"Well, what does it matter if they turn up at the same hotel, sweetheart? It's not even definite, and at worst it would be one evening over dinner."
"But you promised." Catherine sulked. "You said it would be just us and you weren't even going to carry a cell phone."
"But it will be just the two of us," Ash consoled genuinely. He had no intention of allowing work to intrude on their first weekend away in ages but there was just this one client who he couldn't entirely put off. It was the only loose end he hadn't been able to tidy up and it was huge in terms of ongoing business for the film making company he was building.
"I promise I won't carry my cell, darling. And if they do show up - and I really don't think they will - then it won't even be dinner. I'll see them for after dinner drinks and get rid of them in the time it takes you to soak in your bath!"
Catherine picked up her husband's cell phone and flipped it open. She showed him the screen and gave him a look. It was on and in full service.
"So turn it off," he implored. "It hasn't rung since we left home this morning has it?"
She turned it off and put it down, smiling sweetly. "You know I'm going to make it worth your while, don't you?"
Ash glanced from the road with an eyebrow lifting. "Worth my while, eh?"
She blushed a little. "Uh huh."
Catherine slapped at her husband's hand as he tried to feel her leg. "Hey, look, there's a rest stop," she said. Ash had mentioned finding a gas station with a toilet.
There were two other cars parked - both empty. The toilet was a small brick building down a narrow footpath. Ash walked down the pathway and as he entered the men's room he immediately recognised the sound of a blowjob in progress. There were two cubicles. One had a closed door and the other had a fat man pressed against the wall with his cock quite obviously poking through a hole. He turned to look at Ash but was about to cum and did so while Ash stood there watching in amazement.
Ash used the urinal and quickly washed his hands. The fat guy then left the toilet and a thin, pasty skinned man of about fifty emerged from the other cubicle. When he saw Ash he paused and waited by the open door. Ash hurried back up the path to where Catherine was waiting by the car.
"Do you want me to drive for a while?" she asked.
"Yeah - let's go," Ash replied, getting in and watching for the guy to come from the toilet. He still couldn't believe what he had just seen.
"I hope there's a roadhouse or something soon," Catherine said as she backed the car out. "I'm starting to get hungry. Are you?"
"Yeah, I could eat. Except I just saw something that turned my stomach a bit."
"What? Back there?"
"Yeah. That fat guy who came from the toilet had just received a blowjob from another man."
"Really?"
"Yes - really! There was a glory hole in the wall and he got sucked off through it by the guy who must have been from that other car. I think he would have done me too if I wanted it."
Catherine laughed. "Oh shit! And did you?"
"Did I what?"
"Did you want it?"
"Hell no!"
"But you watched them?" Catherine pressed with interest.
"No I didn't watch them! I walked in right when the guy was blowing his load. Then I used the toilet and walked out."
"Oh my god," Catherine went on in amusement. "You hear about things like that but I didn't think it actually happened."
"Yeah, well, I've seen a few glory holes before but that's a first for seeing one being used."
Ash paused in thought for a moment before adding. "You know, it reminds me of some of the hot things we've done."
"It reminds you of them?" Catherine questioned cautiously.
"Yeah - it just reminds me. In a good way."
"What do you mean, in a good way?"
"Well, just that it reminded me of how hot you used to be when we fooled around," Ash said, feeling his wife's bare thigh again. She had on a thin summer dress - quite short.
"What do you mean, how hot I used to be? Aren't I hot anymore?"
"Yes, you're hot! Of course you are, sweetheart. I mean - don't you ever think about what we used to do and get turned on by it?"
Catherine took a moment to respond. She was blushing as she spoke. "Yes - I get turned on by it but you said we're not doing anything like that anymore."
"Well, I'm not suggesting we should," Ash assured warmly. "It's just that some of the things we did were every bit as crazy as those guys with their glory hole.
