Maia Laaning Ch 24

Since Jed Baxter and Vivian Laaning were recognized by everyone at Maia's victory party celebration as an established couple, it was not surprising that they were the first couple to exit the party to the bedroom allocated for Vivian's stay at the hotel. Vivian had first met Jed Baxter when she was twenty-two and he was forty-three at the wedding of his cousin, Angela Black. Vivian was Angela's maid of honor, and he gave the bride away in lieu of Angela's deceased father. Consequently, they were paired together at the rehearsal dinner and also at the wedding reception.

As a result of their racy conversation at that dinner, an assignation was mutually arranged. The ensuing sexual activity proved to be so satisfactory for Jed that he gifted to Vivian a lifetime membership for Vivian to the TLR plus twenty free passes to attend periodically the club's scheduled orgies.

They both recognized that this tryst was a one night stand. However, a little more than four years later, after Maia had finished law school and was employed by Kirkland, Mayer & McDermott, premier Chicago law firm, they met again at a fund raiser event for the hospital in Chicago, the same one in which Maia was later destined to be born. From that meeting, they embarked on a rather torrid affair that lasted almost three years. As evidence of Jed's infatuation with Vivian he advanced, unasked, a substantial amount of money to help assist Erica to establish her nightclub/restaurant.

During this affair, Vivian was of the opinion that Jed would eventually tire of her and move on to another mistress. Therefore, Vivian decided if she was going to ultimately benefit from this relationship she might as well try to get pregnant by him. In any case, she wanted to become a mother as she believed it was as good a time as any in her life to get pregnant. Besides being a single mother was not an anathema to her. More importantly in her deliberations, was the notion that at least by giving birth, she would perforce become a significant woman in his life. This would distinguish herself from the plethora of the other women with whom he was having sexual relations because his wife, Felicia, was frigid and did not enjoy sex. Positively, Jed was a man Vivian couldn't help but admire enough and who she believed would make a great father to her child. Consequently, she did not utilize any birth control protection throughout the affair, but she didn't get pregnant.

Felicia became alarmed at the intensity of this affair, and its prolonged duration. There seemed to be no end in sight. More unsettlingly was the fact that he was exclusive with Vivian during this entire time. Vivian was even his plus one for some public functions, which she for one reason or other reason was unable to attend; Vivian was the only woman to have ever been accorded such partiality. On such occasions when with Vivian in lieu of Felicia, his explanation to all and sundry who might ask, was that Vivian as an attorney at the law firm he retained for his business, was the suitable ideal substitute for his wife who unfortunately could not attend the particular event in question.

Given such disturbing developments, Felicia, arranged a luncheon date with Vivian in an attempt to induce Vivian to quit seeing Jed. Vivian was not dissuaded by Felicia's assertion that Jed would not end their marriage, because Vivian was content to remain as his permanent mistress. Likewise, the suggestion that Jed would eventually move on to another mistress held no sway in Vivian's mind as she was prepared to accept such possibility. However, when Felicia then advised that Jed had undergone a vasectomy operation, it was that fact that induced Vivian to end the affair.

To ensure that Vivian would quit her affair with Jed, Felicia invited her to a cocktail party where Vivian could meet some eligible bachelors. There Vivian met Sam Crawford who was the CFO of Baxter & Sons. She subsequently became pregnant by him, and so married him, but he was arrested for embezzlement within a couple of hours after they had exchanged their wedding vows. Sam was murdered four days later in jail while awaiting his trial, and so Maia was subsequently born fatherless. Vivian was also fired from her law firm, since Baxter & Sons was a very important client of the firm, and thus. it was an unforgivable conflict of interest for Vivian to represent Sam, notwithstanding that she was married to him.

After such tragic turn of events in her life, Vivian, with Maia in tow, went on a vacation to Estonia and met Eino Tarvas, with whom she married after a few dates. Consequently, Estonia became Vivian's new country of residence, and as a result Maia became mainly an Estonian citizen despite having been born in the United States.

Jed's wife was frigid as a consequence of suffering continuous sexual abuse by her own father, starting from when she was eight years old, and ending only upon his death when she was sixteen. In addition, Felicia had been gang raped by three high school class mates when she was seventeen. Although she pressed rape charges, at the subsequent trial her rapists were acquitted. Their allegations that the sexual activities in question were consensual was believed over her testimony. Not surprisingly, with such a horrific experience in her past, Felicia had developed a strong aversion to sex, which absolutely subdued her natural libido.

Although Felicia never refused to having sex with Jed, and they did have two children from the marriage, she was never aroused, nor did she ever display any enthusiasm. In emotion, it was a hundred and eighty degrees opposite to the joy he always experienced in his sexual trysts with Vivian. As a result, Felicia and Jed came to an agreement, whereby Felicia would overlook his adulteries and so their occasions for marital sex became increasingly infrequent. After Felicia had successfully engineered the break-up of Vivian's affair with Jed, she realized how close she had come to losing Jed, so she became even more vigilant.

Felicia believed that so long as Jed did not confine himself to one particular woman for a prolonged period of time her marriage was safe. But right after his three year fling with Vivian, Jed took up an exclusive affair with Vera Starikovich, the forensic accountant who Jed had hired and who uncovered Sam's embezzlement scheme which he had engineered while he was the CFO at Baxter & Sons. Felicia realized it was a close call in averting the affair with Vivian. She knew she had to do something desperate to avoid losing Jed because of her inability to participate in sex with genuine joy and exuberance.

Consequently, once she learned that Jed had become exclusive with this Ms Starikovich, she knew she had to rid herself of her aversion to sex. Accordingly, Felicia consulted a sexologist specializing in sexual dysfunction. After several months of determined therapy and special sexual exercises, Felicia was able to provide Jed with a surprise present for their seventeenth wedding anniversary: herself!

With the benefit of her dysfunction therapy, Felicia was indeed able for the first time in her life to be sexual and more importantly she learned how to enjoy herself! As a result, Felicia and Jed had the best sex they ever had that night and as a result Jed unceremoniously dumped Ms Vera Starikovich as his mistress. Then for about six months Jed and Felicia were monogamous, Jed didn't even attend a TLR orgy, although he remained a member.

Apparently though, Felicia's new found hot sexual desires did not last. Having gotten rid of Vera Starikovich as a threat to her marriage with Jed Baxter, her main impetus for engaging in enthusiastic sex had dissipated. At least she no longer found sex distasteful, and she no longer acted woodenly during her sexual intimacy with Jed. Still her main focus and interest in her life had to do with being Jed's wife and all that it entails considering his prominence.

As Jed's wife, Felicia was heavily involved in a myriad of charity works and other equivalent high societal functions. Such activity kept her mind occupied that as a result her sexual interest was secondary. Except for that anniversary night Felicia never initiated sexual acts with Jed. Her attitude or desire for sex was akin by analogy to her love for classical music. She enjoyed attending concerts of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and she and Jed had box seats for the season performances at Orchestra Hall. But if she missed a particular concert, it was a no never mind as she had other joys in her life; sex with Jed being among them.

For Jed, it became obvious that Felicia had turned a one-eighty as to her enthusiasm while engaging in sex; certainly, she was no longer frigid. Nevertheless, there was something lacking in her sexual passion; it was like an absence of a joie de vivre in her comportment. He kind of sensed she took equal pleasure if not more so in other activities in which she liked. Mind you, he could not really complain since most of his flings with other women in the past provided no better sexual gratification as what he now enjoyed with Felicia. That in essence was the reason why he became monogamous for a time as he adhered to his wedding vows of fidelity.

However, Jed's brief time of exclusive sex with his wife lasted only a year. He happened to have met Carmen Kass in London, UK during a high fashion exhibition event. Ms Kass was an Estonian international super model and a counterpart contemporary friend of Gisele Bündchen, an equivalent international model and the ex wife of Tom Brady, the NFL all time super star quarterback. Jed had met Carmen through mutual business associates, and so he had various previous dealings with Carmen partnering with her in some business enterprises and ventures.

Naturally as was his custom, Jed had made in the past flirtatious overtures to Carmen to engage in some hot sex. Taking no offense, Carmen had always previously refused his inducements. She was in a long time relationship with her boyfriend, who was a German chess grand master, whom she had become acquainted with during her tenure as president of the Estonian Chess Federation. Apparently on this occasion, Ms Kass at the time was at odds with the said boyfriend, and thus was easily susceptible to the seduction ploys of the charming, wealthy Jed Baxter.

The ensuing sex with Carmen was out of this world, unbelievably passionate and fully lustful. He couldn't help but be reminded of his incredible hot and passionate affair with Vivian. In fact, during their pillow talk in the interval between their sexual activities, Jed was compelled to say, "You know Carmen you are not the first Estonian woman whom I've had the pleasure to bed. And she was just as hot and just as sexy in bed as you've been. I wonder if there is something in the water to make you Estonian females so alluring."

Carmen was certainly surprised by this information, so she had to ask, "Oh really? I can't imagine that you had even met another Estonian woman never mind having the opportunity to having sex with them. As it is, there's no denying that it is something of fortuitous happenstance that we know each other. So, who is this other Estonian woman?"

Jed answered, "Her name is Vivian Laaning and she is actually, not really an Estonian, but an American who grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. However, in growing up she spoke in Estonian exclusively with her father as well as with her Estonian paternal grandparents who had immigrated as refugees to the United States as result of the aftermath of World War II."

Carmen reacted, "Oh wow! She's a farmer's daughter? How then did you get to meet this 'Estonian'* woman?" (*air quote)

"I first met her at my cousin's wedding whereby I was the nearest male relative to give my cousin away in substitution for her deceased father. Vivian was the maid of honor and as a result we were paired off at the rehearsal dinner and at the wedding reception table. We had some beautiful sex then, but realistically I believe we both were aware that it was a one night stand. She was an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin at that time while I was forty-two years at the time. Obviously we congregated in different social circles."

Carmen opined. "The sex must have been truly great if you can still remember her, or was it because she had unusual Estonian ancestry that induced you to recall her?"

Jed replied, "I guess I would have eventually forgotten her had that been the only occasion of my being with her. But I met Vivian again about four and a half years later in Chicago."

Carmen asked, "Oh? The plot thickens. So, how did you happened to meet her again?"

Jed explained, "It was a charity fund raiser for a hospital in Chicago which my company sponsored and supported. The event featured a unique way to raise extra monies for the hospital from the attendees of this charity gala. There was presented for the viewing pleasure, a stunning demonstration of the tango dance performed by the premier tango dance instructor from Argentina, who as a resident in Chicago owned and operated a ballroom dance studio specializing instruction of the tango and other Latin dances

In this demonstration, the partner for the dance instructor happened to be Vivian who was considered to be his most prized competent student.

"After the demonstration tango dance, which by the way was very spectacular and truly erotically passionate, that took my breath away, the ladies were allowed to enter into an auction with the highest bidder given the opportunity to dance with the dance instructor. Then the men participated in an auction with the highest bidder getting to dance with Vivian. Naturally, I was the highest bidder and so I thereby renewed my acquaintanceship with Vivian Laaning."

Carmen interjected, "So, you had a second one night stand with this 'Estonian'* woman?" (*air quote)

Jed replied, "It turned out to be more than that. I learned that she had gone on to the law school at the University of Chicago and had become an attorney with the law firm my company retained for our legal needs. As we were now in the same social circles it became seemingly natural for us to enter into an intense relationship especially since she was truly a lustful sexy woman."

Reacting in a typical feminine pique, Carmen coyly asked, "Oh really? Sexier than me? Can you elaborate?"

Jed answered diplomatically, "Not necessarily sexier than you, my dear sexy Carmen, as you're circumspect, but instead she was outrageous in her sexual appetite. She had acquired twelve tattoos each replicating the German flag carved on one of her upper thighs and twelve more tattoos of the Estonian flag carved on her other thigh."

Carmen observed, "That certainly is rather singular, but how does that translate into your assertion that she was outrageously sexy?"

Jed replied, "It turns out that those twenty-four individual flag tattoos were to commemorate a gangbang in which she had submitted to lasting twenty-four consecutive hours. Each flag represented an hour of her gangbang, with different partners for each hour. Half of the tattoos being replicas of the German flag represent the fact that her mother was a German, born in Germany no less. The Estonian flag tattoos represent her Estonian ancestry. On each flag tattoo, the starting hour of a particular episode was listed on the top horizontal stripe and on the middle stripe the initials of her partner for that respective hour were listed."

Carmen merely observed, "That sure does sound like she was outrageously sexy all right. You got to admire her stamina all right. So how many times did you fuck her all told?"

Jed replied, "It was actually an affair that lasted almost three years. But then suddenly while I was on a business trip in Japan, Vivian for no reason that I was aware of decided to end our affair and I have never seen her again. She disappeared such that as far as I can tell she no longer lives in Chicago."

Carmen gasped, "Wow! That's quite a curious story indeed. From what you have previously told me, that your wife is frigid and that is why you have had several girlfriends. But these flings of yours don't last very long. My case with you must be typical in that we seldom are in the same place at the same time. I've been to the United States rarely and never in Chicago. You have been infrequently in Europe and never in Estonia. As a result, tonight has been a special night unlikely to repeat again, although I admit if we're ever to meet again I can guarantee that you won't have any difficulty into getting into my pants again."

Jed laconically replied, "Good to know."

After that rendezvous with Carmen, Jed resumed to periodically having sex with other women, and to attend the occasional TLR orgy. He still had sex with Felicia as paradoxically he was actually in love with her. Although their sex life was enjoyable enough unlike the case during the early years of their marriage, he did not sense the presence of the magic of a super emotional passion. The sexual encounter with Carmen naturally reminded him of his time with Vivian Laaning. That remembrance caused Jed to realize with some regret that all the sex he had experienced with Vivian was of a more intensive and passionate nature than any sex he had with other women including Felicia, his wife, notwithstanding her newfound awakening of her dormant sexual desires.

Ah, but fate had once again intervened to bring Vivian and Jed back together yet again. About six years after Vivian had broken off their affair and five years after his tryst with Carmen Kass, Jed happened to find himself in Tallinn on a business venture. After an initial formal business meeting with some potential Estonian business partners, during a casual get-together afterwards, one of the Estonians induced him to try a new craft beer called Vivian's Brew. It was produced locally in a farmer's basement but by word of mouth advertising touting its appeal, it had become in heavy demand throughout Estonia.

The Estonian businessman intimated that this would be an ideal opportunity for Jed to engage in a possible successful business venture in Estonia. The establishment of a brewery to mass produce this beer would surely succeed in Estonia and perhaps elsewhere in Europe. He further advised that the owner of this craft beer enterprise was Vivian Laaning who was a farmer's wife but also was a politician and member of the Riigikogu (Estonian Parliament).

Jed Baxter was naturally taken aback by this information. Could this be his Vivian Laaning or was that just a coincidence? So he casually asked, "Is this Vivian Laaning perhaps an American?"

The answer was, "Why yes she was born in the United States, but she has Estonian ancestry and came to live in Estonia some five years ago. She became an Estonian citizen almost automatically given the circumstances of her background."

Of course, Jed was buoyed by such information as it had to be his Vivian. The information coincided nicely with the reality that Vivian had disappeared from Chicago after her ill fated marriage. The Estonian businessman was able to provide Jed with Vivian's contact number. When Jed dialed the number and Vivian answered, the mutual recognition was ascertained and a dinner date for that night was unhesitatingly agreed upon.

As soon as they met at the restaurant, they each were cognizant of the existence of a sliver of mutual attraction for each other which had remained lastingly present in their souls. Further evidence of this feeling was visibly confirmed by Vivian's dress. It was a silver sequin long sleeve faux wrap evening dress. Shiny silver sequins were interlaced across the black mesh overlay. The shape of the dress had a surplice neckline, with a fitted bodice, which allowed for a generous naked glimpse of her ample cleavage. For a touch of modesty, the dress contained long sleeves. A banded waist topped a faux-wrap tulip like skirt that ended with a knee-grazing hem.
