The sun rises over the western mountains and bathes the cities and towns nestled in Silicon Valley with a pinkish light. It promises to be another hot day but every house is armed with central air and swimming pools. It's the mid-90's and everyone is rich as the dot com boom begins to swell and money flows freely from venture capital firms all over the Valley.
In the sprawling suburbs of San Jose one can find many streets filled with cookie-cutter homes. Many homes have swimming pools out back and luxury cars in the front. On Shannon Road, there is no exception.
Tiffany wakes up with her husband every morning to make him coffee. That warm June morning is no exception as she enters the kitchen in her skimpy robe. Yawning, she takes two mugs out of the cupboard and pours the coffee. Her husband likes it black and she likes it very light. Outside the sprinklers have begun to water the neat lawn and she watches them for a while until Stan joins her at the table.
Stan wears his usual shirt and tie. His hair is impeccable and his face is tanned. He is old-fashioned and refuses to dress down like so many of the newer, younger executives in the Valley. Tiffany smiles at him as he quickly scans the paper. He is almost 15 years older than her, but he has treated her well and she knows it. They make small talk for a while until it's time to leave. He likes to get to the office in Cupertino early. The sun has just made its way over the mountains as he puts his Lexus into gear.
Tiffany yawns again but she won't be going back to bed. She wants to catch the early aerobics class at the gym before she gets her nails done. She makes her way into the large bedroom at the top of the stairs and changes into her workout clothes.
She is what most people describe as a knock-out. A native to Southern California, her hair is long and naturally blond. She has a pleasant face and a brilliant smile. Her body is very shapely and she never succumbed to breast implants. They are smallish, but firm and her husband adores them. The hard workouts each week have kept her trim and even a little muscular.
Tiffany's past is kept secret to everyone including her husband. When he met her while on a business trip, she was a cocktail waitress. What he didn't know was that she had made more than a few porno movies in her time. Although, at 32 and well in her past, she likes to keep it secret. She has a few of her best performances on tape hidden in their spacious house and every once in a while she watches them and relives those crazy days of sex and drugs.
Her appetite for sex is still strong and sometimes her husband can't satisfy. She never complains and makes sure she takes care of those needs herself. Tiffany has never cheated on her husband, but there are many ways to take care of those urges on your own.

As Tiffany heads to the gym, her good friend Darcy is driving the family's mini-van with her two daughters in the back. It's a typical day for them – school for the girls, then work out for mom. Darcy sips her coffee as she deftly navigates the streets to the school. The girls are quiet this morning and she's thankful for that. She is tired from staying up late – the insomnia has hit again.
She drops them off at school and waves good-bye and pulls away from the curb. She'll drag herself to the workout and then go home and relax by the pool. A smile forms on her lips as she remembers today is the day the pool guy stops by.
Darcy is a bleached-blond from Texas. She met her husband while he attended college in Austin. Not a good student herself, she quickly fell under his spell and soon after that dropped out. Her and Mike dated the whole time he was in school and as soon as he graduated, he proposed and they moved to California so he could begin working in the engineering field. He rose quickly through the ranks and they were able to move into a new house in a good neighborhood. Within 3 more years she had two kids and then the boredom set in.
Mike liked to work long hours leaving Darcy to her own devices. She never felt like she fit in with the other wives. Her Texas attitude stayed with her and sometimes other woman would get offended. Her only real friend was Tiffany who lived a few houses down. Tiffany never said a bad word and always laughed at Darcy's jokes. After a while Darcy confided to her friend about her affairs. Tiffany admitted to never cheating on her husband, but was sympathetic and even encouraged Darcy.
The affairs were nothing more than quick and anonymous sex. Darcy was a curvy, busty woman with a nice round ass and small waist. She meticulously kept up her appearance spending good money on nails, hair and skin. She worked out regularly with Tiffany and was proud of her looks after rearing two kids. Unfortunately Mike didn't notice as much so their sex life suffered and Darcy looked elsewhere. Never did she ever consider leaving Mike – the money and lifestyle were good and she had no intention of giving that up. Instead she had her adventures and kept them from her husband.
Darcy squeezes her legs together as she thinks about the pool guy. He's young, muscular and tanned, but she hasn't seduced him yet. She thinks today will be the day, but first the workout.
