Jane and I and Bridget and George had been close friends for many years. Bridget and George had moved away several times but always ended up back in Florida. Jane and I had stayed put and had done well. No matter where they lived we always got together several times a year if we could.
My wife, Jane is a very pretty woman. At 32 she shows no signs of being the mother of four children from 5 to 11 years old. She is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. She has light brown hair and hazel eyes. She has very, very nice figure.
I, on the other hand, am a slim broad shouldered guy. 5 feet 11 inches and about 155 pounds. Brown hair , green eyes in a nice but not handsome face. I have a company that investigates and settles insurance claims. I worked in construction and as a boat mechanic for several years. I do building claims and marine claims primarily. I have five other adjusters who work for me and two investigators. All the hurricanes that came through last year meant big bucks for us.
Bridget was 30 years old, about five feet tall and had a super figure. She was really very sweet and one of my favorite people in the whole world. Her husband, George was a very nice guy. We hunted and fished together for years. He was an electrician.
I was working my butt off when Jane grinned at me and told me Bridget and George were back in town. I told her that was great and to plan a get together as soon possible. I went in the den and played back the tapes for that week from my #1 recorder. It was the fastest way to get all the information I collected into my computer. I worked until Jane called me for dinner. She seemed a lot happier than I had seen her lately. I knew I had been neglecting her a lot lately. I knew she knew I loved her and was working my butt off for us.
I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. When I woke up in the morning Jane was still asleep. I went through my dressing routine and was on my way out when I remembered I wanted to change recorders. My #2 recorder was not in my desk. Then I remembered reviewing some tapes before erasing them. I had listened to them last Saturday while Jane took the kids shopping. I had listened to them while I lay on our bed. I had put it in the cupboard in the head board of the bed. I slipped up stairs and swapped recorders. Jane was still in bed. I was on my way.
Three days later I took both recorders to work with me. I reviewed some data from #1 when the tape clicked and I heard Jane say, "Oh! Georgie, I have missed you so much. Kiss me, I can't get enough of your kisses. God you taste good. I love for you to wake me up like this. Get your clothes off and fuck me. I need you bad.
"I need you too, Jane Dear, I love that pussy. You know I do."
"Oh! Yes that feels Sooooo Gooood. I had forgotten how good your cock feels. Yes, Harder, Faster. That's wonderful."
I could hear the sounds of raw sex. The slapping together of bodies, the moans, grunts and sucking and slurping noises. Then it was quiet. "Jane, how is old Frank treating you."
"He is really great. I love him too you know. Not the way I love you but I do love him. I think we need to stop doing this. I couldn't take it if he caught us."
"Right, girl, we need to be real careful. No telling what he would do if he found out he was raising my four kids."
"I know, I pray he will never find out. What about Bridget, does she suspect anything. How did you explain all those times we met when I was supposed to be visiting my mother."
"I just told her I had to deliver a truck to Georgia or somewhere. Come on, my cock is hard again, I want to fuck your sweet ass again."
"There is some lube in Frank's drawer over there in the night stand. Yes, that feels good, easy now, no one has ever been there but you Darling and it has been a long time, six months, since you fucked my ass."
I sat at my desk in pure shock. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I knew Jane and George had dated before she met me. But this! I was crushed. I wanted to rush home and beat the crap out of both of them. I turned the tape on again. Jane was saying she would talk to Bridget about them coming over for dinner Friday or Saturday night. Frank said he had to go. "I'll see you tomorrow morning."
"OH! That might not be a good idea, wait a while."
"No I'll be here tomorrow, then we will quit for a week or so."
"OK. But be careful."
I got up and locked my office door and told Alice, my secretary I didn't want to be disturbed for anything." I sat and thought about what I had just heard. I was heart broken. This had been going on since before we were married! How could I have been so stupid. I had trusted Jane with my life. My kids weren't even mine. I couldn't think. There was no one I could even talk to. God, what a fool I must seem to them. No an asshole. What could I do. I loved those kids. There was no way I could take them away from Jane. I would just have to walk away from everything I had ever really loved. I would never be able to trust Jane again no matter what. My life as it had been was over. I just sat and cried.
I thought about poor Bridget. I decided to call her. I got their new number from information. I called her. She seemed happy to hear from me. She asked how Jane was. I couldn't answer. She asked again and I started crying, I couldn't help it. She said, "Oh Dear God, you found out. Right?"
"Yeah! How long have you known?"
"Please meet me somewhere Frank, Please. I know this is killing you. We need to talk. Please meet me at the Pub on Riverwood. OK."
I dried my eyes. "When?"
"Half an hour."
"I'll be out front."
I met Bridget and when she saw me she ran to me and hugged and gently kissed me. We both cried for a while.
I said, "I think I need a stiff drink. How about you?"
"I guess I could use one too."
We talked for hours, I told her about the tape. She said she had been suspicious of the two of them for a long time but thought it was probably just jealousy. Then she over heard George talking to Jane on the phone when he didn't know she was in the house. That had been two years ago. She said she didn't know what to do about it. It had killed her love for George. She wouldn't let her touch her anymore but had never told him why. He had forced her to have sex several times. She said she was ready to sue him for divorce. I looked at her and held her hand. "Bridget, if you need money, I have plenty, a lot Jane doesn't even know about."
"No, I inherited a lot of money from my grandfather a few years ago. I have it in a trust. It is a LOT of money, Frank doesn't know about mine either."
"I wonder if that isn't what this was all about."
"What do you mean?"
"George told me for years he thought you would inherit a bundle of money from your Dad. Jane thinks I am going to inherit a large sum from my folks when they die, she doesn't know they have been slowly transferring it to me for years."
"You don't think they planned to marry us and wait for us to come into money do you."
"Makes sense to me. But then I am not too bright. Do you know the kids are all his?"
He hands flew to her face. She stared at me. "God, You poor Dear. How could they do that to anyone, much less you. You are the sweetest, nicest guy I know."
"Bridget, talking to you has helped a whole lot. I don't know what I would have done with out you."
"What are you going to do tonight, will you go home?"
"I just don't know, I wish I could just be with you. You are hurting too and you are worried about me."
"Why don't we do it?"
"What?"
"Spend the night together. I'll go home and get some things and we can get a room somewhere for the night. Don't get any ideas, we will have two beds. But they won't know that, if they ask, tell them the truth. We spent the night together, no reasons, no accusing them of anything, we just did it because we wanted to. Meanwhile we see some lawyers. Before we go home."
"Sounds damned good to me. He has a date to screw Jane in the morning after I leave for work. I was not planning on ever sleeping in that bed again. Do you want to hear the tape?"
"Yes I do, I want a copy too."
"I we are going to do this let's do it right, I'll reserve a suite at the Hilton. We will go out for cocktails and a nice dinner first, OK?"
"Frank, that sounds very nice. I do have a nice cocktail dress. I'll bring it and change later. About five?"
"That's fine. I'll be waiting for you."
I knew Jane was at her bridge club so I went home and packed a few things. I also took all my personal files and business files I had at home. I took my lap top computer and left her desk top. I wrote her a note. It was short and sweet. It read:
I know.
Frank
I installed a hidden wire tap and recorder on our phone. I could hear phone conversations from my phone by playing them back, or by just listening as they were recorded. I climbed in my truck and headed for the Hilton. My reservation was waiting. I went up to my penthouse suite, it was elegant. I took a quick shower and shaved. I slipped on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.
I got on the phone and canceled all her credit cards except her debit card on our joint bank account. I left $2000 in that account for her.
