It's fun when you know more about the plans of the person who's going to try to screw you over than she thinks you do. It's even more fun when you have a plan of your own to return the favor.
My wife had been fucking her boss for some time, about six months I reckon. She is a beautiful woman, she enjoys sex very much, and one would think she'd be the perfect wife. But she has one terrible fault - she is a cheat. Add to that the fact that she's a lousy liar and it isn't hard to know something is up when something is up. Like her boss's cock.
Some people when they suspect their spouse is cheating hire a private investigator. I didn't have to, because sweet Julie was so damned obvious. And our marriage had deteriorated to the point that she didn't even really try to conceal her indiscretions from me. She seemed to think that if I knew, I'll just put up with it.
And up to a point, she was right. So long as she continued to make the effort to appear to be a good wife, I looked the other way. She never pulled any of that sick shit of trying to get me to clean her lover's cum from her pussy, or take sloppy seconds. On days when she had been playing with him, she steered clear of me. And that was fine, because I made it a point to fuck her on her off days. And also, I quit going down on her any more, just in case she decided to change the unspoken deal.
Oh, I had a little fun with her from time to time. A couple of times I parked my car next to hers outside their motel room and walked away. She knows my "Fighting Illini" bumper sticker and I would leave stuff she'd recognize on the seat. She never saw me, but I would take up a post where I could get a good photo of them coming out the door when they were finished. I've seen her spot my car, look startled, then look around for me. But when she didn't see me, she shrugged it off, climbed in her car and drove off.
I guess you would say we had kind of a "don't ask, don't tell" game going on. She clearly did not want to bring things to a head by confessing anything, and I did not want to spring my trap until I was ready. In the meantime, the sex was still good and we got along amiably.
Some people would fault me for tolerating her behavior. But don't mistake inaction for acceptance. I had a plan and all I needed to do is wait for the proper moment to put it into play. And, truth be told, I wasn't completely inactive. I work for a technology company. I'm not a geek, I'm a bean counter, but I have access to some goodies from time to time. Like a tiny audio recorder, disguised in what looks like a tube of lipstick. Real James Bond stuff. She carried that voice activated recorder in her purse for several weeks. I downloaded it to my computer every once in a while when she was in the shower or otherwise not paying attention. I learned about their dates before they happened. I learned their code words. "I'm going to eat a bologna sandwich" means, well, you can guess. "I have tickets for the ball game" means they're getting together to fuck. I also learned that their nickname for me was "Stubby." Which is really rather amusing, because I pack a bigger-than-average male member. I guess she told him otherwise to make him feel superior. Trust me, I know this guy, and he ain't superior in any important way. He's taller than I am, and spends more time in the gym, but that's about all he can claim.
I should tell you that Julie is a very attractive woman. She's 40 now, and could pass for 39. She has a curvy figure - a little better-padded now than it was when we got married 15 years ago, but still shapely and desirable. Some men like their women with a little padding on them, and I happen to be one of them. So, apparently, was her lover. They worked for a company that manufactures home furnishings. Well, actually they don't manufacture anything. They import stuff from China and slap their logo on it. He was a regional sales manager, and she was his "personal assistant." Very personal.
I had been working on my plan for several weeks. One night when Julie was "out with the girls," AKA fucking her boss, I made a short trip to a place that was known as a pick-up bar. I had never patronized the establishment because picking up barflies is not my thing. But on this occasion I had a couple of drinks at the bar and chatted up the bartender a little bit. Trying to be conversational, I told him I wanted to give my cheating wife a little mischief and asked if he knew where I could score ruffies. I needn't have been coy. Without blinking he pointed out a guy in a corner booth. "Vito will have whatever you need. Tell him Phil sent you."
I sidled over to the booth after leaving Phil a cash token of appreciation. Vito didn't get up when I introduced myself. I told him Phil had sent me over. I told him my story about the cheating wife. "Y'know, I really don't give a shit about your problems," he said with a sardonic grin. "I'm interested in your money. Just what do you need?"
I told him I needed some ruffies, he told me $50 a pop, and I bought four. He pocketed my $200. He had me reach my hand under the table and he slipped me four paper packets each with a pill inside. He told me they were pretty much tasteless, so they wouldn't be noticed in a drink, "Especially if they've already had a few." He winked. I thanked him and went back to my car. I did a little self-examination sobriety test to be sure I could drive. Evidently Phil had watered down my drinks enough that I was still functional.
I beat Julie home, took a quick shower to wash off the smell of the bar, hid my purchases in my shaving kit, and was feigning sleep when Julie arrived home, trying to be quiet. She went straight to the shower, then crawled in next to me a little while later. We didn't cuddle.
Two days later I contacted one of those "We will buy your house in 72 hours" companies that advertise on TV. I made an appointment. The guy came to the house the next day while Julie was at work. I had taken comp time off from work for the afternoon. We agreed on a price, and I had him make out all the paperwork except for the date. As it happened, I had bought the house before Julie and I got married, so only my name was on the deed.
I went to a divorce attorney and had papers drawn up. Ours is a no-fault state, so there would be no drama around the divorce. I told him to hang onto the papers until I called him.
Those pieces in place, I relaxed and bided my time, waiting for Julie to tell me about the convention in New Orleans that was coming up in a week. She told me over dinner one night. She said that her boss had asked her to come along to help him to cover sessions and to assist him when he made a presentation on the details of the new tax law and how it would impact their industry. Somebody in their accounting department had written it, but as he was the face of the company at conventions, Julie's boss would be presenting it.
I had been waiting for her to spring this on me - it's an annual convention after all, and she had gone with her boss to "help him" the year before. And, of course, I had eavesdropped on them making their plans with my little recorder.
"The convention lasts a week, so I guess you'll have to fend for yourself," she told me. "We'll leave Sunday afternoon and return the Saturday morning." I noted to myself that they were giving themselves an extra night together at the beginning and end of the week. "I'll make some casseroles you can heat up and I'll leave you some frozen meals," she said. She closed in for a hug and kissed me. "I'm sorry about this, honey, but Jerry really needs my help. I'll miss you so much."
