Dear Jon,
I can't tell you how much our "meeting" meant to me Monday. Mike has been so much more attentive, and our twenty sixth year has begun like we were newlyweds. You opened our eyes so much, mine to how good a passionate man can fell, and his to how good it can feel to be passionate. I am looking forward to our meeting Friday when we can discuss your financial plan properly. It would be good to finish with just the two of us, but at a later meeting, I would like to meet Nan and maybe involve her in a "discussion" of your situation. Let's skip the restaurant this time, just drop by my home office around 12:30 and we'll continue our meeting where we left off on Monday.
Sincerely,
Ann
Dear Ann,
It's a date.
Love,
Jon
So many unresolved questions were left in my mind. How would I fit in Ann's world, and she in mine. How would I get along with Mike? How would my marriage change? Should I tell Nan? How? Should I involve her in this strangely developing episode? What about my kids? Would this affect my job? Ann's job? Could I really make a 10% return on an emerging Asian markets mutual fund which Ann recommended?
No, that last one was not a ridiculous quip aimed at a last ditch effort to make you laugh. Well, maybe it was a little. But it was truly my most serious concern in all those questions. Something inside me told me this was all going to work out, and work out for the best. Something told me, this was going to be a really good thing for all of us, and everyone would wind up a little happier, a little more satisfied, a little more in love, and a lot more loved on the other end.
How would all of this happen? Well, those are other stories for other days.
Ann, Episode 2
Dear Jon,
I'll see you tomorrow at 1:00, but this time come directly to my house. I have had the most amazing week with Mike, and I have a special gift planned to thank you for putting us back together as you did Monday afternoon.
Sincerely,
Ann
Dear Ann,
I can't wait to see what you have planned for me. You should know how appreciative I am of your efforts to solve my very hard problem. Stirring Mike up a little bit for you is my pleasure, and I am eagerly looking forward to an even more productive meeting tomorrow. As a matter of fact, if you can imagine it, my problem seems to be growing even as I write this email, and may be harder than you expect.
Love,
Jon
It appeared I may have created a monster. I met Jon last week, in an innocently professional capacity. He was so cute, I felt butterflies in my stomach throughout our first meeting. I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my business with him if I met him alone again, so I agreed to meet him Monday for lunch, which just happened to be Mike and my anniversary. That way I'd have a reason to have Mike nearby to keep me from feeling, well, feeling flirtatious. Is that the right word, really? No, maybe desirous. Ok, he made me feel horny. I wanted to absolutely jump him in the back seat of my car as soon as I could!
But that wasn't my style. No, I had carefully cultivated the air and attitude of a financial professional. I would achieve success at work, even if I couldn't seem to get success out of Mike in the bedroom.
Mike, Mike, Mike. He wasn't quite the lover he used to be. He was never really a fine lover because ofโฆwell because of his physical endowments. He had thin lips, thinner hair, and a manhood that was, well, thinnest of all. When I first met him at college, his fraternity brothers had called him graphite, because that part of him resembled a pencil. He was always sporting an erection, but it barely raised a bump under the thinnest of fabrics, because it was so thin, it just bent and collapsed under the weight of whatever he wore.
Mike attracted me with pure devotion, and pure love. He would do anything I wished, and even things I didn't know I wanted, just to make me smile. He never made me feel uncomfortable, and never came on strong like other guys I had dated. He made me melt. When we finally made love, he took my virginity with his pencil in such a comforting loving way, I knew I had to have him as my mate.
We graduated, married, and both got good jobs. Sex was frequent and hot, and he did whatever I needed to satisfy me. It wasn't a difficult task, even though he was on the small side. I had only known him, and even though I had seen other men, he felt good every time we had sex.
Then he started drinking heavily. At first he would come home a little tipsy from a three martini lunch, then a little stumbly from a four martini round of golf. His drunken escapades never got in the way of work, and he became very successful selling real estate. It was his success rate in the bedroom that started to slip, until those successes were few and far between.
Stangely, along with the drinking came a bizarre fascination with sexual deviances. Mike couldn't perform with me, but never the less became very fond of raunchy pornographic videos and erotic literature. I offered to share many times with him, watching his DVD's. They did little for me, and Mike would wind up either falling asleep, or fucking me in a slam bam thank you ma'am style as soon as he saw a moving cum shot on screen.
I remained loyal however, and poured my misguided energies into my work. As I became more frustrated at home, I became clearer and sharper at work, until my client list sported many of the wealthier people in town. In fact, I had to take on a second administrative assistant to handle the paperwork I was generating. I began to see sex as a younger woman's diversion, while generating wealth for my clients and pocketing a good percentage of their earnings as my commissions was more appropriate for a woman my age.
When I met Mike at the restaurant last Friday, he was already several drinks into his lunch. It was our 25
th
anniversary, and I had hoped if I could kindle a Romantic flame before the drinking lamp was lit in Mike, we might actually be able to have a romantic celebration that both of us would remember the next day.
In attempting to kill two birds with one stone, I wound up missing both targets. Mike was drunk anyway and on his worst behavior. Mike was drunk already by 12:30, and as expected, ready to play one of his games. Then I nearly lost Jon as a client.
I knew Jon had spotted Mike pulling my skirt up. I fought it off several times, but as he became bolder, I decided to see just how far he would take exposing me in public. Jon was a new client, so if he was offended, I could just tell my supervisor he was a dry lead. If, however, he didn't react negatively, well, as I said before. He was soooooo cute.
Jon surprised us both. He defended me, and humiliated Mike for his public behavior. I had never had a man play the role of my white knight, and though I knew I had to berate Mike for what he did, I knew I had to have more contact with this tall gentle man.
I sent Mike to try and apologize while I paid the check. As I caught up to them in the parking lot, Mike fell, hit his head and passed out. Jon helped me get him home. One thing led to another, and he kissed me
