It was a Friday when the six month period ended and the divorce was final. By that time Janet had thrown herself into her work with a vengeance. Her performance was catching the eyes of higher management. With her good performance and confidence at work Janet didn't feel at all guilty about taking that Friday afternoon off. She went to her jeweler. Janet was a familiar face and was quickly attended by the owner himself.
Janet pulled the wedding ring from her finger and handed it to the man. "Shall I clean this while you shop?" he asked.
"No, that is not why I'm here. I want to trade that ring for something else. What have you got that I might like?" she smiled.
The jeweler knew the ring and also of Janet's divorce. He would be happy to take the diamond in as a trade. For three hours Janet looked and tried on different rings. She would lay one aside they finally reject it for another. Finally she gave it up. "I think I will sleep on it. Just keep my ring, I'll be back in the morning and make my choice."
True to her word Janet was back when the store opened. The owner smiled. "Have you decided or do you wish to look some more?"
With a twisted smile Janet said, "I've decided." She looked down at the cloth on the counter that held her wedding bands. "I'll take this." With that Janet picked up the wedding ring slipped it back on her finger and left the store. The ring was never off her finger again for more than just minutes.
Things changed over the next year. Jill sold her house and moved away. By that time Janet had not spoken to Jill in 6 months. Janet had moved to one of the guest bedrooms. At first she thought by purchasing new bedroom furnishing she could move back into the master bedroom. That didn't work. Janet then had the bedroom remodeled. New paint, crown molding, a new door way to the master bath didn't help either. Finally Janet gave up and resolved to sleep where she was.
Years passed. Mark was doing well in his job. He had learned how to make money in all he did. He had worked out a per diem system where he could make money on his travel. Mark now drove Ford cars. They were cheaper and didn't cost as much per mile to own as the Lexus he was use to. When the car got just about 100,000 miles he would sell it to a friend and purchase another. Mark was replacing cars every 15 to 18 months. Mark's territory had the highest sales and the lowest cost per sale. He had been given even more territory. Mark looked on that as just more opportunity.
Janet had been promoted twice. She was now executive level. She had a good retirement plan and was investing her money wisely. Her constant mentor was Hilda that kept a close watch on her daughter. Hilda was happy Janet had seemed to move on with her life but she could tell that there was still something missing that haunted her daughter. And the most evident clue was Janet's lack of a social life.
Five years after the divorce Mark was in a nice hotel in the LA area. He was working out in the hotel gym. As he walked on the tread mill he looked in the mirror. He saw his reflection. He was 6' 1" in height. Mark had gained 5 pounds since he had left Nashville. He now was 195 pounds but was still in good shape for his age. His hair was a little grayer at the temples but his big brown eyes still that a twinkle. He was so lost in his thoughts he had failed to notice the woman on the stair climber. She had finished and was walking toward the door. She stopped and looked in the same mirror as she put lipstick on her lips. She caught Mark's evil grin.
She was maybe 35. She wore spandex shorts that molded to her body. She had a white sports bra on with the top straps visible in the large neck of the loose t-shirt she wore. He had a pink sweat band across her forehead that accented the short pompom pony tail of blond hair at the top of her head. On her feet was a pair of white tennis shoes and pink socks rolled down on her ankles like pink sweat band to match the one on her head. She was short, maybe 5'2" and a beauty even after the workout.
Mark was thinking that this woman would have the right ensemble and accessories for every need. From walking a mountain trail in Colorado, to a dance floor in New York City. Or a trip down the Snake River white water rafting to walking the beach in Miami, this woman had class.
She caught his eye and turned to look at Mark as she put the tube of lipstick into the pouch that hung round her waist and was centered on the flat stomach. She approached Mark and looked up at him. "What was that little mischievous smile all about?" she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
Mark looked down at her chest. Displayed in bold letters across her pert breasts was the word guess. Mark grinned again. The woman followed his eyes to her breast mounds and looked back at him with a question in eyes.
"If I had a 'guess', I would say those two must be beautiful," he smiled.
Catching his wit she stuck out her hand, "I'm Julie, and you are?"
"Mark is the name and I'm pleased to meet you Julie."
Julie reached up took Mark's hand and led him away. Without a word the two went into the elevator. Julie escorted Mark to her room and when inside she turned and pushed him back against the door. She pulled the t-shirt over her head and then the bra. "They are a little sweaty but otherwise, what do you think, was your guess right?" she asked with a smile.
Mark looked at Julie's breasts and answer even more beautiful than he imagined. "Bet you say that to all the ladies. Now if you don't mind I'll take a shower."
Mark thought she had toyed with him and was asking him to leave. But when she added, "Are you going to join me or do you prefer to shower alone?"
The two showered together. Mark made sure he washed ever part of her body even kneeling to wash she soles of her feet. He loved the view. Mark was even with Julie's sex. He couldn't resist the urge to lean over and kiss her there. Julie smiled and put her hand on the back of Mark's head and held him in place for a minute. Mark took that as a hint and began to explore her wet lips with his tongue and his hands played with Julie's ass.
Julie moaned with pleasure and spread her legs just a little more to allow Mark better entrance to her. As Mark worked his tongue between her lips his fingers tracked the crack between the lovely ass cheeks. Soon his finger was touching her tight puckered rose bud. Julie squealed and flinched but it was not from pain or discomfort.
Julie pulled up on him and Mark knew she wanted him to stand. He did and found Julie waiting to kiss him, letting her tongue explore his mouth. When she broke the kiss Julie began the favor of washing Mark. She didn't miss a spot on him and took great care washing his manhood and his ass. Julie stimulated him by probing Mark's ass as she scrubbed with a wash rag.
Both were extremely hot when they stepped out of the shower. The heat they felt was that of sexual passion. They dried one another then Mark picked Julie up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom area of the suite.
