An Adventurous wife's Cheating Gig
Daryl was a classic nerd. Profession-wise he was a work-at-home ethical hacker - e.g. he is paid a monthly retainer by each of several multi-nationals and when he breaches their computer or phone system and presents a fix for their computer department, he is paid a nice cash bonus that does not show up on his 1099 issued in January. His first hack experience was when he was 10 years old. In his mid teens he developed a vitriolic hatred of bureaucrats and politicians, whose goal was power over peoples lives. That drove him to seriously hack even more. His take was that those thugs attempted to give their own wasted lives meaning by exercising power over others. As a late teen he read a novel about a driven hero with whom Daryl identified. The result was that, he decided to 'never waste a minute of my life again' as a result of reading that book. Accordingly he began hacking for pay and quietly withdrew from the three nihilist groups.
Growing up he was home schooled in his early years because his mother wanted to shield him from the sinful world of Public School. More importantly, two siblings had severe birth defects and learning disabilities while Daryl was a 'precocious chance freak of nature,' according to one professor who studied him and wrote a major research paper. Since Daryl knowingly carried bad genes he opted to take himself out of the gene pool when he was 16 - although Daryl's mother was sure he was going to hell for doing that. To the casual observer, he looked and acted normal, but little about him was normal.
Understandably he was a virgin until he married at 20. Being unhandsome guaranteed that no teen wanted to date him. He had enrolled in an on line university and his major was public speaking - Colleges have little to teach someone who can program in 8 self-taught languages, plus had developed applications in three of those eight, and had at one time been a fountainhead for the global 'Anonymous' hacking group.
He had developed an online buddy with a speech professor at his on-line university. The professor friend advised Daryl, "Join a small Toastmaster group locally and practice, practice, practice speaking. Imagine how Keith Jarrett came to be revered as the top jazz pianist in the world for so many years? He practiced, practiced, practiced... and you must do exactly the same so you don't sound like shit when you are talking!"
He did. There he met his future wife, Sherrie. To this day he doesn't know if he fell in love with her or with her presentations. She was a champion speaker amongst several groups in her area! But she was not a sexy woman by any stretch of the imagination. Daryl mused, "She eats like a horse but doesn't get fat - to everybody's envy. But, she is uglier than homemade sin, but I like her a whole lot."
After tea and talk-dates, they started to drive to New Hampshire and Maine in search of wild, gourmet mushrooms - both loved them. The first night they spent together in the same bed was in a motel in Maine - each slept on his/her own side of the bed. But she woke him up the next morning playing with his cock. Wow! even though they were 20 and 22 year old virgins, they taught each other about sex and both really, really liked it!
Sherrie wanted to get married because her one goal was to have one or two children. She was an entry level bio-chemist for a food supplement company and described herself as an 'ugly duckling.' Nobody asked her out. But Daryl and she were pals, and so in time she talked him into hanging with her. Daryl, the nerd, had no prospects of anyone else, ever - She mused to herself once, "Yoda is a handsome dude by comparison." So he went along with her desire to get married lacking any other opportunities that he could see.
In time their relationship morphed into marriage. As they stood in line for a license at the county clerk's office, Daryl asked, "Sherrie, are you sure you want to do this? I can not father your children. She had smiled and said, "Yes. We will work around your sterility. Besides that I love you and will spend the rest of my life with you." As a wedding gift, her parents gave her a voucher for facial cosmetic surgery at a famous Boston clinic. The surgeon was a high profile one - Daryl had seen his picture in an ad on airline magazine ads. One month after the surgery she was a nice looking woman. Then the would-be suitors started coming out of the wood-work to hit on her.
Her supervisor was the first to seriously hit on her, though she stuck to business in her relationship with him because she personally thought of him as 'yukky.' He was Victor Santos, a Ph.D. researcher from Argentina reputed to have screwed every lady in the company not old, fat, crippled, or ugly. Sherrie and Daryl were invited to their house to meet his wife and two children and Santos asked, at the first visit, "Daryl, what do you do?"
He smiled jovially and answered, "I work at home as a digital systems consultant for several companies. I make a living but am not rich so we can only afford an apartment for the time being." His wife really loved to
talk to Daryl because she wanted to improve her English. Daryl never noticed that Santos essentially ignored him while Sherrie and her boss talked incessantly.
Both children immediately took to Daryl and, to a very small extent, Sherrie, and they even started baby-sitting for the Santos family occasionally - or one should say, 'HE' baby sat because the children shied away from Sherrie. They also visited with and were visited by her parents who still lived in a South Shore suburban home where Sherrie grew up. They also developed friends for playing cards and sometimes double-dated. Daryl and Sherrie was happy with their marriage. So their marriage had morphed into what looked like any such marriage that young 20-somethings have.
The story starts about 14 months after they were married and settled into a comfortable life style. At work Victor called Sherrie and asked, "Can you step in here a minute and bring the Lipsin file?"
"Sure, be right there."
Victor and she spent a few minutes discussing this supplement additive and when that was finished he said, "I have gotten you a 20% pay raise and you are now a senior chemist. Thank you for a job well done. The official notice will come later."
She was so excited she ran to his side of the desk and kissed him on the cheek, "Oh Doctor Santos, Thank you. Thank you."
He held her head and turned her lips to his and kissed her vigorously, even inserting his tongue into her mouth even and started feeling her C-cup breasts that he had never noticed before her marriage. She forced herself away from him and returned to her side of the desk and sat, rubbing her lips where he had kissed her. Then she had an idea. "Doctor Santos could I ask you something personal and private?"
"Sure Sherrie, go ahead. By the way when we are alone call me Victor or VS if you would, because now you are a certified Chemist."
"I want a baby and my husband sterilized himself at 16 because he is carrying bad genes. We have discussed a fertility clinic but they are very expensive. So, I love and am impressed with your and Mrs. Santos children and I would like to have your baby."
He replied, "You mean you want me to go to the clinic and donate sperm designated for you?"
"That would work except that it would be very expensive still for Daryl and me. You could impregnate me the old fashion way. We could have a brief affair and I would get pregnant and Daryl would be pissed at first but he would get over it. Remember he, too, loves your children and they love him."
Santos smiled and said deep in thought,"Wow! We could start our affair now like this evening. I have a waiter friend who works evening shifts and we could use his apartment - it's near the subway stop you pass going to your apartment. Then, as all of a sudden an idea hit him, "What if I could get budget money for you to attend the Chicago Convention with me, would you like to go and would Daryl go along with that?"
She jumped up and down like a kid and said, "Oh yes! Please try! I would like to go to my first convention as well as share your bed for the whole time. Then it would be over and it never happened and I will be pregnant and I will just tell Daryl that I met a man there who seduced me - he will get over it."
The two returned to shop talk and afterwards Santos made a phone call and gave her specific details of where to get off the subway and wait for him after work.
Daryl had picked up 6 clients by this time. Life was good for him because he took the hacking to another level. He, for example, would take a break from work. His game playing would consist of hacking into one bureaucrat's email and forwarding certain documents to another bureaucrat who was the crooked, arch-enemy of the source one. Daryl could never see the attraction of gaming, but he got off on this little game he thunk up himself. Besides, he prided himself on passing truth around.
Daryl and his wife had spent the weekend in New Hampshire gathering mushrooms and had a lot of fun. Once in their hotel they didn't have sex because she lied, "I have menstrual cramps. You will have to wait until I get back from the conference." In the same breath she continued, " Oh! I didn't tell you, Doctor Santos is taking me with him this year." Daryl paid scant attention to her and focused on the mushrooms they had gathered to identify them and verify they were not poisonous.
He said, nonchalantly, "That is very nice, Dear. I knew you were very smart."
Tuesday morning, after a wonderful soup at dinner the night before, rich with mushrooms, Daryl woke up with severe stomach cramps. Sherrie seemed concerned but the patient stayed in bed after she left for work. His first thought was, "One of the mushrooms was poison...but no, I served the soup and Sherrie ate more than I did out of the same pot." To and from the toilet, he began to think back about everything he had eaten and wondered what could possibly cause this?"
