Conner
Conner was thinking about sex. Well, that was normal enough, he's a guy, right? He was also thinking about his ex. That was normal, too: he'd received another high-handed, demanding letter from her lawyer; Ruth had decided to put the boys in a private school and he was supposed to pony up half the tuition and expenses. Damn that woman and that shark acting as her lawyer!
He loved the boys, Sam and Timothy, what were they, 10 and 8 now? And he shouldn't have cheated on Ruth, he could admit that, but this constant warfare wasn't doing him, her or their sons any good. It just meant more billable hours for their lawyers.
On an impulse he dialed her number; his call went straight to voicemail. "Ruth, it's Conner. I got your lawyer's letter. Listen, can't we discuss these things parent-to-parent and not involve the legal bloodsuckers? I know you've got every right to be angry with me but punishing me isn't helping Sam and Timothy. If you're willing to talk, call me."
He ended the call and found himself thinking about Ruth: her pretty face, her natural blond hair, her blue eyes, her womanly figure, still quite a looker at age 38. They'd had some wonderful times together, but he'd wrecked it all, hadn't kept his vows.
His phone buzzed, displaying Ruth's name and number; he quickly accepted the call. "Hi, Ruth, thanks for calling back."
"I'm not sure I should. My lawyer told me not to."
"Well, she'd be happy to bill us for every communication the two of us have with each other for the rest of our lives."
"And so would yours!"
"Exactly! They win, we lose. The boys lose."
"Conner, you're right about my being angry with you, but I have to admit that's not good for any of us. Are you willing to discuss private school for the boys?"
"Yes. Absolutely. I'm sure you've given it a lot of thought, I'd like to hear what you have to say, but can you allow me to ask questions, consider alternatives? We both want what's best for Sam and Timothy."
"That's good to hear. I think we should talk face-to-face. Can you spare the time?"
There was a bitter, accusatory tone there, but he understood and chose to let it go. "I'll make the time. Can you be here at ten?"
"I'll make the time. See you then."
Well! That went better than expected. He buzzed his secretary; "Karen, I'm meeting with Ruth from ten to eleven, absolutely no interruptions."
"Got it boss! Good luck with the ex."
That was perhaps a little too personal, but Connor and Karen were on easy terms with each other. A bit flirtatious at times but he wasn't eager to repeat the mistakes he'd made with Ruth: he fully intended to stay happily married to Tanya. OK, Tanya was the one he'd cheated with, she'd been his secretary, but he'd learned his lesson. Although he had to admit Karen was plenty cute enough if he did want to strayβ
oh, hell, don't go down that road!
Karen buzzed him back: "Boss, Darlene from Horn Tech wants to meet today, can I put her down for 2 o'clock?"
"Sounds good, Karen, thanks."
"No problem, Boss."
Darlene was a high-powered, no-nonsense executive with one of the firm's major clients; he could count on her to get straight to the point and expect a quick response. That thought set his pulse racing but he had a lot on his plate for the day so he took a deep breath and got himself under control.
Ten o'clock came quickly and Karen ushered Ruth into the office and closed the door so they could have privacy for their personal affairs.
"Hello, Ruth, you're looking well."
"Thanks, Conner, same to you."
"Have a seat and tell me about schools."
"OK, but do you have to sit behind that great big desk? It's rather intimidating."
"No, let me pull my chair around."
He did so and she began explaining the reasons she thought the boys should attend private school and the particular advantages of the one she'd selected. He found himself enjoying the sound of her voice, the movement of her pretty lips, the animation in her face, the curve of her breastsβwhoa there! He was getting a hard-on for the ex!
"So what do you think, Conner?"
He rolled his chair closer, grabbed her raven-haired head and pulled her in for a hungry kiss. She struggled briefly, then leaned in to return the kiss and hold him close. He reached behind her to unzip her dress and unhook her bra, pulled the dress off her shoulders, freed her luscious tits and transferred his mouth to one while he squeezed and fondled the other.
Ruth moaned, then unbuttoned his jacket and removed his tie. In short order they were naked and he pulled her into his lap.
God it felt good to ram his cock in and out of her hot, wet pussy! A convulsion ripped through her; he stifled her scream with one hand while holding her tight with the other and pumping spurt after spurt of cum into her vagina. They clung to each other, breathing heavily, before gradually calming down, separating, and looking at each other in disbelief.
"Ahh, I think I can agree to your proposal, Ruth."
"I'm glad, Connor. I, uh, you, oh my, umm, it's good not to be fighting?"
"Right. Yes. Definitely."
"So OK, I'll leave these papers with you. Take care."
"You, too. I'll see the boys Saturday."
Connor thought:
Unbelievable. I just cheated on my wife with my ex. The sex was terrific! But what the hell am I going to do now?
A call demanded his attention, then text messages, emails and other calls. Looking at the clock, he cleaned himself up, grabbed a quick sandwich in the lunch room, brushed his teeth and gargled with mouthwash just in time for Darlene at two pm on the nose. Karen closed the door after her.
"Hi Darlene, looking sharp as always, what can I help you with today?"
He admired her shoulder length, dark brown hair, large brown eyes, caramel-toned skin and brilliant smile. But she wasn't smiling at the moment.
