As always I'd like to thank my friend Laura for her help.
I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude. To hmphill of the volunteer editors. Without the time and effort of hmphill I doubt this story would have been submitted.
It was hard to pin down when the affair began between Jane Carroll and Paul Dicostanzo. The fact that it even started and blossomed into what it had become was against all odds.
Jane Carroll was a college educated woman. She was socially connected. She was blonde and beautiful. She and her first husband had spent time in the Hamptons, Malibu, and the Côte d'Azur. Jane was the more sexually adventurous of the two. She was currently in her second marriage yet maintained her ongoing affair with Paul.
Paul Dicostanzo was a plumber by trade. He was married to the same woman for just over thirty years. He loved his wife deeply but she was very sexually conservative. Paul's affair with Jane served as his sexual outlet. Otherwise his marriage probably would have been over years ago.
Paul was 57 years old now; Jane was two years older. Their affair had started when they were in their 30's. Paul was doing work on a next door neighbor's home. Jane had noticed him and thought him attractive. She wrote down the business number on the side of his work van.
The next time Jane and her husband needed some plumbing work, Jane called Paul's business number. She mentioned that she had seen his truck in the neighborhood and spoken to the neighbors about his work.
Paul and Jane's first meeting didn't lead to torrid sex. No, it was almost a year and a half after they first met before they had their first sexual encounter. They both would throw out the occasional double entendre. What really began their whole affair was Paul trying to defuse it.
