Dear reader, I remember reading a story that mentioned the possibility of restitution rather that simple reconciliation. The idea stuck with me and this story is a result. This story won't appeal to anyone seeking a BTB story. I toyed with putting this in Romance but then again the wife did cheat. As always, copyright laws apply to this content. Enjoy.

Nora and John had enjoyed a good marriage for nineteen years. No, it was a great marriage for nineteen years, unfortunately they were in their twentieth year.
Nora was proud of John. He had been a rock of strength. He climbed the corporate ladder because he was sharp, eager and driven.
Nora met him in college, she pursued him and won because in college she was every boy's wet dream. She was not a scholar, she earned her degree but it was one of those degrees that lead nowhere.
John asked her to marry him after graduation and she leapt at the chance. He was one hell of a catch.
They loved each other through the good times and the disappointments of life. They had two children. Drew, now 17, who was the spitting image of his father and Meg, 16, who had a mixture of both of them.
As John climbed the ladder he spent more time at work and even the time spent at home he was always on his laptop and preparing presentations.
It is a common occurrence that in such a relationship the wife feels neglected. Nora felt this acutely. The only time she felt needed was for company functions, even then she was pretty much relegated to being arm candy.
One of her husband's suppliers was an incredibly impressive man. He had the build of a Greek god. His suits were of the highest quality and tailored to fit perfectly. She noticed him looking over at her several times that evening. He walked across the floor and shook John's hand.
"Thanks for inviting me John. Is this your lovely wife?"
"Yes, Nora, this Nick, Nick, Nora." John then turned and began speaking to another client.
"I'm happy to make your acquaintance Nora, your husband is a good man."
"He is indeed. Are you married?"
"I was, my wife decided the grass was greener on the the other hill."
"She must regret her decision."
"Not as much as I do. Life is very dull without her."
"Would you like to talk while your husband makes his rounds. That's what all these events are about. Come, I'll get the drinks. Would you like another cosmo?"
"No, make it a Martini, dry."
The two chatted about relationships. He talked about his IT business. His fitness regimen and his college years. She told Nick about how she chased her husband until she caught him.
"You are a beautiful woman, I'm sure getting him to marry you was like shooting fish in a barrel."
That flattered her but it also cut her. After nineteen years of marriage she had allowed herself to add additional weight and dress sizes. Her face had many more "character lines" than she was happy with. His calling her beautiful made her feel somewhat inadequate.
John finally found them and joined them.
"Thanks for keeping her entertained while I schmoozed the customers."
"My pleasure John." He smiled at Nora and she felt a tingle in the pit of her stomach. Lord, how long had it been since she had that feeling?
The following day Nora went out for a long power walk. She had been a couch potato for far too long. She began a series of simple exercises to strengthen her core, she was careful about her diet and reduced carbs and empty calories.
It was a month before John noticed. Instead of complimenting her he asked if she was feeling well. He said she looked gaunt.
By the middle of the following month there was another work event. She had lost enough weight that she needed to buy a new dress. John made no comment about the dress or how she looked.
"This is an important event. I can't afford to have anything go wrong. I'm going to need to be glad handing, please stick around for the first half hour, then you go do what you like. I'll collect you at the end."
Nora enjoyed the half hour but when John nodded at her to take her leave she headed to the bar.
She ordered a martini. She noticed Nick was talking to a group of women not far away he looked up, noticed her and his eyes popped, he mouthed "Wow!"
He excused himself walked to her.
"Nora, you look amazing tonight, have you been working out? You look like you have. You were gorgeous before but wow!"
"Thanks, I realized that I had been coasting for too long."
"Hey, you hunted your mate and caught him. It's easy to relax after a while."
"Is that what happened in your marriage Nick?"
"Yeah, she coasted, got bored with me. The thrill of the hunt was over."
"After nineteen years with John I can understand some of her motivation."
"Oh really, tell me."Nick smiled.
--------
Nora looked back on that night as the beginning of the end. Nick really wanted to hear how disgruntled and bored she was in her marriage. If she understood his motives she might have shut up, but she regaled Nick with all of John's instances of ignoring her and virtually abandoning her while pursuing his career goals. She continued on to describe their current love life as dead on arrival.
This was all Nick wanted to hear. He used all of his charms to impress her. There was a dance floor and a jazz combo playing. Nick was still sober but Nora was on her fifth martini and was definitely feeling no pain.
"Come, dance with me, Nora."
"I shouldn't, I doubt John would like it."
"I'm not asking your husband, I'm asking you."
He led her to the small dance floor and they held each other.
Nora could feel the strength in Nick's muscled arms, her hand on his back she could feel how trim and muscular that was too. As they continued dancing to the second piece the band played they held each other just a little closer. She rested her head on his chest and then she could feel his manhood expanding rapidly, pushing against her belly. She herself was now getting aroused. During the dance she changed position slightly and rubbed his erection with her body in the process. She felt wonderful."
Nora and Nick sat down and had another drink. John ambled over and joined them. They finished up and John and Nora said goodbye to Nick.
As she was leaving she heard Nick said, "I hope to see you again real soon, Nora."
--------
Two days later she got a text from Nick.
"Meet me at the gym at noon, 100 Main St. I'll watch for you."
She thought about it, it was naughty, she shouldn't, what would John say, what about her children? On the other hand Nick was too great a temptation. John had pretty much checked out of the relationship so why not have a little fun.
She dressed in the most provocative workout gear she had. It was skintight and she knew it was perfect.
Nick met her at the door. They worked out, he helped her add elements to her workout, things that would firm and shape. For her age she was already in fantastic shape. Nick took every opportunity to touch her as he instructed. During a hamstring stretch his hand squeezed that muscle and then let his hand slide up to between her legs. Nora moaned and pushed back against his hand, grinding.
Nick carefully looked around. This part of the gym was deserted so he continued rubbing her ass, and her pussy over the tights. He stopped when he noticed the damp spot leaking through.
Nick turned her over on the bench and he kissed her. It was hot, scalding hot. Their tongues danced for a long while. An employee called out, "Hey, get a room!"
"Not a bad idea," said Nick.
The room at the Empire Hotel was perfect, although it was pretty much wasted on the two lovers.
Nick stripped her and laid her back on the king size bed. Nick thought she looked perfect, a little old but definitely an older MILF. That was the one thing that his score card was missing, a MILF that was almost old enough to be a GILF.
Nora watched the colossus of a man strip down. His musculature was the equal of any action movie star. She could feel the heat and desire rising within her.
"Fuck me Nick"
"Oh I intend to do exactly that but first I want a taste of that sexy looking snatch of yours. Open your legs and show me those cunt lips, because I going to kiss them."
She found his crude language made her even hotter.
"That's my girl!" He laughed and devoured her, driving her to multiple orgasms. He turned her over and pushed himself into her. He gave her four short thrusts then entered her vagina with a full long stroke. She moaned louder. He fucked her rough and hard. He lasted for what Nora felt was hours but he finally came inside her.
"Fuck Nora, you are amazing."
"So are you, shit, we shouldn't be here. I've never cheated on John before."
"It was worth it Nora. It was an amazing experience. You should go back home to John, talk to him, Explain that you're feeling neglected. If you don't talk it out with him you're likely going to have many more experiences with men like me, one night stands will ruin a relationship. I can attest to that."
"One night stand? Is that what you consider me?"
"What else, Nora, you are married to a man I have to deal with on a regular basis. Anything more than a one time experience is too dangerous for us both."
He put his clothes back on as he spoke. Nora was stunned into silence as he finished dressing.
"Goodbye, and thank you Nora."
--------
Nora went home confused, ashamed yet sexually satisfied, something she hadn't been in a long time.
John was in the middle of negotiating a deal that was monopolizing his time and energy. It gave her space to consider Nick and what happened between them. It was the one night stand comment that burned a hole in her. Surely Nick wanted more that a single fuck in a fancy hotel room. Yet he hadn't tried to reach out to her. It left her wondering what to do next.
--------
John's negotiations were going well. He was just putting a few finishing touches on a contract to be signed when his telephone rang.
"Mr. Smith?"
"Yes, speaking."
"I run the gym here on Main St. Do you a fellow by the name of Nick Taylor."
"Yes, he's a business associate."
