*
After Stephen left, Tom now knew the real truth of his smug brother's secret.
He had a bit on the side, and wanted him to make up a lie to help save his marriage.
Tom was a lot of things, but he wasn't going to fabricate a lie to Terri about Stephen and his affair. In fact, he wanted Terri to know the truth for two reasons: one, he had very strong feels now for her, and two, having made love to her, he wanted her to be with him.
Finally,
the Golden Boy
would be seen as what he really was, a liar and a cheat. He may be a lot of things, and could be a real bastard, but a cheater was one thing he was not. He would never treat a woman the way Stephen had treated Terri.
Soon others would learn that he could be a real nasty when someone put him out. But one thing about Tom, as hard and nasty as he was, he never in all his life hurt a woman. He had a fierce reputation and never back away from a fight, but he'd give his life to protect the woman he loved. In fact he loved to fight, being a real hard nut, so different from his brother Stephen in every way. But, he'd do whatever it took to keep his love ones safe.
He may not be the best looking or the smart one in dress or brains, but he respected and loved all women. He would never try and string two women along while he decided which on he really wanted.
Being shy, he didn't date often, but when he did, the women left knowing they were safe and would be protected and any needs they had would be met. He took pride in being able to satisfy women, because being very well endowed, with a nine inch thick cock, he knew how to please a woman.
He'd make sure she came first before he did, making his climax even the more worthwhile. The few women that he did date knew he was great in bed, so after being with him once, they never refused him after fucking the first time.
But Terri wasn't like the women he dated. She was special. She meant so much more to him. He had always had feelings for her, and a few days ago, making love with her solidified those feelings. He knew he could satisfy her and make her happy. She deserved to be happy and not be with a selfish, neglectful man that wanted to string her along.
Tom now wanted her for his own, and nothing was about to stop him making her happy. He knew she was probably devastated from her discovery the night before and that she was feeling quite sad at finding out what she thought was her perfect marriage was a sham.
Tom was no angel but he never made himself out to be anything other than what he was. What you saw is what you got. But one thing with Terri he never once fucked her without making her cum first every time.
That was to him so very important, as it was with what every woman he fucked. But Terri was something more to him and he had to get over there and make sure she was alright. He loved her and if given the chance, he'd cherish her for the rest of her life.
He also realized she felt guilty for being with him. She might forgive Stephen because of what happened between them. But, Stephen didn't satisfy her. He made her unhappy.
Tom got up dressed and called in to his job. He took the day off because, something more important had come up. He had to take care of his woman.
Stephen, downhearted and racked with guilt, made his way home. Terri was still in bed, so he decided to make breakfast for them. Soon Terri woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. Donning a robe, she joined her husband in the kitchen.
At first neither one spoke, they just looked at each other.
"She's no one. And it was a onetime thing." Stephen stated solemnly. "I'm sorry, Terri. I love you and I don't want to lose you. Please, don't leave me."
Terri was speechless. She couldn't hold this against him because she'd done the same thing. She'd had a onetime fling that meant nothing. She had to forgive him this.
At least that's what she told herself. No man had ever made her feel the things Tom did. No man had ever been as attentive as he was to her. Her pleasure was his ultimate goal and he didn't allow himself to cum until she'd climaxed multiple times.
Then the way he held her afterwards. He held her so close, and told her she was perfect and beautiful. Tom made her feel safe. Tom would never hurt her like this. But, Tom was not her husband, Stephen was. He made a mistake and she had to forgive him.
As she was pondering, the phone rang. Stephen stood to do the dishes while she took the call.
As much as Tom wanted to call Terri and tell her what Stephen was up to, he didn't want to hurt her more that he knew she'd would already be hurting. He picked up the phone and called his brother's home, breathing a sigh of relief when Terri picked up. He heard Stephen speaking in the background as he spoke to her and wished he was there to knock him out.
"Terri, it's Tom. Are you alright?" Tom asked breathing heavily.
"I'm fine. Tom, I don't' want-" she started to explain when Tom cut across her.
"He came to me and asked me to lie for him Terri. You don't have to stay with him. He's a liar and a cheater. Terri, listen, I know you love him, but baby he's not good for you." Tom expounded in one big breath.
"Tom, please. He's my husband and I'm no saint. If he found out..." Exhaling Terri decided to end the call. "Tom, you promised, Please, don't say anything. I'll come by later and we can talk then. OK, just please.. don't say."
"Terri, I'm here." Tom whispered.
"Tom" Terri sighed softly, fighting back tears. "We'll talk later. I've got to go. Bye."
He could tell from her tone that she was hurting, and his heart broke for her. After reassuring her that he was there for her, she then ended their conversation, hanging up the phone.
Stephen walked in as she was hanging up. "Who was that?" He asked wondering who'd call his wife so early as jealousy reared its ugly head.
"Just Tom, he said you'd stopped by his place and he wanted to see if I was alright." Terri answered as she rose from the sofa to go dress for the day.
Fear gripped his heart.
What did Tom say to her? Did he tell her about April?
She wasn't kicking him out, so Tom hadn't told her everything, not anything really.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Stephen suggested. "I'm not going into the office today, so let's spend it together."
"No, Stephen. I know she's more than a coworker. You lied, but you're my husband and we'll talk, but today I need time for me. So go to work. We'll talk when you get home." Terri declared.
Stephen didn't really want to go, but he'd respect her wishes and give her some time. As Terri came out of their bedroom, Stephen looked at his wife. She was a good woman and didn't deserve what he'd done.
Then he thought of April, and the love and trust she had for him. April was like a breath of fresh air. She made him feel like a man. Not that Terri emasculated him, quite the opposite. She never commented one way or another, although she was his wife.
Soon he was leaving and he move to kiss Terri as he walked out the door, but she pushed him away. Once he'd driven away from the house, he called April.
"Hello, Stephen. Baby, I miss you." April gushed over the phone.
Smiling, Stephen replied, "Baby, I miss you too. What are you up to today?"
"Oh, nothing much. I have classes and then Mama wants me to have lunch with her. Then I'm gonna study a while before going out with Jasmine."
"OK, baby, sounds good. I'm reporting in at the office now. I'll call back later today alright." Stephen told his young lover. "April, I love you. Never doubt that." He said at the end of their talk, then blew her a kiss and hung up.
Terri had a stop to make and she didn't have much time. She questioned her wisdom in driving to the apartment complex, but she knew this was the only way she'd see him. He never came to their house unless he was explicitly invited.
She walked up to his door and rang the bell.
"Who is it?" a gruff voice called out.
"Tom, it's me, Terri. We need to..." he was pulling her into his apartment before she could finish her sentence.
Holding her close, he had no intention of ever letting go. Like him, Tom's apartment was a bit messy, but Terri realized she liked the mess. She took a moment and relaxed in his embrace. He loved this woman and would hold her in his arms to make her feel it. It wasn't just the sex with her, because he cared for her far more than he would let on .
"Oh God Terri, I can kill him for doing this to you, the selfish bastard. How can he even think that-" stopping mid-rant, he kissed her. He gently tasted her lips praying she could feel his love in that kiss. To his surprise Terri responded, kissing him back just as fiercely. Then he felt her pushing against his chest.
"Tom, stop. This isn't right. Stop." Terri pleaded with him.
"Why? Terri, tell me the truth. How do you feel about me? I know you think I'm disgusting, and a slob, but yet you come to life in my arms. Where do I stand?" Tom asked, his heart beating erratically in his chest.
"Tom, I don't think that... I mean, I just wish you took better care of yourself. You're my brother-in law and I love you like a brother-" Tom cut her off.
"Bullshit Terri, a brother!" Tom scoffed. "You love me like a brother. Well then you must be into incest because I don't think you'd fuck your brother the way you did me. Your brother couldn't make you cum like I did. Baby, I might be many things, but I am not your brother. I can't stand by and let him do this to you." He fumed
Terri reached up instinctively and caressed his cheek. She didn't want to upset him. It bothered her that he was upset. Her concern for Tom caused her pause. When did she start thinking of him as more than what he was. It started before their tryst.
He looked at her and she'd melt. He was chubby, a terrible dresser, and ate whatever he wanted. He was not afraid to be himself and that attracted her more than anything. But she had a husband. His brother was her husband and that was a line she should have never crossed.
Unfortunately she had, and now she found that she didn't want to give this man up.
