Jack sat in his frustration while at the department head meeting. Everything that was being said at the table went in one ear and out the other until it came to her voice. "The reason why we are so packed is be 51/50 calls are directly routed to us." She spoke from frustration but that was the thing he liked most about her. She was passionate and firey. Everything she ignited within him.
The meeting was called and the overworked doctors rose to their feet. Jack stood by the door patiently as the others exited. Maureen trailed in the back discussing health field politics with a colleague. "Excuse me," she halted at the door with her companion on her side "M-may I talk to her alone." His voice came off sharp at the end. As a result of them spending so much time with one another, there were moments when he felt comfortable speaking up. Maureen nodded for the man to leave, gently touching his shoulder and saying "Catch you later." Her playfulness seeping out. Which he thought should only be reserved for him.
"Yes Jacky?" They were alone now and he found himself locking the the closed door.
He reached in for a kiss. Suckling on her lips as if he was an infant at her tit. Uninterested, she did little to carry on their kiss. "Maureen, stop it." His voice sounding juvenile. He broke off holding her by her shoulders. She was rejecting him. He knew it all too well. Being married to a woman that refused to acknowledge him. Now it seemed she was doing the same.
Her face stayed still and detached from the situation. It hurt Jack to see her so void of emotion. Especially since most of his free time was spent impaling her on his cock. She caressed the worry from his forehead. He savored her touch. It seems like lately she wasn't interested in their intimacy. He reached in again to kiss her but this time with more force. Maureen let a shriek out before allowing him the taste of her tongue. Oh how he loved her velvet tongue. He clasped her round ass in both hands beginning to grind his hips into hers.
"Jacky," his kisses were becoming harsh and possessive "come now we're at work." That hadn't stopped her before. Soliciting his attention with lustful text messages or caressing his thigh with her foot under tables. Jack ventured on, his hardened cock evident through his slacks. She clutched on to his throat, squeezing slightly. He retracted his tongue from her mouth. A thin line a of saliva still connecting them. Hurt grew in his eyes. He could sense something was different about her.
"Jacky I'm just not up for it," she started gradually letting go of his throat "I'll text you later." Two words that he didn't fully understand "text" and "later". At 34 years old, Jack wasn't privy to new crazes. So when texting became the primary nuance of communication it made him feel old. Later for her was also new to him. It could mean an hour from now or several hours from now. Or perhaps her favorite time, 2am. Regardless Jack would be up. For her, he would.
She caressed the hardened staff that edged out from his pants. Giving it a little squeeze as she walked out of the room. He moaned, her hand feeling like a vice grip. When her hand left, the pleasureful pressure evaporated and he was left alone.

Jack never rushed home. It had become a desolate land mine of hostility and annoyance. On her part more than his. His SUV pulled up to the driveway of their shared suburban home.
Why not get a divorce
, he thought before killing the engine. Alice and Jack had no kids together, so it made less sense for them to be together. Although they clearly were over their relationship, Jack tried from time to time. But his continuous rejection made it hard for him.
"I'm home." He tried to make his statement sound gleeful. Alice was in the kitchen probably fixing another bland spaghetti dinner. He set his bags on the side of the wall and hung up his coat. "How was your day?" He walked towards the kitchen with no answer from her. Jack found his way behind her. Entangling her waist with his arms and pulling her to his chest. She huffed at his spatial intrusion. He pressed on, hoping this sign of affection would rekindle their fire. He pressed his mouth to her ear, nibbling at the lobe.
Alice tried to shrug him off. Her attempts at isolation were fading to the back of his mind. "Let me love you Alice." He reached around to cup her small breast through her sweater. Her elbow jabbed him painfully into his ribs. He clutched them scornfully "Alice what the hell." He had raised his voice a small octave. Not even a mouse would be fearful of him. Ego and ribs bruised he retreated to the safety of his bathroom.
He wasn't sure what hurt more, the rejection of his wife or the blow she dealt to him. He clutched his face in despair. Why would she neglect him? Why would she stay? But more importantly, why would he. It was times like this where his one indulgence would help him through situations like these. He reached into the pocket of his slacks to fish out his phone. No text message from her yet. He would reached out to her one more time and this time he would make it risky. The text read: "You're such a nice cockhold." The words felt awkward as he wrote them. He hit send before he could change his mind. Often times than not, she had explained to him how meekish he was at times and how he needed to put himself out there. That's what he tried to do in the kitchen and look where that got him.
Before he could even place his phone on the counter an alert came through. A picture attachment from Maureen. He opened it eagerly hoping to be his light at the tunnel. It was her bare pussy on a marble counter. She always looked so moist in photos, even when she was not wet. He clutched his phone hoping the image would come to life. He could only imagine her tiny body perched up on his bathroom counter. Legs spread open as she played with her breast. He loved to see her pussy glisten from the lights. Making greedy noises as he played with her.
Jack's cock began to rise with the thought of her. His phone rang again. The text read: "Come get your pussy from Gypsy's." Jack jumped at the chance to see her. He retreated back to the front door. Taking one last look at Alice, still cooking in the kitchen, he closed the door behind him.
Maureen stood on the curb of the restaurant. The city was alive with heat from the summer's sun. Her small maxi skirt rising up as she paced back and forth waiting. Her eyes actively scanning the street for his car. She had been distant lately. Feeling like he needed more than what she could give. A single sigh escaped from her mouth. The breeze from him pulling up to the curb sent ripples through the fabric of her shirt. She climbed into the car with little hesitation. Jack told himself to stay cool, to be how she wanted him to be. He pulled off from the curb and began to drive.
"Thank you Jacky." She added a sweetness to his name. He nodded trying to hide a goofy smile. He loved getting appraisals from her. Her hand covered his on the gear shift. Her head leaning against his shoulder as he drove.
"You were very mean to me these past days." He noted keeping his eyes forward. She knew his words were true but didn't have any need to confirm them. She had used him as a chew toy. Disregarding his texts. Not returning his calls. Even going above and beyond to have lunch with other men. She was indeed neglecting him. She nestled into his arm more. The hand that was on the gear shift drifting to his inner thigh.
"I'm sorry Jacky," her sweet voice sent chills down his spine "I have been a bad girl to you. How can I make it better?" Her hand was now on his crotch. Jack exhaled deeply, her tenderness is all he ever wanted from her. He gave her question some thought. He could ask her to go down on him but he thought that would bore her. Plus he might wreck the car from that distraction. Maybe asking her on a date but didn't this count as one.
Be spontaneous
, he thought to himself.
"I want you..." he cleared his throat. Her hand playing on his most intimate area. "I want you to get a tattoo." Jack's words must have sparked interest in her because she looked from her position on his arm. He had thought about their first time together in her apartment and how after, when they were dressing, she spoke of a book series that she had adored as a kid. "I want you to get the VFD eye tattooed on your ankle like Count Olaf." Her lips pressed into a smile. He had remembered a small detail about her. That was worth something.
"Fine." She has agreed without hesitation. "But I want you to get it with me Jacky. It'll be our thing."
Our thing.
