Jack sits motionless trying not to gag from the strong smell of the odd thin man who is arguing loudly over the phone and paying little attention to the road. The language the driver is using is completely foreign to him, and Jack feels that fate has somehow placed him in this cab ride from hell. As he tries to tone out the arguing driver Jack tells himself they probably won't crash. Then he cradles his head in his hands wondering to how his life has gone so bad, so fast.
Only one short year ago Jack's life seemed to be perfect. The MIT graduate had the job of his dreams. Janet, his beautiful wife of three years loved him and they were talking about starting a family. They had two nice cars and a beautiful home. Jack loved his wife, he loved his job, and he was making good money. Jack had the kind of life that many can only dream of.
Then the economy took a hard left, and Jack lost his job. Unemployment rates were at a fifty year high. Jack couldn't even land a job as a grocery clerk. Janet's daycare job barely paid enough to make their house payment. Even after selling one of their cars, they blew through their savings in a few short months. Jack and Janet were living off of their credit cards and were deep in debt, and without his wife's loving support Jack might have just given up.
With nowhere else to turn Jack regularly begged his old boss to hire him back, but there was never an opening. Eventually the company did take him on, but in a low level commission based sales position instead of in engineering where he belonged. Jack was working his ass off and making almost no money.
He also can't stand his new boss Christine Baker. To Jack, Christine is like Jekyll and Hyde. She pretty and sweet on the outside, but mean and manipulative on the inside; and Jack generally gets the meaner Hyde side of Christine. On top of that she treats Jack like her person assistant, calling at all hours ordering him to take on impossible tasks with ridiculous deadlines.
As Jack sits in the cab resenting Christine he can't decide what he hates more; the way she manipulates everyone around her, or how demanding she gets when things aren't going her way. He knows what he hates most though. It's the way she makes him be her wingman while she makes sexual advances towards customers.
Jack had always heard Christine used sex to close sales, and now he knew it was true. When Jack complained, Christine told him it was how it is done in sales, and was quick to remind him that that he was damn lucky to have a job.
In the last few weeks Christine's constant calls to Jack's home have been the cause of some tension between Jack and his wife. Janet has all but accused him of having more than a working relationship with his boss, and constantly checks in when Jack is on a sales trip to make sure he isn't somewhere alone with Christine.
That all seems so absurd to Jack. The very thought of having an affair with Christine repulses him. Even though she is exceptionally pretty, Jack just sees a manipulative spoiled brat and can't stand her. Jack hates working for her and seriously thinks about quitting his job several times a day, but he is too far in debt to be out of work again.
But none of that matters right now. Jack will be home soon and his thoughts turn to his loving wife and their attempts to start a family. He remembers how they thought starting a family would be as simple as stopping the birth control, but months went by and nothing happened. After that Janet stepped up the effort with more frequent sex. Jack never thought he could feel this way, but his sex life quickly went from making love to being a chore.
When the frequent sex didn't work they talked about Jack going to a fertility clinic to have his little swimmers checked. They didn't really know if his sperm count was a problem, but Jack's orgasms never produced more than one or two little spurts of semen. Then when Jack lost his job, all of Janet's extra efforts to get pregnant stopped. Janet didn't go back on birth control, but the sex became much less frequent.
Then Jack remembers how nearly the day he went back to work Janet started up the effort to get pregnant again. She had been reading about infertility, and had some new ways to help Jack deliver more sperm. Her new tactic was to tease Jack as long as she could before he fucked her so he would come harder and ejaculate more.
Jack enjoyed the teasing, and loved the cute 'look at me being naughty' smile Janet would get while she was doing it. His favorite tease was when Janet would thoroughly lick his cock and balls, before finally taking his cock in her mouth and sucking it until he was about to come. Before this she had always been reluctant to suck his cock out of fear he would accidentally come in her mouth. Now Janet was licking and sucking him regularly, but with strict orders not to come.
Jack chuckled to himself remembering the night just a couple of weeks into Janet's new plan. Janet was trying some new cock sucking techniques she had read about in a magazine. She already had Jack's cock tingling at the edge of an orgasm when she tried this one where she jacked the shaft while quickly sliding her tongue under the head as she sucked. Only a few short seconds of this and Jack had an accident in Janet's mouth.
Janet was so pissed. She made the worst possible face, and immediately spit it into her hand. Then she held it up and told Jack that might have been their baby. He tried to explain that she made him do it, but she was still pissed at him. Jack remembers her long icy glare just before saying, "God that was so fucking gross". He also remembers trying not to laugh when he asked if it was the taste or the texture, but Janet wasn't amused. From then on Janet called that technique the 'cum in mouth' move and refused to ever do it again.
Suddenly Jack is jolted back to reality as the cabbie yells out an obvious foreign obscenity and throws his phone violently into the windshield. Jack is relieved that the loud argument is finally over, but becomes aware of the driver's peculiar odor once again. Jack had no clue what that argument had been about, but his bet was that it was about the driver's bathing habits. Then Jack's mind starts to drift off again as he thinks about the disaster of a business trip that had him in the back of this stench filled cab in the first place.
This trip had been a total cluster fuck from the start. Christine called him at the last minute to take a flight to Philly. She had set up a dinner with a customer's entire technical team, followed by two days of meetings so that Jack could present nearly the entire product line.
Jack told Christine he wasn't prepared to present that much material, but she told Jack not to worry because the sale was in the bag. Then she promised that this would be the big paycheck they had been waiting for. A big paycheck was exactly what Jack needed, but somehow he couldn't trust Christine's promise. Jack hung up from talking to Christine, grabbed his travel bag, and Janet drove him to the airport.
