I wasn't exactly sure what genre to put this in. I could fit in Novels, Loving Wives, Erotic Coupling, as it has all of those characteristics. THIS IS A LONG STORY! This is not a quick stroke story, so look elsewhere if that is your Primary Objective, please. If you want to be entertained, hopefully this will do the trick.
There are a few authors I want to thank for the inspiration their stories gave me. DG Hear, vastiesmith, ManyFeathers, Longhorn, Wanderer, ohio...you guys are the best. And I would love to hear any constructive feedback you or anyone else can give me.
Also, be aware that while I tried to base these happenings on realistic events, some of it is not what may happen in real life. I wanted to explore the complete breakdown of a persons' life (his dreams, happiness, his spirit, and his heart) as he goes through changes. And yes! I acknowledge what the character does in the story is certainly not what every man would do, and I hope that some of the critics that may read this can acknowledge that what they would do is not what every man in the world would do. Were all different, and thankfully so!
This story is completely from imagination. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to the comments it may receive.

Prologue
Eight years has come and gone and until just recently things have been much better than I could ever deserve. They say God works in mysterious ways. I can't speak for everyone but you sure are a mystery to me. For example, why is it that gorgeous women always seem to be attracted to a bad boy and not want anything, romantically speaking, with good honest men? Why does a drunken person survive an auto accident unscratched while the victim often ends up in the hospital or in the morgue? How does an average schmuck like me end up marrying a mortal goddess? I know that I can't explain it.
For the last 7 years I have been married to this goddess, Lisa. We met when I was home on leave from the Navy stationed overseas. My name is Joe Fallow. I am not Don Juan or Rico Suave' by any stretch of the imagination. I am 5' 11" and 190 pounds with the few extra pounds going to the midsection ensuring that the six-pack abs I once had is long gone. I'm not chubby, just not in the best shape I was once in. I have short brown hair, blue eyes with a mustache and goatee. Everything about me screams "Don't give me a second look" which is precisely what Lisa did 8 years ago. When Lisa and I met I was in the middle of my obligation to the Navy. I was an F/A-18 Hornet pilot and for the Aviation Officers Candidate School and flight schools I had to obligate six years. I wanted to fly as often as possible so I chose to be in a forward-deployed area for the opportunity.
While on leave I met Lisa while at a nightclub one town over from my hometown in Northwest Florida. I was there with a buddy from Florida State, named Mark. He was meeting his new girlfriend Pam there and she was bringing some of her girlfriends there. Lisa was one of them but Pam had ideas to set up their friend Sherry with me. They were all attending UWF and were a really tight-knit group. They were all nice looking women but there was something about Lisa. Stunning would be an understatement. Her long blonde hair showed a faded perm and flowed beautifully past her shoulders. Her bronze tanned skin enveloped her petite curvy frame. A couple of inches shorter than I am. Her eyes, also blue, lit up a room as she walked in. Just enough make-up to accent her features although she hardly ever wore any. She had such a natural beauty and aura about her. But what I noticed most of all that night was that she noticed me! There were definitely sparks that night but, mutually, it wasn't between me and Sherry. It was with Lisa.
Lisa and I hit it off very well that night and spent the rest of my leave together whenever she wasn't in class or sleeping. Mark, Pam, Lisa and I spent a lot of time together just hanging out and Marks house. As my leave was coming to an end I had a long talk with Lisa and agreed to write and call each other to see where things go. I really liked Lisa a lot and wished she could go with me back to Japan but she was finishing up her degree in Business Administration.
Our last night together was a sad one as Lisa cried most of the night. Up to this point we haven't had sex. I never pushed the issue. I wanted us to get to know each other. To respect each other and not have sex cloud our true feeling like it often does. Truth be told, her intelligence and her beauty stimulated me. Don't get me wrong, she gave me an incredible hard-on by just a smile and her warm, inviting arms as we held each other. And being single overseas gave me a lot of experience and confidence that I knew I could pleasure her beyond her wildest dreams. I just felt that if she wanted it she would let me know in her own way.
She sobbed into my neck as we held each other in her apartment, on her couch.
"SShhhh! It's OK sweetheart! I promise I will be back."
"I am going to miss you so much Joe. I don't want you to go. Can't you stay a little longer?"
"I wish like hell I could Lisa, I really do." I said, gently rubbing her back.
She looked up and into my eyes. "Promise me you will come back to me, Joe. Give me something to look forward to, please!"
"I can promise you that, Lisa. But 10 months is a long time and I don't expect you to try to keep yourself for me. You have a life to live too and you deserve to be happy, even if it's not with..."
She placed her fingers over my lips. "I don't have a choice anymore, don't you see that? I love you Joe! I'm happy with you; I don't want anyone else. I have to wait 10 months now." Her voice cracked as the tears streamed down her face. "Can you wait that long for me?"
"Lisa, I have never met anyone like you. No one has ever captured my heart like you did. I don't have a choice now either. I want you, Lisa. I love you. I promise you I will come back to you. I would love for us to pick up where we leave off." She wiped her eyes and stood up. Taking my hand she pulls me off the couch and leads me to her bedroom and closed the door. She looked deep in my eyes with a serious, sensual look and started removing my shirt. I just stare back. Lisa ran her hands over my chest and rubbed my nipples. I reached over and removed her sweater while she stares into my eyes.
"Take me and make love to me Joe. I need you inside me."
I took her face in my hands and pulled her lips to mine. We embraced each other and then removed the rest of our clothes and lie on her bed. We needed each other. I climbed on top of her and held each other tightly and made love.
After our final climax we were lying on our side facing each other. "I love you, do you know that?"
I stroked her hair. "Yes, I know, honey, I love you too. I swear I will be back for you."
"I know you will, I could feel you tonight. I know you love me and I'm going to miss you terribly."
"Lisa, these last 2 weeks have been wonderful. I'm so glad you walked into my life and turned it upside down. Now I know my purpose."
"And what's your purpose?"
"Being the best husband to you that I can be and best Dad I can be when its time."
