Cruising into Trouble
This is the ninth of "The Pru Chronicles." Although much of the story is embellished, some more liberally than others, there is an element of truth woven throughout. Only one of the Chronicles is fully fiction, and one other is based on very real conversations that were leading to the events described but stopped short. Otherwise, yeah, some of this is true...
Pru is a beautiful, vivacious, blue-eyed, blonde. She is 41 years old and married 18 years when this chapter begins. As a mother of 2, she may no longer have the athletic body of a dancer, but she's still a knockout and the classic embodiment of a MILF. Her rededication to being a "good girl" lasted a few years the last time. After some adventures with her best friend's husband (Ch 07, "New Beginning, Familiar Finish"), she thought she might finally make it. That lasted until she started working for Gary (Ch 08, Still Not Over It), where one thing led to her thing...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to feeling estranged from her husband, Sean, Pru fully embraced her affair with her boss. Gary was a hulking cowboy who ran his own construction company. It hadn't taken them long to give in to their mutual attraction, and during their latest sexual romp, they schemed about taking a short cruise as a way to be together for more than an hour or two and away from prying eyes.
At the office complex they shared with Pru's old boss, Carol, Pru saw the old gal watching from her window, so she stopped in to make plans for the cruise that Carol and Gary had cooked up. As Pru walked in, Carol raised an eyebrow and coughed out a smoker's laugh, "I knew you two were going to be trouble, young lady. So, tell me, is he that big everywhere?"
Pru smiled and feigned innocence, "Trouble? How do you mean? And what makes you think I'd know how big he is
everywhere
?"
"Uh huh. Listen, I've been around the block too many times. You can't fool me, little girl," Carol said with a sneer. "Besides, I don't care. It's your business what you do and who you do it with. But I think you should be a little more careful to keep it in private. Besides the way you two look at and touch each other - which most employers and employees don't do the way you two do. And you probably ought to not be sitting practically in his lap when you drive up here."
"Oh shit! I forgot, oops!" Pru said. No longer pretending, she added, "I hope Karen hasn't noticed. That's all we need." Karen was Gary's sister-in-law and his accountant.
Carol nodded, adding, "And trucks have windows, you know. Karen ain't the only one who could see you two gallivanting around."
Pru sighed, "Ok, ok. Message received, damn it. We'll be more careful. Speaking of which, let's plan this come-fuck-me cruise you've cooked up for us both!" Both women burst into laughter, then got down to planning.
When they were finished and Pru was leaving to go back to her office, she opened the door and, "This little cruise idea sounds fun, if it doesn't land us both in divorce court. And yes, he
is
that big everywhere and knows how to use it!" The door slammed behind her as Carol launched into another laughing and coughing fit.
The conversation at home with Sean went surprisingly easily, probably because they were already in another troubled patch anyway. He just shrugged, "Whatever. Sure, go on a vacation with someone else. Why not?"
Although Pru got the answer she wanted, she still didn't like his tone. She said, "Why do you have to say it like that? It's just Carol trying to be nice because I used to work for her. It's only three days, and she's paying for it."
He sighed, "I already said yes. Take the yes and leave it alone."
Which she did, and she left him alone in bed that night and the rest of the week. She also started buying a few things for the trip: sexier underwear, low cut and backless shirts, shorter shorts, some short skirts, and a thong-bikini. If she was doing this, she was going to do it right and stun Gary. She also started laying out in the sun in the back yard in the afternoon after work and over the weekend. The following week she went bolder, deciding to surprise Gary by sunning topless and minimizing the tan lines.
Early the next week, Pru was in the office early, hoping to catch Gary and give him an idea of what she had in store for him on their cruise. When he walked in, she followed him to his desk talking a mile a minute. He just laughed and wrapped his arms around her, glad to hear her sound as excited as he felt about the time they would have together.
She closed her eyes and hugged him tightly. When she looked up again, he kissed her before she could say another word, and then said, "Good morning to you too, Pru!"
"Well, it is now," she gushed and kissed him again.
They were well into exploring each other's mouth when they heard someone clear their throat. There stood Karen, whose entrance they had clearly been too distracted to notice. Her arms were crossed, lips clenched, and eyes narrowed. She shook her head and went to her desk.
Pru and Gary looked at each other in shock before realizing they were still holding each other. They broke apart and went in different directions, anxious to get to work and pretend this didn't happen. That strategy appeared to work, and Karen didn't say a word about it to either of them. In fact, she didn't say a word about anything for the rest of the day.
That evening after work, Sean answered the door to find Gary standing there. The big man looked uncomfortable when he spoke, "Hey Sean. I have some work stuff to talk with Pru about. Is she here?"
