This isn't a stroke story. It doesn't contain lengthy vivid sex acts. It is multi chapters. It is wordy. It deals with cheating, infidelity and unknowing partners who find resolution in their own way. And no, they don't submissively 'go with it'. There are some violent acts portrayed none of which end in death or jail.
I'm not about favorites, story ratings. I do look at reader numbers. So, to the 100 people that read my stories - thank you, I appreciate it. Answers to commentators require honest answers but my real job makes life pretty busy all the damn time and I'm lazy. Any and all writing, spelling and punctuation errors are mine. Have a great day

From the end of CHAPTER 01.
"
Nicky had a big smile on her face but said nothing but Eloise was like me. A very near miss. Anyway what about you little miss innocent?"
"Ah. No Pam. No story here I'm afraid."
"
Really. What about Wayne Roberts Kase? Are you telling me nothing went on? After all he was your contact for the reservations. (The last bit wasn't a question it was a statement. Hmm. And who in the fuck is Wayne Roberts).
"
No. We were just old college friends. Nothing else. One of my old girlfriends Lynley Cross, she was one of my bridesmaids ran into Wayne and he asked her for a contact so we started texting, emails, just the odd one now and again and that's how we ended up there for our two days. Anyway after THAT weekend I told him I didn't appreciate the forced male attention and we kinda don't stay in contact now."
"
So Eloise saying she saw you two heading for your room was wrong?"
"
Yes! Yeah totally. Shes mistaken Pam. It wasn't me"
"
Really Kase. Well ya know what? I'm calling bullshit on that. You know why Kasey? Because I was with Eloise at the time and I saw the same thing."
CHAPTER 02. Good Things happen to Bad People.
Things remained quiet for ten to fifteen seconds before an obviously (from her tone) pissed-off Kasey launched her attack
, "Oh well, I guess you caught me out then Pam. I guess it doesn't matter what I say now you've made your mind up and I must have done the dirty on my husband just like the rest of you huh?
Pam interrupted Kasey's rant,
"Steady on Kase..."
(Jesus Pam. Wrong thing to say)
"STEADY-fucking-ON. I'll give you steady-fucking-on Pamela. Okay so you want a reason as to why I was sneaking Wayne up to my room? Well here it is! In all its gory detail. Your mother. Gayle. Was blind drunk amongst other things. I could hardly get her to the lift. I got her to my room when in fact I shoulda just rung for an ambulance.
But no, no, no. Stupid me thought, you know! Keep it on the down low. I called the front desk to get hold of Wayne and I was told he was tied up. I knew that wasn't right, I'd seen him laughing and talking with his guys in the bar. I stormed down and informed him if he didn't help me I'd call the ambulance and the cops and they could sort out what it was his friends dosed Gayle with.
By the time we got to my room I'd scared him so shitless he panicked. He and a female staff member took care of your mother until his doctor arrived. You know now why she was subdued on the drive home.
Actually with your revelations it all makes sense now. I thought Eloise looked worse for wear than your mother. She was wasn't she Pam? But not because of alcohol or drugs though was it? Its because if your husbands' found out you'd both be out on your asses. Now fuck you very much I've got a doubly guilty conscience for organizing that weekend based on what happened to you three as well as Gayle.
Not that I'm any better Pam. I kept everything from Reeg. I told myself it was because he'd shown no interest in our shopping or spa trips so he'd not be interested in the resort weekend. He didn't know about your mothers affair so he still trusted things were solid between your parents. I didn't tell him I'd reconnected with Wayne and never told him about the texts or emails for the same reason. If he finds out about any of it or what you guys did we'll all be out on our asses.
(pause and silence)
.
Hahahahuh, Ironically the only one comes out not getting the boot is Nicky. Hahaha, too much."
Another lengthy pause before my sister spoke,
"Well Kase, whats done is done, and I'm not about to go blabbing. Thank god mum doesn't know, but thank fuck Reeg doesn't, that'd be scorched earth right there. You're husband is such a boy scout Kase."
"Brians just the same Pam. Is Dan the stay and work it out type?"
"Nope!"
