Terri - 1
Dear Reader,
This is not my usual fare, in fact, I have written this from a man's point of view. This story has elements of BTB and some of RAAC but it also has a protagonist who gets away with some things that in the real world would probably land him in jail. Therefore, do not do what he does, even if it may have been a certain poetic justice. With that WARNING, please enjoy.
There seems to be a common thread in many stories. The clueless guy comes home early from a business trip, he notices a strange car `in the driveway and he is always blindsided because he was sure his marriage was strong. The same is true for the man whose wife says, "Honey, we need to talk", he thought everything was fine before she tells him that everything was not fine.
Yes, I thought everything was fine in my marriage. Terri and I had been married for just over twenty years and as far as I knew, we had been faithful to each other for something like twenty-two years. I thought we were doing well for an old married couple. We would have sex at least once a week and for special occasions such as my birthday or if I did something special for my wife, a second time would most likely happen.
I did not come home early and my wife did not sit me down to tell me that we needed to talk. In fact. I was working on a project that would earn me at least two and maybe even three extra rounds of sex with my wife. As I mentioned, my wife would reward me in the bedroom if I did something that she really liked. This project was a huge project, so I was hoping my reward would be huge as well.
Our home has a three season's room. That is a room that usually has a lot of windows, and is weather tight but does not have a source of heat or air conditioning. My wife loved that room but where we live we could only use it for a short time in the spring and for a short time in the fall. We would joke that it was only a two season's room. My plan was to connect a duct from the furnace and air conditioner into the three season's room. A little extra warmth during the cool months and a little air conditioning during the heat of the summer would allow us, mainly my wife, to use the room nearly year around.
The room is a couple steps lower than the main house and the best place for me to install the new duct was under the steps leading into the room. It was not an ideal situation but it was one that I hoped would work.
So, I was working in the basement. I had already cut the hole through the wall but it was not easily noticed because it was obscured by the steps. I was measuring and planning, trying to determine what materials I would need to get from the hardware store, when I noticed my wife hurrying out of the house while talking on her cell phone. I was immediately curious because she was speaking in a hushed voice, like she was hiding something. I stood in our basement, on a low stool, and listened to what my wife was saying. At first I thought it may be a work related call because she had been receiving more of them lately.
In a way it was work related because it was from her boss, however, they were not talking about work. At first she seemed a little angry, but the tone of her voice told me that she was also a little excited. After telling her boss that he should not be calling her at home. She giggled like a school girl and told him that it was ok, this time, because I, her husband, was not home. In some ways I was thankful and in some ways I wished I had not heard what I was hearing.
I could only hear one side of the conversation but it was obvious that they were planning something. My wife had already informed me that she would be attending a conference the next Friday and Saturday. She would leave Thursday after work and return the following Sunday afternoon. She had teased me saying that she intended to enjoy the peace and quiet of being away from everyone so she planned to sleep until she was forced to check out of the hotel Sunday morning. At the time I encouraged her to enjoy herself, telling her that she deserved a quiet weekend.
I only heard her side of the conversation but what I heard twisted my guts into a knot. From what I gleaned, there was a conference but it was not required or even closely related to what my wife did at her job. They planned to leave right after work Thursday and drive the 3 hours to the city where the conference was being held. It was my wife who suggested that they not go to dinner but maybe just have a drink in the hotel bar and then "start having fun". She added with a giggle that they could order something from room service after they had worked up an appetite.
For the next thirty minutes I listened to her talk to her lover and tease him. The worst parts were when she told him that if he was as good of a lover as he claimed to be, he would be the first to have her ass. I had wanted her ass since I met her and had been quickly rebuked every time I even remotely suggested it. There were several references to me being clueless about what she was going to do. My wife also told him that I was a barely adequate lover and that if by some stretch of the imagination, I found out about them, she would divorce me and take me to the cleaners.
Based on their conversation I was pretty sure that they had not consummated their affair, yet. Their contact had been limited to meeting for lunch and a couple make out sessions in a supply closet where he touched her breasts and her ass over her clothes.
Sometime during that conversation, I realized that I needed evidence. I was sure I was going to be divorced. The only question was, would I be the one to file or would she divorce me when I confronted her. Because I was going to confront her. It would be another slap in my face if she chose to go with her lover after I asked her not to, but I was not going to let this go unchallenged. I was able to prop my phone up at the far edge of the hole that I had made for the vent. I set it to video record. You could see my wife was gushing over this guy and absent mindedly rubbing her breasts while she talked to her lover about working up an appetite in their hotel room.
