It was a dark and stormy night. Not really, I just wanted to start a story saying that. I'm Joe Friday, no relation to Jack Webb on the old series 'Dragnet', although I am a detective.
I arrived home one evening and my wife Megan told me we received an invitation to my college reunion. They were going to make it a Halloween theme with everyone in costume. I wasn't exactly happy to hear this.
Megan had met very few of my college friends. It wasn't a part of my life I wanted to share with her. We met shortly after I graduated from college and entered the police academy. She worked at the local grocery store as a cashier and I was struck with her being quite naΓ―ve and seeming so innocent. She was so different from the college girls I'd been with.
I began going to her checkout line every time I entered the store. She was so cute and I loved to tease her. I would make up stories about finding dead bodies and she would believe everything I told her. Then I would tell her the truth and she would laugh and hit me. I asked her out on a date and she agreed to go out with me. She told me she would feel safe with a cop. After a year of dating, I asked her to marry me. Before she said yes, she asked me if I was joking, because it wasn't funny if I was.
"No joke Megan. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life waking up next to you." She said yes and we've been happily married ever since. We now have two kids, Amy, who is four and Joe Jr. who is two. We call him Joey.

I need to explain a bit about my high school and college days. In school I was an athlete and a very good one. There was no sport I couldn't play. I ended up getting a scholarship to play rugby at an Ivy league school. I could never have afforded to go there without the scholarship.
I was a really horny bastard in my younger days. I'd fuck any girl/woman that moved if she was willing. My moral compass definitely wasn't the best. My rugby mates were almost as bad as I was. One in particular, Dean, was even worse. Most of my teammates came from money. They all had nice cars and wads of money that they often used to buy their way out of trouble. I was considered the quiet one. Since I was one of the best players on the team, I was befriended by the wealthy players. Not having money was not a problem because Dean always offered to pay for me. He told me my shyness brought on the girls.
There are two forms of Rugby. A maximum of 15 players can play rugby union at any one time whereas rugby league permits 13 players. We were part of the rugby league and were a close knit group of guys. As I mentioned, most were horny bastards just like me.
We had a lot of toadies; women who followed us most anywhere. The funny thing is these were really good looking women who just wanted to have fun while in college. When we had our parties, dozens of women would come. If I was to be honest, I would have to say that I had sex with dozens of fine looking women.
Some of my rugby buddies ended up marrying some of our wild followers, knowing that they had been fucked by a lot of us. I'd been in twosomes, threesomes and moresomes with these people. It was a pretty powerful feeling to fuck a woman in front of her man.
Dean, our captain and self named leader, married Anna who was a beautiful woman. She did modeling on the side while in college and she liked showing off her body. I must have had sex with her a half dozen times with just us and another half dozen times with Dean joining.
By the time I graduated, I grew out of the need to share women. Most of my rugby teammates graduated and went into different professions. Many went into their family businesses. As for me, I went on to the police academy and did my best to leave my reckless past behind me.
Now and then I would come across one of my old friends. It was a bit difficult looking at some of their wives knowing I had had sex with them. I do believe many of them put their past behind them also. I know when I talked to a few of the wives they told me they went to college to have a good time and to find a rich husband. I guess they reached their goal.
A few times I ran into a couple while I was with Megan and the guys kidded her about me being the shy guy whom the ladies loved. I don't think she really caught on, thinking they all joked like I did. I know a couple of the guys said they wished she would have joined our parties during our college days. I know Megan felt flattered. The last thing I would ever do is share Megan. She was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Megan is a real cutie. She looks great and is friendly to everyone. She's just a shorty at five feet and somewhere over a hundred and ten pounds. She looks much younger than her thirty years. She's a natural blue eyed blond that always seems genuinely happy and she rarely argues. In addition, she's a great mother and just an all around happy person.
We have a great marriage and two great kids. We do things as a family all of the time. Being a cop I know how bad it is out there and will do anything to protect my family. Megan's mother watches the kids while Megan works part time.
I wish I would have caught the invitation to the party. I would have ripped it up and thrown it away. These weren't the kind of friends I wanted my wife to be around. Hopefully more of them changed. Since we didn't go out much as a couple, Megan was really excited to go to this reunion Halloween party.
Dean and Anna set up the venue in an old funeral parlor. They hired a DJ to play music from our time and catered in the food. It was mostly finger foods, but there was every kind of finger food you could think of all done in a Halloween theme. They had a bring your own booze stipulation since there wasn't a bar.
Dean asked for a meeting with about six of the couples to explain and get more ideas for the party. He explained the venue and about the costumes and all about the party itself. I couldn't make it to the meeting but Megan went to it without me. I wasn't happy about that but she said it was nice meeting some of my old friends.
The party was a month away and Megan was all excited. She began talking with Anna on the phone about costumes and other things. I wasn't happy about hanging with people from my horny days but what could I do without telling her about my past. I just had to hope that Anna wouldn't say anything. After this party we didn't have to see these people again.
One day Megan came home and said her car broke down, again. It hadn't been very dependable for the last few months. She said she was tired of constantly getting it repaired and wanted another vehicle. I explained to her that we didn't have the money for a decent down payment to put on another vehicle. She told me that Anna had a friend that owned a used car lot and had a used Nissan for sale. She had already looked at it and thought it would be perfect for her.
"Megan, we don't have the money for another car right now. We can get the old one fixed and maybe get one when I get my bonus at the end of the year."
"Joe, all I need is a six hundred dollars down along with my old car and I can make payments of two hundred a month for three years."
"That's not the point. We don't have six hundred dollars to spare right now. The holidays are coming up and money is tight. As I said, maybe after the first of the year when I get my bonus. I'm sorry Honey, we just don't have the down payment."
"If I can get the down payment, can I get the car? It's really the car I'm looking for."
