It had been a great party. They didn't go formal too often, so this was a treat for her. Tolerable for him though he much preferred casual. All dressed up they both had enjoyed themselves immensely. When they visited their friends in the next county he always drank more than he should. This time she had a little too much herself. He definitely shouldn't be behind the wheel. She was just a bit tipsy, but knowing they had an early morning commitment she deemed she was fit enough to make the 35 mile drive home.
They said their goodbyes and hit the freeway around 4:30 that afternoon. Perhaps it was the earliness of the afternoon, or just the joyous occasion, but as she drove her mind wondered a bit. He was dozing in and out in the passenger seat, being of no help keeping her focused upon the road.
She was fine to drive, just a little preoccupied with her thoughts of the day. Thoughts of their return home that night when he would be wide awake. They would be alone and have their "fun" time. She had been teasing him sexually throughout the day so she knew he would be "up" for the action. A slow moving semi was getting too close in front of her so she glanced to the right and went to pass around it. Forgetting her blinker as she saw no other traffic she moved into the next lane. Only to hear the screeching of tires followed by the quick blast of a siren.
That DAMNED blind spot in her car had struck again! This was the second time it had sabotaged her. To make matters all the worse it was a policeman both times. She pulled over slowly and in a panic. He awoke, startled and asked what had happened? She was already crying as the officer pulled his motorcycle to a stop behind them and walked to the drivers window.
"License and registration Miss." he requested looking into the car.
"I.... I'm very sorry Sir." she cried. Watching their interaction he was a little annoyed at the policeman calling her "miss". She was clearly married and with him, "Ma'am" would have been a better choice he thought quietly to himself. Fetching her purse from the back seat, then the registration from the glove box caused her dress to ride up her legs quite a bit as she jostled about. The patrolman spyed her red crotchless panties as she did so. Her husband had bought them for her the last time she was away and she was wearing them today to surprise him when they arrived home.
"You nearly ran me off the road Miss." he persisted with the nomenclature.
"It's the blind spot in this car Sir I... I am sooo sorry." He could smell the faint smell of wine on her breath.
"Have you been drinking today Miss?" Neither of them had thought of that aspect of this misadventure. They both panicked now.
"I had a glass of wine."
"She had a couple small glasses a few hours ago." The couple answered at the same time. Their answers didn't quite match.
"Which was it Miss? One glass or a couple?" His voice had grown stern.
"Well..." she said looking annoyingly at her husband. "I guess it was a couple, but it was earlier." The officer wasn't buying her story.
"Please step out or the vehicle Miss." She opened the car door and looking up at him pleadingly as she swung herself out. Just then he removed his mirrored sunglasses. The descending sun reflected off of them and straight into her eyes. Blinding her for a short moment and causing her to stumble and fall into his arms.
Embarrassed she looked up at him. He was a dead ringer for a young Brad Pitt. Maybe a bit more muscular. "I think a breath test is in order Miss." he said catching her and righting her stance.
"I...I just lost my balance." she protested. "I'm not drunk."
"The breathalyzer will determine that Miss." She sighed, she blew into the machine, she blew 0.081. "The legal limit in California is 0.08 Miss." Could she have been any closer to the safe limit?
She was crying more profusely now. He was kicking himself in the car for not realizing she shouldn't have been driving. "Turn and place your hands on the hood of the automobile please Miss, I have to search you before taking you in."
Taking me in!! she thought. "To jail?" she asked.
"Yes Miss, that is the procedure for drunk driving." She did as told, assuming the position across the hood. Her husband stared at her tear stained face. Her breasts were hanging down, her nipples poking at the thin material of her dress. The officer kicked her legs apart. Starting from her bare ankles, they both thought, Is there any way she could be concealing something there? He ran his hands slowly up to the hem of her dress. Then a little higher to just below her pantie line.
Her husband liked her to wear her dresses short. This day she had worn one of her shortest. They had been apart for a duration just recently and they were still at a sexual peak after being reacquainted. Wanting and enjoying themselves at every given opportunity. She had been teasing him with it all day in her outfit. Letting him know she was wearing the crotchless panties and that she was wet underneath them. The officers hand running up and down her bare legs wasn't helping the matter any. That son of a bitch is taking BOLD liberties the husband thought as he watched from inside the car.
The cop patted her ass and ran his hands up her sides. she shivered and her knees grew a little weak at his firm touch on her. He boldly moved his hands over her breasts, cupping them and squeezing. "OK, I am satisfied you aren't trying to conceal anything." She stood up beat red from the search. "A pretty MILF like you, it's a shame I have to take you off to jail. I have always had a yearning for women a little older then I am."
Was he flirting with her? Right there in front of her husband? Could she use this to her advantage? her mind raced. She looked about. She looked at her husband, then at the officer. "Well.... you don't have to arrest me officer." she pleaded, hopefully.
"The law is the law Miss. I would be remiss if I were to let you go without punishment." He wasn't going to budge she sighed. "I will tell you what...." he looked at her, then at her husband, then back at her. "there is a hotel off the next exit. If you will agree to go there with me..."
"I.....I couldn't do that1" she protested.
"It's that or jail Miss." he said leaving no room for bartering in his voice.
She looked to her husband. He had a dumb look of not having a clue on what to do. "Tell you what, you sign my ticket book. I will follow you to the hotel. I will keep your license and the room key. I get off work in an hour. You two can talk things over. If I leave satisfied, you will get a ticket for an unsafe lane change. If not, you will accompany me to the station, loose your license for 4 months, pay between $10,000 and $15,000 and have this on your driving record permanently."
What choice did they have? At least that would give them some time to decide. They would be able to sit down and make a rational choice. She agreed and they followed the motorcycle to the nearby hotel. Her husband went in and booked a room. She stood outside with the officer saying nothing. They all three walked to the room and the couple went inside. Handing the key out to the policeman, "I will see you in an hour." He took the room key and left.
She began to cry again. He held her close. She apologized for getting pulled over. He apologized for not taking charge and keeping her from driving. They decided together that neither were at fault. It was just what it was. Now they needed to decide what to do next. The cop had left no room for negotiation. He wanted her. He couldn't blame the man. She was beautiful. So sexy in her choice of attire that day. They found the minibar. What the heck they thought, matters couldn't get any worse. He had another beer and poured her a chardonnay. they sat on the bed and talked over the options.
They settled on three choices. 1: They could so as he wished. Bite the bullet and save the cost, jail time and embarrassment of the situation. 2: They could run now and pay the consequences later. Or 3: She could go to jail, pay a lawyer thousands of dollars along with a hefty fine and the loss of her licensee for four months or longer.
Number 2 was almost immediately taken off the board. They didn't want an angry man with a gun hunting them down. He already had her license and their home address. That left options 1 or 3. Money had been tight the last few years. Starting with their daughters wedding. Then their sons illness. They made a good living but for the last three years they hadn't been able to put anything extra away in savings. She was adamant on not wanting to spend the night in a jail cell. That left only option #1.
She looked at her watch. 30 minutes left to make up some ground rules. They talked of his concerns. Would she like the cop better? Nonsense she persuaded him. Could he leave them alone and trust she would be all right? She wasn't sure of that one either. In fact that was the number ONE of her concerns. Would he allow the husband to stay? Would he allow the husband to be part of it? She said she would feel much better about the whole thing if he was there and participating as well.
