Author's note: Apologies for the long delay between chapters. Life got in the way for a little while.
Also, a little bit about my writing "style." I usually write a couple chapters in advance before publishing. I had written one chapter and part of a second when I realized my story line was beginning to "jump the shark." Realism has always been an important part in this. I had always made "Greg" an incredibly lucky guy at the salon, but I was now writing next to impossible scenarios. I didn't like it.
This next chapter has very little to do with the salon, but it's all part of the story arc to bring this to a conclusion in another couple of chapters. I hope it's worth the wait.
Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

I hooked up with my -ex again. Actually, it seemed a little more like she hooked up with me.
I had just finished dinner alone one Friday evening and was about to veg out in front of the TV for a few hours. A knock on the front door changed all those plans.
"Hello!" I said, my voice displaying the surprise I felt inside. Normally, there's at least a couple texts if not a phone call leading up any sort of meeting between the two of us.
"Hi Greg! Mind if I come in?" she asked. There was slight hesitation in her voice; the kind she gets when she's had a couple drinks. And to my surprise, she held a bottle of champagne. She had an overcoat that was bound tightly around her waist and a pair of black high heels. She looked as lovely as ever.
"Of course! Come on in," I said as she started to walk past me. "Are we celebrating something?"
"I was celebrating a big settlement my firm just received," she said as she placed the bottle on a nearby side table, "I wanted to get out of there before I had done too much celebrating." A huge smile broke out on her face. The smile I had once fallen in love with.
"Let me take your coat for you," I said, extending an arm out. She loosened the belt of her coat and allowed it to slip off her shoulders. She wore a white, silk blouse and a navy blue skirt that fell a couple inches above her knees. I had seen this outfit before; normally there's a blue blazer that accompanied the skirt. I did not mind its absence.
My -ex walked into the kitchen and gave me a few details on the events of the day. She glossed over most of the information about the settlement knowing it usually held little interest in me. As I opened the champagne, she told me about the bonuses received and the celebration at the firm that afternoon. A celebration that included champagne.
"If I had stayed any longer, I wouldn't have been able to drive away," she said, though I wasn't sure in the she should have been behind the wheel to begin with. "But I wanted to keep celebrating, so I snagged a bottle and came here. I really hope you don't mind."
"Not at all," I said as I finished pouring a couple glasses of champagne. I offered her a glass. "Cheers! And congratulations."
We clinked glasses and sipped. My over-analytical mind began to start processing this chain of events. Why celebrate with me? What's going on here? I tried to block all that out and just enjoy the moment.
"Let's have a seat in the living room and make ourselves comfortable," I said.
I grabbed the bottle of champagne and followed my -ex out of the kitchen. In the living room, she positioned herself in front of the couch, slipped her heels off and took a seat next to the arm rest with her feet curled up next to her. In front of the couch was a fireplace with a TV above the mantle. I turned off the TV, which had been tuned in to a basketball game and offered to build a fire. She took me up on the offer and watched as I got it going quickly with a little newspaper, some kindling and a couple logs. I glanced back a couple times at my -ex; with her legs curled up she was showing considerably more thigh. It looked as though she had thigh-high stockings on, but it was tough to tell in the dim lighting; it could have been just the hem of her skirt. Either way, it was incredibly distracting. So was the bulge that was beginning to grow in my pants.
By the time I finished making the fire my -ex was ready for a refill. She gladly accepted. I took a seat in a reclining chair next to her. But instead of leaning back, I sat near the edge of the seat so I could better look her over. Something was different about this visit. As I've said before, we've seen each other in the past and had even hooked up a few times. But this just felt... different.
After some small talk about our kids and my job, we found ourselves with an empty bottle of champagne.
"Care for some wine?" I asked as I got up from my seat.
"Actually, what I could really use is a foot rub," my -ex told me with a sly grin on her face. I had given her lots of foot rubs in the past. It was the one thing I could count on for her to forget her job for a while.
I walked to the other end of the couch. I grabbed two throw pillows; one I handed to her to rest hear head on, the other I used to prop her feet up on my thigh. My cock began to stir a little more.
As I was sitting down, my wife scooted down on the couch to recline a little more. However, her skirt did not scoot down with her. Instead, more thigh was exposed and it was now clear she was wearing thigh highs. "I'm a sucker for thigh highs and she knows it," I thought to myself.
My -ex grabbed the remote and turned the TV back on while I began rubbing and caressing her feet. I don't think she noticed, but at one point I rocked to one side to straighten out the erection I had grown.
