Not much in the way of sex in this one. It is a typical celt consequence story. I hope you enjoy it.

Consequences-Maxine
Prologue
I checked the parking lot from the steps of the city/county complex where I stood once more, to be sure his truck was still there. I knew that he had arrived a few minutes ago and he should be good for another ten to twenty minutes before leaving, but I wanted to be sure. Her phone call to him just said she wanted to talk to him about my trip. He was probably bellied up to the counter and talking to her right this minute. Making plans for tonight when I would supposedly be out of town for two days. Two days for them to get it on. Yes, he would stay and talk to her: I was just nervous, and if truth be told, also a little excited. I just wanted this thing to go as planned.
It was important for it to be just right since I had been planning this now for almost two weeks. I looked again for John's car and this time was rewarded with the sight of his classic Mustang convertible pulling in to the parking lot, the smoke from the exhaust signaling its presence. It was a piece of junk to me, but a beloved classic to him and now the bearer of important news.
John parked, pulled his massive bulk awkwardly out of the too-small car, reached back inside to grab a worn briefcase and then, slamming the door twice to get it to stay shut, walked toward me. The blinding white teeth in his coal black face showed him smiling, and it was all I needed to see to allow me to return it. He raised the briefcase in triumph as he climbed the steps to where I was standing. He reached me, pulled out a sheaf of papers and, handing them to me, laughed.
"It's cooked: her goose that is. It's all here and just what you wanted. Junior is right behind me with his copies. The cops are right behind him and they agreed to follow his lead. Just a few mo' minutes and you get what you wanted."
I took the papers he gave me, checked to be sure they were what I expected, and then smiled back at him.
"Perfect! Junior has the official copies? For both of them?"
"He's got 'em both. Just as you wanted. Relax Bob; it'll be over very quick."
As I nodded, he took a last chance to ask me "Are you sure Bob? Are you damn sure this's what you want? There's still time to change your mind. Be sure!"
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm very damned sure!"
Our Life Till Now
Maxine Gray and I were married sixteen years ago this month. We met and fell in love in high school and then dated off and on through college. I went to Ohio State and she went to Mount Union near Youngstown. We both dated others during college but we always reconnected during the holidays. We both graduated in 1989 and moved back to our home town of Toledo. Maxine had a degree in accounting and got a job working for the city in the auditor's office. I was an engineer and I went to work for my dad in his construction business. My degree was in civil engineering so I began to slowly take over his job with the idea of him retiring and me eventually running the whole thing. That was fine with me, since I had always wanted to do what he did: run my own company and build things.
My name is Bob Underhill. My dad's business is Underhill Construction and he concentrates mainly on industrial construction. He rarely bothers with small jobs and bids only on those that will keep him working for years. Those were the big ones and there were plenty of them around. When I graduated, he started me working on the bids: the part of the job that made us successful. A good bid was necessary to making a profit and to getting a foot in the door: too high, no chance in hell, too low, good chance to work but a sure loss of profit. A good bid would open the door for the job and for a lot more down the road. I learned from a pro.
Maxine and I were dating and as we both settled into our jobs, talk of marriage was inevitable. We danced around it for several months but I finally asked her to marry me one sunny day in May. She accepted, we planned for a September wedding and our life as a couple began the day in 1991 when we pledged our love and devotion to each other for the rest of our lives. We took a week long honeymoon in Hawaii where we learned that sex was something we both enjoyed. I was surprised to find she was fairly wild in bed. Once she found out that she liked it, she was anxious to try everything she had read about or heard from some of her friends at work. I was happy to go along with her exploration and we did everything I could imagine at least once.
When we returned and started our life as a married couple, we continued to have sex as often as we had the strength and things became comfortable to us. We were in love and our lives were almost perfect. We planned on a family later once we felt secure in our lives but in the meantime we had fun.
We had been married for five years when one night as she was riding me like a cowgirl in bed, I reached up to pinch her nipples between my fingers as she liked and asked her a question. "Do you want kids? And if you do, how many?"
