Being torn between two women and the situations involved has been no cake walk for him. He has tried for many, many years to stay in his marriage and honor his wife and the life they built. His daughter was the first and most important thing on his mind though. He needed to get her to the age of 12, at least, so she could make some choices of her own. She has heard them argue and knows that the marriage is in trouble and has asked him many times if everything is ok as she is smart for her age and very mature. He weighs what exactly to tell her. He doesn't want her believing a fairy tale and have that shattered but he doesn't want to burden her with the reality of what is going on. So, when she asks questions, he is honest but not detailed. There will come a time when that will not work any longer but for now, her innocence is much more important.
He thinks back to a time when nothing could have separated him and his wife. They have been through hell and back with him working out of town. He knows his job really didn't help things but the money was good and it suited him. Likewise, he never heard her complain about his paychecks. He never denied either one of them anything. He never dreamed that she would venture out of their marriage for whatever she needed. He thought he had done his very best to take care of the relationship. He sent flowers randomly to let her know he was missing and thinking about her, he arranged gifts to be delivered, things he knew she wanted. He blindly thought things were wonderful for the most part. Not anymore though, he sees where things went sour, in fact, he could almost pinpoint the day. He's had a lot of time to think about things over the last 4 years. He thinks back to that argument, the one that started them down this path.
He remembers the details clearly. They got together with some friends to celebrate someone's birthday. The bar they went to had plenty of loud music and even more booze. Too many drinks to count later, he found her on the dance floor glued to someone he thought was his friend. His hands were all over her ass and they were grinding like teenagers. Jerking them apart, he decided it was time to go and called a cab and left. There was a huge argument that night. Both of them being intoxicated wasn't exactly the best time to argue either. Harsh words were said on both sides, she admitted to wanting the friend and he was devastated. He distanced himself from that friend and thought she had too. Turns out, that was the first of many lies she told about what the relationship was between her and his friend.
Since then, he has watched her distance herself from him and their marriage. She lies about everything. He knows this because even working out of town someone is keeping an eye on her. He knows it's sneaky and deceptive but he had a good reason. He's been truly devastated by everything. In fact, he spent many months where all he could do was hit the gym and work out his frustration on the treadmill. That was his only outlet. He tried talking to her but all he got in return was a cold shoulder or yelled at. As months passed, he decided his approach wasn't working so he changed it up, he started not saying anything when she lied and he knew it, he let her go and do whatever she wanted, he didn't bother trying to fix anything. He did this so long, that eventually he didn't care at all.
Long before all this started he had made an online friend. She was funny and they had a lot in common. She talked to him and kept him company many days while he was working out of town. While nothing ever transpired between them except to cheer each other up or give each other advice. He thinks back and sees that they, even to this day, have exchanged very little personal information. No spouse or kids' names, no addresses, he didn't even give her his last name. Kicking himself, he sees that she never pushed him to give him information he didn't want to give but he sees that she gave more information to him. That was her way of telling him she trusted him and that he could trust her too. She said many times that she wasn't there to wreck his life, she just wanted a friend.
She always knew he was married, he was upfront with that information and she always honored and respected it. When his marriage trouble started he quit talking to her, he saw several messages she sent but after a while she stopped. He was sad to not talk to her but he was so upset that he couldn't even think of what to say to her, he was too focused on being devastated. At some point, he sent her a message and they talked just like they used to. She made him laugh again and although he still had a lot going on, he had moments he could see the sun again.
One day out of the blue she sent him a message, "Captain, I know there is something going on. I just want you to know I am here for you and I will help in any way I can no matter what it is." The concern she had for him was overwhelming and he caved and told her everything from the beginning. The pressure he usually felt was a little lighter and she gave him some great advice. Though she didn't know his wife, she seemed to know what her next moves were and what she was thinking, which was invaluable. They discussed every moment his wife put him through and then talked over possible reasons and ways to react to them.
He had missed his friend and she had told him she had missed him too. He heard more in that but he just wasn't sure she was, after all, helping him with his marriage. Months passed and things at home got worse, he became angry with his wife and with each day it grew. There came a time when he knew it wasn't going to work out but he needed to change some things with work so he could stand a chance in court if it came to that. He continued to talk to his friend and somewhere along the way something changed between them, at least on his end and he suspected on hers as well. Their friendly talk became dirty comments and tons of flirting, photos and a few racy chats that started out as a joke or as a tease or as them sharing a fantasy but ended up with him closing his eyes and thinking about her while he pleasured himself.
One day he sent her a message and told her he was headed to a local store in the town she worked in and wondered if they could finally meet face-to-face. She agreed and they met as fast as they each could get there for this was their first in-person meeting. He pulled up in his truck and she got out of her car and walked toward him and he was floored. He knew she was beautiful but this was more. He jumped out of his truck and it felt like he floated toward her. If you were an onlooker you might think it was a scene out of a movie where the two lost lovers rush towards each other and embrace.
"Hello Captain, it's great to finally see you in person!" She smiles huge and blushes a shade of red that makes his cock hard.
"Hello Nurse Betty! It's more than great to see you in person." His smile mirrored hers and they couldn't take their eyes off each other. He reaches out and pulls her to him and they hug. It had been so long since he felt something like this. "God you're hot. I knew you were but you're even more hot in person. I need to hug you some more," He murmurs in her ear. "I want to touch you so bad," He whispers as his lips run down her neck and he inhales the scent of her hair.
"Touch me all you want," She answers breathily and moans as his hands move down her back and grasp her ass pulling her closer to him. She feels his hardness and digs her fingers into his back. Turning her head, she nuzzles against his neck and breathes him in. Her eyes flutter in arousal and her hands move over his body exploring him.
"Fuck, I want to kiss you. I need to feel your lips against mine so bad," He pulls back and places kisses along her jawline. She tilts her head and gives him access to her neck wanting him to give her more and wanting to give him more. To him that was the ultimate sign of submission, to bare one's neck to the alpha. His hands grip her harder and he growls in her ear.
