Prologue:
The following is obviously a continuation of the Lost Creek Wives' Club (LCWC) series, and I highly recommend reading the prior chapter first as an introduction due to the long delay between installments. Sorry about that, and I hope to publish the next installment in a more timely manner.
As always, comments are welcome as long as they are constructive. Thank you.

I stayed with Jim, until he was sound asleep, which took all of five minutes. As soon as he was, I put a robe on and went to the kitchen to make myself a cup of herbal tea. Once settled in the TV room I went through the photos Jim took. When I decided on one that captured his semen oozing out my mouth and down his cock perfectly I sent it to Maureen with a caption stating...'Wish you were here!!' Along with a half dozen smiley emojis.
It took a few minutes, but eventually she called.
As soon as I answered..."My God Lacey, you're amazing. And you did it again."
"Did what again?"
"Send me a racy photo while watching TV in bed with John."
"Don't tell me he saw it?"
"Afraid so. Same as last time when I couldn't turn the phone away fast enough. You'd think I know better than to open something from you with him lying next to me. Not that it matters after he cummed in your mouth."
"Where are you now?"
"Downstairs in the kitchen." Which meant we could talk freely.
"You know I wouldn't let just anyone cum in my mouth."
"I know you wouldn't, but you spoiled John."
"Are you letting him cum in your mouth now? You said you would after you saw how much he enjoyed it."
"Yes I am, but I'm not as accepting of it as you are. At least not yet. I just haven't been able to block the unpleasant taste like you do. But I'm getting there."
"I'm pleased to hear it, for both your sake. Now what did you want to talk to me about?"
"The 'Avon Lady' wants to visit with us before she does her presentation on Friday for our social group. She has a few things she'd like to go over with us, plus see where she'll be making her presentation to get an idea of how to stage it based on the venue."
"We need to stop calling her the Avon Lady, does she have a name?"
"Colette, and she even has a slight French accent. But she said most of her friends call her Cole."
"Kind of masculine. I wonder if there's any hidden connotation to it."
"She sure didn't sound masculine. Sexiest voice I've ever heard over the phone with her cute accent. Can't wait to meet her."
"And when will that be?"
"Tuesday, and I hope you don't have anything planned as it's the only day she can meet with us."
I let out a quiet sigh of relief..."No I don't, Tuesday's fine, but you didn't mention a time." I feared she was going to say Monday or Thursday. The days I was going to meet with Julie and Louise respectively.
"She'll be here around 12:30 and said she'll need a good hour or two with us so plan on being here by noon."
"I will, and do you need me to bring anything?"
"Just yourself. Now I need to go. I hear John calling me. And in spite of having my period, I think your photo gave him some ideas."
I had to laugh..."Have fun, and be sure John takes some photos for me." After which the call ended and I watched TV before deciding to sleep on the couch so Jim could have the bed all to himself to get a good night's sleep.

The next morning Jim seemed to be in a good mood when he first got up, but it didn't last. It wasn't long before I could tell by how quiet he was, his mind was back on work. The entire weekend was pretty much the same. Very little conversation between us, or any interaction. While it was unusual for him to be so remote, it gave me a much better appreciation of what a lot of the other wives in our social group go through routinely with their husbands who are all but consumed by their jobs or professions.
Jim pretty much spent both days working in the yard as though he wanted to be alone with his thoughts. While he didn't share them with me, no doubt he was having second thoughts about the proposal he sent the customer, and if it could have been structured differently. Whatever the issue was, acceptance of the proposal was pivotal to resolving it.
Monday finally arrived and Jim was up earlier than usual. I wisely stayed out of his hair and didn't say much until he was leaving for work when I reminded him to text me as soon as the teleconference with the customer ended. Thankfully it was scheduled early so I wouldn't have long to wait.
I then added..."If it's any comfort to you, I have a good feeling about things." Which I did, call it a woman's intuition if you want. "But more importantly, I have a lot of faith in you. Whatever needed to be done to resolve the issue, I'm confident you succeeded."
I was, and very much so since over the years, he's successfully managed to resolve a number of troublesome issues with customers, and the parent corporation.
"Thanks Lacey. You're usually right as you seem to have a sixth sense about things. I just hope your track record remains intact."
Come nine o'clock I couldn't help but think the teleconference with the customer was now beginning. I kept my fingers and toes crossed while the minutes slowly ticked by. When the clock in the kitchen painfully reached ten, I was on my third cup of cappuccino. Maureen didn't even call like she usually does Monday mornings to occupy some of my time. I thought about calling her, but since she didn't, I figured she had to be busy with something.
Finally I couldn't sit around idly any longer waiting for his text and decided to take my morning shower to pass the time more quickly. I had planned on a bike ride first, but decided against it. As soon as I was done with my shower, I checked my cell phone and there was a message from Jim. I took a deep breath and opened it...'Teleconference went better than expected. Even better than we hoped. Customer was extremely pleased with the proposal. Instead of pulling work out as threatened, they committed to sending even more.'
After I finished reading it and let loose with a big sigh of relief, I texted him back...'I knew it!' And attached about a hundred smiley emojis and post-scripted...'I love you and knew you would do it.'
Not long after I sent it, I received a second message...'Be home later than usual, but not too late. Going out with staff for a few drinks to celebrate. Love you too.'
The teleconference had to have gone well. As a rule, he doesn't fraternize with his staff outside work, and I'm sure it was a big deal since it's not often the "big dawg" takes them all out after work for a few drinks.
If I hadn't heard from Jim when it came time to leave to meet Julie, I would have canceled. No way would I have been very good company not knowing how things turned out. Now that I did, and very favorably it seemed, I was overjoyed. Other than Maureen, there wasn't anyone I would have wanted to spend some time with.

When I arrived at the Electric Percolator, Julie was already there in the same booth we used last time. As soon as she saw me she stood up and looked stunning in a balloon sleeve sundress that came down to just above the knees with a plunging v-neck neckline and no bra. It had a rusty orange matte print that complimented her pretty auburn hair and was tied around the waist, which helped to accentuate her figure. Her make-up was minimal, but done to perfection and she simply radiated as she stood there watching me making my way to her. As I did, I couldn't help notice how almost every set of eyes regardless of gender were admiringly focused on her. But she was oblivious to it as she was fixated on me.
I was wearing a sleeveless red on white floral sundress with a square neckline that came down to mid-calf with slits down the sides that went up to mid-thigh. It was pinched at the waist to accentuate my hips with front button detailing and a tie back. I wasn't wearing a bra either and was pleased to see I was also getting my fair share of admiring looks besides the one from Julie.
