This may well be my last story, in a way it’s my parting shoot. I do thank those of you who have been supportive of my work. To those of you who understood my points, I say, thank you. To those who have hated me, I say, get a life. I’m not by any means giving up writing, some seem to think I have a talent for it. I’m just going to be writing for another venue. Stories more suited to my sexual preference, less erotic, more romantic in nature. I’ll even have an editor, some I’m sure are saying, thank god, me too. I’m sure, I’ll miss the erotic, at times a bit pornographic, stories I wrote. Alas, I do have a life, I have a lover, I have a chosen profession, I’m an artist, I only have so much time, my writing for all practical purposes in now a second profession. I’ll have deadlines to meet, I just can’t see how I can satisfy everything. I promise you this, if I do find a need to write something erotic, I’ll post it here.
I hope you like this story, I wrote it fast and furious, I did want to post one last story, a need you may say. I have tried to edit out the mistakes, I’m not sure how successfully. There are some places where it is a bit muddled, but I’m a wee bit muddled myself, so I like that.
I have to say this one last thing, it’s personal, you can’t possible understand it, but I may never have the courage to do it again, at least not in print. "Daddy dearest, roll over in your grave, your daughter writes, and you never got to read one fucking word of it. That was your wish wasn’t it, your desire, like Father, like Daughter, well my Dearest Father, I’m not like you. I’m my Mother’s Daughter, seven short years, you had a life time. But I can write, Daddy, I write as she did, I write from my heart, to bad you didn’t have one." Does that sound bitter to all of you? All I can say is, "I HAVE A RIGHT."
*********
Heather and Albert had been married a little over ten years, a relatively happy marriage, at least it had been, then again maybe their happiness a mere illusion. Their union had produced three children Tommy, age 9, Hanna, age 7 and Samantha, age 6. They lived in a nice home, in an upper middle class neighborhood, had two vehicles, one a foreign compact, the other an American made SUV, neither new. They spent more then they should keeping up with their life style, so they both had to work. Albert in middle management for a medium sized regional company. Heather as the office manager for a small, but growing high tech firm which sold software to the medical industry. Anyone looking in at their family, would see it as a normal, happy functional family.
There were a few flaws, one Heather was not happy at her job, she had wanted a career in broadcast journalism, had gone to college, finished three years with a 4.0 grade point. She married Albert in the early spring of her junior year, with the promise that she’d be able to finish school. But before the sinister was up she became pregnant. Birth control doesn’t always work. They decided, the emphases being on the Albert side of they, that it would be best that Heather give up school, complete their family, they wanted three children, then she could go back to school when the youngest was in kindergarten.
Albert’s career didn’t progress like he’d hope, but his desire to keep up with the Jones did. He had to have a bigger house then they could afford, new cars every two years, a snowmobile, a boat, he wanted the same things as those he’d started his career with but those same people had progressed father, and faster then he had. Samantha was only two when Heather was forced to get a job or face bankruptcy. It was then that Heather also took over all financial responsibilities, she’d kept a tight rein on their budget, thus getting them passed the disaster that Albert had brought them to. It really wasn’t so much that Heather hated her job, she just felt unfulfilled. She liked the company she worked for, the benefits were good, she had a great working relationship with management. She was close to a number of the women whom she worked with, and even though she supervised some of them, she wasn’t a tyrant.
Albert had a few problems to, he felt he was overlooked, overworked and underpaid. He felt he had more skill then those who were above him. He felt he was a better man then most. He felt it was all the politics, all the back biting that kept him back, he had the skills to get ahead, others conspired against him.. Albert also resented the fact that Heather was so tight with money. Other then that one flaw he saw in Heather’s character, and the fact that Heather wasn’t wild in bed, he was happy with her. She was, if anything, more beautiful then the day he’d married her.
Heather kept herself in excellent shape, something he didn’t do, had been and still was athletic, he loved to watch her play volleyball and softball, not that he mined watching the women she played with either. Albert being Albert, of course, saw the blemishes in her looks, Heather’s hip were bigger, her stomach not as flat as it once was, a few wrinkles around the eyes, a few at the corners of her mouth, a crease in her forehead. Albert didn’t mean to be picky, but he did feel Heather could do better taking care of herself then she did. He just hated that Heather didn’t wear makeup on her days off, he wanted her to be always at her best, something he didn’t feel was unreasonable.
Albert also felt Heather could be a bit annoying, she always seemed to want his attention, his affection, something he didn’t fell the need for except when he was horny. He lived with that, he did try to show his affection, giving her kisses and grabbing at her breasts when he was in the mood.
The only thing you might call a bit odd with Albert was his desire to see Heather make love to someone else. In Albert’s mind it hadn’t always been that way, he readily admit he always liked it when other men looked, he’d even admit that caused some feelings in his pants, Albert surmised that was ok but he could at times get jealous. Even this desire he blamed more on Heather, then he did himself. Heather was a born flirt, and when she’d drink she would get really bold about being so. One night at a party, Albert had watched his wife with one of the other husbands, she had seemed really attracted to this man, eventually sneaking off with him to a quiet part of the house. The truth was Heather knew Albert had been watching her, he had been in one of his silent moods lately, something that drove her crazy, she wanted his attention and his affection. She saw a chance to make Albert jealous, something that hadn’t work often in the past but it had a few times. Heather hope his jealousy would lead to his paying more attention to her.
Heather had against her better judgment allowed the man to lead her to a deserted part of the house, she had drunk way to much, and drinking to much always made her horny. She knew Albert had followed them, but when the guy put the make on her, trying to kiss her, she felt so naughty, so turned on by the situation that she let him. She did lose control for a while, allowing the guy to unbutton her blouse, lift her bra above her beasts then fondle them. Even Heather wasn’t sure how far she could have gone with this man if Albert hadn’t been watching, but she knew he was so she stopped the guy at that point, returning to the main party.
