Warning: Those of you who don't care for my other stories certainly won't like this.
Note on names
: In this story I have always referred to the Government minister only as 'John' but even that was not his real name. Also my wife's given name is Deborah but she likes Debbie, Debs and Deb. The only version of her name that she used to dislike is Debra.

I always considered myself to be one of those individuals especially favoured by life. Most people have some attribute in which they excel with this compensating for deficiencies elsewhere but I am fortunate in having almost the full set. I have a pleasing face and for a long time believed I was six foot tall but now admit to being some fractions of an inch short of that magic number. My physique is sound without any real effort by me, although the odd game of squash can't do any harm. Most importantly I have an acute intelligence which gained me a first class honours degree at Oxford and has enabled me to start building a rewarding career.
Over the years I have never had any trouble finding willing women and none had reason to complain about my above average seven plus inches cock. And almost without exception they have been eye catching females. Very early on I noticed that exceptionally attractive girls seem to intimidate the majority of males so that at dances, when the floor was soon filled with their lesser favoured sisters; the real beauties were left playing the wallflower role. I had no such qualms and stepped in to be often well rewarded for my efforts. With no need to lower my standards, I convinced myself that only the best were good enough for me.
I met Debbie through work and to begin with even I was tongue-tied by her beauty. She is one of the worlds few truly beautiful women, with a slim well rounded body and fabulous legs completing the package. Her intelligence has the edge on my own. She took a double degree, majoring in politics with research as the minor and getting top class passes in both. We met when she had just started working for a research firm that specialised in work for the houses of parliament.
Our first meal out was on expenses but at the end of the evening I suggested a further date and it was accepted. Debbie was a passionate kisser but I made no attempt to take things further and even after two weeks and four further dates I still had only managed a few gratuitous feels of her body during embraces. She looked so untouched that I was frightened of seeming pushy and ruining everything. Late that evening, back at her exclusive riverside development flat, she took control by saying, "You can have me if you want." It was like tapping into a volcano.
After six months we were spending four or five nights together every week, either in my small flat or her more luxurious place. Besotted I suggested that we should move in together but Debbie was resistant to the idea. "Why not?" I blurted, "I love you and I don't want to lose you. I want us to be together all the time."
"I love you too and I'm not going anywhere but you can't get too serious about me," she replied.
I had not considered myself the marrying kind but now it seemed the only way to hold her. As prelude to a proposal, putting my cards on the table, I told her, "I've never been married or engaged but I haven't been a shrinking violet either and there are quite a lot of girls in my past. There were two longish relationships and I did live with one girl for a few months."
"There is no need to tell me that, I'm willing to let the past stay in the past," she said, rather too quickly.
I had assumed that she would have very little past to divulge but now I began to wonder. "What about you?"
"How many girls were there?"
"More than twenty," I admitted reluctantly. Debbie nodded but said nothing.
"And you?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because I want to marry you."
Debbie shook her head and I thought I saw a tear in her eye. "I can't marry you and my past is the reason why not. I have never had a real relationship before you but I have had sex with well over a hundred men."
The news took the wind out of my sails and a good proportion of air from my lungs. I just sat and stared at her until after a long pause she explained gently, "The whole four years at university I worked as an escort in the evening one day a week. My conscience is clear and I thought I could forget it but I know how devastated you would have been if you found out after we were married."
"Why did you do it?"
"It seemed the logical thing to do. I'll try to explain." Debbie paused to pour us both a large glass of wine. "My parents are not well off but they made a lot of sacrifices for me and I knew they were prepared to use the rest of their savings getting me through university. I couldn't let them do that."
I started to say something but she held up a hand to stop me. "The other girls with me were all sex crazy and went out with the intent to get pissed and then get laid with the result that their lives were a continuous round of binge drinking and promiscuity, often waking up in bed with some male they didn't even recognise. I wanted sex too but in a more controlled way and this led me to think why not get paid to do it and use the money to finance myself."
"How much did you charge and how did it make you feel?" I asked.
"I often got over £1000 for the night but because I spent the evening dining with a client didn't mean that sex was a done deal. They still had to woo me and even then I had to feel attracted to let them fuck me. As to feelings, I enjoyed doing it, there was nothing not to enjoy. Most of the men were a lot older than me but in many ways this was an advantage. They were usually successful and intelligent and knew how to treat a woman. I never came across the kind of brashness that so many younger men tend to display."
"It must have been a lonely life in a way."
"Not at all. Many of the men became regulars and I built up a rapport with them. Sometimes with favourites I spent a whole weekend with them off the books and I was treated to at least one luxury holiday abroad every year."
"Then why did you stop?"
"It was a pleasant interlude but it was always a means to an end. It paid for my education and left me able to put a large cash sum down on my flat but I knew I could do so much more with my life. Now I'm paying the penalty because I've fallen in love with you and I know you won't want anything more to do with me after this. Oh you'll end it nicely but I know it is bound to be over between us."
"You know nothing," I said fiercely. "I still want to marry you and I'm asking you to do the honour of becoming my wife. The past remains in the past where you wanted it. I know that I can't live without you."
Debbie gave a long sigh and I saw happiness flood her face. "I will marry you but on condition that you don't start asking for details on the things I've done."
I dutifully promised that I would never mention anything she had just told me and the next moment she was in my arms. We were married six weeks later and started on an idyllic lifestyle with every spare moment devoted to pleasuring each other. The sex was wonderful. I sometimes did wonder how my love making skills compared to that of her many previous paramours and partly as a result of this my efforts were concentrated more on giving her sexual pleasure rather than seeking my own. Life continued like this for three fantastic years.
Then one evening I found my wife in a highly excited state and listened to her say that she had been approached to be the Labour candidate at a forthcoming bye-election. "I won't win because it's a safe Conservative seat but if I put up a good show I could be offered somewhere with better prospects at the next general election," she reported realistically.
As a loyal husband I accompanied Debbie on the door knocking and stood to the side observing at all the election meetings. I did not understand the procedure but I could see how men responded to her and, win or lose, I was confident she would get far more votes than the polls were indicating. Then there was a surprising but significant development. The first reports said that her opponent had been mugged but then it transpired that the assault had occurred on a common in a notorious area where gay men were known to congregate in search of random sex. The newspapers were full of it.
Debbie was continuously asked her opinion by interviewers but her answer was always, 'I refuse to capitalise on an error of judgement.' It became a catch phrase applied to her and she eventually won the seat. Very soon the event that had helped was forgotten and she was treated as the golden girl who had managed to overturn a huge majority. As a back bencher her salary more than doubled but with the peculiar Commons hours the routine of our lives were changed. However we soon adjusted and sex was given a fresh impetuous by the new purpose she now had in life.
Three months later it was to change again, signalled by a very excited wife telling me she had been asked to be the parliamentary private secretary for a government minister. "How much more salary will that mean," I asked, having become greedy from the extra cash we already had to spend.
"There will be extra allowances but it is essentially an unpaid post. It will mean a lot more work and responsibility but it puts me on the fast track to advancement. I might have waited for several years before getting this kind of opportunity. If I do well I could be a junior minister in a few years and after that I might possibly end up in the cabinet." My wife's eyes were shining as she spoke and I suddenly realised quite how ambitious she was.
