OK, I'm not going to be a wimp and I'm not a quitter. I am taking advice from the comments, and I am going to ignore the haters. For all the haters of my LV stories, just don't read them - Simple Solution! Yes, I make grammatical errors, mess things up, but overall the encouragement I've received to keep writing has given me strength to continue in this category. Sorry Haters but I will continue to write, just to annoy you :)
I made a BIG Mistake! In the previous story, my Big mistake was not finishing the story and trying to engage my readers, as if that would be a good thing. Boy was I wrong! I won't make that mistake again. By the way, I always finish my stories and I have done so with this one as well.
To Burn or not to Burn - ending
The days were now longer since he discovered Julie's affair. They tried to live a normal life and get past her infidelity for the sake of the children. Julie was focused on getting Austin to forgive her and trust her again, but it was going to be a long process. She gave her love completely to Austin, and spent every minute keeping him first, which should have happened from the start.
Julie's dad Bill was not quite the religious guy that he plays for the family, and was not happy about any of this. His little girl was seduced by a predator, and he was not going to let this go. This guy Ryan almost destroyed her marriage and hurt his grandchildren, which is something he could not stand for.
Bill was still pissed at his daughter and spent a great deal of time with Austin trying to convince him to show her some mercy and forgive her. He promised that the family would get closer and work with Julie to keep her on the straight and narrow. She was not going to get off easy, her life would be hell and the freedom and trust she enjoyed would be gone for a very long time. Julie would willingly agree to anything in order to stay together as a family.
After things settled down, Bill was focused on making sure Ryan understood the damage he had caused, in a biblical way. Bill considered the 'Vengeance is Mine' thing and just said - Bull Shit! He was more of an 'Eye for an Eye' kind of guy!
Bill decided that this guy must never destroy another marriage again. Even though Ryan's marriage and financial position has been destroyed, he still needed to pay for the hurt he caused to so many people.
After many hours of consideration Bill had completed his plan. It was going to be a dark and physical revenge that would make an interesting read in the morning papers. Bill purchased the items needed from places most people wouldn't visit and stored them in a safe place until the planned date.

At home, Julie prepared another amazing dinner, had the house clean and a cold beer ready for Austin when he came home. She was giving him the 'Man of the House' treatment every day and showered him with the love he had once given her. Ironically, things had turned completely around for Julie. Instead of her being the one that was showered with love, it was now Austin on the receiving end.
With the help of her dad, Austin was gentle with Julie and treated her kindly in spite of the anger that he still felt below the surface. Day by day things did get better for Austin but their love making had not returned. They tried several times to be intimate but each time they tried all the images of Julie in the arms of another man came back into his head. Julie cried understanding this was because of her cheating. Austin kept the frustration and anger under control. The thought of his wife having to be with another man to fill her needs had done great harm to his ego. Sadness and frustration continued to haunt them over those first few months.
Fortunately, the children were happy, and their home life seemed to be better than before. Julie made up for the love that Austin lost, and the children did not suffer as they became the main focus of their marriage, as it should have been all along.

Austin's Revenge
After learning more of what Julie missed from their sex life, he made some decisions. He recalled what Julie had described in counseling and did some research, he read many articles, and he also watched some porn videos, that he had never considered watching before, to see how can satisfy his wife's cravings. With his anger suppressed but not gone, he decided on giving Julie a night she would remember, and try to relieve some of his anger at the same time. He had his parents take the children for a few days and planned a weekend to remember with Julie.
Her confessions during their counseling sessions ran though his mind, and the rage grew stronger. Hearing that he wasn't enough for her and that she needed more, deeply hurt him in several ways. His ego was crushed, his heart was broken, and his brain couldn't compute the damage. Watching the porn videos, reading stories about rough sex, and knowing what they did, raised his anger and hate to a new level. Something snapped and Austin was going to give her exactly what she wanted, hard and painful.
Three months later, and after some tedious planning, Austin had everything in place. All the items were secured, the video camera was set up, the box of toys was next to the bed, and he had 2 1/2 days to let out his anger on his unfaithful wife. He wasn't sure how he would feel afterwards, however, he now knew what he needed to do.
With the kids now gone for the weekend Austin came home to find Julie sitting on the couch wondering what Austin had planned for the weekend. She was hopeful they would finally be able to reconnect. When he hugged her and gave her a nice kiss, she noticeably smiled for the first time since she could remember.
"Are you ready for a fun weekend, Julie?"
"Oh god yes, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
