at home, Bill began to suggest that we meet for a drink so we could talk face to face. I told him I wouldn’t do that but he suggested it again the next time we talked.

“I felt that I had made it clear that I would not see him but he persisted. I was trying to deal with a husband that seemed to have lost his grip on reality and I needed Bill’s advice to help me cope but I knew that meeting him for a drink would be inappropriate. That’s when I started to crack under the pressure. I was trying to get you to seek help while at the same time deal with Bill pressuring me to go out for a drink with him. I have to admit that at the time Bill’s phone calls were something I had begun to look forward to and going home at night to deal with your paranoia was something I had come to dread.

“Then one night you came home happy. Your change in mood made me think that maybe you had broken out of whatever funk you had been in and that everything was going to be better. When I asked you why you were in such a good mood you told me about the deal you were working on with Clinton Products. I could see this was an important opportunity for you so I asked if you were going to get Bill to help you with it. You got upset and said that you didn’t want anyone else at BDS involved in your deal. You didn’t trust anyone. That really scared me. I just thought that if you did that deal on your own and there was a problem with it that you might come unglued. I knew you didn’t want Bill involved but I was afraid of what would happen if he didn’t get involved, so I told him about Clinton Products.

We decided to leave my car at the office and ride home together. On the ride home he started rubbing my leg, soon he was up my skirt and noticed that I didn’t have on any panties. He looked at me really weird. I told him that was why I had come by his office that I was really horny and I wanted to do him on the conference table. Hell, I had to make up something. Well, he did a hard u-turn and we returned to the office, Jiles had left by then, we did it on the conference talk, on his desk and he insisted that we do it on the reception desk. He said I would think of it every time I call. Of course, I do, we ended up drinking the bottle of champagne and sleeping on the pull out in his office. It was great night. Ever since then things have really been on cue.”

Kali looked jealous, “on the reception desk? Man, how would I love that, I haven’t had any in months. I have about worn out poor Willy. You remember Willy, my little vibrating friend? GOD I am so horny.” Kali said louder that she thought.

“Maybe I can help?” asked Tad standing over the girls with the bottle of wine. “with the wine I mean.” He said with a big smile hoping to embarrass the girls.

Li reached up and tweaked Mr. Happy “You keep that monster in you pants, buddy.” She kidded.

“Well here we are,” Tad said. “Hon, you help me with the anchor and then you girls can take a swim while I get the stuff stowed and ready for the night.”

“He is so anal about his boat,” quipped Li.

With the anchor in place and things all settled. Tad grabbed a cold beer and sat on the bow of the boat watching the girls swim in the glow of the full moon. They splashed and laughed as they ran around the beach like two schoolgirls. Tad shook his head thinking of how lucky he was to have such a beautiful wife and counted his blessings for the good fortune of being able to have a nice house, boat, and all the better things in life. Suddenly he realized he had something else to be thankful for, Kali had let out a big laugh and pulled off her bathing suit top. There she was only 50 or so yards away playing in the water about knee deep with her firm breasts and erect nipples swaying in the moonlight. Then without pause, Li stripped hers off.

After a few minutes the girls sat to rest on the beach. “Li, I hope you realize how lucky you are. You have a hot husband, who is obviously crazy about you, a nice house and boat. You have everything. You better treat him right, I may just decide to make a move on him.” Kali joked.

“No you don’t,” Li responded, “he’s mine.”

“But, you will share with you best friend wouldn’t you?” Kali laughed, “did I mention how horny I was.”

“Yes, I think you made that very clear to me and the WORLD!” the girls laugh

“It is just that he is so cute. Not in the muscle bound stud kind of way, but in the…you know he knows how to please a women kind of way.” Kali offered. “How I would love to have a man please me. Did I tell you how horny I was?” Kali asked with innocent eyes.

The girls looked at each other and began laughing uncontrollably.

“Hey!” Tad shouted, “you mermaids better swim back over here, you are having too much fun. I don’t have the energy to save you both if a bear or mountain lion comes crashing through the trees.”

Kali looked at Li, “there aren’t bears or mountain lions in Georgia, are there?”

The girls looked at each other, “Hell No! Atleast…I don’t think so. No, there aren’t, but lets get back, I’m getting cold.”

The girls replaced their tops and began their swim to the boat. As they climbed up the ladder, Tad wrapped each in a big warm blanket. As he wrapped Li he non-chalantly caressed her breast. She pushed his hand away and gave him a half serious stern look. He was sure had ruined any chance of getting lucky. “Oh well,” he whispered, “I didn’t figure I had any chance of getting any with Kali on the boat tonight. But, if you change your mind, you know to find me.”

The girls went below deck to get out of the breeze. Tad went to the bar and poured them each a snifter of Grand Marnier. After handing each their drinks, he settled in behind Li. He straddled her body with his legs as she sat cross-legged on the floor. She leaned back into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. Kali sat facing them with her knees drawn up to her chest.

“I am freezing.” Li said

“Take that wet suit off, you’ll warm up.” Tad suggested

Li removed her blanket and wrapped it back around her from the front. Then she maneuvered her bikini top off and slid off the bottoms and tossed them into the corner. Kali, swiveled her body around so her back was to Li and Tad and pulled off her top and wiggled out of her bottoms and tossed them on top of Li’s suit.

Li settled back into Tad grabbing his hands and wrapped them around her body under the blanket that was wrapped from her front around to Tad’s shoulders. She snuggled deep into his arms.

The friends sat and talked about nothing mainly, Kali’s cat, Tad’s boat, Li’s nightmare hair highlighting experience. Then Tad asked what they were laughing about on the beach so hard. Kali’s face lit up in a bright smile as she quickly said, “We were talking about the time that Li snuck into my bedroom closet in college and watch me do it with my boy friend.”

Li immediately responded, “What are you talking about? Buddy, she is lying! We were talking about how she keeps staying she is so horny and it was really funny.” However, the smile on her face and the raise of her eyebrows made Tad think there were probably half-truths in both versions.

Tad played along, “You snuck into her closet to watch her have sex?” he asked with a big smile on his face and sarcasm in his voice winking at Kali. “What was wrong? Couldn’t you get a guy of your own?”

Li spun in his arms to face him, the blanket fell showing her erect pink nipples. Their eyes met and something clicked in her mind. She started to say something witty and rude and decided on another tact. She reached up and kissed him deeply. Her tongue searching inside his mouth, they kissed long and deeply. She slowly pulled from the kiss and said “no buddy, I couldn’t get anyone one to make love to me. Who would want this?” she asked sitting up straight gesturing to her naked body.

“Okay, point taken.” Tad conceded, “Who wouldn’t want that? That is one of those unfair facts of life. Women can get laid whenever they want. The only thing they have to do is decide they want it and make their selection. Guys have to work and work for it, sometimes paying out thousands of dollars, if you’re a sorry looking guy like me.” Tad opined.

“Not necessarily,” chided Kali, “I don’t think I have mentioned it, but I am really horny and I can’t seem to find anyone who will do me.” She said with a giggle. “No seriously, I wouldn’t argue that statement during college, but when a women gets into the real world the rules change. If a women sleeps with a guy the night they meet or after only a date or two, he dismisses her as a candidate for a long or lasting relationship. So we have to go slow with the guys we are attracted to and only mess around with the guys we know we have no interest in having a relationship. Everything turns around. What’s up with that?” She offers.

“That is a good point. I never thought of it that way.” Tad replies, as Li settles back into his chest wrapping his arms back around her bare torso.

“You know Li, that is one thing I have always envied about you. You are so in control of things. I always jumped in the bed with a guy thinking it was sex I wanted, but it was probably just attention or acceptance, I don’t know. You always said you were not comfortable with people, like me; but I was probably more that you thought things through and realized that it was more trouble than it was worth getting involved with some guys only physically.

“You know Kali,” Tad said, “it could be that when relationships are based on sex, like having sex before your really know a person, you seem to stop trying to know them. The only thing that is ever explored is sex. After sex you probably go right to sleep, wake-up and have sex and the whoever goes home. If you start a relationship getting to know and understand a persons wants, needs and feelings, I think you tend to work to fulfill those wants and needs. Then when sex comes along you have another topic to explore and fulfill. For some reason if you don’t know a person before sex, you really don’t try to get to know them after. It sure seems to me that sex is a great deal better with someone you know and trust than it is with someone you are less comfortable.”

“You can’t be serious. Guys don’t sit around thinking about this type of stuff.” Said Kali knowing he had hit the proverbial nail on the head. “I bet you’re right. How long did you guys date before you slept together?” Kali asked truly interested.

“It was six weeks and three days.” Li immediately answered. “You know the story, we met at the bar in the Ritz, I knew after 15 minutes that he was going to be my husband. But, you are right, I wanted to do him that night but I knew that would have messed everything up. But, after a month and a half I thought it was time to get busy.” She said with a smile putting her head on his shoulder and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“I slept with Steve the night we met, but WOW what a night that was in his hot tub in the dead of winter. But, I won’t bore you with the details.”

“Oh, go ahead and give us the details.” Tad said hopefully

Li sat there with Tad’s arms warming her body and soul. She started thinking of what Kali had said about being lucky to have him. She knew she was, but also realized she seldom thought about it or express her feelings. “Kali, why don’t you go ahead and tell Tad about the night I spent in your closet.”

Kali looked puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Tell us the story of how we concocted the plan to show me your boyfriends willy. It’s okay. Tad and I are well beyond being upset about something that happened in college. Especially since I didn’t do anything wrong or with another guy.”

“Well, as I remember…first, Li and I used to share everything. She would tell me about her classes and how she aced her tests and I would give her the details of how I did my boyfriends.” She said with a smile. “As I remember, this guy had a really big unit. I used to tell her how big it was and she never seemed to understand or believe the actual size. So I decided she needed to see it. Our plan was to have her hide in the closet and I would get his pants off so she could see it. Then I was suppose to send him to the bathroom or something so she could sneak back to her room. Well, I thought she needed to see how sex was done, thinking she would enjoy it, I always thought she needed get crazier. She was entirely too serious. So instead of having him leave I left her in the closet to watch us. So it really wasn’t her fault that she watched us.”

“Yes that is true, but I want you to tell us the story. What did you do with him?” Li requested as she brought Tad’s hand up under her breasts and forced his hands to gently squeeze her.

“You want the details of what happened…of what we did,” Kali asked confused?

“Yes, give us the blow by blow so to speak,” she said with a grin. “We want to hear how you did it.”

Tad was confused at his wife’s sudden turn around but he was also very intrigued. He wanted very much to play with her firm breasts and was very interested in hearing the sex story as told by Kali.

Kali looked into the eyes of her friends and decided it might be interesting to see how they react to a steamy story. “Well, as I remember, after I got him into the room we started kissing and feeling each other. He ran his hands up and down my body and lightly rubbed my nipples. Then dropped his hands to my rear and slid his hands down the back of my pants to squeeze my butt while he pulled my close so I could feel his hard cock through his pants. I remember we stood there for a few minutes and kissed as we rubbed our crotches together. That is when I decided he was hard and I wanted to show Li, I reached down and undid his pants and pulled his shorts to the floor. I remember wondering what Li thought. I wondered if she was excited looking at him.”

At this point while describing her acts she noticed that Tad was playing with Li’s breast beneath the blanket. This made her excited and she realized that her own nipples became hard and were begging to be touched.

“I then knelt in front of him and started messaging his balls as I stroked him in a long slow motion.” She moved her hand up and down with her fingers cupped as if she were holding the member at this moment. She then noticed that Li, adjusted her position and she reach behind her to grab Tad’s penis. Their eyes met, Li made no attempt to conceal what she was reaching for. The thought of a hard cock only a few feet from her made her hips grind the floor as she talked. She could feel the heat building and wetness making itself known.

Kali continued, “as I stroked it up and down I started to lick the underside of the head, flicking it really, trying to touch it as lightly as I could. I love to watch it jump when I tease. Then I took the end of the head in my mouth and sucked it while I licked the little “v” right under the hole. That always drives men crazy.”

Li, rubbed her thumb on the exact position that Kali was describing. Kali could see Tad’s eyes and knew he was enjoying the sensation and found herself wishing she had a real one, to show them how she did. She longed for the contact, the taste, the smell, the passion.

“Then I put it in my mouth and started going up and down with my mouth and my hand while I pulled on his balls.” She unconsciously opened her mouth and bobbed her head while moving her hand in perfect rhythm while the other hand held her blanket close to her body.

Tad then worked his right hand down Li’s tight stomach and ran his finger across the little patch of hair. As he was trying to gauge if she was going to go further he could feel the heat of her body. She made no attempt to remove his hand, in fact she slightly whimpered and tilted her pelvis to provide greater access to her wet heat. He lightly ran his finger across the hood and down the valley, she let out a audible moan as she lay her head back on his shoulder and kissed his neck. As he moved his hand down her stomach, the blanket fell to Li’s lap exposing her full breasts and erect nipples. Tad continued to pinch and tease her left breast. To Kali, it was obvious what Tad was doing with his other hand beneath the blanket. Kali, sitting with her legs crossed and her blanket wrapped from the back could no longer resist the temptation to touch herself. Beneath the blanket she began squeezing her breast and rolling the nipple between her forefinger and thumb as she continued her story.

“I could tell he was getting close, I wanted so much to taste his cum,” she continued. “I began sucking harder as I stroked him harder and faster. He match my movements by thrusting his cock down my throat.”

Tad moved his other hand to Li’s lower region to pull back the hood of her clitoris and directly rub the hot erect nub below. Li brought her hands to her breasts and began squeezing from the base of each luscious mound working toward the hardened nipples where she finished the movement with a firm twisting pinch. Kali, lost the last of her inhibition and allowed her blanket to drop as she matched Li’s movement on her own breasts. Li raised her head and the girls eyes met and a slight smile emerged on Li’s face. The warm touch of her lover and erotic words of her friend had brought her to a new level of excitement. She was consumed with her desire.

“Oh Kali, tell me what happened next. Please don’t stop,” she begged.

Kali pushed her blanket to the side exposing the beautiful area between her legs. The hair was shaved in a triangle above the protective cover of her clitoris and the lips were swollen, red and open like a flower in a spring rain. Her hand slid to the base of the opening and touch her wetness before she inserted her middle finger deep inside herself as she stared into Li’s eyes she gasp with the penetration. She raised her wet finger to her mouth and rested it on her lips and sucked it deep into her mouth as she pretended it was the instrument she had been discussing. As she slowly backed her finger from her lips, she continued.

“I wanted to be touched so bad, so I pushed him on the bed and lay down beside him. I lightly ran my finger nails from his balls up the shaft to the tip of his cock as it jumped with anticipation. He had clear cum oozing from the head. I smeared the sticky juice all around the head of his cock and licked the head as I raised my leg high in the air,” with this she shifted to her side and raised her knee spreading her legs for her partners to view her open, excited sex. “then I inserted my finger deep in pussy like this.” As she inserted her finger inside herself and rubbed her clitoris with her thumb. “As I fingered myself I began stroking him faster and faster while I sucked the head. I could feel his balls start to release his cum, as he started to explode inside me I took my finger into my mouth to taste our sex together. It tasted so good.” She then brought her dripping finger back to her mouth and sucked her finger in long slow stokes as if it were her lovers penis delivering cum to her hungry mouth.

Li leaned forward and pulled Tad’s legs so they were extended between her legs. Tad pulled his swim shorts down to his knees as Li removed them the rest of the way and threw them to the side. She then reached between her legs, directed his hard member to the opening between her legs rubbing it on her clitoris, and placed the head into her greedy opening. Kali’s eyes were fixed on Li’s wet sex as she sat on him totally engulfing him as she said in a hoarse, near hypnotic voice “oh yes, you are so hard. God I am so wet.”

Li slowly began to rock back and forth as she watch Kali move her fingers in and out of herself. With her legs on either side of Tad she began to raise herself in the air pulling him from her with only the tip remaining in contact with her glistening love, then she would slowly, ever so slowly lower herself back down. Kali watched wide-eyed trying to time her orgasm to theirs.

Li and Kali’s eyes met, “Kali would you lick us, would you taste us? I would love to feel your hot tongue lick my clit.” Kali leaned forward and took Li’s breasts in each hand.

“Li, you are so beautiful. I have always thought you were so beautiful.” She said as she pushed her tongue on Li’s nipple and pinched and rolled the other. Kali slid her right hand down Li’s stomach feeling her smooth tanned skin and lightly scratched the patch of hair above her clitoris. Kali then lowered herself to Li’s lap and cupped Tad’s balls as she lightly flicked her tongue at Li’s clit. Tad let out a moan and brought his foot up to Kali’s wet pussy. She met the touch of his foot and pushed her hips to the floor and began grinding firmly. Kali’s brought her left hand up to Li’s hood and pulled it back exposing the enlarged button. Her right hand lightly touched the very end as she lowered her head between Tad’s legs and licked his balls taking one, and then the other into her mouth and sucked gently. Continuing to expose Li’s clit with her left hand she brought her mouth back to Li’s swollen clit and began sucking. Li said, “Oh yeah that’s it, do that, suck it, suck me and make me cum.” As she began to grind Tad with abandon. She was ready to cum, “OH, OH, OH” said Li as Kali squeezed Tad’s balls. Tad was on the edge, that was what he needed to push him over the top. She could feel the familiar contraction as it pushed his cum up through his cock into Li. They both came together mixing there cum as Kali sucked and licked their combined sex.

Li sat up pulling Tad’s hard cock from her and laid back on his chest with her legs spread wide. Tad’s semi-hard member was positioned in front of her trembling hole. Kali stroked his penis as she descended her face into Li’s open pussy licking and sucking their combined cum from deep within her. Then she moved her tongue up to Li’s clitoris and licked it feverishly as she inserted a finger in her open pulsating vagina and Tad reached his hands around Li and manipulated her hard nipples. Kali continued the licking and pumping her finger in and out of Li until she came again in a loud trembling orgasm.

As the last waves of ecstasy subsided, Li looked down to see Kali sucking and licking on Tad’s completely hard member as Kali reached between her legs and fingered herself. Li pulled herself up on her elbows and drew Kali toward her so they both were sitting upright facing each other. Li reached between Kali’s legs and stroked Tad’s penis as she pushed Kali into position over it. Kali understood the maneuvering and slower lowered herself on the hot organ lubricated with the cum of their sex. Kali and Li’s eyes stared intently at each other as she impaled herself on him. She tried to speak, she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.

She began to slowly rock back and forth on Tad penis with her mouth open as her juices ran down over his balls, down the valley of his rear and pooled on the floor below. As Li reached her hands towards Kali’s breasts, Kali grabbed them and thrust them upon her. She wanted so much to be touched by this beautiful woman she had just tasted. Together they toyed with her nipples and squeezed the globes together. Kali then took Li’s right hand and guided it towards her sex. Their eyes still fixated on each other as Li’s fingers reached Kali’s hooded clitoris and started slowly rolling it under her fingers. Kali threw her head back and released a loud moan of desire and pleasure. As Li pulled the hood back with her left hand her mouth descended upon Kali’s breast and took her nipple into her mouth. Tad laying motionless beneath the gasping beauties could see only Li’s electrified opening hovering above his face. Try as he might he could only reach it with his fingers and he began lightly and slowly encircling the gorgeous sight with the tip of his index finger. But, Li wanted to concentrate on her new found courage and concentrate on the soft beauty before her and she reached back and pushed his hand away.

Kali was totally taken with the moment, her hips mechanically gyrated to produce maximum contact with the hard member between her legs. Then she realized she wanted something else, she slowly rose from Tad’s engulfed cock and lay back on the floor pulling Li on top of her. Their lips met for the first time in a gentle kiss of exploration that grew to something energized with passion. They laid together for a moment each enjoying the touch of the other, grinding their wetness, lost in their newfound togetherness. Li knew what Kali wanted. She lowered herself down Kali’s body pausing at her heaving chest to nibble and lick her protruding nipples before descending to the openness between her legs. She began by running her fingernails down Kali’s thighs to her knees and back up as she absorbed the aroma emitting from her sex. She then lightly ran her index finger across the lips which produced and loud groan from her friend. She then took the lips of her vagina and rubbed them together between her forefinger and thumb enjoying the effortless glide. The time had come; she lowered her head between Kali’s legs and at the last moment looked up at her friend lover. Their eyes met, their gaze held for what seemed like an eternity before Li lightly flicked her tongue across the now exposed clitoris. The flicking gave way to passionate licking then sucking as her finger delved deep inside her soaking opening. As much as she wanted the wonderful sensation to last, Kali’s orgasm could not be delayed. The spasms started in her stomach and Li knew instinctively what to do to maximize the sensation. She released her touch from Kali’s breast and lowered to her clitoris where she firmly rubbed it in large slow circles, with her other hand she pumped in and out of her pussy meeting each of Kali’s thrusts in perfect rhythm and licked the full length of her exposed pussy as the juice poured from the opening.

As Kali’s orgasm built Li felt Tad’s hard manhood enter her from behind. Almost immediately she too was overtaken by the contractions of an intense orgasm and began moaning as she tasted the sweet sex. The moans only added to the stimulation of Kali who now was wreathing uncontrollably beneath her. The erotic moans and smell of raw sex pushed Tad to deliver his seed deep inside his wife as the three finished in a panting heap on the floor.

The three lovers lay motionless for minutes, then Li looked over to Kali and looked deep into her soul and said, “God isn’t it wonderful when you truly love someone?” Kali pulled her close, smiled softly and released a content sighed before drifting into a peaceful sleep.

“No, I believe I can handle it.”

But it did bother me and in ways that I never expected. For the next three hours I hung on his arm and was touched, kissed and then touched and kissed some more. By the time the affair was over I was hot enough to fuck and there I was with a husband out of town and I was with a gay man who couldn’t do me any good. It looked as if I might be hitting the bars looking for a stud after all. As we were leaving the party Phil said:

“I have a room here. Could you come up?”

I don’t know what he saw on my face, but he said, “What’s the matter, did I say something wrong?”

“Well no, not exactly, but you did take me by surprise.”

“How so?”

“I was led to believe that you were gay and that I was just serving as camouflage.”

He broke out laughing. “You were camouflage, but I’m not gay, thank God.”

“I don’t understand.”

“I’ve been having an affair with my bosses wife. It ended a couple of weeks ago, but I heard through the grapevine that he suspects she is cheating and he heard that I was having an affair with a married woman. He put two and two together, got four, and I decided I needed to give Marsha some cover and throw him off the track. So today I showed up with my married lover and he saw that it wasn’t his wife. The problem I now have is that all the kissing and touching has me pretty wound up. I know that my fee for what you were hired for doesn’t cover what I’m suggesting, but I was hoping that we could come to an arrangement.”

“Play for pay you mean?”

“Well yes, I guess that is just what I mean. Do you do that sort of thing?”

“I hadn’t planned on it, but I suppose we can work something out.”

“Do you have specific rates?”

“Since I don’t usually do this, no I don’t. Tell you what sweetie, why don’t you just give me what you think I’m worth when we are done.”

We went up to his room and I swear that if it wasn’t for my panties I would have been dripping on the floor by the time he closed the door behind us.

“If you are anywhere as horny as I am,” I said, “We won’t waste any time on slow strip teases or foreplay. I say lets get naked and get it on.”

“A girl after my own heart” he said as he started to strip.

I only had a dress, bra and panties to get out of (I kept my heels on) so I was on the bed, legs spread wide, when Phil finally got naked. He moved between my legs and I fleetingly thought of John, but then I caught my breath as Phil slipped his cock between my pussy lips. I was so hot and wet that he slid easily in and his first hard thrust into my long neglected pussy almost made me cum.

I raised my legs and put them on Phil’s shoulders so I could draw him deeper into me. He sensed my urgency and he began to fuck me hard and fast.

“Oh God yes,” I moaned, “I need this, I need this, fuck me lover, fuck me.”

My whole being was concentrated in my pussy as Phil pumped in and out of me. The almost two months that John had ignored me had me more than ready and I could feel the tidal wave of orgasm coming at me. I could hear the “slush slush” sound as Phil’s cock pounded into my soaking wet pussy and then I came so hard that I screamed.

Phil kept slamming his cock into me and I could tell he wouldn’t last much longer. “Cum for me baby, cum for me” I moaned and he groaned, “Oh God” and I felt the hot wetness of his cum as he sprayed my insides. He held himself over me as his cock went soft and then he pulled out.

No way was I ready to stop. The slut within me had been freed from her cage and she was going to burn Phil down. I quickly changed positions and went to work on Phil’s cock with my mouth. I started out sucking him slowly, gently, and then I took him deeper into my mouth. My tongue slithered around his cock and Phil’s hands went to the back of my head and held it as his cock began to come back to life. Soon he was fucking my mouth and he was going to choke me if I let him continue so I put both hands on his thighs and pushed back. His cock fell from my mouth and I whispered:

“Let me, let me do it.”

I took him back in my mouth and gently sucked as I bobbed my head up and down. I reached for his balls with one hand and caressed them. I felt him push my legs apart and then he trailed kisses down my belly, past my pussy to my thighs. He licked the insides of my thighs and then moved up to taste my pussy. He pushed his tongue between my soft lips and licked at my sensitive clit. Phil licked and sucked and I licked and sucked and I felt the onset of another orgasm. I pulled away from him, climbed over him and used my right hand to guide him into me and then I slammed myself down on him hard and my body shivered as I climaxed. His hands held my hips as I moved up and down on him and I came and I came and I came.

Phil wrapped his arms around me and rolled me over onto my back and slammed his cock deep into me. I moaned as he pushed into me and then he began fucking me hard. I wrapped my legs around him and locked my heels behind him. My fingernails dug into his ass cheeks as I tried to pull him deeper into me and fucked back up at him. For a minute we tore at each other and then Phil groaned. He stiffened, thrust into me as deep as he could and I felt his cock spasm and throb as he emptied into me and I had another orgasm. Phil pulled out of me and fell to the bed next to me.

“Damn! That was intense. Leave your husband, marry me.”

I laughed and reached for his cock and began to fondle it as I said, “Are you sure you could handle me?”

I moved and took his cock in my mouth and licked and sucked on him. It took a while, but I got him up again. We fucked twice more and I had my mouth on him trying to coax one more out of him when he pushed me away:

“Enough already, enough! I quit, I surrender, you win.”

I disappointedly let his limp cock fall from my mouth, “Are you sure? I don’t need to hurry home.”

“Yes, yes you do. You have to go before you fuck me to death.”

“Party pooper.”

As I was getting dressed he slipped some money in my purse and said, “I dropped my card in your purse. If you ever get single again, give me a call.”

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

As the elevator moved down toward the lobby I looked to see what Phil had tucked into my purse. I found eight hundred dollars. Eight hundred for a fucking that I had desperately needed anyway. So now I was a play for pay girl just as I had been back during my college days and knowing me as well as I did it wouldn’t be long before I was calling Jim and telling him to put me on the A list.

To be continued.
