I grew up in this typical Midwest blue collar city. My dad worked at the local auto plant before he died while getting dressed for work one morning while my mom worked as a waitress at one of the local diners. This was a common thread with the majority of the people in this town. All my friends had the same type of story. We all grew up in brick bungalows or frame houses. Went to one of three of the local high schools, played football, baseball, basketball and then went to work at one of the local factories and married our sweethearts raised our own children and prepared them to follow the same path that our parents paved for us.
This is what was expected of us and very few of us deviated from this norm! Donât get me wrong â Nobody complained. Life treated us pretty good and my story is pretty much the same as my contemporaries â Until recently.
Iâm forty eight years old and got married to my childhood sweetheart when I was nineteen. I went to work at the local auto plant (just like dad) while Maria (the wife) worked at the local nursery (just like her mom!). Together we purchased our brick bungalow when we were twenty-four after the second of our three childred was born. I played softball until I was forty two and bowled twice a week. Friday nights are spent watching the local high school football team during the season and the rest of the social life consists of hanging at Rayâs tavern.
Ray sponsored our softball and bowling teams and just about any night of the week you could find us there. Us - consists mainly of myself, Zak who grew up across the street from me, Tommy, Chris, and Phil. We have known each other since kindergarten. We grew up with each otherâs wives and all our children have grown up with each other. If fact, there are some of us who have grandchildren!
While there are many others that hung out at Raysâ that was our bunch. One of the other regulars there is Tom Owen. Tom moved to town when we were in our second year of high school. Tomâs dad was the president of one of the local factories and was transferred here from Chicago. Now Tom was a piece of shit who always thought that he was better than us. He hated the fact that he had to move from Chicago to this back road town. In High School he never really met anyone up to his standards and therefore never really had any close friends. He was also one of the few who went off to collage and we were all shocked that when he graduated he moved back here with his collage sweetheart in tow. Of course, the fact that he had a cozy position waiting for him at Daddyâs factory was the persuading factor!
Anyway, for twenty some years we all did the same thing. Work, the kids, the house, the wives, softball, bowling, etc⊠Life was pretty good but at the same time it wasnât! You know â same old⊠Maria and I had a comfortable existence and a comfortable relationship. She was never really that close to the other girls and therefore never comfortable socializating as a group. In the latter years we stopped going out with the crowd altogether. Sex was a âfuck by the numberâ routine as I never could get her to go past the after eleven oâclock with the lights out routine. But still she was a good partner and we accepted our fate well and worked well within the framework.
In fact, financially we were doing FAR superior than all the others. We both took to the stock market very well and after many years turned five hundred into fifty thousand to seven figures plus. Now we were sitting very well, we brought our house so long ago that it was just about paid off. All the kids were gone from the house and out on their own - out of town. So there was Maria and I empty nesters - financially secure empty nesters before fifty! We didnât get crazy â no need to be ostentatious. I brought a new Ford while Maria brought a new SUV. She quit the nursery so that she could fix up the house the way she wanted it. I gave up overtime. Other than that nothing had changed. I didnât quit my job yet âIt was still something to do. Then Maria got sickâŠ
She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and went downhill very fast. Within nine months she was bedridden and died thirteen months after she first got sick. I was pretty lost after that. The kids offered to either move back home or let me move in with them but I didnât want any part of either scenario. But I did quit my job and took a part time job at the local hardware store just to keep busy. Other than that it was the same old â Bowling and Rayâs.
After six months Tom Owens wife started frequenting Rayâs more often. She was always what we called a MILF (Mother I Like to Fuck). She wasnât gorgeous, good looking but not beautiful, small tits with an ass that was getting bigger with the years but overall a very usable package and a face that aged very gracefully. Also, Vicky was never that uppity asshole that her old man was. Throughout the years Maria and I always got along pleasantly with her. We had found out that Tom was gambling very heavily and racking up a lot of debts. She started hanging around more often to keep him in line.
Then three months ago was a day that changed my life! It was a Saturday afternoon and I was at the local grocery store doing the weekly shopping when I meet Vicky. We exchanged pleasantries until she got a very serious look on her face. She proceeded to tell me that Tom was going to present a proposition to me and that no matter what it appeared to look like â It what was exactly what she wanted. She then turned and took a few steps away from me, stopped and turned around and said âIf fact I would be very disappointed if you didnât take him up on his offerâ.
Well needless to say I left the store full of wonder and remained that way for the next few days. On Thursday at the bowling ally Tom showed up and asked if I would stop by his house afterwards and that he need to talk to me about something. To be honest, If Vicky hadnât said anything I would have just blown him off. But there was something about her comments that me extremely curious!
After bowling I hung around as usual had had a few more beers before cursing home. I canât say that I was totally preoccupied by Tomâs proposition but I was sure as hell curious! In this town nothing is out of the way so I turned right out of the parking lot and arrived at Tom and Vickieâs house in about five minutes.
I sat in the parked car for a few minutes trying to anticipate what was about to happen. I kept on rehashing Vickieâs conversation at the store. âTom has a proposition for youâ. That scared the hell out of me, what the fuck would he want with me? But then Vickieâs other line âIf fact I would be very disappointed if I didnât take him up on his offerâ not only eased the fears but enticed me to see what the fuck was going on!
I walked up the stairs and was ready to knock on the door when Tom opened it up and invited me in. There was a lot of tension in the air and once again I didnât have a good feeling. Tom offered me a beer and a seat and got right down to business.
Tom started telling me about how he was in trouble â Big trouble. A few months ago he lost a couple of big bets and then tried to bet his way out of it. The bottom line was that he owed three bookies a total of sixty thousand and had to Saturday to come up with the cash.
I guess the look on my face said âwhat the fuck are you telling me this forâ because I said absolutely nothing. With just a second to catch his breath he added that I was the only one he know that could get that kind of cash on that short of a notice. This time I guess that I had a âwhy the fuck wouldâŠâ when he interrupted and said⊠âNot only are you the only one who would have that kind of cash â but you are one of the few who would be able to take advantage of what I have to barter.â
This time he had my attention. Again I thought back to the conversation in the grocery store. âIf fact I would be very disappointed if I didnât take him up on his offerâ is what she said. It canât be⊠âVickieâ he ordered, and Vickie came out of the bedroom in a beautiful sheer nightgown looking as good as Iâve ever seen her. She slowly walked in and stood in front of us. Her head down and she wouldnât look at either of us.
As beautiful as she looked it was easy to see how uncomfortable and embarrassed she was. My mind instantly raced back to the grocery store conversation âno matter what it appeared to look like â It what was exactly what she wantedâ. Now I was confused, apprehensive and thoroughly intrigued.
What Iâm about to offer you Tom piped in is the use of my wife for whatever purposes you desire for three months. For sixty thousand dollars my wife will be your slut, whore â what ever you want her to be. Hell â sheâll clean you house if thatâs what you want her to do! For three months, you can do what you want with her. After thee months the debt is paid in full!
When Tom said the words âslutâ and âwhoreâ Vickieâs body gave a little jerk and a second latter there was a small track of tears that came from the corner of he eye. Then there were a few moments of awkward silence.
Again remembering the conversation I looked up at hew and asked if this was true. I asked again if she would agree to what Tom had purposed. Without giving her a chance to answer the questions I asked her if she would fuck when I wanted, where I wanted, would she do what I wanted with whom or what I wanted?
For the first time that evening she raised her head â looked straight into my eyes and said âYESâ.
Now I was in shock. I didnât know what to think. My eyes left hers and moved to Tomâs. That mother fucker had this shit eating grin that made me want to kick him in the fuckin balls and then piss on him. How the fuck could he smile like that? After losing everything he was desperate enough to sell his own wife and still smirk like that. My hatred for the asshole was passed the point of contempt. I looked back at Vic and once again her eyes were firmly focused on the floor. When I looked back at the asshole he still had that fuckin smirk on his face. I jumped straight up in the air and turned for the door. âIâll think about it as reached for the handle.
It wasnât a plan at all. It was me being flustered and not knowing how to react but that action removed the smirk right off that mother fuckerâs face! âWaitâ he yelled â âWhat the fuckâs the problemâ he yelled as he reached for my arm in an attempt to stop me. âWaitâ was said again as he held me by the arm.
A grave concerned expressing replaced the smirk. A panic erupted in his voice as he tried to calm me down while he scrambled to figure his next step. I looked back a Vicky who was staring at me, a little smirk of her own developed on her lips. Unlike the one on her Old Man that had enraged me, this one was quite calming. Tom was just terrified now, stumbling over his words trying to do anything to convince me to go along with his plan. I looked back at Vickie as she winked at me and mouthed the words âpleaseâ. I looked back at Tom, square in the eyes and said âIâll think about itâ as I walked out the doorâŠ
