SIMONE PART 2
Not your typical cuckold

Seven thirty on Saturday evening I was standing at the door of Simone's apartment. My professional brain kicked in. The complex was typical, run down, low-income housing. The vinyl siding was cracked and faded. The eaves showed rot. A loud thump-thump sub-bass pulsed from somewhere nearby. The remaining Bradford pear trees lining the parking lot were bare and sickly. From the next building over I heard a woman screaming profanities.
I rang the doorbell. I was aware of a distinct chance I wouldn't come out of this without something broken.
The blond haired man who opened the door had biceps nearly the size of my thighs. He wore loafers and khakis and looked like an upside-down triangle. The fabric of his light blue polo shirt was stretched over the shape of his arm and chest muscles as if he might bust out of it any second.
Simone's husband was a couple of inches shorter than me, with a roundish, Nordic face pitted with acne scars and baby blue eyes. His face was blank and he stared at me without speaking. It was almost a weird psycho-killer vibe.
Forcing a smile, I thrust out my hand. "I'm Mike Hartley, Simone's stepfather. Actually her former stepfather." I laughed nervously. "You must be Vince. Simone's told me a lot about you."
He brought his hand up. At least he wasn't holding a fist. He shook my hand. I was surprised he didn't try to crush it. His hand was soft. He had a friendly shake.
"I'm sorry, Mike," he said. "It's just...I never...you know..."
I chuckled. "Yeah, I know. Awkward."
"Awkward. Yeah." He nodded. His lips curled upward as he he waved me in. "Come in and have a seat, Mike. Dinner's almost ready. I'm really glad--I mean, we're really glad, you know, me and Simone, too--we're really glad to meet you. I mean, Simone's already met you, and you're..." He looked me up and down with a pleased smile. "You're just like she said you would be, Mike. Is it okay if I call you Mike?"
"Yeah, Mike's fine.":
Stepping inside, I held my laughter in. It was easy to understand why he would be so nervous. What I didn't understand was the way he looked at me. It wasn't scary any more. If I didn't know better, I would have said he was thrilled to see me. I had seen a similar look on other types of men. Men whose wifes I'd also fucked.
When a grinning Simone came to me with a "Hi, Daddy!", I wasn't sure what to do, so I hugged her like a friend. She looked up at me with a knitted brow. Her lips came up for a soft and chaste kiss that lingered, briefly distracting me from my fear that I was about to be hit in the back of the head with a ten-pound barbell.
But Vince was standing there, a few feet off, watching. He looked confused. His hands were clinched at his waist. The knuckles were white.
Yeah, maybe this was a bad idea.
While Simone hurried to finish cooking, Vince took me on a tour of the small apartment. Their home smelled clean, but the carpets were worn, and blankets and sheets were laid over some of the furniture. Torn upholstery and scratched wood told a story of living on the edge. In the second bedroom, he showed off his pride and joy, a fancy workout studio with top-of-the-line weight machines. That equipment was easily worth three or four times the value of everything else they owned.
They didn't have any alcohol or soft drinks in the house. Vince sheepishly explained those were nothing but calories with no nutritional value. No coffee, milk, or tea either, only power juices and protein shakes. I accepted a water, no ice. He seemed pleased with that.
We sat in the living room and talked sports, especially football. His high school team had placed second in their state championships two years running. He played left offensive tackle, the 'blind side' guy who protected the quarterback.
Twenty years ago, I played linebacker on defense. I was one of the fast and determined guys the offensive tackle was supposed to keep away from his quarterback. My team won our state trophy all three years. I got a scholarship out of it.
Vince didn't mention why he didn't go to college. I didn't ask.
I liked the guy. His friendly manner wasn't over-the-top. It was obvious he was trying to make me feel comfortable, despite what I'd been doing with his wife. He didn't show any of the usual behaviors I associated with the high-strung cucks I knew, the 'trying-too-hard-to-please' and continuous sexual innuendo.
Dinner was roasted pork chops, steamed broccoli and roasted potatoes in the skin.
"It's about time you got a good, healthy meal for a change, Daddy." Simone had a quirky smile, and gave a sly shift of her eyes toward her husband.
The potato skins were the most tasty part of the meal. With butter and sour cream, they would have been outstanding. The pork chops had no seasoning and the broccoli was served with no sauce, not even butter or Parmesan. I understood why Simone enjoyed pizza and beer when she could get it. Vince ate double helpings. I managed to force down most of what was on my plate.
Our dinner conversation was lively but casual. We laughed and grumbled about politics. We were on the same page--all politicians are crooks and con men. I told them about a few of the high-class homes I'd built. Everybody agreed that some people had too much money while too many had not enough. Vince asked a lot of questions about all the different crews I managed.
He said, "Do you spend any time in a gym?"
"I get all the exercise I need on the construction site." I spent a couple of hours in the office every day, and the rest of the time I was on the move, lifting, moving, hammering, whatever needed to be done.
"You're a 'mesomorph' body type--average bone structure and high muscle to fat ratio. You should control your weight with equal portions of carbs, proteins, and fats in your diet. Cardio workouts like biking and swimming will help keep you trimmed up and improve your stamina."
Simone gave me a lusty look across the table and practically growled. "My Daddy doesn't have a problem with stamina."
She gasped and clapped her hand over her mouth. I had to laugh, and when Vince snorted, they both broke up, too. I think we all blushed
I had to agree with him, though. I could stand to lose an inch or two around the middle. Advising people on their fitness was his job so I didn't take offense. I was just glad he didn't try to talk me into entering one of those bodybuilder beauty pageants for men.
For about a minute everyone's head was down and the only sound was utensils clicking on plates.
Vince sat back in his chair and let out a breath. "I guess I'll go spend a few hours on the machines. What are your plans, Mike? You staying all night?"
Simone and I stared at each other. We were both surprised. I hadn't considered doing anything tonight.
I said, "I guess that's up to you."
"I can sleep on the couch. I crash there once or twice a week anyway, don't I Monie?"
