It shouldn't have happened
A betrayal of not only my husband but also myself
You can never assume that you know what you would do in a certain situation. Even with all the life experiences you possess would you think you would put yourself into such a precarious position. Maybe it is my moral compass, but I scoffed at other women that got themselves in similar situations. And I would never believe that my life would have taken this direction.
I'm Barbara, (Barb), at 33 a seven-year happily married woman, mother of two with an active marital sex life, and a stable job. What could be more satisfying than that? After two children, and being in a stable home life, I haven't let myself go but I don't worry about my looks. I do eat healthily, and run a couple of times a week. I'm 5 feet 5 inches and stay consistently around 125 pounds. I am a real blond, but no dummy as I hold an MBA from Michigan. Go Wolverines!!! I married the year I received my undergraduate degree. Our first child, Lindsay, was born two weeks after my MBA graduation.
After graduation, and six months off for bonding with my daughter, I really didn't want to go into the corporate management world. I happened into a job as a procurement director at a local manufacturing and distribution company. Not that I really needed to work. Bill, my husband, is a corporate attorney and provides well for our family. I guess that it is a sense of responsibility that drove me to get a job. After five years of college, I felt there was only so much social and civic work that I could do. I needed to do something with my life, and be a role model for my daughter, now daughters.
My work is not that demanding giving me ample time to be productive as well as being a mom. One aspect of my job is to meet with various salesmen who are pushing their wares to my company to purchase. Basically, keeping expenses low by finding products or services at a lesser cost is my job, and I'm good at it.
Mark is one of those salesmen. He'd been calling on our company every two weeks for about six months. Although his company has good products, I just can't get them to a price point to justify using their company.
It was Friday and I was looking forward to a lazy weekend with my family. I really was looking forward to my regular Saturday morning run. It was somewhat a family tradition that on Saturdays Bill would get the girls up, make them breakfast, and they would have some activities and have bonding time. That gave me some time for my run and me.
On that Friday, I needed to grab a quick lunch as I had an afternoon meeting. As I was getting out of my car at a local deli, so was Mark. As we stood in line, Mark said: "Let me buy lunch, my company will pay for it, but you are under no obligation to eat with me." I responded that I had to be back in the office in 45 minutes for a conference call, but I didn't object to having lunch with him.
The conversation was totally non-business, which I wouldn't have expected. It was about what was planned for the weekend. I told him about my family life and weekend plans, and of course, my Saturday run. I found out he was divorced, and also a runner. Mark said his house backs up to a neighborhood park, and if I wanted some company and competition on my run, meet him at the park shelter around 9 am on Saturday.
The conference call had consumed my mind all afternoon. It wasn't until I was driving home that I thought about Mark's offer. Bill had no interest in running, so I always ran alone. My first thought was I shouldn't mix personal with business. But then I thought I wouldn't mind the company, and the challenge of having someone to run against.
At fifteen to nine on Saturday morning I parked in front of the shelter in Mark's neighborhood. I was doing my stretching when I heard Mark.
"I was wondering if you would show up", Mark said as he walked up. "Are you ready to get outpaced?"
Well, that flipped my competitive switch, "I would be if there was someone that could outpace me", I replied.
It was a light workout as we started our jog, but got more competitive the further away from the shelter. I don't know if I didn't fully stretch or what, but as we kicked it into another gear I felt a sudden pain in my back left thigh. I was glad that I was running with Mark because in two more steps the cramp became debilitating. I fell forward and grabbed Mark from behind. Luckily he realized I was in trouble and cradled my fall. If he hadn't had been there I could've been seriously been injured.
I was in agony. The more I tried to stretch out my leg, the more it hurt. Mark held my head in his lap as I tried various contortions to alleviate the pain. As I was moving around in his lap I thought I felt something growing. With that in mind, and when I thought I was stabilized, I asked Mark to help me up. I walked about three feet and collapsed once again. Luckily we were close to Mark's house, and between limping and Mark carrying me; we soon got to his house.
Carrying me into his den Mark wanted to sit me in a chair, but I said I couldn't do that. I asked that he put me on the floor and I started to stretch again. The pain would not subside. Mark asked if he could try to massage it out. At that point, I didn't care as long as it relieved the pain.
Mark left to get some oil and when he came back he started lightly rubbing the back of my leg while I lay on my stomach. He began more pressure as I got accustomed to his movement. His motions got more aggressive as I felt him kneading my muscle on the inside of my thigh. His movements progressed to gradually glancing that special place between my legs. The excruciating pain subsided as his movements became more aggressive. The side of his hand now was consistently touching my covered vulva. The pain had been replaced in my mind by the thought of his hardening mass while my head was in his lap together with the repeated touching of my vulva. Shit, I was wet! I had to get up; he could see the wetness between my legs. As I tried to get up, the pain returned and I fell flat.
"Hold on there FloJo, you just can't just jump up and run. You are going to have to take some time stretching before you can walk. You're starting to tense-up elsewhere. Let me massage your leg while you start lifting it easily", said Mark.
Mark straddled me over my butt, got some more oil and started rubbing. Every so often I would raise my leg in hopes the pain would subside. With his angle, the frequency of Mark's hand hitting my vulva was increasing. As the pain subsided, I started to sink into an arousal haze. I don't know when it occurred, but I became very aware of the return of that hardening mass between Mark's legs. It seemed to be moving down my butt each time Mark would touch my covered pussy. The more movement, the more aroused I became.
Unexpectedly Mark turned around, still hovering above my butt he started to rub my shoulders. Although I longed for him to touch me between the legs I thought, 'This is good; it will allow me to get a grip and leave'.
In only a moment, Mark said, "This isn't going to work" and reach under the bottom of my sports top and ran it up my back. Without any thought, I pulled my hands above my head, pushed up and allowed him to remove my top. As my breast hit his carpet, I thought, 'What the hell did I just do'?
Mark splashed some more oil on his hands and starting rubbing and kneading my shoulders. With a fluid motion, Mark ran his hands along my ribs and side stroked my breast. Although I should have said something I didn't, and he continued his stroking. After a few moments, without any conscious thought, I raised my chest and allowed Mark to massage my uncovered breast. He retrieved more oil and kneaded my breast, tweaked and twisted my nipples.
I heard a guttural moan, it sounded primal, and then realized the moan came from me. Mark leaned up, swished my hair to the side and kissed my neck. As if I wasn't wet down there before, I was then gushing. My thoughts were blocked by the build-up of my passion. The continued twisting and pinching of my nipples was stirring that twitch between my legs. When he kissed my neck again, Mark whispered, "Rollover".
