The Mystery
It was a dismal Thursday afternoon, and Jim wasn't feeling too well anyway so he decided to leave work early. As he arrived home, Jim removed the mail from his mailbox and went inside to relax. After pouring himself a glass of red wine, he began sifting through the day's mail. He came upon one piece that particularly caught his eye. The business class envelope was addressed to his wife Victoria and appeared to be a billing statement from a women's lingerie shop. Jim pondered this for a few minutes. His curiosity got the best of him, and he opened the envelope.
Jim's assumption had been correct. More precisely, it was a statement for the purchase of multiple items from the previous month. Lingerie, lace panties and stiletto heels were just some of the items he noted. Jim was somewhat perplexed by this because he couldn't recall Victoria wearing sexy lingerie for quite some time. As a matter of fact, Jim thought their sex life had been rather sparse the last several months. The little voice in the back of his mind wouldn't be silent, and the more he thought about these things the sicker he became. He didn't know what it all meant, but Jim was resolved to get to the bottom of Victoria's secret.
The Investigation
Over the next several days, Jim made a methodical examination of their records, including their cell phone billing records, Victoria's payroll statements, her day planner, and their credit card, checking accounts, and other select billing statements. The compilation and correlation of the data presented an alarming story.
* Unexplained Purchases – Over the last 60 days, Victoria had purchased numerous items from a women's lingerie shop. Within the last 30 days, Victoria had purchased a vibrator and a dildo from an on-line adult superstore. Jim had physically located these purchases when he searched their bedroom. Victoria had not bothered to hide nor conceal them as they were in the dresser amongst her other belongings.
* Absences from Work - During the last two months, Victoria had taken either a half-day or a full day off from work every other week and it was always the same day, Wednesday. She had blocked out these times in her day planner as being out of the office, annotating each with a little smiley face.
* Mysterious Phone Calls – During her off days, Victoria always received a phone call from the same number between 7:30 – 8:00 A.M., some 30 minutes after Jim had left for work.
These astounding results unlocked a plethora of emotions. Was Victoria being unfaithful? Jim's mind screamed "Yes" while his heart whispered a reassuring "No." Jim needed to know the truth so he decided to take his investigation to the next level. The data suggested that Victoria would miss work again this Wednesday—two days from now. While struggling to keep his emotions in check, Jim began formulating his plan for that day.
The Discovery
Wednesday morning came rather quickly. Jim reluctantly got up and nervously prepared for work. On his way out, he looked deep into Victoria's big brown eyes, kissed her goodbye, and told her to have a good day at the office.
As Jim backed out of the drive, he waved goodbye, appearing as if he was taking his normal route to work. A short distance away he pulled into a local convenience store promptly turned around and returned to his subdivision, parking his car some 40 yards from his home.
Here, he was close enough to survey the situation but yet far enough away to be noticed. Jim sat sipping his coffee, butterflies fluttering in his stomach. As he waited, he wondered if all "stakeouts" were this unnerving.
Before long, a strange black Nissan Maximum parked directly across from Jim's house. A tall, medium built man exited the vehicle and began walking in that direction. Jim glanced at his watch and noticed that it was 8:25 A.M., so he anxiously dialed the mysterious phone number which he had extracted from the cell phone billing record.
The man paused, pulled out his cell phone and brought it up to his ear. From his own phone, Jim heard the man answer the call with a single word, "hello." Without saying a word Jim quickly cancelled the call and murmured, "Gotcha, you son of a bitch." He silenced his cell phone and put it away.
Jim watched Victoria greet the stranger at the door. Within seconds the man was gone from Jim's sight, now hidden within the confines of his home.
Jim sat there momentarily to collect his thoughts. Summoning his courage, he reluctantly opened the glove box, pulling out his 9mm Beretta pistol. Upon exiting the vehicle, he tucked the pistol into the small of his back and made his way covertly towards the back entrance of his house.
The Proof
When Jim entered the house, the fragrance of lavender flooded his nostrils. Under normal circumstances, he would have been delighted by this because he knew Victoria loved to burn scented candles, especially when she was in the mood. But today the aroma only fueled his anger.
Easing his way toward the half opened bedroom door, Jim could hear soft music and voices emanating from within. Jim took up a vantage point, which allowed him to see into the bedroom without giving away his position. Unfortunately, his mind wasn't quite ready for the surreal scene unfolding before his eyes.
Victoria stood confidently before the stranger, dressed in her newly acquired purple lace baby doll. The warm glow of the candles highlighted her exquisite features: big brown eyes, small perky nose, high prominent cheek bones, glossy full lips, deep golden tanned skin, and long reddish-brown hair. Her slightly curled, lustrous hair flowed down along her chest across the top of her 40 D breasts.
The lingerie accentuated her breasts and gave the stranger a great view of her ample cleavage. The flyaway nature of the lingerie did little to hide her incredibly sexy body, revealing her slim waist, taut tummy and navel which sported a diamond butterfly belly ring. Her mound was scantily covered by a pair of matching purple silk panties while a pair of black stiletto heels complimented her long toned legs. Victoria was indeed a beautiful woman by any man's standard, but today she had a particular demeanor about her—an air of confidence, beauty, and sensitivity.
Jim wondered if he should burst into the room before this went any further. After a brief moment of reflection, he decided to wait. After all, his heart needed proof. Would Victoria go through with this? His mind was already convinced she would.
Victoria began a slow seductive dance. She leisurely untied the lace string, allowing the baby doll to fall open. With the fullness of her breasts now revealed, the stranger took in a deep breath, his eyes fixated upon her nakedness.
Looking keenly at the stranger's face, she ran her fingertips and nails lightly across her breasts. She caressed each breast fully before rubbing, pulling and pinching her hardening nipples. Teasingly, she traced the outline of her light brown areolas with her fingertips.
With great poise, Victoria slowly turned around. Looking over her right shoulder, she smiled flirtatiously, allowing the baby doll to fall from her shoulders and arms. She wiggled her well-rounded bottom as she continued dancing. Her v-string panties didn't leave much to the imagination. A soft moan of approval escaped the man's lips as he intently watched her gyrations. Then, as if on cue, Victoria turned slowly once again, moving in closer to the stranger sitting comfortably on the edge of their bed.
