(Writers note: Okay I know I shouldn't but I can't resist, I'm going to attempt to write a story about a couple having THAT talk about a Rich boss trying to persuade a wife to be with him by using blackmail, yes I know its been done before probably a 1000 times.
Be warned it is my interpretation of such a story and as I have stated in my other stories if you are reading this intro do not look for cuckolding here. There won't be much sex in the story but there will be the drama that is always in these stories.)
The Choice: Chapter One.
(A couple have THAT talk. The wife has to make a choice.)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was just like any other evening I walked into the house after I finished my shift at the warehouse. I called out my wife's name and was drawn towards the smells coming from the kitchen. Carrie, my wife of 15 years was busy making dinner for us, by the smell it was my favourite meal Sausages, Mash and Onion gravy.
I walked up to my wife and reached around her and kissed her neck. I could smell her perfume the one I liked the most and I appreciated the fact she was wearing one of my shirts which was way too big for her and a pair of short denim shorts the shirt was open enough to show her toned body.
Carrie is a fair bit shorter than me, I am 6ft 3in Carrie is 5ft 5in. She has long dark hair that rests between her shoulder blades. As well as being small in size, she has a slim body with medium sized breasts. The words I would use are she is small but perfectly formed.
"Gary wait until after dinner to get amorous, and Gary you need a shower. " She said wrinkling her pert nose at me.
"Okay I get the hint, I will quickly go and shower." I said as I picked up my kit bag and walked upstairs.
"Gary honey, I need to tell you something important." She shouted after me. I didn't really pay that much attention to the slight tremor in her voice.
When I got to the bedroom and started taking my clothes off. It took me a moment to notice the brand new lingerie and dress draped over the end of the bed.
Then of course I noticed the high heeled shoes. The dress was a deep red as was the lingerie and the shoes. I was trying to think if I had missed anything, any celebration or if I had missed any special occasion.
But no I checked the calendar on my phone, no birthdays coming up, no anniversaries coming up. I didn't think my wife had got a promotion she would have told me.
We had a relationship where we talked to each other about most things in our life and a promotion would be one of them. I looked at the tags on the clothes and saw the prices. There is no way my wife could afford these clothes on her salary. And I know I didn't pay for them.
This means someone other than me has been buying my wife expensive clothes, and I'm guessing they are not for my benefit. I got into the shower and cleaned my self up then put on a t-shirt and jeans. I could tell by the smell the food was almost done.
I picked up the clothing and shoes and quietly walked down the stairs, Carrie was still busy cooking and didn't hear me come in I placed the clothes on the table.
Carrie turned around without really seeing me at first, she moved towards the cutlery draw then she stopped when she saw the clothes.
"Ah you found them, honestly I can and will explain. Those clothes are something we need to talk about. Something has happened at work." She said as she took the pan off the hob.
I leant against the kitchen counters and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Okay Carrie go on then explain." I said with sarcasm.
"Well you see, it's like this, there is a new manager where I work his name is Richard and well he has found something out about us, well me actually, and he is trying to use it as leverage to get me to do something."
"Okay I will bite, what has this "Richard" found?"
She reached into her shorts pocket and took out her phone she opened an app that showed photos. She clicked on one particular photo. And then showed me the phone and the photo.
"Oh shit..." I said with wide eyes.
"Yes Gary oh shit is right."
We were both looking at a boudoir photo of Carrie from about 10 years ago. The photo was of my wife in a very sexy black and red bra and knickers set along with garter belt and hold up stockings and high heeled shoes.
She was laid on her back with her arm's apparently tied to a bed post and it looked like her legs were also tied to the other bedposts. It was a very sexy photo of my wife.
It was part of a present I got for Carrie, we knew a good female photographer and we asked her to take some fun and sexy and yes a bit risqué photos of my wife, with me in the photos occasionally obviously not in this one.
We only had 10 photos done and none of them were nude photos, only one photo had me pretending to undo my wife's bra, as I did it my hands covered her breasts. So nothing was ever seen.
The photos we fun and we have had many fun times acting out the photoshoot over the years. But I can see that the photos could be embarrassing if made public or distributed around my wife's company. Carrie works as a team leader in her accounting office.
The question is how did this "Richard" get hold of these photos.
"Gary, he is trying to use the photo as blackmail...I would never do anything behind your back, you know that, I promise you Gary all we have done is talk over coffee in the canteen at work. He always wanted to be alone with me but I put him off as much as I could and we have only ever met in front of everyone in the canteen nothing has happened I promise. I was stupid I thought I could handle this alone. I know I should have told you sooner."
She could see by my face I wasn't sure about her story, actually that's not true I did believe she has done nothing wrong apart from accept some clothes and maybe have a coffee in the canteen with a relatively strange man from work. She knows I know too many people in her building for her to even try something without someone saying something to me.
One of the tell tale signs about my wife is that when she lies her neck goes pink, so far no pink mark. She gets embarrassed when she lies and it causes her neck to flush pink.
"So Carrie, what was his plan? You get dressed up in your new clothes go out with him and then you and he informs me about my new status in your life?"
"Yes Gary, that's what he was proposing, I'm sorry I know I should have told you sooner. That was exactly his plan he wants me for a couple of nights, then probably more but I swear I would never have sex with him but he assured me it was just drinks and a night out. But I couldn't keep quiet anymore and anyway I will give the clothes back to Richard. I have been stupid, haven't I?" she looked at me not sure about my reaction.
She sat down on the kitchen chair put her head in her hands and breathed deeply, then sighed.
"What are we going to do Gary?"
"Carrie something doesn't sound right who is this Richard, and why don't I know him."
She looked up at me, "Honestly Gary I don't where he came from, but he started work in my building about 3 months ago. He is connected in a big way that's how he got the manager's job."
"So have you been "talking" to him for three months without telling me about him? "
"No Gary he only started trying to talk to me like this and giving me this proposal a couple of weeks ago, but I promise you I didn't encourage him in fact I kept pushing him away, but he is very good at smooth talk he seemed harmless at first."
My wife stopped talking for a moment and took another deep breath trying to calm herself.
"Honestly Gary it didn't help when his wife Sherri came into the canteen and started talking to me, she works in another part of the company but she has started coming into our canteen with him. She has been telling me how nice Richard is and how he keeps her satisfied, if you know what I mean, I'm not sure what either of them want."
"Carrie my dear its obvious what they want. Tomorrow you are going to work as normal, except you will tell him you are having lunch with me. I don't care what he says to you. Its time I had a chat with this Richard and maybe his Wife as well."
"Okay Gary anything you say." she said wiping her tears.
"Okay for now we are going to eat our dinner and then we are going to bed. I know you would never cheat on me. So I am going to believe what you have told me and that you didn't betray my trust by having sex with him or his wife. Marriage has boundaries that should never be crossed. You are very close to those boundaries."
She leapt up and ran to me and flung her arms around my neck.
"I'm so sorry Gary I really have been stupid haven't I? I should have told you everything as soon as he started pressurising me."
I resisted for a moment then put my arms around her. And pulled her close against me.
"Yes you should have, okay let's eat now and get a bottle of red open." I said to her hoping the wine will help us relax.
I disengaged from her and we laid the table after carefully moving the clothes. We sat drinking the wine and eating our dinner, it was delicious as always. We didn't really talk, Carrie tried a couple of times but I didn't respond. My thoughts were elsewhere.
We finished the meal drank our wine then washed up the plates and glasses and cutlery. We then picked up the clothes and went upstairs. We both undressed and got into our night clothes, both of us wore t-shirt and boxer shorts. Once I was in bed Carrie climbed in too and curled around me and rested her head on my chest.
"Gary, I'm sorry I will swear on any bible on any holy book on anything you hold dear that Richard has not touched me and I have never touched him except maybe once by accident when he got a coffee from the coffee machine at work and gave it to me. I will swear on my parents grave I have never crossed those boundaries. I know I have come close and I know I have been incredibly stupid and yes naive, at the age of 35 I should have known better. Please Gary tell me you still trust me..." she said quietly.
I could feel her tears soaking my t-shirt. I put my arm around her and pulled her close.
"Yes Carrie, I believe you, I'm not entirely sure I trust you fully but for now get some sleep." We both slept fitfully that night.
The next day we both woke up and after giving Carrie a hug we both undressed and shared the shower, no we didn't make love. We kissed and touched each other but we just wanted to be close together.
We got dressed went downstairs and each had a bowl of cereal and coffee. I will point out that my wife put on a pair of jeans and a shirt and a jacket, she was not looking like a woman going to work and looking to seduce someone or be seduced.
We made small talk about the news and about the weather and then finally we both hugged each other then we both left the house got into our cars and drove our to respective work places.
When I got to work some of the lads guessed something was wrong. My line manager Mark came up to me and spoke to me and asked if everything was okay.
