Danny Devine, whose real name was Daniel Delston, was balls deep in the naked blonde who was on all fours in front of him. All through his set that night, from her front table seat, she had been flashing legs, tits and finally pussy and in spite of a polite but firm turn down as he left the stage that night, she had followed him to the dressing room area, passed a lot of cash to the security guards and got into his room.
Years before the gossip magazines had played up his "addiction" and she had made it her mission in life to find out if it was true. Now, here she was, living the truth or more accurately, "fucking" the truth! As the articles had predicted, in spite of his love for his wife and his family, he would not be able to turn down a chance to get laid.
Danny had two main problems just then, the first, and interestingly, the most significant to him, was hating himself for being so weak and giving in to his addiction and the second was that his wife, whom he loved a very great deal, had just come in through the dressing room door.
Danny cut short that gig and headed for home the next day.
At 37 he had seen it all. Two number one hit records and a number of top 10 hits, 5 movies, all of which were panned by the critics and all of which had been box office hits and had made him what he called "an obscene amount of money" and numerous tours including 2 "farewell" tours and at least three others that were either called, or inferred to be, "comeback" tours.
One of his favorite lines with close friends and family was that Harrison Ford, the star of stars, would have to make at least 5 movies to gross what Danny had already invested.
Still, he loved to sing and perform and usually accepted one or two gigs a year at a major Las Vegas or Atlantic City hotel. Each time he promised Liz and perhaps more importantly, himself, he would stay away from the casual sex Dr. Cranston had told both he and Liz he was addicted to.
He often did!
This time, as in all too many others, he had failed!
There was nothing Liz could say or do, that could make him feel worse than he already did. Clearly she was upset, hurt and again, humiliated, but her vitriol couldn't even come close to the shame he heaped upon himself.
For the next several days he brooded over his failure to stay out of trouble. His only respite from his self inflicted shame and humiliation was the chance to play with his three kids, Angela 12, Robert 9 and Sylvia 7. As they played together on the vast lawns of their estate or in the huge pool out back of their home, it was obvious to anyone who saw, most particularly Liz Delston, that he adored them and they, him!
Aside from this affliction, he was as good a father and husband as anyone could ask!
On numerous occasions Danny had tried to tell her that it was "just sex" and that he "loved only her" but he still was ashamed and still wanted some way to go on the road periodically, perform and entertain people and avoid the shame and embarrassment of the casual sex that seemed to pursue him no matter where he went..
Deep in her heart Liz felt he was trying and rejoiced on those occasions when he would return home free and clear of any infidelity. After a while, her public persona was one of reluctant tolerance. In fact, she was convinced long ago by Dr. Cranston, that Danny was addicted, every bit as much as a drug addict or an alcoholic, and regrettably, the resources available to deal with those two addictions were a great deal more accessible than any there was to deal with Danny's problem.
He had added, however, that there was a center in Los Angeles that had been doing some experimental work in this area but no solid results were yet published.
In opposition to the classic scenario in cases like this, it was ultimately Liz who worked to convince Danny that they could get past it and that he could do better next time.
Danny was becoming increasingly depressed that he had once again given in. That he had once again failed. That he had once again hurt the one whom he loved more than life itself!
Years earlier and many times since, he had offered a divorce with a financial settlement that would make her one of the richest women in the US, but he knew if she took it, life as he knew it would be over for him. Liz loved him back ten times over and wanted no part of a divorce or a financial settlement. She wanted her family and Danny, whom she loved with all of her heart and whom she knew to be a better father and husband (aside from his affliction) than anyone else she could name.
About two weeks after this latest incident, Liz had initiated some intimacy into his current brooding ways.
Although he was deep into himself and his failure to avoid casual sex, his love for his wife and his desire for intimacy with her, overpowered his self inflicted celibacy.
One delightful evening with the children they had played "World Cup Soccer" on the lawn and where the men's team, in spite of being short one player, had successfully beaten off a last minute challenge by the "women's" team and had held on to win 2 – 1. After an exciting victory celebration through which the children had lost track of who won, they had put three exhausted but totally delighted children to bed then retired to their own bedroom.
There, Liz proclaimed that "to the victor go the spoils". Then, dressed in a brand new scarlet red teddy, she proceeded to offer herself to Danny.
His love and desire for her overtook his shame and he slowly and deliberately teased her by kissing, first her lips, her neck, her breasts and her pussy. He was infuriatingly slow to move on and lifted both her excitement level and her love for him to new heights. He did all he could think of and some things, that he had no idea where they came from, to make her experience this night special and exciting, beyond imagination.
Later that night, having experienced countless orgasms, and never knowing when, or even if, Danny had gotten his "rocks off", Liz fell in to an exhausted sleep that lasted until late the next morning when she woke to find Danny had fed and dressed the kids and sent them off to her mother and father's where they were to spend the weekend.
Liz was excited!
It certainly looked to her as if Danny had got past that incident in Las Vegas and that she had "her Danny" back. She was about to find out that was not the case!
Danny was unusually serious when he brought her breakfast in bed and she knew he needed to "talk".
After pointing out the special breakfast he had prepared including champagne and orange juice, fresh fruit, crepes with strawberries and whipped cream and coffee laced with her favorite liqueur, Danny finally got to the point.
"Babe, I want to look in to that experimental procedure Dr. Cranston told us about."
Although having a faithful husband would be marvelous, Liz was not too quick to agree.
"Honey, I know we both want better for our marriage but I'm not keen on experiments. You have always bounced back from these events and we have survived and I believe things are getting better each time. Maybe it would be better if we waited until more research information was available."
After more than an hour of discussion, it became apparent to Liz that Danny was determined to further explore this possibility. Having verbalized her fears of the unknown she finally gave in and agreed to at least explore it with him.
His delight was immediately apparent and for the rest of the weekend, until her parents returned the children late Sunday afternoon, he looked for and did all the things that would please her both physically and emotionally. If she thought she had experienced countless orgasms that Friday night after the "World Cup" match, she had yet to learn the meaning of "countless".
Danny spent the weekend kissing, caressing and licking her entire body. At times the level of sexual excitement had been overwhelming, at times it had been quiet and comforting. If she had been allowed to design her own, extremely selfish and personally satisfying weekend, she believed she could not have come close to the one Danny gave her.
At times she found herself watching a favorite movie with Danny eating her pussy during the erotic scenes. She experienced a full body massage that rivaled any that a "registered massage therapist" might have provided, particularly the massage of her tits, ass and pussy which took her "over the top" more times than she could count.
The highlight for her was in their bed that evening where Danny made slow, passionate love to her. Her most favorite time was looking into his eyes as he reached the point where he could hold off no more and had finally allowed himself to cum into her.
Five days later, having safely seen the children off to summer camp and armed with a referral letter from Dr. Cranston, they were at the "Center for Addictions" in Ralston, California speaking with the Director of Programs, a Dr. Ronald Brown. Dr. Brown had read the referral letter with great care and had taken the unusual step of speaking directly with Dr. Cranston to become more familiar with the circumstances of this case. After seemingly endless interviews both together and separately, they were given an appointment time three days later when the center indicated a response to their application for assistance would be given.
Danny was almost impossible to live with during that time. Liz began to see first hand how much he wanted to get past this condition, how much he wanted to be true to her and their kids and if at all possible, she felt she loved him even more.
When the day finally arrived Danny was relieved to hear that the center was interested in his case and although still in the experimental stage, they believed they had a treatment protocol that would help.
