Revised and Updated
This is one-off story. I don't know where the idea came from. I woke up one morning with the outline set out in my mind. If I'm taking inspiration from another story on this site, I apologize in advance to the author. This is a long piece, which uses a lot of dialogue, and some sex. You've been warned! I needed the room to develop the story and allow me to do justice to the characters. In fact, it's grown larger than I'd anticipated, so I've decided to break it into three parts. They are all finished, so I will submit them one day apart. This is part three, and it will probably make a lot more sense if you've read the first two parts.
I could have put this in Romance, but as I put the first two parts in LW, I thought that this was a more fitting home
Fair warning, the conversations between the main characters is often long and involved. They are also sometimes repetitive, especially from the husband's point of view. Why? In my experience, this is what real life is like. This is what I saw happen when the husband of a close pair of very good friends found out that his wife had an affair. He so wanted to understand why she had considered doing it. I spent a lot of time with both of them, trying to help. He would keep asking the same questions in multiple ways. I believe he was hoping to finally get answers that he could accept. The questions and answers followed no logical pattern. They were convoluted and random. That's what I've tried to replicate here. Yes, he must have gotten the answers he hoped for, as they are still very happily married. If it worked for him ...
I can't thank Romantic1 enough for the time he spent reviewing this. Thanks, R. And a special thanks to BlackRandl1958 for her kind offer to review and polish the story.
Any remaining mistakes are all mine, usually because I can't resist fiddling with the finished story.

"Oh, it's most definitely yours," Kayla said. "Why do you think I've been going on about everything? I've been trying to prove to you that you're the only man I've slept with since we met. I might have done some foolish things recently, but never that. Only you and my vibes have been inside me, and as much as I love them, they can't make me pregnant. I'll go through any test, any time, to prove to you that it's yours."

Trials of Love part 3
We sat in silence; Kay had tucked her feet under her and was resting her back against me. I'd moved my hand from her breast and slid it under her dress to rest on her belly. I was amazed that I hadn't noticed her little bulge. I'd been so wrapped up in what had been going on I'd missed all the clues that had been right under my eyes.
"We are a right pair of idiots, aren't we?" she murmured. I shrugged slightly; as much as I loved this woman, I still had some reservations over her recent behavior. She said, "The correct response to that is, yes, we are, my love. Then you are supposed to kiss me."
I grinned and kissed the top of her head. "So, my loving wife became a wanton sex starved hussy in my absence?"
She froze at my words. Then with a degree of forced humor said, "Get it right, old man; that's drug addled sex fiend to you. All I can say is, thank God for vibrators and dildos."
She moved back, sliding up onto my lap, turning slightly to face me. "You're still worried aren't you?"
"I can't help it, Kay," I said. "It's all well and good to blame it on the drug interaction." " I've done research on this type of thing for my books, and I know that usually there must be an underlying attraction. Be honest, was there one between the pair of you?"
She sat very still for a long time, I was beginning to think she'd never say anything, but then she said. "As much as I'd love to blame it all on the drugs, I can't. Yes, I liked him, I never loved him, though; not in the way I love you."
She carried on, "He was charming, friendly and fun to be with, but that's all, I don't love him."
I interrupted, something I'd realized earlier, was niggling at me.
"If this started several months before I left, how come the first time I remember seeing him was on stage with you at the end of the concert the night I got into town?" I asked.
She gave me a puzzled look, "Was that the first time you saw him? I thought you'd both met at least a few times before that."
"No, that was the first time I'd seen him."
"I don't know then. He just never seemed to be around if you were there. If he was there, it was probably one of those parties, where we were carefully avoiding each other. He would have just been one of the group I was with. You may have met, I just don't know."
She paused to think, "It's odd, though, now that I come to think about it; he always seemed to have an excuse when he knew you were going to be at a party, but he was all over me if I was on my own."
She paused and thought again, then said, "Do you remember about six weeks before the end of the tour, you were able to change your schedule at the last moment and join me in Los Angeles for a couple of days?"
I nodded. "They called to cancel my appointment when I was about to check in at the airport, so I had a free weekend. I was able to change my ticket and catch a flight to LA with seconds to spare."
Kayla nodded and said, "The first I knew you were in town, was when you called to say you were at the airport and about to get a cab to the hotel. I told you to drop your bag off and come and join us at the reception in the bar at the Westin. Afterwards, we went on with Stephen and James to that brilliant restaurant for dinner. You were really surprised that they'd been able to get a reservation on such short notice."
